Chapter 2 "Too Beautiful"
A/N: OK! I'm back again with my totally awesome yet a bit cliché fanfiction I'll Think About It. Hmm…so how is everyone finding this? Well, enough of my blabbering; let's get the fanfic started!
Disclaimer: I do not own Golden Sun, Camelot Software Planning, Nintendo, Hiroshi Yamauchi and Motoi Sakuraba does! If I did, then things would have been a WHOLE lot different!
At Prox…
The sun peeked through the snow-capped mountains to signify the arrival of morning. Light rays penetrated the city walls effortlessly and greeted the Proxians with its glaring might. Saturos raced through the small town in front of the castle with unmatchable speed. He arrived at the castle in impeccable time. He sighed; not from fatigue but from the whole situation he was in. He stood there for minutes before he straightened up and pushed open the doors. The young prince headed towards the Throne Room where he knew his father would be. This isn't going to be good…
In the Prox Castle Throne Room…
"Ahh. Saturos, my son! Welcome back. Did you fare well with your mission?" The Proxian King raised his immaculately groomed eyebrow in question as he waited patiently for his son to answer. Saturos only lowered his gaze to the polished, marble ground. He didn't want to see his father's disappointment.
"I see. Well, failure is its own punishment, my son. I hope you will not fail me the next time." Said the wise king. He lifted a hand to stroke his beard with a hard look on his face. "So, tell me what happened. Spare me no details! We need to grasp as much information as we can in this time of war!" Saturos' gaze flickered up to meet his father's. He hesitated slightly before answering with determination written all over his eyes.
"Princess Mia. She knew I was going to assassinate her that night and so mislead me by pretending to be asleep. I was fortunate enough to escape before she initiated combat." Saturos explained all of this without his voice wavering. He knew better than to show fear and doubt in front of his own father.
"It seems us Proxians are becoming too predictable," Saturos flinched; the king noticed. "Do you have any ideas, my dear son?" His eyebrow was raised again. The king bore down on the prince; trying to decipher what was going on inside his head. Saturos thought hard for awhile. His forehead creased in intense concentration before he answered back.
"We could-" The doors flung wide open as a frantic looking castle guard came in. His entire body radiated urgency and he sweated profusely as well. The man took a deep breath before shouting,
"Your Majesty! Our soldiers at the front lines are being bombarded with 'Ice Missile!' We need a master Fire Adept immediately!" Saturos looked up at his father; he already knew what he was going to say.
"Go my son! Protect our warriors and redeem yourself! May Mars bless you with His burning fire! Make our Kingdom of Prox proud!" Exclaimed the King.
"Yes father. I will not let you down!" Saturos bowed and sprinted off to the battlefield.
The battlefield just outside of Imil…
The battlefield was in utter chaos. Fire and water collided with each other with neither of them showing any weakness. "Pyroclasm!" Magma erupted from a gaping hole in the ground and melted the falling ice instantly. "Is this all you have to offer me Princess Mia? Pitiful." Saturos shot a flurry of fireballs at a figure that stood at the top of the wall surrounding Imil. She shielded herself by summoning a wave of water. Steam clouded her vision and she was left vulnerable to Saturos' attacks.
He took the chance and shot fireballs at her. More explosions. Mia fell from the wall and lay limp on the snow with severe burns. Another pillar of magma shot through the ground. Saturos prowled over to her with his palm out ready to fire. All Mia felt was heat and the heavy smoke that hung in the air. Fireballs came at her again. All Mia could see…was darkness.
The Princess slowly opened her eyes to find herself in her own room and bandaged up. She furrowed her eyebrows, confused. How did I get here? All I remember was blacking out on the battlefield with Saturos coming at me… She looked around and gasped. The man she was thinking about was standing across from her bed, smirking. "What are you doing here?" Mia questioned menacingly. Her eyes narrowed and her whole body tensed at the sight of him.
"Well, what do you think?" He questioned back while continuing to smirk.
"Just answer the question!" Mia said through gritted teeth. She was getting quite peeved at Saturos toying around with her. She had enough of that. "Why am I not dead?"
"Because." He glanced at her before speaking again. "I wanted to see your reaction." The smirk widened into a grin. "And because. I think you're too beautiful to die." Saturos' answer left Mia speechless. Oh, why did he had to go and say that? She blushed and went under her covers; just like last time.
"Surprised? Well, just goes to show you really are predictable. Hn, I will be leaving now. But don't worry me dear. We will meet again." And with that, Saturos left her room in a flash of red.
A/N: And that's a wrap! So sorry again for the LONG update…was sort of busy with homework, studying for tests and had a teensy, weensy, little writer's block (I know, total poopiness!). I'll try my best to update soon! Please feel free to leave a review – constructive criticism is welcome as well! I'm all up for any advice to improve my writing! Happy doodles!
