As Nazo's attack went in, Seisui met it head on with the clashing of blades reverberating through the forest. Then, as Seisui would slide/glide behind Nazo, he would go for a slash at Nazo's head. Noticing this within the time frame that Seisui slash was instigated, Nazo pointed his sword behind his head, thus blocking it effectively. It was again, a stalemate as both swords were steady against each other. Nazo simply spun his body in a 180 degrees turn and he slid his sword in a circular motion that would move Seisui's own sword down as the momentum that the Mayonaka had allowed it to do so. Nazo, then took his own sword and used as much force as he could to impale the Mayonaka. The time frame of dodging was very minimal.

Jaakuna didn’t want to say it. He had been running from his brother, his family, and his home for so long. He loved them all, but how could he possibly explain? He killed his own father and it wasn’t cause he didn’t get the throne? That was something he couldn’t admit to anyone, and yet, he almost felt compelled to blurt it out to Nadeline, to Emiri, and in some aspects, to himself. He had dealt with it within himself for the most part, but now as he argues with this woman, he finds himself overtaken by grief and regret. Even now, as she says these harsh words, Jaakuna finds himself in a place where he can’t cope, but he must hide that part at least.

When he heard Nadeline speak, he lost it. He lost it so much that he rushed over in a fast, angry walk to Nadeline, picked her up by her clothes and pinning placing her against the wall. “First, do NOT confuse my lack of caring for the empires for my feelings for Emiri. Her I love, the empires, I do NOT. “ Jaakuna said, revealing a rather stunning truth that he didn’t want to admit, at least not until he was ready, but it just sort of came out. As soon as he realized this, Jaakuna let Nadeline go gently. “I’m, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do that to you. I don’t know what came over me.” Jaakuna said as he walked to the door of the cell, just looking at it.

In some weird metaphorical way, the cell seemed to be fitting for him as this is how Jaakuna has been living — feeling, for the past three years. Ever since the death of his father, he felt like he belonged in a cell and he knew that eventually he would be in one. “You know, it’s funny. “ Jaakuna said smiling, turning to Emiri and Nadeline’s direction. “I did something — something bad, and I knew that eventually it would land me in a cell like this one..or worse. But, to be found out for trespassing is truly amusing. I just wonder how bad it would be if I were found out for murder..” Jaakuna stopped there. He couldn’t even bring himself to say it, let alone tell the two ladies about it. At least, not yet. He needed time to..well he doesn’t know what he needs time for, but he just knows right now isn’t the right time or place to do it.

Jaakuna was amused and a bit angry that this woman, Nadeline, actually thought Jaakuna was actually wrong in putting the blame on her. Perhaps he was slightly wrong, and perhaps what she said about Belias was true, but still. Jaakuna still believed that if Nadeline had never sought them out, if she had never showed them that book about the Tomb, Jaakuna wouldn’t be in this mess and he wouldn’t be arrested.

Jaakuna looked at her, getting in real close. He was tempted to hit her, but he didn’t. “Listen here, you little blonde bitch! I really don’t give a fuck about your empire or any of the shit they seek. I gave up caring about what either empire does a long time ago. “ Jaakuna said as he yelled right to her face. “The whole world could end tomorrow and I won’t care. Archadia could win, your precious Rozarrian Empire can win. Hell, Dalmasca could take the war, and guess what? No fucks will be given.” Jaakuna said turning away looking at the steel that made the cell. He punched the wall. “I simply don’t care..” Jaakuna said those words, but deep down he didn’t mean it. If someone was close enough, they could see tears forming at the edges of his eyes and the look in those very eyes were full of lies…and regret.

The situation was bad, but all Jaakuna could do was pace back and forth, hands on hips, and angry as all hell. Jaakuna didn’t want to say it, but he didn’t know how to get out of this mess and even worse it would seem they would be put on trial. One of many for Jaakuna, he knew that much. As he was pacing back and forth, Jaakuna didn’t really hear much, but he did hear Nadeline as if he must keep pacing back and forth. Jaakuna looked at her.

“Well, what do you expect I do? We’re stuck in here and it seems that we’re going to be put on trial. I mean, fucking shit! We’re only in this mess cause of you. YOU JUST HAD TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH OF RAITHWALL!” Jaakuna yelled as he stopped pacing and faced Nadeline. Jaakuna blamed her for the mess their in. They all would be happily in Rabanastre, undetected if Nadeline hadn’t sought them out.

