As Emiri would answer her question, Levi nodded her head as she acknowledged that. She would raise her hands up and a faint blue glow would start to flicker. she would smile as Jaakuna eyed her carefully. She would slightly chuckle as he still didn't completely believe that she could do this. Levi would just brush off what Jaakuna was possibly saying to himself or under his breath. Levi stood behind Emiri, hands over the brunette's head. "Good, good." Levi said, "Now, can you tell me your age and who your parents are? Full names please."

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

To say that he was surprised would be an understatement. Jaakuna would just look at Emiri as she said that she wanted to give it a shot if there was a way. Jaakuna wanted her to have her memories just as much as she did, but was it worth the risk? Jaakuna didn't know how the process would affect Emiri and if there was any side effects that would come afterwards. "Only if you're sure." Jaakuna told Emiri as he looked at her and then shot Levi a look . He would then pick up his jacket and put it on.

"Fine then, let's get started." Levi said, "Jackson, I believe the dining room would be best." She suggested.

Eyeing Levi, Jaakuna would motion her to follow him as he took Emiri's hand and they would start walking to the Dining Room. In three minutes, they would arrive and Jaakuna would take a seat next to Emiri and Levi stayed standing.

"Okay, honey, relax yourself." Levi said to Emiri, "I will start by some base questions." Levi said, "Can you remember your name?" She asked her.

"What are you doing here!?" Jaakuna asked Levi.

Looking at the both of them, Levi couldn't help but just smile. She certainly was amused by the way that Jaakuna was getting all angry. Her presence definitely set him off and not in the good way. She could clearly see how angry he was getting just by looking at her and the way he stood in front of Emiri made her smile for a whole other reason. Still, the reason she was here in the Ifrit was not one of fighting. "Relax Jackson, I am not here to cause any trouble." She would assure him.

Jaakuna didn't know if she was lying or actually speaking the truth, but his past experiences with Levi both while on the run and back when he was living in Archades as the crown prince. "Why should I believe you? Everything that you have done in the past suggests otherwise." JAakuna said.

Levi had to admit, he was right about everything. Levi did like to fight and she has picked fights with JAakuna and his friends on more than one occasion."I won't lie to you. I have proven to everyone that I am very dangerous and not to be trusted, but just take my word on it, Jackson. I am actually here to help you." Levi said.

Jaakuna now found himself more curious than cautious. "Say that just for a second, that you're telling the truth. " Jaakuna said as he looked to Emiri before looking back at Levi. "What can you do to help us?" Jaakuna asked her.

Levi smiled. "Word around the grapevine is that Chaos wiped this pretty girl's memory clean." Levi said, "I can restore her memory and even more so, I can make it to where her powers are not a threat to her anymore." Levi revealed.

"You're lying. You have to be." Jaakuna said in disbelief.

Jakauna didn't know what to make of what Levi just said. First off, he didn't know that she possessed such powers that enabled her to restore memory. There was also the fact on why exactly she would want to do such a thing. Jaakuna hadn't known Levi to do something for others without any benefits for her. The other thing that raised a red flag in Jaakuna's mind was the fact that she claimed that she was able to make Emiri's power to such a level that it wouldn't harm Emiri anymore. Truly, this troubled Jaakuna and confused him just as equally.

"When have you known for me to lie about such things? Even if you and I fell out of touch long ago, I wouldn't dare lie about such a thing." Levi said trying to convince Jaakuna.

Not responding, at least not instantly, to Levi, Jaakuna looked to Emiri, who no doubt was taken back by all of it. "What do you think? Do you believe her?" Jaakuna asked Emiri.

