Chapter 2 - Unexpected Complications

Standing on her balcony, Hama savored the gentle breeze blowing from the lighthouse. It was not often that she relished what everyday life had to offer. After all, she was just the messsenger, to bring back Anemos. She had a mission to accomplish, and had no need of such pleasures.

But she couldn't deny the pleasure of the wind against her skin. She couldn't ignore the warm rays of the sun on her face. And she couldn't claim that she didn't love Isaac.

The last of these pleasures offered her greatest problem. Prior to the pillaging of Aleph years before, Isaac had been naive, ignorant of the way the world worked. After Vale was rebuilt, Isaac had come to Contigo to learn how to hone his psynergy, to access the depths of both his powers and mind.

But due to his exposure to the intense power of the Golden Sun in the Mars Star, Isaac's intelligent had nearly doubled, his strength increased, and his love of live grew to immeasurable size.

And therein layed her problem.

Though she loved him, he was an obstical in her mission. Due to his Venusian powers, her mental control abilities were useless. Add in his increased intelligence and you had a volitile time bomb. At any given time he could realize her plan, and then try to stop her. Somehow, though how exactly was unknown, this only attracted her to him even more...

An arm silently wrapped around her waist, and she placed her head on his shoulder. Though she had her mission to complete, she decided to enjoy his company as long as she could.

Deep within the depths of the Eastern Sea, the sea enjoyed its usual peace and tranquility-

-except for the ten-foot tall mutation walking along the sea bed.

Trudging through the intense pressures of the depths, the abomination began to wonder in thought. It did not remember when it became what it was, where it came from, or why it was. What it did recall was that it had become aware on a dirt-covered shelf of land. A beach, as it later heard. It had trudged inward, looking for opponents. Why it sought foes, it did not know. In fact, only a few true foes were in existance; most foes were either weak downgrades of true beings, or they were freaks like it - changed from what it once was.

Then it had found its targets - a foe for each of the elements. It had hurt one of them easily enough, and they had foolishly tried to fight it with the energies of life. Feasting on their efforts, they surprised it with an attack of incredible noise. They suddenly vanished after the attack, only to return mere moments later. Somehow, they were at full strength, and managed to knock it into a premature hibernation.

Recovering, it headed north, following the sent of the warrior it had grabbed during its fight. In truth, it sought each of them, for reasons it was still trying to understand...

Silently, it wandered on...

He he he...

That should expand on some of the final scenes in Icy Blaze. Yes, Hama and Isaac are an item, and yes, that thing is after four adepts... What does it want? I cannot say, but I will say that the next chapter will have Felix conducting some research... (active members on the Golden Sun Fan Forum should know what I mean...)

And since I have reviews for the previous chapter, let's get to it!

Rain Child - ? For some reason, I seem to recall sending you an e-mail reguarding this review... But I don't recall if I did or not... Anywho, the idea did originate from Darkcomet, and thanks to him, it was used. What is your pairing? Send it to me via e-mail if you don't want it spread on the review board. But I would like to know (seeing as I already have commited pairings with every character...). But thanks for the review!

Gay Witch - Credit for Piers/Karst goes to Darkcomet, who only mentioned it. Since Piers had no real role in Icy Blaze, I decided to make use of a loop I left in Icy Blaze when I mentioned Karst and Agatio's "rescue." And thanks for the opinions. I didn't have the chance to print out your story today [10-9-03] at school, but I do have to stop over there tomorrow to get some information [10-10-03], so I will either print it then or tonight... Well, that was a royal run-around... But I will read them somehow... And thanks for the review.

Forgotten Souls - First off, would you believe that I found your screen name on the e-mail you send just after I replied? I feel like such an idiot... [Noone comment on that, or I will not continue this!] As soon as I grab my disk from my car with my bio on there, I will add it to the collection... I will explain how it happened later, as far as Piers/Karst... But thanks for the reviews!

SirGecko - A new face on my boards! Thanks for joining the reviewers of Mikaa! *cough* Well, thanks for the comments and feedback! I would ask that you give Icy Blaze a review, as I use the reviews to judge what people like/don't like. Thanks for the review, though!

NOTE - if your name is not on here, then you probably reviewed after I posted this, and I will try to comment on your review in the next chapter. Thank you for your interest.

Since Sheba is busy getting me a few more muses, I have to say that I DO NOT OWN GOLDEN SUN. BUT I DO OWN A GREAT BOOK ENTITLED "PHOENIX - THE FALL AND RISE OF VIDEOGAMES." A GREAT HISTORY OF VIDEO GAMES!

*thwap!*

OW!

Sheba - No ads!

!!! Did they agree to join?

Sheba - They demand that you give them access to the GB Player before they will join...

Ah, well... See ya next chapter... With new muses as well!

Sheba - But I'll still be here...

...

Sheba - REVIEW!!! He needs six more reviews before the next chapter will begin typing!

!!! Wha-? You read my mind!

Sheba - I'll tell them you said no!
