Chapter 15: Telepathy
Fast forward six days. The six have been united and have made a long trek through the forests and cliffs of Drakos, as they finally arrive at the forest in front of the Sanctuary.
Alicia: "Are we not being followed?"
Troy does a quick scope of the area.
Troy: "We seem good!"
Jake: "Watch this Jay."
The five step through an invisible wall.
Jay: "(in head) Please don't be watching..."
As Jay steps through...
Drake: "(excited) Perfect!"
Lucifer: "(laughing) Seems as though Jay had given us more than we bargained for."
Drake analyzes a map hanging on a wall.
Drake: "All troops! Head to this forest directly south of Makna! Take the blood of the dragon gods!"
Drake stands in front of his army of 1000 men.
Lucifer: "Even a few drops of each will do."
Back at the Sanctuary...
Jay: "Roomy."
Alicia: "We're back mom!"
Onyx enters in her human form and hugs her daughter.
Onyx: "Thank god you're alright!"
Alicia: "(choking) You're strangling me..."
Troy: "That trip was awesome!"
Flare rushes in and does the same to Troy.
Jade: "Uh..."
Jason: "This is... interesting."
Nova rushes in dragons form and switches to human as Jason falls to the ground.
Jake: "(in head) I'm so glad for once in my life my mom isn't here."
Jay: "Not quite the reunion I expected. (in head) But I still need a way to tell them!"
Jade: "My mom would've been laughing if she saw me now."
The hugging stops...
Onyx: "So you're Jay Kros, descendant of the Mind in Rolil."
Jay picks up a dagger with his mind.
Jay: "Yeah."
Troy: "So that's your power?"
Jay: "(sighing) Don't even asked about my fatality rate."
Nova: "Seems as though he... isn't afraid to take lives."
Jay: "Hey, bounty hunters need to do what's necessary for a pay."
Jake: "Now if you'll excuse me..."
Jake walks over to the makeshift kitchen.
Jake: "Do you mind lending a hand Jason?"
Jason stands up from the floor.
Jason: "(stretching) Give me a sec."
Alicia shakily stands up.
Alicia: "L-Let's let them have at it."
Jay walks outside...
Jay: "(in head) Drake could be having an army after this place right now! Dammit! And if I told them or said I'll be in Phiam, I could be dead!"
Jade finds Jay punching a wall.
Jade: "Why the hell are you punching a wall?"
Jay: "(in head) What the hell am I going to say?!"
Jay calms down a bit.
Jay: "(sighing) Just annoyed with our situation. We have no idea who Lucifer plans to find and or kill us."
Jade: "(smirking) I have an idea."
In Makna Palace...
Lucifer: "Laven may have figured us out."
Drake: "I could kill Kros now, but my men are nearly there. I'll spare him if he manages to survive."
Lucifer grabs his chest.
Lucifer: "(in pain) What's his blood trying to tell me?"
Drake: "Kros's blood is trying to tell you something?!"
Lucifer: "It can't be good."
An hour later...
Jason: "(smiling) Go all out! I'll join in a bit."
Jake: "(wiping away sweat) I'm going to cool off a bit first, you guys go a head and eat."
Jake and Jason walk outside as Jake readies his sword and sees Jay sitting in a tree.
Jake: "Strange to see you not flock to my cooking."
Jay: "I'll join when you join."
Jake sits beneath the tree.
Jason: "You alright?"
Jake: "I know there's something you aren't telling us."
Jay: "(in head) I want to, but I can't."
Jake: "This feels like when we met at Osar, huh?"
Jay begins to sweat a little.
Jay: "(in head) I have to tell them..."
Jay's eyes begin to glow.
Jay: "(in head) I have to..."
Jason notices Jay's eyes.
Jason: "Jay, why are your eyes glowing?"
Jay: "(in head) Drake is the bastard with Lucifer!"
Jake and Jason hear Jay say this, even though Jay's lips didn't move.
Jake: "(shocked) Did you say something Jay?!"
Jay: "(in head) I'm not saying anything! I'm thinking it!"
Jake: "(in head) How?!"
Jay: "(in head) Listen guys, Emperor Drake injected some weird substance that allows him to see and hear me, and can kill me if I do anything unwanted."
Jake: "(in head) Drake is with Lucifer?!"
Jay: "(in head) I couldn't say anything or risk being a corpse in Makna. I need to use this to warn everyone, but we may need to be prepared for combat."
Jake: "(in head) It feels weird to talk without a single mouth opening."
Jason: "(in head) You go inside and tell everyone, we'll go scout for troops."
Jay: "(in head) I just can't help, but think if I wasn't acting like a badass this wouldn't happen."
Jake and Jason return from a quick scout of the area.
Jason: "(in head) We have 1000 Maknanian troops heading right here!"
Jake: "(in head) Drake must be intelligent if he was able to track you and pinpoint the precise area!"
Jay casually walks inside.
Jay: "(in head) Guys!"
The cheerful mood fades away.
Jade: "Jay, did you say something?"
Jay: "(in head) Listen, Maknanian soldiers are coming this way."
Alicia: "How the hell are you talking without opening your mouth?"
In Makna Palace...
Drake: "W-What?!"
Lucifer: "So the blood was warning me about this ability."
Drake: "(calmly) I was hoping for a surprise attack, but Kros just had to ruin it!"
Lucifer: "This does tell me that there is more power within the blood than shown..."
Jay: "(in head) It's my fault and I literally just unlocked this ability. A special poison was injected into me that kept me quiet, and let Drake see and hear me."
Onyx: "(in head) The substance must've been from Koress."
Nova: "(in head) Our home is compromised!"
Troy: "(in head) How many of these bastards?!"
Jay: "(in head) 1000 according to Jake and Jason."
Flare: "(in head) We'll hide somewhere safe while you fend them off!"
Jay: "(in head) Just whatever you do, don't let them have a drop of your blood."
Alicia: "So the six of us holding off 1000 soldiers, this'll be interesting."
Jade: "(serious) Now that Drake's the target, we'll kill that bastard after we deal with these amateurs!"
Troy, Jade, Jay, and Alicia rush outside as Nova, Onyx, and Flare rush out a secret back door.
