Hearing what Zodiark said, Savayna and Isaiah could only watch in horror, in fear, and in dread. They didn’t know if they should run and try to get away or fight Zodiark. It seemed like there was nothing that they could do but just watch and pray for mercy. All the while, coughing noises came, and after ten minutes or so, Jaakuna was coming to. He coughed up blood and of all people, Vincent went over to Jaakuna. 

[b]“Is he alright?”[/b] Vincent asked, though he got the death glare from almost everyone.

While Vincent was trying to get news about his brother, Jaakuna would open his eyes and see Emiri. He would then see Vincent and nostrils flared. Though, Vincent would back up and as Jaakuna would look around, he saw everyone and then he saw Zodiark. He would struggle to get up, but with the help of Emiri, he did and he would glare at Zodiark with a ‘I’ll kill you’ look. Zodiark laughed as if amused.

[b]“Jaakuna, glad to see you’re up. I didn’t expect you to up and on your feet so soon.” [/b]Zodiark even seemed surprised. [b]“Not like it matters, soon every single one of you will die, it’s only a matter of when, not if.” [/b]Zodiark smirked and laughed.

[b]“You never answered my question.”[/b] Wesley said, stepping forward. [b]“What do you plan on doing?”[/b] He asked.

Zodiark looked to Wesley. [b]“Wesley of Dalmasca, you are brave and noble, for that I will answer your question.”[/b] He said. [b]“My plan is but a simple one. “[/b] He said as the tendrils of darkness waved around on his back. [b]“I will bring darkness to this world and from that darkness will birth a new world, without prejudice or discrimination. My new world will have only one ruler, only one Emperor — me, the Keeper of Precepts, me Zodiark, your new god.”[/b] He said outstretching his arms, tendrils surrounding him. Like the smoke that he took the form of when he departed Jaakuna, so was he from their sight, but his laugh was still heard and words as well. [b]“Enjoy your freedom, Humes, for come three days from now, I will realize my plan.”[/b] He said as the sound of his voice was soon gone and thus the evil laugh was gone too.
