Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

When Aloa spoke, Savayna was angry, but she listened. Somehow she came to the realization that anything that happens would be on Jaakuna and Emiri and not the female viera standing in front of her. Savayna didn’t want that to be true. She wanted to blame someone for Jaakuna’s stupidity, she wanted someone to go after and not look at what is right in front of her and the truth that comes with it. Even as Aloa would leave, Savayna would just stare into blank space. She felt so many different emotions — anger, sadness, regret, guilt — all of them just piling up on top of each other. She just wanted Jaakuna back on his feet so she can continue on yelling at him, but that wouldn’t happen, unless the one of whom he truly loves and the one who truly loves him brings him out of his coma. Realizing this, Savayna cried and she fell to the ground, pounding it with her fist. She would stay light this for a few minutes.

After Wesley had apologized to Nadeline, it was not a surprise, as seen on his face, that he was shocked that she would admit that she should be the one to apologize, not the other way around. Wesley was definitely confused by this. He didn’t think she would have to apologize. Perhaps it’s cause he didn’t blame her for the way she was acting. In some way, he perhaps knew that she was justified in the way she had acted. Two of her closest friends were going to be taken from her and that’s something that would make anyone let their anger get the better of them.

When she would finish asking for HIS forgiveness, Wesley pulled her in for an embrace by pulling first on her arm and then meeting her with a semi-tight hug. His arms wrapped around her body. “Shh, you don’t need to speak anymore. I was never mad at you, Nadeline. You must understand that they way I feel for you, I would never have negative feelings towards you.” Wesley said, as he began to have teary eyes as well.

---

Jaakuna’s confusion grew. It came to the point where he was starting to worry about Emiri. She was spouting out these weird words about how nothing about their marriage is real and how that they aren’t even dating. She even would mention some full-based lie about how he murdered his father and admitted it to Savayna. That what was truly made him raise an eyebrow at the entire thing. One could even say that Jaakuna had a slightly angry expression across his white face.

“Darling, I could never kill my father. He and I are the best of friends. And Savayna? Why would I even say such a thing to my sister-in-law?” Jaakuna looked at her, more puzzled than ever. “And of course we aren’t dating — we’re married silly.” He said chuckling.

Jaakuna couldn’t get past what she said and kept saying: none of this is real. Every word she has spoke thus far had a constant about how none of this is real. Jaakuna just couldn’t understand what she was talking about. She even would go on to ask him a silly question. “Of course I know, you have..--” Jaakuna said as he started to hold his head. “AHH!” He shouted as his head started to hurt. He didn’t understand. How could he not remember? He had seen her body naked plenty of times, and yet, as he tries to remember, the pain within his head would only get worse. “Why can’t I remember!?”

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

Has she truly lost it? Jaakuna truly was perplexed by what Emiri was saying. Why would she say all of these things to begin with? She was saying these things about their dearest friends. She definitely wasn’t making any sense, but this truly was upsetting her, so as her hubby, Jaakuna would listen to every word. Though, he was finding it hard to believe what she was saying.

“Why would you say that this isn’t real? Unless..” Jaakuna caught on. He knew what she was referring to. “You’re having such a wonderful time on our honeymoon, it doesn’t feel like it’s real.” He said happily. When she would mention all of their friends, he got even happier, “I’m sure our dear friends will forgive us if we extended our honeymoon. You need not worry about them.” He said still smiling. “And my darkest secret? You know everything. I vowed to tell you it all, after all that’s what us husband and wife do, right?” JAakuna just seemed so happy. There wasn’t anything that would bring him down. “So, let’s go. Our supper awaits us love~” He said almost singing, and pulling her to a position where he and Emiri were literally spinning in circles

---

Listening to every word that she spoke, Wesley truly took it all with stride. He knew that she was right about it all, how that everything that happens, the god test and they will test even after the worst comes. He knew she was right about how Wesley would find himself even in the moment of being lost within oneself. As she would tell him that, Wesley took in her words of advisement about how he should rely on his allies and he should use his experiences to guide him to the right path. He would use her advice to the very best of his abilities. “Thank you, Lady Aloa.” Wesley said as he bowed when she departed.

