Chapter 9: Splitting Up
Alicia, Jake, Jade, and Jason arrive at the Sanctuary.
Jake: "(in head) Still missing Jay..."
Jade gets off Alicia's back.
Jade: "(nauseously) I don't feel so-"
Jade throws up all over the ground.
Alicia: "Motion sickness?"
Jade pukes more.
Jade: "Yep."
Jade picks up Jason.
Jade: "Looks like he's out like a light."
The four walk inside.
Jade: "How do you keep a place like this hidden?!"
Alicia: "My mom uses a vacuum to suck out the air, keeping light out and us hidden."
Onyx: "This young lady is this Jade you mentioned Royal?"
Jade: "(startled) Not used to here yet."
Jake: "I'm fine with you all calling me Jake. (in head) I just can't stop thinking about finding Jay..."
Jade sets Jason down.
Alicia: "I almost died from him."
Jade: "Then you should be glad I was with Jason and not Jay. He would've slit his throat or something."
Nova: "Jason..."
Troy: "(walking in) So he's the heir of Nova."
Alicia: "(disappointed) Troy just had to come in and kill the moment."
Jake: "(yawning) I'm about ready to crash."
Jake passes out on the floor.
Jade: "(pissed) Oh god dammit!"
Troy: "(puzzled) Why are you mad?"
Jade: "(angrily) Waking Jake up is the equivalent of pulling all of your hair out at once."
Flare: "It is pretty dark out."
Jade: "When those two wake up tomorrow, I'm letting those two handle breakfast."
Jade lies down on the floor.
Jade: "Guess I can sleep too."
Jade falls asleep.
Alicia: "(sighing) I'll get blankets."
Troy: "(excited) I'll help!"
Troy and Alicia leave the room.
Onyx: "You should've brought him with you when you left."
Flare: "So why didn't you?"
Nova pauses for a moment.
Nova: "I respect his human blood."
Onyx: "You have always been more sympathetic for humans."
Nova: "His father's name is Jonathan Velour, a simple shopkeeper in Makna."
Flare: "You entered humanoid form and had your heir with him."
Onyx: "So your heir's name is Jason?"
Nova: "Jason Velour. Although he appears to have grown up in a more wild lifestyle."
Alicia and Troy return.
Alicia: "Alright let's do this."
As Alicia puts blankets on Jason, Jade, and Jake, Troy takes off their weapons.
Troy: "Need to grab you by the strap, you by however I feel like, and you..."
Troy attempts to pick up Jade's weaponry.
Troy: "(angry) This thing is heavy!"
Alicia: "No way!"
Alicia attempts to help Troy pick up at least one weapon.
Jade: "(drowsy) Here you go."
Jade picks up the weaponry with one hand and drops it.
Alicia: "No wonder why my back hurts!"
Jade goes back to sleep.
Alicia: "I'm going to crash in my own bed!"
Alicia walks to her room.
Onyx: "Night."
Troy goes to his room.
Nova: "I just hope you let me be near Jason for a while.
Onyx and Flare enter humanoid form.
Onyx: "I can see why."
Flare: "Night."
Flare and Onyx go to bed as Nova enters humanoid form.
Nova: "I wish I could've been there."
Nova walks up to Jason.
Nova: "(crying) I can tell he didn't tell you. Why?"
Nova sits down next to Jason.
Nova: "(crying) Why Jonathan?"
Nova goes to bed.
Jason: "(drowsy) Huh?"
Jason looks around to find Jade and some other kid passed out on the floor.
Jason: "(in head) What the hell happened?"
Jason decides to go back asleep.
Next morning...
Jade: "(yawning) Wake up Jake!"
Jake: "(drowsy) Five more minutes mom..."
Jade smacks Jake.
Jade: "You and Jason are in charge of breakfast."
Jake rubs his cheek as he stands.
Jake: "(pissed) Alright alright!"
Jason wakes up from the yelling.
Jason: "(rubbing eyes) What's going on?!
Jason: "Where are we?"
Jake: "The Sanctuary of the dragon goddesses."
Jason: "Who're you?"
Jade: "He's the Jake kid I mentioned."
Jason: "Why are we on sacred ground?"
Jake: "Well, just wait for them to wake up, I am not a morning person. (in head) I just hope we can get along with him."
Jason feels the scale merged with his neck.
Jason: "(shocked) What?!"
Jade: "Calm down, you and Jake are in charge of breakfast."
Jason: "Alright."
The two find a large amount of different varieties of bacon, eggs, and other sorts of food in the back.
