Yay! It's finally here! After a long wait, I give you… The FINAL CHAPTER OF SILVERFEATHER!

APPLAUSE

I'm so sorry for keeping you guys hanging for about a month. I suspect that many of you are angry and would like to kill me. Sorry, but I had to get some other stuff out of the way first. And joy of joys, this will be my first complete multi-chaptered story. YEAH! It is an accomplishment I thought never to achieve, but now I have.

So, without further ado I present to you the conclusion of SilverFeather.

Disclaimer: I don't own Tales of Symphonia, but that doesn't stop me from wishing I did.

Note: This contains Spoilers for the end of the game, the very end. But I have changed it a tiny bit to fit my purposes.

Lloyd forgot how to breathe. The earth was shaking beneath his feet. One by one all the Summon Spirits appeared before the band of misfit heroes.

"You must provide a link." Came Origin's voice over the chaos.

'The Great Seed.' Thought Lloyd.

"Are you sure? Derris-Kharlan is almost out of the planet's orbit. Your body may not be able to withstand the forces. Do you still intend to try?"

Lloyd briefly considered his options. If he didn't go, the world would die of mana deprivation. If he did go, he would most likely be crushed by the thin atmosphere and high gravity and the world would die anyway.

'Damned if I do, damned if I don't' thought Lloyd. It was a no win situation.

"I said I'm doing it, so I'm doing it." He said, hoping his voice didn't sound as scared as he was. Lloyd pointed the Eternal Sword towards the heavens and put most of what he had left into breathing life back into the Great Seed. It was good plan, pity it didn't work.

"The mana's being deflected!" Lloyd screeched frustrated. And then of course, to add insult to injury, the Eternal Sword disappeared.

"The Great Seed… is already dead." Cried Colette hopelessly.

Lloyd went into a silent panic. "Wait! Don't go!" he shouted though he wasn't sure exactly who he was talking to.

That was when he felt it. The warmth on his back where his wings were. The world suddenly went white.

"I want to correct my mistake." came a very familiar voice.

Lloyd turned to face the speaker. He wasn't that surprised to see Mithos standing behind him.

"You did say that mistakes can be corrected, that everyone deserves a second chance, right?" said Mithos as he held out his hand.

Lloyd stared at the boy hero. It was not Mithos Yggdrasill, leader of Cruxis, hero of the Kharlan War he was looking at. He was looking at a child who just wanted to help people. He smiled.

"You know something…Kratos is right."

Mithos returned Lloyd's smile.

"We are a lot alike." Finished Lloyd.

"Let me help you." Said Mithos, still grinning. Lloyd reached towards the hand.

"Okay." He agreed. Lloyd felt his back literally erupt with power and searing pain.

"Ready?" asked Mithos as he dissolved in a shower of mana.

Sheena stared at Lloyd's sort of spaced out form. Then she noticed his shirt twitch ever so slightly.

"It's over." Stated Kratos.

"What!" yelled Genis.

"The Eternal Sword is gone, The Great Seed is dead. There is… nothing more we can do." Everyone sort of slumped at that statement, except Sheena. She was staring at Lloyd's exsphere, which had started to glow.

"Hunny, it'll be alright." Said Zelos taking her shock for disbelief as he hugged her.

"No."

Everyone stared at Sheena as she started to smile.

"Sheena…" started Presea. Sheena turned to look at everyone, an Lloydish I-know-something-you-don't-know grin on her face.

"It's not over yet." She stated with such finality that before anyone had collected their thoughts to say anything a silver light blinded them. When it subsided they turned just in time to see a pair of silver wings burst out of Lloyd's back, completely trashing his shirt and watched him take off.

"Go gett'em Lloyd." Yelled Sheena.

Lloyd flew upward so fast he almost didn't notice Mithos' spirit leave his exsphere and fly into the Great Seed.

"Thank you." He whispered as the Eternal Sword reappeared. Lloyd grabbed it and pointed it at the seed.

"For the sake of everyone who lives and dreams in this world, who has someone to love and something to live for WAKE UP!" Lloyd shouted as he felt his body turn into a channel for Derris-Kharlan's mana. The end result was spectacular.

"Wow." Said Lloyd as he flew toward the landing ground of the seed.

Back on land Sheena was grinning like a fool. "Knew you could do it tenshi." She said. Everyone else was just staring with dumbfounded shock. Kratos kept attempting to piece a sentence together, but for once he was speechless. Regal was the first to recover. He turned to Sheena.

"Well that was rather unexpected, don't you think so Sheena?" he said in a tone that suggested she had some explaining to do. Sheena's answer was rather playful.

"Why yes Regal, yes it was."

Presea decided they weren't going to get a straight answer anytime soon. "Shouldn't we go find Lloyd?" she questioned. Kratos snapped out of stupor and flew off towards the ruins of the Tower of Salvation. The rest followed on the rheairds. They arrived just in time to hear the end of Lloyd's conversation.

Lloyd had thought hard about his answer before saying "This tree's name is… Yggdrasill." Mana smiled, understanding his reasons.

"A fine choice Lloyd." She laughed, "I believe you friends are waiting for you."

Lloyd turned and saw the group about twenty feet behind him. He felt he probably had some explaining to do.

'Oh well,' he thought, 'whatever will be, will be." He smiled and waved at Mana before walking off towards his friends, leaving a trail of glistening silver feathers behind him.

FIN.

It's done! It done! IT'S DONE!

Glory Glory Hallijeluah!
