a/n: Well, guys, I wrote that story in one day and about a year and a few months later, I got it typed up in one day. It was fun, ne? I hope you all enjoyed it very much! This last chapter might be a little…um…dialogically wrong. (Is that a correct term? Is now!) I can't remember what all happened in the game…and I was making it mostly up just from what I remember…this part in the game made me mad because, HELLO, there was a healer I needed and she kept running away ; Silly Mia. Okay…without further ado…here's the super finale. Hope you've enjoyed this! Should I do a sequel?

I had a bad feeling today when I woke up. I dressed and went to Imil, shivering because of the bitter winter cold.
"Grandpa's quite sick," a young girl said to me, dragging me to a home.
"Oh, you're right in time, Mia," Grandma said to me. We all call the elderly couple who live here 'Grandma' and 'Grandpa' despite the fact that we're not related to them.
Today, there were three other people in Grandpa's home. One with blonde hair and blue eyes, another with fiery red hair and brown eyes, and the final with Kinsei's blonde hair and violet eyes. I nodded politely to acknowledge their prescience, and stood beside Grandpa.
Relax, focus, concentrate, cast Ply…but something felt wrong. Terribly wrong. Grandpa was okay, but it was something else.
"I have to go back to the Lighthouse," I exclaimed, running to the Lighthouse. I made it back in record time.
A pillar sat in front of the door. Where it came from and how it got there, I didn't know. I clenched my fists, trying to devise a plan, when the pillar suddenly moved! This was surprising enough, but even worse…the portal-like door was already open!
"But only descendants of the Mercury Clan can open the Mercury Lighthouse!" I cried out, and rushed in.
A huge monster blocked my path. I guess today just wasn't my day. I tried to dart around it, confused as why a monster would be in such a pure place, when the three boys from Grandpa's house killed the monster for me! I thanked them and rushed ahead.
Something was terribly wrong with the Lighthouse. An evil heart must have entered, for the place was filled with monsters, an evil aura, and was impossible to navigate through. The three boys helped me again, and for some reason, I felt like I could trust them. They introduced themselves as Issac, Garet, and Ivan, and I joined their group as we battled our way to the top of the Mercury Lighthouse, carried up to the aerie by the spirits of the Mercury Lighthouse on wings of fluid grace.
It was then that I noticed Issac, Garet, and Ivan's peculiar powers.
"Are…are you healers, too?" I questioned in disbelief.
No, they weren't. Issac and Garet were Adepts, people who could use psynergy, from Vale. These people named Saturous and Menardi broke into the Sol Sanctum (I guess it's special to them like the Lighthouse is special to me) and stole four elemental stars. Worst of all, they plan to light the Lighthouses! Issac is a Venus Adept with the power of Earth, Garet is a Mars Adept with the power of fire, and Ivan is a Jupiter Adept with the power of wind. I…I am a Mercury Adept, blessed with the powers of water. These people are on a quest to stop Sataurous and Menardi from lighting the lighthouses and return the elemental stars to Sol Sanctum.
They even have Djinnis like Fizz! Fizz seems to know their Djinnis. It's quite cute. But anyway, so we get to the top of the Lighthouse, and there are people there! There's Satarous and Menardi, and then there's Issac's friends Jenna, Felix, and Kraden. But also at the top of the Mercury Lighthouse is…
Alex.
"Alex!" I exclaimed, but before I can demand an explanation, Satarous lights the Mercury Lighthouse.
I've failed at the simple task of guarding the Lighthouse. I'm a disgrace to the Mercury Clan.
I help Issac, Garet, and Ivan fight off Saturous. It's quite simple. Satarous has an elemental disadvantage, and I have a major power boost since we're battling at the top of my Lighthouse. WE defeat him temporarily, and they all escape. We go to the base of the Lighthouse, where the once dry fountain is now overflowing with Hermes's Water, the healing waters of the Mercury Lighthouse. Garet mentions they're leaving Imil to continue their quest, and I ask to come along.
"Don't the people of Imil need you as a healer?" Ivan asked.
I vaguely gesture at the Hermes's Water that Issac's collecting in a bottle.
"That's healing water. They no longer need me," I explained.
No one needs me now. I failed to guard the Lighthouse. Now that it gives off light once more, it doesn't need a guardian. Because of the healing water, Imil no longer needs a healer. I'm just a fallen angel now, nobody's angel.
So I join Issac, Ivan, and Garet on their quest. I want answers. I want to know why Alex was there, and what exactly's going on. Today, I leave the Mercury Lighthouse and Imil for the first time in my life. I'm kind of excited, despite the fact that my absence is a constant reminder of my failure.
I won't be here next month when Kasei and Kinsei return. I wonder what they will say, when they hear of my failure and learn that I left. Will Kinsei still want to be my friend? Will Kasei still call me his angel?
I feel a little bad about leaving, knowing I won't be here for Kasei's return. But I told him, no matter where I was at…I'd always wait on him. And so I shall.
I'll never know, though, what they'll think of the cast-down 'angel' that was once an acclaimed healer. I might never know. Our paths may never intertwine again.
So now I sign my name for the final time, praying that the spirit of life stay with me, keep my new friends as well as my old ones safe, and that each morning I'll witness the heavenly rising of our Golden Sun.
Mia
The end!
