Chapter 3 - Felix's Research
-------------------------
Before I start this chapter, I would like to point out that Hama and Isaac do *not* have a massive age differience between them. In order for Hama to credibly be Ivan's siser, she would have to be four or five years older than him. Given that Ivan is around fifteen, Hama would be two to three years older than Isaac. Just clearing up a small matter.
And was it just me, or did the Wise One condense the Power of the Golden Sun within the Mars Star when the volcano was just about to erupt in Aleph and he told Isaac to take the Mars Star out of the bag? Just a little thing I noticed...
I've been playing a debug room-enhanced file on Golden Sun as an experament, and hopefully will see if I can visit Lunpa and Bilbin without visiting Vault. Would be interesting... And before anyone condems me as a cheater, I have beaten Golden Sun 1 and 2, and did it long before I got my Action Replay. I do use the device on any games that I feel like, but I typically use it once I beat a game. Had to say this due to those that say that cheating devices are a wuss's answer to a "tough" game...
And while I am here, let me go ahead and get the reviews done:
Rain Child - Look at what I said above. And get a bag, Isaac. And Ivan, that pairing came when I needed something to give a conflict element to the plot. The pairing fit the bill, so I used it. And why are you depressed? And yes, time is cruel. As they said in Star Trek - Generations, "Time, is the fire in which we burn." Or you could take the novel of the movie and say, "Time is the devourer of all things..." Anyway...
Gay Witch - Yep, I seem to be filled with rare and wierd pairings. And yes, you cannot beat a classic plot struggle. Thanks!
SirGecko - Well, good! Nice to see another face that returns! Hope this chapter is as good!
Forgotten Souls - Hmm... Sort of my intent... I mainly use the shortened chapters as a way to get the chapters out as quickly as possible. I already explained Hama's age thing, and just so you know, my bio page has been edited. Let me know of any future edits on your part (and input! Mikaa need input!). Oh, and I left the main part of the quote in your Isaac/Sheba analysis due to the fact that it was written parallel to the quote. To remove the quote would be to make you look dumb due to the symbiosis that was formed. Anyway, I hope this chapter is good!
And now - my new muses!
Karst - Hello.
Agatio - Where am I in the story?
Sheba - You come in whe-
SHEBA!! [runs after her with Sol Blade]
Agatio - ??
Karst - Well, let the story begin!
-------------------------
Ivan walked into his house in Contigo, pondering what Karst and Piers told him. Was it true that his visions were one with war? Or worse yet, an apocalypse? Given what they had been through already, it wasn't hard to fathom.
But what was this "empire" that was forced out? Where did it go, and how could it come back?
As he approached his house, a young woman stepped out of the door, her eyes warm with affection and curiosity. "Ivan, why are you late? Supper was ready thirty minutes ago."
He looked at her, wondering how he should phrase his response. As she had grown, Feihzi had increased in her ability to use Jupitarian powers. Not to mention her beauty...
"I had to visit Prox to check something I saw in a meditation."
Her eyes now were filled with dread *What..?*
She stood aside from the door, motioning him in. As they entered the cozy house, he turned to face her.
"Ivan, I have been having visions of a war, of horrors that aren't natural. Of death and destruction..."
He wrapped his arms around her, rubbing her back. "Feihzi, don't worry. I'm sure that whatever happens, it will be handled easily enough. I mean, I helped beat a three-headed dragon!"
"I guess we'll be ok, but what of the others in the land...?"
Having no answer, Ivan decided that he would need to visit some other old friends in the future. But for now, dinner was on.
-------------------------
Milling through the vast colloms of papers, Felix let out a cry of frustration. After Nygel was born three years ago, he and Sheba had agreed that he should fulfil his promise and go back to the ruins north of Imil, to try to find why that monster had come about.
Thus far, all he had found was charts and paintings of horrors of hundreds of deformed humans. Some were animals changed by whatever changed the humans, but the dominating victim was humans.
He regretted leaving Sheba behind to take care of Nygel, but he always made it home thanks to the teleport psynergy that Alex had taught him. He chuckled at the thought of his brother-in-law. In the five years that Alex had lived in Vale, he had shown that he was good at heart. It was almost impossible to even think of him a villan when he was holding Jasmine...
Giving up on his research, he made his way outside, hoping that the cool air of Imil's summer would soothe his nerves. Three strait years had only uncovered a few things: some ancient empire had been experamenting, until some resistance group had rose up and forced out the empire, but to where was not known; what Alex had said about time being stilled was true - some experament to control time had placed a still-time barrier around the area; another discovery was that his tolerance had hit its limit.
Letting out a heavy sigh, he walked down the path that led to the ruined ship. The cave that he and Alex had argued in held crates filled with papers. Sadly, nothing specified as to what the empire was-
His thoughts were silenced when he noticed a cave that had suddenly appeared. Given the ammount of snow below the mouth of the cave, he guessed that it was uncovered by avolanche a few days ago...
Warping to the cave, he noticed that the cave had a dim blue-tinted glow. Walking in, he placed his had on his saber. Noticing a brighter light emminating from under a door, he pressed it open.
As soon as he did, he froze in horror.
Withini the room were rows of rows, coloms of coloms of huge ice blocks. Each one housing a mutated human.
Felix shook his head. He knew that the mutations were deliberate, but this? It was almost as if someone was breeding an army.
Waling forward, he noticed that several of the horrors found in the documents were here, with hundreds more.
And compared to how they were in person, the paintings looked beautiful.
Unable to stare at the creatures any more, Felix warped outside, catching his breath before he returned home...
-------------------------
This was a short chapter, but I wanted to get this ready for posting so that I don't suffer from the delays that hurt Icy Blaze...
Karst - Review, or he shall not continue!
Sheba - Hey! [runs after Karst with Sol Blade]
O_o When did she learn to use that?!
Agatio - Who cares? REVIEW!
