Eastercat: Umm...I dunno really, but can you guys say the declaimer soon.

Yuki:Eastercat doesn't own anything that is related to Tales of Symphonia.

Kyo:Hey, I wanted to say the disclaimer,stupid rat!

Yuki: You're the one who's stupid, stupid cat.

Kyo: What did you call me!

Lilly:Ok let the chapter begin before... +Kyo flies past Lilly+ ...before they fight.

As we entered the fire seal, the first thing we discovered was that really hot and dark in there. As we traveled, more monsters attacked. Working together, we were able to finish them off. Soon we say a doorway, an orange glow came out of it. We entered the doorway. "Whoa…" I whispered in amazement.

We were on a stone pathway high above a pool of lava. "It's hotter in here than the desert!" Lloyd complained.

"Duh, just look below you." Genis pointed towards the lava. Lloyd looked over the edge of the pathway. "Whoa! I surely won't want to fall."

"How can we get up there?" Colette asked as she pointed to a platform up above. There was a faint blue glow coming from the top indicating a warp.

"Look at this!"

We turned around. Raine was indicating a torch. "Perhaps if we ignite it we could get some kind of clue. Lloyd, may you?"

"Okay." Lloyd took out a ring. Why would be need a ring? Lloyd went up to the torch and shot a trail of fire out of the ring! "Wow!" I whispered. The torch lit up and suddenly there was a rumble. The platform next to us rose up.

"This could be helpful." Genis pointed out.

We traveled through the dungeon and lit up all the torches (and defeated all the monsters) we could. Stairs and platforms moved up and down. We also found some treasure chests, full of useful things and new, improved, weaponry for us. Finally, we made it to the top platform.

As we walked towards the warp, suddenly Colette tripped and fell off the edge toward the lava! "AAAAAHHHH!" she screamed. Lloyd dived for her and grabbed her feet, but unluckily he was falling off the edge too. I grabbed his feet and tried to pull. Genis, Raine, and Kratos pulled me.

"Sheesh, Lloyd" Genis whined "why are you so heavy."

"Shut up, Genis" Lloyd yelled.

My hands started sweating. I was afraid that Lloyd and Colette may slip from my grasp. Finally, with a fiinal pull, we were able to get Lloyd and Colette back up.

We were on the ground with relief. " Colette," I panted "Please try to not trip anymore."

"I'm sorry"

Genis whispered to me, "That's not easy for her. She's a klutz."

Lloyd stood up. "Ok, lets unlock the fire seal!"

I groaned, "I'm too tired trying to pull you up!"

We rested for a few minutes to restore everyone's energy and we finally went in to the warp.

--------------------------------------------------------

We appeared in a big room, with a large platform alter on the other side. As we walked towards the altar, suddenly the room shook. "What's happening?" Lloyd asked.

I felt the mana rising. "Look out!"

A huge monster and two of its little minions came out. The monster looked like a big fiery tiger with lots of spikes lining its back. The two minions looked almost like the main monster except the only stood on two legs and didn't have spikes. Lloyd took out his swords, "Let's do this." The rest of us took out our weapons and attacked.

It was pretty hard compared to other battles. Sometimes we would get stabbed by some spikes or burned by 'Eruption', but Raine always healed us constantly.

Weith a final blow from Colette, the monster fell. I wiped my forehead, "Finally, that's done."

A capsule chamber appeared on top of the altar. A glowing ball inside of it seemed to loosen as a shadow came out of it and disappeared. "Was that Efreet, the fire summon spirit?" Genis asked.

The capsule went away, but the glowing light mass stayed, while lights streamed through the ceiling. No one was able to answer Genis's question, as a voice said, "Chosen of Mana, Pray at the alter."

"Yes, Lord Reimel" Colette replied and went forward and kneeled down next to the altar and started to pray.

Through the shining light above, an angel came down. "Colette, my beloved daughter, you have succeeded in releasing the fire seal. Efreet will awaken soon. For this you have become even closer to becoming an angel." He said in a holy voice.

Suddenly a light surrounded Colette and with a blinding flash, Colette had magenta wings sprout out of her back. They were not white and feathery like Lord Reimel's, but seemed to be made of light. The rest of us, except Kratos, gasped in surprise as Colette started to try out her new wings. Ramiel said, "The angel transformation will not be without pain. Fortunately, it is only for one night. I will wait for you at the next seal, which is across the sea. I hope you come Colette, my beloveded daughter."

He zoomed away in a ball of light, leaving feathers floating down. "Wow, I can't believe Colette has wings." Lloyd said.

Colette turned around. "Yep, I can put them away too."

