Well howdy do! Ims back and rip rip roaring ready to go! I wanna give two warnings. I am a total review whore. I will do anything for 'em and so fell free. All flames, well written or otherwise, are welcome. Got an idea on how I can be better or got a cool character? Lemme know. Second the rating might change waaaaaay down the road for some stuff. (Sorry there will be no smut.)

"Well Jack," Jignesh said with a small smile" First you will need to hear what I want from this exchange won't you? You can't expect to learn from me for free do you?" Jignesh said with as mile
"No, I think we can skip the talk and get right to the good stuff." Jack answered hoping to skip a boring lecture.
"Fat chance" Jignesh said with a laugh.
"Damnit!" Jack exclaimed
"Dashi has made many many wu."Jignesh started
"Thank you caption obvious." Mumbled Jack under his breath
"Don't interrupt me, anyway. Wu, he made many Wu and most of them worked well, but the ones that had a true spirit of their own have always had a more, ah how shall I put this, a self serving agenda." Jignesh said.
"So their evil?" Jack asked
"No not evil. We do not care much for good nor evil we care for ourselves and our own interests." Jignesh admitted
"So what are your interests?" Jack asked
"Well up until now I have been a seeker of knowledge. I wish to know all that there is to know of heavenly matters and have infiltrated the heavenly realms many times to gather information. Tactical plans, the history of life, the keys to life eternal and death immortal; but lately, Jack, I have been yearning for knowledge of life. I wish to have a body and a soul that can walk the human plane of existence. I wish for the knowledge of experience. I wish to be human." Jignesh explained with passion that can only be found in a being that has never suffered human hardship
"…What does this have to do with me? If you want to take my body in exchange for the wisdom of heaven then-" Jack started alarmed
"No no no," Jignesh cut him off "I will trade the wisdom of heaven in exchange for your help in obtaining a body of my own."
"So you're not going to possess me or anything like that?" Jack asked skeptically
"Possess you? A man with no fighting skills, no real friends or allies to call on, or even a family that will stand by him? I think not. No, Jack, all that I want from you is assistance." Jignesh said
"Um first of all. Ouch, that hurt. That was a bit harsh. Second, assistance with what?" Jack asked
"I need you to retrieve the Tale of Gilgamesh." Jignesh said
"You mean the Epic of Gilgamesh?" Jack asked
"No I need his scroll. While most know about his tale of the epic flood, people don't really know that he wrote a scroll telling of a land that remained under water as punishment from God for their hubris and their tower that they meant to reach the heavens. They where cursed to remain under there until they went sterile and died out, however a descendent of Seth was sent by God to save them." Jignesh
"Why would he send help if he was punishing them?" Jack asked puzzled
"Hi is forgiving." Jignesh said simply
"Well that was a nice story but that didn't tell me why you need me to get it." Jack said
"The descendent gave them a seed from the tree of life. If I were to eat the fruit of that tree I will have life. The scroll contains a map to its exact location." Jignesh explained
"Okay, where is the map?" Jack asked
"Only God knows now." Jignesh said seriously
"Well then there's no way I can find it for you." Jack said matter of factly
"You could if you found the guiding rod." Jignesh said
"Which is…?" Jack prompted when Jignesh said nothing more
"Mosses' staff." Jignesh stated
"You realize that that stick has decayed to nothing by now right?" Jack questioned
"Well aren't you just little mister sun shine. These are all small details that I will help you through if you agree to aid me in my quests for life." Jignesh said with a roll of his eyes
"Quests? As in the plural form of quest meaning more than one quest?" Jack asked
"Yes. After I get my body I will need someone to help me to become all powerful. Do not fear though. Once you have the wisdom of heaven your earthly foes will be nothing more than a mere annoyance. Will you help me Jack?" Jignesh asked looking Jack strait in the eyes with a pleading look
"Will I ever be good enough to take down Chase Young?" Jack asked
"In time if you listen, train, and study whole heartedly then it is a possibility." Jignesh stated honestly
