By the time Enasi had made it to the field, the clearing was empty. He could still feel the energies of the soldiers farther back. They were at a safe distance away to not be a threat, but then they were kind of far...just in case he was attacked. Harper was the only to notice, or more rather, the only to not trust such a distance and he was by the Guardian's side once more. It was a true testament to his role as second in command, and Enasi couldn't argue with it. "So...Further explain this [I]Seishu[/i] business." Harper said the his name and shuddered lightly; not in fear, but in distaste. Quizzically, the guardian responded. "What are you talking about?" The rabbit further explained. "I have no doubts in your faith Enasi, but to trust a nightmare- the guardian at that, is dangerous. I just don't want you getting hurt. You're a beloved king, and no one here wants you dead... Unlike your nightmare friend over there." Enasi mulled over his friend's words and then nodded. "I understand where you stand and believe me, I'd much rather have things go back the way they were," [i]Well. . . At least stopping the war part...[/i] "But as everything happens now, I have no choice. Balance is the main priority, and you already know that-" "I know, I know. To keep balance the [b]both[/b] of you have to be alive. I understand, [i]Ensy[/i]" The guardian laughed lightly at the nickname he was given. The nickname had started by a good friend that visited every so often. Neither dream or nightmare, but a friend nonetheless- but that was irrelevant now. Knowing the guardian was probably stressed as it was, it didn't hurt to calm him some. "So what do you think? Heh, we'll make a bet okay? Friend or Foe? Which will come out of the rift?" It wasn't really time for games obviously with the situation so serious, but having a guardian with powers focused on the brighter side of things being unhappy was a problem no one wanted. "I think it'll be a friend." That was Enasi's optimism speaking though. He looked down at the lovely flower in his hand added on. "We'll see once I give this flower to the first that comes out of that rift." Harper was about to protest about getting too close, but he knew that wouldn't work. "Fine. If I win and it is a foe, I get the right to say 'I told you so'. If you win... I'll think a little more of those nightmares." The guardian laughed and shook hands with him. "Fine." His head turned as the rift began to crack. "It looks like we'll be seeing who won soon enough." Harper reached for his weapon, but was stopped by the guardian. "Peace. And you have to stay right here. Do not move until [b]I[/b] say so. Even if they look like they're about to attack, do [b]not[/b] move." It was obvious in Harper's eyes that the command conflicted with his instinct and morals, but he nodded. He had to trust the guardian if he wanted everyone to survive. The guardian breathed out a heavy sigh and walk toward the rift. Little by little the rift opened with Enasi watching every moment. He was still in simplistic clothing, being jeans and a one of the various hoodies he had. No one understood why he wore such earthly clothing, but they accepted it nonetheless. His eyes went down to the flower he had cupped in his hands gently. He didn't want any damage to come of it, not just because of its importance, but because of the beauty of it as well...even if it game from his counterpart. "Be careful..." Harper warned, only getting a nod from the guardian. Soon enough, figures all laced with negative energy began to emerge from the rift. There was definitely more than two of the nightmares... Making it harder to decide if they were friends or foes, but Enasi held his ground and waited for them to approach.
