"... Aaaaahhh…"
"Jack? Jack!"
"Huh... Ohh!"
Jack finally opened his eyes, finding the real world around him and not an illusory vision supplied by Daruun. But before he could speak or see everyone around him, Jack was bombarded by tender yet firm embraces from his wives.
"Jack… Why do you have to scare us like that?" Eliza sighed, speaking softly into Jack's ear.
"You always do this to us," added Maura. "But we're glad you survived a god chasing after you."
Daliea was the first to release Jack and give him some room, adding, "Only you could survive a god's wrath… I'm proud of you."
Taking all that into consideration, Jack struggled to sit up without any aching. "How long was I out this time?"
"Six weeks," a familiar voice stated.
"Mom… What are you doing here?"
I know it's been a while since I've actually asked for power stone votes, but here I go. All of your power stone votes helps this story reach new readers, which gets me closer to my goal of making writing a viable career path.
To all of you who have voted and continue to vote for AJ, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. It really does mean the world to me, as I would love to just write stories for the rest of my life. Honestly, apart from my story on hiatus till AJ ends, I've got nearly a dozen more to offer. Your votes and support are the reason I'm still writing with that goal in mind, so, again, thank you!
