Tales of Symphonia, The Love of One:

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

He looked at the shining sword, and wondered what it was like to feel pain, like she once did. He gritted his teeth, as he held the sword tighter. She was the only one he had! Anna changed him so much, made him into a better person, and now…she was gone! Why couldn't he protect her! Why couldn't he protect his son! He was…weak. And now, it stood out well.

He lifted the sword so it was in a direct line to his heart. "I deserve to die…" he muttered. He thrusted the sword to him…but not into him. He just pushed the sword close to him, so that the tip of the sword poked his clothes.

He just did that, so he could feel his heart beat fast again, the way it did when he lost everything…including himself. He had watched his son and wife tumble down the cliff, and then look back to Kvar. He growled angrily, deciding not to even go there.

Suddenly, there was a knock on his door. He ignored it and continued to gaze at his sword, wondering what it would be like to see his own blood on his sword. Yuan came walking into the room.

"Kratos…" Yuan sighed and sat on a chair. "Kratos, please, I am sorry. Really, I understand how you might feel. I…lost Martel, remember?" He shook his head, and stood, beginning to pace the room.

"No, this is not the same! I had a child, Yuan! I child that was so young, and I cared for! She made me…experience things I never would've experienced without her!" Yuan sighed, stood and grabbed his shoulders, making him stop walking

"Kratos, drop the sword right now. You can't carry on this way. Please, I understand it's hard to get over, but you must! Mithos is getting pissed…and you know him getting pissed." He shook Yuan's hand off him and walked past him, pushing him at the same time.

"I don't really give a damn if Mithos is getting angry, Yuan. He can do whatever he feels like doing. I don't care anymore. But, I just know one thing for sure…their deaths were my fault, and I can never forgive myself for that."

"Kratos, please! It's Kvar's fault and you know it!" He ignored Yuan and walked, to where, he didn't know. He just walked fast, going into a run.

He ran into an empty room, closed the door behind him, and locked it. He then took his sword and put the tip of it against his neck. Then, he slowly brought the sword down; ripping the skin and making blood drip down. He gave a small cry of pain, but continued anyway.

He brought the sword all the way down to his chest, now ripping his clothing and chest. He stopped, and fell to his knees. His clothes were now all blood soaked and he felt exhausted. But, he couldn't stop…he needed…more pain. He felt the need to continue, but had to stop, before he fainted of blood loss, and someone found him. But, he couldn't just go back out, with most of his shirt ripped and blood soaked, along with a bleeding neck and chest.

He looked around the room and found a sofa, and then laid down on it. He didn't fall asleep so fast, though, as he had much pain. But, he did eventually.

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

4 years later

He sighed and got up, to another day of Mithos's stupid plans! It had been 4 years since Anna and Lloyd's death, and he still grieved over the loss, but…under Mithos's watch, he didn't have much time to think.

He walked past a bunch of lifeless angels and shivered. 4,000 years and Kratos still couldn't stand them. They were one of those things that made your hair stand on end, and just mad you feel like running and hiding. He was off to a 'Seraphim meeting', called by Yuan.

He entered the quiet room, and sat down beside Yuan, who shifted uncomfortably. "Why do you seem to be nervous, when you called the meeting?"

Yuan sighed and said, "I'm not sure if Mithos will blow up to my proposal, or not. So…"

"Just what is this 'proposal' anyway? Don't tell me you've turned gay, Yuan!" he joked, smirking. Yuan lightly punched him.

"Don't be dumb Kratos! I just…it has to do with you." He raised an eyebrow, and opened his mouth to say something, when Mithos came bursting inot the room.

"Just what did you want, Yuan! I'm busy you know! One day, I'd like to see you try get Martel back!" Yuan glared at him.

"I am."

"Don't talk dumb to your leader!" He shook his head, and quickly said,

"Okay, can someone tell me what the hell this whole 'meeting' is for!" Yuan and Mithos glared at him, and then Yuan sighed and nodded.

"Fine, fine. Mithos…I wish for you to let Kratos have a…break. I know, Kratos has gotten over his loss…but I think he deserves to be…away form all this. Away form those…lifeless horrors, and all these missions." He gawked at Yuan, for the sudden bravery to be asking Mithos such a question. He then looked to Mithos, for his reaction.

But surprisingly, Mithos had a smirk on, and he was nodding.

"Alright, Yuan. I will guess you're just doing this for Kratos, as a friend, hm?" Yuan nodded and Mithos continued, "Well, fine. I agree as long as Kratos also agrees, after all it's really up to him." He gawked at the two Seraphs.

"I-I…" he stuttered, not sure what to say. "O-okay…"

"Fine, how about…a month? That's long enough." With that, Mithos left Yuan and him in the room. Yuan looked at him with a smile.

"So?" He shook his head.

"Thanks." Was all he could say. Yuan really did care for him. Maybe he didn't know exactly what he was going through, but he understood it must've really been hurting. After all, the scar from his 'mental breakdown' 4 years ago, was good enough to prove to anyone, how he felt.

Yuan nodded, and they both left. They took a corridor that often, for some reason didn't have as many lifeless beings, which went to their offices.

"So, where are you going to go to? Tethe'alla or Sylvarant?" Yuan asked him curiously. Tethe'alla had better technology, but Sylvarant had better scenery.

"I'll teleport to Sylvarant, but if I decide to go to Tethe'alla later, I'll transport there myself." Yuan nodded, and allowed him to rest before he left.

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

As he walked out of the Tower of Salvation, he breathed in the fresh air. It smelt so beautiful…and when you looked around, you'd find it was. And the field was so calm, in some areas.

But then, something struck him. He was in the exact same place, same position, when he came to Sylvarant to get Anna for the Angelus Project…but instead fell in love with her. He shivered, and began to fidget.

Then, something else struck him. Where the hell would he go! Yuan thought he should just come here…and do what! Travel! He let out an exasperated sigh, and decided to just travel to Iselia. It wasn't that far, and he sure as hell was not going to Luin! It took him the rest of the day to get to Iselia, and when he finally arrived, he was exhausted and decided to get an inn.
