Sayuri sighs as she walks through the castle towards the training area. Most soldiers saluted her as she passed. She could feel them watching her unsure if they could trust her. Though Liana had graciously allowed her to keep her position she knew it could be lost at any time. The two guards at the entrance saluted. Nodding to them she walks into the training yard. As she does her mind drifts back to the aftermath of the battle.


[center][b]Two days ago[/b][/center]
Hearing Gentsai's voice calling people to the plaza she runs off leaving Mina and her Earthland counterpart behind. Arriving in the Plaza she looks up to see her mentor. She listen to she speech intently. As she did so she her mind reeled in shock, [color=330099][i]Is he... Saying what I think... But all my work... No... nonononononono... NO![/i][/color] the realization hit her like a charging legion, he'd used her to get what he wanted. Five years of trust destroyed by one speech. As Gentsai flew off she whistled calling Tsuki down. She leapt on her back and shot after him, [color=330099]"GENTSAI!!"[/color]

As Gentsai flew away from the Capitol he could hear Sayrui calling his name. Seeing as he was already outside of the city, he turned around to see what Sayrui wanted. Already knowing what she might say or do, Gentsai commanded his legion to slowly descend to the ground and waited for Sayuri to arrive. Waiting to see what she wanted.

Drawing her swords she followed Gentsai down to the ground feeling a rage she couldn't put into words. She stands on Tsuki and looks up at her mentor, [color=330099]"What is this Gentsai? What about all the talk of how magic couldn't be trusted in Edolas? How The people couldn't be trusted with it, your words by the way. Was it all simple to get me to help?"[/color]

He could easily see Sayrui's rage before she spoke. Unsure about what in particular, he waited for her to finish before explaining it to her. [color=a36209]"Sayrui, this is the next step for people who want to move on from this place. Although Edolas is still here, it lost too much already to be the same as before. That is why I'm giving the people the opportunity to start fresh in a world where our lives can be better. It is true that magic can't be  trusted, but only in Edolas, Earth Land still has it and we could learn from what they know."[/color] He walked closer toward her in hopes that she would sheath her swords. [color=a36209]"I can understand that you might be upset for what I've done, but I'm doing it for our people. To many people have taken that throne, only to eventually fall victim to its curse. But we make a different by starting somewhere new, where magic exist and expand our own opportunities."[/color]

Gentsai eventually walked close enough to where Sayrui could slice him, but that depended on her. [color=a36209]"I can see your rage and feel it, I faced much worst. If you truly want to end this movement, then you can strike me down right now. Doing it now, could end this or do you not want to end? Decide now, Sayrui."[/color]

Sayuri listened to Gentsai's argument holding in her anger giving him a chance to explain his actions. They do hold a certain truth to them. She couldn't deny that. Her mind runs through what he said for several minutes before responding, [color=330099]"My issue is not with what you are doing Gentsai. It may be the opposite of what I want but everyone is free to make their own choices. No my problem is that you took my desire to remove all magic from Edolas and used that to further your own plans. You took my trust crushed it. Five years of loyalty rewarded with a lie,"[/color] looking at him she sheaths her swords, [color=330099]"I won't strike you down here. It's not my place to decide your fate. I may hate you with everything I have as Sayuri, but as the Commander of the First Division I must put that aside. Liana is the one who will decide your fate. Just know that whatever she chooses I will follow and the next time I stand before you it will be as the 1st Division Commander."[/color]

[color=a36209]"Then it would appear that I taught you well."[/color] folding his arms in front as he was also pleased that Sayrui sheathed her sword and sighed. [color=a36209]"True, I wasn't entirely truthful to you, but we wouldn't be able to create our anima if it wasn't for you. Your desire of not having magic in Edolas was what made me decide to choose you to help carry out that plan. For that I must thank you. Naturally, I would like to welcome you to Earth Land, but you'll probably reject my invitation. I know that from what you said, our relationship before won't be the same from now on."[/color]

[color=a36209]"Before I leave on my I suppose I should reward in for your help."[/color] Gentsai backed away as he unfolded his arms. [color=a36209]"I'm sure that you heard that the King and I were best friends before. But it was this same argument that led to our eventual divide. It was when my wife, Jane, was diagnosed with this strange disease that made her body reject any kinds of food. With the lack of nourishment, she was expected to die within the few weeks. That was when I found someone that should me that we could go beyond what we thought about magic. That idea was what this individual called the Meta, someone who could advance and transcended the usual understandings of the physical and magic world. For example."[/color] Gentsai raised hand as showed his hand as his flesh changed into that of the earth beneath him and a flower sprouting out of it. [color=a36209]"It is this same power that would of saved Jane, but she... didn't make it long enough for the treatment to completely work on her. The idea was to this power would replace her need to eat like any average person. Instead, with plant lacrima that was surgically infused in her, it would of allowed her to survive with just sunlight."[/color]

As he rose both arms into the air, the ground rose a bit and trees instantly grew around the two. [color=a36209]"With this, I could provide enough for us when we arrive to our new world and aid in any medically necessities. Our health would prosper and allow me to help others like Jane. But with the way things are right now Edolas, it's too late to fix things here. That is why we must go to Earth Land."[/color] He gazed off into the distant and pointed to the titan that was approaching the capitol. [color=a36209]"Earlier when I said that vessel was an extension of me, I meant it literally. It wasn't easy, but as I created it, I put bits of myself in it, that is why I trust it to carry us to a New Edolas. So it doesn't matter how many people decided to join me on this movement. There will always be enough room for those who come because I also see them as part of my life. That is why, even if you were to strike me down now, it wouldn't stop what I already put in motion."[/color] The old mentor slowly walked away and back to his legion.[color=a36209]"There might be more that you want to know, but time is short and I have to spread the news to everybody else in Edolas. Farewell Sayrui."[/color] Gentsai turned around as he jumped onto his legion and prepped it for flying.

Sayuri watched as her mentor displayed his power and listened to the talk about Meta. She nodded greatfully at the information. As her mentor flew off she saw him turn back. Feeling like it was her last chance she called after him, [color=330099]"Despite all this I am still grateful for you rescuing me five years ago. It gave me a place to belong!"[/color] she sat back down on Tsuki and had her fly back to the capitol.

She looked around the courtyard at the soldiers training and noticed that her Earthland counterpart was there training as well. She yelled corrections to the trainees that were learning to fight all the while feeling eyes boring into her back.
