Where Do We Go From Here?
".....I see and that is all you have found so far?"
"Yes Banon," said Sabin, "Jules said that it was indeed Gesthal and he says he would know."
"Hmmm, I suppose he would," replied Banon. Sabin was a little surprised, "You actually knew of him, Banon?"
"Well yes I know who he is, in fact in was most invaluable to us," Banon continued, "you see Jules was an expert when it came to forming battle strategies and many of the victories we scored against the Empire were of his plan."
Sabin was stunned, "Then why wasn't he a general or something?"
Banon responded, "Well you see, he was also a master spy who could sneak into the Empire and find out their secrets, if we made him a general then the Empire would know who he was and what he looked like blowing his whole cover that is why he insisted to remain anonymous."
"Was Jules the one who planned the Battle of Mobliz?" Banon and Sabin turned around in shock to see Celes there standing in the doorway. Banon hung his head, "Yes...Jules planned that battle." Celes just paced, "I see." Sabin knew the look in her eyes; the Battle of Mobliz was fought on the Veldt and was a massacre for the Empire, the first real victory for the Returners and Celes was the commanding general during the battle. Even though she was now a Returner that failure would always be on her mind.
"Edgar or I have never met him before why is that Banon?" asked Sabin.
"Well, he wasn't a Dragoon Knight when he was with the Returners, that are why," replied Banon.
"Yes," Celes said, "he already told us that." Banon was a little shocked. "Well the important thing right now is we need to figure out what the Emperor is doing and where he might be. He would not be in the same place, he is smarter then that."
Sabin almost jumped up in the air with excitement, "Lets ask Jules, maybe he knows, he was in contact with Gesthal so maybe he knows."
Banon nodded and called in Cyan. "Thou has callest for me, sir," Cyan said when he entered the room. Banon said, "Find Jules and ask him to come here so we may discuss where this 'Gesthal' may be at now." Cyan was a little confused but nodded, "Thy shall depart now then, however where shall I find the good sir Jules?"
Banon just looked down at the floor and said, "Check the pub that would be the most likely place." And with that, Cyan took off as Celes started laughing. "What is so funny Celes?" asked Sabin. "The pub, figures a low- life like that would be there." Banon just walked away and into his private chambers.
"Bartender?" yelled the loud and obviously drunk Jules, "Another cactus beer." The bartender stared at him and said, "I think you have had enough, sir." Jules became irate, grabbed the bartender by the collar, and pulled him near. In his other hand, he pulled out a dagger and placed it against the bartender's throat. "You listen to me you bastard; I will tell you when I have had enough...GOT IT!" Jules let go of the bartender and he quickly went over to fill up Jules' mug with more beer. All of a sudden, a bright light filled the room.
"Ahhh," yelled one of the drunks, "close the bloody door." Cyan, who was not used to this kind of situation immediately, did so. He saw Jules at the corner of the bar drinking his beer and spilling half of it on his shirt in the process. As Cyan walked over to the intoxicated Jules he was wondering 'how could any honorable man do this to thy self?'
"Sir Jules?" Cyan asked Jules, and was given no response. Cyan started to poke Jules, "Sir Jules?" Jules finally turned around and laughed, "haha Cyan sit down sit down." There was no place to sit so Cyan just stood. Jules continued laughing, "hahaha that is why I like you Cyan you are a man of his honor and one who speaks the truth. Now what can I do for you friend." Jules almost fell off his stool when he finished talking but Cyan caught him. "I need to know where Gesthal is going next, does thou know?" The laughter from Jules stopped as soon as Cyan finished. He turned back around to face his beer and said, "yeah I know where he is going, so what." Cyan pleaded, "Where, where is thy cursed king going?" Jules looked down at his beer and took a big swig and said, "...Forbidden Island". Cyan was shocked; Forbidden Island was the small island off the mainland of Figaro that was supposedly cursed. Cyan quickly dashed through the bar and exited running towards the capital building to inform Banon. Jules just sat there and took another hearty swig from his beer.
"Damnit, fine." Jules pounded the empty mug on the bar table and stood up and started to head to the capital building as well.
Celes and Edgar waited impatiently the room as they waited for the test results. Finally the doctor walked in, "Congratulations, you majesties, you will soon have a baby." Edgar bent over and kissed Celes on the forehead, "Can you believe it honey, we are going to have a baby!" yelled an excited Edgar. "I know I am so happy," said a tearful Celes, "do you know the sex of the baby doctor?" "Well, I actually do, would you like to know?" Edgar and Celes looked at each other and smiled and Edgar said, "Yes doctor, what will it be?" The doctor paused and then said, "Well, it will be a boy. I will leave you two alone for right now, congratulations again." After the doctor left the room Edgar said, "well I guess we need to start coming up with names for the boy." Celes nodded and then smiled, "I have an idea." Edgar's eyes grew wide and asked, "what?" Celes just continued to smile and massage her belly, "I will tell you later."
".....I see and that is all you have found so far?"
