I don't own Golden Sun!
Chapter Sixteen
Early the next morning the adepts continued southward from Suhulla, until they made it to a desert. After walking a while in the desert, a tornado blocked their path. "Great, now we can't get past!" said the ever- complaining Garet. Isaac groaned. "Garet, shut up," he said. Picard suggested that they attempt to fight their way through. Garet cast heat wave, which hardly seemed to faze it. Isaac cast ragnarok, but it did about the same as the heat wave. Ivan waved his staff at it, and water shot out, which caused the tornado to disappear and a huge lizard to take it's place. Ivan smiled at Garet, who muttered something to himself. The smile was wiped off of his face as bolts of electricity slammed into him and he flew backwards. Alex rushed over to his help, while the other four blasted the lizard. Finally, Picard summoned Neptune, which sliced a whole directly through the lizard's stomach. Europa and two other water djinni appeared on Picard's shoulders and head. Picard grinned and said, "These are my djinni, Fizz and Hail. I've had them for quite some time, Alex, but never told you about them." Alex smiled, and having healed up Ivan by this time, they headed on. Soon, they ran into another tornado, and killed it in much the same way. They pressed on in this manner, until Ivan let out a shriek, and when Isaac looked over to him, their was a hole through his leg. The wound was bleeding nastily, and within a couple of seconds, Ivan lay slumped on the ground. Isaac screamed, "Ivan!" and tried to heal him. His attempts were worthless, and he was soon exhausted. Alex and Picard tried their hardest to revive him, but by the time they finally suceeded, they were both nearly worn out too. Isaac looked around for what could have done this, but couldn't find anything, until Sheba let out a scream, and fell to the ground too. Her arm was bleeding. Isaac, Alex, and Picard had barely enough strength left to heal her, but they were able. Again, Isaac searched for who had done this, and finally caught sight of a small purple blur dancing around. He sent a ragnarok at it, but it quickly dodged. Garet threw fireballs all around, until finally the purple blur stopped moving to reveal a wind djinn. "Adepts... pathetic... why me?" the djinn asked in a hurt tone. Ivan asked, "What?" The wind djinn cried, and said, "Adepts calls me pathetic... WHY ME?" screaming the last two words. This time, Garet asked, "What?" The djinn looked extremely upset, and tears rolled down his cheeks, and he said, "Two adepts says I is pathetic, and scratches me up! Why me, ME NOT PATHETIC! I hate them, they mean, some day I KILL THEM!" Ivan said, "I'm sorry that they weren't nice to you, but who were they? What did they look like?" The little djinn started crying again and wouldn't answer for a while, until he finally said, "Blue and red." Ivan turned back to the others and said, "Doesn't sound like Jenna and Felix." and then turning back to the djinn he asked, "Would you like to come with us?" The djinn looked up in surprise and shouted, "Really? Breeze like that!" Ivan replied, "Breeze? Is that your name? Hello, Breeze." The djinn giggled and said, "I breeze! Now which one of you do I go with?" Breeze looked around and finally said, "She!" pointing to Sheba. He flew over to her and hopped up and down on her head, and then said, "Good, good!" Ivan smiled to himself and they continued.
After a few minutes more of no fights, a huge tornado charged towards the group, and caught them up one by one. Ivan waved his staff and water rained down on it. The tornado gradually disappeared and a humongous green lizard took it's place. Ivan, who had been in the center of the tornado, fell down directly onto it's back, and grabbed hold. He slowly climbed up and got his staff around its neck and held on. The lizard was ignoring the others who were slamming attacks against it with all of their might. He wanted Ivan off, and he wasn't going to bother with the others until he had him off. The lizard ran around in circles, clawing at his back, occasionally scratching him lightly. Finally, he slammed himself into the wall, and Ivan dropped to the ground. Isaac rushed over, but it was too late. Ivan was dead, crushed against the wall. Isaac was currently too worn out to revive him, so he created a barrier around himself and Ivan. Meanwhile, the other four were still fighting the lizard. After several hours, Isaac was able to revive Ivan, and then he removed the barrier, to witness the final blow to the lizard by Alex's sword. He and Ivan walked back over to the others, and all six of them just stood there, gasping for breath.
After the encounter with the lizard and the djinn, the adepts had no problem reaching the other side of the desert. After exiting, they looked around for a city, but saw none. After walking for several hours, they found a lighthouse. Many people were standing around, doing nothing. Isaac approached one of them and asked what the lighthouse was. The man replied, "It's Venus lighthouse, kid, don't you know anything? Get lost!" Isaac thanked the man but glared too. The six adepts entered the lighthouse, but after wandering around for a while, could find no way of getting through, so they decided to spend the night there.
The next morning, the friends got up and left the lighthouse. They walked north for a while, until they encountered a group of birds flying in from above and biting them. Before they were able to hit them with their weapons, they would fly back up into the sky. Garet sent fire psynergy at them, but was unable to reach them. After a while, Ivan, Sheba, and Garet, sending their attacks into the air, were able to get them. They continued onwards, nobody saying anything, but all of them secretly hoping not to run into any more of them. Around noon, a city was barely visible in the distance. Within the next half-hour, they made it to the city. It was a fairly big city, with many citizens, but like Suhulla, most of them said nothing. Isaac was exhausted from the trip there from Venus lighthouse, and he rushed straight to the inn to get rooms. Ivan ran to the weapons and armor shop, and purchased a matching pure white helmet and armor. The man said he didn't know where they had come from, they had once appeared in his shop so he had taken them. They fit Ivan perfectly, almost as though they had been made for him. They weighed practically nothing, just like his staff. Ivan wondered if they were made of the same metal.
Garet bought a lot of food, and then sat down to eat it.
Picard and Alex slowly wandered around the town talking to people, and finally went to the inn to join Isaac.
