Isaac was there. Resting on a plaited bed that was just his size and fixed neatly for him, there were tubes connected to his wrist. Black fluid coursed inside the tubes and directly into the boy. Watching him were the Kobold and the Blaster from before, their gazes fixated at the bedridden individual.



The motherly-looking Holstaur crept from behind Baph-chan and rubs her hand smoothly across her head.

“ Don’ t bother them too much, Heiki.”

The Holstaur nods and makes a whiny sound of embarrassment, seeing as she thought she might have offended the Baphomet.





Le’ ej simply stares at the weakened form of Isaac.

“ As long as you are able to do something to clarify your mistakes…” He places his hand on her – and directs her to facing Isaac. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Then your duty is not done. You are yet to fail anything. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">The question catches Jeiel off-guard.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ I<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ m alright, Repter, but what did you just <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">“

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

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ WHAT ARE you-??<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">The Inari Ayu lost control of herself<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">– and went straight for Jeiel, bearing a scaled sword with the symbol of the Fish Queen. The Queens of Oz prepared to pin her down <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">–

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">---but in an instant, the Dark Elf who has simply watching leaped into the fray and knocked the Inari into submission. She forced the Mamono<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’ s vacant arm behind and disarmed her. A razorlike blade was upon her free hand.

<p class="MsoNormal">

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

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

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Your blade. It is not necessary.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej said as-a-matter-of-fact-wise. He wasn<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t moving an inch from where he sat. But<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">… his very words rang with power.

<p class="MsoNormal">At once, Thelma the Dark Elf removed her blade from sight and threw her into Repter<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s arms. The HolstaurHeiki was still poised to attack. Ayu wasn<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t moving, but she was trembling in unknown energy that seemed to possess her. Jeiel grunted towards Repter, catching his attention.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Repter<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… do what you have to do. If you think it can help. I still can<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t directly ascertain the true reason as to why she was recruited into the Fish Queen<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’ s army, but if you can find information further than what Vega had tried to pry upon, do it.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">There was a hand that pushed Micah<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s rifle down. It was from the Hobgoblin named Adelle. She merely smiled at them, as if to say <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">‘ It<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s been handled with. Don<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t worry.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Has your friend recovered?<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” Elloise the Weresheep inquired, looking at the groaning Kenzie. <span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Your parts need to be reconfigured, if I<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ m not mistaken.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Sebyl and Jeiel stare, wide-eyed at Nexus.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“… I see. So Vega sacrificed himself for us? <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">“ There was an expression in Jeiel<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s face that seemed like he would cry. He could not. What he held was bitterness at his state. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">“ Thank you, then. For joining us in this battle, Nexus.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” He raises a hand to him. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ I promise you..there won<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t be any other losses on our side after this.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">Sebyl bows. On the back of her head<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… there was something that confused her. Jeiel mentioned Circe<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">…. and there was an unknown voice that stopped her argument with Nunnally<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">….

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">She could not understand. And..she had to know what was going on.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">From inside Jeiel<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s head, Circe spoke.

<p class="MsoNormal">Danna-sama<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… are we to tell everyone that..

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel: (responding in a very low voice) Not now.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">(Hey, Spazerz? You said your character<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s a son of a Titan right?)

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">……. Of course. As of present<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… he is YOUR steward.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">The FishQueen rose to her feet. As soon as the bloodthirsty aura of the Reptile King engulfed the area, all fishes and underwater creatures scattered in their outright fear.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ If you are not prepared to hear that this man must survive and pass this ordeal to discover another truth to this, then<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">…. I believe I must show you what I am capable of.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">There was a flash of rapid water that engulfed the Queen. In an instant, she is garbed by her special armor: a chainmail made of undersea shells grafted on top of each other, hosting spikes that were in the vestige of fish spines along the sides of her shoulders and along her arms. Her lower dress is a gown of sheen white material. Two spikes protruded behind her in the fashion of horn coral. Her shelled fan and bident were at once, on both her hands.

<p class="MsoNormal">

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

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">The Polyp Queen, despite her hesitation, donned her armor in the same flash of water. A ghastly pale metal armor that fitted her in the right size. Her shoulder pads seemed to emit blasts of water, and on her head was the same rounded cap that Reptile King had seen her wear multiple times. Her instrument-like weapon appeared in her small hands.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ I<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ m sorry Rep. But I sided with her for a reason.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">” She forced a grin.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Yes. A reason..that must be delivered with PAIN.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">At once, the two Queens made their charge. Towards the single Reptile King.

<p class="MsoNormal">(Okay Rep<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… time out! )

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej was still in his seat as Jeiel and the others finally found the chance to sit properly. The man was still leering at him. Dima, to Sebyl. There was just this aura of anger that didn<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t seem to add up to them.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ If there is nothing else to disrupt us from conversing, then we begin.<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 stands and places a reassuring hand on Dima the Dorome<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s shoulder. His lowered tone of speaking was critical <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">– and at the same time, harsh. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” At your current standing, you cannot regain a single land in Oz. It is now, under the domain of Lyonesse Lemur. All the Lemurians have overrun the streets, the nooks and crannies and passages that you can think of infiltrating. Your single means of reinforcement is behind the clouds, hidden from sight <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">– and there is no sign of the being known as Reptile King.<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel is silent. The facts he stated were undeniably true.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Also, your traitorous<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">…”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ She is NOT a traitor.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">That was the first word that he spoke against Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej. And the ruler of Obsidian City glared upon him from his distance.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ And I thought she had also muted your capacity to speak defiantly.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” He eyed all of the allies with a painful look on his face. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ You rushed in this plan and failed<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… because there was no plan at all. Am I not right?<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"">“ Tell me, JinkoSpiga. Was there a definite plan that you all were truly keen on accomplishing?<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” He shot off towards the Mamono now caring for the recuperating Kenzie. Cybele was quick to reply, angered at Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s way of berating her husband.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ That<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s not<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"">“ No.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” Jeiel raises his head.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ He<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… speaking the truth.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”
