I do not own Golden Sun

PS, sorry it took so long, I snapped a tendon and this wasn't really the most important thing on my mind.

Chapter 3- Lead into Gold and Stuff

The four friends looked at each other not knowing what to do. Finally Alex spoke.

"What do you mean by adepts?" He asked. The other 4 sighed then smiled.

"There is an acient world this one grew from. The powers of alchemy rein there and there are tribes of people who have the power to rule elements." The boy with black hair began. Daniel interrupted him.

"Alchemy? You mean like medievil wackos trying to turn lead into gold and stuff like that?" The other adepts guffawed.

"Please." The brown haired girl snorted. "The real alchemy is the foundation of all existance in our homeworld. It is not a force to be reckoned with."

"Then why are we here?" Sam asked. All eyes turned to her. "Someone or something must be messing with this power or you wouldn't need us."

Everyone looked taken aback apart from Izz.

"Well I must say you were right Markus. She is a perceptive one." She said smiling. "You're right Sam, you are needed, all four of you, to fulfill the prophesy we mentioned a few minutes ago."

"I don't believe it. None of this makes any sense!" Vicki shouted.

"Doesn't it?" Izz said smirking. "Then how do you explain this?" She said, a flickering ball of fire appeared in her palm. No one was surprised by this, as if a girl making fire appear was the most normal thing int he world. Vicki looked at the floor.

"Can we all do that?" Dan asked excitedly.

"No." Markus said cooly. "Each one of you will have different powers, one for each element."

"Good." Alex muttered. "I don't think I'd like using fire." The boy with black hair beamed at him.

"There are 4 elements." Izz baegan. "I am a Mars adept and I can wield fire. Jupiter adepts like Markus control the winds. Mercury adepts like Troy," The black haired boy gave a small bow, "Control waters. And finally venus adepts like Rose the brunette have the power over earth."

"I'm a Mercury adept then." Alex said.

"You are." Troy said smiling. "And a very tuned in one at that."

"I think I'm a Venus adept. I don't know why, just something about it feels right when I say it in my head." Dan confided.

"Yup." Rose beamed. "Isn't it fabulous? They know who they are! Well what about you two?" She said looking at Sam and Vicki. Sam closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Jupiter." She said cooly. Markus nodded. All eyes were now on Vicki.

"M-mars." She stuttered quietly.

"You have awoken then." Izz stated. "Good. Now we shall discuss training."

"Training?" Dan asked.

"Yes." Troy began. "You need to be trained in hand to hand combat, summoning and psyenergy before you can enter our world."

"Your world?" Alex enquired.

"Weyard." Markus wispered. Suddenly a shiver ran down everyone's spine and they suddenly seemed more attentive.

"That's where the prophesy began is it? Weyard?" Sam asked, the name of the world flowing off her tongue like sweet silk.

"It is." Rose nodded.

"But what is this prophesy about? You've told us we're part of it and it predicted something bad but you never said exactly what the prophesy was about." Vicki asked. Markus, Izz, Rose and Troy looked taken aback. They looked at each other then finally Troy spoke.

"Very well, but first you need to know what happened before. You need to know the story of the great heroes."

"Centuaries ago eight heroes embarked on a dangerous quest to restore the power of alchemy to Weyard." Izz added. "Their names were Isaac the Brave, Felix the Noble, Garet the Strong, Jenna the Determined, Ivan the Reliable, Sheba the Mystic, Piers the Wise and Mia the Sincere."

"To restore the alchemy they needed to travel many thousands of miles and put the elemental stars in their rightfil place atop of the four ancient lighthouses." Rose continiued.

"When the task was complete Weyard was saved and the Golden Sun rose in the sky. But all was not well. An acient curse was placed upon the people of weyard that day. Desperate, the two jupiter adepts Ivan and Sheba used all of their psyenergy foresee the future and how to break the curse. What they saw is the prophesy." Markus said slowly. All eyes were intently on him. "The prophesy states that even though the great heroes awoke the Golden Sun the darkness had not been vanquished and by the 50th generation of the heroes Weyard would be on the brink of destruction. Only the fiftieth decendants of the heroes had the power to either break the curse and either restore peace or destroy weyard compleately."

Everyone was silent for a few moments.

"We are the fiftieth decendants then? Us four?" Alex asked.

"Yes. As are we." Markus replied. "Eight heroes. Eight decendants."

"How come you know about all of this, you seem like you've known all this years." Vicki pointed out.

"We have, we were raised in Weyard in a secret tribe founded by the heores dedicated to breaking the curse and protecting the bloodline." Rose explained.

"How come we were'nt brought up in weyard then? If we are the children of the prophesy shouldn't we have required the most protection?" Sam asked.

"The prophesy required that just as the great heroes would be split into two different parties just as the great heroes were. You had to be placed here for your and our safety. Weyard is a dangerous place and even the purest of people can be changed into the foulest creature."

"But why?" Dan asked. "I thought you said the Golden Sun had risen. Isn't that going to make people happier having a big old smiling sun?"

"It's true things were good for a while, almost a centuary and a half in fact but wherever there is light there is darkness to fight it. Because there was so much light in peoples lives the darkness grew and grew unused. When finally it grew so strong not even the SUn could stop the inevitable destruction the people fell into." Markus said.

The eight did not speak. The four raised on Earth taking in the news theotehr four had been brought up with while they watched their reactions.

"When are we to start training then?" Sam asked.

"You will learn more tomorrow. But for now we must leave." Troy said glancing at the clock on the wall. " I suggest you all have a good night's rest for tomorrow the fun begins." He smirked.

Sam and Vicki had a quiet bus ride home, neither of them wanting to say much. When Sam entered the front door she found her father standing in the hallway waiting for her. She looked at his face and knew he knew. Suddenly all the day's commotion caught up with her and she burst into tears. Her father pulled her into a hug and they stayed that way for several minutes until Sam stopped crying.

"Sorry." She said sniffling.

"It's ok Sam. It doesn't matter. Don't worry about it. You're going to be fine."

"Was it you or mum who was the decendant?" She asked. Her father looked tense for a moment then softened.

"We both were. Your mother the direct decendant of Sheba and I of Ivan."

"What was she like?" SAm asked hoping that, after all these years, and the truth coming out that she could finally ask that question.

"She was strong. And very skilled with her psyenergy. And a beautiful intelligent girl like you." He said getting teary.

"Thanks dad." She said huggin him again. "I think i'm going to go to bed now, the news has taken a lot out of me. I'll see you tomorrow."

Instead of going to sleep though she pulled out a dusty old photo album from under her bed and smiled over all the pictures of her parents when they were younger.

Thanks for reading. What did you think?
