Chapter 2

There it was.... That mystical rock that levitated in the air above the village. The people stared in wonder and amazement at the sight Then a child ran up and said "Look Mom! A flying rock with an eyeball!!" he was hushed by his mother quickly and pulled to the side. The eye from the floating boulder (He's fun to make fun of HAHA XD) widened then looked around, Everyone watched intently "I come to bring you a message, Since the lighthouses have been lit and Mount Aleph has returned to its former self, The world of Weyward now expands, the beings of this world have all been affected to this change, A new world is being created from an ancient power sealed away.... A word of Warning..... Since Alchemy has finally been released, evil intentions, desires, ambitions will soon come to rise, in this new day in Age, I urge the warriors that unsealed Alchemy, Come forth"

Back at the Inn everyone was outside "Aww crap, he's gonna kill us" Garet groaned and hung his head low only to get pounded on the back of the head by Sheba's fist as she stood on her toes

"D-Don't Say That! You're so negative!!" she said, trying not to think of them being obliterated from the face of the world.

Ivan was also depressed "He'll probably shoot a giant beam at us and vaporize us into little smudges on the gr-OW!" He received a bop on the head from Sheba as well.

"SHUT-UP!" Felix ignored the three's conversation and started walking forward to the Wise One, Soon After Mia followed him along with Kraden, Sheba had to drag the other two reluctant Adepts as they kept making up excuses not to go.

Piers joined up with Isaac and they looked at each other, then at the Wise One and then Piers spoke "Should we go?" after a pause Isaac replied "I don't think we have a choice" he then noticed Jenna up ahead walking up to the Wise One as well Felix and the others behind him and started walking as well. Soon they all joined up as they stopped in front of the Wise Rock.

They stared at him as he hovered above the ground, then averted his eye look at them "As you are already aware, I cannot interfere the will of man, so what I am going to tell you is of your choice whether to accept or deny it."

They all seemed to look at each other then back at the Wise One and nodded "Very well.... This world is being transformed and expanding, along with the elements. You already know this, but as it expands so do new desires of man, some good, others evil. You do remember Alex, correct?"

All nine of them had the same face as they remembered very distinct moments involving him, especially Mia. "He quested for ultimate power for that was his desire, I tell you this for there will be others like him, I came to prepare you with this knowledge, the nine of you are capable protecting this new world reborn. I cannot tell you what exactly that it is you must do only that, you'll know as time passes and you travel all over this world. The decision is yours whether to go or not, Choose Wisely" the Wise One then ascended into the air and slowly vanished from sight.

After the Wise One disappeared all eyes were on the nine heroes. ".... Another Quest given to us again." Isaac said with a sigh

"Does this mean I won't get to eat today?" Kraden frowned, "Oh you and your food" Sheba looked at him slightly annoyed "We're given the option to go on a perilous Journey and you still think about what will be your next plate"

Piers then spoke "He did say we have a choice to do this or not.... What do you guys think?" Jenna looked at the others "Well, evil is something we oppose...."

"And I don't think we have to go at this moment so we can rest now..." Ivan added.

Mia looked to Felix "What do think? Should we go?" She asked him since he leaded before and seemed to make decisive answers to problems.

Felix looked up and though for a moment "..... In four days I'm going East from here.... trouble always seems to begin there... So yes.... those who want to join, I am grateful" as he said this, he turned to them and watched their reaction.

After a moment, Jenna was the first to speak "Well of course I have to come. I'm not sitting back and letting my brother leave me again" she smiled and walked next to Felix who in turn smiled at this.

"Well I have nothing better to do here and it was fun traveling with you all" Sheba joined the group.

"I still haven't seen all of this world outside of Lemuria" Said Piers as he walked up.

"Can't let you have all the fun and sit on my butt in this town" Isaac walked up to Felix and nodded to him, then stood next to Jenna.

"You guys are going to need a healer so I simply can't refuse" Mia smiled and stayed next to Felix which made Felix feel strange, it felt nice, but strange.