This is a situation that Jaakuna didn’t want to be in. One, Jaakuna didn’t want to be arrested, so that’s always a downer. Second, Jaakuna didn’t like the idea of leaving his airship behind. This really sucked and Jaakuna didn’t know what to do. Then, he remembered that he had a transmitter of sorts that connected him to Iris. So, pressing it softly, Jaakuna spoke as clearly, but as quietly as he could.

“Iris, if you can hear me, slowly fly the Ifrit away from the Tomb. It seems that we have ran into some unforeseen trouble. Just keep in distance of the Valefor. I will alert you when we are able to get free.” Jaakuna said as quickly, clearly, and silently as he could.

Iris responded. “Yes master Jaakuna.”

Jaakuna heard Iris respond and now he, reluctantly surrendered as he and the two ladies went down the steps to the ground floor. When they got down, they were met by cuffs of sorts. They were actually magickal cuffs, but they were cuffs nonetheless. They were placed on their hands as their arms were in front of their bodies, somewhat weighed down by the cuffs.

Jaakuna, Emiri, and Nadeline were led to the end of the ground floor until they were led into the Valefor. They walked up the metal ramp and at the top of it was waiting someone special. Jaakuna regonized him instantly.

“Oh fuck. Welp, we’re screwed.” Jaakuna cursed as he was forced to walk by the soldiers that were guiding them all.

There stood a man who just expressed mystery and calmness all around him.

The man looked at them. “Ah, it would seem fate smiles upon me. The three who are charged with trespassing upon my ancestor’s resting place. I, Wesley Alexander, Royal Prince of Dalmasca and captain of the ship Valefor, welcome you. Wesley said as he motioned the soldiers to take the prisoners to cell block A.

“Oh and be sure to confiscate their weapons. “ Wesley said.

The soldiers took the four swords that Jaakuna had, though they forgot about the Dawn Shard. They also took Emiri’s Longsword, dagger, and her bow. They also took Nadeline’s Rapier and proceeded to escort them to the cell block.

Wesley walked to the room where the wheel to the airship was. “Set a course for Rabanastre. These three will be tried in a court of law.” Wesley said as the course was set and so it shall be.

Meanwhile, Jaakuna and the ladies were placed in the same cell together. “Well this sucks donkey ass! I can’t believe we got arrested.” Jaakuna said as he was just pacing back and forth and just complaining and complaining. He was not happy.

Warping from the deepest regions of the Tomb of Raithwall, the three of them were happy to be outside. Jaakuna didn’t mind the dustiness of the tomb, but boy was he happy to smell fresh air again. Just having something to fly up in made Jaakuna happy. However, as he looked out on the ground below, he was not happy, not in the very least. Jaakuna saw that the soldiers of Dalmasca were right there, waiting for them. An airship above known as the Valefor hovered over the clearing below. Jaakuna didn’t even think that airships aside from a choice few would be able to get past the Jagd of the Sansea, but it would seem that Jaakuna was wrong in that.

Looking around, Jaakuna didn’t see many options. They could fight through the forces and hope for a narrow escape or they could surrender. Jaakuna really didn’t know what there was else to do. He didn’t like the idea of being arrested, but he definitely didn’t want to risk fighting the troops of Dalmasca. He wanted to remain on their good side as Rabanastre was the only place that he could go to for sanctuary.

“So, what say you guys? Surrender or fight these clowns?” Who was he kidding, Jaakuna didn’t want to fight, but he had to ask.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

Jaakuna was in agreement with Nadeline. He definitely knew that using the Dawn Shard — or any defected Nethecite in general — would be hazardous to ones health and even worse, it could mean for great disaster. Perhaps Jaakuna was wrong to seek it out. He originally thought it would be gil upon gil, but he was wrong. Jaakuna just didn’t expect the Dawn Shard to be in the Tomb of Raithwall. This definitely was a crossroads for him.

Jaakuna put the Dawn Shard in his pocket. He seemed not to be affected by it, so he would keep it in his possession. Jaakuna clapped his hands. “O-kay, I think we should get out of here.” Jaakuna said as he went through the door, only to find a Way Stone right dab-middle of the room. As he went to it, no doubt that Emiri and Nadeline had followed him. He waited for the two ladies to get around the Way Stone so that the three of them can get the hell out of the tomb.

They all were right in celebrating. Jaakuna gained the services of Belias, The Gigas, and well, it was a great feat by all three of them. Jaakuna even saw some growth in Emiri, and in himself. This victory was certainly something remarkable and they all just were jumping up and down. Granted, Jaakuna was brought in by force, but he eventually gave into the sensation of all of the excitement. He was just as happy as the other two were.

