Beginning

With the Eternal Sword in his hands, Lloyd knew that he had to use it to merge the two worlds. But, when he began to use it, something felt... off. Despite the fact that he was assured that he would be able to wield the Eternal Sword thanks to the 'aionis' stone, Lloyd saw his surroundings beginning to lose color, then everything was starting to become distorted, and finally he was surrounded by darkness.

It all happened so fast that Lloyd didn't have time to react until he saw that he was in a void of darkness.

"Wha-!? Everyone! Colette! Professor! Genis! Zelos! Sheena! Presea! Regal! Dad!" Lloyd screamed, then he tried to move, but he was unable to do so.

"What is going on?" Lloyd said out loud while he was trying to somehow move.

"So, you're my new master... Pathetic." A loud, booming voice said.

"Who said that?" Lloyd asked.

"Are you really that stupid?" The voice asked.

"Just tell me who you are or-" Lloyd got interrupted by the voice, who said, "You'll do what? As far I know, you can't even move."

"I'll scream." Lloyd said, but, before he could do that, Lloyd felt something covering his mouth.

"Now, now. We can't have that." The voice said while Lloyd was trying everything in his power to make a sound.

"How could my Master lose to someone like you." The voice said.

Upon hearing that, Lloyd stopped struggling and began to think about the real identity of the entity that was holding him.

"I see that you have finally decided to shut up. But, even though I find your thinking face funny, my patience is running thin. So, I will tell you who I am unless by some miracle you have already figured it out." The voice said to which Lloyd responded by glaring the same way that Kratos used to glare at him during the beginning of his journey.

"Nice glare, but you're going to need to do better than that if you want to scare me. Anyways, I am the Eternal Sword." The Eternal Sword said which confused Lloyd.

"I can see that you're confused, but all you need to know is that I gained a consciousness after spending years with my previous Master, Mithos Yggdrasill." After saying that, the Eternal Sword took a brief pause and Lloyd could have sworn that there was a hint of sadness in the Eternal Sword's voice. But, soon after that, the Eternal Sword continued to say, "To get to the point, I want to make you a proposition."

Without realizing it, Lloyd's mouth was no longer covered. So, he was able to say, "A proposition?"

"Yes, but, if you want me to tell you the definition of that word, I'm afraid you're going to have to ask someone else." The Eternal Sword said.

"Can it wait after the two worlds are reunited?" Lloyd asked with an angry and demanding tone.

"Either you take my proposition or you stay here forever." The Eternal Sword said.

"Why you-!" Lloyd got interrupted when the Eternal Sword said, "Answer NOW!"

"I accept." Lloyd begrudgingly accepted.

"Excellent." The Eternal Sword said.

Suddenly, everything around Lloyd began to dissolve into white while the Eternal Sword said, "Listen well, you shall live 8 lives. In each life, I will decide when you die and in the last life I will decide whether you are worthy to wield me."

In a second, everything around Lloyd turned white, then black. But, unlike the previous darkness, Lloyd could hear other people talking.

"- Careful." A male voice said.

"Don't-" A feminine voice.

At first, Lloyd couldn't hear them properly until he heard a familiar voice, "Yuan, you are the one who should be careful not Martel."

"Dad!" Lloyd thought as he quickly opened his eyes and saw that he was in a forest and that a woman with long green hair and green eyes was looking at him with a warm expression was looking at him.

"Good morning, Calder. Sorry we woke you up." The woman said.

Author's Note

This is a new story that I created when I was bored and, to be honest, I have no idea at what direction this story will go.
