Meruin frowned. So that was it. She thought something felt off with her theory when she saw Liz fighting Chase. Well it was nice to know she was close enough at least.
"Of course Meruin is clever, I taught her," said Reina, with a hint of pride in her voice. "Although I must say I wonder how a young girl like you ended up with an elemental inside her. They don't usually like getting sealed.
"Oh, and it's impossible to control more than one Aeon," she continued, placing a hand on Liz's back to inspect the seal.. "Aeons are what make up this universe, and all of them serve different purposes. Having two of them is well, it's like trying to put water and fire in the same container; they'd cancel each other out. I mean, can you imagine Chase's Destruction working well with my Creation? Also, it's not just elements that allow you to reach an Aeon. Like I said, the highest form of any practice becomes an Aeon."
Straightening up, Reina smiled, looking satisfied. "There we go. I've improved your seal a bit. While I'm sure you never want whatever elemental is inside of you to take over, I'm sure you wouldn't mind the extra power. I've placed a sort of mental 'on-off' switch on the seal. It will allow you to control when exactly it can come out and when it has to come back in. The trade-off is that it's going to take some mental strain to actually activate the 'on' seal, so it while it won't come out without your consent, it's going to be a bit harder to draw out now."
Chase nodded, and her eyes flashed a brighter gold for awhile. For a moment, so did James eyes. Then it was done. The Golden Empress grinned. "I don't know why your brother placed that seal on you, but I imagine he'll be pretty pissed once he finds out it's gone," said Chase. Just like Reina, however, she added her own changes to his seal. "One thing: I've refrained from removing some of your abilities. Some where had to inevitably be destroyed, and all of the remaining ones have gotten weaker, but I imagine that you won't particularly care now, will you? Anyway, those that remain are abilities that are now completely your own: yours to use and abuse."
