Kaila was left in a pained daze as Lan and Ran looked at each other. [i]’This was not apart of the plan’[/i] Their thoughts echoed each other. Both of them, on opposites sides, held tighter to Kaila as Jentou yelled at them to run off. The brothers were sure that if they let Kaila go, he wouldn’t listen. Tyar and Tiski had regained their own composure, the former scooping up the injured minion before escaping with the minion. 
 
“We need to lose them before they follow us to camp.” Tyar’s voice reached the brothers’ ears and they immediately shot past them. 
 
“This was not apart of the plan.” Lan whispered to his brother, in need of a confirmation of what just happened. Ran held the utmost concern for the second in command in their arms before shaking his head. He didn’t say a word though. Instead, he lead the way in the escape until Lan fell in step. 
 
Jentou’s flash of light gave them enough cover to disappear into the forest creating a false trail to follow, before taking off to the skies when they were sure no one was behind them. Tiski continued to glance back at their commander, desperately looking for some sort of reaction, but he was too far in shock at the moment. “...We need to land away from the camp. We can’t take him there. Not like this.” Tiski bit her lip, feeling the waves of pain coming off Kaila. She wasn’t sure how to comfort him after what just happened and in the thick of it all, Tiski couldn’t help but think that the plan worked. Sure, Kaila wasn’t the one taken, but with him safe and sound, the camp was less likely to fall in utter panic. Speaking of the camp, she looked ahead where Tyar and the minion had already went. “I’m going to check on the camp. They'll probably have questions. I’ll be back as soon as I can.” Without waiting fr a response, she sped off into the camp.
 
Kaila was left with the brothers for the time being. Quietly, they landed in the forest a little ways away from the camp. The second was set against a tree and the brothers sat in front of him. Lan and Ran looked at each other, knowing that the bond between family was a strong one. Neither could bare the idea of them being in the same situation. 
 
“He’s tough.”
 
“Yeah… Jentou knows what he’s doing. You just have to-”
 
“Have to have a little faith.”

Enasi could feel the sudden energy shift almost as soon as it happened. Instead of putting a barrier around Seishu, he shielded Rue and Rasha, letting the negative energy flow around the room. He shielded himself from most of it, unphased by the minor nicks he does receive. The guardian had already planned to get Crios, but he couldn’t leave Seishu in the state he was in. With one glance at Rue, the fairy was already taking off out the door. 
 
“Rasha, get behind me for a moment.” 
 
The minion had turned into his cat form some time in the process of being knocked off the bed. He flinched at the sound of Seishu’s cries, but scurried behind his guardian, into a protective bubble.
 
Enasi moved closer, pulling Inui into a sitting position as gently as possible. “Inui. Inui, dear. I need you to focus for me. All that negative energy you’re creating- Focus for me. All that negative energy of yours, I need you to focus and channel that into your guardian okay?” In between sniffles and hiccuping cries, Inui nodded and took Seishu’s hand in his. While Inui shakily shared his energy with the guardian, Enasi rested a hand on Seishu’s forehead. “I know you’re hurting Seishu and I can’t bare to imagine how much you miss your home. As painful as it is, the closest you have to home right now is Inui and I need you to focus on him and relax.” 
 
It didn’t take Crios long to get the news and hurry into Seishu’s room, with fire at his feet. Before he could move too far into the room, he was stopped by a barrier of positive energy. The guardian didn’t look up, but he held a finger up to have the doctor wait. While Crios did obey the command, his tail thrashed back and forth a little impatiently. The fox watched as Enasi wiped Seishu’s tears and kissed his head. He didn’t say anything, and yet the negative energy flowed from one guardian to the other. 
 
Enasi sighed and rested his head on Seishu’s hand for a moment before sitting back up and looking at the doctor. “I need to get him to the human realm.” With a shake of his head, the guardian spoke a bit more frustrated. “I need to get him [i]home[/i].”
 
“You are doing the best you can sir.” Crios whispered, unsure of what to say. 
 
“And yet it’s not enough.” Enasi ran fingers through his hair and he groaned. “I’m going to take him to the human realm. I’m going to take Inui as well. We’ll stay there for a few days.” At this point, he knew Harper was approaching and could hear everything the guardian was saying. “I should have done this a lot sooner, but I was being selfish. I shouldn’t have them cooped up here where they’re uncomfortable. At least in the human realm there are no overbearing opposing energies to deal with.” As Harper stepped inside, Enasi looked at him. “I don’t plan on taking a whole squadron to watch over us while we’re out there, but I don’t mind you and the siblings checking in or occasionally checking the area. The less positive energy Seishu and Inui have to worry about, the better.” 
 
Harper had straightened to attention towards the seriousness in his guardian’s voice and he nodded quickly. He wasn’t sure if the guardian was done, so he refrained from mentioning the readied portal. Inui at parts looked a little ready to protest, wanting to say that he was okay and comfortable, but he bit his tongue. He knew what Lord Enasi meant. He had to constantly bubble in his energy and be careful around the others ever since the positive barrier around his energy had been lifted. 
 
Rue quietly fluttered to Rasha, unsure of what to say. As much as he wanted to go with them and be by their sides, he knew that it was best for Lord Seishu’s health to get better. He was also aware of every time Inui had to refrain from accidentally hurting a minion, or vice versa. Giving him the freedom to stretch out freely would be good as well. Without thinking, the fairy quietly willed some of his own energy into his guardian, seeing the stress building in his expression as he stood. 
 
Enasi’s eyes softened a little at the act and he patted Rue’s head. “Thank you.” He sighed and relaxed a little more. “Whenever you’re ready doctor.”

“You idiots!” Gin growled out and the minions not out cold scrambled to detain Jentou. “...Useless.” He spat out towards the ones that were. Fortunately for them, Gin was too preoccupied with his new minion to enlist any sort of punishment on them. Instead, his sharp nails lifted Jentou’s face, piercing his cheek to draw blood before chuckling. “Jentou… I see you’ve come crawling back. Realized what side would be better for you in the long run?”
