The guardian had finished the story, smiling gently at the awed expressions and comments. He knew how beautiful it was, but seeing their expressions only made the world appear more fantastic and amazing than it seemed. The feeling of his downtrodden counterpart made the room go silent, and Enasi looked on with concern. Everyone's energy was lowered so he couldn't have gotten too queasy. Maybe the lovey dovey air was too much for him. He sat up as Crios walked forward, hoping that nothing was wrong. The sudden need to be alone with him made Enasi him worry a little more. Was this something about them?

Everyone filed out, though Crios seemed a little reluctant at first. He gently nudged the doctor out as he walked away, following behind Harper. "What's wrong?" He rolled the chair closer to Seishu, only to get up and sit on the bed facing him. He gently placed his flower on the chair before he sat on the bed. It wasn't a very appropriate question to ask, considering a lot of things were wrong at the moment. Enasi didn't know how to correct himself, so he stayed quiet and waited for an answer. When Seishu finally speaks, Enasi gives a sympathetic look to him. He completely understood the worry he felt not seeing his own minions. He could only imagine how it felt considering he had never been away from them for so long, but he worried over them constantly as it was. It seemed like torcher to not see them at all.

The guardian reached over and rested his hand over Seishu's gently. "You need them, just as they need you. Especially with the things happening recently. I won't deprive you of that. But... it will be a dangerous feat." He assumed that's why he wanted him to tag along. Enasi bit his lower lip lightly in thought. Moments of silence had passed as Enasi sat looking down at their hands. "Two days." He finally said, then looked into his eyes. "Give us two days of preparing and then I'll take you over there. How does that sound?" Enasi stressed himself only going, because he didn't want to risk his minion's lives. Being in his own realm, Crios wouldn't need to attend the trip. Rue amd Rasha could easily sit and wait for him and it was debatable if Inui would tag along. The siblings would listen if he told them to wait at home, and Cho would eagerly wait with food ready. But of course, then there was Harper. . . There was no way the rabbit would let him go to the Nightmare Realm only with Seishu.

"Give it two days and we will go. I give you my word." Enasi gave a reassuring smile.

- - - -

"What do you think they're talking about?" Inui looked between Rasha, the siblings, and Rue. They all gave shrugs and looked between one another. Rasha seemed to be the only one that could fantasize about the best.

"Hm, hopefully they're just in their-" He paused when Finn gave him a look to 'watch what he said'. Rasha then cleared his throat and finished. "Cuddling and being cute." Rue and Inui looked at each other, a little curious as to what the shapeshifter was going to say at first.
Notice: When I wrote off the one character leaving the crew...make that both of them. I can't seem to reach Empire. So I'm just going to make that one official.

*Important Announcement:*
Hi guys!

'nother Announcement:
You can control the crew and the ship and the captured people below deck, just not the enemy captain. And don't blow up the ship... At least not yet.
'Hehehe, so baby brother has a new toy to play with? Well no fair, I want one too! No...I want his. He doesn't even know how to play with him!' The smaller demon grinned and giggled mischievously as he walked through Hell. In midst of his walk, he paused realizing that if he went and told, everyone would be at that toy's throat before he could play with him. That wouldn't be nice at all. 'Hm, I don't want to share. Not at all. The direction he turned was away from his 'family'. Now he had a slight advantage over the rest of them for a short period of time. And with that time he planned on finding an opening of opportunity.

Aoba rubbed his face and relaxed as the heated faded from his skin. He wasn't burning up, but his cheeks were still a slight shade of red. "Ready when you are." Aoba watched as Kuro's wings spread. His eyes wandered over the dark wings in awe. "Ooh." The last time he was able to see them, he was. . . A little preoccupied with his own affairs. But now he got to see what he meant by the resembling bay wings. It was plain to see. "Can I-" His hand pulled back, and he fell silent as Kuro grabbed him.

