"...Dearest Sister... Give Jack some room..." Leslie seemed to command.

Emily glanced at Leslie, but only for a moment before she nodded. She then released Jack's skull, as his flaming eyes flashed into existence.

"Then you tell him how he needs to stop making us worry," Emily spoke, as she took a step back.

Leslie sighed, as she agreed, "Sister Emily is right, Jack, but... At this point, I guess this is just who you are now, huh?"

Jack trace the shape of Leslie's face, as he then looked to Eris and Emily on his far right. In his chair, he noticed that Jordan was sitting, with a stupid grin on his face.

"Yeah... I don't mean to... But things just happen to me." Jack shrugged, as he stared at Eris, who was standing the furthest away.

"Eris..." Jack spoke up suddenly, as Leslie and Emily looked over to Eris.

"Y-yes, my G.o.d." Eris squeezed out.

"...Were you worried...?"

"What?! Yes! Of course, I was worried! I-I mean... I'm sure you have your reasons... for... this..." Eris started off with a loud voice that trailed off into nothingness.

"I see," Jack spoke as his flaming eyes crackled, He pulled himself up from his lying position to a seated position inside his evening tomb, as he heard the jingle of gla.s.ses clanking together.

Jack looked down into his rib cage to see the beating heart of Eris, a Jar of souls, and two vials of fluids, one royal purple and one tan in color.

"Oh? Praise Yog, I guess..." Jack spoke lightly but heard a laughing voice faintly just beside him.

Jack looked left to right scanning the room, as the concerned faces of those present were returned.

[Yoggi, what happened with laughing from the sky...]

Another 'HA' was heard, and then silence.

"We need someone to keep Jack company to keep him out of trouble," Emily suggested.

"I would, but I have a lot to do, believe it or not." Leslie made a wary face, as she eluded to her job responsibilities that only Jack knew.

"Well, I still have to work with High Alchemist Raleigh. The Holy Concrete will be ready for batch process soon, and now I have to eat every few hours, and it's a pain in the pelvis."

"You have flesh now, it's pain in the b.u.t.t." Leslie corrected.

"Oh... Whatever, pain in the b.u.t.t... You know what I mean." Emily complained in a joking tone.

"As soon as my business here is finished, I must venture to Salily. The residents have yet to convert to the faith." Jordan confessed, still smiling, as he continued, "I suggest Consort Eris. She, also, hasn't fed in a while. While I know." Jordan looked deeply at Eris, who looked down, "She can do without for long periods... She must be hungry."

"..." Emily didn't like the sound of Eris spending more time with Jack, but Leslie sighed, "That might be for the best. Eris."

Eris turned her gaze to Leslie, who was sitting beside Jack, "Yes, Ma'am."

[When did Eris become so polite with Leslie???] Jack wondered.

"You will accompany Jack. Please keep him out of trouble and contact me as soon as he is about to jump into a hole without knowing the bottom."

"Yes, Ma'am." Eris was oddly polite and respectful of Leslie, making one wonder what Leslie said and showed her previously.

"I'll be watching you... Sister." Emily spat, as she turned to leave speaking, "I need to finish eating, and then go work on the Holy Concrete."

"Emily," Jack spoke, as Emily turned around to see Jack's flaming eyes.

"I love you."

"Eep... I-I love you, too." Emily smiled widely, as her jagged teeth revealed.

"I'll visit you in a few hours. How long are you going to eat?"

"Hmmm... In that case, I guess I can hold out. I'll go work on the Holy Concrete now and eat later." Emily said with a smile, as she opened the door, "Bye." She left, as the door closed behind her.

"Eris... I'll call for you after I meet Emily." Jack then looked to Eris, as he commanded, with a stricter tone.

"Oh. Okay, my G.o.d." Eris nodded.

"I'll feed you then, and... Maybe I'll play with my pet."

"Yeeeees... Your pet would love that." Eris purred, as she too went to leave the room, but before she closed the door, Jordan called out, "In addition, Insanity Princess... It would do you well to decide your place now before the G.o.d-King begins his campaign... For yourself, your kingdom, and... Your mother..."

Eris paled, as she quickly closed the door, only leaving Jack, Leslie, and Jordan within Jack's room.

