Alright, I'm back with another chapter!
Isaac: ::in the happy special rainbow colored marker "Already?"::
Yup! I'm getting excited about this fic, and the ones to follow! ^-^
So don't be surprised if this is the only thing that I work on for a
while.
Okay, first things first, I only own Golden Sun in the sense that I own
the catridge, pictures, and a fan site. That's about it. I don't own
rights or anything. Second things second, I'm sorry if this offends
anyone. I know the whole "end of the world" thing offended poetry-freak
(and I'm sorry about that) and I don't know who else. There might be a
lot of references to the Bible in the next few chapters, a quote or two,
but then I'm probably going to steer away from it. It's just how the
story is supposed to go, I'm sorry if it offends anyone and if it does
offend you, don't bug Elena about it. I wrote this story, so e-mail me
at:
isaac_glen@juno.com
And maybe I'll be able to compromise. Or you could just not read the
story. Just, for heavens sakes, don't flame me because I'll probably
either ignore it, delete it, or laugh really hard about it in the next
chapter.
Chapter 6
"-and lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black
as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of
heaven fell unto the earth."
-Revelation 6:12-13
***
*How long does it take to "grab a few things"?* Isaac wondered,
openeing the door and jumping to the pavement. They were parked outside
of Albertson's, and after an entire five minutes Isaac had become tired
of sitting in Garet's truck. The rain from that morning had cleared up
for the most part, only a few dull grey clouds remaining in the pale blue
sky.
Isaac wrapped his arms tightly around himself when a brisk wind
started up, its icy fingers trying to find their way through his thin
jacket. He sighed and leaned up against the closed passenger side door,
looking up into the sky.
*That's weird, the weather changed pretty fast,* Isaac squinted
in the sunlight. *I suppose it really could be the end of the world…and
I suppose I really shouldn't joke about things like that.*
He soon lost interest in the sky, and began to watch the shoppers
around him, hurrying to their cars to evade the cold air. Only a few
mother's trying to quiet their squealing children, a student or two, and
a guy with long blue hair tied back in a ponytail making his way to his
blue and silver motorcycle.
*Hey, it's that guy!* Isaac stopped leaning against Garet's
truck. *That weird guy that called me Nameless!*
The blue haired man stopped at his motorcycle, and as if he was
sensing Isaac's gaze looked up. After a moment, he grinned and started
over.
*And the day gets more interesting by the moment...*
"Hey," he waved. "You're the kid from yesterday."
"Yeah, that's me, Nameless," Isaac shrugged, not sure how to
respond. He didn't know the guy, wasn't really sure if he wanted to.
"Sorry about that," the guy grinned upon reaching him, and
extended one hand. "I'm Alex Glaven. And I'm sure you have a name, even
if they call you Nameless."
"Isaac," Isaac shook his hand, a little warily. He wasn't sure
what Alex wanted, or if he really wanted anything. Maybe he was a
genuinely nice guy that ran around meeting random people. Yeah. Sure.
Something like that. "Isaac Glen."
"You waiting for someone?" Alex obviously was curious about the
truck.
"Yeah, my friend Garet," Isaac said quickly. "It's his truck, he
had to run in and grab some stuff."
"So you've met Garet," this seemed to be good news for Alex, he
smiled and stared off into space. "Good. I'm a friend of Garet's, he
was thinking about rooming with me when I get my new apartment in two
weeks."
*So this Alex knows Garet. That could explain a few things.*
"You're in high school, right?" Alex was asking.
"Yeah, a senior," Isaac decided to do what he usually did. Make
as little conversation as was humanly possible to politely do.
"Cool, I'm a freshman in college," Alex seemed perfectly content
to share everything about himself with Isaac, who was starting to simply
smile and nod. "Vale University."
Isaac nodded, and looked up at the sky again.
If he had been holding anything, he would have dropped it. As it
was, he leaned heavily back into Garet's truck.
"It's an eclipse," he muttered. Only a thin sliver of sun had
yet to be covered by the moon, shining faintly, before being covered up
completely.
Isaac stared up at a dark sky, a black orb surrounded by a corona
of flame, the sun's surface. It gave off an eerie effect. It was dark,
but it wasn't. Almost like a night with a half moon. The temperature
started dropping once the weak sunlight was no longer entering the
earth's atmosphere.
"So...another piece of the puzzle set in place," Alex murmured.
"Destiny is making her move."
"Destiny?" Isaac managed to tear his gaze away from the eclipse
to look over at Alex. The older man was staring up at the sky, his eyes
almost glowing in the half-light. "What do you mean by that?"
"Get in the truck," Alex ordered. "Get in the truck NOW."
***
"An eclipse," Kraden muttered, tapping the eraser of his pencil
against his teeth before beginning to take notes furiously. "If I'm
correct, this means that the prophecies are true…"
***
Garet ran out of the store when he saw darkness fall outside of
the windows, not even bothering to finish getting the groceries that his
mom had asked for. He nearly flew out of the automatic doors, sprinted
out into the parking lot, spun around and looked up.
It was an eclipse.
"Well, Mia, I guess I'll have to believe you," he muttered.
***
"This is only the beginning," Mia muttered, staring up at the sky
like the pedestrians around her.
"The beginning to an end," Sheba agreed solemnly.
***
Alex didn't bother to see if Isaac obeyed him or not, but
sprinted off for his motorcycle. Isaac didn't listen to him, he had
never seen an eclipse. It wasn't exactly an every day occurrence. Isaac
sat down on the pavement next to the truck and looked up, ignoring the
crick that was beginning to form in his neck.
Something dark slid across the barely visible edges of the sun.
And that's that! You should all be happy, this chapter was a bit harder
to do because I don't have the CD I usually listen to while writing this
story at the moment (my "loud angry sounding music CD") so...be happy.
And review.
