As they got to the pathway, it would seem that they wouldn’t be able to get away so easily. A shadow became below them and tendrils emerged from it. Though things did look a bit rough, a Protectga spell was placed around the trio from Nadeline and the tendrils bounced right off them. Then they came to the glyph which blocked them. Grant’s handy work of Darkga blew it away and in the minute that followed, the trio got on the two bikes and they sped away. By the time they got out of the Gilmore Jungle and to the Ozmone Plain, the words of going back to Stigma came from Grant and Wesley agreed. [b]“And let us not forget about Jaakuna, Savayna, and Emiri. They are all in danger from the ninjas.” [/b]Wesley noted. He knew things had changed and the two empires could not be warring against each other any longer. [b]“Change is a comin’, and I think it’s high time we do something about it.”[/b] Wesley would muse loud enough for the other two to hear him. ----- When they were all sitting down, Jaakuna laughing it up with Wendy and Lannit. Savayna just shaking her head and Isaiah joining her in doing the same. Savayna knew these two and back in the day they all had fun, but she always seemed embarrassed by them. Jaakuna, however, did not care one bit. They were some of his best — and oldest — friends he had. Lannit looked to Jaakuna. [b]“So, what have you been up to these past five or so years?”[/b] He asked him smiling. Jaakuna’s laugh dwindled. [b]“I’m sure you heard that I was wanted for murdering my father.”[/b] Jaakuna said looking down. Lannit put on a serious face and then punched Jaakuna in the arm. “[b]We all know that wasn’t your old man. Simon could never such a man that you would kill him for it.”[/b] Linnit said patting Jaakuna on the shoulder. Jaakuna, widened eyes and all, smiled. [b]“You’re right.”[/b] He cheerfully said. [b]“So, go on.”[/b] He said. [b]“Well, I’m a sky pirate, actually.”[/b] Jaakuna admitted. Wendy and Lannit laughed. [b]“That’s Jaakie for ya! “[/b] He said laughing so hard he tipped over on Wendy, who threw him across the room, crashing into one of the walls. [b]“So, Jaakuna, is that all?” [/b]Wendy asked smiling. [b]“No, there’s a lot more, but too much for me to get into it right now.” [/b]He admitted. [b]“I’ll just say I have had one hell of an adventure and I’m here to make it right.” [/b]He said. Isaiah and Savayna looked to him and they wondered just if Jaakuna blamed himself for everything, especially Savayna who looked at him in that very way. Lannit, just getting up. [b]“So, who’s the brunette?”[/b] He said crawling so fast that he was in her face. [b]“Lannit, you dumbass, stop being so damn creepy!”[/b] Wendy said tugging on his pants and pulling him back. Jaakuna laughed and pulled Emiri close to him under his arm. [b]“This is Emiri, my girlfriend.”[/b] He proudly said. Wendy and Lannit looked to each other with widened eyes, jaws lowered, and in unison, shouted [b]“WHAAAAAAAAAT!?” [/b]Then they examined Emiri so uncomfortably close that they were touching and sniffing and just seeing who could steal away Jaakuna’s heart. All the while, Jaakuna and Savayna were both getting that ‘I’m going to kill you look’. However, Jaakuna would punch the both of them and they would tumble once and be sent against the table. [b]“YOU TWO ARE SUCH DUMBASSES!” [/b]Jaakuna shouted clearly angry. The two of them started comically cry. As they would finish it up, they put on a serious face and Lannit spoke. [b]“So, Savayna, how do you feel about Jaakuna here dating another woman?”[/b] He asked her grinning slightly. [b]“Oh shut up! I’m dating someone else, so it doesn’t bother me one bit. “[/b] She said turning red. And again, the two pirates would yell out [b]“WHAT!”[/b] and then the same thing would happen to them, only Savayna would do it this time. ----- When Roman spoke about the hair, Vincent smiled. [b]“Well, Jackson got his mother’s hair and you and I got father’s. Though, Jackson also got father’s rebellious spirit. “ [/b]He admitted and laughed. When Roman would speak about how Jaakuna slipped through his fingers, Vincent wanted to rage out, but he didn’t. He kept a calm center because he wanted to be rational for the time being. [b]“Yes, he did. Our brother is quite the clever man when it comes to things like that, but of course, I don’t need to tell you that, now do I?”[/b] He chuckled mockingly, covering his mouth slightly with his right hand. As Roman would point out Vincent’s false smile, he would present that same smile to him still. [b]“Well, imagine my surprise when I not only learn that our grandfather was planning on overthrowing me, but you, the Bastard of the Darcone name, will be my successor. How else do you expect me to act when I saw your face in the first time in six years?”[/b] He asked his older brother.
