Thank you all for reviewing! I feel so very loved!

Oh right. You may have all noticed the 'Chapter Two' thing there ... o.o; You see ... When I first typed this up I got a little frustrated with how short it was so I decided to lengthen it ... Then I half thought It could be used for another chapter. But it's all one chapter now.

Kaise - -Dressed up like a Talk Show Host- Today's Disclaimer will be done by Kratos Aurion (AkA Belt-man) and his sidekick Lloyd Irving! (Dimwit Lad!)

Lloyd – Dim … Wit Lad?

Kratos - … Do I really wear enough belts to be called a Super Hero?

Kaise – Just look at your Judgment Costume … how long does it take to put that on!

Kratos - -grumbles-

Lloyd – -sighs-

Both – Kaise Does NOT own Tales of Symphonia … or we'd all be Super Hero's.

Kaise - Anyways! Here's Chapter Two (The Real one) as promised!

Chapter Two - Can I Come?

Months passed ...

I knew I'd have to leave on my journey again to find the Chosen ... If He or She existed. My dream said so ... But you just can't trust a dream. They tend to over exaggerate your fears, worries, or happiness. Nope. Never follow a dream.

I met Martel's little brother, Mithos, who seemed to have an immense hatred for humans, unlike his sister.

The boy had blonde hair and pale green eyes, filled with the sadness only a half-elf could know in this harsh world. He always wore a pair of purple bracelets and wore white clothes that looked like they were meant for a prisoner.

The dog? It was a protozoan ... And it's name was Noishe, it seemed to know me and ... Well put two and two together and you know what I'm getting at.

The sun's about to rise and I'm sitting on the roof of the small cabin, trying to figure out what I'm going to do. These people were so kind ... And Yuan was defiantly my friend from all those years ago ... But... I had to find the Chosen and to make pacts with the Summon Spirits.

I shuddered at the thought of the last time I tried. Efreet had spared me and said I had a purpose ... It just wasn't to be a Summoner... That left me thinking. What was my purpose?

Was it to stop the Great War, which had been raging for nearly three decades? Or was it to find someone who could ... Or was it to just die?

I closed my eyes. No ... If it were my fate to just die then I would have died in the forest and would have been devoured by the Night Raiders who lurked around there.

"Whatcha doing up here belt-man?" Asked the familiar voice of Mithos ... Damn. Didn't that kid have anything other to do besides annoy the living hell out of me?

"Belt man?"

Apparently not.

"What?" I asked, looking over at the blonde who looked like he had something important to ask."No I'm not going to jump off to roof and commit suicide if that's what your thinking."

Mithos raised an eyebrow."I wasn't thinking that ... I'm wondering why you don't seem to treat my sister, Yuan and me like Dirt ... Don't you humans hate us?" He asked.

"No. Your just people to me. No different than myself ... I believe I explained this twice before to you." I said, getting a scribble mark above my forehead as I looked at him. "Humans are creatures which naturally hate things which are different than themselves if they grow up in that sort of environment ... Me? I grew up in a place where Half-elves, Elves and Humans were all treated equally. That place no longer exists though."

Mithos said nothing for a while."You said ... That you wanted to end the Great War. Right?" He questioned. Where is he going with this? I wondered.

"Yes. What about it?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at the boy's actions.

"... Yuan, Martel and me were talking ... And we want to come too! Please Kratos!" He said, practically begging me."I know you're a Summoner! I want to learn how to summon so I can protect my sister! And the world! I know that I won't get in the way! I'll even learn how to wield a sword!"

"..." I said nothing at first. This was ... new for me. People usually avoided me..."I'll think about it." I said, standing up and brushing off the imaginary dust off of my pants.

Mithos nodded slightly, looking a bit nervous as he hopped off the roof and walked into the cabin.

They could slow me down ... I thought as I looked at the now rising sun and closed my eyes again. Or they could speed up my quest.

It was about two hours later that I decided that they could come along. Mithos was excited. I agreed to make him my apprentice, both in Summoning and Swordsmanship. Why? ... Perhaps he reminded me a little of myself when I was young.

Now ... My only intention for ending the war was to let my family's souls rest in peace ... To insure that no one else had to suffer as I did, growing up in the harsh world in which no one would help three orphans.
-Flashback-

"Kratos! Look at this!" Exclaimed Charity, her blue eyes glowing with excitement as she bounded forward to grab a glittering jewel from the sand." It's so pretty!" She said. The jewel was a bright red color, which glowed as the light hit it.

My brunette sister, Charity, was still excited and hyper about everything that she saw. Her attention span was as short as my temper. Every five minutes there'd be a yell of 'Look at this!' or 'Wow what's that!'

Kaina, my six-year-old sister, was sick. She had black hair and purple eyes. Since she was sick I had to piggyback her all the way to Trient.

We were hungry, we were tried ... And we were all alone. Father and Mother were dead. We all knew that all to well ... So we traveled. Journeying to find a new place to live ... A new place to learn ... and to get away from the painful memories, which lived within the ruins of Iselia.

The crystal Charity was holding was easily identified ... It was an experimental jewel developed by Tethe'alla's armed forces called an Exsphere. It was said to enhance one's abilities.

I rolled by eyes."Put that down!" I said as I knocked it out of her hands."Now come one! We don't have all day to wait around."

We arrived at Trient by the evening. We were all thirsty ... But I had to find a place to stay. I told Kaina and Charity to go get a drink from a fountain there in the town. They eagerly did as they were told.

... I didn't find a place to stay that night. We had to sleep in a shed. By morning, Kaina was even sicker ... And Charity was sick as well.

I did my best to save them, using some of the weak healing arts that I knew to try and save them ...

Not even a week later both of them died. That left me totally alone in the world.

So ... Instead of getting depressed I went to attack Efreet, to make a pact with him and demand that he bring them back. I was young. I didn't understand the way the Summon Spirits worked. I didn't understand anything really.

I just remember Efreet crossing his arms and looked at me sternly."You have a much bigger part to play, Summoner Kratos. " Then ... Blackness.

-End Flashback-

"Kratos? Are you really going to teach me how to Summon!" The overly hyper pre-teen elf asked as he bounced along beside me.

"For the twentieth time, yes!" I said, now getting annoyed. That's ALL he said since we left! ... I guess I couldn't blame him though. It's really kind of hard to believe after all ... Half-elves are considered to be filthy creatures ... and yet I'm teaching one how to summon ... Oh well.

I had explained the legend of the Chosen, and the kind of Vision I had had about the Chosen saving the entire world from destruction.

There was also a darker part to my vision ... But I did not dare speak it.

Little did I know that it would one day consume my little half-elven friend with madness?
