Me: So sorry!

Light: …Lightwithinthedark hasn't been on due to being sick and her computer not working…

Me: The keyboard broke and we couldn't get a new one! -cries- Lloyd please do disclaimer…

Lloyd: Ok…Lightwithinthedark does not own Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the new world…she only owns her ocs and some artes…

Me: Now onto the story!

Light: One more thing! There is a brother sister moment in the chapter between Lloyd and me!

Chapter 6:

Light's pov.

I slowly opened my eyes to sunshine blinding me temporarily. A familiar face was standing over me looking worried and happy at the same time. It was my step-father.

"D-Dirk?" I asked weakly.

I was suddenly enveloped in a hug.

"I can't believe you're alive!" the dwarf cried happily.

I winced at his powerful hug.

"Can't breath!" I gasped.

I was immediately let go and I doubled over taking in as much air as I could. Finally I straightened up again. I was suddenly hit on the head.

"Owwie…," I whined holding my head.

"You've worried everyone! Where have you been?" Dirk asked glaring at me.

I shrunk away frightened.

"H-hold on! I was really dead!" I sighed. "I was given a second chance and how did I get here?"

I looked around the house. It was the same as when I was a kid.

"I don't know…I found you passed out outside the door…Oh yes this is for you…," Dirk handed me a small note. "I didn't look at it…"

I carefully opened the folded paper. Inside was Lloyd's hand writing scribbled everywhere. I sighed. It told me to go to our old clearing. I slowly stood up as Dirk watched curiously.

"I need to go…its good to see you again…dad…," I stated as I turned to leave.

I slipped into the forest without being noticed by anyone. I didn't want to be swarmed by the villagers just yet. I made my way over the old path Lloyd had made for me. I tripped once but that was it. Up ahead I could see the clearing. I quietly walked into it looking around. The bushes on the other side began to shake. Lloyd stepped out. I ran over to him and suddenly hugged him. He tumbled to the ground in shock. After it wore off he began to laugh softly.

"I missed these times…," he laughed grinning.

I slowly got up and pulled him up with me. He patted me on the head and ruffled my hair causing me to pout.

"Llooyd!" I whined pouting.

He chuckled. "I need to go now so wait here till Emil and the others come…see you around sis!"

He ran off into the forest again leaving me there. I waved as I watched him disappear. My hand dropped to my side once he was out of sight. I sighed and turned back towards the village. I didn't want to wait for Emil and everyone. What if they didn't come? I ran a hand through my hair worried. I shook my head.

"I have to get back…," I murmured.

As I began to walk back I heard voices. I turned in the direction they were coming from. Slowly I crept over to the sound. I peeked through some bushes seeing a young girl with short green hair. I blinked. She didn't look any older than 10. I walked out making my presence known. She looked up at me.

"H-hello?" She asked shrinking away.

I could clearly see the scratches and bruises that decorated her skin. She was crying terribly. I walked over and knelt down in front of her cooing softly.

"Its okay…I won't hurt you…," I told her slowly pulling her into a hug.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and began to calm down. I picked her up and began to walk back to the house. Her wounds needed to be cleaned before that got infected and I didn't have the mana to heal her at the moment.

The house came into view and the girl was fast asleep in my arms. Dirk was outside cutting word when he saw me. He dropped what he was holding and ran over.

"She was in the woods… She needs help…," I rushed through my words beginning to feel panic creep into my heart. "I couldn't heal her or I'd lose my form…"

Dirk only nodded and ushered me inside. He followed soon after and closed the door. I set the girl on my bed as Dirk began to examine her. Every once in a while he would mumble something to low that I couldn't hear it.

"Will she be okay?" I asked worried.

Dirk nodded. "She will but she needs rest…"

I sighed in relief. "Okay that's good…"

Dirk began to wrap her wounds.
