When Vlyn started to work his viera, spiritual mojo, everyone watched in nervous anticipation. He would take his fingers, glowing green, and he traced along Jaakuna’s arm. There was an initial jolt of pain through Jaakuna’s arm, but he pressed through it. He did squint and let out a low groan of pain. As Vlyn would do that, Jaakuna would continuously switch his gaze from the symbol on his arm, which for a second Jaakuna saw it glowing darkly, but it was probably from the green from Vlyn’s fingers and he would always look at Vlyn. At the point that he looked at Vlyn, who was silent and he would only speak minimally.
Vlyn had asked who’s soul it was supposed to be and Nadeline would inform him that it was supposed to be Simon Darcone. He would state that he was troubled that they were saying it was indeed Simon, but Vlyn would then say that the soul does not lie. That’s when he released Jaakuna’s arm and the sighs of relief overtook the room as they all did it in unison. Though, Nadeline didn’t join them. Actually, she just got up and left, no doubt to attend to her parents who said they needed to talk to her.
Leaving just the five of them and Vlyn, Grant would look to Wesley. The Dalmascan prince didn’t have a good feeling about any of this and there was that matter of Nadeline wanting to dethrone Reia. He wanted to tell, but was it right of him to do so? He loved Nadeline with all of his heart and soul and he would do anything to protect her. He didn’t know if her trying to take the throne was dangerous for her or not. Perhaps him protecting her was going to present itself in the form of telling Grant. At the very least, Wesley believed that her uncle deserved to know. Though, before he would tell Grant, the matters about Simon’s soul needed to be further addressed.
Jaakuna knew he was right. It was his father. Even so, Jaakuna still had this very weird feeling that something was there that wasn’t being said. Like, now Jaakuna was thinking if there was anything more to it. While Jaakuna was in his deep thought, Savayna would speak. “So, there we have it! Jaakuna’s dear ole dad is inside him. Now, we can leave.” Savayna said clearly tired of Stigma.
Jaakuna waved his hand. “Not yet. I still have more questions.” Jaakuna might as well as ask. “Vlyn, I know you said you’re not as intuned to the spiritual shit, but maybe you can answer me a question.” He said, “My father’s soul was trapped in Giruvegan by…well by someone I know that doesn’t have much ties to spiritual shit. I just want to know how could a soul be extracted from its body and trapped somewhere else.” Jaakuna asked, but he would follow it with another question, “And is there a way to return a soul back to its body? If so, how can it be done?” Boy, Jaakuna was just chalk-full of questions today.

Do you think the reason Jesus Christ doesn't rise again is because we keep putting up crosses and he gets flashbacks on how that went last time?

As they proceeded to the palace and through the halls, Nadeline went on just to state that the water that flowed through the pillars was magical in some aspects. She would explain how Magicite can sometimes be seen through the pillars and that even the water reacts to mist. That’s when Nadeline would look to Jaakuna and say that since the Dawn Shard’s mist flows through him, the water reacts to him as well as Emiri given her powers. Jaakuna seemed interested in this, but none of them had the time to wait around and admire the pillars or anything of the sort. They had more pressing matters to attend to.
When they arrived in the Throne Room, they came to view of Lorenzo, Karolina, and Vlyn. After her parents would welcome them back to Stigma, Nadeline would cut to the chase that they needed Vlyn. They agreed and Lorenzo said they can do their business with Vlyn over in Reia’s office. Though, that wasn’t before that Karolina would tell her daughter that dark times are upon Rozarria and that both her and Lorenzo must speak with Nadeline when it’s all said and done. Wesley seemed bothered by that. He definitely didn’t like the tone in the air when his future mother-in-law spoke. Even Lorenzo seemed to be less-energetic. Truly, Wesley was extremely bothered by all of this.
When they would come to the office, they all entered and Vlyn would take a seat on the front of the desk Nadeline would explain the situation to him and he would just go on to express his slight fear of what they wanted him to do. He said that he wasn’t as skilled with the spiritual stuff that Aloa was. He would say would go on to state that his time away from The Wood didn’t help much and reveal a big secret about Aloa and her being a former tribe leader. This definitely stunned everyone. Or at least, to those who cared. Still, Nadeline would tell him that they needed an identity confirmed. He would then ask who the lucky person was.
