Me: My version of the prologue. I decided to put this in the beginning to
acquaint people with the knowledge of the Golden Sun genre. My prologue is
dull but it gets the job done.
(January 10, 2004) Time to reinstate my prologue. I feel the prologue is very important because it clarifies the plot that happens in my story. People who have no Golden Sun background can still enjoy my story.
In the mystical place of Weyward (shares many parallels with Earth), alchemy (or potion-making) spread throughout the land. Alchemy was the pure essence of Weyward. It controlled how life began. Alchemy gave wealth and powers to the humans residing on Weyward. This was called the Golden Age of man. Alchemy fueled human desires and ambitions. Eventually, this led to the alchemy wars. Humans fought each other with the power of psynergy (using one's mind to do supernatural things) to control Weyward. Slowly the Golden Age deteriorated and this was known as the Dark Age. Humans lived in terror from the horrors of war. Thanks to a group of Vale adepts with the guidance of the wise one, they sealed alchemy. War stopped and people began to return back to their normal lives or so they thought.
In Golden Sun, the Broken seal, which took many years after the seal of Alchemy, the sworn protectors in Vale were struck by a thunderstorm that seemed to be conjured from the Sol Sanctum. Isaac, the son of one of the protectors, was trying to escape the wrath of the storm. With him and his best friend, Garet, they moved as quickly as they could away from Mt. Aleph, which was said to explode in any minute. They escaped from the storm but not with many losses. Their village was destroyed completely and Isaac's father, Garet's girlfriend, Jenna's family was supposedly dead. It had been 3 years since the storm, Jenna, Isaac, and Garet were practicing their psynergy (psychic powers performed with the focus of the mind). They met with Kraden, the wise scholar of Vale, and he started talking about the seal of Alchemy. They decided to search for some clues in the Sol Sanctum. They managed to get into the elemental star room. Suddenly, they were ambushed by fire adepts (people who are good in fire psynergy),Sautros and Meridian. They forced Isaac and Garet to retrieve the elemental stars for them and held Jenna and Kraden hostage. Then suddenly, two mysterious figures appeared, Alex (water adept) and Felix, Jenna's brother who was suppose to be dead in the storm. They teleported out of the Sanctum, leaving Garet and Isaac to face the wrath of the consequences of the broken seal. They were saved by the Wise One, and were given a journey to stop the lighthouses from being lit, which would bring about the whole deadly cycle again. Isaac and Garet befriended Ivan from the town of Vault and reached to the Mercury lighthouse. They enlisted the help of Mia, but were unable to stop Sautros's party to light the Mercury Beacon. Both parties met again on top of the Venus lighthouse. Sautros managed to kidnap Sheba, a figure widely respected in the town of Laverlio. Isaac's party, filled with anger, managed to beat Sautros and Meriandini, but couldn't stop the lighthouse from being lit. The lighthouse crumbled and a large tremor broke a piece of land and Felix, Jenna, Sheba, Kraden and Alex were drifting away from the mainland of Gondowan. Isaac's party pursued them to stop them from lighting the lighthouses.
In Golden Sun, the lost age, Felix, Jenna, Sheba and Kraden began their journey to light the other beacons. Kraden's reason for lighting the lighthouses was to reveal the lost age of men that had been buried for many centuries. They traveled all of the lands of Weyward and even to the fabled civilization of Lemuria. Folklores were told that Lemuria was the only city to be unaffected by the seal of Alchemy. Lemurians agreed of breaking the seal and even gave Piers to help them on their adventure. They eventually made it to the Jupiter Lighthouse. They met Alex again, along with his new companions Agiato and Karst. They pressured Felix's party in to lighting the lighthouse quickly. While Felix's party was solving the riddles of the Jupiter lighthouse, Agiato and Karst were doing battle with Isaac, Garet, Ivan and Mia. Agiato and Karst defeated Isaac's party and were ready to kill them when Felix's party intervened. Agiato and Karst retreated and for the first time Felix's party and Isaac's party met. They were unsure of each other's motives but they decided to work together. Felix convinced Isaac that Weyward was eventually shrinking by the rapturous effect of Gaia falls due to the fact that the lighthouses weren't lit and alchemy wasn't released.
All 8 of them reached the Mars lighthouse. They traversed the four mini-temples in the lighthouse. They met a two-headed dragon. They defeated it and suddenly the dragon turned into Agiato and Karst. They told Felix he was the last hope and that he needed to light the last lighthouse. When the party reached the top, they met the wise one (from Sol Sanctum). The wise one said that Isaac betrayed his direct orders yet he couldn't stop them from lighting the lighthouse. Before they could light it, he called forth a "miracle". This miracle was a three-headed dragon. They slain the dragon but found out it was Isaac's father and Jenna's parents the slain. Felix lighted the lighthouse and escaped from it's wrath. The 8 of them were at Prox. The elders made their thanks and showed their parents didn't die. The 8 of them returned back to Vale just to find it destroyed. Suddenly Garet's family and Isaac's mother appeared. They had a reunion. At the same time, 4 beams of light came to Sol Sanctum. Alex was climbing Mt. Aleph. He reached the top and saw the forming of the Golden Sun. He received the power. The wise one appeared and showed that Alex wasn't invincible. He pinned Mt. Aleph on top of Alex.
Me: My official stuff comes in the next chapter, so bear with me. It is nice to state that my paragraphing sucks and I need some help saving my documents and uploading them to the server. Your comments will be greatly appreciated.
