Long time since this was last updated.

Lots of interesting things in this chapter.

You put the title "bait" before the section on Jack. I'm not sure who or what was the bait. Was it Jack, the symbol on the floor, the loud noise, Lily herself, or the snake? Whatever it was, this new woman knows.

Did that woman just kill Lily? Like some sort of sacrifice? Or was she teleported. I mean, she vanished, I'm not sure what exactly happened to her.

Now who is this strange sneaky woman? I'm going to guess Selene. She probably figured out that Jessa tricked her and she guessed that Lily took him. Also, Selene hates Lily, so she doesn't mind being brutal toward her.

I would take the giantess over the snake 100% of the time.

Wait, did she just blow him a kiss that made him sleep? That's some fairy tale stuff right there. Haha.

I have a bad feeling about Serah. She seems pretty powerful. Almost Hilde level power. I love it when Hilde and Serah just walk into areas that are considered dangerous and they don't give a fuck, literally.

I wish I could know everyone's name in real life. That would be surprisingly useful.

Whoa, whoa whoa!??! Did she just shrink both of them and swallowed them both in a second? That's what it seems like. Now imagine Jimmy's perspective......mindblown!

So Jack's mom has the mark too? Is she one of these powerful women too? Circle of life. Powerful woman gives birth to guy. Guy gets in trouble with powerful girls. Powerful girls meet powerful woman. And the cycle continues.

Wait a minute!!! So Darla married this guy and gave birth to Jack. And this same guy happens to be Serah's lost love???? So Darla and Serah are with the same man? Wtf is going on here? Lol. Does this mean that Serah is like Jack's stepmom? Now my mind just blew up.

So Serah was looking for him for 2000 years and now learns that he died? Wow, that's awful. Now she wants a picture of Jack to remind her of her love, that's nice. Jimmy sees the picture of Jack, and he's like wtf. I can see why Serah gave him that stare.

Serah's into Jack's dad. Not Jack, but they look the same, so she's into both. But her love is her Dad. Got it.

This story just got even deeper. Now we know how Jack is special. I wonder what we will learn next.

I can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response:

In the Legion you have been introduced to a very young Serah who has just captured the Roamn centurion Tius Valerius. It appears as if tius and Jack shared the same father, but separated by two thousand years. Whatever happened to tius froze Serah's heart, and seeing Jack here now is having an effect. Power for power, Serah is stronger than Hilde - the girl is badass!
