Hey everyone! this is just an idea that popped into my head, so here you go:

Disclaimer: I, Knownobody, here by state that I do NOT own Tales of Symphonia. I do however, love the game.

Summery: What if Lloyd was found by Phaidra instead of Dirk? What if he was found as an Angel? What would happen if Anna died in child birth on Welgaia? What if Martel sent Lloyd to look after Colette and to keep her away from Cruxis?

Tales of Angels

Chapter 1

"Quick! Check this way!" a voice yelled. A vast city, a city of silence and metal was in a total uproar. Humanoid figures with wings, angels, were scrambling all over the city. The normally life-less angels would float around silently waiting to be given a task, but not today. Today they were searching, searching for someone.

Two other figures stood at the foot of a large circular platform on the floor. The platform had an intricate pattern written on it. It hummed a light tune as a dim light pulsated from it.

The first figure had emerald green eyes, and long blond hair. He wore a white spandex suit with gold trimming. He had large pink and purple wings fluttering calmly formed from his back. The figure seemed to be mulling things over in his mind as he pulled a look of concentration on his face.

The figure next to him, had crimson red eyes, and spiky red hair. He wore a white and blue uniform with a matching sparrow tail cape. He had gold colored belts crossing over his chest and waist. He had a long sword attached to his belt. From his back sprouted blue sparrow like wings which were fluttering tensely, as if mimicking the man's emotions. He was turning his head around anxiously, his eyes showing desperation and worry. In contrast to the blond who was partially calm, this man was frantic.

"Kratos?" the blond asked. The red head turned to the blond.

"Yes Lord Yggrassil?" Kratos asked weakly.

"Your absolutely certain that Lloyd left? And that he left on his own?" Yggrassil asked.

"Yes Lord Yggrassil, I couldn't find him anywhere," Kratos said sadly. "I think Noishe may have gone with him though, so at least he's not alone."

"That doesn't matter, all that matters is that we find him. Lloyd is the only one that can speak with Martel, so therefore, when she is brought back, she will need her servant. Lloyd should still be here in Welgaia, there are only two ways back to the worlds, the one under guard in the Tower of Salvation, and the other is in Vinheim, but that one is inhabited by monsters. That servant isn't stupid enough to go through there."

Kratos winced at his surperior's words. 'Lloyd isn't a "servant," he's my son!' the red head said to himself.

"Kratos, continue your search, use as many angels, or designs as you need, just bring Lloyd home," Yggrassil said as he turned back to the humming platform. He disappeared as soon as he stepped onto it, leaving Kratos standing there by himself as the other angels continued to search frantically.

'Where's Yuan when you need him?' Kratos thought angrily as his desperation quickly turned to anger. 'This is all Yggrassil's fault, he had Lloyd spend too much time around the Great Seed, and now this happens.'

Kratos ran through the city, looking for his five year old son. 'Lloyd where could you have gotten to?' Kratos ran into a large group of angels and called for their attention.

"What can we do for you Lord Kratos?" One of the life-less angels asked. Unlike Kratos and Yggrassil, these angels had solid wings made of flesh and feathers instead of mana.

"I need you to search Vinheim for Lloyd, If you find him, bring him back immediately!" Kratos ordered.

"Understood," the angel said calmly, and as a group they all took off towards another warp panel. Kratos once again stood by himself before he took off in search again.

The next thing Kratos knew, as he turned around a corner, was that he finally found an old friend of his. Well, actually they found each other, as they collided.

"Kratos? What's going on?" a blue haired man who also had emerald green eyes asked as he rubbed his now sore head. "What are all the angels searching for?" he asked. He rose from the ground and dusted off his blue cloak and armor. His white pants stood out from the rest of his clothes.

"Yuan, Lloyd's gone missing!" was all Kratos could say before Yuan cut him off.

"Need help looking?" Yuan offered. Kratos accepted graciously and the two went back to searching. "You don't suppose Lloyd left Welgaia do you?"

"He shouldn't have, I've never taken him out of the city before, it's too dangerous," Kratos answered.

A middle aged woman with short blond hair gazed up at the clear sky. Her hair was beginning to gray at the edges. She wore a modest dress, the one she wore when ever she was doing anything at or for the church. She was the head priestess of the church in her small town of Iselia. The woman sighed and continued along the path she was walking on.

Two others accompanied the priestess. Both of them also middle aged. They were both the same hight, and both wore similar church robes. The two of them both wore similar priest hats, that covered their balding heads.

The three of them were making their way to the Church that was just on the outside of town, just as they would every single day.

"Lady Phaidra?" one of the priests said. Phaidra turned to her two companions. "Is it wise to leave the Chosen all alone back in Iselia?" he asked.

"Colette is not alone, she is with Frank, besides Raine will help him if he needs anything," the priestess responded with a smile.

"But!" the other priest tried to add but he was cut off.

"Have faith, my son knows what he's doing."

"What about the Desians?"

"Frank would die before he'd let them touch her. Besides, we have a non-aggression treaty with the Desians," Phaidra said.

"I still don't think he should be left with the Chosen without a priest," the priest muttered to his companion so that Phaidra wouldn't hear him. The man received a nod of agreement.