No later, Aoba was looking down at the world as he flew. It felt so different from his own flying. At first, he didn't like the dependent feeling it gave him. Aoba could fly on his own, but then again, he couldn't disappear just as Kuro stated before. So, he relaxed and watched all the scenery go by. It made him realize they really were out in the middle of nowhere. Just as promised, the flight was short and they ended up in some dark alley.

It was fairly creepy, so when Kuro told him to take the lead Aoba happily did so. He walked down the road going past some houses. There were a few people who were resting outside, so they'd pause when they saw the two walk by. "Why do they seem like they don't like us?" Aoba whispered softly as they hit the main road. The day was growing dim so less people were out and about like when they first were out. Aoba was still fairly tired so he decided not to take all day for his search. The two went into the second small restaurant that Aoba saw. The first one didn't seem well put together... or clean- even if people were there.

Aoba walked in and looked around. Not many people were in, but with the number of people, a soft murmur was the sound of their background noise. "Are we taking the food home again?" He asked as they went through the door. He stepped to Kuro's side, letting him lead from there.
Mug that had to be one of the cutest gifs from these colorful posts you guys do.


“Not a bad throw. Not center fielder material but I think you'd make a good defender at third in my opinion.”

Ace laughed, thinking about trying it again to prove him wrong, but she let the thought go only moments later. She watched the chain events from Jasper freaking out to Lesley...well, she didn't exactly know what Lesley was doing. Seeing Jasper panic and get entangled by the branches made her step forward. The trident was fairly sharp, so it could help out. But Inadi had rushed to her aid and they ended up having one of those 'awkward moments' Jasper seemed to get herself into with the guys. This time, there just wasn't a kiss at the end of this moment. Instead, it ended with the two being well, awkward. Hence why it was an 'awkward moment'. "How cute." Ace teased lightly and then smirked. "It seems like Jasper has a few knights in shining armor for her." But when Lesley hooded and scratched out, even she couldn't figure out the meaning for that.

Ace was going to continue creating masks on the trees until it seemed that finally, they had all come to an agreement on her stopping. "Hey, I was given stuff to use so I thought it was okay..." She spoke defensively as the rabbit frowned at her. "Apologize to the trees?" She looked around, noticing the one with her markings on them and...red eyes. "Oh good, I'm not crazy. I did see red eyed trees before."

"Uhm, sorry about scratching you earlier... sir. We were just wondering if you knew where the witches hide out is?"

Well, Lesley apologized for her. Ace was going to apologize but, the pink haired person beat her to the catch. That seemed fair enough. At least there was an apology, right?

“Hey redhead, mind stepping back from the trees? I don’t think they’d like to see you right now."

Ace whistled lightly and casually stepped back. "Whoops...?" She was only trying to help. But obviously that wasn't working in her favor. "Well..." She handed the mermaid back her trident, and took to standing back as she was told. Ace stood with her hands behind her back and looked around the forest, staying quiet and out of the way. No need to get them into more trouble, right? And she kind of wanted to see if that cat was around.

Out of nowhere, the tree began yelling at them. Even Ace jumped at the unexpected yelling. She listened to the grumpy tree, and every time it glared at her, she put her hands up in surrender, showing that she returned the trident. "Chill out tree, I'm not going to do it again." Ace didn't think being called flame head was much of an insult, so she merely shrugged it off. "I agree with Riley. Let’s get out of here before he starts spewing more moss..."

“Everyone, I think we’re better off navigating through the blocked paths where the treeants can’t follow us. Let’s scout around for less dangerous routes, shall we? And for carrot’s sake, don’t burn anything down!”

"I wasn't going to." Ace mumbled towards the burning things down comment. She wasn't insane. Why would she start a forest fire abs kill everything? That would have been a dumb idea. Ace followed the guides through the blocked paths. It was a treacherous feat if one wasn't careful. Twice had the tree branches smacked her, once on her arm, leaving a red mark and another on her rear. The second caused a more noticeable 'ow', though it was out of surprise and not really pain- not saying it didn't hurt. Was the dose to be karma because a tree was upset? She merely huffed, as she had a difficult time getting through the branches without tearing them apart. To make matters worse, it started to rain.

