I do NOT own the song 'so cold' it belongs to the band Breaking Benjamin. Nor do I own Golden Sun in any which way or form- it belongs to Camelot and Nintendo.
"So Cold"
Crowded streets all cleared away
One by One
Hollow heroes separate
As they run
They silently slinked through the streets, sneaking past the sanctum guards and slipping into the dark corridors. Someone lit a torch and led the way.
Slowly they climbed the stairs- a small group of five or so. These were merely scouts- spendable swords. The rest stayed down stairs to guard and study the symbols on the floor.
"Marcus, wait!" came the cry.
"Settle down, it's ok!"
"No, we should wait for the leaders!"
"Wouldn't you rather impress them by solving the puzzle yourself? Aren't you tired of being a scout!"
"Marcus!" There was a crash, then a scream.
The remaining scouts ran downstairs- not even taking the time to tell the leaders what happened. There was just a grabbing of wrists and running.
You're so cold
Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while
Strong men die
"Yes sir, we're the only survivers." The man nodded- trying to keep his face offical. "The rest were washed away- but we managed to come across this boy."
A 15 year old stumbled in behind them.
"And these three as well." The woman who had been next to the man nodded towards two other men and a woman in the courner.
"Please, let the boy go!" The other woman pleaded.
The elder who stood behind the mayor ignored the woman. "Son, you are an adept, are you not?"
The boy nodded.
"Can you tell us, what do you represent?"
"Venus." He squeeked.
"What is your name."
"Felix."
"Felix of Vale, you will journey with Saturos and Menardi here to light the lighthouses. You will be sent on a training mission for now." He nodded to Saturos and Menardi. "You will know when he's strong enough to re-enter the sanctum. Take caution."
"We will sir."
Show me how it ends it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try
"Karst! The messanger is in town!"
"Coming Agatio!" The girl ran outside, eager for news on her sister. Last time he brought news of success. Mercury lighthouse. HER sister and HER crush Saturos were going to save them all.
The two had reached center square swiftly, and soon caught the gloomy air the messanger had brought. He hadn't said a word but his face and movements were slow and mournful.
"I'm sorry to say." He started. "That Saturos and Menardi were felled untop Venus Lighthouse."
Karst was struck dumb. Her sister... all of their living moments together- everytime she'd thought of her sister- it was always with hate and jealousy... but haden't Menardi ever spoken sourly to her? No.
No.
"His name is Isaac." Was all Karst heard before she ran to the mayor.
"Let me go."
He looked at her as if she were crazy. she wasn't even 19 yet- she couldn't DARE to THINK about leaving.
So Karst went to bed that night, glaring at everything and burning everything she touched.
The next morning there was more commotion in town, but this time Karst didn't need Agatio to drag her out- she left without him.
In the center stood a man with long blue hair and a sneer on his face.
A hand grasped her shoulder and Karst jumped.
"He's here to choose a new pair." Agatio pointed to the man. "He was one of the ones traveling with your sister."
"Sir!" Karst jumped up and ran in. "You're taking me with you."
If you find your family, don't you cry
In this land of make-believe, dead and dry
"Alex!" Karst ran to catch up with the man. "Why didn't you save my sister."
"It was not my job."
"What kind of escuse is that!"
He stopped and looked her in the eyes.
"Mine."
"Bu-" Karst gawked as he continued walking.
"Come on, Karst, we'll avenge them." Agatio put an arm around her shoulders and pushed her foward.
"The nerve of that man..." Karst mumbled. but his hair's not too bad... Karst smirked slightly.
"So, tell me, what's the plan to destroy Isaac."
Alex refused to look at her andshrugged. "Your plan."
"You just want to be a pain, don't you! I bet you didn't even give my sister a proper burial!"
"Your sister threw herself into the lighthouse, ok? There was no body."
"We'll give her one once we're done- a sevice if not a funeral." Agatio comforted.
"My sister..."
You're so cold, but you feel alive
Lay your hands on me one last time
Now I lie here, my body is freezing... but... I'm glad I can die by your side. I'm sorry we couldn't have had more...
Agatio...
Felix...
Alex betrayed us...
Let this life have meaning...
Felix... light the lighthouse for me... avenge me... avenge all those who have died for this day...
Agatio... stay with me... don't die without me...