"With Alchemy unleashed I can't pass up such knowledge waiting to be discovered" Kraden's sudden change of behavior wasn't much of a surprise as he joined followed by Ivan who only said "I wasn't really planning on doing anything after so why not" Then they all looked at Garet

"....... Oh now C'mon don't look at me like that! Aww fine! I'll go, You'll need some muscles in this team anyway" Everyone smiled and looked at each other.

"Then we should get ready" Felix said as the villagers around them started clapping and cheering them on this.

(Lol Aww those flashbacks. Well anyway, yay Flashbacks are over unless you liked it then aww too bad. ON WITH THE STORY!!!!)

-back to the present-

At the entrance the whole village was waving goodbye to the heroes as some of them hugged their family members as well.

The mayor walked up to them as cleared his throat to get their attention "Although I oppose of letting you young ones (For those who thought I also meant Kraden as a young one.... Play the freaking game :( ... ) go on another journey like this, I suppose that the last quest was none too different for what your doing now, so I hope that we have given you all that you needed for your travels and I wish you a safe journey"

"I'll miss you too grandpa" Garet said hugging the mayor (I'm not a 100% sure, but I believe he was his grandpa... its been while since I played Golden Sun 1) "And don't worry, we're totally capable and handled things like this before" Garet then lets go of him as he clears his throat once again.

"Yes. I am aware of your last odyssey, but it still doesn't mean I'm not concern, you all can always return here whenever you feel the need to, we'll welcome you with open arms." he said as watched Felix and company walk away waving till they were out of site.

-Two hours later-

"Hehe, just like old times. Ey, Isaac" Garet said smiling hand behind his head as Isaac nodded and replied "Yes, though I wouldn't call it old times if we just finished the mission seven days ago" The group were traveling in the fields feeling rather happy now that they would travel together.

"So whats the first place we can go too?" Sheba was curious as she asked this to practically anyone, just then there was an explosion that was way off in the distance infront of them "There's a good start" Piers answered to her.

Felix then started running forwards to the explosion intending to find out what caused it. This caused the others follow close behind. Felix leaped over a creek and up a hill then stopped as he saw a smoldering, smoking crater. Then something was moving in the center of the crater then climbed out of it heading in the opposite direction of Felix who decided to chase after it, as the others were wondering what was going on. Then Mia spoke "Felix! What is that?"

Felix then said "I don't know." the creature upon closer view turned out to be a for legged beast of some kind as it darted into the wood and was being tailed by the group. After a few hundred feet the creature vanished from their sites and they all stopped and looked around "Anyone... see where... that thing went?" Garet said panting as well as some of the others who all shook there heads.

"Man that thing was fast" Ivan said adjusting his shuffled equipment he was carrying

Jenna got a good look around "So..... where are we?" which caused everyone to look around frantically and have a sweat drop "Oh great now were lost" Sheba frowned.

"Well it wasn't like we had a destination to go to in the first place" Kraden said after he caught his breath. "So what do we do now?" Kraden looked at the others.

Mia then thought for a moment "Well seeing as it just reached the afternoon, perhaps we continue East for a while then see how that turns out." She looked around for any objections no one seemed to disagree then she looked at Felix who simply nodded. She smiled then started walking onward as the others followed.

As time rolled by the sun was slowly was moving to the horizon as the sky began to change form a brilliant blue to a radiant orange. It was then decided by everyone that they stop and set up camp for the night, Felix and Isaac used their psynergy to form large sturdy dome tents from the Earth. Garet and Jenna gathered firewood and put them in in a pile then made a pit and started a fire. Mia and Kraden cooking dinner as Piers, Sheba, and Ivan were putting the Rations and supplies in the air suspended by rope.

"Hey Felix can I ask you something?" Isaac said as they both sat down after making the tents. Felix looked to him giving him the go-ahead. "That time when that boulder came down on you, your parents and my father... those three years of being gone.... Why didn't you ever return to Vale? I mean I know that you had to stay with Agatio and Karst to save your parents, but why didn't you ever find a way to let us know you were still alive"

Felix then turned his head toward the sky "......... I didn't want anyone of you to get involved..."

