Back still turned, Jaakuna still looked at the Viera and the two aside Aloa shot him dirty looks. Jaakuna understood why they did. He pretty much insulted them and called them fools. Perhaps he was just mad at the suggestion that he should give up all love in his heart and perhaps he was just angry at himself for just everything that happened. Jaakuna didn’t know what it was, but he would turn to face them just as they shot him one more look before disappearing into the deeper regions of the village. 

As he was left alone with Aloa, she would let him have it. She would mention that she was failing to see why Jaakuna would aim his anger towards the ones that actually were trying to be helpful to him. By now, and as he should be, Jaakuna was feeling even worse than he did when he initially came to the Viera. He knew that everything of what Aloa said was true, even the fact that she took a low blow at him about how he was the one to dig into, as she said, the pool of Zodiark’s darkness. And that’s what reminded Jaakuna why he came to the viera in the first place. Aloa continued speaking, stating that should he leave, both his shame and guilt will stay with him and Emiri’s fate sealed. That opened Jaakuna’s eyes to the truth. He truly was foolish. Maybe he did overreact just a bit. He had a tendency to do that.

As Jaakuna’s full attention was to Aloa, he saw the two Viera that left on Aloa’s cue return, bows in hand and handing her a staff of blue and brown and gold and an orange vile. Jaakuna could only assume that the vile was the Dream Powder, but then Jaakuna’s thoughts went to what Aloa mentioned beforehand. He thought about how she said that he would need to drop all connections to his heart to heal himself of Zodiark. Even after all of what he said, it truly was the only way. That was when the two Viera would leave, Aloa about to follow them only to state that it was Jaakuna’s choice. That was something that Jaakuna was afraid of. Even more so, he perked up slightly about how Nadeline would be disappointed in Jaakuna and not the other way around to Aloa.

Jaakuna was pondering on what he could do. He saw Aloa look at him, as if waiting for him to make his decision. Jaakuna didn’t know what the right thing was that he could do. If he didn’t go, he sealed any chance of Emiri possibly getting free of her curse, but then on the flipside, he would have to give up connections to his heart. It was a losing situation no matter which way he sliced it. As he looked at Aloa, Jaakuna thought he was seeing things. His mind was definitely playing tricks on him cause he saw Belias right in front of him. That’s when Jaakuna seemed to be transported to pure white void, much like the time he initially got Belias.

Belias stood in front of Jaakuna, and shook his head. [b]“You are the one who defeated me, I pledged my life to you. I swore to fight for you with my life and you repay my loyalty by accepting the Lost King into your body.”[/b] Belias’ voice was full of disappointment.

Jaakuna was at a loss, but maybe Belias knew of everything that had happened. [b]“I have no words that express my regret for doing that, but he left me no choice. I had no alternative. If I didn’t, I wou--”[/b] He was cut off.

[b]“Jaakuna, all you needed was to trust my power. My strength would have gave you true purpose, but instead you went to the one that could wipe my brothers and sisters out.”[/b] Belias still spoke with much displeasure.

Jaakuna didn’t know that Belias felt so strongly about the actions of Jaakuna. [b]“I-I didn’t know..” [/b]That’s all he had to say.

[b]“You can make it right.”
“How?”
“Follow the Viera, cleanse yourself and give away your heart.”
“But if I do that, everyone will be lost to me…”
“Trust in yourself. You are the Chosen One, Jaakuna. You felt it, no?”
“You mean?”
“Yes, that flash. It was the seed being planted from my fire.”
“What does that mean?”[/b]

It was with that, much to Jaakuna’s confusion, he was brought back to the sight of Aloa and the other two Viera. Jaakuna shook whatever just happened off and with much curiosity from Belias’ words, Jaakuna followed. He uttered no words as he was lost in his thoughts, but merely wondering what exactly what the seed that Belias spoke of was.

The laughter and all the yelling(happy yelling) just gave Wesley a headache and it made him happy. This was the only time that Wesley felt happy around his family. He heard Nadeline say that it was wonderful to have such a big family. Wesley smiled and agreed, but for some reason he found himself sad over this. No, sad wasn’t the right word. It was more he was angry. Was he perhaps angry at his mother for abandoning him and his father. Or was it his father he was angry at for letting his mother desert them? Wesley didn’t know, but he wouldn’t fret on those thoughts. He did, however, have the company of his love and his family, so what was there to really be sad about? Nothing, that’s what.!

[b]“I agree and I am thankful that a certain uncle of mine isn’t here. He always makes things…uncomfortable.” [/b]He said in a high tone, as he had to at least make sure Nadeline heard him.

As everyone was laughing and shouting in enjoyment of each other’s company, the door slammed open and there was a [url=http://th02.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2014/269/1/6/gildarts_by_lawthebest-d7zaz4s.png] man[/url] in sight. Everyone looked and Wesley instantly stood up as if in anger. [b]“Well, it looks like everyone is here.”[/b] The man spoke smiling.

Angry, Wesley stepped forward. [b]“Uncle Clyde! What are you doing here?!” [/b]Wesley shouted.

“Wesley, is that you?” Clyde asked, inspecting Wesley. [b]“Well damn, it is you. Why didn’t you tell me you were coming. I would have brought Lianna too.”[/b] Clyde said laughing loudly.

Wesley’s teeth were grinding against each other. [b]“You son of a bitch! That’s not funny! You know she is bed-ridden. How you were able to convince her to take you back is beyond me.”[/b] Wesley said taking a step forward. [b]“Now, tell me what are you doing here!?” [/b]Wesley repeated his earlier question, but in louder volume.

Clyde smirked. [b]“A little birdy told me that you’re here looking for Hashmaal.”[/b] He smirked still.

Gasps were heard through the entire house. Wesley’s family were shocked. [b]“Wesley, is that true?”[/b] His mother said.

[b]“Oh, mother, I..”[/b] Wesley said, [b]“Yes, it is.”

“But that would mean..” 

“That’s right!”[/b] Clyde intervened. [b]“He’s going to need MY help!” [/b]He was laughing.

Wesley was just so beside himself right now. He gritted his teeth in anger and just didn’t want to resort to ask for help from the one person that the family hates more than anything in the world.
