These Ivalicians truly were an entertaining bunch. He showed them a glimpse of what was to come and instead of cowering in fear, they stood defiant. Was this how Princess Ashe felt when she stood up to the Occuria? It was an admirable trait in them, but at the end of the day, no amount of stubborn fortitude will make any difference. They will fall and the Keeper of Precepts will stand on top of them as their new god. 

“[color=364f54]I look forward to where your words become more than that,[/color]” Zodiark would bow his head slightly as a sign of respect. “[color=364f54]Until then, you do enjoy what little time you have left. You might not ever get to enjoy it if you come straight to me.[/color]” With those parting words, Zodiark faded into a portal of blackened mist as it swallowed his form and all traces of ZOdiark within the great country of Arcadia vanished, the air finally returning to its purity.

And as they were left with what had just transpired, Savayna grunted as she would find her footing once more. “[color=lightblue]I...have a lot of explaining to do, don’t I?[/color]”

“[color=50c878]Not now, Savayna. There’s plenty of time for that to happen, but first you guys  need to find our Emperor and their Empress,[/color]” Shinto said, looking at the Rozarrians of the group, “[color=50c878]or have you forgotten that she’s out there somewhere with Roman?[/color]” Shinto reminded them. “[color=50c878]As for me, I will stay here with Lannit and as soon as Do--[/color]”

“[color=cb0015]WHERE ARE THOSE SONS OF BITCHES! I’LL KILL THEM ALL![/color]” The always obnoxious Dominic dashed in a flare of red and gold, lightning surrounding him.

Shinto didn’t have the patience to deal with him now, so he simply flicked his fingers in a swift motion and Dominic was struck with a strong telekinetic force, knocking him out once more. “[color=50c878]I swear to all that is holy, he never knows when to shut up.[/color]” 

“[color=mediumslateblue]Agreed,[/color]” Lannit said, rising up as he felt his head, “[color=mediumslateblue]I feel like I just died.[/color]”

Shinto simply turned and face the rest of the group, choosing not to answer Lannit just yet. “[color=50c878]In any case, you lot better go find them. I’m betting that they’re both curious about what just happened today.[/color]” Shinto would walk over to Dominic unconscious body and carry him over to Lannit.

“[color=ed1c24]Amazing,[/color]” Jaakuna found himself astonished at how many things EMiri could make him do. Or what she has made him do thus far. “[color=ed1c24]You really can make him do anything you want, can’t you?[/color]”

[color=crimson][i]Is this really the time for that?[/i][/color]

Jaakuna didn’t hear Belias - or at least he chose not to. Instead, he was deadlocked on Keiran who was sitting on the ground not saying a single word. If she could make him do that, think of all of the fun and creative things they - erm, she - could make him do. Bark like a dog. Roll over. Spank his ass. “[color=ed1c24]Oh, yes, this will work out just fine,[/color]” Jaakuna was snickering to himself, staring at Keiran wil evil intentions.

[color=crimson][i][B]WILL YOU FOCUS![/b][/i][/color] Suddenly Belias snapped at Jaakuna.

The blonde scowled as he would see Emiri and she suddenly changed clothes. “[color=ed1c24]Wait, what happened to your outfit?[/color]” He asked, completely out of the loop.

[color=crimson][i]Had you been paying any attention, you would have heard her say that she can still use her dark magicks. So, Mr. Genius, she might be able to use that spell that my younger brother had used on you to poof you to his castle.[/i][/color]

Oh. That’s why. “[color=ed1c24]Well, I guess it’s worth a shot.[/color]” Jaakuna simply shrugged, “[color=ed1c24]just don’t kill us before we have a chance to talk about...things.[/color]” Jaakuna casually told Emiri, vaguing referring to...something.

And just as they would prepare to do the spell, as Jaakuna would see Emiri prepare it -or at least look at him as she prepared herself for the preparation for it, there suddenly came a wave of unstable mist that Jaakuna would recognize all too well. It was Zodiark. He must’ve been gone from the castle for some time, because he hadn’t sensed that mist for the entire time he was here. “[color=ed1c24]Yeah, might want to hurry up. No pressure or anything, but if our generous host catches on, we’re dead,”[/color] Jaakuna said as light-hearted as he could, “[color=ed1c24]still love you~[/color]”
