A Ghost of Ivan fic

Ch. 4 Lighthouse of Garet-being-a-pamsy, Pt. 1

GoI: After a long time, I'm back!

Erk: Good for you.

Ivan: You're just lazy.

Kratos: Yeah.

GoI: Aw... I'll update this faster, especially over these next days... I think. Kratos, tell the reviewers stuff.

Kratos: Well, GoI has heard that has banned Review Responses, so I'll just say this. "GoI says, 'Thanks for the reviews! and also, not that there were any, Flamers, I don't like you so leave. And if you say this is like a walkthrough, yay for you. Now you won't need a guidebook. :P

We decide to restock our supplies, I go to the item shop, Isaac and Garet to the armory. At the item shop I saw a girl who looked no more than 10 years old standing there. She said to me, "My momma is sick, so I can be your clerk today. What would you like?"

I buy some herbs, antidotes, and elixers, when I notice another thing being sold. It was called a sacred feather, and was said to reduce random ecounters. I buy a couple of those, too. The girl decided to give me a Game ticket for my purchases. I walk over to Isaac and Garet and give them some of the herbs, antidotes, and elixers. I ask them how it went at the armory. Garet said, "The owners of the armory are out sick. We couldn't buy anything."

I look at them oddly and shrugged. So we all decided to explore a bit. Garet and I were looking around the west side of town, while Isaac was looking around the East. Garet and I see a snowman, which we ignore. Garet decides to go register us in the Inn while I examined the river. I stepped on it. It was solid ice. I looked ahead and saw a cavern. I try to walk there, but slipped and crashed into the froen waterfall. After I regain my conciousness, I look around and see Garet, smiling. He said, "Hm, and you say I'm the clumsy one, huh?"

Garet then uses his 'Move' Psynergy on the snowman, making it slide towards me. I move out of the way, then use it to propel myself to the cave. The cave was deserted, nothing was there. However, there was a Mars Djinni lounging there. I grab it and come running out of the cave, then toss it to Garet, who, for some reason, now had a Fire Djinn, while I had Wind and etc. Garet caught it, and the Djinn kinda gets absorbed by him. Garet suddenly feels stronger, I think, while he gets a small aura of flame around him. After that, I get more anxious to get my Next Jupiter Djinn, and we leave. Garet and I are waiting by the Inn when Isaac comes. Isaac briefly said, "...Healer... Epidemic... Mia..."

I take some time to process this. 'He certainly doesn't waste any words, does he? Oh... I think he means there is a healer curing an epidemic... and their name is Mia?'

Garet was frusterated and confused. "Damnit!" he yelled, "Ivan, do you have any idea what he means?"

I sigh and say, " I think he means a Healer named Mia is healing an epidemic around here."

Isaac smiles and nods his head. Looks like I got it right... Garet then said, "Oh yeah! We found a new Djinn!" He then held up his Djinn, Fever.

Isaac smiles and we leave Imil, headed towards Mercury Lighthouse. It was a short walk, took less then half an hour. When we reach there, we hear a female's voice. "Someone... Is here..." She said.

We walk closer to the voice. "Someone ... is here." She said again.

When I get close enough to see her, I see a girl, around my age, wearing heavy white robes and long blue hair, tied up in a... something... Well, it looked like the hairstyle of this 'Jenna' person who I saw in Isaac's mind. I could immediately tell she was a Mercury Adept. She had that... force eminating from her, showing strong mercury energy. It looks like she was trying to got into the lighthouse, but the statue was blocking the way. Isaac walks up to the statue and silently said, "Move."

A ghostly hand appeared and pushed the statue out of the way. The girl noticed that. "That... That was you, wasn't it?" She asked. Isaac nodded. "I knew it! I saw a ghostly force pushing it!"

Isaac, Garet, and I look shocked. "You... You can see our Psynergy?"

The girl looked confused. "Psynergy? Is that what this is called...? No, I have to stop Alex!"

She ran to the sealed door and cast a Psynergy on it. I couldn't tell what she was mumbling, but a fairy appeared out of nowhere and unsealed the door. Isaac, Garet, and I follow her. The next room is a long hallway. At the end, I can see the girl, and a giant Lizard holding an axe. She tried to get past it, but her attempts were futile. "Why are there monsters in the Lighthouse...? They've never been here before..." She mumbled to herself. Isaac starts to run up to the lizard, Garet and I follow him. The Lizard notices us. Isaac cast a Spire spell, and a Stalagmite fell from the ceiling. Garet then followed it up with a Volcan spell. I started a Plasma spell, and unleashed it. The lizard started advancing towards me. I grip the Elven Rapier tightly. The Lizard swings its axe down, and I raise my Rapier to block. One of my hands on the hilt and the other on the flat of the blade, I block the blow. I try to push the Axe back, but I wasn't strong enough. The Lizard breaks my block and manages to cause a small gash in my side. I then rush up to it, Rapier in hand, and a hear a voice in my head. 'VORPAL SLASH!' it yells. I take a quick slash at the Lizard, but it appears to have cut it in two, both halves falling into the water.

