ABD: Hello!
ABD: Thanks to anyone and everyone that reviewed! I appreciate it!
El Wise Uno: And he...WHY THE HECK IS MY NAME IN SPANISH?
ABD: Never mind. Just do the disclaimer.
The Wise One: Not until my name...ok. ABD (Albino Black Dove) does not own Golden Sun. Or me. If he did, I probably wouldn't be a giant, granite floating eyeball the obliterates Alex.
Alex: And if you ever do get GS, can you not make him HURT so much? And if you don't teach him Millenium Liquifier, I'd be a very happy Mercury Adept.
ABD: I'll think about it.
Lord Catastrophe: (booming voice) Albino Black Dove likely will net publish for a while for three reasons: few reviews, a computer virus, and Writer's Block.
"Isaac!" Jenna shook him, trying to wake him up.
"Let me sleep, Gods…" He mumbled.
"If we had time for that, would I be trying to wake you up?"
"Yes," came the mumbled reply.
She looked at the sky, hiding her smile. Forgetting that they were in a tent, thus no sky, she hit her nose on a piece of tent sticking out.
She swore, and then kicked the prone Isaac until he rolled out of his bedroll, groaning.
He shooed her out of the tent and changed. Then, he got out and soaked up his last look of Vale for a long time.
Kraden had gotten them horses, and they bade each other farewell.
Before they went, Sheba gathered up Jenna and Mia.
In a whispered conversation, Sheba expressed uncanny knowledge in the two's likes among men. Indeed, Jenna wanted to slap her, she was so smug.
Of course, she could always mention Felix and consort in the same sentence to her…
Sheba talked for while, but Jenna was too busy thinking about Isaac to worry much about anything. She only heard "mind read stones" and "breaks easily."
She smiled. Sheba was giving them the ability to mind read their loves.
"What do you mean, we have to sit in Madra and do nothing?" Isaac half-yelled at Kraden disbelievingly.
Kraden winced. "You need to be in Madra while Alex and Mia illuminate the Tundra Temple."
"Tell me again-why?"
Kraden sighed. "You are holding the comets. You need to be close to a medical facility, a.k.a. sanctum when they start blasting and burning you. Cure and Aura can only do so much, you know."
Isaac sighed in resignation. "And you picked Madra, not Lalivero?"
Kraden looked taken aback. "Would you rather be in Lalivero? I sent Sheba to…"
Isaac grimaced. "You would forget, Kraden, that Felix is a wanted man, and Sheba would not be able to leave. Jenna and I might be more…welcomed."
Kraden saw reason in this, and consented.
With horses, the journey to Lalivero was faster and easier. Monster attacks were not different, but fighting became easier as Isaac got used to his horse. Still, he missed the comfort of having both feet planted on solid ground.
When they finally reached Lalivero, They explained to Faran that Sheba couldn't come, then presently rented a month-long stay at the inn.
In two days, Isaac was bored out of his mind.
He kept up his training in the fields outside of the town, but mostly he sat atop a tree and stared off into the distance, apparently thinking, and sometimes reading.
Jenna had absolutely no clue what he had to think about, but she was determined to find out.
The net time, Isaac climbed a tree, she sat in the shade of another tree and pretended to read. Then, she attempted to mind-read him, successfully.
This is what she heard:
Gods, Isaac, you lovesick idiot. How can you fall in love with her, of all people. Gods, you make me so sick I want to kill you. You can't go around ruining people's lives just because of some childish passion. She has her own life to follow, Garet being a large part of it. Forget it.
Goodness knows why Kraden paired me with her. What were the chances of THAT? This is getting out of hand.
Jenna stifled a triumphant giggle. Isaac liked her.
And he thought she liked Garet.
Oho, was she ever going to have fun.
"Felix?"
"Yes, Sheba?"
"Are you bored?"
"Yes."
Sheba paced the room aimlessly, attempting to do several things but then giving up.
She sighed, and jogged outside to annoy djinn.
I hate the cold. Mia thought as she and Alex attempted to cross the mountains. Imil was never this cold!
"Actually, it was," Alex said, reading her mind.
She thought several nasty thoughts, which he apparently picked up.
He winced. "You swear very…extraordinarily."
Which only prompted more curses.
This day was not going well.
Night. Lalivero. And an exceeding amount of thinking was going on in Jenna's mind.
Unbeknownst to her, the same thoughts, revised carefully by a Venus Djinni called Flint were circled through Isaac's head.
Jenna's Djinni were frolicking around the fire downstairs, and holding "fire-sitting" contests to see which on could keep a fire burning around it for the longest time. From the sounds downstairs, it seemed like everyone was having a good time.
Sounds better than sitting here rotting, Isaac thought as he jumped down the stair to join them.
When Isaac came downstairs, he discovered the djinni in a wresting tournament Money was being exchanged, bet, and wagered while the djinni got their daily exercise.
Currently up was Bane against Corona, and Bane appeared to be in the lead. On the sidelines warming up was Quartz and Char, who seemed to be next. Eliminated, but still having fun in an impromptu second tournament were Vine, Spark, Sap, and Forge.
Jenna was having fun and laughing along with everyone else in the party, and Isaac, having nothing better to do, joined them. The spur-of-the-moment referee, the innkeeper, declared Bane the winner, and the two djinni frolicked around the ring for a while and then was replaced by the next pair
Fury was laying the fireplace, resting as the last champion. She cheered and hollered as she waited for her opponent.
This continued throughout the night, as the dwellers of Lalivero and travelers who stayed at the inn partied from 4 PM until almost 11.
When the brawl was finally over, Flint emerged from the fray undecided, unprotected, and unanimous champion. When the innkeeper gave him a bowl of food as the prize, he decided to share it with all the djinni, causing another mini-brawl and giving the guests something else to cheer about. When everyone finally retired, it was almost 11:30.
NOTE: I was reeeeeeeally bored here.
Isaac walked to his room and discovered that it had been blown to pieces. The only wall had been graffitied, and it said:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUT IT'S NOT YOUR BIRTHDAY
: P
THE DJINNI CREW
He walked to Jenna's room in search of the djinni. When he entered, he found them all, Jenna included, rolling on the floor, uproariously laughing. When they saw him, however, they all sobered, instantly.
"You know, you have to teach me that trick someday." He said, trying to keep a grin off his face.
They all waited for the moment when he would not be able to contain himself and burst out laughing.
It didn't take long. Within a few minutes, he was on the floor, laughing along with everyone else.
END OF I AM BORED SECTION
At 20 to midnight, he was lying in Jenna's room's couch, sleeping. His Venus djinni were resting along with the Mars djinni around the room.
Ground raised his head. He sniffed his air, and stood up.
Tinder noticed. "You smell something?"
Ground shrugged. "I dunno. Some feeling, I guess. You can go back to sleep if you want."
Tinder stood up. "Right. After to took the trouble to wake me up." She sniffed. "You know, I do smell something."
Granite, hiding in a crevice, cursed his bad luck. There goes that trick, the thought.
Ground sniffed again. "What do you smell?"
Tinder grinned wickedly. "I smell a Venus djinni asking for trouble."
They headed toward the crevice as Granite gulped.
The next morning, Mia got up and looked at the peak. So close now, she thought. Just get across that and go down. So close.
Alex stood up, yawned, and started packing. She joined him.
It was almost done.
Whatddya think? Like it?