Jake: "(in head) Time to whip out my skills. (out loud) I'll get a fire going."
Jake uses his whip form to create plant material for fuel.
Jason: "How the hell did you do that?!"
Jake switches to gauntlet form and creates a bright flame.
Jake: "Like that."
Jason: "(in head) First Jade uses some counter ability, the scale is merged with my neck, and now this Jake is using a form changing weapon. I can't piece it together."
The two harmonize with the way they cook.
Jade: "(walking in) Need any help?"
Jason/ Jake: "(in sync) Nope."
Jade: "(in head) After this I'm searching for Jay."
Thirty minutes later...
Alicia: "(in a trance) What's that smell."
Jake: "Morning."
Jason: "(in head) Who the hell is her?"
Alicia turns to Jason.
Alicia: "You're Jason Velour. I'm Alicia."
Jason: "(in head) Why does she know me? I'm already questioning the fact that I'm sacred ground and the scale merged with my neck and now this?!"
Alicia: "Calm down Jason. I know you're confused on the inside."
Jason: "(calmly) I'm trying to focus on cooking. I'm just nervous about a slight screw up."
Alicia: "That's a bit rude."
Jason: "I've almost never got along with anyone and right now Jake and I are nearly done cooking."
Alicia: "Just what has he gone through?"
An hour later...
Jake: "(relieved) Finished."
Jason: "Looks like we made quite a bit."
Jake: "You'll see why."
Jason: "(puzzled) How so?'
Jake: "Just wait a bit."
Troy: "(yawning) What's cooking?"
Jason: "Food."
Troy: "You're awake."
Jason: "(in head) I hate being kept in the dark. Reminds me of that bastard."
Nova, Onyx, and Flare come out of their rooms.
Onyx: "It appears Ayleaus is quite the chef when it comes to smells."
Flare: "It appears Jason was also a huge factor."
Nova remains silent and stares at Jason.
Jason: "(in head) Why is she staring at me?"
Jake: "Trust me, we made plenty. (in head) I just hope we didn't fuck up."
Jason pats Jake's back.
Jason: "Lighten up."
Jake: "(in head) I hope so when this is over."
Everyone finishes an hour later...
Flare: "(astonished) Where did you two learn?"
Jason: "Self taught."
Jake: "My mom."
Nova: "(in head) Why did he teach himself?"
Onyx: "I can tell the relationship between you two now you're awake Jason."
Jason: "(puzzled) Why am I known here? I'm just a treasure hunter who ran away."
Nova: "I'm sorry Jason."
Jade: "We left this for you to explain Nova."
Nova: "(nervously) You see the resemblance don't you... my son."
Jason: "(shocked) What?"
Jake: "You're the heir to Nova. When that scale bonded to you we felt your energy mixed with Jade's. Alicia and I got over to you ASAP."
Jason: "Is this why he wouldn't tell me anything?!"
Nova: "Jonathan couldn't bring himself to tell you."
Jade: "I'm very sorry to break the moment, but I need to start my search for my friend."
Jason: "Then I entered my blood and lost control."
Alicia: "Right on the money."
Onyx: "The descendant of the Mind?"
Jason: "(crying) That bastard put me through hell to hide this?!"
Jason wipes away the tears.
Jason: "Guess when everyone mentioned my eyes were unique, it wasn't for a dumb reason."
Jade: "I'll head for Phiam."
Jake: "We'll split up and meet back here."
Jason: "I'll go with Jake."
Nova: "A-Are you sure?!"
Jason: "Just tell me how to switch between the two."
Nova: "A-All you need to do is touch the scale."
Jason does a test run and was successful.
Onyx: "You'll help them even if you barely know them?"
Jason: "I'm going to because I finally know the truth."
Alicia: "I'm sorry, but I can't follow your logic."
Jason: "My whole life has been a lie. Now I am standing within truth, and I'll help those who are like me."
Jake: "(in head) T-This will be interesting."
Jake grabs Jason's hand.
Jake: "I was kept from the truth until recently. You got my back?"
Jason: "This will be difficult..."
Jake: "Guess we're in the same boat."
Jade: "I guess I'll head to Phiam, you guys going for Nylsio?"
Jason: "It's good to plan ahead of time, and that should be fine."
Troy: "I need to get out more, so I'll help Jade!"
Alicia: "I'll go as well."
Flare: "Seems these two are affecting you three."
Jason: "The sooner we head out, the better."
Nova: "J-Just be careful."
The five split up upon walking out the front door.
Nova: "(in head) Don't die, any of you..."
