I would like to begin on how sorry I am for taking forever to update this fic. I know, the end has come for it, and I quit…Well I got in a Golden Sun rut, and I just couldn't bring myself to finish it. Most likely I will only have one more up, until at least, Golden Sun III comes out and rekindles my writing for Golden Sun. Some of you may know, I'm writing Sonic fics, and I'm working on completely updating an old Pokemon fic I did on another site. Plus, I have a Teen Titans fic in the works. Those of you who will not be reading my other fics, I thank you for reading these. Those of you who liked my Day Spa of Doom, I'm toying around with an idea for Sonic and Co. to run into the mischievous demi-god John Doe. I thank you for your patience, your reviews, and finally, your decision to click on this fic. Without further ado, I present the seventh and final part for Death of a Hero, Birth of a Warrior.

"Alchemy may have the power to thwart death for one person, but another life must be given in exchange…" Ivan said slowly, looking at his friends.

"What do you mean Ivan…?" Jenna asked, staring at the form of the Wind Adept.

"I shall give my life…for Isaac…That way I will take this tainted Golden Sun and make sure Sheba and Alex never get to use it…" Ivan explained slowly, looking down at his hands. His sword fell to the ground with a clank, and before anyone could stop him, Ivan was blanketed in a golden light.

"Ivan…We'll find a way to bring you back. I promise," Isaac said to Ivan, standing in the plains of Ivan's mind. Isaac was beginning to fade, his body being restored to him.

"Do not worry Isaac. I shall be fine. Jenna needs you now," Ivan grinned. Isaac grinned back, and then disappeared.

The Jupiter Adept turned around, and looked about amusingly.

"Now to find a place to hide the tainted Golden Sun."

Isaac stumbled forward from the light, dressed with the exact same attire he had been wearing when he was killed. Jenna ran forward and helped him up.

"Isaac? Is that you?" Jenna asked, tears streaming down her face.

The Golden Sun pulsed from behind them, rising into the air, heading for a place unknown.

"Yes Jenna, it's me…Let's go home," Isaac sighed, and stood to face the other weary Adepts.

-Epilogue-

Lemuria was in ruins, the few that survived fled to Vale with Piers.

Felix left suddenly one day, leaving behind a note that read, 'I'm off the find out anything I can about Alchemy. I need to get stronger.'

Isaac and Jenna eventually raised a family, naming their eldest son Ivan in the former Jupiter Adept's honor.

Mia became a permanent resident in Vale as well, and like Isaac and Jenna, she raised a family with Garet.

So this tale has come to a close, both sides ravaged by the short, yet decisive war. We may never no if things could have been different, but warriors and heroes are here to stay, ready for what they may be called upon.

The tainted Golden Sun lay in wait, the strongest inhabitant wondering if it could be purified somehow.

I do not own Golden Sun and all related titles. Thank you for reading, and have a nice life.
