They sat in silence for a while, entangled in each other's arms, watching the rain come down.

Kratos stood up suddenly, "I have to go Yuan, but can you meet me here. Tonight?"

Yuan blinked as the human looked around for his clothes, pulling them on as he did. "Of course I will, but where do you have to go?"

Kratos found his shirt last, he pulled it on quickly as Yuan stood, "That I can't say, for I am not quite sure myself", he stepped in front of the half elf, drawing him near and engaging him in a long, slow kiss.

"But I promise you Yuan," he said softly as they broke apart and he made his way into the rain, "I'll be here tonight." And with that Kratos was gone.

Yuan sighed, grabbing his clothing and getting dressed. Why did Kratos always do that? Leave him at random times for no apparent reason? Maybe it was just a human thing…

He looked around the campsite to see if there was anything left behind. He saw a glint of silver lying near his feet and bent down to pick up a small silver locket that was left in the wet grass. He smiled, spreading his wings and taking off into the skies.


Kratos landed in front of the grave of his late wife. "Anna, I…"

Silence echoed through the surrounding woods as Kratos tried to get his words together.

"I miss you, I truly do. But… I've moved on. At last I have… And I know you'd approve of Yuan. I'd wish you'd have had the chance to meet him." A tear rolled down his cheek, "But it doesn't really matter, tomorrow… I… I'll do what I have to do… To save our son. To save the worlds… So I guess I'll be joining you at long last and Yuan won't really matter…"

"No.." A soft voice behind him, "He matters."


((owwww, who is the mystery voice. hint: not yuan. and yeah, as a present for reading the crappyest chap ever: KRATOS JAMMIES!))
