I know I've put in several video game elements in this that are just not necessary (but still fun). However I'm going to avoid to many video game gags (such as what I do in my Zelda crossover) because I want this to focus on the story. There will still be a few gags here and there but the one's I've put in this chapter will not become habit.

For the record I've decided that Harry is going to fight with a single sword, however his fighting style is going to be less like that of Kratos and Zelos. I'm going to base it entirely on Yuril Lowell's fighting style in the related video game: Tales of Vesperia. For those who have never played that game it has similarities to Emil's but is still unique (Yuri also punches), to those of you who have never played Dawn of the New World, well… can't help please enjoy. There will still be wand work in Harry's fighting style, he will just rotate between wand and sword.

There is more on this in the end note but for now please enjoy the chapter.

And review, don't forget to review, ask me if anything doesn't make sense (this is mainly directed at those of you who know nothing of Tales of Symphonia).


The Quest for Home

The Oracle

"Lloyd Irving wake up." Said Raine irritably. "Lloyd!" she raised her voice higher. When that didn't work she picked up the black board duster and threw it at him.

"OW!" said Lloyd waking up as the duster collided with his face, despite being told to stand at the back of the classroom holding two buckets of water, that Harry had guiltily filled up at the Professor's request, the older boy had still fallen asleep on is feet.

Approaching him Raine asked "How do you manage to sleep standing?"

"Ah… Professor Sage. I… is class over?" said Lloyd. He hadn't managed to comprehend a word she said.

"Never mind let's have someone else answer the question. Genis how about you?" said the Professor.

"Yes Raine." Said her faithful yet fearful little brother. "Mithos the Hero brought about the end of the war in the Holy Ground of Kharlan."

"Correct." Said Raine having reached the front of the classroom again. "Afterwards Mithos formed a pact with the Goddess Martel, to seal away the Desians whom caused the war.

"But the Desians came back and are now causing everyone to suffer." Blurted out Lloyd. Harry noted a distinct amount of bitterness coming from his voice.

"We covered that in class the last time, remember? When the seal weakens the Desians reappear, just like they have now."

Luna raised her hand.

"Yes Luna?" said Raine.

"Where is this seal?"

"The Holy Ground of Kharlan." Said Raine.

"If it is just there then why don't people guard it for when the Desians reappear?" said Luna.

Raine chuckled. "It is not as simple as preventing someone from walking through a door. According to historical accounts the Desians tend to arrive in Sylvarant using a mixture of methods. While it is true some march from the ruins of the Tower of Salvation that marks the Holy Ground, they have also been known to move materialise in all parts of the planet using Magi-Technology based transportation. Additionally when the Tower of Salvation disappears it explodes, devastating everyone and everything around it.

Luna nodded.

"Now Chosen One…" before Raine could ask Colette a question there was a blinding light that shone out from afar.

"Whoa!" said Lloyd "What is that?"

"That's… began Colette rising to her feat.

"Settle down." Said Raine to the class who were now all doing what is common place in schools across Planet Earth: looking out the window. "It would appear the time for the Oracle has come. I will go check on the Chapel. Wait here and study on your own."

"Professor." Said Colette "I'll go with you."

"No Colette." Said Raine firmly "If it really is the Oracle then the priests will come for you. Wait here with everyone else."

"Yes Mam." Said Colette.

As the Professor left, everyone moved to begin studying. But once she was gone there was a general consensus that everyone should just relax, something that would have greatly irritated Hermione, to say nothing of Raine.

"Lloyd where do you think you're going?" said Genis approaching his best friend. Lloyd had taken several steps towards the door as if preparing to leave.

"To see the Oracle, everyone's always talking about it but no one ever stops to tell us what actually happens." Said Lloyd curiously.

"But my sister told us to stay here and study." Said Genis.

"Ok fine." said Lloyd like a child who had just been told off.

"Honestly Lloyd it's not fun getting on the wrong side of Raine." Said Genis.

