Golden Sun: A New Saga

Prologue

Long ago, there was an ancient civilization of alchemy. The people blessed
with alchemy's powers
had lived during that lost age of man. But evil threatened the world, and so
the alchemists
sealed that ancient power away, locking it within the four Elemental
Lighthouses and Stars-
Fire, Earth, Wind, and Water. Thousands of years later, Saturos and Menardi
had lit two
lighthouses,the Mercury and Venus Lighthouses, but then Isaac and his
companions Garet, Ivan,
and Mia had defeated the dastardly duo once and for all atop Venus
Lighthouse. A supposed
comrade of Saturos and Menardi's, Felix, had tried to escape along with a
girl from
the town of Lalivero named Sheba. But the lighthouse's foundations began to
collapse,
and Sheba fell into the sea. Felix jumped after her, but both were lost...
Jenna, Felix's sister, along with the sage Kraden and Mia's former
apprentice, Alex, had escaped
the building in time and ended up on an island at sea along with Felix and
Sheba, who had
washed up ashore. Felix, with the two remaining Elemental Stars, had sought
to light the
lighthouses. Along the way, they ran into Piers, a young man who had come
from the mystic
kingdom of Lemuria, who had joined Felix's crew. Also, they ran into two
other Fire Adepts,
Agatio, who was Saturos's friend; and Karst, who was Menardi's sister. They
too sought to light
the lighthouses and also get revenge on Isaac and company. Eventually, Felix
and co. were led to
Jupiter Lighthouse, and along the way to the lighthouse's aerie, Felix
forund Isaac and
company in distress. Felix lit the lighthouse, and Agatio and Karst had
attacked them, but Felix
emerged victorious. Eventually, Felix went to the Mars Lighthouse on the
outskirts of the
cold wasteland of Prox. There Felix lit the lighthouse and, with help of
Isaac and his
companions, permanently defeated Agatio and Karst. And then that all 4
lighthouses were lit,
Felix wished his parents, along with Isaac's father, back to life.

Meanwhile, atop Mt. Aleph, Alex stood and noticed that all 4 lighthouses
were lit and the
Elemental Stars returned to Sol Sanctum. However...

Chapter 1

Alex saw the Elemental Stars returning to Sol Sanctum. But, unexpectedly,
the four beacons also
shone upon Mt. Aleph. "What in the world!?" Alex gasped. Then a nexus with
light and darkness
brimming from it opened. "The four beacons have opened the gates of light
and darkness, forming
chaos!" he cried, shocked. The nexus started sucking him in.
"Aaaaaaaaaagh!!!!"

"Alex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Mia awoke from her sleep, terrified. "Alex.........." she muttered. She had
gotten out of
bed that she slept in at an inn in the town of Vale, where it all began. She
headed toward the
lake at the main plaza. It was past midnight. Isaac got out of bed and
followed her.

Isaac saw Mia sitting by the lake, looking at her reflection. "Whatcha up
to, Mia?" Isaac asked.
Mia replied, "Alex..." "What about him?" Isaac asked.
"I saw a vision of him in my dreams last night."
"Really?"
"I saw him atop Mount Aleph."
"What was he doing there?"
"I don't know...He must've been looking over the horizon. I saw the
Elemental Stars returning
to Sol Sanctum. I also saw the four beacons shining on Mt. Aleph. A vortex
opened, and
it sucked Alex in."
"Why would you see that in your dream?"
"It must've been a vision of the past...or maybe the present."
"What could it all mean?"
"I don't know..."

The next morning, Mia had told everyone else about her dream. She told them
it might have been a
vision of the present. So then they all had climbed atop Mt. Aleph, but Alex
was nowhere to be
found. "No.....It...can't be........" Mia said in sorrow. Piers said, "Mia,
you're not the
only one who sees visions of the past or future. In my dreams, I saw Lemuria
vanish from this
world." "What could these visions all mean?" Sheba asked. Mia said, "We will
never know...
unless we search for the truth!" The Lemurian ship, which suprisingly hadn't
vanished, was
landed beside Vale. Isaac, Garet, Ivan, Mia, Jenna, Sheba, Felix, and Piers
all boarded the ship,
along with Kraden. A guard abord said, "We have found a temple that was
never there before. Let's
see what's there." They had ventured to the temple, which was at the very
south edge of the
world. Isaac, Felix and their comrades had entered, along with Kraden, as he
knew all about the
ancient civilizations.

Inside the temple, there were four Elemental Mirrors of earth, fire, wind,
and water.
Isaac took the Earth mirror, Piers took the Water mirror, Garet took the
Fire mirror, and
Ivan took the Wind Mirror. "I wonder what the purpose of these mirrors
are..." Isaac pondered.
Suddenly a creepy, hissing voice said, "You have entered here seeking the
Elemental Mirrors....
And now you will never escape!!!!!!!!" Felix, Isaac, and everyone else
except Kraden prepeared to
fight. The creature was Elemental Serpent, the guardian of the Elemental
Mirrors.
The fighters had unleashed their greatest Psynergy attacks on the monster,
but it was not harmed.
Felix cried,"Elemental attacks can't harm it! We'll have to use our physical
attacks."
So the monster was vanquished with powerful attacks. After the battle, a
gentle voice called out
to them, " So you have defeated the Elemental Serpent. You are the chosen
ones to save our kingdom."
"Your kingdom?" Jenna said, confused. "Does that mean--" "Yes," said the
voice. "Our ancient
kingdom. The kingdom, along with alchemy's secrets, were sealed away
thousands of years ago.
Those mirrors you possess have opened the path to the four Elemental
Sanctums...The Mars Sanctum,
The Venus Sanctum, the Jupiter Sanctum, and the Mercury Sanctum. There you
must pass the trials
in order to reveal our kingdom." "Aren't there traps?" Garet asked. The
voice replied, "Precisely.
The ancient peoples placed them there in order to stop evildoers from
passing any trials should
they have defeated the Guardian." Sheba asked, "Can't you disarm them or
something?" The voice
sighed. "I am afraid I cannot. I just wish you luck and hope you find the
way out of the traps."

And so they had set off in search of the elemental sanctums. What fate
awaits them?.......
