The Midnight Train to Nowhere

"Why thank you Riley. Heh, it's what I'm good at." Ace playfully bowed, forgetting that in a dress it was probably more polite to curtsy.
Right before the two could dart off and disappear, a familiar voice called to them. She turned and smiled to see Lesley all nice and dolled up. "You look nice yourself." She complimented. Even in the dress, she wasn't sure of Lesley's gender. Ace wasn't the type to judge people. If a guy wanted to wear a dress then so be it. It wasn't like she wouldn't have thrown on a tuxedo if she had the chance. After all, Leila was able to- and she looked nice in it. It was pants after all. Ace was pro pants. It made movement easier without having to worry about flashing people. She was about to ask about Lesley's gender once and for all, when she noticed that Lesley had a friend. And the thought was pushed to the side for the time being.

Hearing him speak, she gave a polite smile like she learned, though it turned into a grin when he offered to guide them around. "Well, exploring without much hindsight could be pretty dangerous. And I don't know how fast Riley can run in a dress," She teased playfully. "So, thanks. We can use a guide around the place." Well, he seemed nice. She turned her head when she was jabbed in the ribs. Though her gaze returned right back to Amiel. "You sure did find a catch Lesley. Lucky you." She laughed lightly.

Ace made no expression towards the compliment and only smirked towards Riley's threat. Ace crossed her arms and added on, "Do believe the threat sir. I will take offense to you hurting Lesley. So think twice before you act." Though, her attention turned when the human was mentioned. It was the new guy Toby. She had yet to 'properly' introduce herself! That had to be done. Riley did the extra work of dragging Toby over, so when Riley let go, Ace walked alongside of him. "We haven't been formally introduced because I think I went unconscious on the trip back. But! I'm Ace! Don't forget it!" She informally hugged him, careful not to move too fast and snag the strapless dress she was wearing. She had already had that issue when the nobodies were sizing her in it...

"Alright! Let's go!" Despite her normally always being in front of the group, she decided to let Amiel lead with Lesley at his side. She didn't want to ruin their little 'moment'. So, while everyone listened to the guide's rambles, Ace moved a little ways behind the small group to peek into the doors. She saw a wide variety of things. From a indoor garden to a place littered with pillows. She didn't realize Amiel had stopped talking until she opened one door, completely ignoring the caution sign on the door. The one door with a caution sign in it.

Of course Ace would chose something dangerous.

As soon as she opened the door, she wasn't prepared to be sucked into a gravity-less state. A startled squeal escaped her lips before she ended up floating upside down in what looked like a space room. The entire night sky surrounded the large room. "Whoa...pretty." Being upside down, Ace quickly realized she had to push her dress down- or was it up- in order to cover what needed. "Heeey! You guys! A little help over here?" She couldn't help but laugh as she turned right side up and crossed her legs. "This is kind of fun actually..."

When Realms Collide {AkiBlue & PopeAlessandros}

Enasi was forced to a stop when Seishu yanked away from him. Before he could say anything, Seishu began growling at him. There wasn't much he could say. Enasi figured if he said anything he would only make things worse. But when Seishu opened the portal Enasi stepped forward. "What are you- Where are you going?" He gave a small pout when he got no answer. Instead, Seishu disappeared. He crossed his arms and sighed. Seishu was very irrational. . . How was he supposed to handle that kind of behavior? How were they even compatible? Enasi looked around, cleaning up the remains of negative energy. "I was only trying to help. . ." He rubbed his arm and turned to walk out the forest.

Before he could pull his wings out, the snake once again appeared and slithered around him, sensing the guardian's dismay. "I'm fine, I'm fine. He's probably just irritated and ready to go home. The energy is getting to him." Enasi patted the snake and sighed. "I guess. . . I guess it would be for the better when he leaves. It'll help us both." He looked over as the snake hissed gently. "Yeah I know, I'm going to go. He probably just went back to the castle." He moved from the snake's hug and flew off to the castle with haste.

Harper had left the patrol squad since they were finished and had decided to walk to the castle. His eyes narrowed at the wave of negative energy that increased. If he wasn't mistaken, it was way too close to the medical wing. The only creature with negative energy was Seishu, but he was with- The sound of wings made him look. 'Enasi without Seishu. . .' He picked up speed, hurrying to the source just in case Seishu may have needed to be detained. The closer he got, the energy came down to a minimum. He stopped to see Finn and Starla hauling Seishu off to his room, with Crios on their tails. "What happened here? Is everyone alright."