Jaakuna stepped forward, half-smiling, he spoke. ‘That would be me.” Jaakuna said as he laughed nervously. He held out his left arm, and just placing it in front of Vlyn. “I don’t know how you would do this, but whatever it is, that sort of yin-yang tattoo is where you should focus on.” Jaakuna said not really looking forward to any of this, but he knew he had to find out and everyone else wanted to find out as well.

Oh how the minutes went on rather fast. The entire group had gotten to Stigma in a matter of minutes after they all went into their respective duos. Nadeline and Wesley had their bags packed. Jaakuna no doubt knew that the two of them would be staying in Stigma. Nadeline had announced it and Wesley would stay just cause the two of them are now engaged, and plus the other reason was obviously to just make sure nothing happened to Nadeline. Wesley had pretty much volunteered to do it. Savayna tried not to say anything. It wasn’t like she could say anything to change the outcome of things. She didn’t know about grant, though.
When they touched ground, the group walked along the streets until a group of giggling girls stopped them. Nadeline would converse with their leader, Mikaela. When Nadeline had asked where Aloa was, Mikaela would inform her that Aloa was not in Stigma. Nadeline would then ask about Vlyn and say that he was overseeing the palace and that Lorenzo was placed in charge of things while Aloa was gone with Reia. When that was done, Nadeline, as Wesley saw, was in a deep thought about this all. As the group of little girls would depart, the group would head on their way to the palace.
When they arrived in front of the palace, a guard stopped them and asking who they were. Nadeline would state her name and in that same instant, the guard let them through. As they all would walk through the front parts of the palace, they walked across a lake. To Savayna, Jaakuna, and Wesley’s surprise, pillars rose from beneath the water, and created a path for them to walk on. The Rozarrians no doubt were used to this, but the other three were definitely not used to this at all. The three of them carefully walked as they wished not to fall in the water.
As they continued to walk across the lake, Nadeline would explain a little about the history of Rozarria and state that her ancestors were frequent targets of enemy nations. She would then further state that they asked the gods for a place to be safe. So, the gods told them to go to a place in the desert and place a single seed in the middle of it. As Nadeline continued, she said that this place was surrounded by millions of blooming flowers, but they all melted and thus how Rozarria got its name. The other three found that extremely fascinating. Wesley actually found it quite beautiful and very fitting.
Eventually, they came to get off the walkway and found themselves in some garden or something like that. They would just let Nadeline lead without saying much. Though, Wesley would speak. “Truly Stigma’s palace puts the Royal Palace of Rabanastre to shame.” He said as he was in complete awe, though he shouldn’t be.
Jaakuna looked to Wesley chuckling. “And Archades doesn’t really have anything like this. Damn Imperials being too militant.” He said in a huff. Savayna laughed as Jaakuna said that. “I’m right there with ya, Jaakie!” She said and Jaakuna glared at her, but responded not.

Grant went on to say that the Viera are a very spiritual race and Savayna had to nod at that fact. They had to be for Aloa to at least know how to bring someone out of a mist-induced coma. Then, Grant would comment on Savayna's compliment to him and saying that if he wasn't sexy, then it would be some type of problem for Savayna. She tried to hide her slight laugh. "Oh don't be silly, you're always sexy." She said blushing, and then she lightly socked him in the arm.
When Emiri began to speak about how bright Aloa was, Jaakuna didn't doubt it for one second. She was the entire reason he's standing here. She was the one that brought him out of his coma. So, she would definitely, in some aspects, be able to shed some light on this. Though, Jaakuna couldn't really relax all that much at the current moment. Just the 'what ifs' are taking over his mind and he can't find a zen place. Still, the comfort of Emiri being there with him no matter what made him just forget freaking out for the moment. "Thank you, Emiri. You have no idea how much that means to me." He said smiling at her, and then a kiss from his lips to hers was given, but it was one of those semi-long ones. It would only last for about ten seconds.