"I beg your pardon." Said Luna. "But could someone please explain why there is a Colette shaped hole in this wall."

"Oh… well…" stuttered Colette while most of the class sniggered.

"Oh that?" said Lloyd.

"That's from last year's spring cleaning." Said Genis. "Colette got a little clumsy and…"

"It was an accident." Said Colette.

Ginny caught Harry's eye. They had been in Sylvarant about a month now and they had come to discover that Colette was compulsive Klutz.

"Cho… Chosen One." Came a voice from the classroom door. Everyone turned in shock to see a man in church robes come in and collapse.

"Pastor." Cried out Colette. She, along with Lloyd and Genis ran over to him.

"The Desians attacked the temple." He whispered out

"But what about the treaty?" said Ginny; as she, Harry and Luna raced over to join their new friends. "I though the Desians had a treaty where they promised to leave the village alone."

"Yes Grandmother said it was to protect me." Said Colette.

"I don't know why but they chose to break the treaty and attacked us. Please Chosen One, hurry and receive the Oracle."

"Pastor." Said Colette desperately as his body began to relax.

"I… regret… that I was unable… to protect the… Chosen…"

"Pastor, please hang on." Said Colette desperately.

"It's no use." Said Luna "I'm very sorry."

"No." said Genis.

Everyone was deeply upset, but they moved the poor man's body aside and Colette turned to her friends, both old and new. "I'm going to go receive the Oracle now."

"Are you crazy?" said Ginny. "It's too dangerous."

"I'm the chosen, it's my duty." Said Colette.

"Screw your duty." Said Harry.

"Harry, this is important." Said Genis, shocked at his outburst.

"Genis it's fine." said Colette "Harry, people are suffering. Would you be able to sit by and do nothing?"

Harry growled "Well I'm coming with you, you've never been in a fight before right? A real one?"

"You have?" said Lloyd.

"A few." Said Harry "Last year I killed someone with my bare hands."

"That wasn't your fault." Said Luna.

"Maybe but I still did it." Said Harry. "You coming Lloyd?"

"Oh course." He said, that was never in doubt.

"I'm coming to, I'm worried about Raine." Said Genis.

"I'll come as well." Said Ginny "You'll need all the wands you can get."

"I agree with Ginerva." Said Luna "I'll come as well."

"Are you all sure, it could be dangerous." Said Colette.

"There's doubt?" said Harry sarcastically "Seriously, I know when I'm heading into a dangerous situation. Most of the time." Thoughts of a flying Ford Anglia sprung to mind.

The six of them left the School House and found that the entire village was deserted.

"Where is everyone?" said Lloyd.

"Colette!" called a man's voice.

Everyone turned to see Colette's blond-haired father walking towards them.

"Frank?" said Lloyd.

"Frank is it true? Have the Desians attacked the village?"

"Yes. None of the villagers were hurt though they passed straight through the village and went straight for the Temple."

"The Temple?" said Colette "But Grandma is at the Temple."

"I'm sure she'll be alright, the priests will look after her. Now Colette you must head over there. I suggest the rest of you head on home or wait at the school."

"But we can't let Colette go on alone." Said Lloyd "We'll go with her."

"But… Fine, but be careful." Said Frank. "Good luck Colette."

"Thank you father."

"Alright let's go." Said Harry. "Where is this temple?"

"It's just North of the Village." Said Lloyd. "Along that path there."

The Sylvaranti lead the Earthlings to the path but they hadn't set a foot out of the village when…

"Monster!" said Ginny.

Harry pulled out his wand and incanted "Flipendo!" Red sparks shot out and hit the zombie in the gut.

"Fire Ball!" Genis' attack was much more powerful and the monster was knocked off guard.

Lloyd charged at it and struck the Zombie through the heart with his wooden swords.

"Phew! Nice job Lloyd." Said Genis.

"How on Earth did you move so fast?" said Ginny.

