Excited, Lord Goyo's eyes went wide as he swiftly held up the black elixir. The elixir lacked any glimmer and was as unremarkable as a plain rock. It emitted a pungent scent and felt nothing like a typical elixir. Regardless, if the Path declared it edible, Lord Goyo would have to comply. He closed his eyes and popped the elixir into his mouth. The overwhelming scent surged into his brain, preventing him from swallowing.
"Swallow it," urged Jacopo.

Jacopo cursed, "Do you dare compare my blessing to filth?" Dropping to his knees, Lord Goyo managed to gulp down the elixir, suppressing his utter disgust.
Jacopo watched him retch, barely containing his laughter.
"Great Path..." Lord Goyo gagged. "The taste, it's..." He pinched his nose, retching even more. "It's awful!" "That's enough." Jacopo waved him off. "Get to work. You don't have much time." Lord Goyo stood, still retching and wobbling, yet he bowed to Jacopo before fleeing the scene.
Once he was gone, Jacopo couldn't hold back any longer. He slapped his legs and laughed out loud, eventually gasping for breath.
A phantom light flickered past him, revealing a voluptuous being with a veiled face. "What did you give him?" the being asked. "You're laughing like a maniac." "Poop," said Jacopo through his laughter. "I collected sGoathorn droppings earlier." He continued laughing. The veiled being rolled her eyes. "Stop laughing. Your father sent you here for a purpose, and joking isn't part of it. Don't expose yourself." "I know." Jacopo chuckled. "But every tI think about his reaction, I can't hold it in!" He erupted into laughter again.
"Stop laughing." The being glared at him. "Why'd you make him move and call for the Great Battle all of a sudden? Is the Jademora Empire ready?" "Oh, dear." A smiling Jacopo waved his hand, handing a glimmering scroll to the veiled being.

Finally composing himself, Jacopo nodded. "I'm not as cunning as he is, so I have no idea the reason behind this, but he is Father. His word is law." He then looked at the veiled being again. "Once you leave Yin's Void Aunt Lucille, you'll need to get to Great Historial Land ASAP. I can't hide you for much longer.
"Lord Goyo is stronger thannow. I can hide you for a while thanks to the path source Father gave me, but it's just a stopgap measure." "No." Lucille shook her head. "You're too young and too impulsive. I can rein you in if I stay." Jacopo gave her a side-eye and smiled bitterly. "You're keeping an eye onso I won't mess up Father's plan."
"Wuia Reincarnation Soremsias aren't easy to produce." Lucille glared at Jacopo. "Lord Goyoxis no Lord Gladwin and Quardion are fool.
investigating your case now can't just up and leave." "Fine, fine," said Jacopo with resignation. "We're only good kids if we listen to you oldies anyway." Lucille was speechless.
"We should go now." Jacopo slowly stood up. "I am the Reincarnation om Soremsia of Waitara Path. should lead the retreat and have Lord Goyo's followers leave Yin's Void so Father's plan can proceed smoothly."
Lucille wanted to argue, but Jacopo waved her off and tucked her into his storage He then rode his Path lotus into the void swiftly.
