Umbriel: Sorry it took so long.
Hail: She got stuck writing it...
Umbriel: Yah, I originally meant for this to be a one-shot. I decided to make this have three chapters instead.
Fizz: But she can only write the last one after she beats the game.
Hail: No, she hasn't beaten the game yet.
Fizz: And she's been up to it for how many months?
Umbriel: Don't rub it in!
Fizz: I'll do the Disclaimer! She doesn't own Golden Sun, the characters, plot or anything like that. She came up with the memory though. That's about it...
Hail: Major spoilers if you haven't gotten to the boss of The Lost Age.
Umbriel: And now... to begin!
Hidden Betrayal: Mia's Memory
Bodies of dead monsters littered the floor as the stench tortured the eight Adepts and scholar. To one in particular, this was a greater ordeal than she would have wished. The girl hoped that after the lighthouse was light, everything could go back to semi normal. At least.
"This is the entrance to the aerie, once we get up there, there's no turning back. Everyone, follow Felix. Mia, you know what to do," Isaac, a Venus Adept with a yellow scarf spoke.
Mia solemnly walked over to the ancient design carved into the floor. "Teleport," she urged and the Lapis glowed. Sparks shot out to every one in the group, yellow, white, blue, colors glowing as the lighthouse around them glowed a deep red. They're eyes were consumed with the colors for several moments. When it began to clear from their vision, a cold, violent rush of wind shook over them. Snow, carried almost sideways by steadily strong wind cut their vision to low. Where it wasn't white, the black nothingness of the edge of Weyard was visible. Following the wall, the group kept close to each other. Soon, the characteristic white floating platforms of the Lighthouses became visible.
"On the count of three, jump. One at a time," Isaac handled these group efforts well.
The path of white platforms was larger than any they had been on before, and by the end of it, they were breathing hard. Felix passed out potions and the group found the stairs to the top with a sigh of relief. Mia's thoughts were elsewhere.
"What will happen if I return to Imil. Would Alex come too? The people of Imil would have a hard time forgiving him. Where else would he go?" thoughts such as these were becoming common now, she pondered them more and more.
"Mia," the blonde Jupiter Adept named Sheba spoke, "I know what you're thinking about. I'm sorry, you looked so confused, I just had to know what was bothering you. Anyway, we're almost done, stop worrying for a bit. Take your mind off him for now. We still have to worry about the Lighthouse, we haven't lit it yet."
Sheba was always nice to her, Jupiter Adepts seemed to have a normally good nature. Well, for the most part. A trace of a smile could almost be seen. The group was at the top of the stairs when a strange voice found the ears of everyone's, "Betrayers, you have arrived!"
"Who was that?" the spiky red head known as Garet asked.
Mia peered through the blanket of whirling snow to find the accuser. "The wind's too strong! I can't see anything," Mia yelled at the others. The name betrayer had struck a chord in the Adept's soul.
Sheba turned to Mia, " I heard it too, but I don't see anyone else up here." The Wind Adept gazed through the snow as well. If anyone would be able to see through this, it would be Sheba, her eyesight was astounding. However, to everyone's dismay, she shook her head.
"I wish it were Alex, the voice is to low to be his," Mia couldn't help wondering to herself, "Who could it be?"
Picard had the right idea, "Felix! Quick! Cast the Mars Star in before anything has a chance to stop us!" The second Mercury Adept yelled, against the wind it was more of a whisper.
Felix, the tall one of the group stepped forward and leaned against the gusts.
The voice came again, "So, you are still intent on lighting the beacon of Mars Lighthouse?"
"Who said that!?" Isaac called.
The conversation was losing Mia's interest, despite the importance. Her thoughts drifted back to Alex, regardless of Sheba's words. She couldn't help it, her need to talk to him had grown over the past days, and even years. Was it that she simply wanted to talk? Mia blushed. The memory of his last confrontation with him stood firmly in her head. The words Wise One, heart, Sol Sanctum, Kidnapped, and volcanic eruption slid through the back of her mind. The rest was focused on Alex.
The summer weather was wearing out, the people of Imil were back to wearing their heavy clothing. A concerned blue haired Adept rushed to a second Adept's home. She knocked on the door. A rustling sound and then a click was heard as the door opened. "Oh, hello Mia," Alex's voice tumbled into the girl's ears.
"Alex, I wanted to apologize for mentioning them yesterday. I didn't know," she responded to the slight glare directed at her. She felt uneasy like this, if she had to, she would take back everything she had ever said.