If Wesley was to say that he wasn't surprised by what Nadeline had just told him, then he would be a deceitful man. She laid out a bombshell on him, and yet he doesn't feel angry in the slightest bit. Yes, truly Wesley did not show not one bit of angry, or displeasure to what she had just told him. "I guess you're going to need your husband-to-be more than ever then." He said, probably shocking her. He took her hands. "Nadeline, we are engaged now. If you plan on to take the throne, then I will be right there with you." Wesley said looking deep into her eyes, "So, shall we go pack, my love?" He said smiling.

*sigh* I really don't know how to say this cause I feel like a big dickwad for saying it, but I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the pace you guys are going at. So, having said that, I say this with a heavy heart, I must drop out. I deeply apologize for any inconveniences this may or may not create. I do wish you all luck in the rp and hope it thrives. Again, I apologize for the inconveniences that I might or might not cause.

When Nadeline had pretty much answered his question in full force, he looked at her. When she said that Wesley would have to be the voice of reason when she’s gone, he stopped her right there. He took her hands, looking into her eyes so that she would have no choice but to look into his eyes as he would speak.
“You honestly think I’m going to leave you in Stigma alone? I’m coming with you. “ He exclaimed. No, it was more like he told her. The vindication in his voice was absolute. “How else am I to protect you from your crazy aunt?” He said smiling at her. “Now, I guess we both need to pack.” He mused aloud.
Grant truly didn’t understand how the female brain worked. Savayna saw that instantly, but she wouldn’t tease him about it. This was a troubling situation for anyone involved. She would side with Jaakuna of course cause she wants to see what this whole thing would lead to. Was Nadeline right about it being too risky and too fishy? Or was Jaakuna right? She didn’t know for sure, but Savayna would see it out. Savayna sat next to Grant and spoke
“Yeah, I will too. I don’t know how the bunny bitch does it, but she seems to know a lot about the magickal stuff. I mean, she was able to bring Jaakuna out of a coma.” Savayna said and then she realized that Grant probably didn’t know about that. “Oh that’s right, you weren’t with us when that happened.” She said with a slight smile. “Granted, it was when you were still a major d-bag. I mean, you still kind of are, but a very sexy douche-bag.” She said winking at him.
If it wasn’t for Emiri, Jaakuna really could have gone crazy. Maybe he is. Jaakuna has always felt like he was one step away from going to Crazytown. Hearing Emiri trying to reassure him about this all made him at least stop pacing around, but the next thing she said puzzled him.
“What do you mean? I never said those words…or did I?” He asked her and himself quite confused and puzzled about all of it. Jaakuna wasn’t at all sure that he said those words. He does remember saying something, but it definitely wasn’t those words. What happened then? Jaakuna just didn’t understand. “You’re right though. Once Aloa confirms it, maybe they’ll come around, but what if the soul inside me isn’t my father? And that I have someone who could possibly kill me in my own body.” Jaakuna wasn’t getting any calmer.

And that I have someone who could possibly kill me in my own body.” Jaakuna wasn’t getting any calmer.
The tension was so thick in the air, not even Giruvegan could top the thickness. The entire situation had went from bad to worse in a matter of moments and it only took Nadeline's stubborn(somewhat rightfully placed) attitude to make things like this. Jaakuna didn't know how to respond, Savayna didn't want to respond, and Wesley knew he shouldn't respond. Though, Wesley had to admit that everything Nadeline had said was pretty spot on. Reia will always stand between anyone who dared try to achieve piece. However, WEsley felt sympathetic with Jaakuna. The guy just wanted his father back. Wesley definitely can relate, but he had to side with Nadeline on this. There were just so many factors that weren't clear that made all of it too risky.
As WEsley stayed silent, Jaakuna would not. Oh the gods knew he wouldn't. "I knew it was asking too much for you to understand. You couldn't possibly understand any of the hardships I went through. You have both of your parents and you can go back to them once this one problem of that Lola chick is dealt with, but what about me? Nope can't. My mother died during my three years away from my home and my father is pretty much in a coma." Jaakuna said sighing. He was more disappointed in Nadeline than angry(well now, at least). "But yes, let's go to Stigma, find Aloa, and just take it from there." JAakuna clearly didn't want to say anything else as he feared that he would say something he would regret.
