My very first Golden Sun! I've beaten all three games before the school holiday started, so I wrote this during holiday! My second attempt writing first person's POV (the first being a collab story, which was left unfinished up to now) but I'm not sure how well this turns out for you guys and girls... (personally, I think it turned out fine)

Disclaimer: I don't own Golden Sun! I only own the idea for this story!

Golden Sun – Mercury, Mars, and Venus

Chapter 1 – Mercury Adept's Confusion

-Mia's POV-

Isaac, the Venus Adept, also the leader of my party. He left his hometown, Vale, along with his friend Garet. Along with a Jupiter Adept in the team, they met me in my hometown of Imil in their travels. The first time I saw those people, I only thought that they were ordinary people whose ambition was far out of reach. But it was also thanks to them, I was able to travel outside of Imil.

It all started when I heard the news that people had gone to Mercury Lighthouse, with the purpose of lighting the beacon. As the last descendant of Mercury Clan, who protected the lighthouse for generations, I had to stop them. With Alex gone, I was the only one left to protect the Mercury Lighthouse from being lit.

As I tried climbing the lighthouse, many obstacles stood in the way. Every time it happened, that group of people would come and help me. The leader, Isaac, was in front of the other two when he used an unfamiliar type of Psynergy to finish off the lizard which was blocking my way. I had the feeling I might need their help, but I couldn't let them bear the same burden as me, as a part of Mercury Clan.

Another time when a statue blocked my way, Isaac's party came to my aid. I was grateful to him, but I couldn't think of a reward for helping me. I decided that I would trust them, to trust Isaac as he led us to the aerie. I wished… that my abilities as a healer would help them accomplish their goal, our goal to stop the beacon from being lit.

My decision to follow Isaac as my group's leader became clearer once I met Alex once more, who had betrayed our clan and planned on lighting all the beacons. Alex had thrown his family away, and he had thrown me away, as I was no longer useful to him. Stopping Alex became my first priority, and then I joined Isaac to stop him.

Since then, my life was never the same. Having to take care of sick people every day was something I would miss once I left the village, but that was what I thought back then. As I traveled with Isaac's party, I felt… happier… I was given more freedom, not tied to my family's traditions anymore… My travelling companions became the friends I had never had before, and even a love interest.

Ever since we left the Mercury Lighthouse, I felt angry and sad at the same time. I was worried about Alex, but he didn't seem to care about me at all. It was when my feelings became complicated, Isaac would always come to me. He would do anything to keep my spirits up, as he did with Garet and Ivan. But then, I felt like it was more than that.

Almost every night I couldn't fall asleep, he would come and comfort me. He would give positive statements, neutralizing my negative ones. He knew that I wouldn't talk about Alex, so he had never brought him up into our conversation. His smile was the one I liked the most about him, bringing me hope with that determined smile of his. As time passed, I realized my own feelings for him. I was in love with him, in love with my leader, in love with Isaac.

He was a brave and skilled warrior, also a great leader and friend. He was smart and would think about things beforehand. His friend, Garet, was the opposite of him. Garet would always jump into battles without knowing who he was facing. As a party healer, I had to work extra to help him with his injuries as well.

Isaac was a quiet and caring person, while Garet was a loud one. Ivan, being the youngest Adept in the party, was the one who had to tell him to be quiet. Isaac would also hide his feelings, while Garet's feelings were obvious. I knew he had an eye on me, both Isaac and Ivan also knew. He never hid how he felt for me. I wished I could tell him I was sorry that I was in love with Isaac instead, but I couldn't bring myself to say that I was in love with his best friend. I was… afraid, afraid that I would be in the way of their friendship.

Seeing how much Isaac cared for me made me feel that he felt the same way as I did, but I became unsure after I accidentally heard Isaac and Garet talking, which was referred by Ivan as 'their daily topic'. There was one person whom they would talk about, perhaps in almost every casual conversation they were having.

A Valean girl called Jenna… Who was she? What did she look like? But most importantly, who was this 'Jenna' to Isaac and Garet? Those were the questions I wanted to ask them, but I didn't have the courage to ask them. I didn't want them… no, I didn't want Isaac… to feel the wrong way about me. If Jenna was so important to them, to him, I couldn't do anything to prevent it even if I wanted to. If they became a couple, I could only try to let him go and bless their relationship.

I became more and more doubtful of my feelings as our party reached the third lighthouse, Jupiter Lighthouse. We had climbed halfway of the tower, when an accident happened. I had a bad feeling up ahead as we walked through a small platform and I quickly moved to the front and prevented Isaac from taking the lead.

I was right. Isaac quickly stepped back as I walked to the front to protect him, but in the end the trap doors below me opened up and I fell. As I fell, I hoped that Isaac would jump after me and catch me before I fell, but what happened wasn't what I had exactly hoped for. I saw Isaac's shocked face when I fell, but Garet was the one who was quick enough to jump after me. Luckily, I landed on another small platform, but Garet wasn't so lucky.

I landed on the platform, but Garet landed on the platform's edge on his side before fell off. An arm grabbed the platform's edge and I saw that Garet was there, and he was hanging on a single arm. Unfortunately, he had injured his arm from the fall and was hanging only with one arm. I could see that he was in pain, but he didn't seem to have regretted his decision on jumping after me.

"Oh, Mia, don't blame yourself… I wasn't going to leave you down there!"

Those words… coming from Garet… I couldn't believe it at all… But yet, those words echoed in my mind, making me more confused about my true feelings. Garet was a nice person too, and I knew he was crushing on me, but never expected that Garet would risk his own life to save me…

-Normal POV-

The Lemurian boat, Piers' boat, sailed through the western sea and some waves caused by the wind made the big boat rock a little. The two parties, Isaac's and Felix's parties were united at last as they made their way towards the last lighthouse, Mars Lighthouse.

On the boat, Piers was on the wheels. Felix was on the left side of the deck, his peace was bothered by Sheba as she was trying to get his attention. Isaac, Ivan, and Kraden were in the cabins, planning some strategies. Garet was in the kitchen, looking for some food to eat. Jenna was on the left side of the deck, but on the back near the cabins while looking at the sky. Mia was on the opposite side of the deck, also on the back like Jenna.

Mia looked down at the sea, feeling uncomfortable. She let a single tear fell down from her right eye and let out a whisper, not heard by the rest of the two parties on the deck.

"I'm… so confused…"

Hm... My personality tests mostly match will Mia's, probably that's why I did fine writing this... (again, this is my personal opinion) The next chapter will be up just in a minute! Please review!
