Chapter 5
--------------------------------------------------------------
Waking to a familiar sight, Isaac was relieved when he found himself in his bedroom of the rebuilt Vale. Quickly glancing around, he noticed that everything was exactly the same as when he had left it. Sighing with relief, he began to get out of bed.
*It was all a dream... Thank the Elem-why does it feel like somethings next to me?*
Glancing behind him, Isaac's face quickly became paler than the sheets that he slept with.
"Hi, Isaac."
It was ALEX.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
--------------------------------------------------------------
Opening his eyes to the bright light, Isaac silently swore as sweat poured into his eyes, stinging him relentlessly. He wipped the sweat from his brow and eyes, trying to figure out where he was NOW.
After that "dream," he wasn't sure he was sane...
Sitting up, he stared at the figure standing at the end of the bed:
Mia.
In a nightie.
In the year and a half that he had been courting her, Isaac had NEVER seen Mia like this. A rush of light headedness flooded his brain. *Maybe this is a dream too...*
"Isaac, are you ok? You were screaming your head off!"
*Well, at least I had some reason to do it.*
"Just a bad dream, Mia. Nothing to fret over."
"Ok. Try not to do it again." She walked out, glancing over her shoulder as she did. For whatever reason, she seemed even more worried than before.
*If she wasn't "my sister" in this timeline, then we might've talked...*
Trying to go back to sleep, Isaac dreaded the thought that he might dream of yet another wacky reality. Who knows? Maybe he'd dream of one where women were men and men were...
*On second thought, let's not go there*
For what seemed like an eternity, he layed in bed, trying to stay awake. He dreaded the notion of dreaming up yet another odd-"fantasy," worried what would happen. All the while, he tried to think of something (anything!) that would keep him awake, eventually resorting to making up other possible realities.
He didn't have to try hard to think up several realities that were horrifying. Saturos had captured Mia before reaching the Mercury Lighthouse, using her as a human shield. Karst falling in love with Felix. Felix marrying Jenna. Jenna marrying Kraden. Kraden and Iv-
*Ya know, it MIGHT be better if I tried to walk to stay awake...*
Getting out of bed, he stepped out of his room, glancing back and forth to see if Mia was outside his room. Satisfied that she was not around, he walked out, passing by a closed door on the way to the stairs. Recalling that there was a spare bedroom at this point in "his world," he wondered if this was Mia's room. He considered walking in, to try to talt, but quickly realized that it would only serve to traumatize her further.
*Besides, Alex might be in there as well.* THAT notion sent a shiver down his spine, and he quickly made his way down the stairs. As he walked to the door, he heard some muffled sounds coming from the master bedroom on the base floor. At first, he dreaded that he was dreaming again, but he soon realized what it was he heard - mumbling that sounded kin to when Piers got drunk on Kraden's wine.
Deciding that it would be better to avoid the source of the noise, he made his way out of the house, wandering around the empty streets and passageways of the village. Gone was the guardhouse that watched for people climbing Aleph. The bridge was far sturdier, having been reinforced with...stone? Rocks? What WAS that they used? It wasn't anything he had seen before.
Moving away from the strange bridge, he noticed a graveyard, one that was smaller than he recalled. Probably because they didn't have a rock come down and slay a few dozen people.
Glancing at some of the markers, he found that he didn't recognize that many names, even though he had helped build (and rebuild) the graveyard where he came from.
*Where I came from, my world... No wonder I still have a migrane...*
Glancing around, he noticed a tombstone that had a familiar name:
Jasmine
Mother of Isaac
Wife of Kraden
Died of natural causes
Isaac stared at the marker, unable to avert his eyes. According to this, "Jenna" was his mother! And if Kraden was his dad...
Isaac suddenly realized that it might have been a bad thing to dream up alternate possible realities...
Did that mean that the sobbing in the large bedroom at "his" house was Kraden? Did he look like the old wacko that sent Isaac here? Isaac turned to make his way back to the house, to see who that was.
"Hello! Hello!"
Blinking in confusion, Isaac glanced around, trying to find the source of the speaker.
"Hello! Hello!"
Glancing at Jasmine's marker, he noticed a small, glowing bunny hop out from behind the tombstone. In its mouth was half of a carrot.
"Hello! Hello!"
Backing off very slowly, Isaac turned and ran, intent on putting some distance between him and the freaky rabbit...
--------------------------------------------------------------
=D
Sheba - @_@ I'm confused... Kraden married JENNA?
.... Sort of.
Sheba - o_o
Sheba - Where'd the rabbit get the carrot?
That's for a later chapter...
Sheba - Not next time?
No comment.

REVIEW COMMENTS!
Forgotten Souls - RoA has a few problems with it right now. Lack of interest, writer's block, and has more "main" characters than I have space to devote to them. That aside... The Hamma/Isaac was unintentional, as I wanted to do something odd and unexpected. You liked that? ^_^ Yep. I'm waiting for the asteroids and meteors to shatter this rock... Why not torment the teen? Especially when it's so easy! ^_^;;; Thanks!
Dark Ice Dragon - I don't usually update so fast, but I was in an extremely creative mood that day...@_@ Three chapters to one story in less than twelve hours (eight of which I slept...@_@). That aside, Kyle and Dora may or may not appear. Saturos and Menardi will probably appear as simple "name drops" until I think of a good way to add them in to this universe. After all, there are always other realities to explore...XD Thanks!
TemplarofNi - It wasn't intentional - you reviewed just after I posted. That aside, thanks for the compliments! ^_^ And the other world IS odd... And it only gets worse from here...
Ookami MX - Thanks! Well, the next chapter explains a bit more... I think...@_@ Thanks again!
wildcats1310 - That's not all... =D WANTED - D BATTERIES FOR ONE ZIGGY. WILL PAY 300 RUPEEGOLD. ^_^ Thanks!
The 8BTFreek - Well, here's yet another update! ^_^ Wait till next time...=D
Thanks to the reviewers, I have decided to move onwards! ^_^;;
Sheba - HE DOES NOT OWN GOLDEN SUN! READ AND REVIEW, OR ISAAC WILL NEVER GET HOME! AND YOU WILL NEVER SEE FELIX! XD
