(Nice to see you guys are going for the current state of your characters. Alright, crunch time! As you can see, Jeiel and Le’ ej have a somewhat strained relationship. You’ ll understand after reading soon. :D)







Heiki stares at the group of Mamono over at Isaac. Her eyes soften and her hands squeeze in a ball on her apron. There was a pang of anxiety on her that seemed unnatural. The Maven Thelma, the Dark Elf, shoots her a look of sternness. “ Heiki. Collect yourself. If you have nothing else to do, feel free to go to the back room.”



The Holstaur bows solemnly and leaves at once. Cybele walks up to the three Mamonos and checks the bedridden mercenary. “ How is he?”



Elloise stands up after Kenzie expresses her plans and passes her hand on her head. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ If you say so.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” She leaves and stands beside the other Mavens. Meanwhile, as Spiga finally wakes up and realizes her situation, her alarmed reaction is heard by Jeiel.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ That was Spiga?<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” He asks Lailani. The Slime Carrier answers an abrupt yes. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ She found herself in a displeasing situation, Papa.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”“ Oh.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” Jeiel smiles, even though he isn<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t sure on where to look. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ It<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s alright, Spiga. Glad to see you<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ re up.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">The Queens hear Repter and Ayu<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s plans and nod in agreement. Their hunches seem to be right on the money.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Wait up, Repter.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” Despite his nearly-lost eyesight, Jeiel was still able to use a commandeering voice to the situation. He joins his hands and pauses in his contemplating. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ I know you have devised a plan already, but some things need clarification for me, and.. I<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’ m not leaving this room until I hear answers.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ejstands straight. Although Jeiel is unable to see, he knows the man was wanting answers from him, the ruler of Obsidian City. He leers at Jeiel, tapping at the table. <span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ What answers do you desire to be given? Be specific.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel starts off. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ From the way that you have saved the inhabitants of Emerald City, the rest of the Ozians we evacuated when Lyonesse Lemur emerged from Sapphire City, and the saving of AtsuneMekatsu and TsunA Sera Sera before they could be executed, I have one thing to say.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” He looks up, his green eyes now cloudy and undiscerning. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ You knew this would happen.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">There was a moment of silence before Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej answered. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ I have.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel : And you say.. the mirrors have told you this as well?

<p class="MsoNormal">Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej : Yes. They have.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel : You knew then, about Ozma<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s betrayal and why she did it?

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej : I can imagine to be answered only by you.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">(Grinding his teeth)

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel : Why is the Fish Queen after Oz?

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej : There can be but two answers. One is that she wishes revenge against Oz for keeping her daughter Ozma from her. Two is that she bears a grudge on the previous ruler for defeating her in their battle 200 years before. That was the battle that she believed, she had lost her daughter. Which, she has now found.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel: T-Then  - she is indeed the Queen<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s child and not  ---?

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej: You ask too much. I will not state what you can discern for yourself.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel: (screams) I CAN<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ T DISCERN THINGS LIKE YOU CAN!!

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">There was a pained aura hanging around Jeiel. The wives hold him to put him at ease. Still, a rage inside him couldn<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t seem to be quelled.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ You..know so many<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">…… and I<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">…. am the man who is always kept into the dark<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">……” He grunts in his frustration.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Aren<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t you?<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” VastimosaAbbrevant says coyly. His grin over Jeiel was in the form of cruel mockery. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ You choose to take the stewardship of Oz willingly for the sake of restoration, yet you seem to forget every place has its depths. Depths that if you don<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t consolidate beforehand,will drag you into despair. Now look what it got you into.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">” He haunches his arm arrogantly.<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Pretty deep sheets you<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’ ve fallen into, huh?<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ VASTI.<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej glares at him. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Alright, alright.Shutting up.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” Vasti scratches his head and stops his lecturing. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">“ You really do stare down on me even though I<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ m supposed to be your superior. I support you, don<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t I?<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ I do not ask for THAT.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej looks away. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">“ You are a nuisance I am forced to handle, and I readily eliminate you if I have the chance.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” He returns his attention to JeielYozama, still raging from inside.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vasti hears the profound explanation from Nexus and stifles a chuckle. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">” Peace and prosperity? You have the dreams of a child. But well..all of you lot have your own plans, I guess. Let that be so. I pray your dream won<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’ t end up unfulfilled, Titan.<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” He stalks off, leaving Nexus with the question of how he knew about him when he never mentioned about himself.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ We knew of Lemur invading before you found them on the move.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej stared at the window facing the underwater Oz. <span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ The mirrors told me of an attack that Oz will be unprepared for. It was to be an assault from one of the 9 Nonareichen, coming from the most unexpected of areas within the realm of magic. Sapphire City.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Sapphire City didn<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t fall. It coordinated with the enemy. Its ruler had consolidated with siding with the Fish Queen. Therefore, when it appeared like they invaded, they were actually being let in, thereby opening Oz in one of the most vulnerable areas of attack..<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">” 

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel turned and simply closed his hands in his restraining emotions. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">“ Aquareine<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">…. The Water Fey<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">…… .. I see. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">“ He shook his head. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ The water folk were a part of this..<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej continued. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ On that event, I had known Oz cannot counter this sudden move against it. In the right manner of circumstance, the Mavens and I activated the realm-scale mirror spell, Ormirorrir to pull all those we could spare and bring them to Obsidian City. But the price for it is that it can only allot the entry of those who are in a heightened state of despair. Simply put..only those who needed to be saved.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej moved away and sided near the Mavens. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">“ That is why the Holstaur, Ozma, the Reptilian King and that Ultimasaur weren<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t brought with us.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ So it is as Ojo-sensei said.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">Sebyl suddenly chipped in, grabbing Jeiel<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s shoulder to prevent herself from moving from where she was. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ You watched and waited and STOOD THERE AS OZ SUNK, THEN, YOU SAVE US? YOU COULD HAVE HELPED US INSTEAD! YOUR CITY IS AN OZIAN CITY, SO WHAT THE GELL IS YOUR SAYING THAT THE WAR OF OZ AND LYONESSE LEMUR ISN<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ T YOUR CONCERN?!?!?<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">(Wait Spazerz, are you talking about Le'ej or Jeiel himself?)

<p class="MsoNormal">Just as Nexus reaches out to him, he swats his hand away.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ It isn<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t my concern<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">… but you all cannot die.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Sebyl: SO WHAT? WE CAN DIE FOR  ALL YOU CARE, AND YOU WON<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ T HAVE TO MULL ON HOW MUCH YOU DESPISE US <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">–

<p class="MsoNormal">Isaac: IF HE DIES <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">– IF YOU AND ALL OF YOU!!
