I don't own Golden Sun!
Chapter Seventeen
It was too late. She had waited to long. Their leader was still alive. Not only that, but she was beginning to like the new group better. These friends were nice, unlike the others. They actually cared about other people besides for themselves. They didn't want nothing but power... wealth... they wanted to help others.
~^~*~^~ ~Flashback~
"I want you to kill their leader, Isaac. He was pointy blonde hair, and is an Earth adept. In order to kill him, you must enter Collosso, and purposefully lose to one of them. You will then offer to join them, after having read their minds to find out all about them. You will journey with them for a while, and then kill Isaac," said Felix. Sheba nodded, and a wicked grin appeared on her face. "Where's the money?" she asked. Felix pulled a bag of coins off of his belt, and said, "Five hundred coins even." Sheba smiled, and said, "I'll do it."
~End of flashback~ ~^~*~^~
Ivan found Sheba sitting at the entrance of the town crying. "It's not fair, not fair," she was saying. Ivan asked, "What's not fair?" Sheba didn't know Ivan was there, and turned around immediately. "I was supposed to assassinate Isaac. Now that I know him better, I don't want to. I was to be payed five hundred coins." Ivan gasped. "Five hundred coins? Who has five hundred coins to pay you?" Sheba sighed. "Felix," she said. Ivan laughed, and replied, "Felix had to hire an assassin to kill us? What, he's not strong enough?" Sheba shook her head. "Felix is beginning to worry about you becoming a threat. He knows that Isaac can revive you every time he kills you, so he wants Isaac dead. If he can kill Isaac, the rest of you will be no problem," she said. At this moment, Garet rushed up and said, "What's wrong, Sheba?" Sheba looked up, ashamed, and said, "I was hired to kill Isaac, but now I don't want to." Garet glared at her, and drew his sword. Sheba closed her eyes, and said, "Kill me quickly, please." As Garet brought his sword down, Ivan thrust his staff underneath it. Garet was much stronger than Ivan, making it extremely hard for him to block the blow, but he did it. Garet glared at Ivan, and asked, "What are you doing? Didn't you hear what she said? She was trying to kill Isaac!" The younger boy snarled at his friend, and said, "She said she doesn't want to kill him now!" Garet yelled, "That's what she said, but do you believe her? I don't. She wants us to take our attention away from the matter by telling us her plan, so it will be easier for her to kill Isaac." By this time, a large group of people had gathered around to see what was going on. Isaac, Alex, and Picard had heard the shouting outside and joined the crowd of people watching. Isaac saw Ivan holding his staff, and Garet holding his sword, and yelled, "What's going on here?" Garet turned around and said, "Sheba wants to kill you!" At this, Sheba, who had been sitting on the ground, looked up and said, "I don't want to kill you!" Garet growled and stabbed his sword into Sheba's heart. She immediately slumped to the ground, dead. Isaac rushed over and poured his psynergy into her. She began breathing within a few moments and looked up at the crowd of people around her. Everyone gasped at Isaac, and rushed over to him to ask him how he had done it. Meanwhile, Ivan was glaring at Garet, who was threatening to kill him too.
After Ivan had told Isaac, Alex, and Picard exactly what Sheba had told him, they went to the inn to buy some food. The innkeeper, who had been among the crowd of people watching, gave them food for free when he realized that Isaac was with them. The friends ate the food and then went to bed.
The next morning, Garet told Ivan that he wanted to look around the city, and asked him if he would like to go with him. He said that he had been to the weapon store, and that they had had some nice weapons. They decided to go to the tailor's shop, and when they arrived, Garet chose some leaf-green clothes, and a leather belt with a bag on it in which to store small items. Ivan chose a purple outfit, with a similar belt. After having bought the clothes, they returned to the inn to change into them. Next, they went to the marketplace, to buy food for a large meal. After having returned the food to the inn, Ivan showed Garet a mysterious buildings which was surrounded by strong guards, who clearly didn't want anyone to pass. When Ivan asked what was in the building, one of the guards replied that nobody knew, but that had been ordered not to let anyone in, or to enter themselves, by Babi, the ruler of Tolbi. Garet shrugged, and they wandered off somewhere else.
When they were wandering through an empty alley, Garet suddenly pulled a dagger out of it's sheath by his side, and stuck it into Ivan. He let out a short cry and fell to the ground. Garet smiled at him, and said, "Take that, moron," before walking off to find the others.
That night, while Isaac, Garet, Alex, Picard, and Sheba were eating their dinner, Isaac asked, "Where's Ivan? I haven't seen him all day." Garet shrugged, and said that he hadn't seen him since they had explored the city earlier. Alex asked, "Do you think we should look for him?" Isaac shook his head, "No, Ivan can fight well, and besides he sometimes wanders off without really thinking about what he's doing." Alex shrugged. "Well, ok, but somehow I think he's in trouble," he said, before returning to his meal.
The next morning, Isaac looked in Ivan's room to see if he was there. He wasn't. Isaac paniced, but then figured that he must have just left early that morning. He left the inn and went to look for him. After about half an hour, he walked down the same alley in which Garet had killed Ivan, and saw the body of Ivan laying in a pile of blood. He gasped, and tried to revive him, but couldn't. He dragged Ivan to Alex and Picard, and asked if they could help him. They looked down at him in amazement, and Isaac said that he thought he must have been dead since atleast early the previous day. The two brothers tried, but couldn't help him. Picard suggested that Isaac take him to the great healer, a man who did nothing but healing people. Isaac took him to the healer, who was barely able to revive the young boy. "Looks like he was killed on purpose," said the healer, "by a dagger, in fact." Isaac gasped. "A dagger?" he asked. The healer nodded.
