Things started to slow down in the camp. Everyone, except for the designated team was in camp wondering what the big deal was. Where they under attack? Did they need to hide away? As a cautious instinct, everyone got into place to hide from whatever danger that might have been approaching. "Calm down little ones. Everything will be fine." Tiski shushed them as they whined and growled. With a slight frown from them not listening, Tiski spoke in a much firmer voice. "Quiet down, now." They quickly silenced and ducked down as they had been told. The nightmare woman counted them off, and then crossed her arms and sighed. "Where in the name did Filo and Feena fly off to this time? Kaila said stay put and those two decided to run off as usual." She sighed, but stayed with the children. She couldn't go off chasing after them, and she was sure someone would catch them before they went off too far. "I saw him go off this way." "Alright, let's hurry before someone notices." The siblings started to fly off towards the edge of the camp where Kaila had left. But just as they took another step, Tyar appeared in front of them, causing both to jump back. "You've got to stop doing that! You're going to give us a heart attack or something." Filo frowned and landed on the ground with his sister. Tyar gave them a blank stare before taking a full form. "You shouldn't be out here. Kaila said stay in the camp. . . You're disobedience will get you punished you know." Both siblings looked at each other, gulping a little. "Go." If its non physical forms weren't creepy enough, the airy tone that it held would do. The siblings mumbled an apology before racing off back with the other children to avoid whatever wrath that might have been their consequence. Tyar merely nodded before disappearing again. When he reappeared, he was drifting near Kaila as he paced in anticipation. "I'm sure our Lord doesn't want to be greeted by all that pacing around. Relax." Kaila sighed and looked in the spot where the portal was supposed to open. Lan and Ran had not been gone for too long, but it still felt as if they had been gone for hours on end. He figured, the other guardian had to prepare himself to travel the Nightmare Realm. ////// ////// ////// ////// ///////// ///////// Enasi waved one last time before walking through the portal. The only one that followed was Harper. Going through, the rabbit gave a light sigh and looked around. From the quick scope, everything was fine - he wanted to be absolutely sure, even if he plant siblings checked. His eyes fell on Lan and Ran for a moment, but he stood by Enasi as Seishu walked over to them. His gaze fell on his own guardian, but before he could say anything Enasi took Harper's paws in his hands. "Relax Harper. You're in charge you know. And if you get all worked up, you know they will as well. I'll be back in one piece before you know it." With that, he hugged the rabbit. Harper couldn't help but sigh, though he did hug him. "I'll try not to. Can't guarantee I won't end up acting like a worried mother like you always have done." This produced a smile and a light laugh from the both of them. And with a final sigh as Seishu looked back at him, he nodded. "Be safe." Enasi smiled and turned to walk over to Seishu. Finn and Starla had already gone through their own portal. Harper on the other hand stayed until the guardians disappeared through the portal to the nightmare realm. He saluted them both before departing. - - - - - - - > > > > > > > > > > - - - - - - "He's gone through safely. All we can do is wait now." The portal behind Harper closed and he nodded at the small group. "Let's make sure everything here is taken care of so Lord Enasi won't have to worry about it." Crios didn't realize his tail flicking back and forth in worry, until Cho ran his fingers through it. "Relax," he whispered and turned from the group, "he'll be back safe and sound. Now, let's go. You have to make sure your patients and staff are okay, and I think a feast for Lord Enasi's return sounds delightful!" "Hm, if you don't mind Cho, I'd like to help decorate. Maybe add some flowers here and there." The chef beamed and nodded, taking Starla's hand and bounding off with her. That left Finn to himself, but he wandered towards Crios. He still found the doctor as someone to look up to, so he decided to ask, "May I accompany you? Our garden doesn't need to be tended to at the moment." He realized he could probably ask more questions about the Nightmare Realm and its Guardian in the process. The doctor didn't see much harm to it, so he nodded and walked off to the medical wing. The nightmares had not been attacking as bad as they were before, so his patients were few in number, and some were in for mere check ups that didn't require Crios' attention. "Hey, Rue, do you want to help Rasha and I clean up Lord Seishu's room? We were planning to change the sheets and have everything fresh." Rue smiled and hugged Inui. "I have to get some things accomplished first. To avoid hurting you guys and all. . . But maybe later!" He didn't give them time to respond because he flew off. Curious to see what he had come up with, Harper decided to follow after Rue- at a slower speed until it was necessary for him to run. - - - - - - - - Seeing the portal they created, Enasi noted it was much darker than his own. It was expected though. He braced himself, holding on to Seishu's arm as they walked through. Enasi's energy lowered and he made sure that barrier was still intact. The feeling wasn't pleasant, but it didn't make him that sick like it had made Seishu many times. But that was probably because he wasn't injured.
