I don't own Golden Sun.
Chapter Twenty
Garet entered his room and fell down on his bed. He was exhausted. The three hour trip had taken over four hours from all of the fights. He thought about how Justin must feel. They had even fought a two headed dog, which Justin said his uncle often hunted. They were called fenrirs, and put up a big fight. However, they had a very strong taste, and were worth a lot of money if you could sell them. Garet and Justin had been too far away from either of the two cities to drag it, so they decided to just leave it. Garet had decided to eat some of it, and sent a heatwave into it, toasting it extremely quickly. He ate a little bit more than he planned, and had a stomach ache the rest of the trip. However, it was food, and it was good, and it saved him money.
Picard walked out of Lalivero and sighed. He had searched many towns, with no luck at all. Suddenly, he had an idea. "Kolima!" he said aloud. He instantly teleported, and began the work of searching the city.
Isaac listened to Saturos counting. "Seventy eight, seventy nine, eighty, eighty one, eighty two," He pushed and pushed, but he was already worn out, and he knew he couldn't go much farther. He began to slow down. "...eighty eight, eighty nine, ninety, KEEP IT UP!" Isaac pushed himself up one more time and then fell to the ground. "Ninety one," said Saturos, "Not bad, for a beginner." Isaac wiped the sweat off of his face and continued to his next assignment. Saturos gestured to a row of weights on the floor, each of them having numbers written on them. The smallest one said, "10" and the biggest one said, "500" Saturos smiled. "Now, you will lift these weights, and throw them over there," at this Saturos pointed at a big pile of sandbags. "You start with the smallest one, and work your way up." Isaac groaned, and Saturos said, "You know, you're going to be doing this every day for a year." Isaac walked slowly over to the ten pounds weight and lifted it with little effort. He threw it, and struck the center of the bag of sand. Saturos clapped breifly, which cheered on Isaac a little. He stretched his arms for a moment, and then lifted the twenty pound weight. This one was a little harder to throw, but he managed. Isaac continued like this with the thirty five pound weight, the fifty pound weight, and the seventy five pound weight, but when he threw the one hundred pound weight, it didn't quite make it to the sand bags. Saturos grinned. "Seventy five pounds on your first day. Not bad. Felix could only do seventy five also. However, he was a bit younger." At the mention of Felix's name, Isaac groaned. He then continued to his next station. Saturos would summon a ghoul, and Isaac fought it off. He then summoned two ghouls, and so on. Isaac defeated seventeen, but eighteen was too much for him. He fell down exhuasted on the floor. Saturos finished off the remaining two ghouls, and explained that Felix had been able to defeat twenty one on his first day. "Isaac," said Saturos. Isaac turned to him. "Yes?" he asked. Saturos replied, "Are you well known?" Isaac replied, "What do you mean?" The man sighed. "If you entered a city, and people heard soldiers calling you Isaac, would they recognize you?" Isaac shrugged, "Possibly, in Tolbi definitely." Saturos sighed. "I guess we'll have to give you a new name then? How about Robin," he said. Isaac nodded.
Ivan asked, "Alex, have you just been floating around out there all this time?" Alex nodded, and replied, "What, it's only been a couple of days." Ivan gasped. "A couple of days?" he asked, "It's been over two weeks!" Alex shrugged, and said, "How come I'm still alive then?" Sheba said, "Psynergy... After all, you are a Mercury adept." Suddenly, Ivan grew excited. "If Alex is here, we can teleport! We don't need that rotten raft anymore." Alex grinned, and they teleported to Lalivero. Ivan went to his room at the inn, where he had previously stayed. Luckily for him, nobody had used his room since then, and his armor was still there, undisturbed. He picked it up, and went back outside.
Garet walked out of the inn, and to his amazement, saw Picard standing with his back turned to him a ways off. "Picard!" he yelled. Picard turned around and shouted, "Garet! Have you found any of the others? I've looked over most of the continent of Angara and Gondowan, and couldn't find them." Garet shook his head, and said, "I met a Venus adept named Justin. He's pretty powerful, although I think he's even younger than Ivan."
Robin had been training for several days, and could now do ninety four pushups, and was able to hit the sandbags with the one hundred pound weight. Saturos had said that he would probably be done with the training within a year or two. He would then move on to a harder challenge, and eventually become a member of the Venus clan. "Venus clan? What's that?" asked Robin. Saturos explained, "There are four clans. The Mercury clan, Jupiter clan, Venus clan, and Mars clan. You may be able to imagine what they are. An organization of the most powerful adepts of each type, water, wind, earth, and fire. The Venus clan is located in Lalivero, so you will go there when you complete your training." Saturos suddenly caught Robin off guard by summoning three ghouls. One of them flew at him, and hit him, which attracted his attention. He whirled around and cast mother gaia, an ability he didn't know until this time that he had. "Anger," said Saturos, "Is a powerful force. If I get you angry, you will become powerful. If I treat you well, and get you angry, you will be a powerful ally. Perhaps, I will kill your friends after all." Saturos summoned ten fenrirs and Robin killed them with ease. Saturos clapped, and said, "Good! Now let's see if you can kill thirty. If you can't, your friends will die." Again, Saturos summoned the dogs. Again, Robin defeated them easily. Saturos gasped. He gestured to the weights, and said, "Try to lift the three hundred pound weight." Robin lifted the weight, and Saturos said, "Now, throw it at the sandbags. Again, if you fail, your friends will die." Robin hurled the weight with all his might, but it didn't make it quite to the sandbags. Saturos frowned. "You have done well today. Your friends will remain alive for now."
Ivan finished putting on his armor, and the three adepts left the city to search for the others. After walking several minutes, a few large birds flew out of some trees and began pecking at them. To Ivan's amazement, out of the inside of the armor came vines, which wrapped him up and held him still. He couldn't breathe. There was no way out.
Justin, Garet, and Picard decided not to leave the city, but rather to stay there and train. Justin fought against Picard, but lost. Garet then fought Picard, and began with a fireball. Picard teleported behind Garet, and sent a wall of thin ice at Garet. He whirled around, and fire shot out of him, melting the ice instantly. Garet's hand began to glow red, and huge burning rocks each weighing several pounds began raining down. Suddenly, a transparent fiery dragon appeared and shot fire from his mouth, burning a huge crater in the ground. By this time, several civilians had started watching. They were not adepts, and therefore could not see the fire or ice or water, but they saw them running around seemingly wasting energy. When they saw the crater form for no apparent reason, they became afraid and ran away. Picard asked, "How did you do that?" Garet replied, "I don't know, I've never done that before, but it just suddenly happened." Picard shrugged and blasted water at Garet, hitting him in the stomach. Garet, panting, said "Ok, ok, you win."
Saturos said to Robin, "When Felix killed your parents, he said they put up very little fight. He said that they did give him several good screams, though." At this Saturos chuckled a little, which enraged Robin. He grabbed the three hundred pound weight and hurled it at Saturos, missing by a few feet. Saturos grinned, and said, "Perfect. You are becoming extremely strong. Felix will be happy to have another powerful warrior in his force. Saturos cast a spell under his breath, which Robin couldn't quite catch. He then summoned a group of fourty fenrirs. "You had better draw your sword, Robin," said Saturos with an evil grin. As the fenrirs charged, Robin realized he could use no psynergy. He quickly drew his sword and attacked.
