•Eon, the half-6th King, the Purple King, JUNGLE's leading clansman•

"Good," I said before relaxing.

The glass windows from the other side of the room made me aware of something and Saru-chan carried me to the view as he also noticed.

A green ray of light emitted from the ground and shot through the skies. It was exactly the place where Nagare's hideout was. It looks like a tree beginning to sprout from the middle of the light. It has started just like I known it would. My brother should be there with Nagare.

I can't really move as freely since my legs has lost its function and my mind gets fizzled up but I'm still good to stop whatever's happening. Suddenly, a pain shot through me, that made my heart strike.

"Eon! What's wrong?!" Saru-chan said in worry.

"The slate is starting to liberalize," I said. My head is pounding like crazy. "It will start to effect the first three kings. It is just changing the power of the kings so don't worry. That's the process of the slate."

"But you're not the first three kings," he said as he laid me on the bed.

"I know but my aura is connected to the Gold King's aura ," I said. "I am also the one who controlled the slates. No King alone can do it."

"That's how he managed to do it," he said, as the pieces fit together. "Reisi didn't manage to handle the slates because he was doing it alone."

"Yes," I said. "Although, I could have manage the slates myself since my powers is almost like the First King."

"But you're unstable," he said, "so your plan is to will the slates in control again?"

"Precisely,"

"But you can barely move right now," he said with slight irritation.

"I can move, okay," I said. "It's just that my brother can sense me if I try to remove the order of his in making my legs like this. I just need to find the right moment. For now, I want you to meet up with the others and follow up. Make sure they don't suspect you of anything and if you think that you need the Silvers, Reds and Blues help, go ahead."

"What? Why would I?" He began to protest.

"I'm just saying because I can't make up a plan," I said. "Ion would seek my mind for information that may involve me fighting. He's scared that I will die."

"I'm beginning to think his a little bit of a yandere." He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Maybe . . . that's why I'm trusting your plan in getting me as close to the slates. You're a new player that nobody has any experience on. In this final level that Nagare's planned out, I'm going to be your pawn from now on and you're the player who needs to finish the game. Think wisely and lose none for this is a game that's betting on us all."
