a/n: Golden Sun and Mia Nintendo's.
Kinsei and Kasei mine.
I HAVE AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! It's December, and that means that next month is Winter-een-mas! If you're an avid video gamer, or just a geek in some way or another, this is the holiday for you, so go celebrate it! If you don't know what that is, I'll post the link on my Bio page when I find it. If you just can't wait for that, e-mail me and I'll send you the file I have saved on it. Or you can go to and search for it. They're the people who know the most - Happy Holidays!

I walked up the levels of the lighthouse and watched the sun rise today. Perhaps I'll go into Imil later today. I still feel somewhat tired from yesterday. I wonder how Kasei and Kinsei are, and when they're leaving. Not that I want them to leave, or anything. I've really enjoyed their company, especially Kasei's. He's a very interesting individual, once you get to know him.
From the window, I see someone walking towards the Lighthouse. I reach for my wooden staff, clutching the smooth rod in my hands. No one comes to the Mercury Lighthouse…unless…
I hold my breath. Has Alex finally returned??? I dash down the lighthouse, throwing on my cloak and shoes. The person is almost here! I just wish I had time to tie my hair back…right now it's hanging straight…
When I got outside, my heart skipped a beat. I'd so expected to see the blue hair and eyes of Alex…but I wasn't sure whether to be happy or disappointed when I saw that it was Kasei.
"Kasei?"
"I…wanted to thank you again for yesterday," Kasei said.
"You're quite welcome," I replied.
"Kinsei and I leave for Kalay tomorrow," he said, and my heart felt like it fell to the floor in disappointment. I tried to ignore it. If today were to be our last day together, I would want to enjoy it to its fullest. "I was thinking we could spend the day together?"
I looked behind him, but no one was there.
"Where's Kinsei, then?"
"I meant just you and I…" he trailed off awkwardly.
"Of course," I blushed. "That would be nice."
Kasei smiled. I sealed the portal-like door to the Lighthouse, checked quickly to make sure it was completely sealed, and followed him.
The day passed by quickly. We walked around (mainly in Imil because it was a monster-free zone) talking for the longest time. We talked about everything, from his life as a traveling swordmaker (yes, Yuri makes his own enchanted blades!) to my life in Imil.
"So you're the last one of the Mercury Clan?" he asked.
"Since I don't know Alex's whereabouts and still have yet to meet anyone else, yes," I answered.
"So you have to guard the Lighthouse and stay as Imil's healer?"
"Basically."
Kasei stared at the sky. I found my heart fluttered when I looked at him, though I wasn't exactly sure why.
"I'm a born wanderer," he commented. "I hate staying in one place for too long. Your main element is water, right?"
What this had to do with traveling, I would never learn.
"Water and Ice," I answered.
"I'll make you a sword. Small, light…easy to use, but strong. Kinsei and I will return in a month. I'll give it to you then."
"Thank you, Kasei," I said, moved by his act of kindness.
He walked me back to the Lighthouse as the sun was just beginning to set.
"It's the least I can do," he said to me, continuing our previous conversation about him making me a sword. "Mia…you saved my life, twice. You're…my guardian angel, Mia," he said as he kissed my forehead. "I owe you. Thank you, for everything," he pressed a ring with healing powers into my hand and disappears into the snow.
I think about my day, and decide that I'm very anxiously anticipating his safe return to Imil.
So as I sign my name, I pray for another breath of life and the safety of Akitaiyo Kasei.
