Okay, just so you know:
English is not my mother tongue. But I wanted to reach a wider readership, so I decided on writing this fanfic in English. In addition it has been years since I last wrote a fanfiction or anything like it. Just wrote some P&P RPG, but never sth real FF like. So I hope my expression is not as horrible as I think it will turn out. I'll give my best to avoid extreme mistakes in grammar and such, but can't promise that.
About the fanfiction: It is supposed to focus on Nowell. And for most of the story her brother will be around. And of course Kraden that old man.. yeah... This chapter is more written from their father's point of view, but I think this is okay, cause I really wanted to include him a bit.
It has been 27 years since the mercury lighthouse had regained its true form. A long time ago, the town south from this majestic ancient building had been only a village. A village that often experienced hard and cold winters. On some days in winter there was no sunlight to be seen. The amount of long warm summer days counted only a few. In fact, the weather hadn't really changed at all through all the years.
But after the Golden Sun released the long away sealed energy on all over the world known as Weyard this cold and unfriendly region had changed. It changed a lot. Of course, there were monsters in the beginning. They were strong and frightened travellers in the beginning. But there was something, something very unique about the lighthouse and Imil, that motivated people from all across the world to visit the snowy regions around the lighthouse.
Imil by now had grown. There were a lot more houses and families started living here. Not only young families, but old long married couples began to start a new life in Imil. Despite the cold weather it promised something to its citizens, that no other place could. Health.
When the light appeared first on the mercury lighthouse, people could not believe their eyes. The old ancient spring of the lighthouse came back to life. It was filled with water that would cure every disease. It ceased the pain and aided the ones in need.
This water was the reason, why citizens of Imil never died in pain, but because their lifetime was over. It is said, that ever since the water appeared, people did not cry as much about their dead beloved ones, as before. It is said, that the souls of the dying people in Imil truly are the luckiest ones.
Though it was common for tourists and travellers to stop by and drink from the ancient well, there were only a few who had access to the lighthouse itself. To say it precisely, there were three. Those three were the last remaining members of Imil's Mercury tribe.
Psynergy had become a lot more common in Weyard than it was before, but it still depended on the region were you lived, how adepts were treated. A lot of people had reasons to see a threat in that mystic power. But in Imil Psynergy and its users were highly respected. As they were able to heal people's wounds and pain and they had access to the lighthouse, it was just likely, that the oldest of the three adepts was a priestess.
But not only that. The young looking woman with blue hair and gentle eyes was also known as one of the Warriors of Vale. Mia has already passed the 40 year mark and still, she looked so much younger than her true age. This was one of the reasons, why she was seen as some sort of saint in Imil. Even before she started her journey with Isaac, Garet and Ivan, she had guarded the lighthouse, studied psynergy, lectured younger kids and of course she helped the ill and weak ones. And in all the years guarding the lighthouse and helping the the townspeople, it had been of course unavoidable, that she had fallen in love with a man.
This guy was considered the luckiest guy in Weyard by the citizens. Mia was the personification of what was considered as „the perfect wife". Her husband's name was Noah. He wasn't an adept, but he knew a lot about psynergy and was always fascinated by those great powers the adepts held. He started business in Imil twenty years ago and after lots of effort, he finally managed to date Mia. The problem with taking Mia on a date was not, that she didn't like him or dates at all, it was more the problem, that every time they tried to agree on time and location, Mia had lots of stuff to do and it was a real miracle to Noah, that they managed to meet each other, just the two of them, at all. Well, their first date lied back years from now and their little family had recieved some new members. Nowell and Rief were both water adepts and looked a lot like their mother.
Noah often thought, that the Psynergy-Gene must be very dominant. He always wondered, which of his kids was more like his wife. They shared lots of characteristics but then again, they seemed to be really different from Mia. Maybe they got at least the "personality-genes" of his side of the family.