"It's thanks to this." Said Lloyd showing everyone his exsphere. Harry and the others had seen it already but this was the first time they'd seen Lloyd use it in combat.

"Hey there is another one incoming." Said Genis.

"Make that two!" Said Harry.

"I'll take em." Said Lloyd keenly.

"Wait Lloyd." Said Colette. "The Professor said that magical attacks are more effective than physical attacks against spiritual monsters."

"She did?" said Lloyd.

"No idea." Said Ginny.

"She did." Said Genis.

"Right, in that case I'll go for the Zombie. Colette, Harry back me up, the rest of you take that ghost."

Harry fired off some more red sparks while Lloyd and Colette pummelled the creature with their weapons. It was down within seconds. Then Genis, Luna and Ginny cast a series of spells that killed the ghost.

"Cool our first battle together." Said Lloyd.

"From the sounds of things there's going to be more of a battle up ahead." Said Harry.

"Yeah. Let's go kick some Desian butt." Said Lloyd with enthusiasm.

ORACLE2PHOENIX

Evidentially more monsters must have escaped from the temple, because the costal route between the temple and Iselia was filled with them and Lloyd, Harry and the others had to fight seven different battles before they reached the temple.

"It sounds like there is a lot of commotion coming from the temple." Said Luna with a grave voice.

"Wow that's a really bright light." Said Genis.

"It sounds like these Desian guys are really causing chaos us there. Maybe we should get going." Said Ginny.

The others all agreed and ran up the steps.

ORACLE2PHOENIX

Phaidra Brunel was not by nature a fearless woman. She was very afraid for her own life. But at the same time she was content. She was proud of her granddaughter and her son, she had dedicated her life to serving the Goddess Martel and she took comfort in everything she had achieved. She was scared but she did not beg these savage murders for life.

As the largest of the Desians approached, his men following behind, he asked "Where is the Chosen."

Phaidra took a step back. But then to her surprise Colette, along with friends both new and old reached the top of the steps.

"Run Colette." She called feebly.

One of the Desians turned to see the group ascend the stairs "Lord Botta there she is." He said.

The large one, Botta, turned to look at the kids that had entered the scene "Chosen One, your life is mine."

These people had slaughtered the priests that looked after the temple, Lloyd was furious. He pulled out one of his wooden swords. "I won't let you Desians get away with anything."

"Desians? Hahaha!" Said one of them.

"What's so funny?" said Genis.

"Well then die at the hand of the…"

"Expelliamus!" shouted Harry. It was probably there senseless and murderous nature but Harry found himself enraged at them, because they dared to laugh after everything they just did, everyone they just killed.

As Harry's charm hit the Desian, his sword flew into the air and Harry, charging at him used his seeker catching skills, successfully grabbed the hilt of the sword while it was in mid-air and used the blade to stab the Desian in the gut. This got his friends reacting.

Not wanting to let Harry get in the thick of it alone, Lloyd pulled out his other sword and attacked the nearest Desian. Colette threw her Chakrums and behind her Genis, Luna and Ginny fired off their own spells. Lloyd and Harry managed to kill three soldiers between them and the others had managed to disable four others before the rest retreated as a larger soldier approach.

A Vidarr warrior was one of the most formidable opponents in the Desian ranks. They had very little in terms of Magic Artes but they more than made up for it in brute strength and large weapons.

"Do not get in our way." He said authoritatively. The Vidarr swung his mace at Lloyd.

"OW!" cried Lloyd as he got knocked back.

"Flipendo!" incanted Harry. But his sparks barely singed the guy and he proceeded to attack the Boy-Who-Lived. Harry managed to avoid the swing of the man's hammer but barely.

"Fire Ball!" incanted Genis.

This too barely singed the super soldier, but it caused the man to flinch a little and Harry used that opening to stab him with the sword. Breaking the Vidarr's guard he followed up with a few more swings that were reinforced by Colette throwing her Chakrums and Lloyds wooden swords.