Starla and Finn looked up and at the same time gave a thumbs up. "Fine,"

"And dandy." Starla huffed and then moved as Harper took over helping Finn. "Crios contained him. And we got here as fast as we could." She continued and Finn nodded his agreement.

Enasi landed, but before he ran to see if Seishu was okay he decided to give the Nightmare Guardian his space and check on his own first. 'They are more important. . . I can't spend every moment with him. . .' He told himself, trying to push the Guardian away. He couldn't be so attached to Seishu- emotionally that is. There wasn't much he could do about their actual connection. But, in every other way, it would only make things worse. He tried denying it already and that didn't get him very far. In fact, it got them a lot of mixed emotions and potential harm to his minions.

The Power of The Fallen ~ PopeAlessandros x AkiBlue

The couch was large enough for both Dani and Aoba, so Aoba didn't hesitate to take a seat. Dani had been sitting in the middle, so he was forced to move over. That caused a low growl to form, but it silenced almost as soon as it started. Aoba was too busy still blushing ever so lightly towards the kiss to pay attention to Dani's short threat. When he did notice, Dani was just his normal and playful childish self. The innocent behavior made him smile. 'What an odd demon. Kuro's whole family must be fairly odd if these two are like this.' He blinked at the thought. Kuro's family hailed from Satan. That nearly slipped his mind. He could never forget that Kuro was not only a demon, but also a high ranking demon which meant his dad...could show up....whenever.

The idea made his wings fold tighter. It interrupted Dani's curious poking at them. Why hadn't he thought about that before? Then he remembered why. Because he knew he would start to panic at the thought. Aoba took a deep breath and sighed as Kuro came over with the food. Dani had watched the quiet panic in confusion, wondering if he had did something wrong. . . Maybe he just didn't like his wings being touched. . . Though that was too bad because Dani was going to do it anyway. "Th-Thank you Kuro." He cleared his throat and slowly grabbed his bowl, pulling his legs up to cross them. Dani on the other hand swiped up the bowl and began chowing down. Once again, he didn't acknowledge if it was good or bad, he only ate the food. Aoba supposed it was better than spitting it out.

Aoba tried the cobbler, taking a small bite at first. "Oh, yum!" He grinned and happily ate his share of cobbler. While eating, and trying not to be rude and speak with his mouthful, Aoba spoke up. "Kuro, I remember I left the seeds Father Gerard gave me in the barn. Are we going to do anything with those yet? Or do we just tend to the animals for now?" He paused and looked over at Dani who scoffed.

"Work, work, work. Is that all you think about? Learn to have some fun." Dani rolled his eyes and set the empty bowl down. "Oi! Kuro, give me more!" He demanded, only to be pouted at by Aoba. "What?"

"Kuro worked hard to make that food. You're supposed to say please Dani, not demand for it." Dani's wings visibly drooped at the idea of thanking his younger brother. His eyes narrowed as if he was going to attack the toy in front of him. Aoba blinked and scooted away, only to squeak a little when Dani growled and showed his fangs. The demon wasn't going to do anything, but it was still to scare him because the fallen angel had obviously forgot his place around them. Dani was tempted to snap at Aoba, maybe even biting him too but he held it together.

"Is she alright?" Both the King and Queen asked in unison. The guards were already escorting them back to the kingdom. The messenger looked at the StarDusk pirates and then the royals. "Well, Princess Vivi is fine. She just has a cough now. We are tending to her. Their captain got to her just in time though... But by the looks of what I saw, that fish may have taken a bite out of their captain. We saw blood, but couldn't exactly examine to see if it was her own." There wasn't much he could say after that because he was being shoved onward with them.

- - - - * * * * - - - -

As everyone finally regrouped. . .

The StarDusk pirates were escorted by a couple of guards to a medical ward in the castle. They still weren't completely trusted, even if the royal family believed they were war heroes. Walking through, they noticed the servants slowly reappearing and filing back into the kingdom. Pirates were being escorted to prison and guards were informing the citizens of their safety.

Waterdeep was saved.

Before they got to see the captain, a few nurses attended to the crew upon being ordered. But right after, they were escorted out.
"It's about time you all got here. Your captain had a few injuries and has been unconscious for some time. You can go in and check on her. But the King and Queen would like to see you all afterwards." A nurse looked at them all, and then shooed the guards away. She believed the worst they could do was steal their captain and leave the island. And she could care less if they did such a thing. The guards decided to stay out the door as the crew walked in.

