The fallen angel at least had some instinctive reflexes. Seeing the dirt being tossed, he ducked his head and turned to see Dani get hit. Besides a few growls, nothing happened and Aoba got to rest. He rested and watched as Kuro finished the tasks for them. It didn't take him long to finish and he huffed. Eventually, he'd manage to get it right and be able to plow and farm as easily as Kuro could. Aoba was about to get up to see what was next, only to be stopped by Dicxson rushing past. "H-Hey. . .?" The two hell beasts were fighting, but neither of the brothers tried to stop it. So, maybe it was normal? And then out of nowhere, the brothers started to fight. For a moment, Aoba panicked and scrambled from his seat on the ground to get away from them. He was going to panic and say something to them, telling them to stop, but he remembered the first time they randomly broke into a fight. . . This was normal. . .
Aoba sighed and facepalmed at the odd demons. He really did have a lot to learn with them. Dani flew past, going to send Dicxson home and Aoba stood up. "Your clothes. . . Never mind." He shook his head and then walked over to grab some of the seeds. "Oh, I know how to do this part! For planting by hand they have to be at a few centimeters apart." He was about to go off to one end on order to start planting the seeds, but Kuro mentioned putting the plows off to the side. He did just that, careful not to damage the plow or scratch the ground too much in the process. The fallen angel seemed a little more excited about this part of the farming process, maybe because he knew what he was doing and it didn't require as much physical labour. Still, without the helpful mechanical materials Kuro had spoke of before, things still took a lot of time.
"All you have to do is, put them in the ground. The little shovel tool is useful for that one. I remember." He smiled and went to go get the proper tool so he didn't have to dig up the ground with his hands. Dani was a little more curious because of the toy's interest in the task so he began hovering over them while they worked.
"I still think this would be a lot easier. . . But nooo, do everything the boring human way. Might as well be a human if you're going to act like one Kurotama." Dani said as he flew around the two.

I am not even sorry XD
Blame Fox for this.
Oh the memories... The hilarious memories. Ha, Winter's posts can be added to the hilarity. Here.
Also, okay Thor, you still have time. Hope you feel better and less lazy!
Also, by the way, Winter did you have a bounty in mind for Alicia? I want to make sure the front page stays updated. And of course, over the course of their adventures bounties will increase. Obviously.

I'm not being shy. I talk to you guys all the time. :P
Buuut, okay. I'll do that.

Things started to slow down in the camp. Everyone, except for the designated team was in camp wondering what the big deal was. Where they under attack? Did they need to hide away? As a cautious instinct, everyone got into place to hide from whatever danger that might have been approaching. "Calm down little ones. Everything will be fine." Tiski shushed them as they whined and growled. With a slight frown from them not listening, Tiski spoke in a much firmer voice. "Quiet down, now." They quickly silenced and ducked down as they had been told. The nightmare woman counted them off, and then crossed her arms and sighed. "Where in the name did Filo and Feena fly off to this time? Kaila said stay put and those two decided to run off as usual." She sighed, but stayed with the children. She couldn't go off chasing after them, and she was sure someone would catch them before they went off too far.
"I saw him go off this way."
"Alright, let's hurry before someone notices."
The siblings started to fly off towards the edge of the camp where Kaila had left. But just as they took another step, Tyar appeared in front of them, causing both to jump back. "You've got to stop doing that! You're going to give us a heart attack or something." Filo frowned and landed on the ground with his sister. Tyar gave them a blank stare before taking a full form.
"You shouldn't be out here. Kaila said stay in the camp. . . You're disobedience will get you punished you know." Both siblings looked at each other, gulping a little. "Go." If its non physical forms weren't creepy enough, the airy tone that it held would do. The siblings mumbled an apology before racing off back with the other children to avoid whatever wrath that might have been their consequence. Tyar merely nodded before disappearing again. When he reappeared, he was drifting near Kaila as he paced in anticipation. "I'm sure our Lord doesn't want to be greeted by all that pacing around. Relax."
Kaila sighed and looked in the spot where the portal was supposed to open. Lan and Ran had not been gone for too long, but it still felt as if they had been gone for hours on end. He figured, the other guardian had to prepare himself to travel the Nightmare Realm.
////// ////// ////// ////// ///////// /////////
Enasi waved one last time before walking through the portal. The only one that followed was Harper. Going through, the rabbit gave a light sigh and looked around. From the quick scope, everything was fine - he wanted to be absolutely sure, even if he plant siblings checked. His eyes fell on Lan and Ran for a moment, but he stood by Enasi as Seishu walked over to them. His gaze fell on his own guardian, but before he could say anything Enasi took Harper's paws in his hands. "Relax Harper. You're in charge you know. And if you get all worked up, you know they will as well. I'll be back in one piece before you know it." With that, he hugged the rabbit.
Harper couldn't help but sigh, though he did hug him. "I'll try not to. Can't guarantee I won't end up acting like a worried mother like you always have done." This produced a smile and a light laugh from the both of them. And with a final sigh as Seishu looked back at him, he nodded. "Be safe." Enasi smiled and turned to walk over to Seishu. Finn and Starla had already gone through their own portal. Harper on the other hand stayed until the guardians disappeared through the portal to the nightmare realm. He saluted them both before departing.