"Damn it!" grunted the guard. He swung his mace and knocked the three of them back, only to face Genis' fire balls and Luna and Ginny's Flipendo Jinxes.

Harry silently cursed not knowing a more advanced spell, given that he had been up against both Quirrell and a Basilisk, one would think that a bit more research into Defence spells would have been a good idea. Harry silently vowed to salvage Defence texts from the train carriage at first opportunity.

The Vidarr took another swing with his hammer but Harry managed to block the attack.

"Try and synchronize your magic." Shout Harry over his shoulder. He took several more swings at the Vidarr which kept him off balance.

"Flipendo!" Incanted Luna

"Fire Ball!" Incanted Genis

"Flipendo!" Incanted Ginny.

The three spells impacted the Vidarr and Harry could tell he was extremely hurt, so took a page out of his cousin's book and hit the warrior when he was down. Harry's frantic slashes drew blood and he then trained his wand on the wounds.

"Flipendo!" he incanted at point blank range. The red spark singed the sensitive tissue and the Vidarr screamed in agony.

"Ray Thrust!" shouted Colette throwing her Chakrums.

They thumped the soldier on his head sending him into daze. His mouth hung open and Lloyd took advantage of that opening and with a well-aimed thrust stabbed the Vidarr in the mouth. They were only wooden swords but they did the trick. The Vidarr was dead.

Botta moved in front of his other men. "It seems we have some fighters here, perhaps…"

But he was distracted by the sudden appearance of a swordsman coated in dark blue.

"I never thought you'd show up. Damn. Retreat for now." Botta lead the Desians in a retreat.

The six kids and Phaidra looked to the man who had just shown up.

"Huh? We do all the fighting and you just show up and scare away the bad guys." Said Ginny.

The man turned to the little red-haired girl. "You all seemed to be handling the situation quite well. But that Desian is much more skilled than you are at combat and he is not someone to be trifled with." Said the man.

"Of course." Said Lloyd. "Colette here is the Chosen, we have to protect her."

"I see, so this girl is to become the next chosen." Said the man.

"Oh that's right. Grandmother. I'm ready to undergo the trial now."

"What trial?" said Ginny frowning.

"The monsters I would assume." Said the man "An evil presence radiates from this chapel."

"Yes." Said Phaidra "The Chosen is to receive judgment from heaven, but the priest who were to accompany her fell at the hands of the Desians."

"Why does Colette need a trial?" said Harry, he himself was always unhappy about having to go through trials.

"That is the way things are." Said Colette. "It's ok Harry, really. I trust Martel."

Harry grumbled. He was not convinced by any religion on Earth and was no more cosy about one on another planet. To Ginny and Luna it was an even bigger anomaly, the only religions ever mentioned in the Wizarding World were those that preached the extermination of Witches and Wizards. The only thing the so called Church of Martel had going for it was that there was clearly magic involved in this process and while there was superstition there was also clear evidence of a presence of this Cruxis that the Church supported.

"Well Colette can't go alone, I'll go with her." Said Lloyd.

"Lloyd, I would be uneasy with just you." Said Phaidra

The red haired man in blue seemed shocked by something Phaidra said "Your name… is Lloyd?"

"Yeah. But who are you to ask for my name?" said Lloyd.

"Do you know him?" Luna asked Kratos.

"I do not believe we've met." Said the man. "I am Kratos, a mercenary. So long as you can pay me, I'll accept the job of guarding the Chosen."

"Under the circumstances I have little choice, please be of assistance. Lloyd, Harry could you go along as well?"

"Of course." Said Lloyd.

"Sure." Said Harry.

"No." said Kratos "The two of you will just be a burden, go home."

Before Lloyd could blow his head off at Kratos, Harry got there first "I have no home, these people have given me and my friends food and shelter for the past month, so I owe them at least this. Also need I point out, out of all of us here, you're the only one who hasn't actually fought today. You did scare that weird leader of theirs off so I'll give you a chance to prove yourself. But don't go telling us what to do."

