After a long argument with Genis, him being a teacher's/sister's pet not letting us go to the Temple where the light was we finally got out of the school house, where we met Frank and he talked to us.

Then we got into a battle after he left. I was against the zombie creature. He went first, and tried to hit me, but I barley dodged and went to slash the back of him, but he predicated it and hit me with full force to the ground with his arm. I pushed my self up by having all my wait on to my hands and flipped my self up. (Thanks to my sister who showed me how to do it) I took the zombie by surprise and I shouted ''Demon fang!'' and let out bright light and it meet the zombie with a thump, the zombie fell to the ground and I finally defeated it.

The rest of the group was finished with the ghost at the same time. Why did they leave me alone with a monster while they had 3 on 1? I thought.

''You're a good fighter, Erin!'' Genis informed me.

''Thanks but it's mostly due to the power of my exsphere,'' I explained. My techniques were crap, well because, I didn't know any.
I never liked Genis in the game. He was too much like Mithos, out of all of them he would most likely turn out like Mithos, but now I'm warming up to the little boy.

''Alright, come on lets hurry to the Temple, I wanna see the Oracle!'' Lloyd said enthusiastically. Genis and I both sighed and followed him and Colette, who ran on ahead.

So we got to the temple watching the priest die right before my eyes. I felt my stomach churning, so I tried my best to keep the vomit down. After that we ran into Botta. ''Where is the Chosen?'' he asked Phaidra. He didn't even seem to notice us until Phaidra called to Colette,

''Run, Colette!''

''Lord Botta, there she is!'' A 'desain' ran up to their commander and pointed at Colette.

So there was some arguing and name calling and we got down to fight a couple of 'Desians', I sighed. Stupid people giving up their life to help some organization that has way that will never happen to save the worlds. I thought to myself.

We all engaged into the fight, and it was a tiring fight. There was blood spewing all around the battle field, either ours or the so called Desians.

After a treacherous fight of me getting a wounded arm, Lloyd using up most of the energy he had, Genis patting like a dog after running around for a half an hour and Colette having gash on her shoulder, the 'Desains' fell and big man with big mace thingamajig decided to come along and revenge his former fellow 'Desains,' I hate him, if you haven't noticed!!

''Do not get our way!'' he said. Oh I will get in your way you asshole! I'll kick your ass before you even start! So I really hate him for some reason.

I was first for an attack, when he decided to shove his big mace right in front of me and had taken me to the ground. So I got right up trying to attack him again and ignoring the pain, while Colette and Lloyd was detracting it... I mean him, yeah him! But it didn't turn out to well. He had been able to spin the mace around at everyone of us and we all had fallen back. He was about to attack us again.

Yep, Kratos you can come any minute now, any minute. Kratos will you hurry up and come already, he is ready to kill your son and his friends and me! Hurry up! His mace is coming right at me, hurry the hell up!

I actually felt the wind rush past me. I looked up and saw Kratos right in front of me. ''About time you got here!! I was wondering where you were!'' I shouted.

''Who are you?'' Lloyd asked.

''Quick! Get out of the way!'' He said firmly. I nodded and everyone else stepped back and got ready to attack agan. Lloyd and I ran in to help, while Colette was running behind us and Genis was beginning to cast fireball again.

With Kratos doing the most work, we defeated him after a minute.

Kratos turned to us. ''No-one seems to be hurt. Good.'' he said after inspecting us. I waved my hand.

''Ah.. Kratos my arm is still in pain. Could you heal it?'' I asked. He nodded and casted first aid. ''Thanks.'' I said after he healed it. Lloyd looked at us. ''You know each other?''

I nodded, ''Yep, he saved me from the ranch!''

''Oh! Eh... thanks, I guess,'' Lloyd looked annoyed. I wonder what happened to the part where Genis and Colette praise Kratos, this most happen instead then.

''How can I ever thank you for saving the Chosen?'' Phaidra asked.

