Enasi watched the guardian fly closer. His eyes narrowed to get a better glimpse at the dull shine in his hand. He realized it was a needle a little too late though. Seishu had stuck himself with the needle and began falling to the ground. Even if he wasn't that high up, the fall looked as if it would be kind of painful. Enasi stepped forward and caught him, pushing the male's wings out of the way as he laid him in the grass.
"I guess you left me with no choice then, huh?" The guardian wasn't cruel. He wasn't going to let Seishu deal with the darkness for a second time. So, he picked up the syringe and stuck himself.
The effects were almost immediate. He was suddenly drowsy and couldn't keep his eyes opened. And in the next second, he fell in the tall soft grass. When both bodies were hidden by the grass, Harper was the first to turn away from them. The other minions followed his lead and became lookouts just in case a curious dream or minion wanted to check it out. But, Enasi picked this place for a reason. It was secluded and only TB lived here. He wasn't a lonely animal, but during his times of rest, he demanded peace.

Unlike the other times, Enasi woke up a little startled. That was probably because he was forced into unconsciousness instead of peacefully getting there. As he stood, everything seemed to come to life immediately.
". . .I wonder how long we'll be out."
The world around them formed into something rather simple compared to the other times. It was almost as if the world itself was telling them there were other things they needed to focus on. The sky brightened only enough to give a sunset feeling to the area. A mix of day and night, a peaceful in between. A large, great tree sprung to life in the center of a field, and that's where Enasi perched himself until Seishu came through. He sat under the tree, looking past the cliff that was created and out into a vast sea.
He didn't feel the need to hide away anymore, nor did he feel like he needed to ponder over what to say before hand. In Their World, he felt centered. It was probably why Seishu knocked him out. While he waited, he thought over TB's words. With a clear head, he came to the conclusion that he really did need to stop. His babying was getting out of hand- well. . . That seemed a little drastic. It was more like, his babying was a little too much and he needed to give them room.
'Give them room to grow. . .I'm sure Seishu is just here to tell me how foolish I'm being as usual. . .He could have just said that to me directly. . .