Everyone was stunned silent by that speech. Strangely it was Ginny who broke the silence.

"I'm your friend?" she said.

"Wow you have a really bad crush." Said Genis teasingly.

Ginny blushed.

"Are you all done behaving childishly?" said Kratos.

"Face it, we know how to fight." Said Lloyd "We fought enough monsters just to get here and the fact that we beat that great big fat guy has got to count in our favour."

Kratos seemed hugely troubled "Do as you wish then." He said and walked into the Temple.

"It's nice to know you care about our wellbeing." Said Luna.

"What?" said Kratos in perplexion.

"It's written all over your face… you care." said Luna.

"Don't try and deny it." Said Ginny "Luna is very good at reading people."

"Alright this is going to be so cool." Said Lloyd.

ORACLE2PHOENIX

"So this is what the inside of the temple looks like." said Lloyd.

"Colette, you've been here many times right?" said Genis.

"Yeah but it seems different than usual." Said Colette.

"I sense the presence of monsters, don't let your guard down." Said Kratos.

"We won't." said Harry before Lloyd could jump in.

"By the way Lloyd… Harry." Said Kratos "Are your swords skills self-taught?"

"Yeah, that's right." Said Lloyd.

"This is only the second time I've used a sword in combat." Said Harry. "Normally I use this." He held up his wand."

Kratos turned to Ginny and Luna "And you two?"

"I've never fought before today." Said Luna "But I too use a wand."

"What she said." Mumbled Ginny.

Kratos reached into his robes and handed a manual to Lloyd.

"What's this thing?" Said Lloyd.

"If you're going to use a sword, then at least learn the basics. You want to protect the Chosen don't you? I'm afraid I only have one copy Harry so you'll have to share."

"That's ok I'm a wizard." Said Harry pointing his wand at the manual. "Gemino!"

The manual duplicated itself into two copies.

"Harry when did you learn that?" said Ginny.

"I found some books on the carriage, I've been trying to find more spells that can help us help the villagers. I learnt this in the hopes of being able to duplicate some food." Said Harry.

"That's against Gamp's First Law of Transfiguration." Said Luna.

"Well I know that now." Said Harry. "Point is I've been reading up on magic that could help us, the two of you should as well."

"You know the longer we stand here doing nothing the more it's going to cost you in my time." Said Kratos.

"You have to prove yourself first." Said Ginny.

"Excuse me?" said Kratos looking at the girl in amusement.

"No offence Mr Kratos, but we've yet to see what you're capable of." She smiled.

"Heh. You won't if you just stand around here. Come on."

The party walked up the stairs only to find the door to the inner section of the temple blocked by a force field.

"How're we supposed to get through?" said Lloyd.

Harry raised his wand "Alohamora!"

Nothing happened.

"I'm beginning to wonder if that'll ever work." Grumbled Harry.

"This isn't a normal lock Harry." Said Luna.

"The Sorcerers Ring should be able to open this." Said Colette.

"What's the Sorcerers Ring?" asked Lloyd.

"It's an artefact of the Church of Martel." Said Genis "It should be somewhere here in the temple."

"Where though." Said Ginny.

"Umm… I don't know, sorry." Said Colette.

"Alright we'll look for it, man." Whined Lloyd.

"I share your frustrations." Said Harry walking beside the older boy.

"Oh yeah?" said Lloyd.

"Uh huh. It took me all year to figure out what creature was attacking our school and it took months and months of research and speculation to figure out that the school was hiding a Philosophers Stone." Said Harry "Unfortunately in these type of situations, patients is a virtue."

"Well I prefer beating stuff up to just looking around for a random thing." Said Lloyd.

"Well it looks like you'll get the chance." Said Harry pointing his wand at the conundrum of monsters before him.

"Now that's more like it." Said Lloyd happily drawing his swords.

"After you." Said Harry.

Both boys charged forward.

"Demon Fang!" shouted Lloyd.

"Expelliamus!" shouted Harry.

