Discliamer: Oh if only I owned Golden Sun! I'd make sure that Felix talked more, and I'd capture Piers for myself, but I don't own it, so I can't do anything but write my dreams on paper(so to speak). : ) The only things I own are Selena, Merculean Ore, and Marean Metal.

Chapter 2

Selena's POV

As we walked into Vault, I could see that it was much bigger and more lively than what they had shown in the game. I would estimate that were about 3 people to every 1 person living in Vault in the game.

I pointed out where the Armor, Weapons, and Herb shops were, and Menardi took Jenna and I to the Armor shop first. When I walked in my eyes immediatly fell on a Meculean blue and Mithyl silver armor set. I felt like I was drawn to it, like it was made for me, and I could tell that it was made for a woman. I pointed it out to Menardi and asked if that would do. "You might want to go ask the Shopkeeper how much it is." She said thoughtfuly. So I walked up to the Shopkeeper and asked him. "Young Lady I don't think you'd want that set unless you're willing to put up with the Prophesy that goes with it." "What Prophesy?" I asked.

"The Prohpesy tells of a famous blacksmith who made this, as it was this blacksmith was a friend of a great wise man. This wise man had the power to tell the future, he told the blacksmith to make the greatest set of armor made for a woman possible. For the Wise Man saw that one day a young girl would have need of it. The blacksmith did as he was asked, and the result was this armor that you see here. But he realized something it was missing the protection spells. So he took it to a jupiter adapt to place the protection spells on the armor. Afterwards he took it to the Wise Man and the wise man put a spell over it, one that would make the girl who wore it lose her family so that there would no ties to the other world in which she had lived before she came."

I stood shocked. 'so the Armor was made for me, but if I wear it I will lose My family, or any chance to get home again. But I should by it just in case, because I've got a feeling that I'll need it on our journey.' "How much is it" I asked. "10,000 coins" replyed the shopkeeper. "Here's the money" said Menardi. Jenna paid for some chain armor and a bronze circlet, and we left for the wepons shop.

The weapons shop was HUGE. There were so many Swords, and Axes, and Staffs, and a few Maces. I looked around for a minutes, and came aross twin swords. Each of them were made of Mithyl with a stip of Merculean Ore in one and Marean Metal in the other. Underneth them was a sign that said:

'Triton's Dagger, and Dragon's Bane: 15,000 coins each'

Triton's Dagger had handle with a mermaid carved from Merculean Ore, with golden waves off to each side. The mermaids tail was shaped to fit a persons left hand. Dragon's Bane however had handle with a dragon carved from Silver, with flames made from Marean Ore coming off of each side, and out of the dragon's mouth.

'I hope Menardi has enough money.' I walked over to where Menardi was picking out a staff for Jenna. By the look on Jenna's face I think she would have much rather have had a sword, but Menardi woldn't have it, they eventualy picked out an ordinary walking stick. "Menardi I've picked out my weapons." She saw the two swords in my hands and nodded. "These will do nicely, you choose well." She said while admiring the swords. "Thanks." I replyed. We payed for the weapons and went out to find the boys.

Alex POV

As Menardi, the girl, and Felix's sister ran off, Saturos had me go to the Herb shop to get Herbs, Nuts, and Elixers as we were running low on them. I went in the shop bought what we needed and an extra Psyenergy Star for good measure.

I walked back to Saturos and the guys and saw that Menardi had gotten the girls good armor and weapons, well Selena got the good stuff, Jenna just got stuff that would keep her protected and able to get a few hits in. I could see that Jenna was fuming at the attention that Selena was getting, and I couldn't blame her. I wonder what was going through Menardi's mind to let Selena get the good stuff and not get Jenna anything that would actually keep her safe. I figured that it was just that Menardi wanted to get on the good side of Selena, I mean Jenna is lucky that Saturos and Menardi even thought of her at all, for she is just a prisoner, and therefore can be killed and never thought of again, by Saturos's and Menardi's standerds at least. But most likely Menardi didn't want to bring down the wrath of Felix by getting Jenna killed because Jenna wasn't trained, and didn't have sufficiant armor.

As we walked out of Vault we headed toward Biblin Cave. Suprisingly we came up against no monsters on the way, which usually signals that a battle was soon going to come our way, so I was on my toes ready for it. But as I said before it didn't come.

Right before we got to Biblin Cave, Selena insisted that we pick a camping spot and rest for the night. We complyed and Jenna found a nice meadow with no rocks on the ground for the most comfortable sleep possible without a bed. For once I'm glad that we have Jenna with us because we wouldn't have found the spot without her, for it was behind a grove of trees, right by a river, and since most of us are either idiots, or are to damn old to care about rocks(excluding Selena, Jenna, Felix, and I) we wouldn't have found it. There were some wild carrots and stawberrys where the spot was so we didn't have to hunt this night. Which is good because I was getting quite tired of meat day in and day out.

Turns out that I was right about Menardi because during the night she and Saturos were talking about it, and Menardi admited that to get on Selina's good side she had bought what Selena wanted. Saturos also commented that it was a good thing that they thought of Jenna too, because if they hadn't Felix would of been quite mad at them. Which had you'd known that the calm, collected eightteen year old boy had such a temper on him as to scare the flame out of a dragon, you would know to never make Felix angry.

As I turned over in my sleeping bag my last thought before sleep over took me was: 'What else will Selena do?'

A/N Next time Biblin!
