Disclaimer: The Golden Sun Saga Belongs to Nintendo and Camelot. Not me.

I apologize to those who were upset at me for take this off but I had major editing to do.

Also I request feedback AND criticism.

This story is could be citrusy! Mainly later chapters.

Lastly if there are any questions or comments I will do like jollygreendragon and put responses for questions and comments at the Author's Notes after every chapter (not including this one of course).

Now without further ado please read on!

They made it back Mt. Aleph, only to find the a giant vortex in the sky. "Goddammit, they shouldn't be around for another eight or nine years!" Both Karis and Tyrell jumped at this. Matthew barely ever spoke, let alone curse.

Tyrell then spoke up, "Maybe they already went-"

But Karis cut him off, "Tyrell, you know just as well I do, that Isaac would need the soarwing to get to Mt. Aleph."

"But what if he-"

"Even Isaac couldn't make plants or rocks out of thin air. Do you always forget about alchemy's laws."

"But what about-"

This time Matthew interjected, "WILL BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE HELL UP!"

This caused the two adepts to almost fall over out of a mix between shock and fear, they had only seen him this angry once, the time when they failed to stop the Eclipse Tower from being activated, however he was only angry at himself.

"I'm sorry i shouldn't have screamed at you guys, it just felt like some extreme rage was building inside of me."

Karis looked concerned, "How do you feel?"

Matthew was somewhat confused, "I don't know what you mean."

"When you yelled at us. How you feel now?"

Matthew realized where she was getting at. "You don't need to be worried."

"Yes she does," all three of the young Adepts turned around simultaneously yelled, "Dad!"

"And that's everything that happened," Karis said after she and Tyrell explained everything that happened on their journey, Matthew staying silent, only speaking to correct them on a couple of details. Isaac and Ivan met eyes and Isaac nodded. Ivan then stood up and walked towards the young Venus Adept.

"Matthew I'm going to need you to relax so i may read your mind to see what caused that fit of rage."

"Dammit dad!"

Isaac raised his hand for silence, "Matthew be quiet and relax."

Matthew was severely annoyed, "Fine."

Ivan began using his Mind Read and finished in less than ten minutes. He leaned to his ear and asked, "Do you want me to keep that a secret?"

Matthew knew what he meant, "Go ahead and tell him. He would probably find out anyway."

Ivan walked back to Isaac and whispered into his ear and then sat down in his chair. "Well that explains a lot. OK everyone! Time for a little trivia."

Everyone, even Ivan, was shocked.

Garet stood up so fast that chair he was sitting in fell over and slid a couple of feet, "Isaac I highly doubt that now is the time for one of your little quizzes." As Garet said this his son looked towards the window so others couldn't see his expression of humor.

As Garet picked up his chair and sat back down Isaac said, "Now's a good a time as any." Garet groaned but Isaac ignored him. He (Isaac) then crossed his arms, "Tyrell. What place, from your journey, had the highest concentration of light?"

Tyrell looked away from the window, but towards the ceiling, "Sheesh. That's too easy. Where else, but Apollo Sanctum?"

Isaac nodded, "Good." he said, "Matthew. What places were covered in the darkest shadows?"

Matthew shivered as he recalled the events of the eclipse. The fear, the guilt, the pain and sorrow, but worst of them all, the deaths that surrounded them. Hesitantly he spoke, "E-everywhere that was covered by the Grave Eclipse." He shivered again.

Isaac nodded once again. "Excellent." he said, "Karis. What will happen if light and dark mix together."

Karis only looked from Isaac to Tyrell, to Matthew, to her father, and only when her gaze fix upon Isaac again did she speak. "What do you mean, Isaac? As far as I know, light and dark can't mix. If it could that would..." She trailed off, putting her hand over her mouth. She had realized what Isaac was getting at.

Isaac then put his arms on the table. "Exactly!" he said, "Chaos is created. And your right Karis under normal circumstances light and dark can't mix, however if both are housed in a single vessel they could." he looked to his son, then to Tyrell, then Karis, "I have a suspicion, based on your story, that Alex, or as you know him Arcanus, has acquired Chaos Psynergy."

At the mention of 'Arcanus', Matthew recovered from his thoughts. "That bastard!" he yelled, slamming his fist into the table. As soon as his fist made contact with the table it caught on fire.

Isaac still sat in his chair while soil came from under the floorboards and engulfed the flame, extinguishing it.

Matthew stared at charred remains of the table. "H-how the hell did I do that! I don't have any Mars Djinn on me!"

