I do not own Tales of Symphonia

Wasteland

The group trudged through the snowstorm towards Flainor. Genis swooned slightly. Raine walked over and felt his head. "Genis you feel a little warm." She pulled off her jacket and wrapped it around her brother's shoulders. Presea looked around. "We're under attack." She said quite calmly as if commenting on the weather. Lloyd started to breathe heavily. Zelos clutched his throat. Sheena spun around. There was a huge tornado of snow surrounding the group. The air was being sucked from around them. The air pressure around them increased and the group fell, unconscious in the cold, white snow.

Colette sat up. Her head was spinning. "Wh-what happened?" Lloyd sat up and fell back over. He blinked twice and sat straight up again. It looked like a desert. He looked around again. It looked like they were in a maze. Except he and Colette were alone. He blushed. "We-we should try to find the others." Colette jumped up and nodded. "You're right Lloyd! Let's go!" He took one huge step forward and fell face first into the sand. Lloyd sweatdropped. "You okay?" He helped her up. "S-sorry." "Stop apologizing you dork. And let's get a move on." He gave her a friendly smile and they started making their way through the maze.

When Raine awoke she was on a strong back. She hadn't opened her eyes. She didn't feel like it. She snuggled into the long silky hair that belonged to the person holding her. She finally opened her eyes. She was looking into a long mane of blue hair. She sat up and readjusted her arms. She looked down. Shackled hands were resting under her rump. "R-Regal, you r-really don't have to carry me." He put her down and looked at her. "We have to find the others." Raine looked at him and looked around. She finally noticed that she was no longer trudging through the blizzard that had been whipping around them what seemed to be just minutes ago. "It seems that wind was a spell. Must have been casted by a very powerful sage." She looked up at the sky to judge what time it was. The sun was shining on them brightly then seconds later it clicked off. She gasped and clung to the battle artist who was adjusting his body so his arms were once again in front of him. He looked up quickly too and grabbed her arm. "We should find shelter."

When the red-haired chosen awoke it was dark out. All he could see was a small fire where Sheena was sleeping. He walked over to her and sat on the warm sand. Wait…Sand? He jumped back up and looked around. "How'd the hell we get here?" Sheena flipped over and mumbled, "Zelos." He held his breath. "Please…hold me?" The rest was some untranslatable stuff. He sat next to her again and pulled her body to his. "Well…. at least we're together for the night." He slowly drifted off again.

Presea had been awake for hours. She had seen the Sun go out. All she cared about was protecting her teammate. Genis yawned and squirmed a little, let out a huge snore and flipped back over. She didn't have anything to keep the small mage warm with and she had no idea how to use a kendama. A few minutes later Genis sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "Whahappened?" The pink haired girl looked at him and blinked. "It seems that the vortex that we were trapped in in Flainor has brought us to this place." "…Oh…" He looked around. He was alone with Presea. He blushed and grabbed his kendama. "F-fire ball!" He cast fireball at a small dried desert bush. "Thank you Genis." "N-no problem." The small ax wielder closed her eyes and drifted to sleep, closely followed by the young mage.

Outside the desert wasteland was room. It looked like it belonged to a small child. A small girl infact. That girl walked over to the box, her blue curled pigtails bouncing. She was wearing a soft blue Lolita with a big bow on her head. She looked into the bow on her table. She clutched tighter to her teddy bear and smiled as she saw the separate members of the team sleeping in the maze she had created. "See Teddy? Everything is happening perfectly." She looked up at the brown haired man in white who was taking care of her. She smiled her adorable smile and lifted her arms as if she wanted to be lifted. The man bent down and tucked her into her giant downy bed. "Enjoy your sleep little one." He pulled off her bow and snapped. She was changed into her night gown, although she was already asleep. Kratos left the room of the sleeping child and retired to his own room deciding if he should let his friends and son suffer, or face the wrath of the devil in the room across from his.

((Well I think that went pretty well…..read and review please.))