Luckily, Harper became her saving grace and cut through the branches. She followed behind him until they were in a clear enough area to see a house. As Harper suggested going to the random house in the middle of the forest, Ace laughed. "Random house in the middle of the dark forest? That doesn't sound very off putting at all. Tch, but I'm not staying in the rain so, might as well!" So, without further questioning she walked toward the house. She could only imagine what was in the house. It even made her pause for a second. She may have been slightly crazy, overly optimistic, and maybe a little reckless, but she wasn't that dense.

"Hmm, dark creepy house... Now, I'm not so sure. Up close, it's kind of creepy. Just a tad. . ." She crossed her arms and eyed the house, waiting for everyone else to catch up. She wasn't about to run in by herself and possibly get killed. She was still young. She had a life to live still.
"Aw, how cute." Enasi smiled as Rue kissed Inui. He didn't even mind the comment Rue made about him. With a slight cough, the energy in the room died down. Everyone seemed to shift into a more comfortable seating to listen to the tale. Enasi caught Seishu's glance and gave a subtle nod, letting him tell the story. Everyone's reaction was just as expected. The trio listened with wide eyes of awe. Finn and Starla were leaning against each other with content smiles. The way it was explained sounded so beautiful.

Harper and Crios listened with more perceptiveness. They noticed the slight pauses, and how Enasi looked at the floor when he mentioned hiding from him. It was technically their fault, so they couldn't blame the guardian for their little mistake. But, when Seishu mentioned how Enasi bottled things up, the embarrassed look returned to their guardian's face as he quietly listened, reimagining every detail just as it happened.

"How lovely. Do go on." Cho was leaning against the foot of the bed, looking between both guardians with a slightly romanced expression, almost like how cartoons would have hearts for eyes. Enasi looked up, realizing it was his turn to tell, the story. All eyes were on him, and he gave a sheepish smile. Cho giggled and urged him on to talk.

"Well...after I-" He rubbed his cheek a little and continued. "Confessed... There was the feeling of being lighter than air. And I watched as Seishu flew around happily. He's always so relaxed high up. I was fine with watching, but he decided against it. So I flew with him in the starry-"

"You can fly Lord Enasi!?" Rue and Rasha perked up in excitement.

"You really must show us sometime!" Cho chimed in with a smile. Harper nodded his agreement, and Crios looked rather intrigued. After learning that the guardian could do so much with his energy in the pool, he was sure an aerial experience would be breath taking as well. Rue was especially excited, wanting to know if he would one day be able to fly with his guardian. The thought had him tingling with excitement.

"Oh. Um, yes. I can. Don't you remember the last dream we told? I'll show you all one day." He nodded and then continued. "As we flew around, we began to sing a pretty little nightmare lullaby. And Our World lit up in a chorus of beautiful voices and tunes to accompany the song. It was very lovely." He paused, humming a few parts of the song before continuing. "And as the song ended, everything began to face into a soft echo. The stars dimmed and everything faded. And. . . I kissed his cheek and I woke up."

Enasi blinked and gave a slow nod telling them the story ended.
With a few sighs and groans Aoba rolled to his feet and went off to help Kuro once more. It wasn't too difficult of a task, as Aoba stood with his feet under the gate he watched Kuro. He admired him work so diligently. Well, at first he did. Then he found himself staring over the male's glistening form as he worked on the gate. When he realized he was staring, Aoba blinked and looked back at the gate. Not much later, Aoba was pulled away to watch the gate close. "Great! It works. We finished!" He clasped his hands together in delight.