''...I see. So this girl is the next Chosen,'' Kratos said.

''That's right! I have to go accept the oracle! Grandmother, I'm going to undergo the trial now,'' Colette enthusiastically said.

''What trial?'' Lloyd asks

''The monsters, I assume. An evil presence radiates from inside this chapel,'' Kratos said.

''Yes, that is correct. The Chosen is to receive judgment from the priests that were to accompany her fell at the hands of the Desians,'' Phaidra informed us.

''Then I'll take the job on protecting Colette!,'' Lloyd said.

''Lloyd? I would be uneasy with just you,'' Phaidra said. In other words you're not strong enough! Sorry I just thought that sounded cheeky.

Kratos realized Lloyd's name. ''... Your name is Lloyd?'' He asked. Lloyd turned to Kratos.

''Yeah, but who are you to ask for my name?!'' Lloyd asked sounding arrogant.

''I am Kratos, a mercenary. As long as you can pay me, I''ll accept the job of guarding the Chosen.'' He turned to Phaidra.

''...Under the circumstances, I have little choice. Please be of service.'' She said.

''It's a deal then. Come, Erin. If you are going to come with me, then I suggest you get used to these battles and trails,'' he told me and I nodded.

''W... wait I'm going, too!'' Lloyd informed us. But Kratos just look irritated.

''Lloyd, you'll only get in way. Be a good boy and wait here,'' Kratos demanded. Lloyd gave me a pleading look, I sighed.

''There's no point trying to make him stay, he'll probably just follow us, anyway,'' I said.

''Exactly, so if you don't let me come, I'll just follow you on my own,'' he added.

''Heh. You're a stubborn kid. Fine do as you wish.''

''I'll do that. Let's go, Genis!'' Lloyd called over to Genis.

''I was thinking you were going to say that,'' Genis explained.

''Of course!'' Lloyd grinned.

''This isn't a field trip you know,'' Kratos said as we were walking to the door.

I was about follow Kratos in when, I felt something on my shoulder. I turned around to see Lloyd with his hand on my shoulder. He smiled. ''Thanks, for helping me join,'' The red clothed boy told me. I smiled back.

''You probably would follow us, anyway,'' I said.

''I would've, but thanks anyway!''

''You're welcome!'' I said and we continued to walk in.

We went into the temple. It was really cool. The walls had carvings on them of angels and Martel as a goddess and also of Mithos, but the Mithos on the wall only seemed to have only the slightest bit of his appearance similar to Mithos as Yggdrasil. He must of made the people think Mithos The 'Hero' was in his twenties when they made the treaty for the two opposing sides. Other than the wall or the door up ahead it looked kind of bare.

''So this is what the inside of the temple looks like!'' Lloyd said enthusiastically. I placed my hand on the wall.

''Yeah, these carvings on the walls they're amazing!'' I said rubbing my hand over the wall.

''Colette you've been here many times, before. Right?'' Genis asked as he turned to Colette.

''Yeah, but it feels different here, now,'' she answered.

''Probably because of all the monsters, an evil prescience radiates in this chapel. Be on your guard,'' Kratos explained.

''We can handle a few measly monsters,'' Lloyd told him.

''Lloyd... Is your sword skills self taught?''

''Yeah, that's right'' Kratos handed over Lloyd the training manual. ''What is this thing?''

''If you are going to use a sword, then I least learn the basics. You want to protect the Chosen don't you? Kratos asked ''And Erin you read this as well,'' he told me. I nodded.

''Humph, you think you know so much!'' Lloyd said. I turned to him.

''Ah... Lloyd, by the time I've known him, he's to be pretty knowledgeable,'' I said. Lloyd sighed and we continued on ahead.

We got the sorceress ring afterwards much fighting between Lloyd and I who should use it. But after a minute I gave in and gave it to him. He needed to use it when the renegades kidnap him. After that we went to the warp stone thingamajig.

''I've never actually went in one of these before,'' I said while Genis, Kratos and Colette went in.

