I'm tired, and I'm not going to say anything to bore you.
Just enjoy the chapter.
Thank yous:
Net Strife: Thank you! That's weird, you had a dream
that was similar to this? I guess this whole story stemmed from the desire to
make Mia a mermaid. Then it all went downhill from there.
Flowers of Moss: Yeah! I read your profile, and yes, Strong Bad rocks.
Anon: I beat most of the game already, and I took careful notes of Isaac/Jenna
evidence. I mean I love Isaac/Mia, but I already had stuff to support that. I'm
strange, I like most pairings you can make in Golden Sun with the exception of
slash pairings (most of those fics make me gag, so I
stopped reading them), and well obvious ones you can't have such as
Felix/Jenna. I mean they're brother and sister for crying out loud! Leave them
alone!
Void: Most of the pairings I pick for this story are partially important to the
storyline. Some I'm still not sure about. But Mudshippers
do not fear! When I finally work out the kinks in my other AU fic, you won't be disappointed.
Wild Fox of the Wasteland: Shhh...I love Felix. I
really do! Felix and Sheba's
relationship is important to the storyline also.
Suh: NOOO!!! Don't gnaw on the hem of my pants! I'm
so glad this story is inspiring you! *sniff* I feel so important...for now
anyway. Hmmm...I might get a chance to go in depth
about what happened to Jenna and her mother. Especially,
later in the story. Now Felix is going to kidnap the oracle, fall in
love with the oracle and spell DOOM for everyone else! Oh yeah, the drama! The
drama! I need to stop reading Invader ZIM fics. They
make me insane.
King Surfing Pikachu: I know what you mean, I can stand a lot of different pairings. I can stand a
lot of different opinions. If you don't like the pairing I picked, you may say
so. Just DON'T FLAME ME. Not for the pairing I picked. If it's because my
grammar and spelling are terrible, that's a different story altogether.
Here's chapter seven.
--------------------------------
Chapter Seven: Deep Blue
Mia read through the several
letters she received from both Piers and her father, King Hydros.
They had been fighting for a month and it seemed endless and mundane. Piers
told her of the beautiful mountains where the Jupiterians
lived. Purple crystal spires and misty lavender clouds, all stained red with
blood because of the war. Her father told of the soldiers and how they all
fought valiantly. Mia was tired of war. She wanted Piers and her father to come
back and just stay home and be safe. She sat on her bed with the letters strewn
all over her sheets. Megan and Justin came into her room.
"Mia," said a sleepy eyed
Megan, "we can't sleep."
Mia smiled and picked up some
of her letters to make room for them. They crawled in on either side of Mia and
snuggled close.
"I miss my mom, Mia," Justin
mumbled. She nodded and patted his head. They slowly drifted to sleep. They
came into her room almost every night since the war began. Mia didn't mind too
much, they were just scared and needed someone who'd care for them while their
parents were away. Mia settled down to read one of Piers more recent letters.
She didn't want anyone to know just yet, but she really did love the guy. She
let out a yawn. Mia rubbed her eyes and decided it was really time for her to
get some rest. She put away her letters and settled in between her sleeping
cousins.
***
Mia woke up wheezing and her
eyes burned. Justin and Megan were crying and gasping for air. The water was
black with some sort of liquid and she couldn't breathe. She heard pounding on
her door.
"Stay in bed, kids!" she
choked out as she went to open it. Alex was there with her Angelic Ankh. He
handed it to her, and grabbed the two children.
"We're under attack, the water
is polluted," he coughed, "We have to get to upper Lemuria."
They four of them swam out the
castle and into the dark waters. Mia followed Alex as best she could, but she
could barely breathe, it was maddening.
"Mia hold
onto my neck, I can't afford to lose you," he said. Mia was so starved for air,
she did what he asked. When they surfaced near the shore
of Lemuria,
they were met by two black figures with glowing red eyes.
"Well, well. If it isn't
Princess Mia and the Royal Advisor Alex," said the strikingly tall figure with
red dragon wings.
"I wonder if Mia's as good an
adept as they say she is?" said a female dragon standing with him.
Alex growled, "You'd better
let us go, Garet."
Garet gave him a demonic
smile, "You recognize me? I'm flattered!"
"I'm interested to know, what will you do if we don't let you go?" said the female dragon
stroking Alex's chin. The children cowered in Alex's arms.
"Alex, get the children to
safety, I'll keep them busy," Mia said, climbing out of the water as her fins
transformed into legs. He nodded, and left. The dragon girl giggled.
"Two against one hardly seems
fair!" she declared.
"No, but it's the way she
wants to play, Jenna," Garet said taking out his sword. Mia narrowed her eyes. 'What
am I going to do?' she thought as she gazed at the two dragons poised to
attack. She wasn't at all prepared to fight, she was
still in her nightgown.
"Serpent Fume!" cried Jenna.
Mia braced as the dragon shaped flame seared her skin. She took a defensive
stance and continued probing her problem as best she could, 'Come on Mia, think! Aha! That's it!'
"Mist!" she cried. Mia struck
the dragon girl and she fell to the ground in a deep slumber.
"I see," Garet said as he
glanced over at Jenna's sleeping form, "You want this to be an all out duel
between the two of us."
"It is whatever you say it is,"
Mia said. As she stared up at Garet's hulking form, she started to wish she had
struck him instead of Jenna. 'Oh Wise One...Why did you allow him to be so
huge?' she gulped as he started barreling toward her. She dodged his attack
just in time and whacked him on the back with her ankh. He fell into the sand,
still going at full speed. Garet slowly got up, growling deep in his throat. He
seemed more like an animal than a thinking being. He made a wide swing, which
she barely dodged. His huge blade grazed her stomach and ripped through the
fabric of her nightgown. A small amount of blood began to stream out of the
wound. The cut stung, but Mia ignored the pain, and prepared to attack further.
Garet wasted no time in tackling her, and forcing her to the ground. Mia
pointed her staff at him as he drew closer to launch an attack and cried, "Glacier!"
Garet was sent reeling
backwards as the psynergy struck him head on. He
grunted in pain. 'I must be weak against her kind of psynergy,'
Garet thought as he stood to face the Mercurian
princess. She glared at him. Garet quickly cast the psynergy
of Inferno and then followed right after with a violent slash at her shoulder.
She, although injured, showed no signs of backing down. Garet was about to try
and attack her again when Jenna came up behind Mia and struck her from behind.
Garet smirked as Mia fell limp into the sand.
The prominent Mercurian city of Lemuria
was captured within the hour.
--------------------------------------
Ah, this is rich. The Mars have taken over the Mercury's territory while they
were at war. This will lead to a very interesting conflict. And let's not
forget Felix's quest to capture Sheba!
Please review, or I'll sic Alex on you. You don't want
to have Alex sicced on you. Hehehe...
