Time was unimportant most of the time in the realms. It didn’t really matter when they had all the time in their worlds. But now, now was different. Enasi had stayed calm. He had stayed utterly patient with his minions, but he had been growing weary. He had been anxious. If he counted correctly, about a week and a few days had passed. He hoped he was wrong, but even just two days had been too long. His healing had gone relatively slow while he was protecting Inui but he felt fine. There was no convincing the doctor though. Everytime the doctor saw the huge scar on his guardian it only made him worry that what he was doing wasn’t enough. 

“How are you feeling Inui?” The doctor spoke as he examined the small minion over. 

“Be’er ac’uawy.” Inui said with a tongue depressor in his mouth. Crios removed it from his mouth and nodded. 

“You are healing up. Slowly though now that you’re taking in negative energy. Lord Enasi, your progress is a lot slower since you’ve been keeping your energy low.” Inui frowned a little, knowing that it was his fault, but Enasi gave a nod in understanding. He climbed out of bed right after, making both give confused looks. 

“Inui, I need your help dear. I know you’re not at full health, but we can’t sit around and wait for miracles.” 

“Lord Enasi, I highly recommend-”

“Crios, I’m not going to stand by and just wait for them to find him. It’s been far too long.” He rubbed his hand, looking at the fading symbol, his worry only further growing. “Besides, if anything happens to me, I’m in my own realm. It’ll be easy to heal. It’s Inui we have to worry about.” Crios shrank a little towards the sudden stern tone of the guardian. However it softened after and he relaxed, bowing a little. 

He didn’t approve of it, but he still complied. “Yes sir.” Crios made note to get a few of those medicines ready for both Inui and Enasi. 

The guardian put his hand out to Inui, waiting for him to get out of bed and follow him. His wound was still a bit numb, but it didn’t hurt unless he moved in odd ways. However, he was only going to walk around for a bit. “Inui, I need you to tap into your negative energy for me. I know it’s dangerous, but I need you to see if you can find Seishu. We have to use all our options- and our human realm teams have yet to return home.” He tried to stay calm as possible despite his own growing worry. The last thing he wanted was for Inui’s worry to grow out of control. “Don’t worry about harming anyone okay? That’s for me to worry about.”

The siblings race as fast as they can behind Harper and Rue. It takes them longer to get there without Rue or Harper’s speed, but they make it just in time to see the brothers surrounded. “Starla!” Harper didn’t have to further his command. He rushed into battle with Finn. Starla raised her hands in the air, causing various vines to grab the nightmare minions and raise them in the air. 

Rue skidded to a halt, not in any condition or shape to fight anyone. Instead, he kept watch, speeding around in circles to make sure none of them tried escaping or calling for more back up.
