I greet you all, and I welcome you to chapter 7 of my fan fiction. In this
chapter, the real adventure will begin.
I have received new names, so I will sum them up, their parts and those who made them up.
Dragon Knight gave the names -Alexander: The main guard of the healers. -Cintheya: The youngest princess.
Emili named these -Renada: She will be the queen of the Healers. -Youni: Celestia's best friend.
Oh, and Kairi Flambreeze gave me this new idea for a character. I am not sure weather I'm going to use her character or not. But thanks anyway. Keep sending names (and if you have a preference to what character, the list is in chapter 5.) Enjoy.
I do NOT own Golden Sun. Why would I write this if I did?

Chapter 7: Travellers visiting.
"There it is, our camp." Ivan exclaimed. They were sitting in a tilt cart, transporting the building materials. Surprisingly enough, the monster attacks had stopped since they had fought with the monsters.
Well, that black clocked guy did made them go away.
"We're home!" Jenna called out, as soon as they entered the camp. Everyone approached them. Including Felix and Sheba.
"And, how was it." She asked.
"Oh, nothing unusual." Isaac replied. Not wanting to worry the villagers. He winked to Sheba, and tried to signal her to mind read.
She did notice and a few seconds later her face looked a little bit concerned. She poked Felix in the ribs, and he understood.
"Okay, people. Unload the car. We have some rebuilding to do." Felix yelled at the rest of the crowd. "You don't have to, Isaac. Why don't you all come with us. I am sure you are tired."
"Actually, we've rested on our way over. . ." Garet obviously didn't understood the hint. Luckily, Jenna did. She quickly covered his mouth and smiled.
"That would be great, brother." She glared at Garet. They all followed the older adept and Sheba.
----
". . .And then, we hear this music coming from everywhere and the monsters stop to attack us. We saw this guy in black, just sitting there and playing some kind of instrument. Then, the creatures just left us." Isaac finished their adventure.
Felix was just sitting there, looking puzzled. Sheba, on the other hand, was walking up and down the room.
"But how can he do that if he's not the master of them? Did you see his face? Recognized anything? I mean, was it Alex?"
Mia shook her head. She knew it wasn't Alex for sure.
"Well, who ever it was, we should be grateful to have lived to tell the tale." Ivan said, finishing the conversation. "We should go check on the repairs."
They all left looking for flaws in the buildings. 'Who ever it was, he did save our lives.' Isaac thought, walking to the center of the new Vale in progress.
--One week later--
One week had passed, and no new developments on the monsters, so they all tried to forget the whole situation. Vale was in great progress. The area was now protected by huge castle like walls (just in case someone would attack them. . . again!) and they had started on a fountain. (Decorative use only.)
One day, the adepts were eating. In celebration on the return of Piers.
"Thank you guys. It's good to see you all again."
"Same here, Piers. How was Lemuria?"
"How's King Hydros?"
"How old are you?"
Everyone looked at Sheba.
"What? It doesn't hurt to try." Everyone just shrugged it of. Then, a voice was heard.
"I am sorry, but is this Vale?"
They all looked around, and saw two travelers talking to the mayor. The one talking seemed to be a 20 year old woman. She had long ,blond hair, very blue eyes and she was wearing what seemed to be something just like Mia's clothes, only with much more white.
Her companion looked like he was around 25, and he had short, dark-blond hair. He wore a black trench coat and black boots. He was carrying a huge backpack, which seemed to contain both their stuff and some weapons.
"Yes, this is Vale. Or at least, this used to be Vale. Can I help you?"
"Yes" the girl said. "We are looking for a place to rest. We have traveled long, and we are in need of some rest."
The mayor nodded. "You are welcome to stay, but there is not much we can offer. And certainly not for free. I'm sorry, but as you can see, we need all our money to rebuild."
The man moved forward. "Of course, we wouldn't dream of asking you anything without something in return." He put his hand in his backpack. The one with the weapons in.
The adepts rose as one, but the hand of the boy came out already. With a bag of coins.
"This should cover some expenses." He gave the bag to the mayor.
"Oh, my. 1320 coins!"
The travelers smiled. "You are in trouble, and we are in more need of a bed. Would you be so kind to lend us a place to rest, and a little bit of food?" The girl asked. The mayor just nodded.
He leaded the two travelers to a tent. The adepts turned back to each other.
"Hey, looks like we got new visitors. We haven't had guests since Vale was destroyed." Garret said, who was always anxious to hear what happened outside of town.
Jenna didn't trust them. No traveler pays over a thousand coins just for a place to stay.
"Maybe we should keep an eye on them."
"No, Jenna. I believe you are to paranoid." Mia didn't like it when people were mistrusted for no reason.
"I don't think so. Hey Ivan, Sheba. Can't you guys go and read their minds?"
"Sorry, but that would be morally unacceptable."
"Plus you don't like it when they think 'Hey, what's that midget doing there?'" Sheba said. Jenna and Garret laughed.
"Come on, you guys. Can't you just stop? If you would think bad about every traveler that comes here, you will be very busy in no time." Felix was the voice of reason. "Besides, we were just having a party."
Everyone returned to the feast.
----
The young girl was walking trough New Vale. Or New Future Vale, if you please.
Everywhere around her, voices stopped to talk. She was new, and you didn't see a new face in Vale everyday anymore. And a pretty one to boot. She got glances from all of the boys.
It annoyed her a tad, but she had gotten used to it.
The girl looked in a freshly installed vending window of the baker, and saw the reflection of a blue-haired girl.
"Hey." Mia said.
"Hello." The girl replied.
"My name is Mia. You're one of those two travelers, are you not?"
"Yes. My name is Celestia. Nice to meet you."
