Winter Solstice - Part 3 Part 1 and 2 -> here

And so they decided to let Ji Ho be claimed by Caleb to make it easier for Vlad to claim him back... and because everyone thinks Ji Ho hit the lottery with Caleb ^^'

And then finally, finally Vlad and Jeb made their way back from the Otherworld! But where are their shirts?

They ran over to the temple. Hopefully in time! Ouf! Luckily Genji was quick-witted enough to steal some time. He started an argument with Lady Demon about that Ji Ho is his bonded and it's not legal to steal him away from him and give him to Caleb...

Vlad: "What is going on here?" (Vlad and Jeb really had no idea what is going on here. They went over the fence to the Otherworld and hadn't heard of Ji Ho since they travelled to the Tomarang with the ship from Selvadorada.)

Saiwa: "Gods, Jeb!" *hungry kiss* Vlad went to the altar to stop this madness: "Ji Ho is mine!"

Genji: "Hey, Caleb. How about we two share a coffin?" Genji is very clever. He started the argument with Lady Demon not only for Ji Ho and Vlad. He wanted to hit on Caleb ;)

Now that Ji Ho's rightful bonded is back, they decided to make their bond official in vampire terms so no one ever will question it again and try to claim Ji Ho while Vlad is in the Otherworld.

Ji Ho: "Let's go over to the sanctuary and fix your eyes..."

And that's what they did.

They undressed and kissed.

Ji Ho: "Claim me."

And that's what Vlad did.

Outtakes

When I added Vlad and Jeb to the household during Ji Ho and Caleb's ceremony, Vlad spawned there and looked so sad.

Poor Lady Demon. The lucrative deal with Ji Ho is called off. But she will get a pretty penny for setting up Caleb with Genji too ;)

And finally Vlad asked Ji Ho to be his boyfriend. Vlad: "From now on, no one will ever touch you again." Ji Ho: "But I want you to touch me." ... *sigh*

So yesterday Ji Ho's horse was jealous because Vlad's horse was hitting on Kiyoshi's horse.

Today Vlad's Horse 'broke the pencil' with Ji Ho's.

And later I cought Kiyoshi's declaring his love to Vlad's... Are we going to have a horse drama? ö.ö'

Outtakes

We moved all the horses to Rider's Glen Jeb's horse Valerian immediately ran to the prairie grass to feast ^^' The others started to run around happily.

Until Diablo and Kiri began to display affections (= Vlad and Kiyoshi's horses) and Yang Mal (Ji Ho's horse) didn't like it - at all!

They took the ferry over to the Crumbling Isle. It seemed as if the castle was awaiting them.

Leander had told Ji Ho in his vision how to reach their crypt.

And there they were. The corpses of Wesley - Vlad's first love and first bonded. And Leander - Wesley's murderer, almost-'drowner' of Ji Ho, founder of Belgraves Institute, Vlad's almost-but-luckily-not husband, creator of the hell where Vlad's soul went after he died, menace of their visions and caster of that damn curse...

There are the two vessels under the wings of the demon statue! Just like the one Luci had painted! Are these their Soul Jars? Who set this up and placed their bodies here? There is even a picture of them in Leander's hell...

Ji Ho was determined to revive them - both. Was it because he wanted answers or had Leander poisoned his thoughts? Genji isn't so sure anymore if this was a good idea and even Luci seems sad.

Just when Ji Ho placed Leander's wand above the candles, Vlad tried to break through! He was forced to watch this until now and when he saw what Ji Ho was about to do, he gathered all his strength to stop Ji Ho - in vain... Luci took over again and Ji Ho continued.

Ji Ho and Luci embraced each other and combined their powers (like they did in the Lab a few months ago).

The wand and the Soul Jars started to glow and vibrate... and the souls of Wesley and Leander emerged from their Soul Jars back into their bodies...

'I believe it's meant to be, darling, I watch you when you are sleeping You belong with me. Do you feel the same? Am I only dreaming? Or is this burning (burning) an eternal flame?'

Eternal Flame - The Bangles

And this is how Luci and Ji Ho brought back Leander and Wesley from the dead (with Vlad involuntarily helping)...