The girl bows and said ,"Thank you."

The girl then noticed the gash I had received. She rushes over to me, and muttered ,"Ply." To herself. I watch in awe as my wound heals. The girl then runs off before I get a chance to thank her.

Garet sighs and said, "Man... With a healer on our side, we would be unbeatable! Right Isaac?"

I sigh and said, "You know that you basically just insulted Isaac? He can cast healing spells too."

Isaac looks down and mutters, "Not... Powerful..."

I keep wondering to myself if he was always like this. We walk on ahead. After about a half hour of walking, we come across the girl again. This time, there was a small, jumpable chasm, but on the other side there was a statue. This time, Garet took the honors, and said, "Move." To himself. The ghostly hand appeared again and moved the statue into the chasm. The girl said, "That was you guys again, wasn't it?" We all nod. "I bet there are even more obstacles here I can't pass alone... So I'll follow you guys for now!"

Garet then motioned to Isaac and said, "This is Isaac, and I'm Garet."

I said, "I am called Ivan."

The girl said, "I'm Mia. Pleased to meet you, Isaac, Garet, and Ivan." I noticed she had a smile, even though it was small... I guess she shows respect for those who help her.

All four of us jump over the chasm and reach the other side I walk over to Mia and said, "Mia? Thanks for earlier."

She looked at me and said, "That? Don't mention it."

We kept talking with each other, and I was rather suprised to hear how much she knew about the Golden Age. That was an interesting time period, in my own opinion. As we grew slimmer on things to talk about, we grew silent.

"So..." she said, attempting to start a conversation,"You are a... what kind of adept?"

"I'm a Jupiter adept, and if you haven't guessed, Isaac is a Venus adept and Garet is a Mars adept." I paused, then asked, "Am I right to assume that you are a Mercury Adept?"

"Yes... Yes you are." She smiled, causeing me to smile too. I don't why, but I like it when she smiles.

As we continued walking, Isaac and Garet were geting pretty far ahead of us, so Mia and I started to hurry. However, luck was not on our side. A Lizard man, this time with a mace, blocked our path. I draw the Elvin Rapier as Mia draws her staff. I start to charge in, nimbly avoiding the swings, and letting Mia cast spells. I could just see how Isaac and Garet would react. Garet would think we were getting close to Saturos and Menardi, while Isaac would tell him it was just us. Back to reality, I kept on parrying the Lizard's blows until I find myself in a situation the same as earlier. The Lizards mace was on the blade of my Rapier, and I was pushing it back. But soon, the lizard started to overpower me... That is, until I heard Mia yell, "Ice!"

A large Icicle thrust itself into the lizard, giving me the chance to push it back. I run in to slash it, and Mia does the same. I end up stabbing it, and Mia knocks it out cold as Isaac and Garet come running over. "Damnit!" Garet cursed, "I thought you guys were Saturos and Menardi!"

Suddenly I felt my face pale. "Isaac... Garet... Behind you!" I yelled.

Isaac immediately turns around, his Broad Sword drawn, and sees several Maulers. Garet then draws his axe, and yelled out, "Flare Wall!"

Two rows of flame engulfed the Maulers and they yelped in pain. Isaac then thrust his Sword into the ground and yelled, "EarthQuake!"

The ground started shaking, but it was much more violent under the Maulers. The Maulers roared and rushed in to attack. One of them tried to bite Garet, but Garet raised his Axe and used it keep the Mauler at bay. Another Mauler tried to slash at Isaac, who quickly parried, but still got a small cut. The last Mauler slashed at Mia, ripping through the fabric of her arm and giving her a Shallow gash. I yelled, "Whirlwind!" Blowing the Mauler away before it could hurt Mia anymore.

Isaac and Mia start to heal themselves, while Garet and I keep the Maulers at bay. Garet, tired of being at a disadvantage, yelled, "Volcano!"

The pillar of flame erupted under a Mauler, ridding it of its life. As Isaac finishes tending to his wounds, Isaac jumped in and gave a clean slice to the Mauler. That, however, did not kill it. I run to attack the other Mauler, the voice in my head going off again, and I give a clean cut to the Mauler, who somehow survived. Suddenly, out of the blue, Mia yelled, "Tundra!"

Layers of Ice formed around the Maulers, who yelled in pain and die. As we continue walking, we find a hole. Isaac jumped down first, and we waited until he said, "It's Okay!"

Mia then jumps down, and Garet refuses to jump down until I push him in with my Whirlwind spell. Then, I jump down. When I get down, I find myself on a platform in the center of a small pond. To the north, I see Mia standing at a statue, casting her Ply spell. Then, something amazing happened. The platform Garet and I were standing on lit up with mass amounts of Mercury Psynergy, but that wasn't the only thing. I heard Garet Scream at the top of his lungs like a schoolgirl being raped. Okay, maybe take out the being raped part. I swear, if Saturos and Menardi were lighting the Beacon now, they would hear it, loud and clear.