He couldn't help but laugh gently as he was hugged. Then he squirmed out of Kuro's grip with a playful look of distaste. "You're all sweaty." He smiled toward the kiss being used to it by now. When he was let go, Aoba stared at the setting sun and smiled. "How nice." His attention turned when Kuro mentioned baths and he nodded quickly. "Yes, that sounds like a wonderful idea. My shirt feels gross." He tugged at the collar of his shirt and walked toward the house. Since he wasn't taking a full bath yet, he went to his room to do a quick wash up.

He looked at the bag of clothes and decided to put them away neatly. "Alright Kuro... I think I'll settle with this." He had taken his shirt off to let it air off and splashed himself with water. As he walked back down the stairs he rebuttoned his shirt and looked for Kuro. "Ready when you are." He remembered the way to the town, but he didn't know anything about a shortcut of course, so he waited for the demon.
Enasi spent a few moments admiring the flower happily. When he realized everyone had gotten silent, including Cho's melodic tunes, he looked up curiously. His eyes were met with Seishu walking forward, and he gave a small pout. "You should be rest-" Before he could finish, Enasi found himself being pulled out of his seat and closer to his counterpart. Automatically, his hands rested on his shoulders to keep his own balance after being pulled close. Seishu's smile produces a gentle one from Enasi. He started to respond to the good morning, but instead ended up being kissed. The kiss was light and sweet, and Enasi didn't mind it at all, even returning it quickly.

It was the various eyes on him that made his cheeks turn a light shade of red. He looked off to the side after seeing their smiling and hearing them squeal in delight. He sat back down and twiddled his fingers together. Cho giggled and handed Enasi his plate. 'Oh dear, they're really excited for some reason. This is embarrassing. "Thank you Cho." He quietly ate his pancakes hoping the subject would soon change. That didn't seem likely as Inui and Rasha continued squeal in delight and Rue giggled as Seishu sat back down.

"How cute, how cute!"

Harper took his place by the wall, watching Enasi continue to eat with the blush on his face. Crios and Harper took their plates and began eating. Crios decided to be the one to move the conversation forward. 'Heh, I don't think I've seen Lord Enasi so embarrassed before. "Cho, as usual, you have outdone yourself. Even with the simple things." Cho was once again grinning with delight and smiled at the doctor.

"Hehe, thank you cutie!" Cho grinned as the doctor blinked in surprise. Crios assumed that Cho was being...well 'nice' in his own sense. The expression faded almost as quickly as it came and Crios had his normal calm expression. Harper chuckled seeing the usual calm falter for even a slight second. Starla smiled and looked at Finn who only laughed lightly towards the new air in the room. Rue was enjoying all of the cuteness going on. It was almost like the feeling was contagious.
Aoba watched as Kuro examined the spot. He stood proudly for picking out the perfect place- well at least he thought it was. When Kuro accepted it, Aoba smiled more. His nose wrinkled slightly and he gently pushed Kuro's hand away. "You know, time isn't that necessary when you're immortal." He stuck his tongue out playfully and sighed. "Tomorrow, today, yesterday, it's all the same. I'll get used to it though." He moved behind Kuro to watch him sketch out the design. His hands rested on Kuro's shoulders so he could lean over him to see.

He carefully listens to the instructions, not wanting to mess up anything while Kuro was watching. He didn't want Kuro having to help him with the task. Aoba was still determined to prove those angels wrong. Even if he wasn't with them anymore, he would prove to them that he could survive- even if it took a little help. His cheeks puffed a little and he nodded, moving off Kuro to begin. The angel followed him around as he made the holes in the ground, and just as he was told, he hammered the pillars in place and made sure they were sturdy. It was heavier than he expected, but with a series of pulling and dragging it while he flew, he managed to accomplish the task.

He moved more to the shade to watch Kuro cut the wood for him. He rubbed his cheeks, feeling them warmer than usual. He wiped his face and neck once more and then went over to start nailing the boards just like the little picture showed. He sat, humming to himself softly in full concentration. There were a few times he neared hurting himself, but he'd always move his hand only to receive a pinch or a scratch. He'd only shake his hand off and keep going. Aoba showed Kuro the pieces he was supposed to make, checking to make sure it was okay. After he did, Aoba would then go back and fix the ones he needed to or move on to the next.

