Garet:HEEY! (Glares at Kay)

Kay: The truth hurts I know.

Do7: Rofl. Anyways on with the story

Chapter 2: Unexpected visitors of the night

That night, Garet, clad in his armor with his dark sword strapped on his back, got all his things together: a sack containing several vials, potions, nuts, antidotes, some water of life, elixirs, Psynergy crystals, a bag of coins, and a map of Weyard.

As he was leaving his room, he noticed the pictures he had in his room. The pictures were of him and everyone on their adventure, a picture of him and Isaac, a picture of his family, and a picture of Mia. Garet picked up the picture of Mia, remembering when he took the photo of her while she wasn't paying attention. Sliding the picture from its frame, he folded it delicately and pocketed it as he left the room.

Scribbling a quick note for his family, Garet headed out silently. Approaching the main gate, the young warrior passed by Isaac's house and stared sadly, but momentarily at it:

"Sorry Isaac," he said forcing his legs forward "But this is something I need to do on my own."

It didn't take long for Garet to reach the town entrance and he cast a final, forlorn look at the village.

"Goodbye everyone, I'll see you guys when I get back."

"So you're really leaving?"

Garet scratched his head and turned to see his older sister Kay along with his younger brother Aaron, standing sentinel before the gate. He didn't expect to run into anyone, but he knew better than to lie to either of them.

"That's the idea. Look I'm sorry but I can't stay here not when I do more harm than good. I don't know exactly where my answer lies, but I'll find it."

Aaron quickly lowered his head, feeling the tears starting to well up inside him. Garet once again was leaving him behind. How could he do this to him? It wasn't fair and it wasn't right.

"It's not fair..." He said quietly.

"What?"

"I said it's not fair!" Aaron yelled angrily as he brought his head up. "How can you be so selfish and blind! Your place is with the people that love you and care for you! What about mom and dad? They don't think of your useless! What are we supposed to do all the nights when mom cries over you! What about the other; what about am I supposed to tell Isaac, huh? What about Mia, does she deserve this?"

Those comments tore Garet up inside. He didn't want to leave any of them especially Mia. Aaron, however, was far from finished.

"What about Kay, did you consider her feelings? W-What about me!?" Aaron yelled managing to choke out the word as a small puddle started to form down under him.

"I had to stay strong because you asked me to look after the family, but I was hurting too! I remember all the times when everyone was quiet in the house, I remember the nights when we cried over you. Then you came back, that's when I thought everything would go back to normal; and it did slowly but surely it did. Now you want to leave us again, and put us through grief that we had to endure the last time you left."

Garet quickly looked towards Kay only to see that tears were falling from her eyes as well.

"You may not see yourself as all that great but we see you as something more!" Aaron went on, his teeth gnashed together. He was desperately trying to fight back the tears that continued to fall from the side, but it was no use; he was in too much pain, and the tears continued to fall.

Garet walked up to his brother and pulled him in a warm hug.

"I'm sorry Aaron I had no idea that I put you through so much. I entrusted to look after the family because I knew it was gonna be tough on them. I didn't consider your feelings and for that I am truly sorry. Last time I had no choice to leave, but this time I have to leave in order to find my purpose. I'm sure you will understand when you get older. "

Aaron slowly nodded from under him "What about Isaac and Mia?

Garet heavily sighed "Isaac, I'm sure, will come around, as for Mia…Well let's just say I'm doing this for her as well as myself" Garet confessed.

"If you see her tell her…I had to do this, and tell the others not to bother looking for me either. I know this is tough, but I'm asking you to look after the family one more time for me while I'm gone. Can you do that for me?"

"You can count on me Garet" Aaron looked at his brother and smiled determined not to let his brother down. With that Garet rubbed his brother's head, and went to talk to his sister.

"Hey, will you be alright?"

"I should be asking you that."

"Don't worry sis I'll be fine."

"You better be if something happened to you I...I..." She quickly turned around wrapping her arms around her brother, and holding him tightly "Just come back to us safely okay?"

Garet nodded his head.

"Oh before you go we thought you might want to take some things with you"

A small bag was thrust into his hands and, to Garet's immense surprise upon opening it, found many of the Utility Psynergy that they'd used on their previous journey.

"Where did you get this?"

"Isn't it obvious? When Aaron told me what you told him, I figured you might need some equipment to take with you, so I asked the others if I could borrow them."

"Oh, well…thanks"

"You take care of yourself and comeback to us in one piece you hear me?" Kay looked at Garet with an intense look.

"Okay, okay I'll be back" said Garet. With his new gear equipped he cast one last looked back at the others "Well I'm off. I'll see you guys when I get back!"

"Don't push yourself too hard okay?" called Aaron.

"Garet, don't drink the water if it smells funny!" shouted Kay.

Garet did not respond to the good natured heckling from his siblings but merely inhaled deeply and continued on into the night.

"We better return home before anyone finds out we are gone, besides it's way past your bedtime." Kay said looking down at her youngest sibling.

"You're right we better get moving." Aaron said in agreement before running back home, leaving Kay to look at the main gate one last time.

"Garet…please be careful, and come back to us safely." Kay quietly prayed as she followed her younger brother running back towards their home.

A/N: Wow I did two chapters in one day man I'm on fire! I'm a lot more happy with this chapter more than I am with the previous one, it looks longer so that's a good start. Well Garet has left Vale to start on his grand journey leaving his family and friends behind. Next chapter I'm gonna do a tie-in. It will go from Garet to the others in Vale when they find out he left. Btw I am well aware that cameras probably didn't exist at the time, but just bare with me. That picture will plays apart of Garet's motivation. Yes Garet loves Mia in this fic, and yes I am a huge Steamshipper. Once again please enjoy the chapter, and leave any comments, I enjoy feedback.
