Hi, it's me again. This is something I started a while ago but of course, I didn't finish it yet... -.- Anyways, I've always wanted to make a fic where Anna comes back, 'cause I thought it would be cool. This is also my first time at writing something squishy ( romantic ) ...

This is just pretty much seeing if people like it, so don't mind if it's short...

Me: And now, time for the Disclaimer! Genis, get over here!

Genis: What? What am I supposed to do!

Me: Read what's written on your hand...

Genis: ...Genis + Presea...AH! T-t-that's n-not...

Me: OTHER hand...:sigh:

Genis: R-right...Heisui doesn't own Tales of Symphonia...

Me: R&R, mkay?


The mist was thick in the Iselian forest. It was quiet. Too quiet. A flash of light came down from the heavens, making every single animal or monster run in the opposite direction.

A woman with long, brown hair and brown eyes awoke in the middle of the forest. The big flash, was indeed the cause of her ending up in a forest. Her eyes widened as she realized where she was. Her hands covered her face as if she wasn't sure if she was entirely there. "I'm...alive?" She asked outloud, her voice echoing through the eerie silence.


Raine closed her book after a few hours of reading. Somehow, she couldn't bring herself to go to bed. She kept thinking about...him. Kratos. But, he was gone, up on that dark meteor. He'd been gone for a whole six months. And she knew he wouldn't be coming back anytime soon. Yet, she longed for him to return. She wanted to hear his deep, cool voice atleast once more.

A high-pitched scream shook her out of her thoughts. The scream came from her little brother Genis' room. Quickly grabbing her staff, she rushed into the room. "RAAIIINE!" Genis screamed, standing as far away as possible from his bed...with a small spider creeping on it. Raine sighed and whacked the spider with her staff.

"Genis..." She began.

"I know...it's just a spider. But that won't keep me from being scared of them." He said, approaching his sister.

"I know, Genis." She patted him on the head and returned to her room.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Genis asked from his room.

"...I'm not tired" She answered simply. Of course, that wasn't entirely true.

Though maybe she should try sleeping. She slid into her bed and closed her eyes. She could hear Genis getting back into his bed, seemingly over the spider incident. Soon she felt herself drifting into sleep, yet not asleep completely. "Will he ever come back?" She thought, before falling completely into sleep.


Kratos paced impatiently. He was trying to contact Yuan, but he didn't have his communicator on. He usually always does, but of course, when it gets important, it's off. "Damn it, Yuan!" Kratos thought to himself. Suddenly, Yuan's face appeared on the communicator screen.

"What do you want?" Yuan asked.

"A way off this forsaken--" Kratos began, before being interrupted.

"May I ask why?"

Yuan received a glare for an answer. He gulped, because he knew that if he wanted to, Kratos could track him down and strangle him to death. To make things worse, he was in quite a bad mood.

"This is going to take a lot of mana. Are you really sure you want to do this?"

"Yes" Kratos answered, obviously determined.

"Alright then...walk into the portal next to the door. It should teleport you to somewhere in Iselia"

He didn't say a word, but without hesitation walked right into the portal. What happened next was a blur. A loud, painful blur.

The reason Kratos wanted to get out of Derris Kharlan was that he wanted to pay someone special a visit. Someone he had been thinking a lot about these passed months...


After hearing a loud crash, Raine jumped out of bed and scurried to the window. What she saw next horrified her-- the man she loved was laying unconscient, blood gushing from his sides in the middle of the road.
...So? What'd ya think? Good? Bad? In between? TELL ME! ...please?

'Cause if you all like it so far, I'll make more chapters.
