For a second, nothing seems to happen as Kellus places his fingers against Arkain's temples.  However, there's what feels like vertigo for a second as there's the sense that they're both being pulled away by something.  That feeling is quickly replaced by a sudden force, though, and just as quickly both Kellus and Arkain are back, and nothing appears to have changed.<br/><br/>"That can't be...what are they doing?  Is she trying to reach us as well?"  Kellus' confusion is evident in his voice, but before he can voice anything else, he's interrupted by a small tremor in the ground.  Quickly backing off as something starts to push its way out of the ground between him and Arkain, he looks at it closer when it reveals itself as a giant snake.  Giving it quite a bit of room, especially when it starts moving, he's relieved to hear Jaku's voice emanating from it, although he's not sure what she could have done to travel back through the connection he was establishing with Azlant, especially considering how little time it took.  "You know, you'd think that I'd be used to seeing this kind of thing by now, considering everything else you've done that I'd never seen before."<br/><br/><br/><br/>Azlant looks over to Jaku in concern as her voice simply drops off, but he's too fixated on the light suddenly pouring from her to be prepared for her to grab at him.  Even more surprising is the fact that she is able to grab ahold of him so easily when he isn't fully manifested.<span style="font-style: italic">"Jaku, what are you..."</span>His voice cuts off just as suddenly as hers when she presses her forehead to his, and for the first time in a very long time, his vision blacks out.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Mmmphf.  If you're going to do something like that again, can you warn me first?  I can at least try to make the transition smoother."</span>Although the voice seems to emanate from the air at first, Azlant's glowing form slowly flits down before landing heavily on Gaean's back.  Whatever it was that Jaku did, it seems to have taken a toll on Azlant as he seems reluctant to move at all, as if exhausted.
