Okay, on with the story!

I spoke with my friend Kinsei today. Both she and her little brother Kasei are in Imil for a few weeks. I'm not exactly sure where to say that Kinsei is from, but she spends a lot of time in Tolbi. I met her two years ago. Her little brother, Kasei, was deathly ill, and she had me heal him. They stayed in Imil for a few weeks, and I got to be good friends with her. She's one year older than me, and her younger brother, Kasei, is my age.
Last year, Kinsei came to Imil alone, but this year Kasei is with her. They've both changed tremendously. They seem so much older now. Kinsei tells me this is because their parents died of a terminal disease that Kasei passed on to them, and they couldn't get to Imil in time for me to save them.
Kasei was silent as Kinsei explained this.
"I'm terribly sorry," I apologized, feeling bad for my best friend and her brother.
"It wasn't your fault," Kinsei shrugged, changing the topic to my life. "So where's that apprentice of yours, Alan or what's-his-name?"
"He left," I replied tonelessly.
Kasei looked up from his cup of hot coffee, startled.
"So you have to keep this whole town healed yourself?" he inquired.
"Yes,"
I answered. "It's my duty as a member of
the Mercury Clan."
"Mia? Can you heal my mother, please?"
asked Sophia, a girl from Imil slightly younger than
me. Her mother's a very weak lady who
catches everything that comes along.
"Might…I watch?" Kasei quietly inquired. "I've never seen someone get healed, since I was unconscious when you healed me…"
"I don't mind," I said, following Sophia to her home.
"M-mia?" her mother, June, coughed. "Is that Mia?"
"I'm here to help, Miss June," I said calmly. I knelt by her bed and closed my eyes. I concentrated, but for some reason it was harder to focus. Was the prescience of Kasei and Kinsei distracting me? I focused harder, and suddenly Ms. June and I were bathed in the blue healing light seemingly coming from the palms of my hands.
"She's glowing blue," I heard Kasei whisper to Kinsei in an amazed tone. "Is she…an angel?"
The light disappeared. Ms. June sat up, smiled, and thanked me for my service, as did Sophia. Kinsei, Kasei, and I left. The sun was setting, so I told my friends I had to get back to the Lighthouse.
"I'm the Guardian," I explained to Kinsei.
"I know. Can you make it back alright? There are a lot of monsters around," Kinsei frowned.
"I'll be fine," I assured her.
"Will you be in Imil tomorrow?" Kasei asked.
"Most likely," I replied. I leave the Lighthouse unguarded a lot. To my knowledge, only Alex and I can open it, so it's highly unlikely that any ''intruders'' would get in. Other people from the Mercury clan would be able to open it, if there were any more, but I would gladly welcome anyone from my Mercury family into the Lighthouse. None of them would hurt it, I'm sure.
"See you then," Kasei and Kinsei nodded, and we parted ways.
To be brother and sister, they look nothing alike. Kinsei has blonde hair, and violet eyes, and is on the short side while Kasei's tall, with dark brown hair and dark blue eyes.
I can't stop thinking about what Kasei said earlier. I'm not an angel. How could he even mistake me for one? I just practice the spell of Ply, the ancient heridetary power of the Mercury Clan. Me?
An angel?
I sign my name in prayer that the sun will tomorrow rise, and that I shall be alive to witness its beauty.

a/n: As an afterthought, Sophia and Miss June are my characters too. But, uh, they're really not that important in the grand scheme of things. Also, I can't remember those two kids in the Sanctum…what were their names? Did they have names? Well, I'm not anywhere remotely close to that point in the game, so I'll just creatively not mention their names. Hope you're enjoying this! Thanks for reading!
