Disclaimer: I don't own Golden Sun, and all the OC's are real peeps!
A/N: Ok, this time it's from the other characters POV, David and Leo. Thanks for the reviews so far, and Selena, there will be fighting! Don't worry! I'm just trying to establish WHAT they're fighting first! Lol! Anyways, read and review, and if you flame, I'll cry and never write again! (Kidding! Or am I? Are you prepared to risk that?!?)
Erm, peeps keep telling me in past reviews and e-mails not to make everyone gay...well, I say why not? This IS gay fiction after all! There are so many films, programmes, and especially computer games, where EVRYONE is straight! And that's not particularly realistic either! Lol! So, yeah, this is a gay fic, so pretty much everyone will be gay! I will do straight couples, but there's enough straight fics out there to last a lifetime!
So, sorry to those that disagree, but this is gonna be gay too! Well, once the romance starts up, anyway! (Hell, one of the characters is based on me! How can it NOT be gay?!?)
Read and Review please! ^_^

"We're lost, aren't we?"
"Well, you have as much idea of where we are as I do!"
Leo and David had passed through Suhallah Gate, exhausted from various monster attacks.
"Well," said David, "I'm just glad to see some greenery! And that desert was HOT!"
"YOU thought it was hot? I thought fire adepts had higher resistance to heat!"
David shrugged. The two walked on, and they entered a forest.
"Ah, nice and cool in the shade!" sighed Leo.
"Oh, look, maybe we can ask for directions!"
"Huh?" Leo looked to where David was pointing. Sat on a rock was a small elf, face currently half buried in a large fruit, juicy dripping everywhere.
"You're gonna ask a wood elf for directions?" asked Leo.
David raised an eyebrow. "Do you have any better ideas?" And with that, he strode over to the elf.
The elf, a female, narrowed her eyes as her approached. David noticed, and put his staff on the ground. "Sorry, but I don't mean any harm! I just wondered if you knew the direction to Venus Lighthouse."
The elf wiped juice from her chin. "Are you two Adepts?" she asked.
They nodded. "Finally, I was getting sick of waiting! I'm you're new guide, sent by the Wise One! Karalen's the name!" she thrust out her hand, and David shook it, and then absent-mindedly wiped the juice off his hand. "I'm David, Mr Happy over there is Leo."
Leo scowled. "Well, come this way!" announced Karalen. As she marched on ahead, David dropped back to the same pace as Leo.
"So, are you going to tell me what's been bugging you?"
"..."
"Oh, Leo!" David was exasperated. "Well, either tell me, or cheer up, because we have more important things to worry about!"
"Yeah, ok."
David smiled at him. "But talk to me when you're ready, ok?"
Leo gave a half smile back. Then his eyes widened. David turned, to see a large wolf pounce at them. They leapt out of the way, the other two wolves circling.
"Earthquake!" called Leo, the ground shaking, knocking one wolf off balance. David saw this, and swung his staff, it connecting with the back of the wolf's head with a crack. Leo tackled another wolf, picking up a large rock before beating it around its head.
"Leo, look out!"
The third wolf leapt at him, pinning him. Leo shrank back into the ground; he could smell and feel the wolf's breath.
"Fireball!"
The wolf had just enough time to look up before it was blasted off of Leo by a humongous ball of flame. Leo sat up carefully, and looked at the charred remains.
"A bit of over-kill wouldn't you say?"
David blushed. "I'm not too good at controlling how much I unleash." Then he noticed the cut on Leo's arm. "Oh, damn it!" He rummaged in his pouch and produced some herbs and some bandages. "Sit!" he commanded. He crushed the leaves between two small rocks, and applied it to the cut.
"Ow!"
"Sorry!"
He then wrapped the bandage around Leo's arm. "There!" he said with flourish.
"Why didn't you just use Psynergy?"
"Because I told you, I can't control it too well! I may end up setting you on fire!" he looked around. "Hey, where's Karalen?"
"Right here!" the elf appeared from a thicket.
"Thanks for your help!" said Leo sarcastically.
"Hey, I'm a guide, not a fighter! Shall we continue?"
