The Calm Before the Storm
Ok, I don't own Golden Sun and I certainly don't own either Nintendo or Camelot, as I would be the next Bill Gates (except that my zillions wouldn't last two days...)
This is my first non-chapter fic, so let's go!
Calm Before the Storm
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Ivan sighed as yet another young lady passed by their table. Having served Hamlet for nearly fourteen years of his fifteen years on this earth, Ivan still was wary of girls. Having seen a variety of girls, he always wondered what it would be like to go on a date...
"She's not bad, Ivan... Although she's a bit older than you."
Gathering himself, Ivan turned to stare at Hammet, who was giving him a grin that could rival a Chesire cat's.
"How could you tell?" inquired Ivan.
"You don't work in this business as long as I have and not learn how to read faces, Ivan. It's almost as useful as reading minds..."
"SSsshhhh! Don't tell everyone! I'm already getting wierd stares..."
Again, Hammet smiled at him. "Ivan, you're a handful, but a great boy."
Ivan sighed. Although the complement made him feel better, something was nagging at him. Something felt wrong, as if... *something* was happening that would change the world...
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
"What the...?"
"Eeeek!"
"What the blazes is going on?"
"Quick, outside, before they..."
Ivan quickly became lost amongst the voices as he followed Hammet out the door, and witnessed a horrendous sight: a volcano's worth of lava and magma was shooting into the air, complete with ash and debris. And it might've just been his imagination, but he saw small gems flying with the debris...
"Ivan, pack your things. We're leaving."
Ivan whirled around to see an unusually serious-looking Hammet. *Boy, what got into him? A minute ago, we were laughing together...*
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Hammet walked through the mayor's house towards the sulking figure sitting in the back corner. He felt sorry for the child, but he had no choice, as Vault's laws held him to this task.
"Ivan, I'm about to go. I wanted to say I'm sorry that things turned out this way..."
Ivan looked up at him, and it was all Hammet could do not to make an already sad scene into an emotionally sad scene.
"Yes, Master. I'll find your Shaman's Rod, you have my promise."
"I know you'll find it, son. I know you will." And with that he left, pondering the old prophecy that the Jupiter Adept had spoken of years ago when he aquired Ivan...
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Sitting on the barrel, Ivan held his face in his hands as he stared at the ground. How could he have left the rod alone? How had he been so careless? He knew he shouldn't blame himself, for he knew that Vault was a town void of thieves.
*Or at least it was...*
Suddenly, a hand touched him.
"Hi, are you Ivan?"
Rather than get up, Ivan simply used his touch to read his mind, and quickly stood up after seeing the volcano through their minds.
Quickly, he descided to make a gamble, and descided to let these two, a blond-haired teen older than him and a wily-red head with a giant axe to match his size, in on his secret...
