Title: Perspectives
Chapter: Remiel - Iselia Temple
Fandom: Tales of Symphonia
Characters: Remiel, appearances by Genis, Colette, Lloyd, and Kratos
Warnings: Spoilers, but if you're here you're probably not worried about those
Summary: The angelic messenger assesses the situation.
Notes: Finally getting going on this properly! Remiel gave me a lot of headaches, I admit, but I think I have a handle on him for now. Expect chapter 3 up as soon as I can finish typing it!
Remiel's patient smile was permanently affixed to his face as he teleported in to deliver the Oracle to the Chosen One. He eyed the motley group as he descended. It seemed that Lord Yggdrasill had been correct in sending Lord Kratos to aid them: the Seraph waited before him now, accompanied not by the temple priests, but by a pair of children who stood beside the Chosen, one of them a half-elf. He suppressed a sneer; how pathetic it was, to see them coming to support their friend, entirely oblivious to her true fate and status. But he knew what a great honor it was to have been picked to deliver this cycle's Oracle, and he could do no less than play the role of the benevolent guide to perfection.
The children stared at him in awe, unaware of Lord Kratos' indifference, and the half-elven boy said something about him being the Chosen's true father, no doubt failing to realize that Remiel's angelic hearing meant he could catch every word. Had that rumor been circulating again? These mortals were truly hopeless, but perhaps he could use their ignorance to motivate them. It would cost him nothing to pretend, after all, and the girl might be inclined to work still harder if she believed that rumor to be truth.
Finally, he greeted them, beginning his pre-rehearsed speech. Already, his thoughts were drifting toward the future. He'd heard Lord Yuan telling someone that this Chosen was the closest match to Lady Martel in centuries. If Remiel were the one to guide her on her way to becoming the perfect vessel...well, surely Lord Yggdrasill would have some grand rewards in store for him...
