Prologue one:
Preface
Long ago, or so the legends tell, the Power of Alchemy ruled over the World of Weyard. Alchemy wrought the base Elements of Humanity into thriving civilisations, like Lead into Gold. However, in time, the Dreams of man gave birth to greed, which brought forth untold strife. Dreams of endless riches, of eternal life, of Domination over all that lived…
Dreams of Conquest, and of War.
These Dreams would have torn Weyard apart at the seams, if not for a few brave and wise men, who sealed away the power of Alchemy deep within the Sol Sanctum of Mt Aleph in the form of the four Elemental Stars, the crystalised essence of the very elements that were the basis of Alchemy, and the basis of all life.
With the Sealing of the Elemental Stars, the elemental lighthouses were exstinguished, and Alchemy was locked away from the hands of man, and putting an end to the war nd strife that had plagued the world for years. Thus goes the legends that have circled our world for generations.
Years have past to centuries, the age of Alchemy lost, even the details of the legends have become more and more vague with each retelling. Even I, a trained Alchemy Sage, cannot hope to even begin to comprehend all the wonders of that time, even from the few remains that have survived the passage of time. However, not all has been lost from that time of Alchemy. Its legacy left behind, not only in the ruins of the lost civilisations, but in the form of Adepts, people born with the ability to wield what we have come to call 'Psynergy', a power that has basis in Alchemy. However, through my research I have come to conclude that this power, which had once been abundant, now gifts so few over the world, its strength, diminishing. But for the peace that has settled over the world, it was a sacrifice that was easily born, and Alchemy has become little more than legend, its seal remaining unchallenged and unbroken.
The Elemental Stars, myth has it, still reside within the Sol Sanctum, hidden from all, protected by one of the few places left in all of Weyard with users of Psynergy, residing beneath Mt Aleph. The Village of Vale.
For the Longest time, the legends of Alchemy had been only that, a legend, stories, the hopes of Alchemy sages like myself. I only had theories and dreams. Little did I, or anyone else know how much the legends were true, that our lives would become entwined with Alchemy once more, and that, in my own lifetime, what had once been mere legend, would become a reality and that the Golden sun would once again shine down upon our world…..

Chosha's Notes
Hey Adepts! Yes, you guessed it! Welcome to the Novelisation of Golden Sun, one of my all time favourite game series! I've seen some of these around, but I haven't yet found a finished one, nor one that really explores the characters that much, so I thought that I would jump on the band wagon and do one of my own since I've fallen in love with the game all over again. Please note I will be playing this game as I'm writing this story (for the 100th time I might add) just for descriptions sake and so I can get the dialogue. Since it is a game novelisation, you will find a lot of game dialogue appearing here, but it will also have a lot of new dialogue – since Isaac doesn't speak in the first game, so it will also include Isaac's input and conversations that happen between the main storyline.
Yes, I know this chapter is short. But don't worry, from here on out, my chapters will be very long. This was just the prelude, so to speak.
Anyway, please comment. Constructive criticism aloud, flaming….well, just say that I'll get Garet to burn all flaming. (yes there are differences between Faming and constructive criticism.
Anyway, parings….there won't be any obvious parings, and I will only be hinting at them if the game Hints at them. So don't expect lovey dovey scenes. True I'll be exploring the characters, but not to the point of anything more than platonic relationships unless I do a fanfic based after the two main Golden Sun Games. Oh, and before you ask, yes, I'll be doing The Lost Age as well.
Until next time,
May your roots dig deep and your branches reach high,
