Mina looked around and sighed. She wasn't really sure what to do with herself. It wasn't very often that she found herself alone. Zara was off with the Niran and Salos was doing whatever he did when he was with the boys.

This wasn't the first time that she had thought about just how much of her life revolved around Salos and Zara. She really needed to find other people to spend time with. Granted, she did have Ugo but he was off with Zara. She was very much alone right now and very bored, and a bored Mina tended to be a dangerous Mina, something that she picked from Zara.

Mina wandered around the base looking for something to do. She sighed, normally Salos would be talking her ear off or Zara would have dragged her off to train or do some girl talk. She hated training, but she loved when Zara would sit and talk with her.

She loved her brother, she really did but sometimes it was nice to have a girl to talk too. Someone who she could talked about boys with. Granted, she wasn't very interested in a lot of boys but there was this one that had just joined them. He had that whole dark, bad boy vibe to him. Salos hated how he wasn't scared of him, and Zara loved that there was someone who wasn't scared to stand up to Salos.

As Z liked to put it, Salos had got a little to big for his breeches and she wasn't always here to knock him down and peg or two.

Not that Salos was always that bad. It had been years since him and Zara had a dragged out fight.

Mina continued to wander around looking for something to do. She tended to be restless if Salos was away from her for too long. She knew that he was okay, their bond told her that much, but the bond wasn't they same as having her right next to her.

Before long, she made it the library, which also served as Solomon's office most days. She was pretty sure that he had an actually office somewhere in the base, but, more times than not, you could find him here. His nose buried in a book. The books could range from great works of fiction to battle strategy.

Today, he was reading some silly children's book about a fox. She smiled and guessed that she wasn't the only missing their siblings. She knew that Zara and Solomon were closer than your average magician family.

"Solomon?" she called out as she made her way through the maze of books that he had stacked around him.

He looked up from his book and smiled softly at Mina. He wasn't surprised that she had found him. He knew that Mina would never admit it but she didn't like to be alone. For most of her young life she had been surrounded by people.

Not that he could say much either. He hadn't been truly alone since Zara had snuck her way into his life, and now he found that, as much as he said that he wanted his privacy, he hated not being able to feel her magoi.

"You missing them too?" He patted that space next to him.

Mina sat down next to Solomon and pulled a book from one of the many stacks around them. She leaned back against Solomon and wiggled around until she was comfortable and spent the rest of the day nestled into Solomon's side as they waited for their precious people to come back home.


This is for Twistedlittledoll, I hope you like it. I may have helped in creating Mina, but still find it really hard to write her and Salos at times. They are the brain-child of my Co-writer. Anyways, for any of you that have read SaS please keep in mind that Golden Love's Mina is a lot sweeter than the one that your use too. You will understand why she changes as she gets older in SaS and the later parts of Golden Love. Please Review and enjoy.
