Entry: Human Holy Potion

Characters: Lloyd; Colette; Genis; Raine; Kratos.

Timeline: This is a very vague entry, so I placed this somewhere after Hakonesia Peak and before… say… Luin. If you watch the skits, you might know where I got the inspiration from: "Kratos… angry?"

"Is it just me or have there been less monsters around lately?" Lloyd asked out of the blue.

"Hey, you're right," Genis agreed after a quick scan of their surroundings. There were no creatures in sight, just as Lloyd has said. "I never noticed."

"Heh…"

The smug tone in the human boy's voice wasn't lost on the half-elven counterpart. Genis frowned and said, "Hey, I wasn't the one who fell over because he thought a cloud was a hamburger."

Lloyd scowled as Colette giggled, Raine smiled and Kratos smirked. "Shut up, Genis."

Suddenly, a group of monsters approached from the west. Raine was the first to spot them and point them out. "Enemies coming from our left!" A mysterious force removed her from the battlefield, indicating that the player couldn't be stuffed replacing someone else to include her.

Somewhere else, a weird voice yelled "Around the survivors, a perimeter create!" If anyone heard it, they didn't know who said it. They were boggled out of their minds by the syntax of the statement for anything else to matter.

Back in Sylvarant, Lloyd, Genis, Colette and Kratos were gearing up for combat. The swordsmen had their blades out; the Chosen was clutching her chakrams; and Genis was a safe distance from the melee fighters with his kendama to offer magical support. They waited for their opposition to reach them.

"Give them no quarter," Kratos told the battle group.

Lloyd groaned. "I know already, sheesh. No need to tell us every time, old man."

Kratos sent a scathing glare at the younger swordsman. As soon as he did that, the monsters, which were only a few metres away at that point, retreated with panicked shrieks. Everyone stared, bewildered by the new development.

"What was that?" Lloyd asked, putting away his blades.

"Mr. Kratos had his scary face out," Colette said. "He scared the monsters away."

"It seems our mystery has been solved," Raine observed, now back in the group. "Kratos' glare has the effect of a Holy Potion."

"Somehow, I'm not surprised," Lloyd muttered. "I have the urge to run away too."

Genis and Colette laughed when Lloyd did run away – from a fuming Kratos trying to hit him with a Thunder Blade.
