Many years would follow the Heroes of Weyard, and each new one would come filled with new experiences and challenges. Alliances would be tested, new homes would be made, and people from all over the world – as well as people above it – would learn of the tale of Felix and Sheba.
Kraden's own library, deemed "Kraden's Cauldron," was successful from the start. People from Vault, Kalay, and even Lunpa would come to the old scholar, seeking tomes that covered a wide variety of subjects. Within the building was also a large teaching room, where Kraden spent the better part of his remaining days spreading the knowledge of Alchemy to those just young enough to learn. His life would end happily, many years after the Golden Sun had risen.
Isaac would go on to the remote town of Izumo, forever intent on uncovering the core power of Venus and the earth. He and his wife would stay there for over twenty years, learning more each day. His child, Robin, would learn much of the element, and how his father's comrades had rescued those many distressed in the town.
Jenna would go with him, having married him two years before their move. Through her teachings, the Adepts who resided in Izumo were able to send showers of embers, learning the basics of Mars Psynergy. The new knowledge boosted their own power, which would give way to many more constructive incantations throughout the populace. She would eventually become the Prime Warrioress of the town, and Isaac dared not challenge her.
Garet quickly learned the responsibilities of leadership, and went on to lead the people of Vale in his father's stead some fifteen years following the Anemos' return to Weyard. During those years, he and his father would effectively unite four villages – Vale, Vault, Kalay, and Lunpa – into one trading system. All four towns would prosper greatly, and soon, much of Angara would travel to one of the four to gather resources.
Mia would become the High Priestess of Imil, and would begin her own hospital-oriented town just before the Bilibin Cave. Just in time, it seemed, as a new sickness began to spread in the town of Bilibin. After teaching the technique of Ply to many worthy people, the disease was quickly contained and eradicated. To her inner relief, the hospital didn't have much business following that incident.
Ivan would be released from his servitude to Hammet after his eighteenth. There, he travelled, alone, to the Lama Temple. He reunited with his sister once more, and has become her aide throughout many trials. Through their unclouded eyes, they were able to locate and unveil the precious few oases within the desert, thus aiding the suffering travelers that dared to explore it.
Piers would remain in Yallam, marrying his love with the blessing of his uncle just two years after his ship was returned to him. There, the three would stay, casually bringing rain to the land that so desperately needed it. The residents were happy at the welcome change – even the blacksmith Sunshine would spread his fame across the land, over the mountains and rivers.
As for Felix and Sheba, they would marry nearly three years following their return, on the day of Sheba's eighteenth birthday. She would give birth to twins just two years later – one boy and one girl. The two adventurers would name them Simon and Cheryl. The new family would remain in Vale, keeping themselves as a vital part of the town and the trading circuit until their natural deaths many, many years later.
Their own legend went on across the mountains and oceans, valleys and seas, and all the caves and passes of Weyard. The simple story of how two young friends travelled the world for nothing more than knowledge, intent on finding out what so many people had – a family. Instead, they found each other, and they found the truth. They were not prepared for it.
What they were prepared for was their future. And they knew that nothing could justify the taking of it. They fought against impossible odds for nothing more than to see the sun's continuous rise and fall. They faced death for the sole reason of seeing each other's being for one more day. They showed that hope could remain, even as a shadow among the darkness, when all light has been taken. And until their time came to take them, and their legacy, forever into the world, they lived.
This is the story of a young boy who was nearly killed as a teenager, trapped in a cold wasteland until new customs changed him. About how he would face down obvious superiors, for nothing more than to keep the innocent, innocent.
This is the story of a young girl, who never knew the meaning of contribution until she fell off a tower of pure energy. About how she would suffer from several demons, and would face them with the one person who could "prove" her existence.
This is the story of the Truth.