Jaakuna sat back down. "Iris, set a course for Stigma, and put it in maximum speed."
"Yes Master, Jaakuna. Arrival in 20 minutes."
As Iris responded to Jaakuna, the ship would be there in less than twenty minutes, and in the five minutes after that, the group had separated into three duos — Nadeline and Wesley, Emiri and Jaakuna, and Savayna and Grant.
Savayna and Grant had ran off to Savayna's room. They were the two who were, well they had no place in that discussion, not really anyway. "Shit got intense back there." Savayna said as she stretched. "What are your thoughts on it all?"
Wesley didn't know what to say, but he knew he had to say something. "It got pretty intense back there. How do you feel about all of this, really?" Wesley asked.
JAakuna and Emiri were in his room and boy was Jaakuna pissed. Oh the gods, he was pacing back and forth, kicking the air, punching it, and just doing just about everything that he could to get his anger out. It wasn't just anger he was feeling. Disappointment and sadness was among the emotions up there. He just couldn't understand why Nadeline was acting in the way that she did. JAakuna kept on pacing back and forth and he began to think that maybe she was right. "Was she right? Is all of this too risky? Is there something I missed?" Jaakuna asked half-rhetorically. "Am I clouded by my feelings of love for my father?" Jaakuna couldn't stop but just wonder if he truly was wrong. Everything about this had him so divided in his thoughts and feelings.
As WEsley stayed silent, Jaakuna would not. Oh the gods knew he wouldn't. "I knew it was asking too much for you to understand. You couldn't possibly understand any of the hardships I went through. You have both of your parents and you can go back to them once this one problem of that Lola chick is dealt with, but what about me? Nope can't.

"Am I clouded by my feelings of love for my father?" Jaakuna couldn't stop but just wonder if he truly was wrong. Everything about this had him so divided in his thoughts and feelings.
If things weren’t chaotic now, then what had just happened would make that plainly obvious. Wesley didn’t know what to do here. He wanted to at least have it open up for discussion, but Nadeline had snapped. Not only is she pretty much saying no to the idea of Aloa meeting with them to at least see if it was possible to return a soul to its original body, but she was saying that there wasn’t even going to be a discussion. Truly, Wesley’s hands were tied here. However, Jaakuna’s were not.
Jaakuna’s nostrils flared up, his eyes full of anger, and he repeatedly hit the table, clearly angry as all hell. It wasn’t cause Nadeline had insulted his baby. No, that he could just shrug off. Women insult each other all the time. No, it truly was the fact that she wouldn’t even let it be up for discussion. It hurt him more than it made him angry. Jaakuna had a chance to save his father’s life and Nadeline wouldn’t listen to reason. On the surface, he didn’t know why, but deep down he knew. She was scared for her friend’s lives. Yeah, that had to be it. However, Jaakuna’s anger overtook his rationality of the matter, and so he spoke.
“Do you really not understand what this means? I have a chance to save my father’s life after going three years in thinking that I had killed him.” And it just slipped his mind up until now. “I didn’t want to say this, but the man I thought I killed wasn’t my father — it was my fucking uncle, and that too was my grandfather’s fault.” Jaakuna continued, “You have to understand, Nadeline. This isn’t just about me wanting my father back; it’s about Archadia getting its rightful Emperor back, it’s about there possibly being a treaty between the three empires.” Jaakuna pleaded with her, tears tracing down his face. “I can’t do this alone. I need your help. Please.” JAakuna pleaded more.
Wesley and Savayna couldn’t believe it, but more so Savayna. Never has she seen Jaakuna beg so wholeheartedly in the whole time she had known him. He was pleading and begging with all that he had. Savayna now felt bad about all of the shit she said. Truly, his father meant the world to him, probably almost as much as Emiri does.
