.; I just noticed that I spelt "Menardi" wrong from the last chapters. I just added an R, so I'm not going to change it from the last chapters; I'll just spell it correctly next time.
I don't own Golden Sun. So? It's not like any Golden Sun fic writer owns Golden Sun, anyway. If I were to own Golden Sun, I'd make a prequel… like this story, ah, well, in this chapter Luke commands his new group… kind of. Well, I hope you enjoy this story. (And thanks for the positive reviews!) The next story will be about Jenna, Isaac, and Garet. Two boys fighting for a girl… well, not really… just plain life in Vale.

Chapter Four: Wish Well…
For the whole day, the clan stayed on the same area, playing games or just relaxing. Mia kept on admiring Alex's present. The creature stopped glowing. It has light blue skin, like Alex's eyes, yellow eyes, like jewels, and a pink tail with a pincer on the end, which made Mia suspected it was a mutated crab. Though Alex said Fizz was a mercury djinni, she didn't have the slightest clue what a mercury djinni was. A healing crab? Mia didn't know, nor cared. Alex commented loudly on how Luke was worried about how he'll accept so much responsibility. Of course, Luke was acting differently. He wasn't talking to Alex; he just sat on the huge boulder, and looked at the cloud formations. This got Alex curious, because like him, everyone knew him to be an annoying loudmouth. Mia thought Alex was jealous of Luke's promotion, though Mia couldn't see why the remaining clan members chose Luke as a leader.
"So, Luke, what are you doing?" Alex crawled onto the boulder, and sat next to Luke. "Staring into space?"
"Mmm," Luke said, barely paying attention to Alex.
"Yea, I do that when I'm worried," Alex joked. "Say, doesn't that cloud look like a hand?"
"Mmm."
"… Luke, are you listening to me?" Alex waved his hand in front of Luke's face.
"Oh, Alex, what do you want?" Luke looked toward Alex.
"It's about time you start paying attention to me!" Alex scowled.
"Sorry, geez, can't I have time alone?" Luke seemed annoyed. Alex frowned, and got off the rock.
"Well, Mia, how are you today?" Alex smiled broadly at Mia, which warmed her insides. She beamed back, and moved her bangs away from her eyes.
"I'm fine," Mia said. Since the conversation was getting no where, she asked about Fizz. "What is Fizz, Alex? I mean, what is a mercury djinni?"
Alex hopped on the boulder, next to Mia. "I honestly don't know. Fizz, what are you?"
Fizz looked at Alex, and tilted his head. "That was a horribly rude question, Alex…" Mia forced a laugh.
"Umm, sorry, Fizz… would you be so kind to tell us what your … purpose on earth is?" Alex asked. Though Fizz had no visible mouth, his face fell.
"I am a mercury djinni. I guard the Mercury Star, but I've been released by thieves!" Fizz began jumping on Mia's lap. Alex and Mia both caught each other's eyes, and tried not to laugh. They decided not to question Fizz anymore.

Night fell, and the clan had the most fun in a long time. Luke was still watching the sky, and finally stopped staring into space to eat more apples. Mia sat next to Luke, and handed him another apple.
"Thanks Mia," Luke sighed. He slowly bit into his apple.
"So, what are your plans for our clan?" Mia said.
"Hmm, I dunno. I'm thinking about settling down in a town that would accept seven nomads," Luke chuckled dryly.
"We aren't nomads! We have a home…" Mia said.
"Yea, Crib was awesome, I would have gone back if that damned forest wasn't there. Besides, I don't know where Crib is," Luke remarked. "We'll find a new 'crib,' 'kay, Mia?"
"Sure," Mia stared at the plain landscape sadly. She could visualize 'crib' perfectly; it was a small village with snow covered rooftops, and nothing but snow and bare branched trees out in the landscape. Mia never imagined leaving her home, until Erik dragged her out of 'crib' to go somewhere else. Now, that Erik is dead, where will they go?
"Well, we're heading north tomorrow. Hopefully we can find an abandoned village, or some place to rest," Luke finally said. He laid down on the rock. "Have a nice day, Mia… relax…"
Mia looked sadly at her brother. Respect from her grew for him, now that he wasn't picking on younger children. Was it because of everyone that died? Probably. Mia sighed, and rested her head on the hard boulder. She unlatched her cloak, and used it as a pillow.
