Disclaimer: I don't own Golden Sun, unfortunately!
A/N: Ok, the last two chapters were DARK!! And I hate to say it, but there IS worse to come! And I am SO gonna get flamed for some of the things I have planned. (Not THAT many people liked Garet, so I think I'm ok for the moment..."
Anyways, read on my faithful audience! ^_^

Selena entered the town. Jenna followed.
"So, this is Garoh?" asked the Water Adept. Jenna nodded.
"HEY!"
They turned to see a figure cannon ball into Selena, wrapping their arms around her tightly. Jenna looked at the figure, trying to work out who it was...
"Karalen?"
The elf beamed. "You're ALIVE!" she grinned. "HEY, IVAN! OVER HERE!" she yelled.
Ivan appeared, smiling. "I'm glad you are both ok!" he said. Jenna hugged him. "So are we!" she joked.
Leo heard a commotion, and looked out of the window. "About time!" he grinned, witnessing the reunion outside.
-
"So, you're Kraden's granddaughter?" asked Ivan in disbelief.
Becca nodded. They were currently in Mik's house, Mik's mother making the large party some tea.
"Yes."
"So, why are you here by yourself?"
"Grandfather, he..." Becca trailed off, but Ivan understood. He put a reassuring arm on her shoulder. "We'll get them, whomever they are."
Selena looked away. She had a sick feeling in her stomach. She hated having to witness the consequences of Alex actions, and it was worse that she was involved.
"To destroy the powers in Lunar Sanctum, you need the Solar Adept," explained Becca. "There is only one in the world."
"Wait," said Leo. "But there are only FOUR elements. What does the Solar Adept wield?"
"Alchemists believe all matter was made of the four elements, Earth, Fire, Wind and Water. However, there is a fifth, called Quintessence. If things are made from the four elements, Quintessence is what breaths life into them. It is what your soul is made from."
"I think I get that..." said Ivan. "So, if the Solar Adept is so powerful, commanding life itself, why can't he just take out all the evil in this world?"
"Because the Solar Adept cannot replenish Psynergy." Said Becca. "Water always will flow, Wind will blow, Fire, even if extinguished, can be re- lit, but life...You get one shot at life. No second chances. That's why Quintessence Psynergy is a one off. There is no natural source to replenish it."
"Now, all we need to do is find this Adept." Said Leo.
"We also need to find David." Said Jenna. "He has the Magma Pendant doesn't he? Don't we need tat to enter Lunar Sanctum?"
"Damn!" said Ivan. "But what if he didn't make it?"
"We can't think like that," said Selena. "I'm sure he's ok, and Saturos is with him, right?"
-
"Saturos, you really don't have to follow me around 24/7 you know!" David was getting exasperated at being chaperoned. If it wasn't Saturos, it was Isaac.
"But someone wants you dead!"
"So? We're ALL in danger. And I am quite competent at defending myself thank you!"
Saturos frowned. David DID have the potential to be a good fighter, the problem being he refused to learn any offensive Psynergy. He was getting quite good at defensive and supportive spells though. Isaac was a good teacher. He scowled at that thought. He didn't like Isaac being so chummy, although he had been less so since Garet had...
Isaac bumped into them.
"How are you doing?" asked David. Saturos could tell he felt responsible for what had happened. That if David had just let Garet kill him, Garet would still be alive. Saturos KNEW that was what David was thinking, although it sounded ridiculous.
Isaac smiled. "I'm fine. How is your Aura spell coming along?"
"Great!" David beamed. "Well, I don't ignite people when I heal them anymore!"
Saturos sweat dropped.
Isaac smiled. "Keep at it!" he then walked on.
David blushed. And turned away from Saturos so he wouldn't see. But Saturos saw, all right.
"What's the blush for?"
"What? Erm, nothing, no, erm, am I?" stuttered David. His blush deepened.
"Do you like him?"
"What? Yeah, he's a great guy, I mean, he's been so nice to me, helping me with my Psynergy, defending me from Garet, and-"
"That's not what I meant! I mean, as in LIKE!"
"But he's a guy!"
Saturos raised an eyebrow. "Weren't you hunted for being gay?"
"Oh, yeah, I forgot that you knew that." His blush deepened further.
Saturos sighed; He wasn't going to get an answer, not yet anyway. He handed David his sword. "Lets go do some training."
-
"So, where should we look?"
They were planning how to find David.
"I'm coming too," said Becca. "I know about all of this, you will DEFINATLY need me."
Ivan was unsure, but he realised they had no choice. No one was very clear on what was going on, so he needed someone who could provide some answers.
Mik stepped forward. "I'm coming too."
Leo turned to him. "And why would you want to do that?"
Mik shrugged. "Boredom? And I like you guys! Besides, I'm a werewolf. No one can track people better than me!"
Another good point. Ivan didn't want to involve any more innocents, but he didn't have much of a choice.
"Ok, we'll head south, to the coast we all ended up. Maybe we'll find something." He said.
-
Isaac stood by the grave of his friend. A tear rolled down his cheek. "I will avenge you." He whispered. He picked up Garet's sword, and stabbed it into the ground where his friend had been buried.
"Mia would have been so proud of you."
He started to sob. He felt someone tap his shoulder. Isaac turned, and buried his face onto the shoulder of the person behind him, his body heaving with heavy sobs.
David patted his back reassuringly. "I'm so sorry Isaac. But I will make it up to you." He whispered.
The figure. That figure had looked at him with pure hatred. Was it someone he knew? He thought of the mayor's son, whom had been subjected to David's flames. But from the remains, there was no way he could have survived.
Either way, that guy was dead.
-
A/N: Sorry this was short, but I DID write it at 3am! Angsty little Isaac scene. And a bit of exploration into Saturos' and David's relationship with each other.
Oh, and the Quintessence stuff? That is a factor of real olden day Alchemy. It really was the fifth element, I haven't just made I up!
Please Review!
