Okay, I wasn't sure if I was going to continue this, but then...well...a lot of people seemed to really want it.
Now, for you people who DIDN'T read the summary, this is SLASH. That means guys kissing guys and other such things. If you don't like it, then I suggest you hit the back button and read other fics. Don't try flaming me, because I will ignore you.
Disclaimer: If I owned Golden Sun, Picard's name would be Picard in the English version, Garet would be more of a main character, and there would be lots of little slash bunnies when regarding Alex and Felix. ^_^
Chapter 1
I didn't want to open my eyes.
Something warm was settled gently against my cheek, soft fingers brushing the skin like the sunlight colored red through my eyelids. For the first time in months, everything felt...peaceful...serene...almost ethereal...
Was I...dead?
I remembered the lighthouse, I remembered Saturos and Menardi falling into the beacon, Sheba's plunge to the sea, and leaping from the parapet.
After that...there was nothing.
Was it entirely possible that I was...dead?
The hand moved away, and cold replaced the warmth in its absence.
"Felix?"
I opened one eye at the sound of my name. Jenna's worried face was over mine, surrounded by a halo of sunlight. Somewhere I could hear waves crashing and the call of sea birds.
"J-jenna?" I wondered briefly if she had died, too.
"Oh, good," she breathed a sigh of relief. "You're alright. I was really worried, Felix, I really was."
She started crying, and I reached up to brush her tears away. I realized that someone had removed my gloves...
I sat up, so abruptly that Jenna nearly fell over. "...Why am I not dead?"
"Did you really want to die that badly?" I looked to the owner of the voice.
Alex was standing behind me, arms folded, a slightly amused expression on his face. A breeze tugged at his long, unbound blue hair, shorter strands brushing against the porcelain skin of his face and neck.
"A-Alex..."
"Good to see you, too," he smiled, but it never reached his eyes colored like ice. They stayed distant and cold.
"You saved my life."
Sheba's voice caused me to turn around. The young Jupiter Adept was kneeling in front of me, tears of gratitude in her eyes. "Thank you so much, Felix. If you hadn't of saved me..."
I didn't actually know what she was talking about, so I ignored her.
"You must have gotten a hold on Sheba, seen Idejima and swam here," Kraden sounded thoughtful.
Had I? Had I really?
"I don't know, I don't remember anything after..." I trailed off.
They all gave me strange looks, with the exception of Alex who was staring out to sea.
"Where are we?" I changed the subject.
"Idejima, it broke off from Gondowan and started floating," Alex explained. "And it looks like we might just hit land."
Idejima broke off from Gondowan after the Venus Lighthouse was lit...after...Saturos and Menardi had died...
Which meant, I was free...we were all...free...
"And it looks like-"
"Look! It's an island!" Jenna squealed, bouncing up and down and pointing where Alex was looking. "We'll hit it and then we can get off of this stupid place!"
"I think the word you're searching for is 'continent', Jenna," Alex put one hand on my sister's shoulder to calm her down.
"And it looks like we're going to pass to the North of it, anyway," Sheba pointed out.
"I think Sheba's right," Kraden admitted. "We're not going to make it."
"NO!" Jenna yelled, stomping her foot. "No no no no no! I'm NOT staying on this island until we starve to death! We'd better hit that continent or...or..."
"You'll do something drastic?" Alex supplied.
"Yeah! That!"
I stood up, wavered for a moment, then started walking towards Alex. I wanted him to hold me...I wanted to make sure everything was real... "Alex...I..."
And then I froze. There was a wall of water coming at us.