"Mmpphh… Mia! You're squishing me!" A muffled cry came from Mia's cloak. Mia immediately got up, and sleepily got Fizz out of her inside cloak pockets. Fizz jumped around Mia's cloak, trying to find the softest place.
---
"Wake up, Mia." Someone was shaking Mia. Her bones were aching, and she remained lying down.
"Mmm, goway," Mia said in her cloak.
"Mia!" it voice grew clearer. It was Lars.
Mia opened her eyes, and turned around. "Can't a girl get some sleep after a tiring day?"
"Yesterday wasn't tiring at all! In fact, you barely walked; you just stayed on that boulder and didn't budge. We're going north today!" Lars put his hands on his hips.
"Here, let me handle this," Fizz jumped onto Mia's body. "DOUSE!" water poured onto Mia's body.
"Fizz, damn it!" Mia yelled. She got up and put her wet cloak on. "Okay, let's go then!"
"About time, Mia," Bill said.
Luke gave a pained looked to Mia. "Well, then, let's head north of this open area. We'll be sure to find some interesting things."
Mia followed Luke. The trek was uneventful, except for several kids complaining. Mia couldn't help complaining either, so she stood as far away from Luke as possible. Fizz suddenly yelled and attacked Mia with a douse attack.
"Fizz, god damn it, what the hell is your problem?" Mia yelled in rage. She attempted to kick the djinni, but failed; Fizz had more agility. The children immediately stopped complaining laughed at Mia chasing the djinni.
"Mia, stop loafing around and catch up with us! I ordered Fizz to douse you," Luke called out to Mia. Mia's face was totally an opposite color of her eyes and hair. Mia slowly walked toward the clan, clutching Fizz by its tail.
"Mia, let go of me! Mia!" Fizz whined. Mia gritted her teeth, and gripped his tail harder.
"Hey! Mia, that didn't tickle!" Fizz was struggling to get out of her hand.
---
After a long trek, they finally reached a city. Bill ran in front of Luke and read the sign slowly.
"Kolima... so, this place is Kolima!" Bill said brightly.
"You're right, sport. I hope they have a big inn," Luke walked in the town, looking around. The houses were trees, and several people outside who were making things out of wood stared strangely at the clan.
Luke beamed at everyone. "Umm, excuse me, this is Kolima, right?"
Several people nodded slowly, eyeing all the clan members.
"Do you guys have an inn?"
A man with padded gloves on pointed at a large tree with the words "inn" embossed above the door. Luke nodded.
"Heh, silly me, I should have seen that…" Luke waved merrily at the workers, and signaled the clan members to follow him.
"So, how much would seven people cost?" Luke asked the manager at the counter. He eyed the clan members weirdly.
"We don't pay by the people. We pay by the rooms," The manager said. "I'm guessing you are all family, so…" he chuckled. "You all can share one room, mm?"
Luke looked at everyone. "Not exactly… well, any of you guys willing to share rooms with someone?"
"I can share a room with Bill. I mean, Bill can't sleep in a room by himself," Bill's mom remarked. Bill made a funny face.
"What do you mean, mom? I'm a big kid now!" Bill puffed out his chest.
"We need to spare as much money as we can. About three people to a room will do. Can you guys please volunteer?" Luke took out a small bag, and counted the coins in them. "I'd appreciate it."
"… I guess I'll share a room with you, Luke," Mia finally said.
"Thank you Mia. The rest of you can share a room!" Luke withdrew the correct amount of money from his bag, and placed it on the counter. Luke walked upstairs, reading the key the manager gave him.
"5A…" Luke said. "Mia, help me find a 5A… ah, never mind, here it is!" Luke stood in front of a wooden door, beaming. Alex's room the across from theirs, and Mia could hear muffled yelling between Alex and Megan.
"Well, here it is!" Luke opened the door, and Mia stepped in. The room was dark. It had two small cots, one in the corner of where the only window was, and one almost directly in front of them. Besides the beds, there was a dirty carpet on the ground, a fire place near the bed in front of them, and a small table.
"Pfeh, what a waste of money," Mia scoffed. Luke smiled weakly.
"Well, it's better than camping outside, right?"
"No."
Luke smiled. "Well, I guess it's better than nothing…"
"Nothing is sleeping outside, Luke…"
"Ah, well, since there aren't refunds, we'll live with it."
"Mmm… do they serve us food?"
"They do have a restaurant free of charge for customers. Want to check it out?"
