[i]Enasi's attention turned back to the gems once again. All was quiet, but it was a comfortable silence. With a red jewel in hand, he swam back to the surface. "Hey Seishu-" When he looked back. . . Seishu was gone. The Dream Guardian spun around in the water to see where he was- and all of a sudden, everything went dark again. Everything disappeared again, including the gem he had. Once again... He was back in the dark.[/i] 

Those multi colored eyes fluttered open and with a yawn, Enasi sat up and stretched. It was no doubt that had been best sleep he had in forever. Enasi's messy bed hair made it evident. He looked around his room, and then at his hands. [i]'Was that...real?'[/i] Of course it was, Enasi just wanted to keep reminding himself of the experience as if it would erase from his memory. The guardian sat for a few minutes, replaying the beauty that he had witnessed. 

When reality settled, it urged him out of bed and onto his feet. With a small sigh, he wondered just what he would do. He could go talk to Seishu, but it seemed too soon to speak of the events that occurred. Instead, as he walked out his room, he spotted Harper and his trainees, as that being what they were demoted to, coming toward the door. A curious look rested on the guardian's face as Harper approached with his own quizzical expression. 

"Are you alright Lord Enasi? Just a few moments ago I felt this weird energy as I was going to your room. But it was gone a few moments you opened the door." Behind him, four ex-soldiers stood catching their breath. One of them, who seemed to be doing better than the other three, was Mado. There was a determined look in his eyes as he stood straight and held his head up. "Soldiers stand tall." Harper commented when he noticed some bent over. 

Enasi tilted his head some toward the comment. [i]'Weird energy...?'[/i] It didn't take long for him to put two and two together. [i]'So that...created an energy?'[/i] "Um, was it bad?" 

"Oh, no. I honestly don't know what it felt like. It wasn't your normal positive energy, but it wasn't negative. It's really hard to explain." With a nod from the guardian, Harper stepped to the side and glanced over at the four. "Their training has yet to be over, but the four did have something important to say." He crossed his arms and waited quietly. Each soldier gave a deep bow before speaking up their sincerest apologies. Each asked for forgiveness, and a blessing to become soldiers once more. 

Enasi gave a smile, though a little unfocused due to wanting questions answered. "With such hard work, and me being able to see such sincerity, I forgive you all. But see to it that you go through this training as a reminder of your mistakes. There wasn't much else he could say, so he excused himself to go to. . .well, check on the Nightmare Guardian. It was his job to make sure Seishu didn't try anything 'suspicious' while he was healing- obviously that wasn't the reason why he wanted to check on him. As he walked off, he could hear Harper commanding them, "High knees! All the way outside!" After that, the halls were silent. [i]'It was perfect. I wonder if that'll happen again."[/i] He walked swiftly, trying not to appear too eager to ask him about the wonders they experienced. 

The Dream Guardian would have made it sooner if he wasn't stopped by small otiose things. That, and he grabbed a quick snack from Cho. Because of the detours, an hour or so went by before he actually walked toward Seishu's door and pushed it open slowly. He smiled at Rue, and gave a nod to Seishu. As he went in, he realized he wasn't quite sure how to bring the subject into conversation. [i]'Soo... About... Yeaaah'[/i], was went through his head as he fumbled for a better start.