"Come on Noishe!" a small brunnett boy said from on top of a large dog like creature. The boy had chocolate brown eyes, and wore a simple white shirt with blue trimmings and matching pants. from his backs were blue eagle like wings. The wings were twice the boy's arm length, and were tensed up.

The creature the boy was riding was large, and had white fur with green spots. It had long wing like ears. The creature was fast and communicated through whining.

The two of then were running through the forest at a break neck pace, for they were being pursued. The boy had his arms wrapped around the dog like creature's neck. He turned his head to look behind them.

The hungry pack of wolves was still fresh on their tail, eager for their breakfast. All of the wolves had brown matted fur, except for the pack leader. It's fur was a silky black, and seemed to shine.

"Noishe! Run!" the boy urged. Noishe tried to increase his pace, but only succeeded in tripping over something, causing the both of them to crash onto the ground.

The hungry wolves surround the two of them and began to growl at them ferociously. Their feral eyes pierced the boy like an arrow through the heart. Noishe rose to his feet and stood over the young angel to protect him.

One of the wolves rushed towards Noishe, who stood his ground. The two dogs collided, Noishe having greater strength managed to brush the wolf aside, but was tackled to the ground from the side.

The boy rose to his feet, looking around desperately for help. All he found was the black wolf mere feet from him. The wolf's snarling echoed throughout his body, and the breath filled his nostrils. The wolf's paw made contact with his torso, sending him to the ground a few feet back. Weakly, the boy returned back up to his feet, grasping his torso, which was losing a good deal of blood.

Noishe, smelling his friend's blood, began to fight more ferociously against the pack of wolves, but he was out numbered. The boy began to feel helpless and desperate as the large wolf closed in on him once again.

Then, he felt his instincts take over, as he felt a strong power build up inside of him. "Sacred powers, cast your purifying light upon these unfortunate souls... rest in peace, sinners!" he said. A magical casting circle appeared beneath his feet, his wings tensed, and his eyes began to draw a wine red tint into them as he began to manifest the power forming inside of his body. "Judgement!" he shouted.

Phaidra and her companions continued on their way to the church until they all saw something that made their eyes widen with shock. Massive pillars of light were crashing into the ground not far from where they were.

"Light from Cruxis?" one of the priests said in amazement.

"Amazing!" the other said.

Phaidra remained silent. She turned from her path on the road and started into the forest towards the source of the light. "Lady Phaidra!" the other priests called after her but she continued, speeding up until she was in a full run.

'That was defiantly holy light from Cruxis,' she said to herself as her curiosity got the better of her. The head Priestess continued to run towards the source of the light until she came apon a small clearing. Apart from the many dead wolves, she saw at least one living creature.

She saw what looking like a dog, only it was much larger than a dog. It had green and white fur, and large wing like ears. The creature had many cuts and bite marks. As soon as it noticed her, the creature began to growl, as if giving a warning.

Then she realised why. Next to the creature was a small boy, no older than five. His face was hidden behind his hair, but she could easily see the sweat dripping from his face. His clothes were torn, and he had a large cut on his torso. But what Phiadra most most shocked about, was his back.

"An angel?" she said quietly, still shocked from what she saw. The other priests caught up to her and both seemed just as shocked as Phaidra was.

"Cruxis has sent an angel to watch over the Chosen," one of them said.

"He's going to die if we don't help him," Phaidra said gathering the other two's attention. As soon as she tried to approach the boy, the dog like creature began to snarl.

"Noishe," the boy said weakly. The three priests froze. "It's ok," he finished. Noishe called down, and rubbed his head against the small angel's face affectionately. Phaidra carefully approached, in case Noishe became hostile.

"Are you well enough to travel? We need to get you some where safe so you can be healed," Phaidra said calmly. The boy tried to stand up, but fell as soon as he was off the ground. Noishe tried to pick him up, but his body was too weak and could not support the two of them.

"Come here," Phaidra said as she picked up the boy and held him in her arms. As she craddled the boy, her hads went through his blue wings. It was an odd sensation, like sticking your hand into water, but her hands were dry.

She turned to the other two priests. "Go find Raine and bring her to the church," she told one. "go get Frank and bring him as well, and tell him to bring some of his old clothes from when he was a boy," she told the other.

They both nodded and ran back to the village. Phaidra continued to the church, which wasn't too far away.

"So, what's your name? And why are you all the way out here?" Phaidra asked as she walked. Noishe, limped by her side, eager to stay with his friend.

"My name is Lloyd, mommy asked me to become friends with someone named Colette, do you know where she is?" the boy answered.

Phaidra internally froze. 'An angel of Cruxis sen to look after the Chosen!' she said to herself. "Yes, she's my grand daughter, and she's going to become an angel just like you some day," she told Lloyd. A small smile spread across his face. "I'll introduce the two of you when you get better, is that ok?"

Lloyd responded by nodding his had happily. Phaidra could feel his wings flutter peacefully. she looked down to see the boy resting, so she continued to the church that could be seen just up the hill as carefully as she could so that he wouldn't wake up.

Side Note: The relationship between Lloyd and Martel is the same as it would be between Lloyd and Dirk. Even though Lloyd knows she isn't his real mom, he treats her like she is.