''Don't worry! You'll feel a bit nauseas, afterwards, though,'' Lloyd reassured me and thanked him and we went to the warp panel.

When we went in, we were actually a wee bit late. We came in when Remiel was coming down and we got irritated looks from Kratos and Genis. Any way on another note, I wanna say what I think about Remiel. Okay, that stupid power hungry, aggravating, feathered asshole should rot in hell while being chased a barber with a plucker planing on plucking his wings and anything else that could be plucked if you know what I mean. So he feels like what it really means to be in eternal damnation. Ahh... I finally got that off my chest. Oh shit, while I was rambling on the Tower of Salvation appeared and Remiel left, oh well never really liked that odd fellow, anyway.

''Ah... Erin! Will you snap out of it?'' I realized Lloyd looking at me.

''Uh... oh sorry, Lloyd. Spaced out a bit,'' I apologized. Everyone was ready to leave and they would've sweat dropped if they could.

''Come, Erin. I need to speak to you. And we'll take the Chosen back to her house,'' Kratos said and I nodded and followed Colette and him out.

When we were out we talked to Colette's family with the interruption of Genis and Lloyd. After Kratos and I left and we went outside the forest to see what he wanted to talk to me about.

''What is it that you want to talk to me about?'' I asked.

''Tell me, where are you from?.'' he asked. I supposed it would be better to tell someone.

''I'm not from Sylvarant, I'm from Earth. I don't know how I came here but someone thought it would be joke to make me live through the same thing you did. I know what is going to happen, I know who everyone is, including you, Your story is told in my world but it is suppose to be fictional,'' I explained.

The next thing I know I'm being glared at. And it was a traumatizing glare. ''You dare tell anyone about me and I'll make you wish you were back at the ranch,'' Kratos said firmly.

''I'm not! I would never try to disrupted the story! Even the things I wish to change, I wouldn't,'' I quickly said.

''Make sure you don't! But now I know why Yggdrasil is after you,'' he said.

''What? Why is he?'' I asked.

''There is a legend about your world. If someone from there comes here then who ever that is has amazing power,'' he told me.

''But he has the Eternal Sword, the power over time and space. What kind of power would I have to make him threatened?''

''It is the power that was made to rival the Eternal Sword. The only known -to him- way to defeat him,''

''W... wait! I have the power to defeat Mithos! But, I haven't seen this power, let alone use it, how could I have such a power?'' I asked.

''Your power was dormant on your planet, but now that you're here once you become stronger your dormant power should be less dormant and finally be released and you will be able to control it,'' he told me.

''Okay, for now I don't have to worry about it?'' Kratos nodded. ''Good.''

''It's best not to tell anyone about you or your power,'' he said.

''Fine, I need to go for a walk it's a lot of information to take in. See you, Kratos,'' I said. He nodded and walked away. ''And Kratos,'' he looked at me. ''Thanks.''

''Just don't tell anyone about me,'' he said and walked off. So I went on my walk into the forest.

Me: I got the photo!

Cameron Irving: You did? Great!! Can I have it?

Me: Sure! You're going now anyway.

Cameron Irving: Thanks!

Lloyd: Hey! Oh, why is she here? Who is she?

Me: You are only asking that now! She is the authoress of It all started in High School. I love that story, read it!

Lloyd: Uh... sorry, I was annoyed with you stealing my photo! Wha... she is walking off with it!

Cameron: What are you talking about?

Lloyd: But I thought I saw... uh I'm going mad!

Cameron and Me: (Snickers.)

Cameron: I have to go now.

Me: Oh! One more thing!

Cameron: Review please!

Me: Thanks, bye!

Cameron: Bye, Lloyd!

Lloyd: Huh... oh, Bye! (Cameron Irving walks off)

Me: You know, if you feel something for her is probably because in her story her OC and you like each other!

Lloyd: (Continues to look at Cameron Irving walking away)

Me: (Sigh)