In The Imperial City of Archades, more specifically in the room of the senate, there they were — all five of them — in their chairs. Their direction facing Hamut. All of their eyes on him and he stood there smiling and looking at them with his one visible eye and his hidden eye. His smile was devilish and as if something bad(for them) had happened. As Hamut would walk closer to them, it would be revealed by his gaze and the rays of morning light, all five senate members sat dead, throats slit clean across their necks. Blood was gushing out like a water fountain. Hamut started laughing so evilly. He would then bow his head to the deceased senate members. His plan was coming to full fruition.
He would exit the office of the senate knowing that he would never have to see their condescending faces ever again. He would make his way thought the halls, and into his office. As he stepped into it, he saw the other three judges and they gave him a nod.
“Is it done?” Francis asked.
Hamut smiled. “Of course it is.” Hamut confidently said.
Levi laughed a bit. “So, what’s next?” She asked.
Hamut had gotten to his desk and sat down. He looked to the other judges and smiled. “We just wait for Roman to arrive, which should be in a few hours. Then, we officially put our plans into play on the surface.”
Ixion still was very nervous about this, but he put on a supporting face. “And what about Vincent?” He asked.
Hamut looked to his grandson. “Well, once Roman arrives, I’ll go to him personally and inform him that his services are no longer needed” He said.
“And Robur?” Francis asked. “He is faithful to Vincent right down to his very core.” She added.
Hamut groaned. “Yes, Robur is going to be a problem. He lacks freewill like the rest of us and he is severely strong.” Hamut said. “Perhaps we should use him to our advantage. As First Judge, I hold authority over him as well. “ Hamut said.
The other judges smiled, but Ixion was still unsure. “Sounds good, Grandfather.” Ixion said.
“Until now, you three go about your business. I will be giving the signal when ready.” Hamut said.
It was with that they went along their way and back to their usual routines.
About ten minutes later, in Vincent’s office, there he was as angry as all hell. He really didn’t know what to say all of this. Vincent was just handed information that could very well put him in a position that he would no longer be Emperor. Truly, the veins in his face were showing, clearly angry.
“Is all of this true? Are you really saying that my grandfather wishes to bring me out of my role of Emperor?” Vincent asked the person in front of him, bowing their head.
The person looked up. “Yes, your majesty. He plans to do so with your older brother.” The person said.
Vincent looked confused. “The only older brother I have is Jackson.”
“Oh you must not know.”
“Know what?”
“Back in his youth, your father had a fling with a whore and she birthed a son, Marquis Roman.”
When that information was laid in front of him, Vincent couldn’t believe it. It wasn’t for the fact that his father fucked some whore, no, it was that he didn’t know about his own brother. He knew of Roman, but he didn’t know of the fact that he was his brother.
Vincent looked at the person in front of him. “Thank you for this information. Know that when the time comes, I will make you my first judge, you have my word on that, Levi.” He said, thanking Levi for her loyalty to Vincent.
“As my emperor, I serve only you , sire.” She said raising herself and departing. An evil smile would overtake her face as she departed.
Jaakuna’s nostrils flared up, his eyes full of anger, and he repeatedly hit the table, clearly angry as all hell. It wasn’t cause Nadeline had insulted his baby. No, that he could just shrug off. Women insult each other all the time. No, it truly was the fact that she wouldn’t even let it be up for discussion. It hurt him more than it made him angry. Jaakuna had a chance to save his father’s life and Nadeline wouldn’t listen to reason. On the surface, he didn’t know why, but deep down he knew. She was scared for her friend’s lives. Yeah, that had to be it. However, Jaakuna’s anger overtook his rationality of the matter, and so he spoke.
“Do you really not understand what this means? I have a chance to save my father’s life after going three years in thinking that I had killed him.” And it just slipped his mind up until now. “I didn’t want to say this, but the man I thought I killed wasn’t my father — it was my fucking uncle, and that too was my grandfather’s fault.” Jaakuna continued, “You have to understand, Nadeline. This isn’t just about me wanting my father back; it’s about Archadia getting its rightful Emperor back, it’s about there possibly being a treaty between the three empires.” Jaakuna pleaded with her, tears tracing down his face. “I can’t do this alone. I need your help. Please.” JAakuna pleaded more.
