Alchemy Destinies
By: The Digital One
This story basically follows the bad guy's pasts (Felix included :B) and why Alex and Felix… um, Alex teamed up with Saturos and Mernardi. The game Golden Sun never gave much information on Mia and Alex (nor Saturos and Mernardi's fire clan), except that they had to protect the Imilians, and guard the lighthouse, to prevent it from being lit. Where did the other members of the Mercury clan go? How was life in Vale before?
NOTE: I don't own Golden Sun. This story is just a fanfic that I cooked up, with the characters of Golden Sun. The only thing I own is the idea.

Chapter One: The beginning
"Mernardi… Mernardi?" A voice echoed in Mernardi's head. Mernardi was fast asleep, until the voice interrupted her dream. She grunted and forced her eyes open.
It was Saturos. The young male, with crimson eyes, a light blue hue for his hair, and his skin was a darker, navy blue. He was in full attire, with his sword latched on his belt, and his shield attached onto a hook in his armor. Saturos was shaking Mernardi's shoulders, attempting to wake the young female up.
Mernardi's skin was a pale color. Her hair was blonde, and she painted her face for a variety of color. The paint, though, got smudged while she was sleeping. She looked up to Saturos.
"What do you want?" Mernardi snapped at Saturos.
"Calm down, woman," Saturos put his hands on his hips. "The Quill wants us to crack the core of Alchemy, for a mission. We have to go to Angara."
The Quill was a young man, a powerful, swift mars adept; the leader of the fire clan of the north, whom both Saturos and Mernardi are a part of. He had electric yellow eyes, but other than that, he looked and dressed like a normal human.
"How can we crack the core of Alchemy? It's impossible, with years and years of legacies of sages… they didn't find out one thing about alchemy." Mernardi grumbled. She got up, and put on her armor.
"Ah, but we don't know. Angarians aren't connected with us at all. I really don't think they would tell us, either," Saturos said.
"Ehh… whatever…" Mernardi scowled. She added a layer of paint on her face, put on her hot pink shoes, and headed out of the room she was in. Saturos followed.
When Saturos caught up with Mernardi, Mernardi started asking questions.
"Where are we going to start?" She barked.
"We'll ask The Quill," he replied.
"What if we never fulfill this mission?" She asked.
"Oh, Mernardi, we haven't even started," Saturos gave her a rare, but pained smile. "We'll just see what The Quill says. He wants us to complete this mission, after all."
"What if we die?"
"Mernardi… god, what the hell is with you and these questions? Ask me if we're close to dying, or if it seems impossible!" Saturos' oily voice raised a volume.
Mernardi didn't say anything, until they reached The Quill's door. Saturos knocked the door gently.
"Master? Are you in there?" Saturos asked. No one answered. Saturos knocked on the door again.
"Excuse me? Are you in there, master?"
"Well, since he isn't here, why don't we go back and forget about this?" Mernardi said, looking around.
"Mernardi! Not answering to the master results in death! He's the strongest adept in our clan! He is our dictator! I don't think you're not afraid of death. We'll just wait here," Saturos was starting to get annoyed.
Mernardi scowled and then stood by The Quill's door. Saturos crossed his arms, and leaned on the door. Several minutes passed by when Mernardi started to complain, being her impatient self.
"Ohh, I hope out 'master' is dead! He isn't worth anything!" Mernardi frowned.
"Mernardi, keep your damned thoughts in your head! If you say anything like that in the raw of the public, we could get killed!" Saturos gritted his teeth.
The Quill suddenly appeared. He was carrying a bag, and reaching in his pocket for his keys.
"Hello, Saturos, Mernardi. How are you today?" He said. The Quill held the bag between his teeth, and began unlocking the door.
"I'm fine today, thank you," Saturos said, slightly bowing. Mernardi noticed Saturos' voice was clearer than when he was talking to her.
"That's all jolly," The Quill opened the door, and took off his boots. "You may come in."
Mernardi walked through the door, taking off her own boots. Saturos was looking at Mernardi in an odd way, as if trying to tell her something. Mernardi ignored Saturos, and walked straight to a royal blue armchair, and sat down. Saturos took off his boots, and just stood in front of the messy room. Saturos looked toward the Quill, and smiled.
"Thank you for letting us in," Saturos bowed again. Mernardi sank into the armchair, and sighed. The Quill glanced quickly over at Mernardi.
"No problem, Saturos, but we aren't having any kind of party today," The Quill glared at Mernardi, who made a face at The Quill. Saturos made a movement impersonating a knife cutting through his neck, and then pointed at her. Mernardi ignored Saturos.
