The Time For Petty Bickering Is Over

It's getting more and more mysterious,' Xi commented with an uneasy look on her face. There was one other thing she had discovered before he woke up that she still hadn't shown him.

Her attention was drawn to a space beyond time and space in Jake's sea of consciousness and a tiny speck of light was slowly swirling in this condensate of spiritual energy. Upon closer inspection of this light, it looked like a glowing sapphire egg.

Jeanie.

Jake couldn't look inside his own soul, but Xi had no such limitation. This egg had appeared as soon as the Minmin was sacrificed. That meant that in addition to Xi, Jake's mind now had a second roommate. Except that their spirit link seemed to be of a very different nature. She hadn't told him because she was afraid of disappointing him if this egg ended up dying or giving birth to something else.