The journey to the Great Crystal was definitely one of a silent one and nothing new. Since they have been here before, going through Giruvegan was nothing but a slight bother. Killing enemies wasn't going to slow them down as they seemed to be incredibly weaker than they were the last time the group was in Giruvegan. It wouldn't be long until they would make their way to the Way Stone that would warp them to The Great Crystal, to which it brought a calmness to the group. At least, it did for Savayna. For some reason, being in the Great Crystal just made her relaxed. However, for Wesley, he just remembered the last time that he was in The Great Crystal, Nadeline almost died and he did as well. Still, they were here for their mission, so he would follow Nadeline's lead as she would lead them down a random path that she picked. Savayna would follow as well.

Minutes passed and the kiss went deeper into passion. It was at a point that Jaakuna gripped the side of her legs, tracing his hands around her round buttocks. It was as if the sexual desire and physical attraction took over as Jaakuna lifted her up, breaking away from the kiss just slightly, and leaning her against the wall just a few feet to the left of the beaming station. Jaakuna's chest was slightly pressing her against it, and all the while, Jaakuna would remove his jacket revealing his bare chest in all of its tattooed glory. That's when the sounds of pleasure set off something inside JAakuna and that's when he started to kiss her neck in a slight aggressive way, teasing her with little nibbles.

When JAakuna kept it going, he heard a laugh. This laugh was beyond creepy, it was beyond any normal tone that he had ever heard. Even more so, he instantly broke away from Emiri and he saw her. The origin of the laugh and the one that made Jaakuna almost growl in anger. "Levi!" JAakuna yelled.

Levi smiled and laughed half-creepily, half-seductively. "Oh don't mind me, do continue." She said as her arms made gestures to Emiri and shirtless Jaakuna.

JAakuna's anger now was at the highest. "How long have you been here?" Jaakuna asked her.

"Oh, long enough to see how much of a sex addict you are." She said to Jaakuna, smiling in a seductive way.

When they went through the Waystone, the group would be inside Giruvegan. It was as Wesley remembered it to be. The mist was at an all-time high and the monsters were on an all-time annoyance. Yup, they were still as ugly as they were the last time around. "Well, ain't this a joy?" Savayna annoyingly said, She disliked Giruvegan, but she knew that they had to be here. At the very least, they could get inside the Great Crystal. At least that was a more aesthetically-pleasing place to look at from the inside.

"Oh, come on now, Savayna. Where's your sense of adventure?" Wesley said smiling.

"Oh suck it, Wesley." Savayna retorted, sticking her tongue out to him.

Wesley chuckled and would look ahead to see Nadeline take out her rapier and lead the charge. He smiled and would take out his Sword of Order. Savayna would follow stead and take out her Ice Queen sword and just hope that they don't run into any unwelcomed surprises.

Jaakuan felt her touch as her free hand would come to his cheek and her body closer to his. They just stared at each other. The moment felt like forever and then, with a movement of her lips, she kissed him. It wasn't like they haven't done it before. Both of them have done much more than simply kissing, but this time around was different. For some reason, the kiss felt like the first time that they kissed and how it felt. Jaakuna could feel that his heart was starting to beat slightly faster. Each second that went on, he found himself being lost in the translation of how beautiful she was. It was by then that he closed his eyes, wrapped his arms around her waist,and would embrace her, bringing their bodies closer to each other.

---

It was like Savayna's words brought the entire group down. Well, a majority of the group. Nadeline was the only one that seemed to retain the positive attitude. More on that point, she was the only one that went to the gate. She would inspect it and others couldn't help but watch as she would place her hands on the gate. Widened eyes no doubt too over as she would, completely at the shock of the others, attempt to open it. About a minute, maybe less, passed on, Nadeline's incredible strength — or whatever you want to call it — took over, the gate would open and it would do so on Nadeline's physical prowess alone.

"Umm..." That's all Savayna had to say. She was completely speechless.

"You heard her. We walk in." Wesley said, echoing NAdeline and followed her lead.

Savayna just looked to Grant who also was just as shocked and speechless as she was. [/b]"What the fuck was that?"[/b] She slightly mumbled to Grant.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

Jaakuna was just lost in his own thought, not even paying attention to Emiri. The one thing that took him out of his deep thought was the touch of her hand to his as she would bring his hand to her cheek. He instantly shook his head and looked at her and smiled. She would state that she remembered most was him. Jaakuna liked hearing that. He knew that despite her memory being gone, it was the love that they shared for one another that kept Emiri as herself, even if on the slightest bit.