"Same here. Mind if I shop with you? Maybe you could tell me what's going on outside of Vale." Mia asked. Living in Vale wasn't bad, but she had no idea what had happened to those towns she had visited.
"Sure." They started to walk. "Well, there is not much going on out there, really. Oh, do you know Kalay? Their leader, Master Hammet made good deals with Xian, and they are building a small arena, based on the one in Tolbi. And Kolima is having a bad wood year. Seems that some holy tree isn't feeling well, but is getting better now. Oh and. . ."
Celestia knew quite a lot. And Mia noticed that she herself knew a lot of it herself. Not the new events, but she knew Hammet and Tret.
When they were near a weapon shop-tent, Celestia quickly approached it. She started to observe the swords and staffs.
"Hmm, good quality. But not quite. . ."
Mia also looked at the weapons. "Are you shopping for a new staff?"
"No, I am looking for a sword. A gift."
"Oh, for your friend?"
"Yes. Celcior is quite gifted with a sword or any other weapons. Lacking in subtlety, though." She giggled. "Not that he's dumb, Mia girl, but he doesn't got our girls subtlety ."
Mia smiled. She knew others that were quite similarly.
"So, how is it with you and him. Or can't I ask?" Mia asked.
"If you're asking what I think you are, than you'll just have to find out yourself. I'm not going to tell you that."
"Personal, hey? Then I think I know the answer. Sorry to have asked." Mia added. She didn't wanted to upset her.
Celestia just smiled. They continued their shopping stroll. When they had visited each shop, Celestia stopped at the center of the camp.
"Say, Mia. What is happening this evening? It seems like there is a lot of fire wood here."
"Oh, I forgot. Tonight the elders will continue telling story's. The great Legends. You should come. And Celcior too."
"We will. Well, gotta go. I'll see you later." With that, She left.
Mia stood there, for a while, and then she walked to her own tent. It was dinner time.
----
It was starting to get dark. The fire was lit, and all of the people were gathering around the campfire. Isaac and Mia were waiting for the two new guests.
"Sorry we're late." A red Celestia said. She had run from the outlines of camp. "I needed to convince Celcior here."
"Excuse me, but most legends are just so predictable. Bad guy takes over land, terror in country, good guy rises, beats bad guy and gets the girl."
Isaac looked up, annoyed. "Well, not our legends. Our 'good guys' get as much loses, maybe even more then the 'bad guys' if you put it like that. In fact, we are not even sure what to think of the whole thing."
"Then why tell them?" Celcior asked. Isaac messed it up, completely.
"Just listen." Right then, the elders rose, and everyone went quit.
"Tonight, we have guests from far away. I hope, that they have these legends we are about to unveil there too. If not, I bid them to listen, for this tales contain much hidden wisdom and advice.
Now, we shall tell more of them, those evil magicians. We hope they do not return, those evil Shadow Adepts."
The elder began to tell tales of the Destroyers, and some incredible battles with the Healers. He continued to tell how good they where, and how evil he others.
"The light that shines in the harts of the Healers, should also exist in us. Their goodness and kindness is what has helped mankind for so long. But it wouldn't happened if it was up to the Destroyers.
Those vile creatures. They should never have existed in this world. If they where to be killed one by one, would mankind cry? Nay, I say. Those monsters were nothing but the reincarnation of evil. No good lied in a single hart. Not one of them would ever help mankind. For that is how they are. Luckily, the Healers were able to correct much of their flaws."
Mia listened to the tale. It interested her, and she was about to ask Celcior if it was as dull as the other legends, when she noticed that he got up, and left the others quickly.
Celestia rose too, with a worried look on her face. Mia decided not to follow him.
"What's wrong?" She asked Celestia.
"It doesn't matter. Just leave him for now." She still looked sad.
The story ended, and everyone went to their respective tents. Little did they knew, their rest was soon to be shattered.
***
I should leave you with a cliff hanger, it seems to be popular. But I'm a good guy. I'll try to continue. ***
It was still early in the morning. About 3 o'clock, when suddenly. . .
"Alarm, Alarm. Monster attacks."
Everyone woke up. Isaac, Felix and Ivan immediately took their weapons and their clothes.
Garret slowly woke up, and was still yawning when he tried to get in his armor.
"Garret, hurry." Ivan yelled at him. "And you're wearing you trousers backwards." He hurried himself to the walls of Vale.
"Report?" He asked the guard. Everyone gathered around them.
"Just look for yourself." The guard pointed to the other side of the wall. They went up, and saw something that took their breath away. Thousands and thousands of monsters.
In front of the gates, three creatures were waiting, leaded by a man.
"Hello, up there."
"What do you want?" The guards demanded to know.
"Simple. I want you to surrender Vale, give me your valuables and some sacrifices for my monsters. Oh, and within the next 3 hours, if possible."
This guy was of his rocker.
"Are you insane?" Isaac yelled.
"Yes. Why do you wanna know?"
Yup, completely insane.
"Look, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Now, I'm sure you have some great warriors up there, but as you can see I have my soldiers as well." He pointed to all the monsters. As if the Valeans hadn't seen them before.
The man retreated himself, followed loyally by his three dragon-like creatures.
"Okay, listen everyone. Big alert." Isaac yelled out. "We need a meeting with all the villagers. They need to be aware of the present situation. And it doesn't look good."
Ivan followed his friend. "Isaac is right. We have Mount Aleph in our back, and probably 5000 enemy monsters, led by a mad lunatic. We need to gather our warriors and healers. We need to train everyone we can to fight, and we need to do it in about 3 hours."
Isaac was right: this didn't look good for Vale.

Okay, long chapter, no? Next chapter is where the excitement begins. Be ready for it. R&R, please. I never say no to a review. And if you like my story, it would persuade me to update sooner. (really, it would.)