It was a lot easier and work went by much faster when he worked with Kuro to build the pen. Constantly, Aoba was lifting his sleeves up and then wiping at his face. When he finally finished helping Kuro, Aoba sighed heavily and laid on his back in the shade. He breathed deeply and looked up at the sky. 'So much...' "Kuro...this is the last thing right?" Not even Aoba's determination could make him power through an entire day's worth of work. The little angel finally gave in and laid there with his wings sprawled out. He rubbed his slightly reddened face, still feeling the heat against his skin.
Enasi watched as Cho went back and forth personally making the pancakes for them. Seeing his minions doing what they loved was more than enough to put a smile on his face. Seeing the passion in Harper's eyes as he sparred with his soldiers, the concentration and focus in Crios' when he's working with a patient, and even Cho's delightful singing made Enasi a proud guardian. Enasi caught on to the tune and began to sing along. Harper smiled as he heard his guardian sing. He always thought of him as a 'shy' guardian, so to see him so relaxed was relieving. Enasi sang and the other three clapped and kept the rhythm. Feeling more than uplifted thanks to Cho, Enasi giggles and takes Rue and Inui's hands, spinning them around playfully in a short lived dance.

The staff had continued their cleaning, humming or swaying along. And once Cho said it was time to go, they all waved their good byes and watched as their head chef towered pancakes on his head. Rue and Inui were given the task to hold the empty plates and utensils to pass out to the gang. Enasi smiled and gestured forward. "Lead the way Cho." The chef grinned and whistled down the halls as he walked casually to Seishu's room. Rue and Inui fell on either side to hum with him, while Enasi and Harper walked behind them. 'Heh, I knew this would work. Now it's the matter of keeping him like this.' The rabbit lifted his head proudly and followed along.

Crios' ears twitch ever so slightly at the sound of humming from down the hall, and soon after a wave of positive energy that seemed to wither down the closer they got. The fox man moved toward the door, planning to catch Harper at the door. "Breakfast is served~!" Despite his energy being low at safe levels, he still had a ton of energy to keep up everyone else going. Starla and Finn eyed the pancakes, just as the little ones had gotten excited over them. "Eat up, eat up." Cho began passing out the pancakes happily, even giving Seishu his personally.

Enasi and Harper walked in at the same time, though as Harper followed, the strong and distinct smell caught his nose, making his eyes narrow and his ears twitch. "W-" The rabbit didn't have a chance to think before Crios walked past, yanking out the door by his shirt.

- - -

"Crios. . . "

"Calm down and listen." The fox crossed his arms as the rabbit tapped his foot in irritation. "Listen for a second!" He growled lowly to get his attention. With a sigh, he started to explain. "First. Yes, but I've been told they didn't go very far. I'm sure Rasha wouldn't even be alive if that happened. Second, as much as I couldn't believe it, Seishu would never hurt Lord Enasi. You and I have witnessed this. You just have to trust him. The Nightmare Realm and our realm have different...morals. They do things differently their. But. . . They finally told each other." Crios paused, giving a small smile. "Finally. But if you go in there overreacting, you might run something. Besides, he looked really happy when he walked in."

- - ' ' - -

"These are wonderful Cho!"

"They are really good."

Rue and Inui munched down on their pancakes, taking their seats by Seishu. Enasi smiled and took his usual seat before looking as Starla walked up to him. "For you Lord Enasi. It's not as nice as the other. . . But it's a one of a kind." She held out the flower and he gasped softly.

"It's beautiful. What are you talking about, it's amazing!" Enasi wasn't aware she was comparing the flower to the one Kaila gave him that Seishu had made, but none the less he loved it dearly. She made it special, so of course he saw it as such. Starla only blushed at such a compliment and bowed, going back to stand with her brother and eat.
