Reign had a slightly puzzled look on his face as he heard Aethion's words. For a moment he considered whether it was a plot of the old man to somehow escape, but something deep inside of him was telling him it was not so, when a soul is bound then escape is almost completely impossible.
Reign focused and channeled his mana while giving it his all to go inside his own consciousness, slowly a figure was being formed in front of him and the others. Under the astonished gazes of Shadow and the others, the figure consolidated and they could see an ethereal image of Aethion who was smiling at them.
"Hello, you bastards." Aethion waves at them with a smile as they gave him dark looks after hearing the way he addressed them. It seemed that the dark looks only worked to make Aethion even happier as his smile grew wider.
"Damn, so you really weren't going, crazy bro." Shadow looks at Reign and nods multiple times before switching his gaze to Aethion.