“You don’t know how happy that makes me to hear you say that.” Jaakuna said gently smiling at Emiri.

---

As the trek through the snow went on, the group would come to the Gate of the Ancient Capital, Giruvegan. They each would look and stare at the gate, well at least most of them did. Wesley couldn’t help but notice that Nadeline had a new-found enthusiasm about her. He had an idea of where it came from, but it was still very much welcomed. After the day that they have had, he didn’t think she would have anything positive about her, but there she was, brimming with a moderately positive glow.

Looking at the gate, Savayna definitely was having flashbacks to when they were here last and that wasn’t including most of The Great Crystal. This time around, they would be going all the way in and around The Great Crystal, which Savayna was nervous about. Still, she would just face it head on with her friends and her bae. “So, um, how do we get past the gate? Jaakuna’s not here to have Belias open it.” Savayna said stating the obvious.

I know it took me forever, but I finally finished~

Name: Cerden Celebrindal
Age: 45
Gender: Male

Personality:
While in the empire, Cerden was that kind of guy that always was about the mission and he didn't care what it took to get the job done, as long the mission was completed. In some aspects, Cerden was down-right brutal and above all else, he was completely loyal to the empire. He obeyed every order that The Emperor gave to him, even the ones that caused near genocide to some races. Cerden took it without questioning The Emperor's motives. He was a loyal general, and when something really horrific happened, Cerden's outlook on the empire began to dwindle. His loyalty became faltered and everything that made him who he was began to shift. Cerden questioned everything, but just the little stuff at first, but then that's when his humanity began to surface. He began to show compassion to those wronged and destroyed by the empire. Soon, Cerden began to be sympathetic to the so-called enemies of the empire.

When he defected from the Empire and betrayed his brother, Cerden began to adapt a certain front to himself that slowly went from being aware of the empire's evil ways to doing all that he could to stop them. Of course, his traits of being completely loyal to a cause somewhat dwindled. He now has become more relaxed and easy-going as compared to the past. Some might even say that Cerden has gone into such a way that he is quite lazy. Those people are right, though. He presents himself in a relaxed-like manner. Though, that's only cause the last ten years have taught him that life was short and that being super-serious all the time ruins one's complexion and outlook on life. Speaking of which, his has changed as he tries to enjoy himself more. Still, he will turn his fighting mode on should the situation call for it.

When one gets past that all, Cerden is driven by what he must fix. He betrayed his brother and he feels now that he must fix it. This has caused a certain edge to Cerden to be clouded underneath his relaxed and almost lazy-like mannerisms. Underneath that all, he is focused beyond belief, so don't let his near-unmotivated front confuse ya.

Appearance:

Cerden

Cerden has a rather tall frame. His height borders almost seventy-seven inches, which averages around six feet and five inches. His weight matches his height perfectly and it comes at just over two-hundred-and-fifty pounds. Or if someone is going by the kilogram system, it’s just past one-hundred-and-ten kilograms. With that in mind, it should be no surprise that Cerden’s build is definitely muscular, but it’s nowhere near the level of being bulky. Some might even say that his build represents that of an top-notch athlete or something of the like.

Cerden’s non-build features are as to be expected. His skin tone is definitely human and it’s of a creamy mocha color. Of course, his age shows as his skin shows aging, but for his age, it seems to be on a rather attractive note. His eyes are piercing red, showing the feeling of seriousness and a huge undertone of relaxed. His hair is around shoulder-length, to which he keeps flowing straight. His hair is of silver and white shade. It’s hard to tell the difference between the two, though.