"Hot damn! I'll do it!" Jack said his eviler nature coming back at the slight chance of revenge against the one who had hurt him so much
"Good. Now are you ready to receive the wisdom of heaven?" Jignesh asked
"Lay it on me." Jack said nearly bouncing with anticipation
"The Absolute Balance." Jignesh said simply
"Huh?" Jack asked confused
"You must stay at The Absolute Balance at all times." Jignesh said
"Balancing? That's it? " Jack asked shocked. All this fuss over balancing
"No not balancing, The Absolute Balance. The wisdom of heaven is the secret formula for a super being. To become that, you must be the complete balance of good and evil, brains and brawns, body and spirit, mind over matter and magic and reality." Jignesh told Jack
"It sounds like you just spit out a bunch' an old sayings." Jack said
"Jack it is not just a bunch' an old sayings. It is the recipe for invincibility." Jignesh said a bit annoyed
"I don't get it." Jack admitted
"This covers all of your bases so you are never let down or caught defenseless." Jignesh said
"How?" Jack asked
"Think of it this way; when you were without a home when Wuya betrayed you for Raksha, who did you stay with?" Jignesh asked Jack
"How'd you know about that?" Jack asked a little freaked
"I do keep an eye on the earth to keep up with what's going on with you humans. Now answer my question." Jignesh said
"Oh, well it was the monks." Jack answered
"Yes, then who took you under their wing to attempt to teach you true evil?" Jignesh asked
"Wuya at first, but she wasn't very good at it. Then I guess sometimes Chase, but that didn't go so well either." Jack told the blue man
"That is not the point. You were able to flip flop back and forth the two sides even though they neither trusted you nor liked you. Why was that?" Jignesh prompted
"I don't know. I guess they both saw potential to make me part of their team." Jack guessed
"Precisely! You are not good but, even though you lean toward it, you are not evil either. This keeps you safe when you need it the most." Jignesh said
"Like Chases magic and martial arts mix?" Jack asked noting that whether Chase was out numbered out matches or out manned he always came out on top.
"Exactly." Jignesh said. He was happy that Jack finally understood.
"So that's the big secret? What a letdown. I bet if this was a story the readers would come kick the author's ass for being so lazy and not coming up with something more interesting." Jack said angrily
"I am sure they would forgive her if the rest of the story was filled with action and love. Besides the writer would be a mere mortal. What do you expect from a being that can only use about ten percent of her brain power at a time." Jignesh said
"Well I still think this is kind of lame." Jack mumbled
"It is not the actual secret of heaven that is the big deal. It's more its restrictions that make this information so important." Jignesh said
"Well don't leave me in suspense what is it." Jack said impudently when Jignesh just left it at that, again
"Only a person that is not mainly good or mainly evil is able to master Absolute Balance. People like you Jack are destined to become all powerful. This makes finding and stopping these types of people top priority for both good and evil. To find a person like this you must get them to fully commit to wither one side or the other lest they grow powerful and kill all that wronged them." Jignesh said with a shrug. This was mind blowing for Jack though. This meant he wasn't born a loser. He could become really powerful. He was so excited but if Jiggie wasn't going to make it a big deal then Jack wasn't going to make it one.
"Huh. So are we going to keep talking or are we going to start training?" He asked
"We will train in the morning, Jack. Go and sleep now. There will be hard work ahead of you." Jignesh said taking Jacks hand and leading him to a "star". Then he pushed Jack down on it. When he looked at Jacked face there was a cute little blush on Jacks cheeks.
"But I'm not even a little tired." He whined
Jignesg snapped his fingers and Jack was out like a light
"Little pest," "I wish I wasn't so desperate to get outta this prison of mine I woulda killed him. But I have finally found some fool who will be easy to seduce. Once I do that, and train him, he will be my warrior on the outside world. I will have my freedom and then I'm coming for you Chase Young." Jignesh began to laugh manically. Jack didn't stir from his slumber.
