Me: Sorry for posting this late. The document manager wasn't working yesterday so I couldn't post this. Unfortunately, I have no one here to help me right now. Everyone was busy, even the characters for Dawn of The New World! Anyways, thank all that have reviewed! The reviews get me off my lazy ass to write! I own nothing and never will! Except Sarah, because she is me.


When we got to the entrance chamber the younger group looked around amazed by it. I looked around interested.

'It looks like it does in the game. I wonder if we'll have to fight the golems,' I thought while inspecting one of the walls. There was dust floating in the air, so I was hoping it wouldn't affect me. I heard the conversation with Kratos and Lloyd about Lloyd's sword skills.

"Sarah," I heard Kratos call. I turned around to face him.

"What is it?"

"Are your skills self-taught as well?"

"Yes," I replied.

"It'd be best if you read the book I gave Lloyd as well."

I nodded my head, keeping quiet. At least it wasn't a hard blow to my already low self-esteem.

We continued onwards only to be stopped by that barrier thing.

"I think the Sorcerer's Ring can get rid of it," Colette said.

"The Sorcerer's Ring?" Lloyd asked.

"It's an artifact of the Martel Temple," Genis answered.

"That's right, it's kept in the lower level of the temple," Colette said.

"Right! Then let's go get it!" Lloyd excitedly cheered.

So then we walked back to the entrance chamber and went down the hallway that was now on our right. On our way we had a few fights with the monsters, but we easily defeated them. By then, the dust was starting to effect me. After starting to cough a few times, I decided to just put my hand over the lower part of my face.

"Hey Sarah, are you okay?" Genis asked, when he noticed.

"I'm fine, it's just the dust was starting to make me cough," I replied.

"Are you allergic to it?"

"No, it's just that there's some things that cause me to cough easily."

"Like what?"

"Certain types of spicy foods, and dust."

"Really?"

"Yeah, that's one of the reasons I don't eat anything spicy. I just can't stand the smell of it."

"That's kind of strange."

"Yeah, especially considering everyone else in my family likes spicy foods."

"So how big is your family?"

"I have my mom and my dad, and three older brother."

"Must be hard with so many people who like something you hate."

"Not really, you learn to live with it after a while."

The conversation was easy because all of that was true. I didn't want to lie any more than I had to.

It was silent after that but Genis looked like he wanted to ask one more question. He looked like he was wondering if he should ask or not.

"If there's something you want to ask me then ask," I said.

"I was wondering, why you've been traveling on your own since you were 13," Genis said, well, more like muttered. Looks like I had to lie here. There was no way to tell the truth. I decided to go with something about my brother.

"I've been looking for my older brother. When he was 16 he left to travel and took me with him. A few days into the journey, we were separated. I can't remember how though. I haven't seen any sign of him since, not even back home," I replied, trying to act the part.

"Oh, sorry for asking," Genis said, probably scolding himself in his head for asking that. Apparently I was a good actress because Genis fell for it.

"Nah, it's okay, because I know I'll see him again some day," I replied, trying to make him feel better.

That's where our conversation ended because we finally reached the bottom level of the temple.

The floor was actually transparent like in the game. It gave me the sense that I'd fall through it at any time. The holes in there ground were there too. Note to self: Watch the floor.

"Look! There's something glowing!" Genis called as he walked over to the edge of the transparent floor.

"Careful, you don't want to fall," I said as I walked over with everyone else.

"Let's go see it!" Lloyd grinned. No one had noticed that Colette had wandered off. Not even me, I was too preoccupied with making sure I didn't fall or misstep. Which I have a tendency to do. Gravity hates me, or in this case it would be Gnome.

"What's this?" Colette asked.

Everyone turned around and saw Colette right next to one of the golems. Wow, I don't think you can get anymore air-headed than that. No offence.

"Look out!" Kratos charged forward while unsheathing his sword.

I pulled out my weapon and ran forward. When I unsheathed it I also slashed the golem. Wow, I wasn't expecting to actually damage the golem with a weapon. I back-stepped a few times to avoid being hit by the golem. The others had already joined in so it wasn't long before the golem was defeated.

The golem turned into a block. I'm not going to say rock because that's what it was in the first place.

"It turned into a rock!" Colette said.

"Wasn't it a rock to begin with?" I said.

That's when Colette tripped and pushed the rock down one of the holes. The rock filled the space in the path way below.

"I see."

"I get it."

"Kinda expected."

Kratos, Genis and I all said.

"Get what?" Lloyd asked, not understanding.

"The golem will help us fill the missing spaces to get to the Sorcerer's Ring," I explained. That's when another golem appeared.

"Let's defeat it and drop it down below!" Genis exclaimed.

We attacked the golem and defeated it easily. I tried to make sure that the golem never got to my back. The key word here is "tried". I've never had to gaurd my back before because during sparring it was a foul to hit the back. And if you got three you automatically lost the match. So, anything having to do with the back whether it was guarding of attacking, I was ignorant about it.

After fixing the pathway we walked over to the Sorcerer's Ring.

"What is it?" Lloyd asked.

"It's the Sorcerer's Ring! Now we can take down the barrier!" Colette cheered.

"Cool! I wanna try!" Lloyd grinned and got the ring.

"Okay!" Colette said.

So, after that, we went all the way back to the barrier. Lloyd used the Sorcerer's Ring to take down the barrier and got bored with it afterwards. We walked to the teleportation panel and teleported to the upper level of the temple.

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

"Then that thing there must be the Cruxis Crystal!" Lloyd said, looking at an object that was floating above the altar.

When he said "Cruxis Crystal", the thought of my brother running an organization like that reappeared in my head. It'd be really weird if he did run an organization like that.

