I didn't invent Golden Sun.
Chapter Nine
After several days of rest, the three adepts left Vault and headed north. Ivan, as usuall, was way ahead of Isaac and Garet. Isaac had told Ivan to stay with them before they had left, but he had either forgotten or didn't care. Suddenly, standing before Ivan on the road was Alex. Ivan, who was running so fast, couldn't stop and ran right into Alex. Ivan started to fall backwards but stopped himself and did a backflip, landing on his feet. Ivan grinned up at the older boy. Alex laughed and said, "Nice trick." Ivan just kept grinning. Suddenly, Alex's smile left his face and he frowned slowly. "Actually, I've been looking for you and your friends." he said, "I have a problem. My hometown, Bilibin, is being destroyed by two children, a little bit older than you and your friends. I know it may sound stupid, that a little boy and girl are stronger than me, and even able to destroy a town, but they are also adepts." Ivan nodded, and then replied, "So, you want us to go and help you fight them?" Alex nodded, and continued, "The boy has dark brown hair about the length of mine, and the girl has longer hair, which is reddish-brown." Ivan thought that this may be Felix, but to get a better picture, he read Alex's mind. As he expected, the boy Alex described was indeed Felix. Ivan nodded. "Felix," he said. Alex answered, "You know him?" Ivan nodded, and after a moment of silence, he added, "He killed my parents." Ivan started to breathe hard and glare at the thought of his parents. Ivan nodded, and said, "I'll help you fight them, alright. I'm sure Isaac will help as well. Garet is our friend, and he will probably follow our lead." Alex nodded. Ivan continued, "Let's wait here for them to catch up." Again, Alex nodded, and replied, "I was wondering where they were."
Not more than fifteen minutes later, Isaac and Garet caught sight of Ivan and Alex sitting on the road up ahead, talking. "Yes, Isaac is my brother," Isaac heard Ivan telling Alex, "And Garet is our friend from Kalay. We met him at Collosso last year, and we've been friends ever since." Garet and Isaac slowly walked towards them, and sat down. Ivan smiled over to them and said, "Felix is attacking Alex's city! We need to go help!" Garet stompted his foot and yelled angrily, "Why do we have to spend our valuable time helping some other person defend some stupid city?" Ivan frowned and looked back to Alex. "I'm sorry, he can be quite rude sometimes!" Ivan said. Isaac laughed. "Well, Garet, I don't see why we shouldn't try to help someone else." he said. Garet replied, "But, but..." and then stopped trying. Alex stood up and said, "Well, I suppose we'd better be going?" The others stood, and Isaac and Garet waited for Alex to start leading them, but he didn't. Isaac looked at Alex, who had his eyes closed, and was glowing. "What's he doing?" asked Isaac. Ivan replied, "He's teleporting us. His city is quite a ways off, so it may take some time." Isaac nodded in understandment.
A couple seconds later, the four adepts stood facing a burning city. Isaac sighed. "It appears to be too late," he said. Ivan nodded, sadly. Alex again started glowing and a sheet of water fell on the city, putting the fires out. Alex entered the city cautiously, sword drawn, and the others followed his lead. Dead, burnt bodies littered the streets, but Felix and the girl seemed to have left. Suddenly, Gust appeared, flying in front of Ivan's face. He flew over to his ear and whispered something. Ivan nodded and Gust disappeared. Ivan closed his eyes and he began to glow. In his mind, Ivan was amazed at what he saw. He saw what was really around him, but in a different way. He could see through buildings, barrels, and all sorts of things. Opening his eyes, Ivan looked around and saw everything he had just seen, but in a more normal way. Ivan fell to the ground, exhausted. Isaac looked down at his brother in astonishment. "What happened?" he asked. Ivan gasped for breath and began to wheeze. Finally he managed to say, "Gust... taught me to... to... see in a... different... way..." Gust appeared next to Ivan and said, "I taught him to use a very special psynergy. It is called reveal. With reveal, Ivan will be able to see through just about anything." Alex looked down at Ivan and frowned. "Let me handle this," he said. Leaning over next to Ivan, Alex extended his hand towards Ivan, and within a few seconds, Ivan was back breathing normally, and he stood up. Excitedly, Ivan pointed to an old, decayed barrel and said, "Over there!" Rushing ahead of everyone else, Ivan ripped the rotten wood of the top of the barrel and looked inside. At the bottom of the barrel was a helmet, which Ivan pulled out. Placing the helmet on top of his head, he returned to his friends. Garet, who had not thouroughly understood anything that had just happened, looked at Ivan in a confused sort of way, and asked, "How did you know that helmet was going to be in there?" Ivan laughed. Isaac yelled at Garet, "Haven't you been paying any attention at all? Ivan just learned to see through things! Do you realize how helpful that may become?" Garet shook his head.
"Perhaps we could go to Vale," said Alex. Garet asked, "Where?" Alex replied, "Vale, it's a city at the end of the path which you were on earlier. You'll find many adepts there, although few of them ever leave the city. Not many people know of Vale, because not many map-makers know of it, and therefore don't put it on their maps, meaning other people can't learn about it unless they are told by someone who does know about it, or if they go there themselves." Garet nodded. "Oh." Alex closed his eyes and soon they were all standing outside a very large city. Alex smiled and entered the city. The younger adepts followed Alex into the city, and after walking a few seconds, they were amazed at what they saw. Before them was a large pond, with an island in the center, nearly covered with a huge blue rock. Alex walked over next to the rock. With a large leep, Alex landed on the island next to the rock. As he touched the rock, blue rings surrounded Alex, and he looked less tired. Alex jumped back over the water and returned to his friends. Garet ran over towards the island and made the biggest jump he could, which barely landed him on the other side of the island. Garet touched the rock and red rings surrounded him. Garet jumped as he felt all his strength return and easily made it back to the other side of the rock.
After everyone had touched the rock, they headed farther into the city. Garet was very energetic now. When the adepts walked past a house, Garet suddenly leapt, grabbed the roof of the building, and hauled himself up on top of if. He yelled down that he had seen something, and that he wanted to see what it was. Isaac laughed and sat down to watch Garet jump from housetop to housetop with a little red blur up ahead of him. Ivan went to buy something to eat, and Alex got rooms at the inn. Suddenly, the little red blur in front of Garet turned around and flew into his stomach. Luckily, Garet wasn't by the side of the roof, or he would have fallen off. As it was, he only fell down into a sitting postion. Isaac rushed over and began climbing onto the roof. Garet drew his sword and slashed at the little creature, who just hopped to the side and rammed into Garet's stomach again. Garet, who had just stood up, promptly fell back down again. By this time, Isaac had climbed onto the roof and drawn his sword. He slashed at the creature, who hopped aside again and Garet snatched him up. Holding the creature tight around his waist, Garet jumped off the side of the roof and looked at him. He sqeaked, "Don't hurt me! I'm called a djinn. I could tell that you were an adept, but I wanted to test your strength before I joined you. My name is Phobos and I'm a Mars djinn." Garet loosened his grip slightly and asked, "How do I know I can trust you to not kill me?" Phobos thought for a second and said, "You'll just have to trust me." Garet nodded, and let the djinn go, who immediately disappeared. Garet looked around and asked, "Wha-? Where'd he go?" Phobos appeared on Garet's head and said, "Up here!" When Garet reached up to grab the djinn he disappeared again and appeared on the ground next to Garet. Isaac snickered and left Garet to play with his new djinn.
