Chapter 1: The Legend
...............................................................................................................................................................................
"Then Isaac drove his sword into the Shaman's Rod, and it cracked. Everyone started to cheer for him, and his confidence grew. The rod shattered, and Sol and Luna sealed the Fusion Dragon forever. Alex and the Wise One were never seen again. The end," Mia finished. The young blond child in front of her wrinkled his forehead.
"Mom, what happened to Queen Remedi? I've always wondered and never asked," he said.
Mia bit her lip. I still don't like thinking about it... If I had worked faster, maybe she wouldn't have...
"I'll tell you when you get older, Kristopher. I hope you understand," she said. "Now, go to sleep."
Kristopher laid down in his bed and pulled the covers over himself. "You forgot to say that Isaac married Mia and lived happily ever after."
Mia laughed. "Go to sleep."
...............................................................................................................................................................................
"Mia! I thought you went sailing off with Isaac!" Jenna exclaimed as she climbed off Tiamat's back, holding two tiny red-headed girls. "How come you're in Vale?"
"We did, and enjoyed four years of happiness alone. As soon as Kristopher was born, Dora insisted we stay here," Mia replied rather ruefully. She glanced at the young girls. "I see you've got children of your own. They look just like you!"
"Shara thinks they act too much like me, and Xyrho thinks Garet spends too much time with them," Jenna said, grinning. "This is Katheryn, four years old. And Annetta, three."
The girls chirped a greeting in unison. Mia laughed and petted them gently.
"Kristopher's in school right now, but I'll introduce you to him once he returns. Now, come on in. Felix is here too," Mia opened a side door to the castle of Vale.
"My twitty minded brother? Shouldn't he be in Lalivero?" Jenna asked, following Mia in, ignoring her daughters. Panicking, they followed her in.
Mia sighed. She needs Dora's lessons on 'How to be a good mother'... "Well, Lalivero is prospering, and Sheba hates responsiblities. She often leaves everything to her trusted officials, then runs around Kolima and Vale with Felix and their son, Delmon," she answered, stopping in front of the dining hall.
"A son? Oh, please. Felix will raise him to be Mr. Overprotective!" Jenna complained as Mia opened the door.
"On the contrary..."
...............................................................................................................................................................................
"Aww, it was just for fun!" A young male brunette protested.
"It's not my idea of fun, Delmon!" Felix raged. "You know you're psynergy isn't that strong yet. What if you had dropped Annetta?!"
"She's too fat to be seriously hurt," Delmon argued. Annetta wailed even louder. Jenna sighed and petted her daughter.
"You're right, Mia, he's entirely different from Felix. He stayed with Sheba most of the time, didn't he?"
Mia frowned as Annetta continued crying. She lifted the Mars adept and rocked her back and forth. Annetta quietened down immediately, cooing.
"Heaven, Jenna. Doesn't Garet arrange for lessons on being a mother? Or Shara?" Sheba asked.
"Well... Shara tried, but I went hunting all the time. And Garet treats the kids exactly how I do." Jenna replied.
"... Sometimes I wonder why I agreed to let you marry him." Felix groaned.
"Because Garet's actually really nice?" a familiar voice said. Everyone turned to see two blonds at the door, looking extremely alike.
"Isaac! Long time no see!" Jenna cried excitedly.
"Hey, Jenna!" Isaac greeted as he entered. The other Venus adept looked around nervously.
"What took you so long? Delmon's already back," Felix said.
"Sorry. Kraden wanted to talk about something." Isaac replied.
"So... This is Kristopher?" Jenna said, smiling curiously at the young one. He shrank back.
"Yeah. Kris, say hello."
"...H-Hello..."
"He doesn't seem very used to strangers," Jenna observed.
"And he's better behaved than Delmon." Felix added, earning himself a kick from his son.
"Daddy's a meanie."
"... Don't call me 'Daddy'. 'Dad' will do." Felix said.
"...Daddy."

"A shrine in Prox honours the protector called the Wise One. In the shrine, there is a secret room that holds four statues. They were built to look like miniature lighthouses, hence the names Venus Lighthouse, Mercury Lighthouse, Mars Lighthouse and Jupiter Lighthouse. One of each element," Kristopher stated. Everyone else, namely Dora, Kyle, Isaac, Mia, Jenna, Felix, Sheba, Delmon, Annetta and Katheryn, were gathered around the rug, listening.
"Legend says that when the four Elemental Stars enter the lighthouses, a great burst of power will be released. This power may be used for evil, so the Elemental Stars were sealed in Sol Sanctum, a sacred place in Vale. But the gods believe that one day, good warriors will use the power for good."
Kristopher stopped, looking around nervously. "Ummm... That's what Kraden said."
Applause rang out.
"That's very good for a seven-year-old," Sheba complimented.
"He actually LISTENS to Kraden in class!" Delmon complained.
"You'll be a good storyteller, I can tell," Jenna said. "Maybe I should send Katheryn to school too..."
Her daughter looked alarmed.
"Kris likes stories, both reading and writing, don't you?" Isaac said, stroking his son's hair.
"Well... yes..." Kristopher yawned.
"Okay, that's enough!" Dora said. "Kristopher needs sleep; he's still young. Everyone, it's time for bed."
Isaac rolled his eyes. "Mom, you spoil him way too much."
Dora ignored him and carried her grandson off. Mia slipped her hand into Isaac's.
"I think it's because Kristopher resembles you so much, Dora feels like she's gotten you back. She's never had a chance to see you grow up..." she whispered. Isaac nodded and sighed.
"I know."
...............................................................................................................................................................................
Well, that's the first chapter. Extremely short, I know...
Anyway, 'Kristopher' is taken from Kris and Christopher, two of my good friends. Annetta is taken from Annette, one of my best friends. Katheryn is from a friend of my friend, Catherine, I haven't actually talked to her... Delmon is from another friend, BlackDemon567.
Review please!