Harry and Lloyd each took down a monster quickly before Colette, Genis, Luna and Ginny could think much about helping out…

"Hey what happened to the others?" said Lloyd looking at the dead monsters before him that two seconds ago were alive.

Harry saw Kratos standing at the far end of the corridor with his sword outstretched and coated in monster blood.

"Wow." Said Harry "Ok now I'll admit you're good."

"Yeah I suppose he's alright." Said Lloyd.

"Amazing." Said Colette. "It must have taken you many years to pick up skills like that."

"I have been doing this for some time." Said Kratos. "Probably longer than most people."

"That must be a difficult life." Said Luna.

"It certainly isn't for the fainthearted. You can all feel free to leave the Chosen with me should you choose. It will not affect your bill, this is after all not something one would expect from children your age."

"But Colette is younger than Lloyd and she has to go." Said Ginny. "Besides which, even if you are a good fighter, we don't know you. It's not fair to leave Colette alone with a stranger."

"It's not fair Colette is being forced to do this anyway." Growled Harry. "Can I actually ask, why is it that the fate of the world is being forced onto a sixteen-year-old girl."

"Harry its ok, I don't mind." Said Colette.

"But what if you did mind?" said Luna "What if you wanted to dedicate your life to something else and the requirements of being the Chosen One interfered with it?"

"Why does it have to be you?" said Harry. "Why can't they make an adult go through this. Someone like Kratos here, who is used to fighting."

"The Chosen One is selected by the Angels of Cruxis themselves." Said Genis. "In doing so our world shall be saved. That is the way things work, to challenge that, to challenge salvation would doom this world."

"I cannot allow this to happen." Said Colette. "It's ok Harry, really it is."

Harry growled. He did not like the sound of this whole Chosen One thing. It sounded a lot like being the Boy-Who-Lived, everyone expects the best from you and your actions are constantly open to scrutiny. Harry was never asked if he wanted to be the Boy-Who-Lived and Colette was never asked if she wanted to be the Chosen of Mana.

"Perhaps we should move on." Said Kratos. "Be careful, there will be more monsters in the inner areas of the temple."

The group descended the stairs that led to the basement area.

"It's really dark down here." Said Ginny.

"It's only to be expected." Said Harry, "This place obviously never sees much sunlight, think Professor Snape's Dungeon."

"Dungeon?" said Kratos.

"Our school back before we came here." Said Harry. "Potions Class was in the Dungeon."

"Where you came from?" said Kratos.

"We'll explain later." Said Genis. "Let's just finish up here first."

"Is that the Sorcerers Ring." Said Lloyd. Looking out into the distance.

"I would assume so." Said Kratos.

"How are we supposed to get to it?" said Harry.

"Hey what do you suppose this is?" asked Colette. Drawing everyone's attention to…

"Watch out." Said Kratos urgently running at the Golem Colette found and immediately engaged it in combat. He gave it three several hard swipes while Harry fired off as many Flipendo Charms as he could and Genis as many Fireballs.

"Take this." Said Genis. "Wind Blade!"

A small ball of wind formed around the Golem and slashed at its body, killing it. As the Golem was defeated, it transformed into a large cube.

"It turned into a rock?" said Lloyd.

"It was kinda a rock to begin with." Said Genis.

"But it stopped moving." Said Ginny.

"Oops." Said Colette tripping over and pushing the block down a square shaped hole. It landed in a gap between platforms on the lower down floor. It soon became apparent that they had to drop more blocks into the gaps between the platforms to reach the Sorcerers ring. The Golem reappeared a few seconds later, and after that block had been dropped a third Golem appeared. This process was continuous, but eventually the group managed to create a path to the Sorcerers Ring, and got significantly experienced in fighting monsters.

ORACLE2PHOENIX

"This thing is so cool." Said Lloyd. As he constantly used the Sorcerers Ring to send out small bolts of fire.

"You are such a kid." Said Genis.

