Unmei: Yay! I'm so happy that so many people are reading my story and sorta like it. Sorry, I'm kind of hyper right now. I just came back from the mall (no, I'm not a total ditz if you're thinking that). Anyways, so far, not many people have commented about my contest thing, but here are the results:
SolJenna: 2
FelixSheba: 1
IvanSheba: 1
Seeing that the person to go with Sheba is tied, I won't do much about that, but in this chapter I'll put in some fluff between Sol and Jenna...some. Now my thanks to all my reviewers:
Cheetah7071: Thank you soooo much for reviewing all my chapters so far. But there are times when you seem too critical. My reviewers are not pushing me around at all, if you ask one of my friends, they'll tell you how stubborn I am; all I am doing is asking for suggestions, and that is very different. Secondly, let's just say times have differed since everyone has come back from their mission in GS: TLA. Also about the book, well, this is a fictional story, so anything is possible let's just say. Anyways, you should say which pairing you vote for, it's not like I'm going to sway my story just to fit the results. You're somewhat paranoid, no offense or anything. You worry that someone is going to change something just by the opinions of others. Well, please keep on reviewing.
Souungo: Thank you also for reviewing so much. I really appreciate it. I'll reveal who Luna is in the next chapter or the chapter after that.
Daidairo: Yes, you did get everyone right. Yay! You were the only person so far to actually guess. Thanks for reviewing.
Now, I do not own Golden Sun or the characters, just this crappy plot. To the story!

Chapter 6: Unlocked PastUnmei no Hana
Night had fallen in the small town Amant and the townspeople had begun to go home. A fierce storm had begun and rain and thunder crashed down upon Weyard. On a small hill that stood on the outskirts of the town was the most finely decorated house. It was the house of Lord Talbi, the mayor of Amant. Lord Talbi was a very old man—about 70—and his once brown hair graying, but he was very kind and just. Talbi had just started to eat his dinner when somebody knocked on his door. He slowly got up to see who it might be. Taking his time to the door—his maid would answer the door for him—he assumed it was just a local villager coming to complain about a problem. Then, a shriek from his maid rang through the house. Panic filled his mind as he and many other servants rushed to see what the problem was. There standing in the door, hair and clothes soaked with rain, was Sol—a bloody and torn up Jenna in his arms.
"Oh my god, Sol, what happened? No, don't answer that. Just come on in."
Lord Talbi lead Sol to his living room where his maids had started a warm fire. Sol sat down in front of the fire, making sure not to hurt Jenna. One of Talbi's maids tried to take Jenna from his hands, but he refused. She raised her fine eyebrows as if asking a silent question. Sighing, Sol reluctantly gave up Jenna to the maid letting the maid wash and clean up Jenna. Lord Talbi dismissed his other servants as he sat down upon a soft chair.
"So, care to tell me what happened to you and...?"
"Her name is Jenna...Jenna. The reincarnation one."
Lord Talbi was clearly surprised. Not just at the fact that she was the reincarnation of Mars' child Jenna, but that Sol was actually acting caring towards a person once again. He did know about the god's children and reincarnation. Lord Talbi sat there thinking and reminiscing for a while.
Flashback
Many, many long years ago, Lord Talbi had found Sol as a child abandoned at the edge of his village. He had never guessed that he was the reincarnation of Sol, the reincarnation of the son of God. Sol had no recollection of his past or who his parents were. All he knew was that his name was Sol and he was 10 years of age. Lord Talbi, who had just become the mayor of Amant, adopted Sol into his family.
Lord Talbi was married to a very beautiful lady with stunning blue eyes and crisp brown hair that fell down her back in waves. Together they had a 7-year-old daughter who had bluish-purple eyes and honey brown hair that fell straight down her back. Her name was Luna.
Luna and Sol became the best of friends until one day when a prophet came to the small town of Amant when Sol was 17 and Luna 14. He told of a story of the gods, how they created humans and feel in love with each other, of their fight and death, and how they would be reincarnated one day. Later that day, he had took Lord Talbi aside and told him that Sol and Luna were the reincarnations of the ancient god Sol and Luna. Of course, Lord Talbi didn't believe the old prophet until one fateful night when Sol and Luna mysteriously disappeared.
One week later, they were found next to the entrance of a large lighthouse, but things had changed with them. Sol was no longer the cheerful boy he once was, but instead a cold and heartless man. Luna had no warmth either, but instead a steely cold aura. They constantly fought with each other, both physically and mentally, and one day Sol cracked and mysteriously disappeared. Shortly afterwards, Luna, too, went on a quest to find the true meaning of her life and the world.
His wife fell into depressions and died a year later. Lord Talbi's heart was shattered, but he kept on going with the hopes that one day Sol and Luna would come back to him. Though the villagers knew something was wrong with him, they ignored it as long as he kept on being kind to them and went on with their daily life styles. The small village of Amant became a shadow of what it used to be like....
End Flashback
Lord Talbi had no idea why Sol had left, but he had grown to accept the fact that perhaps they really were the reincarnations of Sol and Luna. He hadn't heard from Sol for a long time, but was happy that Sol was back. His thoughts were broken quickly afterwards.
"You seem...well. Where is Luna? I expected her to be here, but it seems like she has gone," Sol said, choosing his words carefully.
"She too left shortly after you disappeared. A lot has changed since you two have left. Now, tell me about this...Jenna."
"Yes, but before that, you probably want to know why I left this village," he paused for a second as a maid interrupted and spoke something to Lord Talbi.
"I'm sorry Sol, but you'll have to wait. Wait, wait hear me out. You Jenna has been taken care of and now is awake, I'm sure that you wish to see her, right?" Sol nodded silently, and followed a maid upstairs. Lord Talbi was once again surprised to see the flicker of light in Sol's eyes. 'Sol, I hope you find happiness with this Jenna girl, but do be careful as to not get hurt again. If anything should happen to you, I don't if I could bear losing another family member again.'
Upstairs, the maid ushered Sol inside of a room and exited, closing the door behind her. There eating some food that was given to her, was a worn out looking, but clean and bandaged Jenna. Silently, Sol walked over to her and sat down on a chair next to her. Jenna looked up from her meal in a scared, un-Jenna like way. A lot had changed with her ever since she was captured. She had become less and less outspoken and more quiet and shy from the fear that Sol would somehow harm her. In a timid voice she spoke to him,
"I...I'm very sorry to cause you so much trouble. I was just trying to help you fight that gargoyle, honestly, I thought that I could help you out." She bent her head as if waiting for a blow to come...but it never did. Instead she heard Sol softly sigh.
"No, it is I who should be apologizing to you. I've been acting like a jerk lately. I guess you could say that I was afraid of showing emotions because....because let's just say a long time ago, I was hurt because of that." Jenna was genuinely surprised. Then, to add to her surprise, Sol, somewhat awkwardly, swept Jenna up into a hug. Savoring the moment, Jenna cuddled up in the warmth of Sol's body. Their bliss did not last long as the door crashed open.
"You...came back. You...came back. How dare you come back after you did such a thing to me!"
There standing in the door, hair and clothes disheveled, was a very mad, very dangerous looking Luna....
