Colette's Thoughts on Angels

What is an angel?

Ever since we started this journey, I've wondered. I first thought that angels were the happy little children we had always pictured them as, eternally serving Martel…and then we met Remiel, and I realized that every angel is unique, like every person is.

Were all of the angels people before? I think that someone said that most angels are or were half-elves, but there seem to be a lot of human ones, too. Kratos and Zelos are, and there are all of the other Chosens and myself…

The angels we met at Welgaia didn't have souls. I wonder why Kratos and Yuan do? I guess Mithos may have wanted them to stay alive, since they were his friends…but how could he keep their souls and then rob the other angels of theirs? If he had the ability, wouldn't he have kept everyone with a soul?

He always talked about the Age of Lifeless Beings…is that why he let that happen to the others? If he really wanted an end to discrimination, wouldn't he have to eventually take Kratos and Yuan's souls too?

…I guess he just didn't want to hurt his friends. Or maybe he just didn't want to be alone…

So many people have lost themselves in the Pilgrimage of the Chosen. There have been so many in Sylvarant, and maybe even more in Tethe'alla…what happened to them after they became angels? The coffins in the Tower of Salvation hold the bodies of failed Chosens…were there bodies of successful ones, too? Would I have been placed in one of those if Lloyd hadn't saved me?

People shouldn't have to suffer like this. I went on the pilgrimage thinking that my death would bring happiness back to our world. It was only after I lost my soul that I understood that I had created more pain than joy…

This has to stop. All of the pain…all of the suffering that has come to both of these worlds…all of this that Mithos has made. I hope that he comes to his senses, but after what happened between him and Martel, I don't know…I don't think that he will listen anymore.

We can stop him. I don't want to hurt him…but…

…but I can't let him hurt my friends anymore.