Isaac looked up towards his his son. "The peculiar thing about a Chaos wielding Adept is that they have the ability to utilize Psynergy from other elements."

Matthew fell into his chair, from the shock of this revelation.

Isaac continued, arms crossed again, and his ankle resting on his knee, "Not only that but, as I have read in manuscripts and scrolls, Chaos Psynergy has the power to slow time around the caster, and could even distort space enough to cause a tear into another dimension."

Matthew head started to hurt. This is almost too much to take in, he thought rubbing his temples a little.

Isaac still had his gaze on his son, "That still isn't all. Chaos Psynergy will cause the wielder to stop aging entirely. Basically he has eternal life."

This is too much to take in, Matthew thought rubbing harder, but that seemed to only make his headache worse.

Tyrell had a look of annoyance, "Oh, that's a full load of bullshit!"

Karis glared at Matthew, jealousy in her eyes, then looked back at Isaac. "Even though Tyrell could have used better words," she said, "I feel the same. How can somebody gain immortality so easily."

"Let me stop you there, Karis," Isaac said with his palm facing her, "I said eternal life not immortality. There is a big difference. With immortality a person can never die, even when touched by the hand of Charon himself. A person with eternal life can be killed from battle, and disease. They only stop aging. Even Garet, Ivan, and I will succumb to old age, granted it will take hundreds, or even thousands of years, but we'll still die. Matthew on the other hand, will live forever if he never receives a fatal wound or doesn't catch a deadly disease."

"Dad, please stop talking," Matthew said to his father as his hand started glowing from casting a Potent Cure.

Isaac looked directly at his son, "Alright, I'll change the subject." he said, "Matthew, did you notice any change when you and Sveta bonded your souls."

The Chaos Adept, pulling his hands away from his head, looked at his father, "It felt strange but yet at the same time soothing and relaxing."

Isaac closed his eyes and said "I see. Did you see her memories?"

"I don't know," Matthew said as he recalled the events at the Apollo Lens, "I can't remember anything except the feeling i got and what we were doing."

Tyrell, realizing something, stood up fast, causing the same problem his father caused earlier (the chair), "I need to say something!" he said a little too loudly, "Sveta was affected by the shadows of the Eclipse in a similar way as Matt. Not to the point of unconsciousness, that was Matt's thing, but she was pretty bad; her hair always went from that usual lavender to white and she looked as if she would vomit at any second. However, for some reason whenever they made some form of physical contact, they both seemed to feel better and Matt always woke up."

"Thank you for that information Tyrell," Isaac said.

"But I'm not finished." Isaac motioned for Tyrell to continue. "Is it possible that Sveta was the same?"

Garet looked at his son, "Isaac get ready for those flying pigs I told you about. My son just gained some common sense."

Isaac looked towards his best friend, "I'll keep my eye open, Garet." he then looked back towards the Karis, Matthew, and Tyrell, "It may be possible. But my question is, why was the light harming Matthew but not Sveta, I don't know."

"I can answer that, dad," Matthew said, "She was wearing the Umbra Gear. It was made for the ancient workers of Apollo Sanctum. That has to be the reason. According to the manuscripts we read in the chambers the Gear parts were in, the workers were actually beastmen."

Isaac looked somewhat surprised. "You mean beastmen existed before alchemy was sealed away?" he said with an eyebrow raised. Matthew only nodded.

"Now, onto another matter to ease some stress." His stern look was broken by a mischievous smile, slightly disturbing everyone, "It seems my son has a little crush-"

Karis , "For the love of Iris! Can't you just accept that I don't-"

Ivan cut her off, "It's not you this time Karis."

Surprised by this, she asked, "Then who is she?"

Tyrell chuckled, "I already know who the girl is."

Matthew looked at Tyrell, "That's because I told you. I was trying to get some advice since you've actually had a girlfriend."

"Actually I lied," Tyrell said, "Sorry, Matt"

Garret started laughing, "Ha ha ha ha ha, for a second there i was shocked, i don't see how my son could ever get a girlfriend, with the way he acts."

Tyrell stood out of his chair "Dad!"

Garet looked at his son, "Tyrell, stop whining."

Isaac stood up. "We should get home. After all your nineteenth birthday is in a few days Matthew, and your mother will want to see you."

Matthew, who was lost in thought, looked up. "Yeah, let's go home, I can't wait to see mom. I haven't been in Kalay since I was eight."

"You're right Matt, we should head for Kalay." he headed for the door, stopped and then turned, "Oh, I almost forgot," he said, "it's pretty late but happy nineteenth birthday, Karis and Tyrell"

"Thank you," both of them were grateful to hear that.