Wesley and Savayna couldn’t believe it, but more so Savayna. Never has she seen Jaakuna beg so wholeheartedly in the whole time she had known him. He was pleading and begging with all that he had. Savayna now felt bad about all of the shit she said. Truly, his father meant the world to him, probably almost as much as Emiri does.
In The Imperial City of Archades, more specifically in the room of the senate, there they were — all five of them — in their chairs. Their direction facing Hamut. All of their eyes on him and he stood there smiling and looking at them with his one visible eye and his hidden eye. His smile was devilish and as if something bad(for them) had happened. As Hamut would walk closer to them, it would be revealed by his gaze and the rays of morning light, all five senate members sat dead, throats slit clean across their necks. Blood was gushing out like a water fountain. Hamut started laughing so evilly. He would then bow his head to the deceased senate members. His plan was coming to full fruition.
He would exit the office of the senate knowing that he would never have to see their condescending faces ever again. He would make his way thought the halls, and into his office. As he stepped into it, he saw the other three judges and they gave him a nod.
“Is it done?” Francis asked.
Hamut smiled. “Of course it is.” Hamut confidently said.
Levi laughed a bit. “So, what’s next?” She asked.
Hamut had gotten to his desk and sat down. He looked to the other judges and smiled. “We just wait for Roman to arrive, which should be in a few hours. Then, we officially put our plans into play on the surface.”
Ixion still was very nervous about this, but he put on a supporting face. “And what about Vincent?” He asked.
Hamut looked to his grandson. “Well, once Roman arrives, I’ll go to him personally and inform him that his services are no longer needed” He said.
“And Robur?” Francis asked. “He is faithful to Vincent right down to his very core.” She added.
Hamut groaned. “Yes, Robur is going to be a problem. He lacks freewill like the rest of us and he is severely strong.” Hamut said. “Perhaps we should use him to our advantage. As First Judge, I hold authority over him as well. “ Hamut said.
The other judges smiled, but Ixion was still unsure. “Sounds good, Grandfather.” Ixion said.
“Until now, you three go about your business. I will be giving the signal when ready.” Hamut said.
It was with that they went along their way and back to their usual routines.
About ten minutes later, in Vincent’s office, there he was as angry as all hell. He really didn’t know what to say all of this. Vincent was just handed information that could very well put him in a position that he would no longer be Emperor. Truly, the veins in his face were showing, clearly angry.
“Is all of this true? Are you really saying that my grandfather wishes to bring me out of my role of Emperor?” Vincent asked the person in front of him, bowing their head.
The person looked up. “Yes, your majesty. He plans to do so with your older brother.” The person said.
Vincent looked confused. “The only older brother I have is Jackson.”
“Oh you must not know.”
“Know what?”
“Back in his youth, your father had a fling with a whore and she birthed a son, Marquis Roman.”
When that information was laid in front of him, Vincent couldn’t believe it. It wasn’t for the fact that his father fucked some whore, no, it was that he didn’t know about his own brother. He knew of Roman, but he didn’t know of the fact that he was his brother.

Glares were shot to both Emiri and Jaakuna. Grant would ask what they planned on doing with Jaakuna’s father’s soul and Emiri nervously answered and Jaakuna getting a little worried about the group’s happy level. Before all of this, the mood was celebrating Wesley and Nadeline’s engagement and now it was shifted to the possibility of going back to Archades. The entire thing made the group feel uneasy and even when Nadeline would ask if Grant was comfortable going back to that place and he would respond by saying that wasn’t what he said.
As everyone would just feel unsure about this all, Jaakuna would clear his throat. “If you want anyone to blame, then blame me.” Jaakuna said. “I was the one who agreed to my father’s request.” Jaakuna stated.
When Jaakuna said that, Wesley would now speak. “So, your grandfather was the one who did this huh? I knew there was something not to trust about that man.” Wesley said. “That’s all the more reason to think about our next course of action.” Wesley offered up.