The wings vanished. Genis jumped up and down with excitement. "That's so cool!"

Colette's wings appeared again and she started to flutter them. Genis still jumped with excitement, like a little kid in a candy store. The rest of us started to discuss about the next seal.

"So the next seal is across the sea?" I questioned

Lloyd replied "Yeah, so that means we get to go on a ship!"

"I wonder if any ships are working right now." stated Raine. "with all of these monsters around no one will even try to sail on the sea."

"Maybe we should just try at Izlood." Kratos advised.

"Yeah"

I turned around to see Genis still jumping with excitement and Colette still fluttering her wings. "Ok, that's enough you two." Lloyd smiled.

They stopped and said reluctantly, "Oookay"

We went out of the fire seal dungeon. What a relief! We just left the entrance, when Colette collapsed onto the ground. We surrounded Colette. "Is she ok?" Lloyd asked with a lot of worry in his voice. Colette weakly said, "No, I'm ok. I'm sorry for worrying you."

None of us believed her. Genis remarked, "she doesn't look too good, maybe there's a doctor in Triet that can help."

"It would be best not to move her." Kratos advised. "Remember what the angel said, 'The angel transformation will be not without pain."

Lloyd still looked worried. "Okay, Let's make camp."

----------------------------------------------------

The fire crackled as a night sky loomed overhead. Luckily, Raine didn't make dinner today. Colette was well enough to at least be about to stand up. I sat by the fire filling out my journal.

Dear Journal,

Hi! It's been a long time since I wrote in you. I think about 10 years. Why did I start writing in you now? Well, I'm on a journey. It's been very odd, but exciting.-

"What are you doing?"

I closed my journal quickly and looked up. Raine stood next to me. "Oh, Hi Raine, I was just writing something in my journal."

Raine sat down next to me. "So how do you think of your first day with us?"

"It's been amazing! Fighting, seeing wonderful places, and meeting people like you guys. I never had a day this wonderful."

Raine smiled. "It's been really nice meeting you too. I have a favor to ask."

"What?"

"Can I see your broomstick?" She looked like she was in Ruin mode.

With a confused face of why, I took my broomstick out of my wing pack, and handed it to her. I could see sparkles in Raine's eyes as they looked at every inch of my broom. "Wow, this broomstick is a perfect example of magitechnology. How were you able to make it, with the low mana supply?"

"Uh..." I couldn't tell her about Tethe' alla. "Luck, really..."

Raine didn't seem to buy it, but gave my broom back.

A question popped in my head, "Raine? I have a question. How were able to make friends with humans even though you're an half-elf?"

Raine's face saddened. "I'm not surprise you can sense that Genis and I are half-elves. We've been trying to pretend to be elves."

"That must've been pretty tough."

"You get used to it."

"I also have another question, did we ever meet before? I remember you from a long time ago."

Raine had a confused face. "I don't think so. I don't remember meeting an other elves in my life."

"Ok, then forget about it." I knew I met Raine somewhere. I looked over at Lloyd and Colette talking. "Do they like each other?" I asked Raine.

"Yeah, they don't show it a lot, but you can see it."

Lloyd suddenly looked sad as Colette walked away from him.

"HA-HA!" I heard Genis tease. "You got re-ject-ed."

I couldn't stop myself from laughing.

"Shut it Genis" said Lloyd as he laid down to sleep.

I yawned as I started to go to sleep.

"You met Raine before," a voice in my head whispered.

"But where?" I woke up from my thoughts.

Everyone else was asleep, except Kratos who was looking at the stars. I walked over to him. "Hi, why aren't you sleeping

Kratos still looked at the stars. "Angels can't sleep easily."

"That must kinda suck. One of my favorite activities is sleep."

The seraphim didn't say anything. Silence filled the camp area. Of course, I didn't like silence.

"So what are you looking for in the sky?"

Kratos put his head down. "I'm counting the stars."

I though about this, it reminded me of home. On nights that I couldn't sleep, I would look out my window and count the stars.

"You miss home, don't you." Kratos seemed to have read my mind.

"Sorta..." I lied. I missed it a lot.

"You should go to sleep." Kratos advised.

I was about to go to my sleeping spot when another question came to my mind. "Kratos? I noticed that your eye's sorta...soften when you talk to Lloyd, unlike other people."

"You should go to sleep." Kratos repeated changing the subject.

"But..." I started, but was stopped. Kratos glared at me saying he didn't want to answer. I went to sleep with more questions buzzing in my head.

YAY! After a gaziillion, gazillion years, I updated! SO sorry to every one.
