What if Zelos had followed Sheena on her mission to assassinate the Chosen of Sylvarant? ^^

This chapter is short, but it's the first one so bear with it. The other will be longer, so don't worry.

EDIT: Thanks to one of my good friends, I'll be fixing a couple of things in each chapter. So if you like, you can re-read the whole thing and it'll be much better! Thank you = ) & Enjoy.

Chapter One

The King Said No

.

.

"The answer is no. You are forbidden to leave Tethe'alla to go to Sylvarant, the degrading world. The people of Tethe'alla cannot let their Chosen One leave!" Tethe'alla's King had yelled at the particular red-head.

After hearing about Mizuho's plan to assassinate Sylvarant's Chosen, and how it was Sheena Fujibayashi who had volunteered to accomplish this mission, Zelos Wilder, the one and only Chosen One of Tethe'alla, had asked the King for permission to join her on her mission.

"Aww! Come on!" Zelos said in his whinny voice.

"We cannot take the risk your life being wasted this way… don't you think, Chosen One?" The King had answered with a smile this time, but apart from his duty as Chosen, Zelos thought something in that smile was making allusion to his mother's death.

All smile gone in his face, Zelos faked a laugh he was so used to faking.

"Hey, I'm just worried she'll get killed, you know. If you won't let me go and protect her and Tethe'alla, then at least send guards with her or something…" Zelos had started.

"This is Mizuho request to send her alone, I merely respect their wish." His Majesty the King said in a voice Zelos found rather disgustingly cold.

Anger burned in him as he thought of her village wanting her dead and this stupid King that didn't care one bit.

However, Zelos' mask could not be broken that easily.

"Okay, then"

With that, the Chosen walked out and headed back home.

.

"Sebastian!" Zelos yelled as he barged in his mansion.

"Yes, sir?" Sebastian said as if he had just appeared.

"Oh" his butler was sure good at appearing out of nowhere, "Pack my bags, I'm going."

"If I may ask, were to, Master Zelos?"

The Chosen brushed some hair back and smiled at nothing. "I'll go after her, Sebastian. It's my duty to protect her!"

His butler nodded and headed to do what he was told. "I take it you are talking about lady Sheena of Mizuho. Your things will be ready in a moment"

Zelos laughed silently thinking how his butler he grew so close to knew him so well. This man had did his best to have Zelos raised properly after his parents death, but there was now an attachment neither of them could deny. Apart from his half-sister who is locked away in the Southeast abbey, his butler was his closest form of family.

"Thanks, Sebastian!"

.

"You ready, Corrine?"

The little summon spirit nodded. "Remember, Sheena… for the sake of Tethe'alla."

"It's ready!" a man announced proudly.

Sheena Fujibayashi stood in front of the gateway to the other world as it started to spin, creating a glowing light. She was about to travel to Sylvarant, were only very few men from this base had put foot. She couldn't help but feel nervous. She had to find the Chosen of Sylvarant and assassinate her to protect Tethe'alla, while in a completely different world.

"Sheena Fujibayashi, we wish you luck" the men lowered their heads to her. Corrine climbed on her shoulder in one quick motion and nudged her comfortingly.

Sheena took a quick breath and marched in the gateway, where she disappeared almost instantly.

"May the goddess bring her success" one of the leaders renegade said.

"Sheena! Sheena!"

The summoner lifted her eyelids with difficulty as she felt her head spin. "Sheena!" she heard a relieved Corrine say. She sat up slowly to find herself on a beach in what seemed like Sylvarant.

"Did we make it?" she asked, confused.

"Yes! This is Sylvarant!" Corrine answered.

Sheena got up excitedly, regaining her full abilities. "Alright!"

But then a thought hit her, "Um, so… where are we, Corrine?"

"A deserted island"

"Whaaat? How could this happen? Oh no! What are we going to do?"

Author's note: Next chapter will be longer and it's already up, so read and review please^^

I'm trying to make them meet as soon as possible, since the whole point of this story is for them to be in Sylvarant together.
