The Secret of The Elemental Rocks
Windsbane- Disclaimer: I don't own Camelot, Nintendo or any other company that helped make the Golden Sun games. I do own the characters I make up however such as Zephyr.
Zephyr- Warning the last few times people that tried to sue Windsbane had weird things happen to them. They got shocked by 10 000 volts of electricity, a tornado appeared and demolished their house, and their gambling IOUs, credit card information, secret crushes and other dark secrets found their way into the news world ect. so my advice is do not try anything.
A/N I had originally posted this story on the forums of the previously existing site Age of The Adepts. (I used the name Zephyr on those forums just like my character's name in the story).
Prologue: The Midnight Comet
It was the night of the full moon near the town of Garoh, on the continent of Osenia. The residents of this town are all were-wolves. Many consider their race cursed because they take this form. It was a very clear and starry night for the hunt. Several adult were-wolves were out to find food for the pack. They had just caught some deer and fish and were about to head back to Garoh, when suddenly they saw a brilliant flash of purple light in the night sky, brighter than the sun. A glowing comet crashed just north of the town so they went to investigate.
When they arrived at the spot where the comet crashed, all of them were astonished at what they saw. There was a 10-ft deep crater in the ground and was covered in a fog. There appeared to be nothing else there so they turned to leave…. But then they heard crying. The leader of the party, Maha used the ability reveal to see if anything was hidden. (This power was very rare among the were-wolves and only a chosen few could learn it; however Maha had lost his human form when he did learn this power.) He was shocked to see a human baby boy there at bottom if the crate engulfed in a cloud.
He jumped from the top all the way down the crater and scooped up the child in his paw. He told the rest of the members of his party that he'd be taking the child back to their town because he could sense something very unusual about him for a normal human. They then set off to go back home and little did they know that this child would change the fate of the world.

"Hey look it's the 'normal human' everybody," taunted Jeremy.
"Jeremy do everyone including yourself a favor and SHUT-UP," I yelled back.
"What are you going to do? Bite us with your tiny fangs… I mean teeth, or scratch us with your non-existent claws Zephyr," said Janet in a high pitched voice.
"HAHAHAHAHA; look it's so scary, it's too terrifying to even be a lycanthrope", said Terry.
"Oh no look the human has come to kill us all we must stop him", mused Daniel. "We must kill it."
At that they all jumped on top of me. I jumped out of the way just at the right time and they fell on top of each other. Jeremy was the first up and started to get mad. He tried to punch me, but I blocked and gave him a hard kick in the chest. Jeremy came at me again and this time I grabbed his arm and threw him past me into a mud puddle. Then he threw mud in my eyes and I couldn't see when he charged me. Instead he ended up tripping over my foot when I was trying to get the mud off my face.
He was now raging and yelled on anger "YOU ASS! YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS ZEPHYR!" He started to glow yellow and with a flash changed into his wolf form.
This is when the real danger starts. I can beat any of these idiots easily but not when they are wolves. (Were-wolves can transform at will except for the time when the full moon is out then they are trapped in that form if they see the moon directly. When this happens they can't change back until the next morning when the sun comes up.) Jeremy started to run at me at full speed fangs bared with an insane look in his eyes. I started to run, but his friends (now transformed) blocked me and the cliffs were too high to jump and too steep to climb. I was trapped! As soon as they all lunged at me I closed my eyes in fear, but instead they never got to me.
The next thing I knew I felt an odd power surging through my body. It was as if I was part of the wind. The power started to become increasingly stronger and a large whirlwind started to blow between me and Jeremy's gang and several lightning bolts started to fall form the sky even though it was a sunny day. The gang swirled around in circles while getting electrical shocks.
When it stopped I asked, "Are you guys okay?" They looked at me terrified and started to run off in fear as fast as they could go.
I was thinking to myself what happened. Ever since I was about 6 I have been able to control the winds direction and whip up small gusts, but nothing quite as strong as right then. As they left I heard them thinking "How on Weyard did that stupid kid do that". I kept hearing what people were thinking for about 4 years now.
'I need answers,' I thought. As I walked along the path to my secret place, I tripped over a chest. 'What could be in here?' I asked in my mind. as I examined it. It was a beautiful small sword. It had the moon symbol carved on it and was made of pure silver. I recognized it to be the Hypnos sword rumored to be a treasure of Garoh that was supposedly lost. I held up my new blade and it glowed in the sun's rays.
I reached my little hideaway, which was an open valley on the mountain side. It was very peaceful with a hot spring and berries growing all over. It also held a stash of treasure. I had found several items like light armor and rare crafting materials over the years. This was the best spot to clear my head as I sheathed my new sword. I looked into the spring and saw my reflection. I was 13 years old with brown-blond hair and hazel eyes. I was very smart and quite fast. It seemed so ironic that a normal human would be thought of as abnormal; then again a human in a village of were-wolves was unheard of. I was told that some of the hunters had found me in the middle of a forest 13 years ago when I was still a young baby. For as long as I could remember I had no family and was picked on by most of the other kids (especially Jeremy and his gang). The leader of Garoh, Maha, had taken care of me when I was little until I could live on my own and was one of the few people in Garoh that showed care for me even though I didn't see him all the time. Most of the adults didn't pay too much attention to me and just passed bye without doing anything.
"Sigh. Why do I live like this" I said to myself as I started to head back home.

Jeremy enjoys playing simple games and joking around using whatever source of amusement there is. He leads his own little gang with Daniel, Terry and Janet.

Maha

Other info: You know this guy from the game and he is the leader of Garoh. He once traveled to the top of Airs Rock and obtained the power there (reveal), but somehow lost his human form in the process. In my story he found Zephyr as a baby in that forest and tried to take care of him until he could live on his own.
I hope that anyone reading my story likes the background info I used. If I feel like it or get a request I may use some of this info to make side stories or events in my main plotline. I may not use any of this info at all for my other OCs besides Zephyr, but I still wanted to add some details on these characters.