Cerden’s attire isn’t really anything to out of the ordinary. Actually, it’s quite simple when one really thinks about it. He wears a matching longcoat and pants along with boots and gloves all black and grey throughout. Each are tied down by several belt-like materials of dark brown color. Underneath it all, however, he has lines that seem random go all around his body, his lower half, upper half, face — everywhere has these lines connecting and making new lines.

Faction:

A former general of The Empire, now a neutral party. He will sometimes take part in what the Unbound Hearts are doing, but for the most part, Cerden is a guy who is neutral and only after one thing: His brother, Nomis.

Weapon:

Brother's Requiem - For weapon image, see character appearance.
Once belonging to his father and forged with magic-infused titanium, Cerden's two weapons take the form of a normal-sized sword and a short sword/long dagger. Both are identical to each other in every way and they appear to be two halves of the same weapon. The obvious difference is that one is shorter than the other. Still, that doesn't disprove the fact that they seem like to be two halves of the same thing. Cerden carries — and uses both — with great pride. It's the one thing that he can smile happily about his memories of his late father.

Powers/Abilities:

Glass Manipulation

Much like his adopted brother, Nomis, who can manipulate a special kind of metal called Taint, Cerden can manipulate glass. Some call it just a sub-power of Sand Manipulation or Earth Manipulation. Those people are correct, but Cerden can bypass the traditional means of creating glass through hardening sand. He can create glass from his own magic. He can manipulate pre-existing glass and expand it to whatever he desires. Cerden has also been known to multiply the amount of glass that he can create or manipulate. He’s even shown to be able to create constructs of glass or surround it around his weapons or even his body, which he refers to as Glass Armor. Cerden can also move the glass with his mind and even shape it to which he can ride it as if like air or water. He can also breakdown glass into shards and guide them where he desires it to go.

Cerden’s skill with Glass has been acclaimed by not only his brother, but his associates that they dare not anger him cause the amount of usage and the potency of it is all tied to his emotional state. If in a good mood, his powers are more stable and he is in control of how much goes into one attack. However, if his mood is anything but that, then all hell breaks loose. His glass becomes rough-around-the-edges, which is not a good thing considering that rough glass cuts through solid materials like it’s butter and it doesn’t leave a clean aftermath either. Usually, shit will get real bloody real fast.

Due to an accident that happened when Cerden and Nomis were in their youth, the latter brother's Taint MEtal worked its way into the influence of Cerden's Glass, which started to slowly affect the maximum potency of his glass manipulation power. At least, the way he's able to use it. Though, Cerden is not aware of this fact. As far as Cerden knows, he doesn't have full-mastery of his power. Of course, that is not the case.

Expert Tactician and Strategist

Due to his long stint in The Empire, Cerden has shown that he is able to plan ahead of his opponents, which was one of the main reasons that The Empire first got him. Of course, it was cause of what he did with his brother, Nomis, but that’s irrelevant to this specific skill of his. He’s also been very aware of what his opponent would do before they would do it and be able to come up with complex plans that would more or less ensure his victory. He can also adapt to almost every situation in the event that the original plan he set in motion doesn’t go as had set it to be.

During his time with The Empire, it was being this good at coming up with plans that he was no doubt one of their top generals, just because he had such prowess of coming up with full-proof plans. It might even be why he has a big bounty on his head cause he was such a big asset to The Empire. While that’s true, anyone he aligns himself with knows his face and they know of his abilities in this area.

Supernatural Condition

Some say that Cerden’s feats of physical prowess stems from his foster father experimenting on him or just a natural gift that he’s had since birth. Some say that he came into contact with supernatural forces somewhere down the road. Whatever it might be, it all comes to the very fact that Cerden’s physical prowess is unlike that of any normal human being or anything. His body has been forged to exceed human limits and as such, every ounce of strength, endurance, and other such things are at a level that is, quite literally, supernatural and unheard of. The range of his supernatural feats can go form being able to react faster to almost anything to being able to last longer in a fight than most. It even goes into how he fights with weapons, specifically bladed weapons. Just about everyone one can imagine that has been upgraded to the supernatural level, odds are it is.