As she had exited the medic bay, something was stirring in Savayna. She didn’t seem like herself. That meaning, she was quiet — she’s never quiet. She didn’t even say a word when she walked out of the Medic Bay. She had a reason for doing that. She would stop Aloa from going anywhere. “Hey, bunny!” She called out. When Aloa didn’t hear her, she would then rush over to Aloa, tug her arm and make her face her direction. “I just wanted to give you a fair warning. If Jaakuna or Emiri don’t wake up from whatever state they are in right now, I’ll hunt you down.” Savayna said putting Aloa on notice. “I mean it. If they don’t wake up from this, you and any other Rozarrian that dares get in my way will be sorry.” She said, passion in her voice and dare anyone say, the instincts of love.

Meanwhile, back in the Medic Bay, both Nadeline and Wesley looked at each other. The moment they had together right now, Wesley knew he had to say something. He turned to her and spoke “Um, Nadeline, about earlier, back at the Stilshrine..” He said, pausing and a bit nervous. “I’m sorry.” He simply said.

Jaakuna was stopped abruptly as Emiri would halt them from going to the cottage any further. Well, he wasn‘t stopped entirely, but he felt a resistant tug. “Dawn Shard?” Jaakuna simply looked at her confused. Well, maybe more puzzled than anything. This was the first he was hearing about it. “What about me and this Dawn Shard?” Jaakuna seriously was confused. He really didn’t understand what his sweet wife was talking about, but he definitely saw that it was upsetting her. The look on Emiri’s face was evident of that. This immediately prompted Jaakuna to stop what he was doing and pull her in for a hug. “What’s wrong?” He said trying to comfort her. There was obviously something that Jaakuna was missing. “I don’t know anything about a Dawn Shard. Well, I only know of the legend of it, but that’s it.”

---

Hearing Aloa respond to his observations, Wesley listened intently. He believed every word she spoke. He not only heard it in her voice, but the way she spoke it was evident. Her resolve was absolute and she believed every bit of it, Wesley had no doubt about that. However, there was still something off about every bit of it, but that was until he heard her say the bit about the life of a soldier. The life of a soldier, those words echoed into his mind as she has repeated that and that’s what bothered Wesley to this. Yes, he was a soldier himself, but he didn’t believe that was him any longer.

After she was done, Wesley then spoke. “I see. I thank you, Lady Aloa.” Wesley simply said, but there was more. “I now understand why you did what you did and how you can simply go back to your duties just as simple as flipping a light switch.. I respect you for that.” He said, but then he looked down as soon as she would tell him that she knows her role in life and would ask him if he knew his. At this point, Wesley clenched his hands together, He pulled it together and looked up “I-I thought I did. I was one of Dalmasca’s highest-ranking soldiers. I even was not far off from being named the King of Dalamasca. I had everything going for me and my future was looking bright, but then —”He stopped as his eyes started to form tears around themselves. He would wipe them —“but then, my father was slain at the hands of an Archadian Judge by the name of Ixion. At that point and realizing it all, I lost my calling, my motive for perusing the throne, and everything that made me who I was.” He admitted, not able to hold it in, but he forced words out. “So, no Lady Aloa, I know not what my role in this thing we call life is, not anymore.”

Tamer

Name: Carlos “Trip” Rodriguez
Age: 15

Appearance:

Personality:
Some could say that Trip is modest, humble, and gentle. They are right about all of those things. His ideals are not large ones, but they are his own. People think that because he looks the way he does it means that he is rough around the edges and no compassion, but that’s quite the opposite. He’s full of love, compassion, and most of all, kindness. However, he’s very insecure about a lot of things, mainly about his physical appearance and how people assume a lot of things. Some could even say that Trip sometimes hides his true self in fear that people will take advantage of him, which sometimes they actually do that.

