Jade didn't like this, the waiting. No control of when the curse would hit him, he almost wished it did so it could be over. The waiting game that was putting him on edge.
He still petted the light's head, watching and waiting. Wondering what in the world--
... Jade dropped Akito, suddenly slamming against the opposite wall. He grunted, steadily getting himself up to his feet. He blinked when his spear appeared in his hand, he hadn't summoned it.
'Before their very eyes, Necromancer.'
Twins, walking towards him. Akito and Agito? No, he couldn't! Not even to replicas of his kids, he couldn't! Jade slammed his back against the wall, yelping in alarm.
Eyes wide with fear and terror...
Shadowman....
NO! Jade threw his spear aside, only to have it appear back in his hand. What was going on here?! Did Van mean for him to kill them?
'Or be killed.'
Eyes empty as sockets, they charged for Jade.
"NO!" He dropped to his knees, wincing, waiting... he can't hurt them! Any other time he would have killed them, but he couldn't! Those are his kids, his guardian angels, he can't hurt them!