"That's right! They say I was born with that in my hand," Colette chirped.

The Cruxis Crystal shone brighter and a light descended down. Remiel appeared and looked down at us. I didn't like this guy at all.

"W-What is that?" Lloyd gasped.

"An angel I would assume," Kratos answered.

'Angel my ass,' I thought.

"Then… is that Colette's real father?" Genis asked.

" I am Remiel, an angel of Cruxis, here to guide Colette, daughter of the Mana Lineage, on her journey to heaven as the 7th chosen," Remiel began with his idiotic speech, "The time had come to awaken the Goddess Martel, who sleeps at the center of the world."

The Cruxis Crystal floated towards Colette at Remiel's command. It then attached it's self around her throat.

"From this moment on, Colette becomes the Chosen of Regeneration," Remiel continued, "We of Cruxis bless this event, and hereby bestow the Tower of Salvation upon Sylverant!"

The Tower of Salvation, more like death, suddenly appeared. It was clearly visible from one of the windows. Everyone looked out at it.

"…So, that's the Tower of Salvation," Lloyd said. I couldn't help but mentally correct Lloyd by thinking death instead of salvation.

"Now the world will be saved!" Genis chirped.

'This world maybe, but not Tethe'alla,' I thought, 'I'm being very pessimistic right now.'

"Chosen of Regeneration, Colette! Unlock the seals that guard the Tower of Salvation and climb its stairs to heaven in distant lands!" Remiel commanded.

"I humbly accept this task." Colette recited.

"…Very good. We of Cruxis shall grant you the power of the angels with each seal you unlock. Once you are reborn as an angel, this eroded world shall be regenerated," Remiel said.

"Thank you. I swear on my life that I will regenerate the world," Colette said.

"First head south, to the seal of fire. Offer your prayers in that distant land," Remiel commanded.

"Yes, lord Remiel," Colette replied humbly.

Remiel started to fly away but he was interrupted by Colette.

"Wait! Please wait!" Colette cried, "Are you really my fa-"

Remiel cut her off, "Offer your prayers at the seal of fire, understood? My beloved daughter Colette?"

"F-father! So you really are my true father!"

"I await you at the next seal Colette… my daughter," The idiotic angel then disappeared.

There was a pause and Lloyd decided to go up and talk to everyone.

I looked out the window at the Tower of Death… er… Salvation. I was actually amazed by it's structure. It made me wonder how it could be so tall, yet not topple over. Maybe it was just an illusion?

"Its really cool, huh?" Lloyd said from beside me. I was so lost in thought that it made me jump slightly. Nothing noticeable though.

"Yeah, it does look cool… I wonder, just how tall is it?" I replied.

"Well, it's suppose to reach up to heaven so who knows."

"Must be a long walk," I put in for a joke.

Lloyd laughed at that and said, "No kidding!"

He then left to talk with anyone else he hasn't talked to.

I walked over to Colette because I hadn't gotten the chance to talk to her yet.

"Hey Colette," I greeted.

"Hi Sarah!"

"Do you feel any different now that you're officially the chosen?"

"No, not really."

"Chosen, you've received the oracle, let us leave now," Kratos cut in.

"Okay, why don't you come with us Sarah?" Colette asked.

"Of course," I replied.

Colette turned to Lloyd and Genis and said, "Thanks for coming along you two. Please stop by my house later!"

Kratos had already lest and Colette stepped on the teleportation panel next.

"Bye guys! Hopefully we'll see each other again before I leave Iselia," I said and stepped onto the teleportation panel.

I appeared on the ground level of the temple and Colette was waiting for me.

"Thanks for waiting," I said.

"Of course, were friends now, right?" Colette chirped.

"Yeah, definitely," I replied, smiling. We then followed Kratos out of the temple.

"So where are you from? I think it'd be best to get to know each other!" Colette said.

"I was born in Triet and lived there until I was five, then my family moved to Luin," I answered off the top of my head.

"Wow, that's a long move."

"I know, I don't really get why we moved so far away in the first place."

"Did you ever ask?"

"Yeah, my parents said it was to protect me, which I kinda get since there are more monsters around Triet than Luin, but the monsters never enter the towns. Also, the monsters are stronger around Luin."

We continued to talk about ourselves so that we could get to know each other better. I actually found out that I was quite fond of the blond. She was just really nice, I was starting to like it here much better than Earth. I mean, in just one day I had already made three friends while back on Earth, it would take years for me to even make one.

"What's that?" Colette asked, pointing at something shinning. She ran off to go see what it was. We were close to the village entrance right now.

I ran after her and stopped.

"It's a sword," I heard Colette say. I looked down and saw it was my sword.

"That would be mine," I pointed out.

"It is?"

"Yeah, when I heard that there were Desians at the temple I decided to go help. But a zombie attack and it broke my sword. I was in a rush so I left it."

"Would this be your's as well?" Kratos asked, walking up to me with my shuriken.

"Yes," I replied.

"It seems you know how to use many weapons," Kratos said, handing me my shuriken.

"No, I don't know how to use a sword and I have horrible aim," I replied.

"Then why so you carry around a sword and those other weapons?" Colette asked.

"Because the oldest of my three brothers bought me the shuriken, the weapon Kratos found, and my dad bought me that sword. It's just for good luck," I replied. That was not a lie.

"Oh, maybe Dirk can fix your sword, he's dwarf and Lloyd's adoptive dad," Colette said.

"I hope so, this sword is one of the most precious items I have," I said. I took off my cape and laid it on the ground. I then started putting the pieces on it. After that I wrapped it up and attached it to one of my belts.

We then continued on to Colette's house.


Me: I'd be nice if you reviewed!