In the company of his family and friends, Trip is reserved. He holds himself at bay for any type of conversation, and he’s not good meeting strangers. Easily frightened and often insecure about meeting new people. Again, that’s where the insecurity comes to play. He’s even shy around his family sometimes. He feels as if they don’t truly understand him. He often feels alone and frightened by change and anything that is related to change. His family notices it and they try to bring him out of his shell, but they fail almost every time.

Despite all of this, Trip has a very gentle soul and he shows that when he’s around animals or when he’s doing things that he loves to do. For example, when he’s writing his poetry or listening to music, he doesn’t become loud and vocal. He’s as quiet as can be and makes sure he’s respectful. Like, seriously; his guy is so insecure about being around people, and drawing attention to himself. So, he’s not going to do something that would otherwise prompt people to notice him any more than they have to. He mainly listens to teen-angst punk music, sappy pop-punk, and instrumentals of his favorite anime.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

It was weird. Wesley heard every word that Aloa had to say and while it cleared everything up, he still found himself in a lot of confusion and to be honest, he found himself lost. It was true, Wesley truly didn’t feel like he was himself, at least not in the literal sense. He felt so guilty about what happened to Jaakuna. He held himself responsible and if he had to admit it to himself, he doesn’t find himself worthy of being a Prince of Dalmasca. Now, as he looks up at Aloa, Wesley gathers the words to speak to her, but first he regains his composure cause he was just about to break down at the realization of pretty much everything.

“I think the reason you heeded to Nadeline’s request to help our friend is cause you find yourself at a crossroads. You know that you serve your country and by result, you serve your Empress. Yet..” He pauses, as Wesley starts to slowly walk forward, “yet you’re here. You stated that you are doing this purely of emotions and I believe that to be true. However, one thing still confuses me.” He said standing up straight, “You say that you will return to your duties as if nothing has happened. The thing that confuses me is that CAN you return to your duties? You’re obviously willing to risk everything to come to the request of a friend — a friend who is on the opposing side mind you. So, I simply ask of you, can you just go back to your duties fully aware that you might be at the opposing side of the same friend you risked everything to help out?” Wesley said a lot, but his curiosity was overtaking him and when will he ever get a chance like this to pick the brain of someone such as Aloa?

Jaakuna looked confused. He didn’t understand why Emiri asked where she was. Did she not know her own home? She was only gone for ten minutes. So, Jaakuna walks over to Emiri. “Oh c’mon babe, you’re pulling my leg right? This is our home. It is after all where we’ve spent our honeymoon for the past four months.” He said to her, smiling cheerfully. Jaakuna would pull Emiri towards him as he would sort of skip his way through the meadow towards the cottage.

When Aloa stepped into the medic bay, words were shot forth to not only her but also Nadeline. They were not nice ones, but both ladies would brush them off and Aloa would go on to state that just as Rozarria and Archadia have done, so had herself and Nadeline. The reasoning being to just help Jaakuna and nothing more. Wesley would accept that in silence and just look at Aloa with an approving look. He didn’t like it, but if it meant that it would help Jaakuna wake up, Wesley would not object.

As Wesley accepted it, Savayna wanted to voice her opinions on this and thus she did, but before she could, Nadeline would jump her vocally and state that she is not all one for betrayal, but she would do what she must for the sake of her friends. She would then silence Savayna and order her to hush as the viera would work her magic. Savayna was flabbergasted “WELL I NEVER!” She said completely shocked and just huffed and puffed in mumbles. She would just sit in the chair that she was sitting in, mumbling some not very nice words.

Everyone would watch Aloa as she would begin to inspect Jaakuna as she ran her finger in the air, which produced mist around her finger and then it would surround Jaakuna. Everyone could see that it was some kind of barrier of red coloring. The look to this barrier, however, was something that anyone has ever seen before. It seemed to be reflecting off of Jaakuna’s own persona as it was red like fire, but something peaceful about it. Wesley couldn’t shake it, but he definitely felt a warmth coming from that light. As he would feel good about whatever it was, the barrier then came to be in the shape of a small orb. It simply hovered above Jaakuna

When the orb just hovered, Aloa would speak about how Emiri would be the one to bring Jaakuna back to reality. Savayna, while she wished it was her, she knew that the feelings between her and Jaakuna were now on barely friends level. Even more so, she would further to say that she could only guide Emiri to Jaakuna, but it is up to her to do the rest. Without any time to waste, Aloa would enter the orb Emiri’s forehead and within a minute(probably less), Emiri would enter a state of unconsciousness.

