Resting in the Office..

Khrona finally made his way to his office, now not in Chibi Form, but in a child-like state. He could feel a bit of his power returning to him, but he was still rather weak.

"... Dammit. I wish I could revert to my normal self already! Shit!"

Khrona also noticed that his body was reforming differently from before... Oh well.

(Omfg, listen to the Immoral Melody while Kuja's talking to Khrona. XD)

Kuja would have made his way to the outside office of Khrona "... This is where I sensed the powerful presence... Hmhmhmhmhm..."

Kuja knocked lightly on the door, flipping his hair once more, and awaited to see who would answer.

Khrona got up and opened the door, having not done that physically in QUITE a while, if ever, since he usually opened it with psychic abilities. He looked up to the man and narrowed his eyes "Errrm... Can I help you?" Khrona still didn't have his awesome psychic power back because he was still too busy focusing on reforming his body, and using his psychic abilities would not only severely slow the process, but lessen his concentration. He wanted to be his normal size and strength again.

Kuja laughed a bit, raising a hand to his face, raising his pinky slightly above the rest of his fingers and closer to his mouth "Ah, yes... I am called Kuja. I have traveled a great distance because I felt an immense power here... A familiar power that is called 'Trance,' and I wished to see just whom could have been using it..."

Kuja eyed Khrona up and down, noting his... Minuscule body. "... Surely, it wasn't you, was it?"

Khrona gritted his teeth "Yes, it WAS me, good sir. I am just like this because I was in a battle of epic proportions... When suddenly, I was overcome by some sort of power... Adn when I used it to its full potential, the strain was so great that I changed into a single cell organism, and for the rest of the time, I have been accumulating matter so that I can reform back to my original strength and size. SO DON'T JUDGE ON LOOKS." Khrona puffed out his cheeks, running over to his desk and pouting.

Kuja took the liberty of entering the office, standing right in front of the desk "... So, you were the one who achieved Trance? I see... If it drained that much of your power, you must be impeccably strong... How quaint."

Kuja flipped his hair, before continuing "You see, Trance is induced by a powerful surge of emotions... So long as anything has emotions, it can achieve Trance... or rather, anything associated to THIS world..."

Kuja turned his back to Khrona, seeming as if he were about to go off into a long and unnecessary explanatory state, saying things that Khrona didn't ask for "The Trance is a state of strong emotions, as I said before, able to break the limits of your original power... a Limit Break, one would say. Your untapped and untold powers come forth for a period of time, and you may do as you please with them... But if you have no emotions, or are going through emotional turmoil... You cannot achieve Trance..."

Khrona could see that Kuja knew a lot about this Trance... And Khrona needed to know all he could about it. "Well, sir Kuja... One, why are you telling me all of this? And also, I have another question about Trance... How long is it supposed to last?"

Kuja turned his head, grinning deviously, staring at Khrona from the corner of his eye "Ah, yes. I am telling you this because you are the first I have felt to achieve Trance in this world... And Trance is a powerful thing... I merely wished to inform you... And perhaps ask of your help..."

Kuja turned fully around, answering the other question "How long? It usually only lasts for a short period of time... However... It can last for days... Or even years... Depending on how many souls you collect and the power of the souls collected... For Trance feeds on the power of souls to thrive. The more souls and the more powerful, the longer the Trance. Ah, but that leads me back to my earlier statement in asking for your help..."

Kuja closed his eyes, raising his hands in the air slightly "... I am in dire need of a certain power. Power that should not fall into the wrong hands, but be kept by me for safe keeping... The power of the Eidolons. Espers. Aeons. Totema."

Khrona pondered what Kuja was telling him, and he was liking how Trance directly went with how his village worked on the basis of collecting Souls... "More souls, huh...? It's a good thing I sent Misery and Despair out to get some, then..."

Khrona then looked up at Kuja talked about Khrona helping him... "Eidolons, Espers, Aeons and Totema? Hm... Eidolon... Why does that sound familiar...?"

Khrona snapped his fingers "AH! The Grimoire! It showed me the power of a Summoner! I have the power of Alexander within me! There are more, I'm sure, correct?"

Kuja's eyes widened for a moment, as he was shocked to hear that Khrona had the power of Alexander within him.

<Alexander... One of the strongest Eidolons... And he has the power to summon him at any time? Hmmm... I wonder...>

"Yes, there are more! In fact, quite the number of them... And they all can be achieved through the power of mystical gems or rare items... their power has been sealed within them, you see, and those who possess those rare items may summon those Eidolons, Espers, Aeons and Totema at any given time they please... And you can see that this is a problem within itself if some people just happened to... Stumble upon them, correct? That is why... I wish for you to collect the items for me. I would do it myself, but... I am assuming that you are in need of the souls for your Trance, correct?"

Khrona nodded "Yes... I do believe I need that sort of power... I need those souls..." Khrona pondered for a moment, then after a while, came to his verdict.

"Alright. I shall do it, then. I will collect the rare items for you, Kuja, and bring them back to you for safe keeping!" Now, it was only a matter of Misery and Despair getting the info... Oooh, boy... How was Khrona gonna do that?

Kuja smiled, giggling lightly "Thank you, dear Khrona... Your virtue shall not go unnoticed..." Kuja made a list appear, showing all of the Eidolons, Espers, Aeons and Totema, the items that summoned them, and where they could be located.

"And so, I shall be on my way... Adieu, dear Khrona..." Kuja would exit, heading off into the unknown.

Khrona was a little stunned that Kuja knew so much about the places of Vescrutia, as shown by this map, but... I guess that doesn't matter. It was a little suspicious, but not too much for Khrona to think about. He noticed that he had grown a little more during his talk with Kuja. He was halfway done restoring his power. "Well, better find a way to talk to Misery and Despair... Maybe, if I send a puppet..." Then again, their mind waves were basically one with Khrona's... So that if Khrona thought something, they would pick up on it without Khrona having to really use psychic power to send the information... So... I guess as long as Khrona was thinking about them, they'd receive his message. Good. Now, it was just time to wait...
