-Dirty little Secrets by the All American Rejects
Chapter 2: Childish Sentiments
The wind blew roughly, but it wasn't strong. All around him, lay bodies of rotting and burning flesh as battles continued to rage bringing even more bodies of burning flesh to the ground. The air stunk of blood and the atmosphere carried the burden of great anger between both sides. Although one side was obviously losing, the losing side had a one way ticket to make the winning team suffer a great loss or at least, for the leader that is. He sat by himself, crying and preparing to throw a temper tantrum if the scary people didn't go away and leave his parents alone.
His father was far off, fighting angrily against a blonde man with a staff. His mother was... where was she? He looked around the feild searching for his mother. The last time he'd seen was when her skin had turned a strange green color and she'd grown quite large. She looked very scary and he remembered that he had begun to cry when hse changed. He continued to cry as a large shadow fell upon him. He looked back with tear filled eyes and his eyes widened when he saw the green monster behind him. It lifted up one of its clawed arms ready to bring it down like a hammer. Noticing this, the boy screamed.
--------------------------------------
The auburn haired man sharply turned his head around when he heard the scream. It couldn't have been any of the Desians or Noishe since it sounded like a child's. It could only be...
"Lloyd!" he shouted as he gave Kvar another slash, then turned and ran to try and save his son. He knew he wasn't going to make it in time as the arm came down and Lloyd covered his head. In a flash, Noishe appeared, taking the hit for Lloyd. He fell to his knees and didn't move for a few moments.
Kra-Kratos...
The man walked towards them, eyes widened in fear and great saddness.
Please... kill me...
--------------------------------------
Yggdrasill floated towards the yard in front of the ranch and watched as Kratos fought off more Desians. He looked towards the cliff to see a woman which a large wound in her stomach lying down as a small brown haired boy gripped her tightly. A green and white dog watched them too, saddness showing in his body language. He smiled smugly at the child. He was small and probably couldn't take much. He'd be quite easy to kill. He considered attempting it right then and there since Kratos was busy with Kvar. He nodded to himself and was beginning to make his over when Kvar hit the edge of the cliff with a lightning bolt, breaking the edge that they were on and sending the woman, child and dog over it. He heard Kratos shout and watched as the Seraph ripped through the Desians and finally hit Kvar. He then ran and jumped off the cliff.
Yggdrasill went to the edge of it and watched as Kratos search frantically for any sign of the child and what he assumed was the Angelus Project. Kratos searched around every tree, under every rock and in every ditch until he fell to his knees. Yggdrasill left him there to wallow in his own depression and floated off through the forest. After fifteen minutes he began to hear a faint sobbing. He could barely hear it even with his angelic hearing. He followed it for a quite way through the thick part of the forest. He soon found himself near the cliff again but just a ways downwards. He noticed the woman, the child and dog lying there. The child was sobbing over his mother, who appeared to be dead and the dog seemed to be unconscious. Yggdrasill smiled and wandered closer to them. He then held out his hand ready to kill the child with a single attack.
"Yggdrasill, stop!" a voice shouted as a figure jumped in between him and the child.
"Yuan, what do you want? I'm busy at the moment. Stand aside," he told him as Yuan glared at him.
"You'd kill an innocent child?"
"That inferior being is not innocent! He will become a thorn in my side if I do not eliminate him now. Stand aside!"
"How will you stop Kratos then?" Yggdrasill froze and lowered his arm slightly.
"What are you talking about?"
"If you kill him then what will you have from stopping Kratos from killing himself?" He lowered his arm completely as Yuan relaxed slightly.
"Then what do you suggest that I do? I refuse to even touch that being."
"Raise him in Welgaia. Make the lifeless angels take care of him. You can use him against Kratos if he ever tries to defy you." Yggdrasill nodded taking everything in slowly.
"Fine. Bring him to Welgaia. I'm going to go see how Kratos is faring." Yuan nodded accepting his orders as he walked over and picked the boy up. He immediately began to cry as Yuan tried to quiet him down before Kratos heard. The boy quickly fell asleep in his arms. He sighed and whispered a small first aid spell for the woman before revealing his wings and flying off with the sleeping boy in his arms.
A silver haired woman approached the dog and the seemingly dead woman and gasped when she saw them. She ran over to them.
"Oh my, are you alright?" She pulled out a staff and prepared to cast a long first aid spell. After a long while, the silver haired woman's mana was low and she collapsed to her knees in exhaustion. The woman on the ground moaned as she slowly opened her eyes.
"Who...are you? Where i-is Lloyd?" she asked softly as the silver haird woman tilted her head.
-----------------------------------
Kratos stared at the gleaming sword in his hand. He made cut on his finger, not feeling the pain. Nothing compared to the pain he felt at that moment. In the blink of an eye his family had disappeared. He had nothing left to fight for, not even Noishe. He heard the soft, slow flutter of wings of mana but he ignored it and pointed the sword at his throat, prepared to be reunited with his family.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, Kratos," Yggdrasill told him as Kratos ignored him. He gripped the sword and closed his eyes. "Why would you want to die now? What if they weren't really dead or at least all of them?" Kratos' eyes snapped open. His mind began race with the possible ideas but he shook his head.
"It can't be. I searched this damn forest. I searched everywhere!" he thought aloud. He dropped the sword, his hands gripping the side of head.
"Your son is alive, Kratos. All you need to do is return to Cruxis and I shall return him to you. Only until you've proven that you're trustworthy of course." Kratos pondered for a minute before picking up the sword and sheathing it. He turned to Yggdrasill.
"Fine but I'm doing this for my family, not you."
And so begins the story of a father's pain, a brother's loss, a husband's battle, a wife's death and a boy's hellish life...
