the eyes sight turned to the right to glance at one of Anubis’ guards holding Lance’s crown in a clawed hand grip before switching to look at the High Council.
He frowned as Shad spoke sounding like sarcasm “Hmm what should we do with Lance?”
He continued to watch as Shad and Onya bowed their heads followed by the High Council members seated behind the two waving their hands in random gestures while shaking their heads in Human gestures of no and yes motions.
He heard Lance’s voice sounding odd that made him think it was his father’s thoughts “Jinks, your with the Meritanians aren’t you?”
He mentally spoke in response “I am.”
He again heard Lance’s odd voice “This stunt was planned by Ajax according to the High Council.”
Jinks mentally spoke “Yes I’m aware of that. Are you aware that you have to heal yourself from your anger by confronting your past?”
He felt Lance’s disgust go away followed by a feeling of dread hitting him as he added “Father I can’t help you from here. You’ll have to do it by yourself.”
Jinks felt the dread become dormant as he kept talking “Father it’s the only way to help the both of us get back to where we were before Ajax’s manipulating.”
He felt the dread stop as he heard Lance’s voice speaking “I had a female who did bad things to people for her own selfish gain including using me too. I was forced to kill her off as a punishment to her for her actions.”
He frowned as an image of Orria flashed in his mind as Lance kept talking “I wound up paying for her death by her own people accusing me of sorcery who got other people to believe them. They wound up nearly trying to burn me to death by having me tied to some pole in the middle of a bonfire. I was saved when the rains fell hard wiping out the fire and the people left me tied up while they ran for cover. I wound up falling unconscious from feeling sick from the rains hitting me. I don’t know who but someone freed me from the ropes while I was out unconscious and brought me to the castle where I laid sick out of it for who knows how long till I woke up to discover the people’s attitude towards me changed enough to see me as some deity lord.”
He kept frowning as Lance continued “To this day I still don’t know who freed me from the ropes or how those people changed their attitudes towards me. I haven’t been able to find out because those people haven’t been forthcoming and have been avoiding the subject whenever I bring it up in their presence.”
Jinks heard a loud hiss sound jerked opened his eyes to see the Meritanians’ heads were up with glares on their faces aimed at him.
He brought himself to stand in a quick move as Ramses spoke “Ugh High Council there’s one flaw in Ajax’s plan. It’s Horus, who’s back with us. Appeared getting rid of him didn’t work.”
He raised his hands palms up while willing the Master through to form a sneer on his face as the Meritanians did double take looks as he willed the earth shaking power to come within him. He felt the earth around him shake while seeing the Meritanians form looks of pain on their faces with their forms jerking back and forth sideways.
He heard Ramses yell “That’s Horus doing it! We forgot that Horus is equal to Lance in power abilities!”
He kept up with the earth shaking power to sense a flash of light off his right side followed by hands grabbing his hands cutting off the earthquake. Jinks felt irritate looked to his right to see Ajax looking annoyed on his son’s face who released his hold on his hands.
He fisted his hands to growl an angry sound while looking at Ajax who spoke “Don’t tempt me to order Terra to dump Lance in the ocean if you keep up hurting the Meritanians with those earthquakes of yours.”
Jinks folded his arms to turn towards Ajax while keeping the sneer on his face with the Master willed away from him.
Jinks saw Ajax’s annoyance look turn to a frown as he spoke with a taunting tone “Why aren’t you doing the earthquakes yourself hmm? You should be able to keep the Meritanians loyal to the High Council if the plants appear to have loyalties to their enemies.”
He eyed Ajax who appeared to look nervous as he heard growling sounds from the Meritanians followed by Ramses’ voice speaking “Don’t you dare do that or else Ajax.”
He again spoke still using the taunting tone “Ooh you’re too afraid to do that to the Meritanians.”
Jinks saw Ajax’s face become a fearful look which he spoke still using the taunting tone “What can the Meritanians do to you? The Meritanians are nothing but plants that can’t do a thing to you but bore you with their useless babble.”
He stared at Ajax who spoke with fear in his voice “The Meritanians aren’t just plants.”
