Reviews are very nice, thanks very much everyone! And thanks to Spirit Seer for telling me about the spelling errors, I will proof read for every chapter after!
Funny story, I told my boyfriend about the story (never heard of Golden Sun before this) and he told me, very simply and without shame, "unbridled lesbian passion would get more readers." He insists I think of the fanboys. Well, if my readers want unbridled lesbian passion, let me know, and I'll consider it!
----------Chapter 3----------
Previously:
As they entered the room, the man pushed Alexis into a corner. She felt a wave of nausea as to what would happen next. She raised her hand and started to focus. Just one clear-
"HALT" energy rings, similar to Alexis' emerged from the man's body, freezing her whole body. "Too slow, little Adept. And your Djinni can come out too! Here I'll introduce you to mine!" From his arm, two brown Djinn emerged and jumped onto a rug.
"Now," he said, his arms resting on her shoulders, "tell me what you intend to do in Naribwe….."
Now:
"I'm waiting, little Adept." mumbled the man, tracing back and forth along the rug. Both his brown Djinn scurried along behind their master.
"I came here….f-for a-a-a…s-s-s-she-ship!" Alexis finally said, the psynergy tightening her body. Why is this guy so strong?
"A ship, ay? Where would ye be off to then?" raising his gloved hand, he released Alexis from the Halt. She fell to her knees, finally free from the grip. Hail jumped out to her aid. "Leave her alone, you bully! She's done nothing wrong!"
Laughing, the masked man helped her up "Nothing wrong? Clearly you know nothing of this world. She's doing something wrong right now-she's still breathing!"
What is he on about now? Quick, change the subject! "Who are you?" Alexis asked, staring at the marking's on the man's mask.
"It's David. Just David. I'm a bounty hunter, capturing Adepts and handing them over to the Alchemy Guards. I make quite a living off of it, I must say."
"An Adept hunter? But you're an Adept yourself! Why betray your people?" cried Hail.
David turned to the window. An orange sky was descending into night. "I have no people. I am the last of my Tribe from Vale. I was raised by Adepts in Lemuria, and then banished. That is why I do this-I have nothing to lose. So," he slyly grinned, "what to do…with you?" David started to step towards Alexis and raised his hand once more.
"But why do they hate us? I have done nothing wrong by living! There must be a better reason! Tell me!" oh no not again…..
Seeing blue rings emerge from David's arm, Alexis knew she only had one choice. Please work….
"Foolish girl, you little-"
"PLY!" without hesitation, a small faery appeared in front of the two. As it sprinkled water on a bewildered David, Alexis began to blush. What a crappy attack! What the hell?! In a flash, the faery disappeared again. "I...er….um….take that!"
David simply stood back at her, seemingly in shock. "You-you know ply? I never though I'd see it again! Just who the hell are you?!" He grabbed Alexis' shoulders and shook violently, "WHAT CLAN ARE YOU FROM???"
"I don't know! I was abandoned as a kid! I only recently discovered my power! Let go of me!" Alexis grabbed David's arms and pushed him away. "Now tell me what's going on with you, or I'll call those Alchemy guard...Guys!"
David sighed, "Ok ok deal, just promise not to attack me. I swear not to, ok?"
"I don't trust him! Let's just leave Alexis!" growled Hail. "Hey, shut up!" shouted one of David's Djinni. "Let him talk! If he promised, he won't hurt your master. From one Djinni to another, believe me." Hail stated at the Brown Djinni, nodded then lay on Alexis' lap. As she stroked his head, she stared at David. "Ok…tell me everything."
"Ok, ok. It began five hundred years ago. This world, Weyard, was dying. Its Alchemy source was cut off many eons before by ancients priests, presided over a guardian known as The Wise One. However, thanks to eight brave Adepts, the seal was broken and Alchemy was restored. A power known as the Golden sun was then given to the group's leader Isaac, yet it was only half. The other half went to a traitorous Adept known as Alex. He was imprisoned beneath the great mountain Aleph, near my hometown of Vale and was never seen by the warriors again."
Alexis stared at David, eyes wide with awe. "Alex? That's like my name! Tell me, was he a Mercury Adept also?"
"I'm afraid so. And somehow, eighteen years ago, he managed to re-emerge from his prison. And now, he demands revenge. Thanks to his power, Alex now controls the continent of Angara. His plan is to eliminate all Adepts from this land to reclaim the rest of the Golden Sun from Isaac's descendants. So he created the Alchemy Guards to seek out and purge this land, as he calls it."
It can't be. I'm almost eighteen myself. And I doubt this name is coincidence. Could Alex be…? "So you kill innocent Adepts because of some crazy ancient psycho?!" cried Alexis. Her mind was riddled with new questions. "This Alex is just a coward. If he is so strong, why not just kill the Adepts himself??"
At that moment, hard knocks started rapping on the room door. "We know you're in there, Adept! Get out now, or face a slower death!" Alexis jumped up, fear filling her. David ran to the door and reached for the handle. "Don't," Alexis whispered, "Please don't do this. I need to leave. I need to find out more about this Alex. Please David, if not for me, for your clan. Would they want this? I beg of you!" Staring at her through his mask, David began turning the handle. "I'll hold them off. Get out that window and get to the nearest ship you can find. Alexis, I will see you again. And when I do, I'll apologise. So live on, little Adept. "Pulling open the door, David ran out and punched the nearest guard. "Thank you." Alexis mumbled, as she climbed outside the window onto the streets of the fearful streets of this dark city. I need my sword, then I need a ship. Heading for the smith, she heard screams from the room. Please live, David.
Ok so here we go! Again reviews are welcome, stay tuned for the next Chapter!
