Seishu chuckles as the Dream Guardian rolls his eyes at him. [i]'He can't exactly deny it though'[/i] His eyes narrow as the light from outside the door fall across his bed. [i]'Why do they insist on everything being so bright. We never get more and moonlight, and we see just fine. They move around on earth at night just like we do, and I've never seen them having trouble with the darkness. . . .'[/i] The Nightmare Guardian bellyaches to himself for a few seconds, ignoring the interplay of master and servant just outside his door. However the creek of the door opening further draws his gaze to the one talking to his counterpart. Sensing no negative emotions from the beast other than a faint distaste Seishu smirks internally. [i]'Looks like Hops has some guts. From what I've seen in battle, gutsy individuals exists here, but they are so rare. Most are scared out of their wits while they are fighting. It's quite a feast'[/i] He listens carefully to Enasi to make sure he relays what needs to be said. 

When the anthropomorphic rabbit looks towards him and questions his masters orders Seishu can not help but chuckle again. His counterpart seemingly ignores his mirth and once again orders the white rabbit off to the battlefield. The injured Guardian's brows furrow as his counterpart seems at a loss for words. [i]'Well that's new. He's always had a quip or jab whenever we've met during battle. Somethings changing in him'[/i] Moments later when the little fairy boy comes charging back in with a grin from ear to ear Seishu lets out a small “Hah.” and thinks [i]'He's not the only one. But at least with me I can blame the drugs. And who knows, it could just be the drugs'[/i] Rue looks at him quizzically and pushes the rolling chair close to the bed before hopping into it. The chair spins a few times until at last he manages to settle it facing the Nightmare Guardian.

Tucking his legs in Rue asks, “What's so funny Mister?” 

Seishu shakes his head. “Nothing Little Bite, I'm just become more and more sure that these drugs are going to be very detrimental to my image around here.” 

His head tilts to the side. “Drugs? You mean the medicines they gave you for your injuries?” Seishu nods and Rue's brows furrow in confusions. “What do they have to do with your reputation?”

Seishu raises an eyebrow. “Are you even remotely afraid of me right now?” Rue seems to think about it hard for several seconds before shrugging. The Guardian sighs. “Exactly. I'm feeling so good off these meds that I’ve lost my scary factor.” Rue shrugs again and smiles.

“I think you'll be scary again when you get your strength back Mister.” Rolling his eyes at the vote of confidence Seishu looks away and lets out another sigh.

His gaze shifts around as yet another Nightmare stumbles into their make shift camp. Deep in the moonlit woods, where the two worlds come together, the last supporters of the fallen monarch gather. The camp is quite, the feelings very subdued. At first there had been confusion, no one could find Master Seishu. Then Gin had announced his triumph and flows off towards the palace before anyone could question him. The minion looks down at his hands as he recalls the first sweep. There have been a few since their return to their own realm, but the first had defiantly been the worst. Those most powerful who were loyal to the “New Master” had gone out in teams, sweeping the landscape for those who refuse to acknowledge Gin as their leader. 

He hands shake as his mind calls up the smell of blood from the still injured minions and nightmares fighting valiantly to protect their faith. [i]'How can this be? There is no doubt now, Master Seishu is still alive. But what are we going to do? We can't bring him here to camp. Even though Gin has tried to take the throne, and will eventually gain it fully if we don't do anything, everyone who dwells in this realm would be able to tell where Master Seishu is. . . .'[/i] The violet haired minion hangs his head, cursing aloud. His small figure is deceptive. Kaila is one of the oldest servants of Master Seishu. He admires the Nightmare Guardian greatly, even keeping his hair in the same style as his master in his honor. Seishu had tried on several occasions to get Kaila to change it, but to no avail.

[i]'And that's something I will always love about Master Seishu. He gives us choice. Gin has always been so hard, an inflexible. Sure, this made him a great soldier, but. . .'[/i] Kaila's eyes are brought up by the sound of a great energy cracking. Is eyes narrow as the rift begins to splinter ever so slightly. Before the great wall a large number of nightmares and minions stand shoulder to shoulder. Each one with it's fore limbs or horns or whatever appendage they channel their energy through pointed towards the glowing wall. Coming to his feet Kaila walks towards the group. It had taken several hours to get the barrier to splinter, but that is far faster than they had all expected. A faint smile passes briefly across the minion's face. [i]'I'll take this as a testament to how much we long to see our true leader again.'[/i] 

His eyes narrow to the spot where all the energies are being concentrated. [i]'It's time'[/i] Raising a hand, Kaila begins drawing energy into his palm. He pours in more and more, his own energy making his arm ache slightly. When he's sure it's enough he calls out, “Aside!” and as one the nightmares and minions split down the middle. The path between him and the barrier now open Kaila closes his fist around the energy. The blazing deep purple light fires out of either side of his clenches fist into the shape of a sword. His hand holding tight to the hilt of the energy blade he charges forward. Those gathered around act on their orders given before the project began and Kaila holds back a scream as they fire their energy at him. The pain is great, but necessary, and with an almighty slash the splintered wall cracks open. Kaila stands before the breach, barely large enough for three to walk side by side, and not even eight feet high. His stomach drops a bit at the sight of the cheery looking sunshine beyond the gap at the end of a relatively short tunnel. Those who had been selected for the trip to the other side gather around Kaila, and as soon as he catches his breath he vanishes his sword and they all pass into the tunnel to world that holds their beloved master.
