Sitting in front of Zhang Qijie, Tazuna gazed into her ghostly, downcast eyes. The beginning of the Peacekeeper ritual was to have Tazuna clear his mind and allow himself to be vulnerable to Zhang Qijie's presence. Doing both of these things will allow an easier possession, and help minimize the risk of getting Default Time Sickness.
"Are you ready?" Du Fu asked, as he studied the Arctic Wolf.
"Hm." Tazuna hummed, nodding his head in determination.
"Very well then."
"Tazuna..." Kira whimpered quietly. "...please be okay."
"I won't leave you." Tazuna reassured calmly.
Tazuna deactivated his eyes, the moment they were closed. Connecting his soul to Zhang Qijie's, his entire body fell limp. Riku instinctively reached out and cradled the Arctic Wolf, while Kira tensed up from the sudden movement.
"T-Tazuna! Can you hear me?" Kira asked, his voice in a panic.
"He'll be fine." Du Fu reassured, kneeling beside the Red Wolf. "Your friend is just sleeping."