Winter Solstice - Part 2 Part 1 is -> here

Night fell over the Temple and Lady Demon arrived with her client to claim Ji Ho. Since he's without a rightful bonded after Vlad went to the Otherworld without him. It's Caleb Vatore! Caleb: "You didn't exaggerate, Lady Demon. He's beautiful." Even Dtui seems to be enchanted by Caleb!

Caleb: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ji Ho." (Exactly the moment Ji Ho and Caleb touched for the first time, the lights went on! ö.ö And Lady Demon seems very pleased with herself ^^')

Ji Ho was stunned. And when he was able to use his brain again he regretted his choice of dress. (He initially chose this attire to scare off any potential client ^^')

They went inside to hear Ji Ho's decision. Genji or Caleb. Huh - Ji Ho started to think that maybe it is not that bad of an idea to try it with Caleb... Vlad still had 3 days to claim him back. And if not... Caleb: "I will treat you like a prince." ... he would treat him like a prince...

Ji Ho: "Uhm... ok - I guess?" Omg Ji Ho ^^'

Ji Ho excused himself to have a short talk with his friends. Jack: "Gods - what? Caleb Vatore? And he pays for you? Tell him he can have me in addition at no extra charge!" Saiwa: "Oh my, he's so handsome - and he's kind. It will work out, you'll see. And if Vlad doesn't come back - I mean, I hope he does - but ... it's Caleb Vatore!"

And so they set everything up for the ceremony.

Caleb: "You are so beautiful."

December 21. Winter Solstice And the first snow. This night is the longest night of the year and from tomorrow on, the days are getting longer again until Summer Solstice. This is my favourite day of all. Because it gives hope in the darkest of times. Without having to do or achieve something, the light comes back into our life. And this is my wish for you today. May the light come back into your life. Just like so. I know many of you are struggling. Don't lose hope and have faith in time ♥️

Rubyn, Genji and the Boys went to the Temple at Mount Komorebi where Ji Ho is supposed to chose his new bonded. Genji or 'a client' of Lady Demon... Someone who is willing to pay a pretty penny for a precious mermaid. And someone who is brave/stupid enough to make him his bonded. Mermaid's blood is deadly poisonous for vampires. Not many live to tell (Genji, for example). And even Vlad paid with his life for it.

Time is short, but Rubyn and Dtui are not willing to give up on trying to summon Vlad here to avoid this. Rubyn brought the pedestals and the meteorites and Dtui is casting additional spells. They still have time until sun sets and the longest night of the year begins and Lady Demon shows up.

They were hugging (to acitivate some bond magic...), casting spells and adjusting the pedestals for hours now. But of no avail... What if Vlad and Jeb don't find their way back?

Rubyn is at her wit's end. If only Vlad hadn't left his meteorite with Saiwa and Jack!

They gathered in the hall of the Temple to warm up and discuss how to proceed. Ji Ho: "I talked to Genji and I'm fine with being his bonded. This is the best solution. We'd still be able to be together just as Other Jeb demanded. Who knows who this ominous client of Lady Demon will be? She alone already scares me so much! I'm better off with Genji. We get along so well."

Dtui: "If this is your wish. Just know that once you tighten your already existing bond with Genji, it will be nearly impossible for Vlad to claim you back. *sighs* But we have no choice anyway, have we?" Saiwa: "But maybe - if Ji Ho choses Lady Demon's client - we could buy a little time. The book we found in Saarburg said it's three days until the bond needs to be completed. And if Ji Ho somehow stalls the 'completion' with the client, Vlad has a chance to claim him back. He's his righful bonded after all." Ji Ho: "I don't know if I'm strong enough to act up against a vampire and stall the completion of the bond with him. And I won't be able to stay with you then. He surely won't let me leave again after he paid for me and claimed me." Jack: "What a nightmare..."

They went back out again to try to bring Vlad here in time until night falls. But after a another few hours more without any success... Saiwa: "Let's stop this now. Dtui already worked herself to exhaustion."

And just a little later Lady Demon and her client arrived in a big limousine. To claim Ji Ho...