"There is nothing wrong with a little light-hearted fun." Said Luna.

"Ooh! Luna and Lloyd sitting in a tree…"

"I don't see a tree anywhere?" said Luna. "Are you feeling alright Genis?"

"Luna doesn't have a concept of sarcasm." Said Ginny. "Also if she fancies someone she'll openly admit to it when asked."

"That is true." Said Luna. "Though I must confess my attraction to Myron Wagtail has disappeared."

"If you are all finished, then perhaps we can try opening this door." Said Kratos as they reached the door to the upper level.

Lloyd fired the Sorcerer's Ring through energy barrier and hit the seal. The barrier dissipated and the door opened.

"What the?" said Harry. "That's technology. Is this Magi-Technology?"

"Yes." Said Genis. "This is a device known as a warp portal, it allows for instant transportation between two points."

"Kind of like the Floo network?" said Ginny.

"No the Floo network is done through magical fireplaces and can go to more than one other destination." Said Luna.

"Let's just go." Said Kratos.

"In a hurry are we?" Said Harry.

"Heh. If you want to stand around talking fine by me but it will add to your bill." Said Kratos.

Harry smiled but inside he was suspicious. Something was off about Kratos, Harry didn't know what, but he was clearly hiding something. Then again, Harry was hiding plenty about his past.

ORACLE2PHOENIX

"Well that was distinctly more comfortable than Floo or Apparation." Said Ginny.

"Or Portkeys." Said Luna.

"I don't see why we can't just have a set of stairs." Said Harry.

"This is a sacred area." Said Colette. "When Cruxis call for the Chosen of Mana, they activate the warp portal and draw the Chosen to the Oracle."

"Oh right." Said Harry.

"This appears to be the top floor." Said Kratos.

"Then that must be the Cruxis Crystal." Said Lloyd. Looking at a pink and glowing crystal jewel.

"Yup." Said Colette. "They say I was born with that in my hand."

Suddenly Genis' gaze was drawn to the ceiling. "Look at that light."

The source of the light that had been seen from the Iselia schoolhouse flashed at the presence of the party, a figure with a human body and great big white wings materialized from it. The being was clothed in green and blue robes with a matching hat. To Harry's mind he looked a bit like a cardinal one would see in Earth Christian Religions. Only with wings.

"What… What is that." Said Lloyd.

Harry kept his wand in his hand, although he didn't point it. Enough things had attacked them inside the temple and on the path leading from the village.

"An angel I would assume." Said Kratos.

"So is that Colette's real father?" said Genis.

"I am Remiel." Said the Angel, as Colette moved closer to the Cruxis Crystal. "I am an angel of Judgement. I am here to guide Colette, daughter of the Mana Lineage on her journey to Heaven as the Seventh Chosen."

Remiel descended to a lower level of height. As he was doing so, the Cruxis Crystal rose off from the floor and floated in the air.

"The time has come to awaken the Goddess Martel, who sleeps at the centre of the world."

"Awaken the Goddess Martel…" said Genis "It's just like the legend Raine told us about."

Suddenly the Cruxis Crystal floated towards Colette and seemed to weld itself onto her skin. The jewel became encrusted in a golden necklet that did not look like it could easily be removed.

"From this moment, Colette becomes the Chosen of Regeneration." "Said Remiel "We of Cruxis bless this event and herby bestow the Tower of Salvation upon Sylvarant."


I want Harry, Ginny and Luna to utilise artes from the tales games, including mystic artes. Harry's are going to be entirely on Yuri Lowell's so that's not an issue but I need ideas for what weapons and mystic artes to give Ginny and Luna, so please give me ideas. I don't want it to an mystic arte used by a Symphonia character, because I want them all to have different ones. The Mystic Arte can be from any Tales game, the only rules are it has to look cool and it has to have a cool incantation. I am thinking of having Rita Mordio's Mystic Arte: Ancient catastrophe but I'm not sure which character will get it.

Please review, also feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the Symphonia world.