As Aloa had finished, she would go on to say that she was highly disappointed in Wesley, since he is, after all, the descendent of the Dynast-King. That’s where Wesley was overtaken by grief and disappointent. He knew she was right. However, before she would leave, Wesley would speak. “Miss Aloa, I must ask you a quick question.” He said standing up, almost as if he was desperate. “Why did you agree to come back here? Isn’t your allegence to the Empress herself and nothing more? I mean, you took a huge risk of even agreeing to help Nadeline, did you not? I am merely curious as to why you would risk such a gamble, even for Nadeline, who you seem to deeply care about.” Wesley asked. It was more like he was pleading for an answer. At the moment, Wesley was so angry at himself for letting Jaakuna doing what he did back at the Stilshrine.

Inside Jaakuna’s subconscious, the skies present a wonderful color array from orange to red and yellow and gold. It beams wonderfully upon the meadow down below with the flowers, pond, and a cottage by said pond. It’s truly one’s paradise and for one hot-tempered Sky Pirate, it’s a literal heaven for him. He finds himself at peace in this area. There’s nothing about it that is out of perfection. He’s free from the ties of war, pain, and suffering. He can live, eat, and rest all he wants.

Right now, Jaakuna is napping out in the meadows behind his cottage. He’s been doing that for about an hour and as he wakes up, he sees the lucid light from the sun as it colors up the sky with red and orange and also yellow and gold. The clouds have a magnificent shade that echoes from the red coloring. Truly, he finds himself at piece. Jaakuna sits up and stretches, releasing a load moan in the process. He turns his upper body, bones crack and the release eases Jaakuna. He turns and he sees Emiri walking through the meadow. She is as beautiful as ever.

“What took ya? Supper is going to be ready in a bit!” He shouts out to her as he waves to her.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

With the abrupt departure from Nadeline, that presented some questions raised by all three of them in the room. It was just so sudden and without even so much as a simple reason or goodbye. Nadeline just got up and left. Wesley was confused, Savayna couldn’t care less, but she was also confused and wondered why Nadeline left all of a sudden, and no doubt that Emiri was worried, confused, and maybe just a little scared for Nadeline. Wesley can read minds, but he was just looking around the room and he saw the expressions on their faces. He just put two and two together.

The minutes went on, it probably was over five minutes, maybe almost ten minutes after Nadeline left. In those minutes, Wesley and had thusly taken a seat at the table in the medic bay. His legs were tired, he was tired himself, and he just didn’t want to stand around without cause. Savayna had done the same, but Emiri never left Jaakuna’s side. She stayed near where he was laying at. Wesley would take a note of what she was doing. He wished he could do something for Jaakuna, but his area of expertise of healing is vastly limited and nowhere near what Jaakuna needs. Hell, he wouldn’t even know what to do as far as healing Jaakuna is concerned. Savayna, she doesn’t know either.

After almost ten minutes of waiting, Nadeline would walk through the door, and Wesley would stand up in joy. “So glad you--” He said as he saw a Viera, but not just any Viera, the same one that robbed them of the Death Esper. “Nadeline! Have you gone mad!? ” Wesley exclaimed. Savayna was also surprised at who was behind little miss princess. “Well, well, Princess. You and I truly have more in common than I thought. We both betrayed those we sworn loyalty to.” She would say with a smirk across her face.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

It would seem that now they were in the clear for the most part. At least, they were able to breathe freely without the worry of the enemy to get at them every other minute. The freedom they now had would be put to good use as Jaakuna would not only be able to get the help that he needed from his ship and its AI, Iris, but also the rest of the group would be able to plan out what to do next, mainly just what they could do in the meantime. Nadeline brings up interesting ideas and points about how Archadia and Rozarria won’t wait around long to make their next move. The only safe haven they can find themselves in would be Rabanastre, but they only could stay there for so long.