Strong Alignment to Earth Magic

Possibly due to his Glass Manipulation power or just his overall connection to the earth, but Cerden has proven capable with Earth Magic and/or manipulating the earth with his magic. Though he seems to be not as well versed in this type as he is in Glass Manipulation, it’s still pretty high up there and he uses it quite often in battle.

Healing Magic

More of a necessity for Cerden. Since he has been on the run from The Empire, he had to learn how to heal his injuries that of which his supernatural body could not. As such, he took up healing magic. He isn’t able to heal wounds that would put him on death’s door, but he is able to use it to such a length that allows him to be out of harms way.

Bio:

Haunted by a dark past and grave mistakes he has made, Cerden tries as much as he can to fix them, which has sent him on a quest to undo said mistakes. To do that, he will have to find the one person he must fix even if it costs him his life.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

As they would leave, Jaakuna smiled at them as the light from the Beaming Station would transport them away. Emiri would then look to him and say that the wreath was working. Jaakuna was so happy to hear that. He wanted to hug her right then and there, but she would go on and say that, little by little, her memories were coming back. Emiri then began to list off the memories that were coming back. First she mentioned her father and mother hopefully the good memories of your mom.. Then she said about her engagement to Grant. Yeah, those weren't fun times.. Emiri then said about how she ran away and the hardships as a hunter that came from it. She would pause, but then would state that she was also remembering how they met and made a comment about how funny fate was.

Jaakuna looked at her smiling. "I'm happy that your memories are coming back." Jaakuna told her. "It seems like a world ago when we first met. You were different, I was different. Just everything was so different." Jaakuna said laughing lightly.

Jaakuna found himself reminiscing about the past and just how everything changed when he met Emiri and by extension, Nadeline and Grant. Though, the first time that he met Nadeline wasn't a good experience, Grant either. Hell, even meeting Wesley for the first time wasn't a good experience. Reuniting with Savayna was not a fun experience for him at the time. Jaakuna was in such deep thought that he had the most serious expression on his face and he was silent for about three minutes, not even noticing that Emiri was right next to him.

---

As they waved bye to Emiri and Jaakuna for the time being, the group touched ground and from where they were, it was only twenty miles away from Giruvegan's gate. "I guess we should not waste any time." Wesley said to the group.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

As the ten minutes would come to an end, the group would all head to the Beaming Station, with Emiri and Jaakuna seeing them off. Wesley knew that this trip to Giruvegan would be a bit more difficult than the last trip. Granted, the last trip wasn’t easy since Jaakuna was hearing voices then. This time around, it would be just as difficult as they were going to venture into The Great Crystal, which according to the various rumors, was like an endless maze to those who did not know how to navigate. Considering that no one has lived to tell the tale of coming from Giruvegan, it just made going into it all the more dangerous.

“Well, I guess we’re going now.” Wesley said as he patted his sword and made sure it was secure.

Savayna smiled. “Make sure to hold down the fort.” She said to Jaakuna smirking.

Jaakuna smirked back. “You better make it back in one piece. I’d hate to have to get rid of all your dresses.” Jaakuna joked, but probably a bad one.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

When Grant explained how exactly the events led up to Emiri losing her memory, she would just look at him. She would not say anything. All Savayna would do was listen and let him finish. She really didn’t know what to say to it. Sure, she could make some snarky remark or just something that was funny, but she didn’t. Savayna just looked at him as she clearly saw a distraught and, well lost Grant. She saw that he truly felt like it was his fault that he couldn‘t convince her to stay on the Ifrit, that he lost her in the sandstorm, and that she was forced to use her powers, which led to her esper, Chaos, to wipe her slate clean.

Savayna, not even saying a single word, walked into Grant’s personal space, and she hugged him. She would wrap her arms around him, and rest her head on her chest. “It’s okay. “ That’s all she said. She just wanted to let her actions speak louder than her words.
