II [Video; open to both courts]
[The video feed on the amulet shows Zelos sitting crosslegged on his bed. The room looks to be a rather comfortable room that's given to people of nobility in the Seelie court. Though other than what looks like a small vase of purple flowers on the nightstand, there's not much in the way of personal touches.]
Well what do you know, I've been here almost a month now! Which is a lot longer than I'd like, buuuut from the sounds of how long people get stuck in this place - I probably shouldn't complain too much.
[Though always going to complain some.]
Anyway! Since it seems pretty normal to ask questions on these locket - I thought I'd might as well throw in a few of my own again if there's any kind souls willing to answer! I mean, I always prefer to hear it from a lovely female voice, but don't worry- I can settle. ♥
[He clears his throat. For each number, he makes counts them off on his hand]
And... [He taps his chin] I think that's it! Huh! I thought there would've been more! Oh well!

1. Just what exactly were those shadowy blob guys? I mean, other than the name I can't say. Any idea just where they came from? Are they like a normal thing in this place? Because seriously, talk about annoying and creepy.
2. Is there anyone who can tell me more about the Shards? Yeah, I already know they're crystals inside us that the courts want to collect- but why? What are they made of? How'd did they get into us? Honestly...any information would be of use.
3. Does anyone know where I can get more hair ties or supplies? Because I'm down to my last tie, and that's a serious problem!
And... [He taps his chin] I think that's it! Huh! I thought there would've been more! Oh well!

The Seelie monarchs claim gathering all of them would give the armies here enough power to cross over into all of the worlds. I don't know if that's true or not, but you can tap into them to be stronger and faster.
[ a litte quieter, ] I saw one... removed, once, and it radiated power. Some of the fairies and imps even fell to their knees.
[ But he quickly moves on. He's definitely passed his threshold for discussions on death for the time being. ]
Apparently they also link us to our worlds somehow, and I was told that there will always be shard and shardholders whether there's a war or not. But whatever they really are, they don't want us to know. That's pretty suspicious if you ask me.

- Wait, what?
Why would they want their armies to cross into the other worlds? I thought their conflict was here.
[IN ZELOS'S BOOK THAT IS A VERY BAD SIGN]
no subject
The Seelie monarchs claim that that Unseelie want to cross over and spread chaos and disorder, and they want the shards to prevent them from doing that. But apparently the some of the Unseelie have been told the opposite—that they're trying to stop the end of the world and that the Seelie want it come because it's supposed happen.
Although I kind of doubt either is what's actually going on. I think they're just telling people what they think will motivate them.
no subject
[He crosses his arms and looks pensive. Either situation, if they are true, are very bad. Aselia is extremely weak and undivided right now. Sylvarant had no real government or army, and there's no way the Tethe'allan Royal Army could face off an army equipped with Shards - not since they gave up their own exspheres. And who knows about the other worlds, if they could handle that kind of attack force]
They could be lying, or just one could be lying or they could both be telling the truth. Sounds like too big a risk to just assume they're making it up. I'll add it into the things I need to look into.
[He refuses to play the part in any ploy that might get his home invaded. Maybe he wasn't the best Chosen, but it was his world dammit.]
I don't know if they're the same thing, but the Shards sound a lot like Exspheres. I'll admit that alone makes it hard for me to trust anything the Monarchs have to say.
no subject
... Exspheres?
no subject
[Even if it's very...very...very far away]
Exspheres are special power crystals. Someone who has one equipped properly gets their physical and magical capabilities greatly enhanced. You can use them to power magitechnology too.
However, they're made out of people's lives. A group called the Desians used to harvest people to make them, but now that they're gone they're highly illegal - as they should be.
no subject
[ the rest gives him pause though. ]
So an energy source made out of people's lives? That's—... [ he doesn't outright say the word disgusting, but it's pretty evident in his tone. ] Why would anyone do that?
no subject
[Seeing as it's on the other side of the continent and all that]
[And believe him, he 100% agrees with the assessment it's disgusting] I don't know. I haven't found any records of their invention, just that it happened sometime in some ancient war. As for the Desians...they didn't like humans, and felt that was how to go about it.
no subject
... I see. I knew of a group that wanted to kill off humanity myself. But as long it's over with, I guess none of the rest matters.
no subject
Geez, another group? What's with that? [He sighs] Well, the Desians are all gone too. I'm just hoping this whole Shard deal isn't a repeat.
no subject
I wouldn't say they didn't have reason, even if I didn't agree with them. But it ended well, so I can't complain. [ shrug. ] But they do make it sound like we're born with them, at least.
no subject
Yeah...glad it worked out for you guys. [Gosh people stop trying to kill humans!] Yeah that's...weird to think about. [Nevermind he was born with a goddamn cruxis crystal] You think a doctor would've noticed something weird.
no subject
... Who knows. Maybe it didn't take form right away. At least in my world, there's powers you'll never know you have or can possess until they actually manifest.
no subject
[He gives a little frustrated sound and tugs on one of his locks of hair]
There's just too many unknowns. I hate being in the dark like this.
no subject
[ being separated from his friends nearing five months now doesn't exactly help matters. he sighs, and attempts to change the subject before it begins—it's something he's been trying to avoid thinking about. ]
At any rate, we're bound to find something sooner or later. We just have to keep trying.
