Golden Sun: Tainted War
A pigeon lifts up from an oak tree and circles the remnants. Sol Sanctum left in shambles after the Golden Sun rose once again eight days before. The pigeon lands on a smooth rock where the entrance to Sol Sanctum once stood, in lavish glory, made by sages many generations ago. The mountain side has been eroded away and the northern snow is almost visible from the low plains of Vale. The rubble of the remnants is made up of smooth rocks, as if the power of Alchemy itself crumbled the Sanctum. This is the way it is now, but the people of Vale vow to rebuild the town and start their lives anew, with the power of Alchemy at their side.
Suddenly, a low rumble is emitted from deep below the surface. The pigeon takes off at this abnormality. The earthquakes caused by Sol Sanctum had stopped all together since the lighting of the four Lighthouses and the rising of the Golden Sun. Another rumble is emitted, this one louder and stronger than the first. The rocks near the centre of the rubble begin to crack, forming a smooth crevice. Water, as if flooding from the ground itself, comes spewing out of the crevice. As the water flow begins to wax slightly, a blue-haired man levitates out of the crevice.
The man was dirty from head to foot in clay and had visible bruises on both arms and a large gash above his left brow. He looks up at the Sun and squints, “So it is real then, the Golden Sun has risen,” the man proclaims, speaking to nobody from himself, “How long have I been down here?” He tries to remember why but is totally oblivious to all that has happened in the weeks before; he has lost all memory of his past deeds. He looks around at his surroundings, and then looks due south and sees humans. The people appear to be building houses over the remnants of a town. He suddenly realized that he recognized two of these people, although he didn’t know how. He could not remember their names but there was a sandy-haired young man and a young woman whose hair appears to be alight with flame.
“Isaac and Jenna,” he mouthed to himself. As he remembered their names, memories of the past started to hit him like a thunderbolt. His breath left him as everything came back. The Elemental Room, Saturos and Menardi failing at the top of Venus Lighthouse, Karst and Agatio dying to the power of the Wise One, the Wise One’s tainting of the Mars Star, the flooding feeling of failure as he fell thousands of feet to the ground. He caught his breath and felt a fresh wave of failure wash over him. He had not gained any power from the Golden Sun. He was the same Adept he always was. He felt the need to walk away to the west. He did not know where he was going, but he knew anywhere was better than here. He vowed to himself that the next time he returned to this spot, he will be more powerful than ever before. Then they will rue the day they believed they had defeated Alex, master adept.
~~~~~~~~
Five years have passed since the rise of the Golden Sun. In that time, the magnificent town of Vale has been rebuilt and is prosperous in all that it does. All the people of Weyard now have the power of psynergy at their disposal. Most of their powers are weak, but the few powerful Adepts are respected by all. All eight of the Adepts are still in good health but have spread out across the world. Isaac and Felix still live in Vale, along with Jenna and the energetic Garet. Issac is the village elder, Garet the mayor, and Jenna taking Kraden's place as teacher. Ivan said goodbye to Vault and now lives a happy life in Contigo with Hamma. Sheba lives in Lalivero, and is still good friends with Faran. Together, they speared the completion of Babi Lighthouse, which is now one of the greatest wonders of their generation. Mia also returned to Imil. Though she is not needed as long as the Healing Water flows, she still helps the townspeople with all their problems. Piers does not have a fixed location. He sails the seas in the Lemurian Ship that he once helmed with the other seven. Kraden has passed on and now sleeps happily below his old house in Vale. His loss was and still is mourned by all. In Vale, however, there are 4 new Adepts. They are all trained by Jenna and the others, and are all very skilled for their ages.
