Return of Anemos
----------------------------------------------
Chapter 15 - Discussions
----------------------------------------------
Felix watched as Nygel ran through the house, grabbing the last of his toys. He was sorry that his son would have to suffer through whatever hell they would soon face. If it were up to him, Anemos would have kept to their little patch of land. Course, if THAT were the case, he probably wouldn't have seen Isaac until a few years later...
He shook his head. Ever since that Zeus appeared with Hamma, both Isaac and Hamma had never left the others sight. He admitted that it was understandable, given that they had both suffered through the Anemian rule, but... Was it just him, or was there more between them? He considered asking Jenna, who seemed to know the story, but he wondered if he really wanted to know.
He also wondered if Ivan knew.
Felix chuckled to himself as he recalled his reaction when he heard of Alex and Jenna's relationship. Had it not been for his future bride, his sister would have a dead love, not to meantion a life of makeing her brother miserable as hell.
Funny how these things work out...
Looking around, he wondered where Alex was. It had been some time since the Mercurian had shown his face, and Felix began to worry. His first thought had not been that Alex had left them, as he might have years ago. Rather, he worried as to where Jasmine had gone to. Both of them had vanished around the same time, and he had no idea why they had done so...
"Jasmine's here, Dad!"
Felix turned to see not only Jasmine, but Alex in the doorway. Alex looked horrible; his face was pitted with dirt, his clothes torn and...burned? That was odd...
"Alex, where the heck have you been?"
His brother-in-law sighed. *Uh oh. This won't be pretty...*
"I was taking Jasmine to Prox, to stay with Piers. Unfortunately, Prox was under attack, and we barely got away before we were killed. We landed in southern Hisparia, and tried to get back here from there. Something blocked the teleport, and we caught a boat... Once we could get out..."
Felix swallowed, his throat noticably dry. If what Alex said was true, Prox was being attacked, and by what, they apparently didn't know. If he were Alex, he would be more worried about getting his child out of there.
Alex shook his head. "Felix, something is going on. I don't know if Isaac knows or if Nani knows, but someone here must know what is happening."
"I think I know who knows..."
Nodding towards the doorway, Felix watched Alex turn, and watched Alex's face turn to one of puzzlement. Oddly enough, Zeus gave Alex a simmilar look...
----------------------------------------------
Staring at the shorter man, Zeus pondered the scene before him. Two children were sitting in a corner, a boy giving a girl a glass of water. Felix stood inside the house, his face one of conscern for his sister's mate. And the one in front of him... Zeus knew that face from somewhere...
"Who are you?"
"My name is Zeus. I am here to inform you that the longer you stay in this village, the more peril you will be in."
The two adults stared at him, odd looks on their faces. He knew that Felix had heard about Hamma, but noone, not even Nani, knew of the real reason he had come...
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"It means that Anemos will be launching an attack on you if you remain in this village."
"So we go to Prox? Alex says that it's a warzone..."
"It is." He paused, watching their faces. They knew he was not telling them something, and were waiting to see if he would tell more.
Smart kids.
"The Ane, excuse me, *former* Anemian Army is assisting Prox in its defense against the army that the leaders of Anemos have sent. And before you ask, they are seeking to secure the Lighthouses, which is wh-"
"Why would they need the lighthouses?"
Zeus sighed. Apparently, these men were not as patient as he had hoped. "Presumably, to keep Alchemy from being sealed."
The Mercurian stared at him. "You don't know."
Not a question. "Truth be told, I don't know why they are doing it. What I do know is that they have secured two of the towers. Mercury and Jupiter are already in their grasp, and they are currently attempting to gain access to Mars."
"And you will want us to go to Venus, correct?"
Turning around, Zeus stared at a young woman, a Jupitarian. *What was her name again? Shiba? No, Sheba. That was it.* "Yes. Once we arrive there, we should find some allies."
"What kind of allies?"
Zeus sighed again. He was never fond of interrogations, and being interrogated was something he hadn't done in years. "The resistance forces from the old wars should have found a way to survive until Anemos returned. They had the means."
The conversation carried on for hours, and as time went on, Zeus began to wonder if this would have happened if he had been there at Valeph when Kolar went crazy...
----------------------------------------------
Well, that was pure crap. I hate to end this so suddenly and so short, but I wanted this chapter out as soon as I could. Sadly, college will start up very soon, and I will have little or no time...
And I would like to thank all of you that have participated in the Music System. I DO have one MIDI for this chapter, and it should be sent shortly after this is posted. Those of you who wish to join, just send me an e-mail. ^_^
I do want to apoligize for the length of this chapter. I do have the next few planned and in my head, and all I need is the time to type them. Hopefully, I will have some time during school... Hopefully...
And before I get to the reviews, a little hint at what happens: The residents of Vale arrive at Venus Lighthouse, and meet up with Jaspter and Gracie... Oh, and Kolar tries to convince a certain Venusian to join his side... =D
Now to the reviews!!!
Forgotten Souls - The reason the last MIDI didn't work as well is that I spent about two hours on the others, and not even ten minutes on the last. That aside, nice to know that the system does work... And Feihzi.. We will return to Prox shortly... 0_0 Again, the current batch of creatures were not derived from Metroid Prime/Godzilla inspiration... Oh, and one more thing: I HAVE FURY!!! XD
Darkness127 - Thanks again!
Great Saiyaman - Nice to know that many people are picking up on the jokes... ^_^ Thanks for the review!
SirGecko - Sorry to dissapoint you with this shrivel of a chapter... And after waiting so long... Sorry. I WILL be working on this as often as school allows... I hope... Thanks for the reviews though!
Darkcomet, Lord of Darkness - Thanks! Will try to do!
And until I get time away from school, this is Mikaa saying:
"I will return."
Sheba - Uh, wasn't that Gen. MacAurthor?
-_-
Karst - ???
I HAVE FURY!!! *fries Sheba*
Sheba - @_@
Karst - 0_0 *flees*
Do NOT anger me.... I really want to work on this!!
Agatio - REVIEW, OR HE WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN!!!
AND I DO NOT OWN GOLDEN SUN!!! I HAVE FURY!! *WHAM* @_@
Karst - We get it already!!!
NOTE - DUE TO A COMBINATION OF COLLEGE AND WORK AND A LITTLE SOMETHING CALLED STRESS, IT MIGHT BE A MONTH BEFORE I GET AROUND TO THE NEXT CHAPTER. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU ARE PATIENT WITH ME, AS MY LIVE HAS BECOME NOT ONLY VERY COMPLICATED, BUT VERY STRESSFUL. ON TOP OF EVERYTHING, I MIGHT LOOSE MY JOB BECAUSE OF A COUPLE PRICKS! *cough* But you probably don't care for the reasons... But please, bear with me, and I will continue this... Suffice it to say that in the next chapter, Isaac and Nygel take a "trip," and the rest of Vale visits a Lighthouse where a few familiar faces reside... Again, thanks for your patience.
