Chapter 8: The Return of Agony
The group arrives in Xeni with everyone still hurt and unconscious.
Jason: "(struggling) Made it!"
Jason and Joseph collapse in the middle of the road.
Joseph: "(exhausted) That was painful."
Everyone in the nearby area are panicking.
???: "I'll take them to the Sages."
A girl with a heavy choice of weaponry walks up and puts all four of them on her back.
Jason: "(surprised) Jade?!"
Jade: "Jason?!"
Joseph: "(in pain) She's one of those friends you mentioned?"
Jason: "(in pain) Yeah."
Jade: "I'll bring you guys over."
Jade carries the four without breaking a sweat into the Sages' house in the center of town.
Jade: "I was found by them after I arrived here and explained my situation."
Jason: "Determined and down to the point, sounds like Jade Laven."
Jade sets everyone down.
Jade: "We've got some injured here!"
Two women wearing green and purple clothing enter the room.
Life Sage: "Who are these people Jade?"
Jade: "The one with white hair is one of those people I told you two about, but the others are a mystery to me."
The Sage heals Joseph and Jason.
Joseph: "I'm Joseph Yeweys, apprentice to the Light Sage and he's..."
Joseph helps the Sages move Jack and Eryth to beds.
Joseph: "Jack Yeweys, the chosen and the emissary Eryth."
Jade: "Where did you end up Jason?"
Jason: "In a nearby forest by the town of Lio."
Joseph: "If it weren't for Jason, we'd be slaves stuck in some mine."
Poison Sage: "That would explain the massive wave of energy we felt here."
Jason: "Jack did use the 15th Rune when his emotions were out of control."
Jade: "Well I got some interesting info here, the Sages have a traitor among them."
Joseph: "(shocked) A-A t-traitor?!"
Poison Sage: "One of us is in charge of the 13th Crown according to some of their grunts I managed to get to talk."
Jason: "(thinking) A Lucifer disciple..."
Jade: "They died of poison overdose, but it's neither of these two."
Joseph: "The grunts and general we took care of kept saying the name Aqua."
Life Sage: "That would lower it to the other female Sages, considering the fact Aqua is a common name."
Poison Sage: "But that leaves Lightning, Soul, Blood, Water, and Mind."
Joseph: "If only we didn't have the tradition of never a a Sage's name after they become a Sage this entire thing would be a hell of a lot easier."
Jason: "We can locate which one it is because..."
A look of dread sweeps over Jason's face.
Jason: "She's got Jake."
Jade: "Well that means we're going to help this Jack meet all of the Sages and find who is going to get their ass kicked."
Jason: "You do tend to spend minimal time lounging around and go when you can go."
Jade: "Well we just need to wait on Jack."
Joseph: "This is some crazy shit you guys are stuck in."
Jade/ Jason: "Try what we already went through."
Joseph: "(nervously) I'd rather not."
