Hi-ho!
Just a little story dedicated to my confusion over things Golden Sun related.
Thanks for reading!
Felix glared angrily at the altar at the peak of Gaia Rock, or Mt. Mikage as the people of Izumo called it. He could sense something there, he knew full well it was there, and that whatever it was he would no doubt need to solve whatever puzzles waited for him inside the Elemental Rock. That was how these things always worked. He'd had to deal with it along with Alex as they solved puzzles that completely stumped Saturos and Menardi, puzzles that inexplicably un-solved themselves when they left the room.
He knew full well, that whatever was there, be it invisible or dwelling halfway into some other dimension, he would need, and that he would no doubt need some form of Psynergy to get it. Clarity struck suddenly him suddenly and he spun around.
"Sheba?" He asked, addressing the small blonde girl he had helped kidnap so many months ago, "Do you remember when we were beneath Babi Lighthouse, at the doors to Venus?"
Sheba nodded uncertainly, "Yeah… what about it?"
"Use that Psynergy you used there." Felix ordered, pointing at the altar, "Remember, the one that revealed that button underneath the sign?"
Uncertainty and confusion crossed the young girl's face, "Uhh… Felix? I never cast any Psynergy like that…"
Felix's brow furrowed incredulously, "Yes, you did! That was the entire reason we kidnapped you in the first place!"
Sheba raised her hands, looking for Jenna or Kraden to support her, "No, I didn't. And I thought I was kidnapped to get into Jupiter."
"Ha-ah-ah-ha… no, you… you did something that let us in. You used a Psynergy of some form, don't lie to me." He said, slowly advancing as he wagged a finger back and forth, "I know what I saw. And! And… We only realised that after I was needed to open Venus."
Sheba swallowed as she backed away, "So you admit you're the one who got us into Venus Lighthouse?"
"No!" Felix shouted, his hands flailing upward in frustration, tired of the constant denial of what he knew to be true, "I got us in the front door, yeah, but we needed you to get into the true entrance! Jenna, Kraden, you were there, back me up here!"
The Mars Adept and the scholar exchanged worrying glances to each other and Sheba, while Piers just waved around the altar in an attempt to find what was there. Jenna stepped forward, shaking her head, "Felix, we don't know what you are talking about here. Sheba didn't cast any Psynergy below Babi Lighthouse, we got there, pushed a button, and went in. Simple as that."
"No-no-no!" Felix argued, taking a step forward, a step that just plain scared the three he was addressing, "The button was hidden behind a sign that said we needed a special Psynergy. Psynergy that Sheba had. I'm just asking her to use it now, so we can go."
"Felix, I don't have any Psynergy like that!" Sheba protested, "I can make wind, I can create thunder and lightning, and I can read your mind. I know you think this happened, but it didn't. I can't just make stuff appear or become visible or whatever it is you thought I did, okay?"
Felix stepped back, scratching his head. He was sure Sheba had used Psynergy to get them into Venus Lighthouse proper. That was why she was taken. Then again… ever since then, she had never displayed any kind of power like that, nor the knowledge of it. Maybe the fall from Venus after its ignition wiped it from her abilities? As ridiculous as that sounded it was the only logical explanation… but then she would still remember doing it, right?
Felix just nodded slightly, "Okay… we… we'll come back when we've found a way to get whatever's here…"
The three of them smiled, and Piers returned to the group having missed all the drama, looking rather confused. Felix gave the order and soon they had climbed back down the mountain and set sail again, but Felix was still sure something wasn't right.
Several weeks later, in the deepest chamber of Air's Rock, Sheba was gifted with the new power of Reveal. When she displayed this new ability to the group, Felix once more started the argument about her Psynergy and Venus Lighthouse.
All the while, Kraden remained silent, praying that Felix would stop pointing out tiny inconsistencies that were required for plotline.
There we are.
Had anyone else realised this?
Feel free to leave comments on any other moments, be they flaws or just general moments that make you go "Huh?" and I'll add a drabble onto this one.
Thanks for reading, and hopefully reviewing,
Your Pal,
