Jihon steps out of the Triton. He had parked it in his personal Garage not too far from the palace. He walks out of the Garage and looks back in at it and frowns. He pushes a button on his remote and the triton makes two rapid beeping sounds...
"It's just not the same...."
Jihon hangs his head as the massive garage door closes behind him. Whenever it clunks down he continues walking. He is met by a familliar voice....
Lisette: What's wrong hun?
Jihon: Oh... It's nothing...
Jihon looks at the stunning woman and smiles.
Jihon: For 1 million years... I have lived... Most people don't even have the experiances I have had even if they are fully immortal....
Jihon frowns and looks at the ground....
Lisette: I don't think I understand....
The woman walks over to him and reaches for his hand. Jihon hesitates for a moment and then takes her hand....
Jihon: I love you with everything I have... But...
Lisette: What?
Jihon: Death is not what expected it to be... I can't feel... I can't smell.... I can't taste... I have no pain... and you... are my only pleasure anymore....
The woman blushes slightly at Jihons comments...
Lisette: What are you getting at...
Jihon: Don't you want to live?
Jihon looks up at the woman and smiles....
Lisette: Oh Jihon... I wouldn't know how....
Jihon: Trust me... It's easy... Why don't we take back the life that was stripped from us by that wretched tournament...
Lisette: But what about the others?
Jihon: My friends will manage without me... We can go and hide... Tom can find us a nice place... Hell we can go live with the Matri Vihar!
Lisette smiles....
Lisette: I don't know these people.... Or these places....
Jihon smiles....
Jihon: Well the Matri Vihar live in paradise and practice Buddhism... Tom is a Cenzarian...
Lisette: Cenzarian?
Jihon: It's kind of like New Jersy...
They both smile at one another for a few moments....
Lisette: But what about Your father and Clare and Horis and Pap...
Lisette seems concerned....
Jihon: They seem content....
Jihon glances to his left where his friends are pasting a fake mustache to his monument.... The lovers smile and look back at oneanother...
Jihon: The only reason I died... was to once again taste your love... To embrace you...
Lisette blushes....
Jihon: And I can't even do that...
Jihon smirks and then looks behind him as if remembering something....
Jihon: Man... I almost forgot...
Clutch! The umbra is open! Come one in! Jihon: An old friend wants to say hello....
"It is not the fear of death that drives us.... It is the fear of eternal life...."
