After an encounter with Cardia, Golbez decided to go back to the cave he was
supposed to be guarding.  There was yelling in the cavern, and Golbez decided
that, once again, it was his job to save someone.

He ran through the corridors, which were filled with strange sounds.  They
seemed familiar, but Golbez was in no mood to think.  Whenever there was a
possible problem, his insticts took over.

Wait, that sound.  He knew he had heard it before!  What was it... Golbez
suddenly remembered good times he used to have... times when he owned a
bizzare pet... EVIL WALL!  Evil Wall came into sight.  "Bad wall!  Bad!"
Suddenly the wall stopped moving.  Someone was on the other side.  Evil Wall
started hopping up and down, which was the same as four wizards casting
Quake.  Golbez saw a statue near his pet.  It looked familiar, but he was
having trouble remembering, for some reason.  He used an Elixir on the
statue, which promply became flesh.  It hit the floor, unable to keep balance
from the sudden healing.

Edge looked up.  "Oof!  Golbez?  Is that you?  I haven't seen you for a long
time!"

Golbez rolled his eyes, although under his helmet, this couldn't be seen.
"So you just decided to visit?  We're getting a lot of visitors these days."

"Say, Golbez, do you have any explanation for the lack of magic around here?"

"Lack of magic?  Ha!  I hardly think a planet almost completely powered by
magic is lacking anything."  Golbez threw a slab of meat to Evil Wall, who
stared at it for a second, then Drained it.

Edge looked up at Golbez. "Well, my magic isn't working, and this place isn't
looking too good either."

Golbez looked around, and found Edge to be correct.  The wall were no longer
black with white streak, but just white.  "I-It...It's just your, um...
imagination..."  Evil Wall fell over, flat on its face.  "Oh great," yelled
Golbez, "It's so hard to get him up, when he does this..."

Edge found himself snickering but figured he'd best get out of this cave.
"We'd better get out of here, " Edge said.  "First the walls change colors,
next we're gonna be trapped."

Golbez picked up the warp crystal's fragments that he had found earlier.
Then they left the cave, talking of old times and ideas to join forces again.

When they finally saw the sight outside of the cave, their jaws hung open.
The landscape around them was quite different.  "When did this happen?" asked
Edge.

"It must have happened in the past few minutes." Golbez said quietly.  "Maybe
Cardia knows what happened... Let's go to Bahamut. He controls the source of
magic around here."

They began their travel across the newly formed wasteland.  Golbez felt no
magic or life coming from the terrain around him.  Maybe Cardia had upset
Bahamut... or maybe... it had finally happened.