"I know; we have to find the stupid core of Alchemy, yadda, yadda. But where? That's all we need to know, and then we can go away." Mernardi said quickly.
Saturos put his arm on his legs and rested his chin on his hand. The Quill looked over at Mernardi, with a look of disdain on his face.
"Yea… you're right in a way. You need to break the seal of Alchemy, and discover its secrets. I don't care if no soul on this planet knows, or everyone in Angara knows. You will be finding it. We'll start in Angara; it's said that a small village protecting a giant mountain has the secrets hidden in their village." The Quill sat on one of his armchairs, crumpling the bag.
"Aye, sir. We will complete this mission for you," Saturos put his hand on his forehead, and saluted. Mernardi had to stifle her laughter to make it inaudible to Saturos and The Quill.
"Bah, you think you can do it all alone, with no help?" The Quill suddenly sneered.
Saturos was taken aback. "Well, I have Mernardi's help…" He said weakly, his voice greasy again.
"Mernardi?" The Quill smiled slyly. "She can actually help you? How has she ever helped you before?" The Quill asked. Mernardi got up in her seat.
"Excuse me, sir… but what does that supposed to mean?" Mernardi said slowly, looking at Saturos.
"You two barely survived the last mission I gave you two, you know, to battle the Tin master and defeat him? You got that robot to flee from our area, but that isn't completing the mission. Saturos could have used the promotion… and the budget. Too bad he has a klutz for a partner." The Quill said scornfully.
Mernardi was shaking in anger. Saturos stared at Mernardi tensely, as if waiting for her to explode.
"Well, wheter you guys die, or complete the mission, I do not care. Promotion if you succeed… death… as another two optional choices… if you come back without a straight answer." The Quill opened the bag, and got out a small book.
"I'm assuming you don't know where Angara is, knuckleheads. Thank god that you have a leader that saves your cheek by buying a book for you," The Quill threw the book to Saturos. It was a world atlas, with a weak, paper cover, and missing pages.
"Thank you, sir…" Saturos said, looking through the book.
The Quill took a golden goblet from his table, and filled it with wine he withdrew from the bag. Saturos eagerly waited for The Quill to give him some, since his mouth felt like it was stuffed with cotton balls, but The Quill put the goblet in front of his lips, draining the cup.
"I do not want to see the likes of you until you complete your mission," The Quill corked the bottle of wine, and put the goblet and bottle on his table. "You two are dismissed!"
Saturos walked out of the room quickly, frowning. Mernardi got out, shaking with anger.
"That son of a bitch… ohhh… I want to kill that… that… bastard! I mean, 'klutz?' I'm not a klutz!" Mernardi said after they walked a distance from the Quill's room. Saturos shook his head.
"Well, let's get all of our stuff, and leave," Saturos got the keys out of his pockets. "If we can't find what we want, we can live on the raw of the land, enjoying the rest of our lives, building up our psynergy…"
"… To kill that moron! I'm not a klutz!" Mernardi thundered.
Saturos smiled weakly. "Well, say what you will, after we get out of this building."
They walked through twists and turns, until they finally reached the exit. A young, male teenager that looked like Mernardi waved at them.
"See ya, guys! Good luck on your mission!" he said.
"Bye, Meriko!" Mernardi called. She opened the exit door, and waved at the boy.
It was a bright, summer morning. The sun poured on them, over an open patch of grassy land. Mernardi looked back at the four storied building, and waved.
"Good riddance, The Damned!" She cupped her hands around her mouth, and hollered. Saturos got out the book, and glared at her.
"You are such a personable person," Saturos said.
Mernardi beamed at Saturos and ran around in circles, while Saturos slowly walked toward Angara, according to the map.
"Well, Saturos… I say we drop the whole subject and live on the rough of the land." Mernardi said, after a fair distance away from the building.
"No," Saturos said. "We should find the core of alchemy. If we can turn crude material into gold, we can just keep the secret to ourselves, and sell our way to riches." Saturos smiled again. "Now, which way is east, Mernardi, did you bring your compass?"

w00t! What an exciting chapter! Um, well, not really exciting, but it gives you the reason why Saturos and Mernardi wanted to go to Vale. Of course, they don't know what Vale is now, but they will learn from future experiences. The next chapter would cover Mia's past, and the next chapter will cover Jenna's, etc. Kind of like the Redwall series, switching back and forth, between the enemies and the bad guys. The story also takes place around when the main characters (except Ivan) were 13, a good four years from the ending of the first Golden Sun game (Dora said that Isaac was ALMOST 17 in the beginning, and Garet and Mia are the same age.). Ivan won't be featured in this story, as much as I like the boy.