"It's alright. You wouldn't have known," the male's tenor voice drifted through the air. It had the hollow sound that accompanied false words. Words that said something but meant nothing of the sort.
"Anyway, I was, well I, what I mean to say is-" Mia stuttered and was cut off by Alex.
"Now Mia, you're not the kind of person I can easily imagine stuttering."
Mia's face deepened a dark red, "Would you accompany me to Mercury Lighthouse again? I have something I forgot to do yesterday."
"I wouldn't miss it for Weyard."
The memory was temporarily interrupted by Isaac's voice, "The Wise One held off the eruption until we could escape... He even halted the lava flow."
A lava flow. Mia was astounded about what this thing called the 'Wise One' could do, "I can't believe it... Nobody has enough power to do that..."
Garet interrupted her, "I know it sounds weird, but I was there, and it happened, so you'll just have to believe us!"
Looking at Picard, his face was filled with wonder Mia hadn't seen there before. It became even more obvious when he spoke, "If it can do all that, this Wise One seems more like a god than an Adept!"
The female Mercury adept had somehow missed the large rock that defied gravity and was floating with ease. It was a spherical rock. One piercing eye set in what Mia assumed was its face was all it needed to complete its hideous appearance. To Mia's amazement, the rock spoke, "I did not just save you. I also tasked you with recovering the four elemental stars. Why have you disobeyed my command? Why have you come to light the beacon?" So that was the voice they had heard.
Jenna answered, "Because Prox will be destroyed if we don't! We can't let that happen..."
Then the Wise One spoke, "Prox? They have brought this disaster upon themselves."
This intern angered Sheba, "Are you saying we should just abandon them to die? What did they do to deserve that!?"
A reply came almost instantly, "The people of Prox have committed an unforgivable sin. They must pay the price."
"For lighting the lighthouses? Is that their sin? Does that warrant total destruction?"
Mia spoke up, adding on to what Isaac had said, "If we don't light the beacon, Gaia Falls will eventually erode away all of Weyard!"
Couldn't the Wise One see what would happen? Whatever she did, it didn't seem to influence it much.
Mia's thoughts returned to the memory of Alex yet again. She only half listened to the conversation, mostly about the destruction of Weyard.
The following day, Mia had packed her bags with healing herbs and Snow Bane. She grimaced when she picked it up. Had it not been essential, she would have left behind the plant she so despised.
An hour before she had to leave she was ready. Having nothing else to do, she opened a large blue volume. It was strange, there were silver runes carved on the cover and inside the book a scrolling handwriting covered the pages. It was titled Mercury Light of the Gods, or something to that effect. Mia couldn't remember.
'And to the east and west shall be a flow of the water of life as the lighthouse of Mercury is lit once more. Illness shall forever be concurred. To the west, another secret is kept, a passage few and honored may only take as the center entrance repeats.' Two passages had embedded themselves into the girl's mind. Each had only been read twice. The second said, 'Eternity shall be granted by the Sun when elemental power returns to Sol. Control, resurrection, death, pain, and the elements shall crumble at the steps of the power of the One.' Mia made almost no sense of the second, but was fairly certain about the first. She believed it was talking about a secret passage on the west part of the Mercury Lighthouse. It also mentioned what was already known about the healing water.
After an hour had passed, she went outside to look for Alex. She searched Imil and when she returned to her house. Alex was waiting for her. The book was open to the page on which the second passage was written. She had checked upon returning.
"Would you mind telling me what we're doing at the Lighthouse?" Alex had asked, grinding a leaf of Snow Bane in his hand.
"You're going to help me look for a secret passage on the west of the Lighthouse, I read something that hinted about one being there."
"Really," Alex commented, "You forgot something that interesting?"
Mia blushed, "Yes, I suppose I did."
Both were silent for the remainder of the walk. An hour later, the Lighthouse loomed above the two adepts. Both walked around the normal way and began examining the wall.
"Over here," Mia called, "Look at this."
Something again cut Mia's thoughts off. This was starting to become annoying. The Wise One's words drew her in. He began to explain why Weyard would be troubled sooner than expected, "The Water Adept who climbs toward the peak of Mt. Aleph even as we speak... Is he not a friend of yours?" The large eye moved over to Mia. Its gaze made her feel awkward and alone. Emptiness washed over her as it continued, "Alex is his name. Surely you have not forgotten him?"
How could she have forgotten him?
