Chapter 1: Reflecting life on the hill top
It was a peaceful evening in New Vale; a young fire adept was lying down on top of a hill on the outskirts of town. It's been only a year since Garet and the others saved Weyard from disaster, and now things have been quiet and peaceful. The people of New Vale were celebrating the newly finished construction, everyone except him.
Garet lay, there, watching the setting sun and questioning himself about his significance to the others during their adventure and during the reconstruction. He tried to think of something positive he did with the others, but all he could think of is how much of a screw up he was, and how he got the others in one situation to another.
Garet sighed and continued to watch the sun until he heard a familiar voice call him.
"Hey big brother, what are you doing up here all by yourself?" his little brother Aaron asked plopping down next to him.
"Oh, nothing much, just thinking that's all," Garet replied distracted.
"Everyone in town is celebrating; how come you aren't down there with the others?" Aaron asked curiously.
"I just needed some time to think that's all. What?" Garet demanded, noting the look of surprise on his brother's face.
"Well for starters, you're not one to miss a party, and second you are thinking."
Garet chuckled "I suppose you got me there"
The two brothers laughed for a second and then it got silent once again. It was several moments before Aaron spoke again, again, questioning.
"Big brother what's bothering you? I'm not used to seeing you down like this."
Garet sighed and sat back up "It's just lately, I've been wondering if I'm really useful to anyone. This has been on my mind for quite a while now."
Aaron looked at his brother in bewilderment "What are you talking about? Of course you're useful Garet everyone knows that."
Garet smiled sadly "Thanks, but I just don't feel that way"
"Well you're a good teacher, training and teaching me all those different types of Psynergy."
"Yeah well half the time I am teaching you, I either get you in trouble, or cause the problem. Remember the time I tried to teach you Flare?"
Aaron remembered that day too well. During the reconstruction of New Vale, Garet tried to teach his brother the fire magic but resulted in the destruction of Kay's flower garden. He shuddered, remembering Garet's fiercely bloodied nose; he himself was left, bound very tightly to a tree all night long, hungry and humiliated.
"Good thing, Issac was quick enough to think of using his Earth Djinn Vine and Flower to grow Kay a new flower garden."
"That's exactly my point!" cried Garet "Besides Jenna and Isaac did a better job with teaching you the basic moves."
"What about the time when you guys were rebuilding the plaza?"
"Aaron rebuilding the plaza took longer than it should have due to me being careless" Garet replied miserably, recalling several holes in the tops of several houses that Isaac had go over and fix. He let out a sigh of frustration. "It happens every time, I end up screwing up. I did this countless of times on our adventure. I didn't do anything special, even when I was the only fire adept in the group. And even when we joined with Felix's group, Jenna was more useful than I was for the team."
"All I am is brawn and no brains. I was insignificant during our quest, just as I was insignificant rebuilding our home. I feel like I don't belong here when all I ever do more harm than good. "
Aaron wanted to say something, but there really wasn't anything he could say. After deciding it was time to return home an hour later, Garet's gaze hardened and his mind made up:
He was going to leave Vale in order to find his purpose in life.
A/N: Well this is my first fanfic. I am so happy to post this. To be honest I am a little disappointed that this chapter is so short, considering how long it took me to type this. I have to admit this is harder than I thought it would be. I just need to get used to the settings and what not. Anyways these first few chapters might start up slowly, but I assure you I will get into the good stuff later on. Sorry for the spelling errors, frags, etc. I would appreciate some heavy feedback in order for me to improve.