Sai and Jack went back home. There was still no sign of Jeb and Vlad. Neither of Rubyn and Ji Ho. Saiwa is worried beyond measure. And Jack is still deep in thoughts about Kiyoshi. What are they supposed to do when they have to live together as Other Jeb and Jack demanded? Jack and Sai are of no help for each other this evening...

They cared for the goats and went over to Jack's houseboat. Sai still has no room of his own and he can't sleep alone in Jeb's bed. It hurts too much to be there without him. And Jack can't sleep alone anyway. Saiwa: "How are you able to watch Star Wars movies today..." Jack, from his Star Wars world: "Distraction." They have the meteorite always close nearby to see if something changes.

And when the movie was finally over, Sai came back from brushing his teeth and Jack was about to go to bed... Jack: "Sai look!" Sai: ?

Vlad's meteorite started to glow! Saiwa: "To the ship, quick - oh my..." No time to dress. Rubyn finally found out how to teleport them back!

After the first shock, they were excited to see the others again! And that the teleportation is finally working!

Off they go.

As expected, they'd been teleported to Rubyn's lab in Britechester. In the real world.

Rubyn: "There you are! We made it!" It seems Genji and Ji Ho were able to activate the meteorites on the modified pedestal with their bond magic ö.Ö' It really seems a once knotted bond can't completely fade, even if 'overwritten'...

Saiwa: "But... where are Jeb and Vlad?"

Ji Ho: "Why are they not with you?" Rubyn: "Oh no..."

After Rubyn told them that Ji Ho will be claimed by a customer of Lady Demon or has to tighten the bond with Genji - should Vlad not show up as his bonded tomorrow at Winter Solstice - Saiwa had a breakdown. Jack: "Sai, come on. We need a plan. Stay strong - for Jeb, hm?" Saiwa sobs: "Gods, Jeb! Why did I allow them to leave! What are we supposed to do now?"

Next day Ji Ho and Genji arrived in Britechester to support Rubyn with her research on the meteorites to bring Ji Ho and the others back together again. Poor Rubyn is already working at full speed and now she's also under time constraints...

Rubyn: "What's wrong with these people? Winter Solstice is in 4 days! This is still work for weeks! I have to figure out which crystals to use and how this pedestal works and I also have to make sure you are safe! Gods! I'm stuck - I need ideas..."

She also showed them the setup in the yard behind her laboratory. There is already a second pedestal. Different to the one that vanished with the ship. Rubyn: "This will be the stationary one. If it all goes well, we will be able to use the meteorites to let you travel between the worlds. At least I hope that the ship teleported your friends to the Otherworld."

Rubyn called her collegues from Foxbury to gather new inspiration. They met at the 'Book Nook'. And while Rubyn discusses meteorite matters with her fellow physicists (without revealing too much to not put the Boys in jeopardy): Ji Ho: "If it all goes wrong and Vlad can't come back in time, I'd rather stay with you than being claimed by some of Lady D's 'customers' - prince or no prince." Genji is chuckling. Ji Ho: "What?" Genji: "Don't be stupid, Ji Ho. You could live a life of plenty. You are too precious to be a 'Laundromat Prince'."

It's late and there's a firework over at UBrite Arena. They went to the roof to watch it.

Rubyn: "Oh Ji Ho. I feel so sorry for you. We'll do anything possible to help you. Such a mess!" Genji: "Let's take this smiley as a good omen that all will be well in the end, hm?"

Ji Ho: "I was serious in the 'Book Nook', Genji. We get along really well and I'm so thankful you have me and protect me. I had a difficult past and I hate to get touched. But if Vlad doesn't make it I'd like to solidify our Bond." Genji: "Oh Ji Ho, I caused you so much pain I can't even imagine. I will never be able to make it up to you. And you flatter me that you consider this after all that happened between us. But I still hope Vlad makes it. You two belong together."

Ji Ho: "I'm not sure if I can love him." Genji: "You will. Sleep now. We will have a busy time here until Winter Solstice."

They took Ji Ho's meteorite with them to charge it with their Bond. And Genji was watching over Ji Ho's sleep...
