And there was the test. Far from being a test of speed or ability, and how could it? He wasn't really here. Every test so far had been a test of his character. Pass or fail, he couldn't say. But the choice before him seemed to be one of choosing to chase power, or to go to those that he would use the power to protect.
His eyes flickered to the shadow dancing in the woods before sliding back to Bailey. Test or not he couldn't shake the words that David had told him. That part of her soul was here because she tried to heal him. Could this be her? Probably not, but the rules were unknown to him here, and he'd chosen his people over her before, the needs of the man. But over power? He knew what he'd choose.
He'd go to Bailey.

As blake approached, and extended comfort down to Bailey, she changed into the shadow, reaching up to clasp his forearm. It spoke to him.
"You wanted power to protect your people- why go for her, instead of that power?"

"She is one of my people and the one closest to my heart. The future I want for myself."

"That you'd give up that power for?"

"I seek power to protect my people and those I care about. Not power for power."

He nodded. "Very well." Blake would feel a shadow blade pierce his heart, and then- **************** In Baileys arms, Blake would jerk awake! The stone was now swirling....but calm, and Blake would feel sudden and intense control over power he never thought possible.

With a gasping breath Blake's eyes shot open as he shot forward to a sitting position, his lungs felt like they were filling for the first time.

Bailey jumped as Blake's eyes shot opened and he jerked forward, her breath catching in her throat in a distressed squeak as he sat up.
"Oh thank goodness." She wrapped her arms around his shoulders from behind, burying her face in his neck, her grip strong and fierce as she squeezed her eyes shut, tears burning behind her eyelids and starting to leak free.

"Are you okay? How are you feeling?"
He was more worried about her than she was of him.

"I'm fine." She sniffled, still not letting go. Her hand rested over his heart, needing to feel it beat beneath her touch. Hearing his voice sent a wave of relief over her ot the point she didn't know if she'd be able to stand just then or not.
"I thought you were dead at first. You weren't even breathing." Some of the anger rose up in her voice as the warring emotions took over. "There was just...nothing!" She really didn't' know why he was worried about her; of the two, she was just fine. Hadn't thrown up or anything.

"Which is why you risked yourself to try and heal me."
He frowned.
"I'm glad you are okay."

"I'm okay - we're okay," she reiterated, meaning both of them, but also the twins she carried. Their future. "I'm so glad you're alright."
"I'm sorry," The tears were still falling, and she hadn't moved or seen reason to. She didn't want to let go. "I'm so sorry. That is the last thing i ever want to say to you if anything ever happened."
Wait, risked herself? Bailey frowned, actually loosening her grip enough so that she could move and sit beside him, look at him. "Blake, I've done this before. You were there. I'll be a little weaker for a bit, but I'm not invalid."

"It's fine."
He wasn't sure why she was apologizing for what she said, but when she moved on to the other part he'd shake his head.
"In the ball, they said you tried to heal me, and part of your soul was in there with me then. And that because of it you were dying."

"Oh." Well that made sense why he was worried then. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, grimacing at the emotional overflow but not apologizing for that part of it at this point.
"That makes more sense then." She looked at the Dragon Ball with a small frown. "I tried to raise you at first, but it didn't work. I saw the ball react and didn't want to risk doing something to hurt you or complicate things." She shook her head, looking back to Blake with a reassuring smile.
"But I'm fine, love, I promise. If I'm dying, it's no faster than any other person that I can tell."