When the jumping and cheering and celebrating ended, everyone suddenly went quiet. Jaakuna also was quiet, surprisingly; he’s never quiet. Regardless, the attention of both of the girls went to the oddly shining stone in the statue. Jaakuna also was drawn to it. Could that be the treasure of the Dynast-King, Raithwall? Jaakuna pondered on that thought as Nadeline held it in her hand and approached Jaakuna about what it could be. Jaakuna looked at it — touched it, and took it from Nadeline. He knew what it was, but how?

”Holy shit, I don’t believe it!” Jaakuna said.

He knew what it was. Jaakuna just couldn’t believe that THIS was the treasure of the great Dynast-King. “Do you guys not know what this is?” Jaakuna asked them. “This is a piece of Nethecite known as the Dawn Shard.” Jaakuna said as he just couldn’t believe it. Of all places, it would be here. He remembers reading about it back when he was still living in Archades. Jaakuna doesn’t remember exactly what it did, but from his memory, Nethecite of legend usually lead to trouble. “I just can’t believe it.” Jaakuna said as he held it in his hand still. He seemed to not be affected by whatever effect that it seemed to be having on Emiri.

After Jaakuna unleashed his attack upon the man-beast, he heard the cheering and whistling from the two ladies. Jaakuna had his own cheerleaders. He was just riveting in it and just wanted to savor each moment of it. The cheering did last for a few more seconds until they decided to jump at the chance to get the beast. As Jaakuna saw what they were doing to it, he was both amazed at what fluidity their movements had with each other, but also he found himself so into the actual attack they were doing. Jaakuna didn’t know how they could be so fluid in their movements, but as he saw they would eventually bring their weapons up for a united strike and a burst of magickal energy was released, taking the form of an X.

The blast from their united attack hit the beast, taking even more damage prior to the X attack. Jaakuna saw that the beast was kneeling down on one knee, using its lance weapon to hold it staying up. Jaakuna knew that this was his only chance to finally finish the beast off. Jaakuna went forward, standing in front of the beast. The beast itself started back at Jaakuna as if the two of them knew exactly was what going to happen. Though Jaakuna couldn’t explain it, he somehow knew that the beast was going to be defeated and in some way, the man-beast was asking Jaakuna to do it.

Shaking off that feeling, Jaakuna stood just three feet in front of the man-beast, and embraced the Myst within his body. Holding his two arms outward, hands facing the same direction that Jaakuna was looking at, and his fingers extended. The magickal prosperities of the Myst engulfed his arms, centering around his hands. The mist took the form of red and white fire. Jaakuna would bring his hands to the center of his body, fingers still extended. “Sea Of Flames!” He commanded as the Myst exploded. The form of a red and white fiery went towards the man-beast.

As the wave of red and white fire went towards the beast, it tried to fend it off by blocking it with its weapon — which was being held with it’s two big hands. The other hands were preparing an attack of its own known as Painflare, but even that couldn’t fend it off for long. Jaakuna was using as much of the Myst that his body would allow. IT would be a minute and a half until the man-beast’s defense started to give. First, his weapon snapped in two. Then, it happened — it was overtaken by the attack. The fire went through its body and it shattered into crystallized bits, only revealing a glyph of sorts.

“I-I-I did it.” Jaakuna couldn’t believe it.

As he was about to celebrate, Jaakuna was overtaken by a white light and brought to some dimension that was of only white void. “What is this?” Jaakuna said as he looked around for Emiri and Nadeline, but he couldn’t find him.

When he looked around, Jaakuna heard an eerie, deep voice. “You, who has defeated me in combat.” The voice said.

Jaakuna looked and saw the man-beast. “Back for round two, eh?” Jaakuna said grabbing Demonsbane, or at least he was about it.

“Fret not young warrior, I wish not to fight you a second time.” The voice spoke, “I am here to present my services. “ The voice said.

“Services? What do you mean?” JAakuna said conused.

The figure spoke. “You have proven your power to me. “ He said, walking to Jaakuna, kneeling and raising his weapon. “Like I did for the Dynast-King centuries ago, I offer you my power and strength. Your enemies are my enemies and by result, your allies will be my allies.” He spoke.

Jaakuna didn’t know what to say. “Does the one in front of me have a name?” Jaakuna asked without being as awkward as he felt at the moment.

“I am called Belias, The Gigas.” Belias spoke.

Jaakuna nodded. “I am honored, Belias.” Jaakuna said.

The white light faded and Jaakuna found himself back in the dusty Tomb of Raithwall. He looked around and Jaakuna felt stronger. He also felt weird, but stronger. He then looked back at Emiri and Nadeline. It would seem that seconds only passed to the several minutes it felt like in the white void where he was just at.

“Damn, that was trippy.” Jaakuna said scratching his head.