What she had seen was a portal of light. Beautiful colors intertwined blissfully only visible if one knew what they were looking for. Mia cast Ply wondering what might exist behind. Every second seemed too long. When everything cleared, Alex put a hand on her arm.
The Wise One's words cut through the air, "This has been Alex's one true intention from the start.
Picard responded first, "Alex planned all of this? Then he must have been after this power all along!"
How could Alex have done this? Absorbed in the thought, she did not hear Garet speak, and said, "Alex... How could he do this? He's one of my own people! I feel sick... disgusted..." Mia didn't understand? "He promised..." No one heard her last words.
She had blushed at the touch of his hand on her arm. It slid down to grasp her hand, Mia caught her breath. The two entered hand in hand. The first room was a simple hallway, monsters did not appear here. The peaceful blue of the Lighthouse was everywhere. Music serenaded the Adepts as they sauntered across the floor. Up the stairs, there was a room with one pipe and a switch in the middle of the floor. It was set up in a way that someone had to push a pipe in order to have access to a door on the other side of the room. The problem came in that to push the pipe, they had to step on the switch. From looking at how the room was situated, the switch would cause anyone who stepped on it to get to the other side of the pipe.
"I'll go first," Mia took a deep breath. She stepped on the switch while trying to push the large round pipe. The pipe moved and Mia found herself wisped off the switch and over the pipe. She was confused how it happened, but it worked. The pipe stopped rolling and hit the wall. There was a dull thud as a different wall appeared between the switch and Alex, cutting him off from view. Mia had dismissed the strangeness as one of the many wonders of Psynergy. In the stairway, inches from the pipe, Mia blinked. She wasn't sure what to do, but found up the only way to go.
As she got to the top of the stairs, a monster jumped out and fell with one blow. After recovering from the sudden shock, she looked around the room. There were the normal blue walls and floor of the Mercury Lighthouse. The strange soft music that reflected of the walls was present. The only strangeness about the room was its feeling. In the middle of the room was a pedestal and a large statue directly behind it. As Mia approached the statue, a blue glow radiated from the statue. It spoke, "Healer of the Mercury Clan, honor the statue and receive the gift of the Goddess."
Mia walked behind the pedestal and up to the statue, "Ply." When the discs faded, a beautiful saffire appeared, it floated above the pedestal. White swirls danced over it, Psynergy radiated from it. Mia reached out to touch the perfect sphere. It floated towards her and a blue light encompassed both. When the light faded, she found herself in the hallway. She looked around and found a note attached to a wall. It was from Alex. In a nutshell, it had said he was going with some people he had met while waiting and not to worry. It was the last she had heard of him.
As she walked back to Imil, a shadow flickered at the top of the lighthouse.
"However," Mia thought to herself and her eyes widened, "What if his reason... could it be?" She subconsciously gripped the saffire still in her possession.
"What's he thinking? We already beat a two-headed dragon. How much tougher can this one be?" Garet's words cut off whatever Mia had been thinking.
She saw Jenna flinch as Garet had spoken and looked to the dragon. How much it reminded her of the Black bird, wings wide open, attempting to scare away all that opposed it. This was a dragon, not quite like the Fusion Dragon, it had three heads, all were mangled in a rage unimaginable. Orange, pink, and red shades whorled around its body. Most of it was gleaming muscle. A fiery heat rose from it. The group could only wonder at how much heat could be in a place so cold.
Suddenly Mia stiffened, they had to beat it in order to finish their quest. It was their only hope of returning to normal, whatever that may be. "I don't care how many heads it has. Nothing's going to stop us now!"
Ivan's usually soft voice surprisingly cut the dull cold, "Let's do it! For Prox! For the future of Weyard!"
Each of the group closed in on the dragon, each taking a side. Kraden's words were barely understandable in the snow, "Wait a second... Wasn't that two-headed dragon actually... so this three-headed dragon must be... Felix! NO! You mustn't fight that dragon! It's-"
"Too late, Kraden! We can't get away from it now!" Garet cut off.
In a desperate attempt, Kraden called tree final words, "Felix! Don't, stop!!!"
Alex sat on the ground, wondering if it would really work. He felt a cold, a strange coldness, coming from the Sanctum. The rock walls around him provided little comfort. Alex felt alone, truly alone, for the first time in years. Mia, his friend and love, would know by now. He wiped the sweat on his forehead away with his hand and drank from a canteen. Cool water trickled down his throat. "Why couldn't I have died back then..." If only he had never thought of this, most of this would be prevented. No, he had to apologize to Mia now, meaning, he had to stay alive. He vowed it.
