With the flamberge clutched in his right hand, and the Vorpal in his left, Lloyd executed strike after strike, moving with ease, perfecting the technique that he had been taught multiple times. He paused, those crimson eyes still staring down at him. He looked up to meet his father's gaze, and to his surprise, he was congratulated with a slight smile and a small chuckle. Lloyd then returned the compliment with a big, cheesy grin.

"Lloyd! Lloyd, wake up!" Lloyd reluctantly opened his eyes, ever so slightly, to reveal a sapphire-haired half-elf hovering over him. "Yuan...?" He muttered, still in a daze.

As he struggled to regain his full consciousness, he noticed that his body had become completely numb, as if he were asleep for past two millennia. (Hypothetically of course) He blinked a few times before breaking out of his trance. "Yuan...where are we?" He sat up to get a better look at his surroundings, but immediately regretted the action as a pain shot through his chest. He winced at the painful sensation and clamped his eyes shut.

"Are you alright, Lloyd?"

He nodded.

As soon as the pain subsided, when he even dared to open eyes, he noticed the mighty tree, Yggdrasill standing tall, firm, and ever so grand. Yggdrasill? He wondered.

"Yuan...what happened?" He scanned the area further, and noticed the presence, or rather absence, of the purple-clad Seraph. "Where's dad?"

Not knowing what or how to tell Lloyd what happened to him and his father, Yuan simply smiled and offered Lloyd a hand.

"Can you stand?" He asked.

Lloyd shook his head. "Yuan, tell me where dad is!"

Yuan turned towards the tree and paused for a moment before turning back to Lloyd; trying to think of a way to explain Lloyd's rather...unique situation. "Do you remember the war?" He asked.

Lloyd nodded.

"What's the last thing you remember?"

"Well..." He said trying to gather his thoughts. "It was December second...It was the end of a three-day peace treaty between Fenrir and Odin...so, they were preparing for war..." He paused.

"It was also the day when the comet Samier was supposed to strike Thor." Yuan continued.

"But the research lab said it was supposed to barely miss the planet, right?"

"That is correct."

"I remember that the only way to end the war, was to destroy the three kingdoms...so, we were also preparing for battle..."

Yuan nodded

"The last thing I remember, was that I was on Thor...I remember watching a big ball of fire heading our way... and then pain...and...blackness...and then..." Lloyd subconsciously reached to touch the area where he felt the sharp pain before.

He turned to look at Yuan.

Yuan shook his head and then spoke "That event happened over 2000 years ago..." He paused. "Before the commet hit, you were caught in a suprise attack that was ment for the president of Thor... You were stabbed several times in the heart. Kratos tried to save you... But the commet hit while you two were still on Thor... you both were killed in the blast." There was a hint of sadness in his voice.

"W-what? Killed? That can't be! Then why am I here?"

"To be honest, I don't quite know, Lloyd..."

"Why isn't dad with me?"

"Lloyd....Come with me...I'll take you back to the base..."