"I hope the food will cover how cheap our room is," Mia rolled her eyes.
Luke ignored Mia's comment, and went up the stairs, which got hot as they went higher. There, they met a young man, with a miserable frown on his face. The man had dirty blonde hair and brilliant green eyes. He was roasting meat on a stove. Luke helped himself to one of the few chairs, and waited patiently.
"What do you want?" The man said, without looking at Luke or Mia.
"Umm, what do you serve?" Luke asked.
The man chuckled dryly. "Haha, meat, meat, and more meat. We also have raw vegetables, if you want," The man used his hand to fan his face.
"… Why don't you cook the vegetables?" Mia asked. Her stomach was getting a little queasy. How can she trust the man with his 'meat,' and raw vegetables?
"Ha, dunno how to prepare 'em. Once I tried preparin' some eggplant, and it poisoned a customer," he chuckled again. "That's why I'm willin' to keep up with a job like this,"
Luke and Mia exchanged dark looks.
"You know, Mia, why don't we look around Kolima? I'm not that hungry, anyway… so, maybe we can eat later!" Luke suddenly got off his chair, and went quickly down the stairs. Mia quickly followed Luke.
---
"Ugh, what a horrible place!" Alex complained. He was walking around the Kolima woods with Megan and Lars. "They too went to the restaurant intending to eat, and left with empty stomachs.
"Indeed, maybe we can find some nuts in their forest?" Lars suggested. Alex nodded.
"Well, it's better than eating raw vegetables…"
"Yep, and I'm hungry!" Megan complained. When they advanced toward the woods, they heard hacking noises.
"What's that?" Megan whimpered.
"Dunno… maybe they're cutting down trees to make their statues. Maybe…" Alex shrugged.
"I hope their artwork is better than their cheap services," Lars remarked.
Apparently, Alex was right. Several men were cutting down huge trees, and stacking them near a small river.
"They don't appreciate life, do they? Being even a tree is blessed, you are presented with the gift of life, and they neglect that…" Lars grumbled.
"Many people neglect that, Lars. They do this to earn a living. Besides, even if we wanted to stop them, how will we?" Alex said.
"Lars, stop acting so grumpy," Megan scolded.
"Yea, Lars."
"Hey, what the hell are you guys doin' here?" a man noticed them discussing.
"We came here…" Lars nudged Alex.
"We came here to… inspect," Alex said quickly. Lars gave him a pained look.
"Yea, we came to see if your… trees were healthy enough to produce fine wood for your craftsmanship," Megan said.
"Go on…" the man suddenly stopped. He rested his arms on his axe's hilt.
"We already inspected these trees earlier today. We're looking at the ones deeper in the forest," Megan said.
The man nodded. "Okay, as long as you don't disturb the holy tree," he said, and went back to work.
Once they went deeper in the forest, Lars burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, a 'holy' tree? These Kolimians are weird… I mean, a 'holy' tree, when they cut down other trees? Give me a break!" Lars sneered.
"Well, if the holy tree bears nuts, we'll disturb it. Besides, what is the holy tree?" Alex shrugged.
"Hmm, I wonder how the other clan members are doing. Do you think they ate anything from he inn?" Megan suddenly said.
"Meh, I doubt it. Besides, they aren't that dumb… maybe Luke's an exception," Alex replied.
"It seems Alex is a little jealous of Luke…" Lars smiled.
"Jealous? Me? Ha, gimme a break," Alex tried to fake the pitch of his voice.
"Well… oh my god…" Megan was gaping at a tree.
"So? It's a tree? Big whoop—" the tree Megan was gaping at had… a face!
"It's the holy tree, I bet," Lars said. Even he looked surprised.
"Holy tree? No… Tret's the one Kolimians call the 'Holy Tree.' The Kolimians do respect me though…" the tree breathed in.
"I sense great powers in you, young man…" the tree's eyes fixed on Alex's face. "I am Laurel… if you want to see Tret, go ahead… just walk due north a little."
The tree of them walked toward Tret. He looked a lot older that Laurel, and he gazed sadly at Alex.
"You are going to grow up to be a powerful man… yet you'll… abuse your powers…" Tret said as soon as they reached him. Alex gazed at Lars and Megan weirdly.

Making Kolima sound bad, huh? Well, sorry this chapter was short… and somewhat odd. I was waiting to write about Isaac and Garet, teehee. ^^
