Max-Right well to answer reviews and this chapter might be filled
with Garet Mia fluff sappiness and ectera . . not as much as you
might think?
Wonder man- you know what this story isn't concentrated on flame Adepts this is called an au fic for a reason...IT'S IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE
so in a sense I must say ......that this fic is also centered around
Mia a water adept (user sounds so coarse and stupid = P) is with the
fire adept Garet so ummmmm whatever Thanks for the review...I guess
Garet-. cooked food hooray!
To Wolfy129 (who will be known as wolfeh from here on out)-I have
plenty of room for constructive criticism!!! I need to get spell check
true and I'll use it one way or another from now on thanks . I have
been trying to crack down on my grammar which is poor and will try
to capitalize them from now on. As I have said it's an au fic so we'll
say it would be the time before they started their quest normally the
prologue was pretty much memories and background they'll make sense
after you read this chappie....hopefully I may not have been clear on
the setting though it's in the "kingdom of Imil Mia's parents were the
current rulers and her parents and grandparents were killed by Saturos
and Mendari right now it's in the middle of summer so it would be akin
to vale when they have the beginning of spring simple no?
actually think of the Ocarina of time town castle without the
temple of time and the mercury lighthouse taking its place. karst and
agatio were aleady in Imil and Garet was on a visit which became permanent
Isaac and jenna came with the current rulers of Imil which i haven't
given names. Alex the spoiled prince from lemuria is visiting and now
Mias stepparents are trying to force her to marry alex.caught up now .

Garet and Mia-ON WITH THE FIC
Max-STOP TAKING MY LINE (gurmbling)
Mia Looked up her eyes opening as Alex was laughing his fist glowing
golden a watery sword being held over her. Just before he was about
to send the sword through her ,it dissipated as Alex was knocked flying
from a glowing tackle. Just before his spiky haired visage came into
veiw she felt a cold grip around her neck. Suddenly she let loose a
blast of icicles gathering from her fingers upon it.
That was when Mia woke up after seeing she had frozen a coat rack infront
of her bed. She sat up and disentangled the frozen blanket from her neck
which had been wrapped around her neck after sporadic blasts of psyenergy.
She walked onto the balcony listening to the crickets chirp and looked
up at the stars. A new constellation looked as if it had begun to form
and Mia stared at it strangely. "Garet?" she wondered aloud and blinked
in surprise as the stars reverted back to normal to her sleep murred eyes.
She had been thinking of him more than usual and was wondering if she
was in fact in love with Garet. As she could not sleep, she sat down on
a chair watching the stars as one of her two friends which her "parents"
had called pets, a Mercury djinni. "Mistress? what are you doing up so
late?" said Fizz yawning ,rubbing sleep from her tiny black eyes with her
hooked tail. "Nothing Fizz I couldn't sleep so I came out here go back
inside with Sleet." She said as she gazed at the nearby Mercury lighthouse.
"But Mistress you-"
"Fizz do as I say not as I do" she said and then smiled at the parent
sounding comment.
As Fizz went back inside grumbling she woke up Sleet. Sleet smiled at her
indignant anger of his "sister" he laid back down to sleep next to her
yawning. As Mia herself on the balcony began to doze in and out of
consciousness slipping into dreams about Garet smiling through half
closed eyes.
The pair had been watching her room for nights awaiting for the opportunity
to present itself where they could accomplish their task. "Still think
it was a bad idea to let the girl go?" said the female of the two smirking
at her partner. He shook his head as he began to move forward. She stopped
him "not yet my friend we'll wait till we get orders. We haven't contacted
our employer yet." The man snickered "like he'll have many orders to give
us but OK." The two whisked off into the night each with the plans of
success in their heads.
Early that morning Garet wanted to see if he could catch Mia or Jenna on
the balcony to talk to him of his plans. Isaac had readily agreed so he
could spend time with Jenna. He was about to knock when he heard low
snores on the balcony. He climbed up a nearby tree with ease which had
been bred of experience. He stopped to admire her glorius beauty in her
sleeping state. That was when he fell from the tree as Jenna Walked
onto the balcony and knocked over a plant in her rush to find Mia.
Jenna was as excited by the prospect of the trip as Isaac had been when
he told her. As she opened the door she saw her friends bed was empty.
Annoyed she opened the balcony door to see if she was there. She heard
her gentle snores which were interrupted by two things. The crash of the
flowerpot falling from the door hitting it, and a male voice yelling
suddenly. She watched her blue haired friend jump and suddenly rush over
to the rail wincing from seeing Garet spread eagle on the ground.
Jenna snorted at Garet on the ground and then told Mia the good news.
"Mia, Mia guess what! Isaac and Garet are gonna go to the teleport face
and are wanting to take us to Mount Aleph!" Mia gasped in surprise.
No one was supposedly able to use the teleport face but if Garet and
Isaac could do it they would be heroes to this town!
