Sensing the teasing going on around his counterpart Seishu manages to disarticulate himself from the piles of clinging nightmares and minions and shuffle back over to the furs. Kaila immediately take up his hands and heals his guardian of most of his minor injures of love before returning to his brother's side quietly. Seishu gives Kaila a quick kiss before sliding back over to Enasi and slipping his arms around his waist. In a soft voice he says, “Don't let'em get to you. They're just jealous.” As one they all pretend to look like they are thinking and then in perfect unison the full team nods and smiles in agreement. Seishu chuckles at the sight and presses his forehead against Enasi. [i]'I should tell him that I still intend to leave as soon as possible. I want to get him home. . . .'[/i]

Another shot of energy races through the young fairy's body, the third in less than a minute. Once more his little wings accelerate and a sonic boom can be heard all across the dream realm. Minion and dreams alike look to the sky to try and find the source, however by the time they hear it, Rue is far gone from sight. His heart races, his breaking is more rapid than it has ever been. He sets his curve so that he does not have to worry about running into the barriers of their realm on any side. He can just keep flying. [i]'I am close. I can feel it. It's right there, I just need to reach out and grab it!'[/i] His wings pump faster and faster, the speed making them invisible.

Another spike and he lets out a gasp, unsure if his body can take any more. Down below the dream denizens hear the scream of his body cutting through the air and some grow fearful that something awful is about. Harper, out on his rounds, is stopped by several worried denizens, all of whom get the same response. “It's just a minion trying to find his place. There's nothing to worry about.” the rabbit man says to yet another frightened group of passers by. Looking up at the sky as he once more hears the noise, but like every other time he sees nothing. [i]'He's going to break something at the very least if he keeps moving at that speed. . .'[/i] he muses, continue on his rounds. 

However when he hears the noise coming this time he stops, his heart skipping a beat. In an instant that familiar sound vanishes. It doesn't fade, it doesn't die out, it simply, stops.” His gaze snaps to the sky, looking frantically for any sign of Rue. He can feel his fear building as he sees no sign of the little guy. “Oh crap. . .If he his something, or something hit him. There's not way that was normal!” He lets out a shrill whistle and a moment later Rasha comes bounding into view.

“Did you hear that!?” the little cat thing shouts as he races towards Harper.

“Yeah, I heard, or stopped hearing as it were. We gotta find him. Now.” Harper is already breathing hard, his blood flowing faster to aid in their next task. Rasha gives him a nod and like a shot both of them are off, prepared to cover ever corner of the realm to find the fairy.

Seishu opens his mouth to tell Enasi it's time to get ready to go when suddenly his head snaps up. His eyes narrow and lock on a spot in the distance he can not see. “No. . . .” His voice is low, and disbelieving. Seishu suddenly pushes Enasi to arm's length, his eyes staying locked. Kaila catches the expression on his face and immediately steps forward. Without looking at any of them Seishu snaps, “Close ranks!” and the unit guarding Enasi lock formation close around him as Seishu takes off. In for steps he is airborne, his wings whipping out with an audible snap. Once in the air he rises higher and higher, a group of his airborne troops coming in close formation behind him.

An instant later Seishu lets out a wave. Despite the danger to him, Enasi, and the encampment, he has to know for sure. Down below Kaila and the others absorb the wave, only the lightest touch of it landing on Enasi. It's barely enough to make him feel less than stellar. Flapping stationary on the spot he waits for the echo, and when it comes along with it comes an immense feeling of sickness. In a voice that sounds desperate for something to not be true the Nightmare Guardian once more whispers, “No. . . . .” Seishu's wings fold and he drops like a stone. An instant before it's too late his wings snap open and he makes a hard landing a few paces away from Enasi. The team kept the rest away as well as held Enasi from going to join Seishu, however when he draws close, his wings dragging on the ground, they take the unconscious sign and step away from the red head.

Moving in close to his counterpart he resists the urge to hold the male, his eyes down cast for a long moment. When at last he looks up the look on his face conveys all the emotions that his following statement encompasses. “Rue's found his calling. . . .”
