-----------------------------
The Lemurian ship cut easily through the vast expanse of water in the ocean, creating a whitish foam on the sides of the ship. A lone figure gazed at the water, apparently lost in thought. His yellow cape billowed in the breeze created by the cruising ship. The moon illuminated his lean figure, outlining the Sol Blade in its wiry and intricately designed scabbard. He wore just a blue tunic with red stripes, having discarded his armor in his room below the deck. His left hand held the railing of the mahogany ship, and his right hand hovered over a black orb, and telekinetic waves seemed to shoot from random parts of the tips of his fingers, and the orb seemed to feed off of this energy, powering the boat.
Isaac stared at the ocean's ripples caused by the disturbance of the ship. The ocean looked very similar to the one he so desired. Mia. She was as the ocean was, strong and unyielding one moment, caring and gentle the next. He remembered the time he met her in Imil. They were attempting to climb to the Mercury Lighthouse Aerie, when they found her engaged in fierce combat with a beast not normally found in the lighthouse. At the time, Isaac, Garet and Ivan easily defeated it with their superior strength and numbers, and they continued onwards. They helped Mia on a few of the puzzles along the way with their psynergy, and she decided that they could be trusted, and joined their party.
Since then, they had traveled everywhere, from Lemuria to Hesperia, from Prox to Lalivero, and all four of the elemental lighthouses. He and his three comrades had faced countless battles and surmounted thousands of desperate situations. They all had formed an extremely strong bond with each other, and that was only reinforced when Felix, Sheba, Jenna and Picard joined them. They had saved the world from imminent destruction by lighting all four of the lighthouses. Yet, Isaac still felt there was a void in his life. Gazing at the ocean, he know knew what it was. Someone to care for, someone to care for him. He knew Jenna had a crush on him, but Isaac had his thoughts elsewhere. During all of these travels, Isaac had never summoned up enough courage to tell Mia how he felt. After all, she probably liked Picard more, or just wasn't ready for him.
Isaac cast about wearily. Powering the ship from the black orb required a lot of psynergy, especially at night, when you were usually sleepy. They were traveling back to Vale after lighting the Mars lighthouse. The wise one had warned them of the Golden Sun's rising in Vale, and that Alex would be there to claim it.
Judging from the moon's position in the sky, it appeared to be past midnight. A slight rustling sound pulled him back from his musings, and he spun around to see who it was.
Mia stood there, wrapped in just one layer of her robes, instead of the usual three. Her bare arms lay exposed, and the wind was blowing her sapphire hair eastward. Her robes accented her curves, and her aquamarine eyes radiated calmness and serenity. Isaac tried not to think too much about her attire as he walked over to her.
"Are you okay, Isaac? You look exhausted."
"No, I'm fine. Are you ready for your shift?"
"Of course. Go get some rest before you pass out from exhaustion"
"Mia.."
"Yes?"
A huge rumbling sound cut Isaac off from what he was about to say. The Lemurian ship was jerked around by the movement of a dark shape swimming towards them. The ship began to tilt towards the left. Mia lost her balance and was sent careening across the ship's deck, but Isaac caught her with wide-open arms.
"Thanks." She panted heavily, having her breath taken from the force of the impact, and clung to Isaac.
"No problem". Feeling Mia press into him, he held her closer to him. As if on cue, the dark shape began to surface just as Mia hugged him.
"Great timing", Isaac grumbled.
Releasing his grip on Mia, he brandished his Sol Blade, its light pulsing in the moonlit darkness. The shape reared it ugly head, and it turned out to be a Kraken. However, it wasn't the usual Kraken. This one was black instead of red, and it had green blotches splashed over its skin. It blasted a stream of water at Isaac, but he managed to jump out of the way.
"Go call the others, Mia!"
"But, Isaac! I can't just lea-"
"No buts, Mia. Go!"
Mia darted quickly to the end of the ship and rushed down the staircase. Meanwhile, Isaac was battling the oversized squid.
"Megiddo!"
The sky lit up with the Sol Blade's light, and Isaac watched as the ball of pure light collided with the Kraken. When the light subsided, the Kraken still stood unfazed. Even his mightiest physical attack barely scratched the giant octopus's skin.
Meanwhile, Mia dashed to Jenna's room, but stopped when she saw Garet kissing Jenna, arms wrapped around her in a tight embrace.
"Am I walking into something important?"
"Mia! We were..uh..practicing CPR!", Garet spluttered out.
Mia smirked at his impromptu attempt to cover up while both of them blushed as red as vine-ripe tomatoes. A sudden shout of "Megiddo", reminded Mia of her original purpose.
"Megiddo? Is Isaac training or someth-". Jenna was cut off as the ship was sent reeling from the Kraken's onslaught.
"There's your answer. Go get the rest of the party, now!"
Jenna and Garet hurried down the corridor of the lower deck, while Mia darted in the opposite direction.
Isaac's forehead was covered in beaded sweat. This is no ordinary monster, he thought.
"Stone Spire!"
Gigantic shards of rock rained down on the octopus, and it flinched. It did little more than that, however. The Kraken cast Freeze Prism on him, and while Isaac was able to dodge a few of the barraging ice crystals, most hit him at stunning velocity. The Kraken used Isaac's pause in movement to spray dangerously corrosive acid over him. He had no armor on, and the acid seared his flesh, burning through his tunic and skin. Gritting his teeth, Isaac struggled to his feet and cast Potent Cure to heal his injuries. Then, he decided to give the octopus a taste of his most potent Venus psynergy.
"Grand Gaia!"
The very earth trembled in anticipation of Isaac's next attack. The ocean's crust split open and thousands upon thousands of rock shards and boulders rose through the water, defying gravity. A huge beam of yellow light rose from the bottom of the ocean all the way into the clouds, as if forming a staircase to heaven.
Three seconds later, the Kraken took the full brunt of the impact. Each boulder and shard cut the flesh of the beast, spilling a blackish substance into the crystal clear ocean.
After the Venus psynergy had subsided, the octopus floated, severely injured, but still alive. It cast Pure Ply on itself, and instantly some of its numerous injuries disappeared.
"I'm in for it tonight", Isaac grimly muttered to no-one in particular.
By the time Mia had gathered the rest of the group, Isaac had worn down the last reserves of his psynergy, and he was sustaining more and more injuries by the second.
The Kraken used Dark Blessing, and it found its target. Covered in a caustic, tar-like substance, Isaac stumbled to his feet. He quickly realized it was ink, and focused his vision. However, when Isaac looked around, the giant squid was nowhere to be found. Glancing about warily, he walked to the edge of the boat, trying to find traces of the behemoth.
The last thing he remembered was a feminine voice crying "Isaac!" before he blacked out.

This is just the first chapter, and is rather short, but I'd like to see what you think of it. The review button is our friend, so go review this if you can.
As a side note, I'd like to thank these authors' pieces for inspiring me to write this:
Dragon Empress, Triad Orion, Midnight C, Griffinkhan, and Feonyx
If you haven't read any of their pieces, I'd like to say: WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
*Ahem*
Anyway, Please review ^_^;
