Lloyd: Wah, you're no fun!

------------------

"Kratos? Kratos!" Lyn yelled, waking Kratos up. Kratos felt his head, surprised he had actually slept for once in 4,000 years.

"Wha? What's wrong?" he asked, yawning.

"You… You were sleeping. I'm sorry I woke you. I've never seen you asleep before."

"What are you talking about?" he asked, looking at Lyn.

"Nothing." She blushed. "I just had a crazy dream. I know it sounds odd, but in it, I was much older, but you still looked the same."

"So, what happened?"

"I was sad. It was almost as if I was dead. For some reason, I wanted to be dead. I couldn't shake the feeling no matter what I threw into my head. Then… I died. It got dark, and lonely. Then I saw two me's. One was the real me, and the other was a look alike. I couldn't understand how she could be so sad, quiet, and fragile. She forced herself to smile. It made me want to cry. She told me to live; then she was gone. Do you think it means something?"

"Maybe. Who knows? Anyway, we better get moving."

"Um… Kratos, I'm kinda scared about scared about being alone again. I mean, I might not find a job and all…"

"Ok… I'll you have to do is go to the local tavern and ask for a job listing. I will even set you up with a job when we get there. It's not too far." Kratos spoke in a comforting voice.

"Alright. I trust you." Lyn smiled. They traveled there, and were surprised to find that they were a lot closer then they thought. They reached their destination within 20 minutes. It was not even close to noon.

"Lyn," started Kratos, "I'm going to have to find my new employer. Take a look around. I'll meet you back here at around sunset. The tavern should be open by then. If I can't get you a job, try heading back to Triet. Understood?"

"Yeah. Until then, good luck." Lyn said; Kratos ran off. Lyn looked around to see a boy her age in red with two swords in the corner of her eye. He walked into a building, so she could only see him from the back. "I wonder where he's going. Well, I've got nothing else to do." Lyn followed him. She heard laughter as she walked into the door, and peaked into the window, realizing it was a one room school.

"School?" she muttered, "I've never been. Sounds interesting though…" Lyn walked into the classroom, but no one noticed her. The boy had come in late and was forced to hold buckets. He had chocolate brown hair and seemed fairly nice, but the whole room laughed at him. He seemed as if he was used to it. He kind of reminds me of Kratos, but then again, Kratos is the only man I've really been with. It must be me. She thought.

"Oh, hello, who are you?" Asked a white haired woman in a loose Celtic orange cloak. It was obvious that she was the teacher.

"Um… I'm not from around here. I'm visiting."

"Really? Are you with anyone." She asked.

"Well, yes. I mean no. I was working as a guide, but my job is done now. I've never been to a school, so I was interested." She stuttered.

"She must have seen Lloyd walk in late." One boy snickered.

"Class, settle down. Miss, you can sit next to Collette if you want. I'm sure she wouldn't mind."

"I don't mind at all," said a blond girl who was shorter then me and seemed rather blunt.

"Thank you." Lyn said with a slight bow, pulling up a chair next to Collette.

"They kinda look similar." One girl muttered.

"Must be the hair and eyes. Otherwise they look nothing alike." Snickered another boy. The teacher, everyone called Professor Raine started teaching math. She handed out worksheets, and for some reason, Lyn knew the answers. Then the class moved on to Mythology. In the middle of the class, Professor Raine caught Lloyd sleeping in the back of the class. She threw an eraser at him.

"Oh, Professor Raine, is class over?" Lloyd asked.

"How do you manage to sleep standing? Raine asked.

"Practice!" smiled Lloyd. The Professor sighed and continued class until a wave of light appeared out of nowhere.

"That's the oracle." Said Collette. Raine told everyone to independently study and ran out. Lyn followed after her. After a moment, Lyn encountered several monsters, but Raine ran ahead passed them. She pulled out a dagger and her sword, and killed them. Afterwards, she noticed Collette, Lloyd, and another younger boy with white hair and wearing a Celtic blue suit staring at her.

"That was amazing!" said Collette.

"Yeah, she's probably using an exphere." Said Lloyd, looking away.

"An exphere? What's that?" Lyn asked.

"You mean you fought those things and you don't have one?" Lloyd said surprised.

"Well, I've never heard of them either." Said the boy.

"Wow, and I thought Genis knew everything I did. An exphere is a crystal that enhances your physical abilities to the fullest. You can get up to ten times stronger with them." Said Lloyd.

"So," said Lyn, "You're Lloyd, you're Collette, and you're Genis. Nice to meet you. I lost track of Raine. I want to find out about that light."

"Yeah!" said Collette. They all then ran to the Martel Temple. Upon reaching the steps, Lyn's head started to hurt.

"Hay guys, I'm going to wait here. I'm starting to get a headache." Lyn said.

