Chapter 3 - Secrets of a Tortured Existance
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, the last chapters reviews were...er, interesting... Here's what I have to say:
Mr. Jupiter - Uh, it was not intended to have so many die at once, but it was meant to be dark. Very dark. We're talking almost R-rated here. Thanks, though!
Kyarorain - Give you one guess what inspired this story... Seriously, this will be more depressing as I go, but all stories have a good ending... don't they?
Rain Child - No, you're not insane. What's insane is that I can't for the love of me figure out an ending to the Love Line!! AAAHHhh!! Seriously, good guess... And as for reincarnation, just wait... I'll tell in a chapter or two...
Empress Dotdotdot - Oh, heck. Go ahead and guess!! If you're wrong, it doesn't matter, although I will know how others interprate the text... Uh, and for the last part of the review... Just wait... You'll see... Don't kill me!
Sheba - MIKAA OWNS NOT GOLDEN SUN OR NINTENDO. NEVER ASK THIS AGAIN.
And now... for that which you wish to see:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Felix stared out over the bow of the Ship. Although they had the Teleport ability, they still used the ship. Supposedly, it was to prevent it from being found and abused. Felix figured that the Wise One simply wanted the ship to be seen on occasion all around the world, spreading rumors and myths of its existance. Whatever the case be, they werer getting close to Imil, where their next quarry would be.
He scoffed at that thought. Quarry. More like prey. Or victim. When he and Isaac regrouped after their first "mission," he had hoped that his blonde companion might have some words of compassion... Something to remind him that they were doing this for everyone else... But truth be told, Felix himself had never killed another in cold blood, not even a vicious and ruthless person like Karst. Sure he had thought it, but actions speak louder than mere thoughts...
But he didn't tell Isaac everything that he did. When he learned of his brother-in-law's report of the incident, Felix stopped himself from telling Isaac everything. Sure he told him of how he had to fight the father, and told him that he "took care of her..." But that was only a half truth...
The ship slowed to a crawl, slowly stopping on a shallow embankment. Turning to where the black orb rested, he saw Isaac, his face still showing the signs of tears from his task. Knowing his friend as he did, he decided to not ask what was on his mind.
"Well, let's go."
Watching his friend walk past him, Felix followed, his heart gaining at least fifteen pounds...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They approached the sacred gavesite. It was inevitable. That they would come to this place.
But they weren't expecting him.
He stared at them, using a cloaking shield to hide himself against their sight. He knew that they thought that they were doing the right thing. But he had seen it happen before - the same story. The never ending cycyle. Meaningless destruction. Mindless deaths.
All for a innatainable goal.
He knew of the one who studied the glyphs, learning of the of the secret behind the power. Of the impossiby long struggle of power between two giants - a world of psynergy versus a world without psynergy. But he would soon meet these strangers. It had happened before - to him. He had learned the secret, had learned of how to survive the change. But for a cost far worse than those before him... He stared at the two, knowing what they had done, or rather, lack thereof...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac cursed as the blowing winds stung his eyes, bringing back memories of his... task. He hadn't wanted to do it, and knew then that he would regret it... And he knew that stare that the girl had given him... And realized who they were... And dismissed it as coincidence. Two being reborn was one thing... It was just chance. He considered asking Felix of his... victim, but decided that Felix was as torn up as he was. As much as Garet had harrassed him about being cruel and heartless, he knew that this was tearing Felix up.
But how did he know? Sure, physical signs were a good start, but... What if the power that the Wise One gave him also gave him... telepathy?
No, that was crazy...
He saw the city of Imil rise on the horizon, and saw a figure walking towards them, a small child in his arms. The figure wore a heavy cloak, an attire worn in Imil dating back to when the whole quest began. Although his face was hidden, the child was easily seen - blue hair, pale skin, soft saphire eyes, and an innocence that was unequaled...
And the blood drained from Isaac's face when it dawned on him as to the identity of the child:
Mia, reborn.
That meant...
The kids in Contigo were... Ivan and Hama...
And Felix killed Sheba...
Isaac stared at his partner, who stared back at him, eyes of sheer terror meeting his.
The figure walked closer, staring at them through the hood. And then the figure moved the hood back, revealing...
Alex.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
O.o
How many of you understand what the heck I just said?
Sheba - Give them some credit. A few of your reviewers picked up on the kids last chapter.
Yeah, but look at this new guy...
Sheba - Who knew that it was Alex?
Uh, not Alex... The *other* guy.
Sheba - ???