"How are they gonna use it Jenna!No one is really able to use it."she
said questioning. "Mia did Garet or Isaac introduce you to Ivan? Wind
adepts can use teleport faces! You can finally see my home town and we
only need to get permission from your step parents!" said Jenna once
more having a spasm of excitement. Jenna frowned as a flash of doubt
came into Mia's eyes. "what? You don't belive me do you?" said Jenna
with a hurt expression. ""No. No it's not that but do you think my parents
will give me permission to go?" She said still doubtful. She could just
here the temporary rulers of Imil in her head "Certainly not we don't want
you to be joining your parents or grandparents yet!" Jenna grinned
mischievously "Then lets cause some chaos and sneak out." said Jenna
as Mia's eyes widened. "Jenna do you know how much turmoil everyone
would be in? What if something happened and we didn't come back?"said
Mia. "Then you wouldn't be made to let Alex court you and when not if
you come back maybe Alex will be gone!" said Jenna. Mia sighed finally
relenting to her freind "OK Jenna we'll do it. If just to get away from
that stuck up prince" and to spend time with garet.... thought Mia.
Garet stood on the teleport face tracing the symbols impatiently waiting
for the girls,Ivan ,and Issac. Ivan was the first to show up sneaking
through the shadows his hood up hiding his face from the villagers.
"Why are we doing this Garet?" said Ivan glancing around. "Nevermind
that did you get the item from that old shopkeeper?"said Garet sitting
up. "Yes but I still don't see why we're going to Sol Sanctum. It's not
like we can get in!." to Ivans surprise Garet began snickering. "Heh
thats what you think! We know an old scholar named Kraden. He'll get us
there!" said Garet grinning as Isaac,Jenna,and Mia walked up. As Garet
saw them he noticed Mia was trying to hang towards the back now in her
old healing robes. Only her closest freinds knew that Mia was capable
of Psyenergy and was an excellent healer. Everyone else just thought
she looked good in the healers robes. She looks good all the time
thought Garet staring at her without realizing it. Ivan smacked him in
the back of the head to get him to stop staring (notice three
to's = /) as his hood suddenly fell off. A shopkeeper looked up from
looking after his produce and gaped before screaming "IT'S THE WIND THIEF
GET HIM!!!!!" as Shopkeepers Poured from their shops Ivan nervously
ushered everyone onto the face before concentrating and muttering
"teleport" Narrowly escaping from the numerous shopkeepers.
Mia felt the strange sensation of her body being split....but with no
pain. She still had her sight as she watched mountains rush by a giant
forest with a huge tree. A city of trees, and a city of thieves. As she
looked up she saw a moutain looming. In a split second she blinked in
the bright sunlight and looked around. Her first thought was it's so
peaceful here, the next was the fact that everyone was staring. As a
grayed old man hobbled up bent with age holding onto his staff,he growled
at them. "Who are you and why have you come to our village?" He said
waving his stick at them. Garet then stepped into view as the old man's
visage of scowling was suddenly changed to one of joy. "Garet you old
scalawag of a grandson why have you returned to us! and Issac too!
How wonderful!" he said as the people gathered around.
"Jenna you're brother will be glad to see you!" "Isaac you're mothers
been worried sick" "Garet come here you're still gonna pay for ruining
my flowers!""Ivan you're not forcing the merchants in Imil to close
shop yet eh?"
As the Mayor, who was garets grandfather, went greeting the young ones
he stopped at Mia. "well hello and who is this? You're certainly a treat
for an old ones eyes such as mine! I haven't seen such beauty in all my
years. May I please ask your name young missy?" Said the Mayor leaning
on his stick again. "I am Mia nice to meet you sir"she said bowing her
head slightly. "Yeah grandpa she's a Pr-mmf!" Started Garet until Mia's
hand suddenly covered his mouth laughing nervously. "A what?" said
the mayor leaning towards them. "I'm a resident of Imil"She said keeping
her hand over Garets mouth. The old man shrugged " Right well have a nice
stay. Stay as long as you like!" he said as he hobbled off towards the
direction of the inn.
After he had walked off Mia took the hand away from Garets mouth. "Hey
why did ya do that huh Mia?" He said indignantly. "I don't want to be
treated as a princess here,home,or anywhere! If I could I would stay
here forever. It's so nice and beautiful." Garet watched as her face
seemed to fall at the thought of going back. Then..stay here with us!"
said Garet. Stay here with me thought Garet but before he had the courage
to transfer his thoughts to words she said "but I can't abandon my duties
if only I could, I cannot just abdicate.... I have to go back by at
least tomorrow." she said sighing ,looking at her feet. Garet suddenly
realized the others had headed towards kradens cottage and only him and
Mia were left in the plaza close to the psyenergy stone and the Teleport
face. Mars why am I such a coward that I can't even tell her my feelings
to this angel who has stolen my heart thought Garet as he pulled Mia
towards the cottage.
Mia looked arounddazed at the beauteous waterfalls. Having lived in the
frozen north she only saw the breif flowing rivers of spring south of
the city ,but here the place was covered in mist laden waterfalls along
rainbows galore. She rarely got to see any of this close to her home.
