Disclaimer and Notes

Kaze does not own Golden Sun or any of the characters, although she wouldn't mind owning Isaac and Ivan. This a short one-shot piece, inspired by the ending of Golden Sun 2, and yes I just might continue it if I can get enough time, be aware that it holds spoilers for the end of the game.

In the light of the Mars lighthouse

"That's enough..." Isaac's voice cut through the voices like a knife, pained cerulean eyes refusing to look away from anyone. "I... I knew what I was doing the moment I raised my sword." His eyes glowed with a determined light "We defied the wise one in order to save the world. Our parents.. would understand." He looked at Felix "Don't you think so."

Violet eyes watched quietly as the older brown-haired man nodded, flicked back to Isaac, the auburn-haired man stood alone. Jenna's attention on Felix and Sheba, Mia and even Garet around the Vale girl.

Ivan walked over to Isaac and placed a gentle arm on Isaac, causing the olden man to jump slightly.

"Ivan?"

The blond wind adept said nothing though, silently offering what comfort he could to the older man. He'll never ever let them know just how much it cost him to say those words...Never let them see that he's suffering just as much as they are. But I can see it, see how much it hurts.

Garet's voice cut in, the fire user's voice loud and strident "We still have a chance to save Prox."

Sheba's solemn voice followed "Yes... We may not have been able to have saved your parents Jenna, but we can save countless others."

Isaac winced a little at the mention of the words parents, but at Ivan's enquiring look he whispered, his voice slightly hoarse "I don't regret it."

The younger wind seer wasn't deceived though. You might be able to fool the others Isaac, but you can't fool me. I know you Isaac, know you better even I warrant than Garet, for all that he's your best friend and the one you grew with.

Kraden was speaking now, urging Alex to use the Mars star to light the beacon before it was too late and Alex... Alex was listening it seemed, taking the Mars star that Isaac had once carried and approaching the beacon hole.

And then the brown-haired man hesitated by the edge, the Mars star in his hand.

"What are you waiting for?" That was Garet, impatient as ever. "Throw it you fool!"

His words was instantly met with a flurry of disapproval from Jenna, Mia.. even Sheba and Kraden. Although Ivan noticed that Piers said nothing a trace of amusement on his face.

Then Felix was opening his hand, the Mars star falling. For a moment it hit the rim of the beacon hole, tinkled before dropping into the hole.
