I do not own tales of symphonia, or any of the associated characters.
Chapter 2: Grief, and Hope
Apris 23 3923
I haven't written in two months. Apparently I had the Torent Virus. According to Yuan's mother that is probably what mommy died from. Her not eating, or sleeping after Father died made it bad enough that the virus killed her. I don't know what to do without Mommy. Even when people were cruel to us for being half elves Mommy always believed that deep down people are good. Martel is more like Mommy than I am. I think that people can be taught to be good. If they don't learn early that we are all the same inside then they become hateful. I think that I want to come up with a way to show people that .

It is so cool. I had my first lesson from Kratos today. He is working on teaching me basic self defense first because he says that defensive techniques like guardian are the most useful things for me to learn right now because, it will keep that bullies from beating me to a pulp everyday. I think I will like my lessons from Kratos. He is quiet but, he listens with his heart. He also does not treat me like being a half elf is bad. He thinks that all people have value the day they are born. I wish other humans were like him. I am making lunch for Sis. She is a really terrible cook, and Yuan, and I are in a conspiracy to keep her out of the kitchen. I think I will make curry today. After lunch I must hurry to my lessons with the Storyteller. He will be teaching me about Efreet today, and I will practice running through the Summoning Ritual with him until I can remember every word perfectly. Sis says that although the Summon Spirits currently have no pack holder. I may not attempt a pact until Kratos is satisfied that I can hold my own in a fight, and the StoryTeller is assured that I have memorized every Novice spell that he can shove into my head.
More personal though I think that Yuan really really likes my sister. I don't know what to think. Yuan is cool, and all but it is my job to protect Martel. Mommy, and Father would not want her to get married so young. I am the man of the family now, and I don't know if Yuan is responsible enough to take care of her properly. ( Mithos was amazingly mature for his age but that is common to the children who grow up in war zones. Raine Sage 7923) ( Kratos says "Mithos was always a spotty diary keeper. What he doesn't tell you is that he also learned several offensive techniques such as: Demon Fang, and sword rain in that lesson. By the time I had been teaching him 6 months he already surpassed me on many levels.")

Yuan asked me for my permission to marry Martel. I don't know what to say. Sis has had to give up so much that other girls her age take for granted. Between taking care of me, and her duties as a Guardian of the Great Tree she has sacrificed a lot. I think I will tell him yes. Than I can just be a kid again, and Yuan can help us. Kratos says my offensive and defensive sword techniques are good enough for me to challenge Efreet to pact with me. Now it is up to The StoryTeller to decide if my magic skills are up to the test, and have adequately memorized the ritual of the pact. If so we will be traveling to Triet ( oh how I hate the desert).