"Nereid"breathed Mia as Garet who had seen the sights already urged
her on. Mia felt a lishgt weight on her shoulder as she glanced and saw
the two djinni sitting there "Mistress Mia this place is..it's, amazing!
I wish we could stay here!" said Fizz in an awed voice. "Our old home
is here Mistress"said Sleet looking at the mountain.
As they finally came through the door Mia heard a squeal of excitement
come from a voice cracked and warped with age. "Amazing truly amazing
a Mercury adept finally!" said the old man poking and prodding mia
rubbing his hands up and down her. A muscle above Mia's eye twitched
ever so slightly as she pulled back her hand. SMACK!!!!. Mia gasped
realizing she had lost her temper and drifted behind Garet as the two
Mecury djinn suddenly darted into her cloak hood peaking from it. As the
old man sat up rubbing his cheek from where she had slapped him Isaac
began to admonish him "Kraden don't be excited like when you did that to
jenna and you were in the healers quarters for weeks! We're still people
and for that you're going to take us to Aleph. Today Kraden right now
ok?" said Isaac softly. Kraden's eyes lit up as he leapt up. "Mt. aleph
of course come on we must leave at once!" As they began walking out
Kraden suddenly stopped and ran back in. Mia was gazing at all of natures
bounty's while they were waiting for Kraden ,basking in the sunlight
her blue hair shimmering in the golden light amazed of the climate.
Garet watched Mia contentedly admiring her from afar as he sometimes did.
Suddenly he was flattened by Kraden running him over and heading towards
mount Aleph. He grabbed Jenna,who grabbed Issac, who grabbed Garet, who
grabbed Mia. As they were drug by the enthusiastic old man Garet finally
had enough time to dig his heels into the ground and stop them all.
"Kraden...we left Ivan" said Garet trying to stop his head from spinning
as Ivan suddenly caught up with them panting. "Kraden are you sure you;re
not a jupiter adept?" said Ivan as he began to regain his breath. Kraden
pulled on each of them in turn as he directed their cites towards the
giant door infront of them. "This is Sol Sancum which the citizens of
Vale guard. Legend has it that the four elemenal stars are stored in
this place but non have found it. Maybe with psyenergy now though we
can find it! Come let is walk into the holy Sanctum of the Sol."
said Kraden drooling the whole time in anticipation. As Kraden opened the
door a rush of bats flew out giving it an ominous air. Kraden grinned
nervously. As they reached what seemed to be the extent of the sanctum
Kraden stopped and sat down. "I know theres another way through here!
but what was it?" Garet sighed as he walked forward and leapt onto the nearby
platform holding his hand out. Mia Gasped with surprise as a large hand
shot out moving the statue sideways. Kraden leapt onto Garet and through
the door.
Garet twitched slightly before jumping up rubbing the back of his head
and leapt to the door holding it open for Jenna and Mia before shutting it on
Isaacs foot snickering. "Garet this is serious come on!" said Isaac before
promptly tripping garet and ran off to find the girls and Kraden. Garet leapt
up chasing his freind before stopping suddenly. A spirit was infront of the
other four and with Isaac being the only one with a weapon was the only one
fighting with Jenna and Mia using distance support with psyenergy. Garet
ran up unsheathing his on short sowrd leaping beside Isaac holding his sword
in a defensive position. Garet leapt forward his sword darting into the ghost.
'What? Nothin happened!" said Garet angrily resuming his stance. "Garet you
can't just damage a gohst like that you gotta put a little psyenergy into your
attack like this!" said Isaac leaping forward as right before he struck his
sword glowed yellow slightly before sapping back into his body. Garet felt
rather than heard the spirits scream as it dissapated into nothingness the
girls behind about to attack with psyenergy. Garet snorted and sheathed his
sword along with Isaac as they traveled onward. "Alright from now on everyone
stay behind me and Garet since you three can't fight much without weapons."
The group traveled on without too much mishap. They solved the puzzles as
normal until Kraden stopped them. "This is as far as the elders have ever been
and I have only been here once. There HAS to be some other way ...through
..here?" He said noticing they had all gone through a hole in the wall which
Isaac had pushed aside a statue.
"You left m-" started Kraden but stopped in shock at the sight before him
where he began to drool with excitement. "Th-Th-THE PORTAL lets go!" he said
Walking toawards the pinpoint of light in the wall. Mia and Garet followed
reluctantly and Isaac and Jenna went last. The first thing that met Garet
and Mia's ears was what seemed to be a mellow relaxed voice as if it were the
embers of a fire place. "You were rightMendari they're right on schedule."
he said. As their sight came back Mia gasped in shock at the sight that met
her eyes. "No..not again...it can't be." She said ignoring the sight of inner
Aleph. Hey eyes riveted on the blue skinned man with blue hair.
"Why look Saturos it's the little bird that got away those years ago."said the
woman hefting the scythe in a hand as her other hand glowed orange. Fireballs
gathered above her and began to rain down streaking towards mia. All she could
do was watch the one called saturous staring at him in fear.
so how do you like meh cliffie eh? I know it'll be annoying and this
chappie could have been better but oh well it'll be ok . ,V,,
