[he's free. she doesn't know what that means anymore. her father had always been more of a legend than a man to her, a soldier and a hero, and then he was gone, nothing left but monstrous shadows wearing his face.

she chokes back a sob, quaking like an aspen.]

S-Seraphina.

[the name feels strange, not like her own anymore. she hasn't spoken it in centuries. no one left alive--no one but herself and her father--knows it.

she draws in a deep breath--jack is touching her, his fingers are cold as always, and it gives her something to center herself with.]

We thought they were gone for good before. But they escaped. They escaped using him.

[caelus]

[ jack sits down, cross legged next to her, but far enough away so that his cold doesn't affect her little blooms. he smiles gently when she finally gives him a name that isn't one he made up o simply mother nature. ]

You gonna mind if I keep up with my running trend, Dahlia?

[ his hand slides down from her shoulder, and moves to find one of her hands. ]

They can't do that this time. They're bound for good. This---alien, one who knew Kozmotis before---he used my magic and his own to make sure of it. And even if I hadn't seen that---[ he pulls the mage-stone kozmotis had given him out from his shirt, glowing with a bright amber light, to show her. ]

There's this.

[asklepian]

[she shakes her head, a small smile finding its way to her face. leave it to jack to be incorrigible about the whole thing.

she looks at the pendant, the amber glow in it. it's been a long time since she's seen mage-stone. earth doesn't have it, largely because there's simply not as much magic as there used to be. she knows what it's used for though--it holds spells incredibly well, hence the name, and it shows signs of the magic used to spell it. the gold is so antithetical to pitch's swirling darkness that she knows it can't be him. and she remembers her father's golden armor. it seems so right.]

I didn't know there was anyone else left, aside from us here on Earth.

[it makes her wonder. are there remnants of the golden age, back where they're from? she's not even sure she could find her way home now, even if she had a ship that could make the journey. and, well. after so long, earth was her home.

even if there were others left, long-lived as they were, they would surely recognize kozmotis, and not in any kind of good way.]

...the gold fits. But I don't remember his magic being strong enough before to light up that brightly.

[caelus]

[ jack had never even seen one until koz had given it to him, showing him as he made the answering one he wore himself. jack gives a small shrug. ]

I had no idea either. He was attacked on another world, a colony where he helps out with some kids---he took him thinking he was just Pitch.

I left my ship to go help him. We nearly didn't make it back.

[ he grins at the mention of the bright gold hue of the magic. ]

Should've seen what he did earlier to Tooth and Bunny when they tried to kidnap me away. Like a supernova.
