As he listened to Emiri speak about how he was wrong and how she did have to take care of herself, he wanted to say something, but he would just let her finish. She would then state that he wouldn’t always be around and that things would happen that would put her in danger despite what Jaakuna wanted to. He knew that she was right, but damn it he didn’t have to like it. Maybe Jaakuna just liked the idea of being the guy that would always save her. [b]“You’re right. I probably can’t protect you from everything, but I sure as hell will try.”[/b] Jaakuna said as he sat on the edge of his bed. As he just sat there, Emiri would bring up the subject of him not being totally honest with her. Yup, it was time. Jaakuna sighed and laid back on his bed. He just stayed in that position for a few minutes, still and mostly silent, with the occasional sigh every half of a minute. After the few minutes were up, he sat up and looked at Emiri. [b]“It’s true, I haven’t been totally honest with you.”[/b] Jaakuna said, arms bent and placed on his legs and he leaned forward. [b]“It’s about my nightmare I had back at Nabudis..” [/b]Jaakuna said.

[b]“In my nightmare, it started just as my best dreams have always been. It was me getting the crown as Emperor and all of my friends and family, even my mother, were there for me. The Grand Magister was just about to place the crown upon my head and then I was teleported to the time where it was just moments before I killed the person I thought that was my father.”[/b] Jaakuna said, [b]“As the moment played out, I knew something was off, so I looked over at my brother and his head was down and throat slit. The same was for my father. I then looked at my own self, first at my hands, and then down to my lap — both covered in crimson blood.”[/b] Even as he told Emiri, Jaakuna’s body was shaking. He tightened his fists to get his composure back. [b]“I then got out of the chair I was sitting in, turned around, and saw everyone dead — my mother, Wesley, Nadeline, Grant, Savayna — everyone with their throats slit and in my hand was a dagger dripping with blood. And that’s when you came in the door as if nothing had happened. I asked you if you could heal them and you did, but--”[/b] Jaakuna paused. He didn’t want to say it, but he continued regardless of how he felt at the moment. [b]“Due to the extensive amount of healing you had to do, you were lost to me, and you faded away, no doubt you got lost in time.” [/b]Jaakuna said as tears started to form in his eyes, but he wiped them away.

[b]“When you were gone, I screamed, I cried, and just did some more over and over again. Though, that’s when everyone would start to trap me in a corner, all saying it was my fault that you were gone. I rejected their claims, but the guilt of being the reason that you were gone became too much, it was so much so that a certain someone called out to me as he did before. This very person claimed that he could take away the pain and all I had to do was accept him as my god. I refused of course, but after he pointed out some grim facts, I gave in.”[/b] Jaakuna said laughing at how pitiful he was. [b]“It wasn’t long until this certain someone took control of my body once more and took away my pain and guilt. I felt no more and I was finally free.”[/b] Jaakuna said looking at Emiri. [b]“I don’t remember much about what happened, but I do remember screams from everyone, so I have no doubt that he killed them.”[/b] Jaakuna said as he recalled everything. [b]“The last thing I remember about it all was Lola-as-you came into the prison I was in and freed me. She was able to free the darkness that had consumed me. “[/b] JAakuna said. [b]“Once I got out, it was now at the point of two copies of you, you remember right?”[/b] Jaakuna asked her, but he continued even further. [b]“When I was trying to figure out who the real one was, he came to me again and said he could help me. All I had to do was allow a small portion of his powers to be transported from him to inside of me. He said it wouldn’t be like the last time and it would just be an extra source of power, so I gave in once more and that’s how I was able to figure out who Lola was and who the real you was.”[/b] Jaakuna said.

When he finished, Jaakuna looked at Emiri. [b]“The person who took over my body in the nightmare and who I allowed his powers to enter my body was Zodiark.”[/b] Jaakuna was looking away at this point.

When Shion would state that the young ones just needed guidance, Francis nodded in agreement. She did seem quite proud in the fact that she could lead the young ones on a path to which that they could follow to their death, not like Francis wished his son to die, but he chose a dangerous life, so he must be willing to pay the price of it. That was when Shion would inform Francis that Savayna was most likely going to die either by his son’s hands or Meli’s, to which she would warn the Golden Wolf yet again about joining her. Francis laughed and smiled. He then took his two hands and patted Shion on her very smooth shoulders. [b]“I told you back at the restaurant, I am joining you no matter what.[/b]” He said smiling at Shion. [b]“If you need anymore proof, then let this be it.”[/b] He said then tugging her to him, which would cause her to stagger to him. Francis would catch her in an embrace-like action, and kissed her soft, succulent lips.

When Grant asked if they were done, Wesley nodded and he placed The Sword of Order on his left waist and he would follow Grant and Nadeline as they all rushed out of the Armory and eventually out of the Building itself to go help Savayna. When they reached the streets, they headed back to the direction of The High Life, which was only about ten miles out from their location, to which they would hitch an Aircab to.

As the Aircab would take to the air and head back to The High Life, about three miles in and only five minutes since getting in, Wesley spotted a certain icy-blue dress from the corner of his eye. [b]“STOP THE CAB!”[/b] He shouted at the cabby and he would completely halt the cab and land it on the ground. Wesley had spotted Savayna and he would wave her over and yell. [b]“SAVAYNA!” [/b]

As she flew, she heard Wesley’s rather loud voice. She looked over, landed on a streetlamp, and slowly descended to the ground. She smiled at her friends. [b]“Boy am I glad to see you guys. I take it things went well with Roman?”[/b] She asked them.

Wesley nodded and smiled. He was just about to speak, but that’s’ when he saw two shadows above him and they would land on the ground. It was Meli and Michel. [b]“See hun, I told you that if we followed the soon-to-be colliding auras, we would find all of them..”[/b] Michel said as he smiled.