"Jordan."

"Yes, my G.o.d-King."

"What was that?"

"Words that need to be said to your third consort. It will make more sense in time. I hope you can forgive me for not explaining now." Jordan knelled.

Jack seeing Jordan kneeling, and knowing Jordan always had his best wishes in mind, decided not to pursue him, but ask Eris later, as Jack nodded his head.

"In that case, I have a question." Jack continued.

"Yes, my G.o.d-King."

"Can I reap with Leslie?"

"Why do you ask, haha?" Jordan darkly laughed.

"You know why if you can predict so much..."

"Haha, yes. Yes, you can, but I need to remind you. Watch over your Third consort. I do want to mention this. Her heart has been exposed to the beyond and the beyond that... It was in the presence of the Unnamable and him, who is the gate and the key... The Unnamable brought your body and all... That is the difference..."

"Oh...!? Then... What will this do to her." Jack asked, as Leslie desperately tried to follow along, as she furrowed her brows.

"...Honestly, even I do not know. The movements of the... Eldritch are filled with blanks to me. Delving into their actions too much will draw their attention. And unlike you, my G.o.d-King... I do not have the fort.i.tude to stand before them and walk away."

"Then why chop up my mind, this time?" Jack now asked something he really wanted to know.

"I was wondering when you were going to ask that... It's because you saw beyond just them... Truthfully, Honestly, and without a doubt... You are one of the few that witnessed what you saw and remain nearly whole. Any other mind would have collapsed... I... I have sacrificed much of my mind to know how to treat you, my G.o.d-King."

"What?"

"To know how to treat you, I had to know what happened... To say the least, I'm no longer working with a full deck of cards, if that makes any sense to you, my G.o.d-King." Jack cackled.

"So, you're crazy now?"

"Crazier, my G.o.d-King... Crazier, Hahaha."

"...Fitting..." Leslie commented.

Jack coughed into his hand, which was strange to both Leslie and Jordan, as Jack had no lungs... But it worked to change the topic.

"So, you know what I saw?"

"I did... I, too, removed it. It was far simpler for me to remove it than it was for you... I have no reason to retrieve my memories, but you will."

"I... See... Well, then me and Leslie can?"

"Back to that, huh? Well, even G.o.ds need to relax. Yes, you can, but know that the corruption of the beyond is upon you... You will pa.s.s it to her if she touches your soul."

"What?!"

"Yes."

"Isn't that... Like... A disease that's transmitted-"

"Not quite... While there may be a negative to those with weaker minds, Your Queen, will have no trouble. In fact, it will help her later in your quest to the land of dreams. I suggest you lay with her, and your other two consorts."

"Can those two handle it?"

"The G.o.ddess is far more powerful now than she was previously before ascending. It seems that her faithful are ama.s.sing in the foretold area. Though it's foggy to where it is a distant land... She will be fine. Your Third Consort... Her mind is already bent... There is a risk to her. If the taint does not break her, then it will be of a benefit to her later. Even with the risk, I suggest it."

"I... See..."

[Taint... Sounds like that area between- UGH, d.a.m.n IT a.s.sTUR!] Jack cursed in his mind.

"I will not leave the Capital for the next seven days. Frolic with your First Consort, I will return in..." Jordan looked up for a moment, "six hours... That is when your Second Consort will be done with work."

"Okay?"

Jordan stood up from his kneeling position, and went to the door, "Enjoy," Jordan laughed as he left the room.

[I feel raped by a.s.stur... Ugh... And that nickname I gave him... I feel a headache coming... Oh, gees.]

While in thought and still unsure about reaping with what he could only a.s.sume was Eldritch taint, he looked down to Leslie, who returned his gaze, "Ah-"

"It's fine," Leslie spoke.

"But-"

"It doesn't matter to me."

"...Can I finish my words?"

"No." Leslie laughed, as Jack felt a probing into his soul, noticing Leslie had already placed her hand on his ribcage.

Jack sighed understanding Leslie's determination, as he slid back down to lay in his evening tomb, as Leslie popped the tomb's lid to slide into place covering them.

Using his G.o.d-Soul, Jack opened a path for Leslie to intrude into his soul s.p.a.ce, to once again embrace each other's souls.