Many things have changed throughout the towns of Weyard as well. Tolbi and Kalay have combined their forces and are now joint cities. Their leaders, Hammet and Iodem, the successor of Babi have become good friends as well. Madra and Alhafra have also become joint cities after the Alhafran people overthrew the greedy mayor. On the continent of Hesperia, Shaman Village has opened its doors to all different peoples and has become a popular destination for tourists who wish to hear about the Adept’s race to the top of Trial Road and their legendary battle with Moapa. In the Northern Reaches, Prox has become a trading center to all of the Western Sea as it enters a new age. Finally, Lemuria has begun its long path to renewal but has been in turmoil since the death of King Hydros. Piers has been offered the throne but declined to continue his exploration. The throne is still open and there is a heated debate as to who will inherit it between the Senate and Lunpa. Weyard is ready, however, for something dramatic to happen. Mysterious forces are stirring and it is only a matter of time before their powers are unleashed upon the land. A Tainted War is about to begin.

"Sir Isaac, you are needed." was heard throughout the home as there were three loud raps at the door. He began to say as he pulled it open “Hello, sir. How may I be of service to you?" He stood tall in Isaac’s presence and said in a bold voice “Sir, you're needed in town square. Could you meet me there?”
“Sure, I guess, I’ll see you there. Just give me a minute to tell Jenna and Garet where I’m going.”
“I think they should come with, this concerns them too.”
Isaac was surprised how concerned the man seemed about this, “Alright.” About ten minutes later, the four of them met in town square. The psynergy stone was still there even after the destruction of Vale five years ago. The centre of town was rebuilt to be the same as it was before the destruction. The man was there, along with Felix, and he handed an envelope to Isaac. “Read it,” he said.
Isaac opened it and was stunned as he read the letter. “This is unbelievable.” He said quietly.
To the town of Vale and its residents,
The city of Tolbi is undergoing changes. We feel that our place in Weyard is unacceptable to the superiorism we possess. We have combined the forces of Tolbi with forces from towns across the Eastern Sea. The towns we have allegiances with are Kibombo, Naribwe, Madra, and Alhafra. Also, we have severed our ties with Kalay. Therefore, we control all land in between the borders of these towns.
We acknowledge the power possessed by Vale in the form of the eight adepts that lit the Lighthouses five years ago, along with the 4 new Adepts who are said to possess equal skill. We would like to possess this power and we can acquire it in one of two ways. We are extending a hand to you. If Vale and the twelve adepts join our “empire” we will spare you from unnecessary bloodshed. If you refuse we will declare war on the whole of Weyard that is not within our empire.
We have powers you cannot imagine. You do not want to test us. You have a fortnight to respond.

Here's my character, and first of the Adepts:
Name: Wiseman
Hometown: Vale
Weapon of Choice: Staff/Rod
Gender: Male
Element: Wind
Out of Battle Psynergy: Reveal, Mind-Read, Whirlwind, Cyclone, Growth, Telekinesis
Appearance: He stands a mighty 6'2 inches above the ground. He has very broad shoulders giving him the appearance of having very high endurance. His skin is a normal slightly tanned color with many scars from different things. He wears a dark green long sleeved shirt with a lighter acidic green like hoody over it. He wears brown leather pants with brown belt and also dark brown hiking boots. He has light brown hair that is sleek and slightly shiny; it is parted and combed back. His eyes are a darker brown. His face is muscular and symmetrical.
History: Wiseman grew up in a wealthy family of trades and Ironsmiths, always having whatever he wanted. He is named after the Wise One, his parents hoping it would bring him good luck in life. At his birth he was prayed over and blessed by Issac, and bears a silver star on his hand because of it. At the age of 4, his parents began to notice weird happenings, such as things moving on there own. They realized that Wiseman Blessed Star shimmered as this happened, and realized that he could use psynergy. As the years progressed he trained with a rod given to him by Issac which is power by his Star, as his psynergy is. He eventually became a popular adept in the village, and was adored by many. He recently received the news of Iodem and began to pack his most prized possessions to take with him, as Vale agreed with Tolbi’s request. The Adepts were being shipped off in place of the rest of the village, and Wiseman is readier than ever.