The elf led the to Lalivero. The village was in a commotion.
"Look what he did!" screamed one man, pointing to a burn on his arm.
"What's going on?" asked Leo.
Karalen shook her head. "There is a man that lives in the caves below Babi's lighthouse. He's been there, supposedly, for a few years. Apparently he used to be a bad man." She looked to David. "They go down there with stick, call him names, beat him, and every now and again, he retaliates."
"That's awful!" said David.
"No, we're not." Said Leo, arms folded.
"What?"
"I know what you're thinking. Karalen said he was a bad man. So we should just leave him be."
"On a quiet night, if you listen, you may hear him crying..." Karalen said, softly.
"Right that does it!" said David, resting his staff on his shoulder, and marching ahead. Leo shook his head.
"He just likes to ASK for trouble doesn't he?" and with that, he followed. Karalen, not wanting to be left behind, tagged along.
-
"Now, now, son he's dangerous. We can't let you in!"
"But we need to reach Venus lighthouse," Leo interjected, "and we need to go through the caves to do that!"
"We'll avoid this man at all costs." Lied David. "Please, we really need to pass. We're on a mission for master Kraden."
"Kraden, eh? Well, ok... but if anyone asks, you snuck past, ok?"
David grinned. "Sure!"
-
"It's too dark!" moaned Karalen.
"Hang on, just let me get this right... Flash!" David's left hand glowed, small flames flickering on his skin. The glow was not very strong, but it DID provide a bit of light.
"Well, Venus lighthouse is up that way..." started Leo. Then he sighed. "But we aren't going there yet, are we?"
"Nope!"
"But you said we would avoid..."
"I lied! Now, come on, don't make me drag you!"
Karalen watched with amusement. She liked these two humans; they were interesting to be around. But now she was wondering if this was such a good idea. The man down here was powerful, and had done some BAD things in the past. She sighed, and followed the two arguing Adepts.
-
"Can you here that?"
"What?"
"Shh" hissed Leo. "I heard footsteps."
"Are you sure it wasn't one of us?" asked Karalen.
"I'm sure..."
"Wha-" David was cut off by a hand clamping around his mouth.
The others turned, and saw the silhouette of a man stood behind David. "Thought you would come back for another shot?" he hissed. "Stop struggling!" David was desperately trying to escape, and decided to try a different approach. He bit. Hard.
"AHH! Why you little..."
"We aren't here to fight!" said David hurriedly.
Karalen hid behind him. "I told you he was a bad man!"
"Bad man? You have NO idea." The man's tone was chilling. "Well, if you're here, I may as well see what you want. I don't have anything else planned."
With that, he led the two Adepts and the elf down the passageway.
-
Sat in a room, with a small bed, a pot of water, and a fire, they saw what the man looked like for the first time. He had blue skin, light blue hair, and crimson eyes. The eyes were what did it, decided Karalen. They seemed to be staring right into your soul, with a blood lust.
"So, what do you want?" asked the man wearily.
"Well, this idiot," said Leo, indicating David, "wanted to help you."
"He's right." Said the man. "You ARE an idiot."
David ignored that. "And YOU'RE hurt!" he said. "Leo, got any herbs on you? I only have two left." Leo sighed, and produced three herbs from his pouch.
"What are you doing?"
"Just hold still! This is gonna sting though..."
-
Karalen was getting restless. She didn't like his stare. He was a bad man, and she was sitting in a cave with him, while one of her newfound allies was treating him! She looked over to Leo, who was also restless.
"So, what's you're name?" asked Leo, after a while.
The man winced as David cleaned a cut on his cheek. "Saturos."
Leo stood up, suddenly. "We're leaving."
"No."
"What? You heard him right?"
"So? Weren't Saturos and Mernardi doing it for Prox? Everyone heard the story, about how they were misunderstood. Granted, their methods left MUCH to be desired, but still..." he sighed. "We need all the allies we can get. We aren't very powerful, and you know it!"
"Why, what's going on?" asked Saturos.
David explained their situation.
"So, we are gonna head up to Venus Lighthouse."
