"Good Morning Vera!" King Ysna's voice bristled with power.
"I sincerely hope that whatever reason you've found is truly worth stopping the field practice, Sister."
The one who spoke this time didn't have the same power as King Ysna, but his voice still carried the same air of authority.
*Pting*
-User has discovered another available user (Vearus Nekarian)-
"Pardon my intrusion Your majesties," Jax'in raised his voice, giving his voice all the strength he could muster.
"My name is Jax'in Gail'Toren, King of the Lunar Elves, as well as the last of my race that I am aware of."
"Ah, it's not often that we are met with Elven Royalty, I give my deepest condolences for your loss," King Ysna replied with a hint of sorrow.
Princess Vera quickly took Jax'ins hand at this exchange. A movement that did not go unnoticed by Prince Vearus, who eyed the two suspiciously.
"Please, take a seat, you will always be welcome at my table." King Ysna bade.
"Much appreciated, Your Highness." Jax'in gave a small bow.
As Vera moved to sit down Jax'in quickly pulled her seat out, presenting it to her.
"Thank you, Jax'in."
As Jax'in sat in the seat next to Vera he noticed Prince Vearus eyeing him like a hawk. However, Jax'in had no time to exchange these sorts of pleasantries.
"King Ysna, are you aware of the abilities of Dreamseers?" Instructor Kubo asked
"I am familiar, yes."
"That makes this easier." Jax'in breathed.
"Your Highness, I am a Dreamseer, almost two weeks ago I had a vision of this city."
Jax'in went on to describe his vision. Vera's sisters each let out gasps and squeaks at different intervals of the vision. Then, It was finally time to describe the last part of the vision.
"The last part of the vision is actually only one of the reasons I have sought you out."
"Oh?" King Ysna couldn't help but voice his curiosity.
"The last part of my vision was of a women in white and purple silken fineries bein chased by what appeared to be a magical beast made of shadows.
"Shadows..."
King Ysna's brow furrowed in contemplation at this revelation, only to be pulled from his thoughts as Jax'in once again continued to speak.
"Out of that last part one piece of information became clear to ma last night..."
"What information?" Prince Vearus asked before his father could
"The woman being chased is none other than Vera."
Jax'ins use of her first name left everyone at the table speechless. Or at least as speechless as gasps and squeals of delight from the other women at the table goes.
Jax'in had mistaken the gasps and squeals as signs of worry, when in reality they were of excitement and intrigue. He even mistook Prince Vearus's reddening face as one of worry. Which wasn't quite right either.
It was Vera, in a voice full of joy, who broke the silence this time.
"I've found my mate Father. We've even been Soulbound."
PING
Everyone looked over at Prince Vearus, noticing the snapped fork in his hands.
"What! How could you let yourself be mated to this sorry excuse of a King!"
He had started moving in on where Jax'in sat, not noticing that Instructor Kubo had waved his father back into his seat with a cold smile.
"How can we even be sure he is who he says he is, he's probably just some bastard son of a whore, without a rightful claim to any throne!"
In his rage Prince Vearus had made two very large mistakes. The first was grabbing Jax'ins arm, the second. Insulting his parents. It took only a moment for Jax'in to take action. Bringing a deathly chill to the table.
-Sprint, Windwalk, and Killing Aura activated-
-User's Agility Increased to 120-
In one breathes time, Prince Vearus went from glaring at Jax'in, to being planted face first into the stone floor. Unable to move as fear spread through his body.
"Jax'in, that's enough. Lift your aura." Kubo commanded
At those words even King Ysna was surprised.
"Pardon my brashness King Jax'in, but how many people have you personally killed." King Ysna questioned.
"Almost a hundred."
"At once?"
"No, a little more than three dozen at one time." came Jax'ins cold reply.
"Hmmm, I must excuse myself for now, Vera will undoubtedly show you around in my absence."
"I think I shall join His Highness, Prince Vearus, you shall join us as well."
"Yes Instructor Kubo, sir."
With those words King Ysna, Instructor Kubo, and Prince Vearus left the Dining Hall. Vera's sisters were still sitting speechless at the table, whether from fear or excitement for their sister Jax'in wouldn't know.
"I should show Jax'in around some more, we'll talk later I promise"
Vera curtsied to her sisters before taking Jax'in by the hand, leading him straight back to her room. She wanted an explanation and nothing was going to stop her this time.
No sooner had Vera closed her door than she whipped around and said what was on her mind.
"What is this 'System', and do NOT tell me it's nothing. I heard you on top of the Fracture Worm."
Jax'in was about to tell her it was a secret he couldn't tell her when a notification popped up.
-Due to an active Soulbond the User may choose to grant a limited or complete status window for their other half-
That one notification changed everything, it wouldn't be a full 'System' like what he had. He hoped it would be enough for her though.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you..." Jax'in started
"Then..."
"It'll be easier to show you." Jax'in interrupted
"I need you to close your eyes and search your soul for that piece of me."
"O-ok." she stammered before closing her eyes and taking measured breathes.
'System grant complete status window to Soulbound partner-
-User request granted-
-Sub-user activated-
"By the gods..." Vera breathed.
Jax'in was about to ask her what she could see on her page when he noticed a blue window floating just in front of Vera.
Jax'in quietly moved behind Vera and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. He only whispered so as not to startle her.
"You'll need to think of the stats you want to place your free stat points, such as strength, constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, or..."
"Charm, it says Charm is the last one."
Jax'in gave a surprised once over her stat page before finding out it did in fact say Charm instead of Luck in the final slot.
"Huh, Once you're done, I'll show you my page if you want."
"N-no, what kind of magic is this?"
Her question may have been an innocent one, but his chest hurt when he realized what he was going to have to show her. But he decided to do so anyway, so he waited for her to finish placing her points.
"Before I tell you, what does your status page say?"

She had just turned around. Prepared for Jax'ins explanation when suddenly her vision went black as she slipped into unconsciousness.