Runali was bandaged and in a new set of plain clothes. "Finally you guys got here. Before you panic," This was more directed to Nolan and probably Dani too. "I am fine. It was just a couple of scratches and bruises. And a small bite, but that's besides the point." She wasn't looking for their sympathy. Runali was the captain, which meant she had to do better when it came to being injured. That was twice so far. The first was her being shot in the shoulder on Hara Island and the second being her getting attacked by fish... This was not a good look for business. That business being, pirate business.

"Well, no use standing around. Let's go see what the royals want. We still do have stuff to accomplish like getting Kai's flag. And Marcos and Dani's StarDusk symbol. We were put a little behind."

The captain rolled off the bed and lead the way out the door. In their trek to the throne room, she heard two servants mingling.

"You know, now that everything is cleared, the Navy should be arriving in a couple of days to collect the pirates."

"Yeah, I heard. They are reconnecting the phones now."

Well that meant their trip would shorten a lot. No need for them to get tangled up with the government. "So, once we figure out what the royals want, we can-"

Entering the room they were directed to, Runali was a little shocked to see the huge feast in their honor. "Wonderful! You all are just in time! Drink! Eat! We couldn't find a better way to thank you for saving not only our kingdom, but our daughter as well." The Queen happily hugged each of them, not caring if they didn't approve. King Richard bowed to them in respect and watched as the princess and her pet stepped forward. First, she stepped to Runali.

"Thank you for saving me miss! You were really brave. Oh, and I found this for you." She pulled the Captain's hat from behind her back.

"Hey, my hat! Thanks Princess." The little girl grinned and then looked at Kai. She gave him a curious look, trying to remember where she had seen him before.

"Well guys! We can't deny the royals and waste a perfectly good feast." She grinned as music played and the celebration began. "We'll get everything else accomplished first thing in the morning!" Before Runa could explore the party, the King and Haru pointed to the guards that had approached. "We also gathered...a few things we thought you may find useful." The soldiers opened the chest to reveal a little more than a few pieces of gold and jewels. "We'll put it on your ship for you."

"We should save more towns. This is awesome."

When Realms Collide {AkiBlue & PopeAlessandros}

The rumbles only make Enasi smile. Towards such a force of positive energy even the trees calmed for a moment. The turtle bus was practically the oldest and wisest creature in his realm. Not only that, but riding atop him to get around the realm was quite relaxing, if not fun. He never rode inside the bus like the passengers though. Normally he would sit on the turtle's head, giving him a front row seat to view his realm. The large creature casted his gaze downward, spring the two Guardians almost instantly. Enasi gave a wide grin and waved, getting a slow nod in return before the turtle had to continue his trip. The turtle didn't make a big deal when he noticed Seishu. He could already sense the weakened state of the guardian, and knew of Balance all too well.

Seishu's whines had caught his attention, and Enasi frowned a little. He realized how inconsiderate he was being. The nightmare guardian was still injured and putting up with so much positive energy. He got a little worried as he heard the pained gasps. "I'm being very rude, my apologies." He took Seishu's hand once again and took him back towards the castle. "You're still injured and I'm making you put up with so much. This isn't helping you heal." He quickly pulled Seishu along, his wings appearing again. "Come on, I'll take you back to the castle. I'm sure, everyone is wondering where we went off to." As they neared where they started, Enasi looked at Seishu. "Do you think you can fly just long enough to get back? Or do you want to walk the rest of the way?" He was sure if they were to walk, Harper would get impatient enough to search for him. And that never took long for Harper. It was like Enasi had a tracking device on him when it came to Harper.

The guardian was sure Harper could carry Seishu back if need be. It wasn't too much of a problem. He slowed down and waited for an answer from his counterpart.

"They've been gone for some time." Inui said as they walked to the castle. Rasha had been watching the two minions play around together. They were always sitting up under Seishu so Rasha thought it was a good idea to let them stretch their legs for some time. In their playing, the two managed to fall in mud.

"I think you two should worry about looking presentable for the guardians. You guys are a mess. I'm sure the staff won't appreciate having to clean up a mud trail." Rasha walked along side the two in human form taking them to a bathhouse. Rue giggled and flew next to them.

"We didn't mean to- well, I didn't mean to. How was I suppose to know there was a mud puddle at the end of the hill?" He smiled innocently. Rasha sighed and shook his head, wondering how he became a babysitter all of a sudden.
