Anyway, since school's been my main devotion for quite a while (undergrad and now grad school), I've had little time to devote to writing. Truthfully, I don't think I would've posted anything in Golden Sun for another few years. But thanks to Sunruner for your amazing re-review of one of my stories (that in truth after rereading it was…er…not my best work I believe) I've decided to try and write again. With your review (hopefully you're reading this), I'm re-inspired to write. So a BIG thanks to Sunruner!

She had grown tired. Two years had slipped by and not a single letter, package, or visit. She had already imagined multiple reasons why he had never attempted contact.
His sister black mailed him to never leave.
Master Puelle had threatened him. Puelle was always looking out for her to the point of obsessive.
His parents forbid him.
He thought her dead.
He found someone and had new responsibilities.
He had forgotten about her.
The last thought sent a flare of anger. "Charon take me! I will find him and I will punch him!"
If her assumptions were right, a boat would be leaving in four days. Adding the days at sea, a short stop, followed by a long walk…she would arrive in a little before three weeks had passed.
It would have to do.

Agatio had arrived for a visit two days before her leave. She double checked her items, while he stood in the middle of her home.
"I still don't understand why you're leaving."
"Do I care?" She smirked at him, pleased when he groaned.
"He's done his part for us. We don't need him or any of them for that matter."
She didn't like that. Agatio was talking like that idiot Alex. "Shut up Agatio. Or by Megarea's blade, I will make you." She added a glare for good measure.
He raised his hands in defeat. "Alright." She finished with her review and walked over to the fire pit settled into the wall. The stew she made was meager in portion but decent in flavor. She spooned out one bowl full then another. The first was handed to him, and the second she kept and sat down, motioning him to join her. Agatio sat across from the fire pit and greedily ate. She too finished the meal in a short amount of time.
"The ship leaves in two days."
"Yeah. I'll leave tonight and sleep at the second Wait Station."
"Why not the first?"
"Because." She was eager. Eager to get out. To see him. "It's the best out of the three."
He laughed. "They're all the same, Karst."
"Says you." She snapped back with a hint of a smile.

Vale was in her sight now. A wooden archway greeted her in the setting sun. She paused outside of it. She flipped her scythe gracefully in the air and let it slid into its handle strap on her back. It slipped between her shoulders and her pack with ease. No need to cause unnecessary panic. She had already had people from previous towns stare at her and panic upon sight of her weapon. She wanted to avoid that here. Panic would ruin…ruin what?
Walking forward, she kept the weapon out of hand. There weren't many people out. That wouldn't do. How in Mars' name was she going to find him? She was tempted to go knock on someone's door and ask for directions, when she saw an older man by one of two wells. She got closer to him before saying, "Excuse me, sir."
He looked up at her, "Yes?"
"Do you know where a man named Felix lives?"
The man eyed her, "Yeah. He lives up there. Second tier of cliffs, fifth house after the bridge. It's the one on the end."
"Thanks." She quickly left the man and followed the stone stairs up to the second tier. Over a small brigade. One. Two. Three. Four. Five.
The house he had pointed to was a single structure. It was the last house, built near the edge of the cliff. She noticed it wasn't overly large, but hardly small. It was there, standing before the door, she suddenly had doubts and questions.
Why was she seeing him?
This was all a waste of time.
What if he didn't want to see her?
There was no point being here.
The door suddenly flew open.
"Karst?"
His voice hadn't changed.
She stared.
Review please!
