Ask and thou shalt receive Okay. Chapter 8 now. Trust me its much better than 7 and I have included the explanation on why this story works. Yay.

Well I won't bore you with the details, you'll get them soon enough.

For Crystal Adept because I think they've reviewed every chapter so far, Fehize because I'm sure you'd like to know why Lloyd's wings aren't transparent and I'd rather not be strangled, and BlueIrish who wants faster updates and longer chapters.

Thanks to: The reviewers, readers, my lovely editors Selene, Mr. Eck and Shallan and special thanks to Eric who cured my panic attack about worrying if my writing was at all like William Golding.

Disclaimer: I do not own tales of symphonia, but Lloyd should have had something to conquer Eternal Sword or not! see chappie 9

Lloyd could only stare in shock. His friends had just disappeared. As Lloyd tried to make sense of what had just happened, Origin's voice came to him via the Eternal Sword.

"Your friends are not in any great danger, I sense they are somewhere in the city."

Lloyd quickly pulled himself together and headed for the warp pad. He warped to Welgaia and swore violently.

"Shit, I forgot how fucking big this damn place is!" Lloyd could have sworn he heard the Summon Spirit chuckle warmly at his distress.

'You're sure I just can't warp to them via the Eternal Sword?' thought Lloyd, more than slightly annoyed at his situation.

"Do you have a death wish?" replied Origin, "Your body does not have enough mana to use my power carelessly as Mithos did."

Lloyd sighed. "Fine, guess I'll just have to find them the old fashioned way." He started off towards the centre of the city.

This proved to be a mistake because the Holy City was a veritable labyrinth and Lloyd soon found himself hopelessly lost.

"Well this is great." Muttered Lloyd as he looked at his surroundings. His search turned up a computer terminal. "Hey, This thing at the Asgard ranch had a map on it, I bet I can use it to find my way around." He rushed over to it and looked down at the many shiny buttons and blinking lights. "Now…how do I work this thing again?" Lloyd was clearly frustrated at his lack of technological ability.

'Well,' he thought, 'when in doubt…' He closed his eyes and lifted his finger to the keyboard.

"Eennie, meanie, minenie, moe…"He started singing moving his finger from key to key.

"Catch a tiger by the toe." notably hitting each key as he went.

"If he hollers, let him go." The screen started flashing.

"Eennie, meanie, mineie, moe." Finished Lloyd as he looked up at the screen hopefully.

"You have selected: Angelus Project 2.0" chimed the computer. Lloyd's hopeful gaze dropped right off his face. God damn it! He had wanted a map. He turned to leave but the computer wasn't finished yet.

"Angelus Project 2.0 is a study done by Lord Yggdrasill.

Subject: Aurion-Irving, Lloyden."

THAT made him turn back around. A study on him? He stared at the screen.

"Read more Y/N?" chimed the computer.

Lloyd hit what he hoped was the yes key. What he read next shocked him to the core.

Angelus Project 2.0

Subject: Lloyden Shastaa Aurion-Irving

Parents: Kratos Sakaki Aurion (Cruxis Seraphim Stats Type-Beta)

Anna Sylia Miller-Aurion (A-102)

Species: Human (Update: Subject had proven existence of new life form Homo-Angelus- HALF ANGEL)

NOTES:

I, Mithos Yggdrasill, for the sake of science have aimed to prove that Angelic traits can be passed from parent to child on the grounds that a Hi-Exsphere has been equipped long enough to assimilate the traits into the DNA. This will ultimately prove angels are separate entities from planet-dwellers. Subject is one of a kind and thus for my hypothesis to be proven correct more data and variables should be provided. The following is evidence of my findings.

Red Moon, 1st Quarter

Subject has displayed mild angelic traits such as increased speed, strength and endurance. I have interviewed Genis Sage on the matter and have found it to be correct. Group appears to think it is the result of Exsphere's parasitism. I shall make further observations.

Red Moon, 3rd Quarter

Subject's angelic traits have intensified in a short period of time. Mana appears to affect them. I will continue to observe this fascinating phenomenon.

Orange Moon, New

Incredible! Subject has actually begun to grow wings; they have obviously been growing in for quite some time. Increase in food intake and sleep appears to make up for growth. Fascinating.

Yellow Moon, Half

Have discreetly taken a blood sample from Subject Lloyd and cross-referenced it with a scan from Kratos Aurion. Results were astonishing; Certain DNA traits have been passed to subject. Wings will not be the same but have found that wing joints have grown in shoulder to lower back area. Will continue in this vein of research.

Yellow Moon, 3rd Quarter

Success! Have further cross-referenced with samples from myself and Yuan Crestfield. Have discovered same pattern. However wing traits continue to be different. Theory: Human blood dilutes the mana channel turning the wings solid. Do not believe an Exsphere can fix this deficiency.

Purple Moon, 1st Quarter

I have made a break through! Exposure to mana of different types affects Subject. After drugging subject to state of unconsciousness I tested my theory. Three nights of this have proven my original theory. Exposure to mana accelerates wing growth and deepens angelic traits. My observations are as follows:

Night 1: Exposed subject to tainted mana. Wings grew only slightly. Subject was violently ill the next morning.

Night 2: Exposed subject to elemental mana. Subject's wings grew 3 inches during testing. Used all types for 1 minute FOUND ½ INCH GROWTH. Subject continues to be ill.

Night 3: Exposed subject to Angelic Mana (Mana that is pure with no presence of elements. Makes up Derris-Kharlan) Subjects wings grew 6 inches after 1 minute of exposure.

The above observations lead me to the belief that subject's body absorbs mana and converts it into its purest form and ejects what is not useable. This seems to lead to the growth of angelic traits within subject i.e. wings.

Blue Moon, Nearly full

Self-study has proven conclusive to original theory. Due to circumstances I am unable to complete study. Upon capture, subject will be separated and tested under controlled conditions. Further study is highly recommended.

Conclusion:

Subject Lloyden Shastaa Aurion(-Irving) has proven that passing angelic traits is possible between angels and human. Concluded possibility of half angel. Reproduction with human is not recommended due to further dilution of the bloodline. Please note subject has not fully matured so many variables are still possible and subject to change. Please refer to charts provided.

Mithos Yggdrasill

Lloyd blinked in shock. "So that's why I was always getting sick at Altessa's!" he realized.

'Wait… I'm not human.' He thought. Lloyd sunk down at the terminal.

"I'm not human." He whispered solemnly as he drew up his knees and buried his head between them. He tried to take it all in.

It was a lot to take in.
