Cody Bloodstein and Jasmine Lockwood
After doing what had to be done for the burial with Penny, Jasmine was silent as they returned to the hotel once more. After bidding Penny a good night she returned to the room which she had been
freeloading sharing with Cody. Cody wasn't back as what seemed to be the norm even though she had only known him a few days.
She crawled into bed and eventually fell to sleep shortly before Cody, himself feeling exhausted after the events of the day, returned and soon collapsed and tried to fall asleep in his own bed.
However that night he barely slept a wink as his dreams were filled of the nightmarish memories of his foster family being burnt alive in their mansion at the hands of Shadow Heart. However that same, mysterious ancient sounding voice seemed to echo throughout these memories as well. Offering him power and whatnot, you know the usual evil spirit nonsense like mocking his 'incompetence' while dragging up the memories of the last few days. At least that's what Cody thinks it was saying. Once again he wasn't sure how he understood this voice, but he just....seemed to be able to understand it.
Eventually it was morning and Cody reluctantly dragged his tired ass out of bed. There was no point in staying in bed all day, especially if he was just going to have more nightmares. And he wasn't too sure how to view this voice in his head.
Despite how much he wanted to gain power to protect those he cared about...something about the voice was off putting. There was a nagging thought in the back of his mind about this voice which he couldn't quite focus on, maybe because he was too tired to.
Perhaps he should speak with James about this? No. Cody was sure it was nothing, just his own doubts and subconscious trying to get to him again. No need to bother James with this issue that Cody needed to sort out himself.
Having now completed his breakfast Cody decided to watch the last day of the games with the rest of the guild. He needed something to get his mind off the events of the previous few days and this was just what the doctor ordered.
Upon reaching the arena he decided to seek out the two wizards he knew the most; James and Amaya. He would feel more comfortable around one of those two so whichever one he ran into first would suffice for him. Of course it wasn't that difficult to find Amaya since she was one of only two people with a flying, talking cat. Cody did learn however that Nolan guy had one too, so the more you know. So with that in mind he decided to go find Amaya first. He was sure James would find him anyway, the guy had some form of tracking device or something implanted on Cody.
"You look like a bigger mess than me. Everything alright?" Cody tried to sound playful but his loud yawn which followed sorta ruined any attempt of that. Not that talking with people was a strong point of his anyway.
However he was
totally, 100% completely and utterly worried about Amaya. While she still took Cody's breath away with one glance, there was an obvious exhaustion to her.