Wesley and Savayna each listen to Nadeline and Emiri’s words and Wesley speaks up first, looking towards Nadeline first. “Ah yes, you are correct — the AI Jaakuna and myself stumbled upon is truly troubling. However, I do not think we need to fret about that at the current moment. With the Dawn Shard snapped in half and the Dusk Shard in our possession, the notion of the AI being realized has been put on the backburner for Archadia and/or Rozarria.” Wesley said, as he truly believes the fear of an AI going amuck every fleet of the Archadian and/or Rozarrian empires is down to a minimum worry at the most.

Savayna just huffed at what Wesley said. “That still doesn’t help us any. Most likely they’ll find a way to get to us and that’s not good.” Savayna said, “So, what little miss princess said is correct. The enemy won’t hesitate to come after us yet again.” Savayna said as she found herself agreeing with Nadeline, who would have thought it?

When Emiri spoke, Wesley had also considered it. “You just might be onto something, Emiri.” Wesley said.

Savayna, again, huffed at what Wesley just said. “A little too late for that. It probably would have worked if we got to that conclusion at the very start, but as you saw back at the shrine, Jaakuna’s body had thus stopped showing outward mist.” She said with a sour taste in her mouth. She didn’t want to be right, but there was not much else they could do.

Wesley bit his thumb, just wondering what else they could do. “So, if not that, then what else could we possibly do to help Jaakuna?”

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

It wouldn’t belong before all of them were in the light of day. The sunlight beaming down upon them was a refreshing change to say the least. From being in the Stilshrine for all that time and also being locked up aboard the Dreadnought Ark, just being outside was something that the five — actually, the four of them — had to take the time to just enjoy. It’s the little things that really made one appreciate life. Even though Wesley would had liked to stay and appreciate the sunlight, he had to hurry it up. Actually, all of them did. They only had a small window of opportunity before the enemy would catch on.

As they were outside and in the clear, the exit they came down from was on the side portion of which long pathway leads to the Stilshrine. They would walk along that pathway and after about five minutes of running, jogging, and walking, they were all suddenly beamed up. The Ifrit had arrived. As they were all beamed up, the ship would then warp out of the vicinity and would go towards Dalmasca and of course the invisibility feature of the ship was on, so no one would be able to track them. As they would get to safety, back on the ship, the expressions on all of their faces were mixed. Nadeline seemed to still have her displeasure look on her face, Emiri had..well a very sad look, and while Wesley had a relieved look his face, Savayna had a mixed look on her face.

“After all the years of chasing Jaakuna for the ship, here I am on it on the same side as him.” Savayna simply said thinking aloud. Savayna truly didn’t know what to feel right now, but that was mainly due to the condition Jaakuna finds himself in..

When they all got out of the pod-like area where they are beamed to, Wesley speaks. “Miss Iris?”
“Master Wesley, how can I help you?”
“Jaakuna is in a comatose state. Is there a medic bay aboard the ship?”
“There is. Go to the platform to your right and take it to 5: Medic Bay. Then place Master Jaakuna in the Montiroing sector of the Medic Bay.”
“Thank you Iris.”

As Wesley would step onto the platform, as would the women. Within a minute they would be at the Medic Bay of the Ifrit. Going through the first door he saw, he walked to it and it opened. Going through it, he would take a left turn and there was, as Iris had specified, a life-support type of bed where there was a holographic-type of monitor that would show the condition of whoever is placed within the bed. So, Wesley gently placed Jaakuna on the bed.

“Is this good Iris?”
“That’s’ perfect, Master Wesley.”

As that happened, cords with suctions attach themselves to Jaakuna, who at this point has nothing on but his pants. When the cords attach themselves, lights appear over Jaakuna as Iris will monitor his condition. All they could do now is wait.
