[As Hunter does that, Jun will lower his sword and look up. He gives a small smile at the compliment]

Haha, your teleporting is impressive. I don't think I could pull off a chain like that.

[He says it lightly and casually, like it really hasn't sunk in that he nearly bisected his friend a couple times there. Hunter said he was part of an elite witch Coven, so it's fine! He can take it!!

He'll nod up to the staff]

Can he support extra weight?

[Jun doesn't weigh much, he's smaller than Hunter, but he doesn't want to hurt Flapjack. ]

[Hunter grins back at the compliment. He's trained incredibly hard to get to where he is, and he's very proud of that. He wouldn't have the position of Golden Guard if he couldn't keep up with opponents more powerful than himself.]

Yes. Palismen are strong in their staff forms.

[He lowers himself down to the ground, hovering just above, so that Jun can hop on.]

[Thoughtful! Jun will put away his sword, so it disappears in a flash of light, and hop onto the staff. He'll adjust his cape so he's not sitting on it and rather it drape down on the other side of the staff]

Haha, in the stories witches always have flying brooms, but this is much cooler.

[Once Jun is aboard Flapjack will rise up into the air above the tree line, so they can get a nice view of the city.]

Brooms? Really? Why in the name of Titan would anyone use a broom? That seems unsanitary.

[He gives a shrug of his shoulder, his legs kicking out in the air idly and looks out at the view. Oh this is nice. He loves heights]

No idea, that's just how the stories go. There's also a bunch of other stuff that's wrong too, but I'm sure it's because whoever wrote the stories hadn't seen a real witch before.

[He nods at that.]

Most likely. While it's possible for objects to travel between the realms using leaks, it's rare for that to happen to actual people. And up until now I thought there had been only one door between them.

Leaks?

[Well that catches his interest]

Wait, are you saying leaks between our realms is something that happened before all this?

Yes. Wild portals can be created in the demon realm when Titan's blood leaks into the water. [It doesn't seem too concerning to explain all of this.] It's possible to harness Titan's blood and manufacture a portal, but it isn't easy to accomplish.

[Jun listens, taking in this information]

Huh. So hypothetically...the reason all you isekais are here could be due to leaks between realms. Ones big enough to transport people.

It would explain all the random items that keep popping up too.

[Hunter nods.]

It's one possibility. Titan blood is rare, though. I'm not even sure there's any left aside from what's in a key back in the Boiling Isles.

Mm...

[He considers for a moment]

What is titan blood, exactly? Is it blood from a real Titan, or is that just the name for it?

Yes, it is. The Boiling Isles are a series of islands made from the decaying remains of a Titan. Its body and blood were so powerful that it allowed life to evolve, and to wield magic. The blood is particularly potent, though there's next to none left as far as I know.

[Jun's quiet for a moment, thinking over what said. He's not really fazed by the description. Honestly, it sounds like some creation myths he's read]

I don't know how we'd go about getting it, but what if we tried the blood of a god?

[What.]

If the myths are to be believed, Earth once had Titans too. They were among some of the oldest gods before they were overthrown by their own children. And there's plenty of stories of gods using their body parts to create land and life. So wouldn't it make sense that the blood of other gods could carry similar properties?

[Nevermind the fact that going about OBTAINING that blood would be insanely dangerous if not impossible!!!]

[Hunter isn't sure how they'd acquire any, either. If it was almost impossible to get ahold of in the Boiling Isles, the chances of finding it here aren't good.

But hey, Jun is presenting a very good idea. Hunter looks thoughtful.]

It's possible. The reason why Titan blood is so effective is because of its high magical potency, if a substitute were to have a similar properties I don't see why it wouldn't work too.

[Jun nods]

Mm. They're always talking about the blood of Christ in church, so it must be powerful...

[Huh. Why is his seal mark sting all of the sudden? He frowns as his hand goes to rub it, stopping short as his hand hovers above it.

Oh. Right. He lowers his hand and clears his throat]

Not that it'd be possible to get His blood, specifically. But if we come across a lesser god in the Spirit Realm and somehow get some blood from them, surely that'll do the trick too.

[The stinging subsides. Thank God.]

[Hunter raises an eyebrow at all of that. He isn't just noticing Jun reaching for his seal mark - he has no clue who this Christ god is. He might have to do some more reading.]

Why wouldn't it be possible? Is He that powerful?

[But he hums thoughtfully.]

I'm not sure about a lesser god, but if we could get some we could test it. If it doesn't work we try again with a stronger god.

[Hunter doesn't seem to notice his gesture. Good. And it's easy enough to give a truthful answer without talking about himself.]

Mm. He's easily the strongest of the gods. And impossible to find unless He chooses to show Himself. It'd be pointless to even try with Him.

[Because of course people have tried to locate the Garden of Eden and Him in the Spirit Realm throughout the years. None of them successful.]

...Alright, if that what it takes. [Was this a crazy plan? Yes. But he did promise to help get his friend home.] It truly won't be easy though. I'm not even sure how we'd go about surviving even a lesser god, honestly.

[But if that's what it takes, they'll just have to think of something]

Hmmm. That's a lofty description.

[He's going to be skeptical, but regardless, starting with a lesser god makes more sense. It's less dangerous (for Flapjack).]

I'm sure we can manage. We start by appealing to their respect for authority - I'm sure when I explain who I am and how important this is they'll give us some.

[.....

Yeah we're gonna die.]

Mm .... Historically speaking, using that strategy against a god has never worked.

[Hunter folds his arms stubbornly.]

Yeah, well then we'll be the first to see that it does.

[he sighs]

Fine. But we should be prepared to fight them, just in case that doesn't work.

[Jun that is equally a bad plan]

Alright. [Hunter nods at that.] We have a back-up plan, in case our first one doesn't work.

Mm. [He nods, holding his fist out for a fist bump] Whatever it takes, we'll get what you need.

[Oh, hey, he knows what to do here! He makes a fist and awkwardly bumps it against Jun's.]

Thanks. I appreciate the help.

[Heck yeah fistbump! He'll bump fists with Hunter before lowering his arm.

And ah. A thank you. he's never been good at these. For a moment, he looks a little sheepish]

D...Don't mention it.

[Ever. Again. Anyway time for a distraction--]

Hey, keep the staff positioned here, ok?

[And that's the only warning Jun will give before he immediately jumps off it]
