As everyone was ready to move on, they did, with Clyde leading the way. Each had their weapon in their hand(s), as if ready for anything that would come. They would make their way through the initial level of the Ridorana Cataract, going through flight of stairs, killing enemies as they would, mainly being Deathclaws, but every now and again, there would be Cassies. Both of which were extremely easy for them to do away with since the numbers was five to three(how many of the respective beasts would appear before them).

Eventually, the group would make their way to the entrance of the Pharos and they would just stop in front of it, as if hesitating.[b]“Well this is it. You scared, Wesley?”[/b] Clyde smirked as he asked Wesley.

[b]“You wish!” [/b]Wesley responded.

[b]“Well, then let’s go.” [/b]CLyde said.

Wesley nodded and they would head in, not knowing what would await them.

When they got back to the Ifrit, Grant would instantly start by telling Emiri his and Jaakuna’s name to hers. She would say them as if etching them into her empty mind. However, she would repeat Jaakuna’s name as if remembering it. A hopeful look betook Jaakuna. Grant would ask her if that meant anything to her and she would reply that it just was something nice, and something about a sky and something warm. Jaakuna then smiled at that. [b]“At least it’s something.”[/b] He simply said.

Grant would turn to Jaakuna, asking him anything he wanted to start with. Jaakuna thought about it. [b]“I think perhaps we should go to Stigma.”[/b] Jaakuna said and then he remembered something. [b]“And I know exactly where in Stigma we should start with.”[/b] Jaakuna said as a glimmer of hope came over him and a smile as well. “IRIS, set a course to Stigma and please do go at full-speed.” Jaakuna yelled out.

[b]“Of course, Master Jaakuna! Arrival estimated in twenty minutes.[/b]” She said.

Jaakuna would then look at Emiri. [b]“At the very least, let’s get you some food.”[/b] Jaakuna said as he would place his hand on her back gently, guiding her to the dining room/kitchen area.

As they all were talking about their respective Chosen Ones, the other espers would all take it in their own way, though with Ultima barking orders at them, the remaining agreed, but there were some…complications with some, specifically with Shemhazai and Mateus’ respective ones.

[b]“Mine will be easy, but I do not think he is ready. His mind is full of lust, but perhaps I could…enlighten him of Chaos’ rashness.” [/b]Shemhazai said.

In response to the ‘Love Square’, Mateus spoke, [b]“For mine, she has placed her trust in me. As for the matter of her affection for yours, Zero, and how she comes into play of that Square of Love, she feels strongly for the Prince of the Roselia house, I dare say that she secretly wants to marry him.“[/b] Mateus revealed, though he did not know why he felt so…drawn to Savayna’s feelings. [b]“Shemmy, I think I fought yours. He is strong, so I do not understand how he is not ready.”[/b]

Shemhazai sighed. [b]“He is strong, yes, but I do not think he is ready for the complications that comes with my seal. I do not think he can handle it.”[/b] Shemhazai admitted.

“Oh come on Shemmy-chan, you need to take a chance, and as Ulti-sama said, we all need to step up. ” [/b]Famfrit said being the happy one of the meeting.

[b]“I shall see if he truly is ready.”[/b] Shemhazai simply said.

Belias was listening to them all and he was thinking about how Jaakuna nearly ridded himself of the attachments he has made to the physical world and how Zalera’s own almost had him complete it. Still, there was something about the emotional state of Jaakuna that gave him hope, though his thoughts went straight to Chaos. As the youngest of the espers, Belias was probably the one that was respected the least, but he still held ground over most. He felt like that he holds a certain connection to Shemhazai and Ultima, as it is his key that enables travelers to venture into the place that they were sealed.

Exodus looked to Belias. He was deep in thought, which was so much like him. He thought too much. [b]“Another topic we must address.”[/b] Exodus looked to his brethren. [b]“Our former king, the child of darkness, he is making progress in his plans. “ [/b]He said, [b]“If I’m not mistaken, he threatens to free you, Ultima, as well as you Hashmaal and Famfrit.” [/b]He said.

[b]“My Chosen One is nearing the location of which I was sealed, as is Famfrit’s. However, if I am not mistaken, Ultima almost got freed by Chuchulainn’s new one. Though, they did not get close enough as that one got lost in The Great Crystal.”[/b] Hashmaal said, [b]“I wonder, Ultima, will anyone even get close enough to even attempt to free you.[/b]” Hashmaal’s voice hinted a cocky-like attitude.
