Disclaimer: I don't own Golden Sun, or Saturos. But I wish I did...*sighs
wistfully*
A/N: Yet another chapter! I'm going REALLY fast, averaging at a chapter a day! Yay for me!!! I know what's gonna happen now, so I know the good and bad things to come. Please don't flame me when I do something terrible! Because I am gonna! Repeatedly! *Smiles warily*

Piers watched land approach. He held his hand above his eyes to block the sun form his vision. He was headed to the only place that had answers.
Vale.

Ivan and Karalen kept watching each other.
"Did I miss something?" Jenna asked Selena.
"Why? What is it?"
"Karalen and Ivan. They're acting...odd."
"Jenna we have more important business to attend to." Selena didn't like the fact this topic was going to bring up something she wished to avoid. Unfortunately, that was the wrong response.
"Ok, I've had enough!" Jenna stopped. "I was too drunk and hung over to notice before, but now I do! What the hell is wrong with you? What happened to the girl I cared so much for? Who cared about others? Who comforts them? Because right now, it isn't you."
Selena looked at the floor. "Things change Jenna. I've changed. Lets not forget dear noble Isaac and Garet."
Jenna looked at her. "Maybe." She said. "But that doesn't give you the excuse to follow suit." And she resumed her pace.
Selena followed. She wanted all of this to be over. Maybe she could talk to Jenna about...stuff, and they could live their lives together...
She shook it off. There she went again, with hopeless romantic dreams. Alex wouldn't approve of anything disrupting her mission. That's why she had to distance herself. If Jenna was a distraction, she would be dealt with.
Just like Garet was trying to deal with David.
-
Isaac walked up to Saturos. "We set sail tomorrow. You can stay here if you like...but I'm guessing you will be joining us."
"And I'm guessing that 'us' means you and David."
Isaac smiled. "Well, he DOES have the Magma Pendant, and he IS involved. Alex is behind this, and he wants that kid dead for whatever reason."
Saturos glared at him. "But he would be much safer with me!"
"You have been very protective of him. He isn't an invalid, and with the right training, could match even you. He seems to think its because he saved you in the fight with Garet, but I think differently."
Thankfully, before it got awkward, David walked in.
"Isaac, guess what!!!" for an 18 year old, he looked like a 5 year old on his birthday. "I finally got the hang of it!"
Saturos raised an eyebrow. "Hang of what?"
"Counter! A Psynergy that reflects other Psynergy!" David beamed. Isaac turned to Saturos.
"There was a Mars Djinni that was capable of that ability. I had David study it, to see if he could manipulate his defensive Psynergy to do the same."
Saturos was angry. Isaac was getting too close to David, and David was trying to please him. He turned on his heel, and stormed off.
David was puzzled. "Did I say something?"
Isaac shook his head. "I think Saturos just has a few issues."
"I'm gonna go check on him."
"Are you sure..."
"Yes! He IS my friend after all!" and with that, David went off in search of his friend.
-
"Ivan, can I talk to you?" Ivan turned from building a campfire for the evening, and saw Becca.
"Erm, sure."
"It's just, with a spy about, and Kraden said I could trust you..." She paused. "I'm sorry, I'm not being very coherent."
"Its ok. Now, what can I do for you?"
"Its about the Solar Adept. I know who it is."
This got Ivan's attention. "Well, who is it?"
"Its me."
Ivan's mouth hung open. "You? But you're a little girl!"
"So? You were a little boy when you helped Isaac."
She had a point. And she WAS very mature for her age, like Ivan himself.
"This goes no further than us, ok?"
Ivan nodded. Becca smiled. "Good. Now you know about the Solar Adept, you can concentrate on finding your friend."
-
Mia barged though the door.
"ALEX!" she screamed. "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU, YOU PIECE OF SH-"
"Now, now Mia, that isn't befitting of a lady!" Alex smiled serenely. He approached her. "Now, what is the problem?"
"Where the hell is Garet? And I want answers. NOW!"
Alex looked at her, with seeming sadness. "Mia, I'm so sorry." He paused. "Garet caught up with his target, but the target was under the protection of Isaac."
Mia raised a hand to her mouth. "No..." she whispered.
Alex laid a hand on her arm. "He's dead, Mia."
"No..." she paled. "Garet...you promised, we would be together...always..." a tear rolled down her cheek. "NO!!!!!!!" she screamed, and fled.
"I thought you said you would never lie to her." Said a voice.
Alex jumped. "Shadow, what have I told you about that?!? Besides, I didn't actually lie. She just assumed it was Isaac who killed Garet. Speaking of which, how is Seth?"
"Stable."
"Well, that will have to do for now. And Shadow? Send someone to comfort Mia. I think she's a tad upset."
-
Selena was awake. Everyone else was breathing softly. She heard a twig crack, and a quiet "Damn!" whispered. She got up, feeling her way around in the dark.
"Shadow, I know you're here. Don't worry, they're all fast asleep."
Shadow stepped out of the darkness. "I thought I had better make contact as opposed to Seth." He smiled at her. "How is life with Jenna?"
Selena smacked him playfully. "Nothing has happened!" she grinned. The frowned. "But I don't like lying to her."
"No, but it IS essential for our own agenda." Said Shadow. He paused. "Seth did something terrible."
"What? David?"
"No, not yet. Garet."
"Oh, no...How's Mia?"
"Not good."
Selena sighed. She had been afraid of this. She needed Ivan to act soon, but how?
"Wait, do you know where David and Saturos are?"
"They were shipwrecked on the East Tundria Islet. They have met up with Isaac."
Selena paled. "Isaac will have told them the truth about Mia..."
"And they know that you're the spy."
Selena nodded, not knowing what to say.
Shadow looked at his friend. "You could always get to him first. Suggest that you split up. You're the water Adept, so explore the sea. But do it tomorrow. Isaac is heading this way in the next three days. If you can find David before anyone else, maybe we can let him in on it."
"But he wont believe me."
"He's naïve. Of course he will."
"Don't be so sure!" snapped Selena. "But we don't have much choice."
Shadow nodded. "We don't have much time either. Garet is dead, Kraden is dead, and Sheba is in a coma. The consequences will continue to rise until we act and succeed." He turned, and disappeared into the darkness.
-
A/N: Hmm, I told you Selena's situation wouldn't be so clear-cut. Piers is on his way, and Alex really is a very cold son of a (ahem) Sorry, this is only a PG13! There IS more angst to come, but not yet. But it will, so don't get comfortable!
Please Review!
