Mojo nodded calmly, floating towards the district Voila had spoken of.
"A common tale, especially for those of us who were made within the last year or so before things changed. I was... granted, a certain degree of autonomy and independent thought, due to the task my..."
Mojo trailed off, considering.
"Anyway. Between the task I was meant to do, and that I had a good sum of years groomed to that task, there was a bit less confusion on my part. Just more... unpleasantness."

She nodded. “Some of the ones that were with us on our journey in the last twenty years shared similar sentiments to hard times with their makers.”
She couldn’t fathom what he had experienced. She could have been considered fortunate to some but she didn’t think any majin should result to any level of oppression just the same.

"Yes, unfortunately, such tales are more common than one would expect."
Mojo would hum lowly in thought.
"Quite a few ended up with better folks though. I've met a few that are even still with them after the change in us, because they were treated kindly and sometimes even familial."

Voila paused him for a moment and went to a shop she flashed what might have been a recipe and was pointed to a box. She nodded her thanks and began using her telekinesis stone to lift it and have it follow her. Before returning back to Mojo to continue their conversation.
“What might that be on your lap?” She pointed to Miji.

Mojo blinked, eyes casting down to Miji.
"Ah. This is Miji. I came across a rather powerful magical artifact, and so Miji was formed of me due to interacting with it. They are... at least reactive to the outside world, enough to lash out if feeling threatened, but otherwise have not changed from this form since their creation. As they are a part of me, I keep them nearby and watch over them constantly."
Mojo's free hand would move to gently pat Miji's form.

She looked at it wondering if it’s like a child and this Majin birthed it? She already met one odd majin creation this maybe another.
“I met a majin which was created in a similar manner for a lonely old man. Not like us but by… Dragon Balls.” Now she wasn’t sure what exactly those were but her memory serves that this was the name she was given.

Mojo nodded.
"That sounds accurate. The Dragon Balls are immensely powerful magical artifacts. While as a set they are exponentially more powerful then a single one, even one Dragon Ball is still stronger then most any single magical object you come across. Someone using the 7 to make a Majin is... not something I had heard of before, but considering the power of the objects in question? I am not surprised at all."
Mojo kept floating along quietly for a moment.
"Truly the universe is a wondrous and mysterious place, for such things to exist within it. Eventually I will leave Plant and keep exploring it for myself, see what I can find and learn."

Voila heard his words and paused without meaning to stare for as long as she did she looked up at the sky.
“I never thought of it like that.” She looked back down then brought her hands into view of herself. “I just thought, I exist and so it does too?”
This was a matter of fact but Mojo’s description brought a point of view to her logic. Distances between stops were not close and that left vast and empty space between each point. Stars were suns and some planets or even whole galaxies and maybe other things. The kinds of life she had already visited started to become perspective. Some may never leave their one planet, and they may never see the full wonders of that planet. Their worlds are so small, and that’s fulfilling to them, that’s happiness. And yet here she was simply riding passenger and making brief stops without understanding much at all.
“Hm…” she concluded after her moment of enlightenment. “I like your point of view… it’s insightful.”

Mojo had stopped when Voila had, as she seemed lost in thought. Listening to her, Mojo's smile widened a small amount.
"That may be due to my own journey of the last 2 decades. I experimented with many jobs, did research on a lot of philosophy and religion. And I did a lot of soul searching and meditation. Still do. And through all of that I have found that when you really start looking, you start seeing the barest hints of how truly vast the universe is. How it operates. The secrets buried underneath that beginning view."
Mojo cast his own eyes upwards to the heavens, the golden orbs shining in the light.
"And I want to see it all. Learn about it all. And maybe even record it all."

Would that kind of life be for her as well? She rubbed her fingers together and kind of grounded her feeling in existence with her thoughts.
“I might consider what I want to appreciate in this universe.” She nodded.

Mojo would chuckle, turning his eyes back to his fellow Majin.
"That is the beautiful thing of our freedom, Voila. We can do as we please. Can make our own choices, have our own thoughts. Only thing I can think of is to ensure whatever choice you make, you won't be having regrets over it."
Mojo's smile dimmed.
"After all, as our choices are now our own, so is the responsibility for our own actions."

She nodded. “I understand.”
She wanted to ask further but she felt that was something his hard to talk about. She would just take his word for it and Majin to Majin she would take it to heart.
A finger went to her chin. “Do you enjoy what you’ve set out to do?”

Mojo's smile returned to normal at Voila's question.
"I have yes. Even with some odd occurrences, I have learned quite a bit, and made a few friends. Always learning, always improving."
Mojo nodded satisfactorily.
"I have no regrets for my current course. I've seen others consumed by regret for their own ill thought actions, Majin or otherwise, and have no desire to be like them."

“I like pranks and I like cooking.” She started. “Most of us were not sure if we liked what we did because it’s what we knew. I can’t smell but I enjoy the things I make because I made them. I’m my own Maker.”
She smiled proud of that and chuckled at that feeling. “Maybe it was I was made to do but it’s grown from that too. I have memorized hundreds of fine cultures and recipes and seeing the ingredients in real life has brought me glee. When a member of our crew feels homesick… a warm meal is a good way to make them feel better.”

Mojo nodded.
"Just because it is what you knew before doesn't mean you can't be happy with it now. A stroke of luck or happy coincidence perhaps, but not a bad thing. As I said, I came across a few Majin in my travels who still maintained the same roles they did, for the same individuals, as before the change."
Mojo twirled the staff in his hand once before leaving it as normal.
"I may have chosen to try and move away from my original purpose, but the skills still serve me. It is how we use those skills going forward that matters the most, not how we got them. At least that is how I view it. I have come across a few who so violently detest their old lives that they deliberately forgot those times and what they had learned."
Mojo's smile dimmed once more, shaking his head.
"I personally can't agree with that. My own past was harsh and violent, but I refuse to simply forget. It is still a part of who I am, and to simply cut away a part of myself for being uncomfortable is unthinkable to me."
