(Yeah.. he was meant to act like that. A complete drab compared to Jeiel.)



Le’ ej’ s enraged influence to the atmosphere of the room was cut short by Nexus. As the Titan stated the clear facts of Oz under fire, there was a loss of words from everyone. Jeiel and the Queens’ fell quiet the most as despair gripped them the hardest.



Le'ej wasn't bewildered by Nexus' explanation. Rather, he gave him a tepid look and pointed beyond.

“ Ever since you entered this palace, Titan, all the inhabitants of Oz have been properly kept within this place. No natural disaster had struck my city and none of those you see outside will.” Le’ ej glowered at the individual. “ But yes. The acts of your brother brought to an earlier death prior to the evacuation. Thus, casualties remain, as of every war fought in the past and the present.”



Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej composes himself. A changed expression told him he had acted out of line, and he had to restrain himself.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ If there is to be a plan.. it is that HE and the Queens remain here while you prepare.<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” He instructs coldly. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ HE (points to Jeiel) is free to strategize the retaking of Oz here in the room. But I will not allow him, or the Queens to leave Obsidian 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"">“ And you. Large Mouse named Micah.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” He speaks to her with an even louder voice. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ It is not that simple. The mirrors reveal truths, and not outcomes. You decide your course of action. That will be all.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">At a motion of his fingers, the broken table is restored to its original form. He prepares to leave<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">–

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">-- but stops short at Jeiel pulling his cape. He is suddenly jerked backward. The King's grasp held him in place. The Mavens are upon their feet in protest.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">But they see Jeiel wasn't meaning harm.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">"Why?"

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Le'ej knew exactly what the man sought answers for.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">There was a trailing look of wonder from Vasti as he raised a haughty eyebrow at Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej. The King of Obsidian City glared at him and yanking his cape off Jeiel's grip, he retracts several steps and addresses them all.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ I was born a mirror.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">He reverted to Jeiel, gazing at him with a scornful glow on his eyes. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">“ Obsidian City exists under the light of a certain law: all individuals that live in Emerald City will undoubtedly, create a reversed identity in the Land Behind The Mirrors. I came to be.. when you became the new king of Emerald Palace. And the Mavens<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">…. are the parallel to the Paths. Your Queens.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Towards the Queens of Oz, he casted a mournful stare.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ When I was born, I imagined that.. I exist only to fulfill what Obsidian City intends me to do. But with the Mavens<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">…. I find purpose. Life. Something that I thought a mirror like me shouldn<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’ t have.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">"And like you, my wives are the most precious jewels. They outshine the ornaments, the brilliance of material wealth. They are my world."

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">The Mavens are silent.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Le'ej nears the blinded Jeiel, neither dropping his anger nor looking away. His attention was upon him.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ I will not risk your death. Nor the death of any of your Queens. If you die, I die, and the Mavens will lose a husband they hold dear. If your women perish, so will the Mavens. Their life is more important than my own, and I will not stand to leave them sorrowful or see them disappear before my very eyes.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">The Mavens grab for his shoulders as if to peel him away from causing a scene. Hearing Repter<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s words, he turns towards the man. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ If I had known that<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">… .. then I would have not brought you all here to bring about Obsidian City<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s ruin.<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">” He declares sarcastically.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Cybele grabs for Baph-chan<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s hands and squeezes it firmly. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ It<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ll be fine.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">” She pats Isaac<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ s head. <span style="font-family: "TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Jeiel knows how he can be reckless. And you know what they say. People who are stubborn to their beliefs always die last. Like my husband over there<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">…”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">She shakes slightly. Drac-chan could feel her pulling back her tears<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">…

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Ersha answers for Spiga. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ That man saved us from Oz becoming a waterworld. And now, he won<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t let us go because<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… if Honey and us girls die.. then he and his Mavens will too.<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"">“ How can you be sure that that<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ll happen??<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">’ Ersha voices out, surprising most of the allies in her sudden call. Jeiel looks to her direction, then to where he was hearing Le<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ ej. The Obsidian King swerved to her and replied.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ Your Oblation lost her arm, had she not?<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">Lin Ai covers her armless right in defense.

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

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">The Blaster steps forward <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">– and then they notice. There was a perfect amputation on her left am, the same as Lins<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 am not prepared to demonstrate to you that truth.<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 steps back. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">“ If you must excuse me. I have matters that need my attention. Prepare your plans. Make your decisions. But Jeiel<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… and his wives will stay here.<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">At that, he and the Mavens move past the wall, phasing through as if it weren<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">’ t a wall but a hanging veil of water. The Houri bows in apology to Ayu and goes off as well.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">"....and if you will leave, you'll find yourselves dragged back here...."

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Leaving Jeiel and the rest in their seats.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Jeiel: (sighs) Right. (Shakes head)

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">(Turns, with the wives still comforting him ) Guys<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family:"DroidSans"">… are you<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">… still with me?

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><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"">On another end.... the battle of Xena and Polly had... ended?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-ascii-font-family: "DroidSans"">The Ultimasaur had laid waste on the entire field. There was not a single piece left in place, as everything was in complete disarray. And in the midst of wreckage... Xena was there, hands circled around the throat of the Polyp Queen, her weapon bent and her armor broken down.

<p class="MsoNormal">"You're a fine warrior.... such suited for your husband...." she uttered weakly... (Go LOS.)
