 Aiden went back to the main group after his talk with Boo. He couldn't get one thing out of his, though. His marriage with Arjuna as Draupadi was one thing, because Arjuna and Aru look almost identical, despite the fact that Aru is a girl, not a boy.

They both had the same soft hair that waved with the wind, slight dimple, and sparkling brown eyes that captured you the moment you glanced at them. It was weird thinking about Arjuna like that, but Aru and Arjuna were one in the same anyway. So, it didn't really matter.

However, that wasn't the only thing on his mind(though it took up most of his thoughts), Aiden kept thinking, "What did Boo mean when he said it was his choice to make? What'll he choose? Aru or the world? "

Aiden shook his thoughts as he approached the ashram. He saw Sage Vyasa telling the Potatoes the elaborate tale of the Mahabharata. Mini was constantly interrupting the Sage with questions, he answered them, and went back to telling the story. Sage Vyasa always had a smile on his face, no matter how many times Mini pestered him. Aiden soon sat down with the others, completely entranced by the elaborate tale of the Pandavas and Kauravas.

He flinched and cringed every time Draupadi's topic came up, because he remembered every moment in complete detail, all the way to what time of day it was when, the events that they were talking about, happened.

"Finally, when Yudhishtira reached the top of Mount Kailash with the dog by his side, the dog turned into his father. Lord Yamadharma Raj stood proud in front of his son, a smirk Grace-ing(HA! JASON GRACE PUN! Good job, Sage Vyasa. -Trips) his divine face. He took his son on his chariot, and drove him to heaven, thus ending the story of the Pandavas and starting a new reign in Hastinapur," Sage Vyasa ended, earning groans from everyone, and pleas from Mini to tell the story again.

Sage Vyasa shook his head, the unearthly smile never leaving his face, "I would love to tell the Epic once more, however, I think Draupadi made her decision. Do you want me to tell you the directions to the Sun's palace?"

Aiden cringed but nodded gratefully, as he slowly stood up to have a group chat with the others. He soon brought out Karen, and then said, " Go on, tell them your curse. We all need to know so we can free the others...when we find them. Boo already freed you, it's their turn."

The others looked at him with perplexed expressions. Nikita started making circular motions around her temple, sending an indication to her sister that Aiden might have finally gone bananas.

Karen Buzzed to life as a silvery blue hue surrounded the small compass.

" Hello again, Friend Aiden! I know what you want, and I'll do it! Gather round friends of Master Boo! I've got a story to tell!"

The potatoes did as they were told, as the origins of the Jewels were told to them. Their ancient roots and secrets. How they were stolen from the previous incarnations of the Pandavas, only to be retrieved by Mother Parvati, and given to the Potatoes. However, the Sage stood there, patiently waiting for the answer Aiden was to give him, about seeing the Sun Lord.

Keira grinned evilly as she listened to the great powers of the jewels. Soon they would be her completely, bound to her by words of power. She walked over to the Scimitar necklace first. Why, you might ask? That one was already impure, and bonded to her soul, and because of that, Pretty Boy Aiden was under her control.

Suddenly she stopped, as Kara grabbed her shoulders with such a force that she dropped the sphere(the necklace was inside the sphere), as it shattered upon impact. The tiny fragments shot up to the sky, returning the necklace to the gods for safe keeping.

The dark and thorny bond between that Aiden kid and herself was now broken, however he was still impure. Only the rays of the sun could burn off the impact, but who would be stupid enough to go there? Kiera's eyes went bloodshot as she screeched at Kara as to why she disrupted her ritual.

"I FINALLY REALIZED HOW TO WORK THE OVEN AND THE MICROWAVE" Kara screamed excitedly, a different emotion hidden behind the veil of her eyes.

"Something isn't right. What is this bad feeling?" Keira wondered, her heart racing every moment.

Kara smirked. Her eyes had cleared, and the determined look was once again present in her eyes .

"You'll lose Kiera. After all, that was the jewel of manipulation. You used that power to resurrect me, but that bond is broken now. I will help you because of the bond we shared as younger children, but you will lose, and I will see to it."

How did you like that comeback readers? Told ya Kara would come back!