"But don't you want to see what's going to happen to Collette?" Asked Lloyd slightly hurt.

"Well, don't worry. I'll be up as soon as my head feels better."

"Alright. If you say so." Said Genis, as they all headed off. Lyn sat there until suddenly, Kratos ran up the steps, giving Lyn a quick glare. Kratos? Lyn thought. I wonder what's going on. I remember him talking about the chosen, and I heard Raine mention that the chosen was Collette. They didn't want me to go with them, but then again, why not? Should I, or shouldn't I? Lyn asked herself. Lyn quickly ran up the steps after Kratos reached the top.

"Your name is Lloyd?" Kratos asked, thinking… Is it possible? It can't be my son, can it?

"Yeah, but who are you to ask for my name." asked Lloyd. Kratos was silent for a moment, thinking about Mira's words of his tragedy, and beautiful Anna with little Lloyd in her arms."

"I am Kratos, a mercenary. As long as you can pay me, I will take the job of guarding the chosen." said Kratos.

"I guess we have no choice." said an old woman at the door. When Lyn saw her, her headache slowly started to fade away. She watched, trying to keep a low profile. "We beg for your services. How much shall I pay you?" She asked.

"I charge 5,000 gald a month." He said, folding his arms and fixing his cold stare on her, "and an extra 1,000 for just saving her life."

That's robbery! Lyn thought.

"Done. It's a fair price." said the woman, "Though we will have to use church contributions to help pay it off. Lyn was shocked. 5000 a month with a bonus! That's crazy… But then again, he an amazing fighter, and is more skilled about the road then I am. In fact, I was hardly any help to him. I was just there… I even passed out and slowed him down. Lyn watched as they entered the Martel temple. Lyn sat on the first step, waiting for Lloyd and the others when the old lady walked over.

"Excuse me, but have I seen you before?" she asked.

"No, I'm new around here." Said Lyn.

"I thought so." The old woman smiled. "Collette is my granddaughter. She's rather a klutz, but she has a good heart."

"Really? I can see the resemblance."

"Yes. She is quite fond of Lloyd though. Lloyd is the most energetic fellow I've ever seen and quite a prankster too. He is great with the sword, but inside he is still a child. He was raised by a dwarf, you know, after his parents vanished and left him with his pet. He has quite an imagination and is laid back, but he sleeps in class and doesn't learn anything. I bet if he'd pay attention, he would be grow up and become a great man."

"Yeah. He seems to have an aura of bluntness around him, but when he knew something, he was able to explain in it well." Lyn said, thinking about what he said about expheres.

"Yes, quite so. Genis is his partner in crime. Though he acts innocent, he is just as bad as Lloyd. Genis reads and knows a lot, not near enough to compare to his sister Raine's knowledge, but enough to be recognized."

"Professor Raine's his sister?"

"Yes. I saw you walk into the school this morning as I was heading for the temple. I also saw you talking on your way up. Not bad for an old woman."

"Yeah…" Lyn sighed

"You should join them. I know you're curious. It won't hurt anyone to peek inside. It should be the first room in the center."

"Alright. I think I'll take your request." Lyn said walking in.

Meanwhile…

Kratos was holding in his frustration at Lloyd and Collette. If Lyn was here so this wouldn't be so bad. Damn Mithos. Damn Bet. This trip will seem longer then the 4,000 years it took to set it up! Kratos thought, still cursing under his breath. They had roamed around the temple and found the sorcerer's ring. Lloyd was amused for 10 seconds because it shot fire, but after we agreed to let him hold it, he completely lost interest.

They went back to the first floor and opened the door with the ring, and walked in to see the oracle. Right after they entered the room through the teleporter, Lyn came in and followed them, impressed by the teleportation.

"Cruxis blesses this even and will now bestow upon this land the tower of salvation." said the voice of a floating angel with gold hair in holy green garbs. I've got to get out of here. She suddenly thought, as a gust of wind flew around her, lifting her into the air. Her dress whipping at her legs, and her mind was twisting. "You!" said the angel, "What are you doing here?" he asked harshly.

The wind stopped, and Collette stuttered in fear. Lyn glanced to see a red ruby strapped around her neck by a gold facet with ruins carved into it. A sharp pain ran through Lyn's head. She grabbed it and backed herself into a wall. Words that weren't in her voice started spilling out of her mouth. "The chosen is just indeed… she will be no sacrifice for those already among the dead… Revelation shall strike!" Lyn voice came back briefly,

"No! Stop it! Please, someone stop it!! This pain!! This burning!! I can't take it!!" but the other voice returned,

"Endure for a moment longer… The chosen shall survive… You have failed from the… beginning…" Rainbow mana rushed out of Lyn's body like fluttering butterflies, and Lyn fell over passed out from exhaustion.