Saturos frowned. Should he help? These kids weren't gonna last long...
"But you would be putting yourself in more danger by me coming with you..." he said.
"Nope, I doubt it. I bet hardly anyone remembers what you look like!" piped up Karalen. Leo glared at her, but David mouthed a 'Thank you'.
"Well, ok, it's not like I'll be leaving anything dear to me," said Saturos.
"What about Mernardi?" asked Karalen.
"...She didn't survive the fall." said Saturos.
"Oh, I'm sorry..." Saturos waved it off. "So, shall we go?"
-
"No, left a bit."
"No, go RIGHT!"
Leo had gained the Carry ability, and was currently manoeuvring blocks to solve a puzzle, whilst listening to both David and Karalen's directions.
"There! Now drop it!"
Leo sat down exhausted. "Can't you two let the other one speak?"
"Nope!" they said in unison.
Saturos pulled Leo to his feet. "Not much further, just have to get across that sand flow, and then take the platform up."
He waded into the sand, Karalen on his back. The two males were struggling, David using his staff for leverage, Leo using David to pull him across.
"You're the Earth Adept, cant you stop the flow?" yelled David.
"Hey, hurry up, you two!" grinned Karalen.
Leo cursed under his breath. "Smug little pixie!" he muttered.
They reached the other side, and David pulled him out. "I have sand EVERYWHERE!" complained Leo.
"Oh, stop whining!" said Saturos. "We're nearly there." He helped Karalen onto the platform, and David pulled Leo on.
Raw Psynergy glowed, and the platform rose, dropping them off at the top.
"There's the light of Venus." said Saturos. As they approached, The Wise One appeared.
Leo took the floating pendant. It was a small polished sphere. He put it on.
"What of Ivan?" asked David.
The Wise One sounded rushed. He looked at Saturos. And with that, he was gone.
"That didn't sound good," said Karalen.
"C'mon, lets get out of here!" said Leo.
-
They walked out of the lighthouse, and were approached by a figure.
"I know you," said Saturos. "You were with Isaac."
The man raised an eyebrow. "Back from the dead? Well, once I have done what I came here to do, I will enjoy killing you a second time."
He drew his sword, as did Saturos. David bit his lip. "Why ARE you here?" he asked.
"I've been hired to dispose of a...problem. A young Fire Adept. That would be you, right? Well, your two friends can go," he gestured towards Leo and Karalen, "but, you Saturos, you I will have to deal with."
"Go," hissed Saturos.
They looked at him, then nodded. And ran.
"Wait!" said David stopping.
"What?" asked Leo.
"That man is after ME. I shouldn't be with you, I'm endangering you." He turned, and ran back towards the fight that had just started.
"David!" cried Leo. Karalen grabbed his arm. "Let him go. Saturos has more of a chance if David helps."
"But he can't fight!" Leo sat down, suddenly feeling very sick.
-
Swords struck at each other. Saturos was concentrating hard. This little punk wasn't so little anymore. Since when had he got so strong?
The man unleashed a blast that stunned Saturos, and started to charge an attack to finish him. The raw power ripped through the air, but didn't hit him. Something got in the way.
Saturos watched as a young body was thrown clear. He saw a gap in the man's defences, and charged his Psynergy.
"Pyroclasm!" he yelled. The explosion smashed into the mercenary, who now lay weakened. As Saturos approached, the man snarled.
"This isn't over!"
He threw a smoke bomb, and was gone.
Saturos sheathed his sword, and heard a cry.
"DAVID!!!!!!!!"
Karalen sped past him, over to a body lying on the floor, not moving. Realisation dawned on Saturos. David had taken the blast.
He ran over to him, closely followed by Leo.
Karalen had rolled David onto his back. He moaned. "David?" she said. David looked at her, and the two concerned faces with her. Everything was a blur.
And then everything was black.
-
A/N: Hmm, fairly long, but what did you think? I'm not sure how I felt about it, I kinda liked it myself, and I liked the fact that Saturos is alive! Hehehe!
And to Karalen the Wood Elf! This chapter is dedicated to you, a good mate, and someone who says nice things about my work! ^_^
