I do not own Golden sun
Jenna looked out to the landscape and spotted the small city of Bilbin. It had grown from a large town to a city in fifty years due to trade connections, a large supply of Adepts and the new ruler, Lord McCoy's daughter.
They had sent a messenger a few days ago asking for assistance to get rid of a group of Fire Bandits. They were attacking merchant carts and pillaging their wares.
Jenna had received the plea a few days ago and had set off on her horse to the city. It had took all day to get their and now night had fallen. She was relying on the light of the moon to find them. She spied a group of men hiding behind some rocks a mile away. Sliding off her horse she walked slowly to the area. She wore a red dress with gold edgings, made by the finest silk weavers of Xian. Her hair was held on place with gold shaped like a flame, a present from the Elders of Prox.
She looked only twenty-three but her eyes were that of someone much older. In reality she was fifty, however she was kept young by a gift by the gods of Alchemy, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and Mars. Their was also Sol and Luna, but those gods disliked her and any other Adepts not of their Elements.
She was a few metres from the Bandits hideout, she placed her hand on the ball under her cloak. Their was a brief glow of Psyenergy then she faded from sight. Jenna knew it would be a push to defeat twelve Mars Adepts. She needed to use fear and her status to defeat them.
The mars Adepts had formed a rough circle and were looking at a cart in the distance, one that Jenna had placed as bait. She crept silently into the middle of the circle. She allowed the cloak to fall and she was visible to all.
"Hello!" she said and the Mars Adepts turned to face her, and when they did their faces paled. Before they could react, Jenna gestured and a wall of fire prevented their escape. Twelve jets of flame roared towards her, hastily she clapped her hands and muttered a few words then the flames swerved and flowed around her, then burned out. The red djinn that rested on her head disappeared.
So much for scaring them to surrenderJenna thought, with a blur of movement from her hands, the flames surrounding them glowed white and separated into twelve flames and flew towards them. It quickly knocked them out. The cart that had approached them stopped in front of Jenna.
A bandit unexpectedly jumped up and threw a fireball at Jenna. She turned around surprised and was hit square in the chest witch flung her to the ground.
He raised his sword, ready to deliver a fatal strike.
"Plasma" a bolt of purple energy struck the Adept where he stood. Sheba flung the blanket she was hiding under in the back of the cart. "Ouch, I think I've got cramp . . . next time you can hide in the back while I be the hero and beat up some bad guys Arrrghh!" Sheba had fallen off the cart and was massaging her head.
"Sorry Sheba, he caught me by surprise" Jenna laughed.
"Huh, must be old age" she said getting to her feet. "What's that? Oh Gods" she whispered, pointing upwards. Jenna turned upwards and gasped, the moon, parts were fallen off and crashing to the earth.
"Contigo's there, we must help them!" she said jumping on her horse. Sheba quickly jumped behind her. "RUN!" Jenna shouted spurring her horse.
Soon they disappeared over the Horizon.
Issac scanned the faces of the new students. His heart warmed as he saw Sonya, his fourteen year-old daughter. She had her fathers golden hair and piercing-blue eyes. Her face and personality were that of Jenna her mother.
This would be her first year at the Academy of Alchemy, Felix had set it up 25 years earlier to teach the numerous young Adepts to hone thier powers, it was the first of it's kind since the Golden age. It had gained world renown status, and many had moved to Vale to see it. It had turned the small village to a large town, and had increased Vale's riches.
Garets and Mia's children, Erin and Alexis were already at the Academy and Ivan and Sheba's child Faran (named after Sheba's foster father) was too young to join.
Felix was finishing his speech to the first years. " And so, young Adepts, remember this, No matter how strong you are or how how intelligent, it will not do you any good without proper training and dedication. Take heed my words and you will go far, goodbye"
There was a brief scrambel as the chairs in the hall where pulled back and the children left. Sonya ran foward into her fathers embrace. "Im so proud of you, my little Sol Adept." Issac said smiling.
"Thanks, I wish mother was here though." Sonya said wistfully.
"I know, but so does she," he said, squeezing her hand. The rest of the Adepts came to greet Sonya and offer their congratulations.
"Well done Sonya, your the first Sol Adept in seventy years, hopefully you do better than the last lot" laughed Emea. Ivan was about to say something then stiffened, a blank look came across his face, then a quick smile then a frown and a look of surprise.
"That was Sheba, she said to meet her at the Sanctum, their's something wrong." Ivan said.
"What?"
He took a deep breath, "The prophecy is coming true."