"involved?" Isaac wondered. Not to far off Mia was close by listening to the whole conversation but the two were unaware of her presence.

Felix continued "I.... hoped to find a way get home with my parents (God why am I so forgetful? Was Isaac's dad held captive with the Felix parents too... Aw you know what till I'm convinced otherwise I'll say he is.... Stupid memory being all lame on me *pouts* ) and your father home without getting my sister or you and Garet endanger" He paused for a moment Mia felt sad for Felix "But fate seemed to have other plans not only did you, Garet and my sister got sucked into all of this, so did Kraden, Ivan, Sheba, Piers, and Mia... now I want to make sure that nothing happens to her"

"Her?" Isaac raised an eyebrow. At this Mia was interested

Felix realized what he said then blushed a little "I-I mean you all" he said

Isaac then smirked "I'm not so sure, about that... it seemed you were thinking on a certain someone in this group" This annoyed Felix who turned redder, and even gave Mia pink cheeks as she thought "C-certain someone?... Who could that be?"

"You should talk" Felix replied

"What do you mean?" Isaac looked at him

"What about you and Jenna" Felix smiled, Isaac was now the one with the red face. "S-Shut-up" Felix felt he one the battle

Mia stifled a giggle "I better head back and get dinner ready before they spot me" she decided and snuck away unnoticed.

-30 minutes later-

There was a large pot hung over the fire as the contents inside was boiling and being stirred around slowly by Kraden "Alright, Dinner is ready!" When Kraden said this everyone started gathering to the fire. "Thank you Mia for helping me with this, What is this soup, by the way?"

"Oh just a traditional soup from Imil" She said modestly.

"Well it is exquisite" he said getting two bowls for himself and trotting off happily Mia giggled glad to make him happy. Once everyone had their bowl she she got her bowl as well and decided to go sit next to Felix.

"Good evening, Mia" Felix seemed to always feel more comfortable when Mia was next to him so he would smile warmly

"Good Evening, Felix" She returned the smile since she also enjoyed being with him as well. "How is your soup?"

He swallowed a spoonful and had a satisfied smile which showed that he finds the soup delicious. Mia smiled at his expression and felt happy she made him smile with her soup. Then had some of it herself.

They both continued eating in silence just enjoying each others company for a while. The others seemed to be striking up a conversation about the Colloso in Tolbi and how Isaac was in it.

After a while Mia looked at Felix then back to her bowl as if trying to decide something in her mind Felix caught wind of this then looked at her "Something troubling you?" he asked

Mia stiffened up when he suddenly spoke then decided to ask "Um... well... I was wondering... Have you ever had a day when you... truly relaxed?"

At This Felix raised an eyebrow "Truly relaxed?"

She looked at her soup now stirring it around with her spoon "Well... I mean you've always been leading us, trying to make the best decisions, trying to make sure you can help everyone... Doesn't that wear you down after awhile?" She then returned her gaze at him.

For a while he was silent... then he spoke "I can't say that I ever had" he looked onward "I guess I never gave myself the chance to"

Mia frowned at this "Oh.... I see" They were both silent for a while not looking at each other then Mia broke the silence "Well maybe....when we reach the next town... we stay there and just... have fun?" she suggested "Maybe... we can have fun together" she looked away hiding her blush

Felix looked the other direction since he too was red in the face "...... I s-suppose so" he rubbed the back of his head then they both smiled they both jumped hearing a red faced Jenna chase after Kraden for some reason.

"It was just a suggestion!" Kraden tried to justify himself

"A suggestion you don't say out loud!!" everyone else seemed to laugh and Felix and Mia decided not to ask for details then they looked at the show and each other and started laughing a little too.

Once everyone had there fill everyone picked a tent and got ready for bed. "Goodnight everyone" Felix said before he headed into his tent everyone said goodnight to him and to each other as well before they turned in.

From way in the distance they were being watched from the treetops by a figure..... after a while he jumped down... then from behind him the four legged creature The group ran after appeared behind him. "It seems things will get interesting from here on out, Sasha" he petted the creatures head as its eyes seemed to glow in the night.
