"The Pale Lady has been freaking out about it for a while apparently." He was not about to divulge more... that would involve telling this man about the sphere's abilities he held, and he was not ready for that. More trust was needed. "I am aware of -a- threat. Given I fought a fucking giant...

Ok, so far so good. That part was definitely believable given what he had learned in the past months. No gloating or asking for surrender yet. James frowned down at the screen again. That sounded all too familiar. A prophecy he already knew about that loomed over his head. One that all he had...

The man on the other side of the screen certainly looked different than most of the people in the universe. Maybe he was like wolf girl? Or the fish girl he happened to miss when he ran from the palace. That was the one thing he regretted. Whoever he was seemed excited to see him though... and...

The girls both needed time and space. Both had just lost someone they loved and found themselves alone in a way. He had been through it before, losing both of his biological parents and almost losing his sister. It left a void that could not be filled or healed, only adjusted to. He had no right...

"Unfortunately... But hey! It led to a giant crab and new friends..." His smile slipped for a moment, the mask threatened to fall. A slight downcast to the corners of his lips, eyes downcast, head tilted slightly to the ground. Just as quickly as his expression waivered, he blinked rapidly, the...

Sedna remained silent, the Gaddess still. Her mind couldn't quite grasp what had just happened. Being caught? She could see that happening. He had that sphere after all. It made trying to get the drop on him hard and besting him verbally when they got in arguments even harder. But...

It was a good thing Jo quickly specified what she meant. James had absolutely no desire to go on about the boring theology stuff that would inevitibly lead to rambling about the less boring reality stuff that he was PRETTY sure was still state secrets. "End of the world type stuff. You'd think...

James chuckled at Jo, "Yeah, Merida constantly reminds me. She's scary but she keeps you honest." James cocked his head to the side, tapping his chin in thought as Jo went on about her check ins. "I honestly haven't given ANY of the other spheres consideration beyond Adrian's... It didn't really...

Dimensional quakes made her scales twitch, like feeling a predator stalking in a kelp field. She was a brave soul, but not foolish. Anything could pop out from these quakes, and she was not keen on being caught off guard. The Gaddess abandoned the portion of crab it was working on freezing and...

James hopped up to approach the two girls as Johana was passing off the crystal. He did not let her get far before pulling both of them into a tight hug. He'd definitely get punched in the balls if he tried that to comfort Merida. "Screw them if they don't like her. Weis saved our asses and she...

James moved from between the two, not wanting caught up in any wrath. Tiny people were suprisingly capable of holding a LOT of anger for their size. Or maybe that was just Merida and he was projecting. Women were terrifying but short women more so. It was best to give them space... Until she...

Merida took a tissue and shook her head. "I'm fine," A clear lie. "I can hang on until we're back home. It's not the first time I've had to bury grief." She wiped her eyes and blew her nose, "Big one to threaten to hit with, smaller one to chuck. Smaller one is easier to aim without the shape...

Merida let her go to let her stand, then hugged her again. They both needed it. More so, now that she knew they were acquainted. "For now... but knowing what I do it's not over with that rat faced bastard." Anger seeped into her voice. "She sacrificed herself to save us... If he didn't have-"...

Merida knew that look on the girls face, even without knowing her. The loss of a loved sibling bit deeper than the two remaining pilots could ever comprehend. She imagined that look on her own face, back when Adrian was in critical condition and she had lost all hope trying to stay strong for...

Sedna had kept her distance from the events with this... massive crab. Crabs were the insects of the oceans, annoying to deal with, and some proved fatal to her people. They did not eat the bottom feeders, though they made good meat for the fish they did farm. And thus she had had little...

Genion's screens flickered on once again, displaying a different scene than James remembered. Zest loomed over Genion and behind them... a smoking crater, flecked with charred debris. His heart sank, eyes following the web of cracks along their face. The Genion raised a hand to gently caress...

James stared, frozen by the scene unfolding before him in slow motion. The Shurouga at the Giant's back, blade plunged into their back. The Zest turned to fight back. This bastard had disguised himself as Gunleon- as Adrian- and lured them into a sense of security. He could do nothing, frozen...

Genion plunged her hand deep into the monstrosity and pulled out the heart of the beast. Verdant energy shined through the slimey streaks of clouded, yellow stkreaed mucosal blood. James flinched at the sight, a shudder ran down his spine. Thank the pale lady he did NOT have to smell this. The...

The sphere called to him. It was there, before him, ripples cascading from it's epicenter in discordant waves. He did not notice the silence broken around him, the death of the Pontiff, there was only one thing on his mind now. If he could pull that sphere loose, this monster would lose all...

"Brace for impact!" Vertalis anchored himself in his seat just in time for the first blow to the Resolution. He rode the turbulence out, grimacing at each new pained screech of metal. He was one of the lucky few to be prepared for it, he couldn't imagine how bad it had to be in the halls or down...