Jinks burst out laughing sarcastically before speaking “Yeah right, who said that remark? The Meritanians if they said it are just trying to make you think their more than just plant which is what they are just plants.”
He heard Ramses speak “Don’t listen to Horus and his remarks. We’re more than just plants and don’t forget it.”
Jinks eyed Ajax that spoke with fear in his voice “I would rather not chance it.”
He spoke with sarcasm “Too bad Ajax. Why aren’t you meeting Lance himself? Go meet him, he’s your father and you should have the opportunity to meet him before the High Council does something terrible to prevent that.”
Jinks formed an innocent look on his face while staring at Ajax who appeared to be relieved by the look on his face.
He heard Ramses speak “Shouldn’t it be time for you to get up from bed?”
He gave up a loud sound of disgust and spoke “Darn I was enjoying this meeting spoilsport.”
He reached out a hand and placed on Ajax’s forehead and forced his son’s eyes shut. He removed his hand and saw Ajax’s form disappear into a flash of light. Jinks turned his form to face the Meritanians who appeared to have angry looks on their faces.
He frowned with arms folded as Ramses spoke “I resent your remarks making us seem we’re nothing but plants when we’re not.”
He heard hissing sounds from the Meritanians as he spoke with a firm tone “You could have warned Lance and me about the manipulating by Ajax which you failed to do.”
He heard Ramses speak “So what? I’m getting sick and tired of Lance using his pain power on us to serve his whims. About time he was taught a lesson on his unacceptable behavior.”
He formed a glare on his face as Ramses continued speaking “Terra, toss Lance in the ocean will yah?”
He eyed one of the female Meritanians who spoke “Gladly-“
He frowned as she was abruptly interrupted by chorus of voices sounding Highlander like in unison speaking “Don’t you dare Terra!”
Jinks formed a frown on his face as the Meritanians gave off sounds of groaning followed by the three bowing their heads.
He heard Ramses speaking in a whining tone “Oh come on High Council. I’m itching to give Lance his desserts for that torture he did on us to get us to serve him and his ridiculous orders.”
Jinks felt annoyance hit him which he sensed was from Lance as Ramses paused to give off sounds of disgust echoed by his plant sisters before the male plant spoke still in a whining tone “But come on High Council. He deserves it.”
He heard nothing from the High Council but sensed Lance was still annoyed and heard from the Meritanians in unison “Argh!”
He eyed them as they raised their heads with annoyed expressions on their faces as they folded their arms.
Jinks kept his mouth shut to form a frown on his face as Ramses spoke sounding annoyed “Grr our fun has been ruined.”
He spoke loudly “Excuse me.”
He saw the Meritanians look his way from looking at each other with annoyed expressions on their faces.
He spoke “You want to explain what my father has been doing to you to get you ticked off?”
He kept a frown on his face aimed at the Meritanians who all gave up sounds of disgust.
Rams
es spoke sounding dejected “Alright Horus, Lance has been repeatedly torturing us with his pain power of causing the earth to shake which hurts us enough to keep us above the water’s surface. We get our nourishments from the sun and from being underwater at nighttime. We haven’t been getting much nourishment due to being in too much pain to go underwater at nighttime which keeps us on the surface hurting till daylight is when we’re too exhausted to stay on the surface and puts us underwater. Also we’re having trouble resting underwater due to Lance’s torture which hurts us enough to feel so bad that we can’t sit still enough to get rest. The pain makes us move around a lot underwater from trying to get relief from it hurting us.”
Jinks frowned furrowing on his face as he spoke “Then why are you serving Lance anyway? Why don’t you just rebel from his orders?”
He heard the Meritanians give off groaning noises followed by Ramses speaking “Believe me we already tried numerous times to rebel against Lance and his orders but he always hits us with his pain power whenever we refused to serve him which we wound up serving him just to get him to stop his torture.”
He sighed and spoke “What will get Lance to stop hitting you with his pain power?”
Jinks saw the Meritanians look at each other before looking at him followed by Ramses pointed a robe covered finger at him and cocking his head with some glaring stare.
Jinks formed disgust on his face figuring out Ramses’ gesture indicating him as he spoke “What’s with Lance’s obsession with
