Author Note: Thanks for the review Rain Child it's greatly appreciated.
Another thing is I have yet to beat the first Golden Sun and yet to even
play The Lost Age however, I have done as much as reading on the two as
possible so this will make more sence. Again I am sorry for grammer and
spelling mistakes but I have explained why.
Also I wanted to bring this character in to get something else going on and to explain why Sol Sanctum and the Elemental Stars have returned(in my story) so things will be a little more clear and this will more then likely be a three part version of just a lot of history and some other events happening in Vale with Ridein and some others. Sorr y the chapters short as well but I plan to work on more quickly and make them more intresting.

Elemental Arts
Chapter 4: Traveler and History(PT.1)
Vale was up and lively as usual as people continued on their daily routines as guards continued to patrol daily and the sun continued to shine brightly as the morning began to turn to midday and a few clouds graced across the sky above with a small breeze keeping a cool air ran through the trees and into the town as a man dressed in red with nearly matching hair and a cape with twin swords strapped around him and a medium sized bag stepped into the entrance of the town and looked around.
"So this is Vale...I would of figured something much larger considering what is here but oh well can't be picky. I should of expected a place with a lot of secrets to be somewhere like this."
He laid his bag down for a short second and peered around as two guards in silver armor walked over to him. "Sir may we see some idenfication and inspect your baggage." The man nodded with a short smile and gladly handed the guard his identification ticket and motioned for them to check his baggage as both seemed to notice the two swords strapped around him but did not mention anything about them even though it seemed they might of said something to him about it.
"You are clear to enter." the taller guard said handing the man back his ticket. "As a traveler I will fore warn you that an attack by theifs can happen at anytime here however, do keep it secret because a panic is the last thing we need."
The young red haird man rubbed his chin. "Why tell me this.?" he asked curiously fixing his eyes on the man.
The guard shook his head. "We have orders to give warning to any travelers that enter this town and we must warn that giving warning to the people will be considerd as a threat and you can be placed under arrest for it. The young traveler nodded. "Please do accept these terms and try to cause no trouble and do know this is all being done for these people's safety."
"You have nothing to worry about." he shook his head. "I perfectly understand. I will only be here for a short time.. I am just coming to learn about this town. You see I travel place to place and learn more to exapand my horizions on things."
The guard nodded. "Ah yes.. we get a lot of guys like you around here lately. Most come in and stay a few days then head back out on their journey and we ussualy offer some assistance in so they can reach their destination without fear of being attacked by theifs." he pointed at the man's swords. "Though it looks you won't need any protection."
The red haird traveler nodded. "That would be correct sir. I am highly trained as well and could hold off a good number of theifs on my own. So if anything happens while I am around I will be sure to help out to the best of my abilitys."
A short grin rose on his face as the guard shook his head. "Thats great to hear we don't often have a lot of help around here and since Isaac and the others left that has sort of cause a problem but I am sure with your help it would be better. May I ask your name.?"
"Ridein."
"Well Ridein I will expect some good things from you if their is an attack while you are around. May you learn what you need and have a nice journey."
Ridein watched as both guards walked off with a short smile on his face and then turned to face Sol Sanctum which was a legend in itself as it also held the power of the Elemental Stars that had brought it back when it went into the ground taking Vale with it but the villagers had managed to escape and survive however, it's said Alex had went down with it after seemingly obtaining the power of Alchemy from what he had known but Alex had never been seen again since then.
His sister Menardi had seeked the power from within but had failed to obtain it and was killed by Isaac who had lived in this village as a normal boy and had managed to keep the Mars Elemental Star and stop their plans and after that his sister Karst had went to get revenge and was also failed in the process however, Ridein was not raised the same way they were. They had both been brought up as warriors like him but misdirected and evil and power hungry as well it seemed.
Ridein on the other hand has been brought up knowing truth and justice and right from wrong. He spent his time training to become a strong warrior and seeking knowlege and justice among the world unlike his two sisters which had sadly paid for their crimes and even though he wasn't happy about it he did not blame Isaac or othe others for it and knew thats what they had to do to keep the world from being destroyed and at times he almost wanted to thank him for that. His sisters had been giving him a bad name all his life by the way they acted and what they did and people saw him as a young evil man because of them and never tried to look past that and see what he was actually trying to do.
However, he had not came to Vale for locate Isaac because he really didn't care to meet him and would of rather remaind unknown to him and other people. He had come to learn how Sol Sanctum had returned and how it still held the Elemental Stars locked away within and he didn't know how long that would take him but he figured that their was someone wise enouf around here that knew some things into it and that might of been trying to figure it out as well.
"This town is not what I expected.. I would of thought of either a large busy one or a small quiet one but this is just right in between." he said to himself camnly as he gatherd his bag and made his way to a local inn past several people who didn't seemed to even glance at him twice while others staird probaly thinking he was a theif and would not buy that he was just a mere traveler seeking to learn more. He opponed the door and pushed through into the main room up to the desk.
"Welcome to the Vale Inn. May I help you?." the young girl said with a short smiled as Ridein returned it.
"Yes I would like to reserve a room for the remainder of the time I am here." he said as a formal as he could hoping they would be able to do that and that the girl might even notice his formelness because she was pretty damn cute to him.
"No problem sir." she handed him a key. "Room number 3 and the fee is twenty-five coins a night. I hope you enjoy your stay." she said with a sweet smile that tempted him to stay and talk but he didn't have to much time for that.
"Thanks."
He smiled at her then walked on past through the corridoor lined with several differnt paintings and then down the small walkway until he came across his room and opponed the door and walked in. A table set nicely up against a wall with a single chair as an open window with a curtain left a clear view of the Volcano while a neatly made bed made out of dark wood with comfortable looking sheets and blankets neatly placed on it sit in the corner with a small table next to it along with a small lamp and matches.
Ridein tossed aside his bag and walked over and sit down on the bed relaxing a bit and enjoying a cool breeze that swept through the room from the window and looked over at the Volcano knowing he would need to find a way to get up there and search more and wonderd if the guards would permit but even if they didn't he would just sneak up through the woods which was something he was good at.
-I can't sit around here forever.. I need to get looking right away. I am quite sure their is someone around here that knows a thing or two.- he thought to himself and stood up and walked over to the window and glanced out fixing his eyes right on the Volcano knowing he would see what was inside and learn whatever happend for now but he also knew he would need a little rest before he decided to go searching even htough he didn't want to it would be had if he couldn't think straight because he was to tired to do anything.
His feet carried him over to the bed and he fell down on it and looked up at the celing hoping he would learn a lot more and soon because he had a gut feeling that something bad was going to happen sometime soon and even with everything he had read about Sol Sanctum it had never went into the ground before and rose up again. Their had been other Golden Ages and the power of Alchemy had been unlocked but it just didn't seem to add up. If Alex had really gotten that power then he should still be alive but why had the power seemingly returned or even had it or was it just restored and the power still within someone which was maybe Alex but maybe someone else who had no clue of it but for now he would just get some rest and worry about it later.
-I think I have plenty of time here to learn but then again time comes and goes pretty quickly and if I don't take this to seriously and work quickly I may not have time to do anything at all.-
His thoughts ran through his head as his eyes closed and slowly faded off to sleep knowing that he would have to work quickly and that if someone got within his way they would have to be a lot stronger than both of his sisters because his power was beyond both of their's.
Also I wanted to bring this character in to get something else going on and to explain why Sol Sanctum and the Elemental Stars have returned(in my story) so things will be a little more clear and this will more then likely be a three part version of just a lot of history and some other events happening in Vale with Ridein and some others.