Savayna went from joking to being severely pissed. “Who is to say that whoever Jaakuna absorbed into his body is even his father?” Savayna asked clearly pissed and a little confused about it all. “For all we know, Jaakuna lowered his guard to someone that looked like his father. This person could very well be someone else pretending to be Simon.” Savayna was really pissed.
When she spoke, Jaakuna flared up into a standing position, pounding the table with open hands. “THAT’S ENOUGH! YOU DON’T THINK I DON’T KNOW MY OWN FATHER! Not like you would know Savayna, you barely could stand the guy, even all those years ago. “ Jaakuna had lost it, but after a good few seconds, he regained his composure.
Savayna eyed Jaakuna with dirty looks. “Low blow! Your father might’ve not liked me that much, but I did like him, thank you very much. Gods, you are just like your father. You have his quick temper.” She would say in a very loud huff.
Wesley would intervene. “This is what I meant. We need to think about everything. Whether or not Simon is who he said he was and how we can get him to his body.” Wesley said as he was struck by a wonderful idea. “Nadeline, any chance we can set a private meet with Aloa? She might just know a thing or two about this stuff, won’t she?” Wesley asked his fiancé.

The silence they all sat in was a comfortable one. Everyone was just too happy for the newly-engaged couples. Sure, there were some words thrown here and there, but for the most part it was silence. Well, except for the sounds of forks hitting the plates and burps being let out by Jaakuna and Savayna, but they have no table manners, so it wasn’t really fair to group that with the rest of them. Aside that, however, there wasn’t any sounds. When everyone was done eating, Emiri would collect the plates, and refill everyone’s cups with freshly brewed coffee that was just getting done as she started to pour it. When they each had their coffee and to their liking, Jaakuna would sip it and then set it down. He figured now was a good as time as any.
“Okay, there’s something I have to tell you guys that Emiri didn’t yesterday.” He said biting his lip. “I really can’t comprehend it myself, so just let me say it all and then give comments please.” Jaakuna said as he thought about the best way to tell them. After thinking about it for a minute, he figured just to go for it. “Okay, so The Voice? Well that was my father. I guess, according to him, his soul was trapped in The Great Crystal by my grandfather, Hamut Darcone. I really don’t know how, but the why is pretty simple.” Jaakuna said as he thought about it carefully. “My father, back when he was still emperor, was going to sit down with the leaders of the Rozarrian and Dalmascan empires to settle for a truce. My grandfather didn’t like any of that, so through some unknown method, my grandfather sealed his own son’s soul within Giruvegan.”
Jaakuna continued. “Furthermore, my father has seen everything that has happened through my eyes. I really don’t understand it myself, but he knew about why Vincent kidnapped Emiri. “ JAakuna said, “He did it to heal my father, but Vincent didn’t even know about our father’s soul being trapped in Giruvegan, but obviously he thought our father was just dead or something like that.” Jaakuna continued. “He went on to further explain that he needed my help to get to his body. Now, for that to happen, my father requested that I allow his soul to enter my body.” Jaakuna just realized how that sounded. “And no, it’s not like two minds, one body type of thing. It’s more like how it is with the Espers — their inside you, but as a part of your magick.” It was getting weirder and weirder as he further the explanation. “So yeah, my father’s soul is currently inside my own body and the new marking you see on my left arm.” Jaakuna showed the group the new marking. “Well, say hello to my father.” Jaakuna joked and laughed.
When Jaakuna explained, both Wesley was dumbfounded and shocked. His eyes was widened and they literally had no words on the matter at the moment. It wasn’t that he couldn’t respond(he definitely could), but it was just he didn’t know how to properly respond without thinking Jaakuna had lost it. However, Savayna would speak her mind.
“Well, guys and gals, it’s official.” She said, “Jaakuna has officially lost it.”
“Okay, there’s something I have to tell you guys that Emiri didn’t yesterday.” He said biting his lip. “I really can’t comprehend it myself, so just let me say it all and then give comments please.” Jaakuna said as he thought about the best way to tell them.