"He's gone through safely. All we can do is wait now." The portal behind Harper closed and he nodded at the small group. "Let's make sure everything here is taken care of so Lord Enasi won't have to worry about it."
Crios didn't realize his tail flicking back and forth in worry, until Cho ran his fingers through it. "Relax," he whispered and turned from the group, "he'll be back safe and sound. Now, let's go. You have to make sure your patients and staff are okay, and I think a feast for Lord Enasi's return sounds delightful!"
"Hm, if you don't mind Cho, I'd like to help decorate. Maybe add some flowers here and there." The chef beamed and nodded, taking Starla's hand and bounding off with her. That left Finn to himself, but he wandered towards Crios. He still found the doctor as someone to look up to, so he decided to ask,
"May I accompany you? Our garden doesn't need to be tended to at the moment." He realized he could probably ask more questions about the Nightmare Realm and its Guardian in the process. The doctor didn't see much harm to it, so he nodded and walked off to the medical wing. The nightmares had not been attacking as bad as they were before, so his patients were few in number, and some were in for mere check ups that didn't require Crios' attention.
"Hey, Rue, do you want to help Rasha and I clean up Lord Seishu's room? We were planning to change the sheets and have everything fresh." Rue smiled and hugged Inui.
"I have to get some things accomplished first. To avoid hurting you guys and all. . . But maybe later!" He didn't give them time to respond because he flew off. Curious to see what he had come up with, Harper decided to follow after Rue- at a slower speed until it was necessary for him to run.

Seeing the portal they created, Enasi noted it was much darker than his own. It was expected though. He braced himself, holding on to Seishu's arm as they walked through. Enasi's energy lowered and he made sure that barrier was still intact. The feeling wasn't pleasant, but it didn't make him that sick like it had made Seishu many times. But that was probably because he wasn't injured.

Post is up!
Note: the // marks meant that they were whispering. If you didn't catch on.
Alicia's chapter is almost complete! It's just the matter of the actual recruiting now, ha. Then afterwards, to the next town! Which I believe will be a shorter chapter.

Danny said
"She's as good as Kai!"
The captain watched Alicia and Luro go at it before glancing over at the map maker. "As well of a swordswoman as she is, she can't be compared to Kai." It was still a bit of a bummer that he left, but she came to terms with it. He did promise to return when he was finished, but if that wasn't for a long time, the captain assumed they could always visit Waterdeep once they've sailed around completely. She didn't believe in backtracking, so it would be a bit of time before they saw Waterdeep again. "But you know, she would be a nice addition to our set of skills." The recruiting thoughts came and went. This Bow Black character must have had something going for her. Runali doubted the pirate life was for her either. Unless she was already a pirate.
Runali glanced over at the cook when he mentioned the dead woman- or potentially dead woman. Apparently she had a kid. That's why he was so worked up. It made sense though. He was such a kind hearted soul- not really pirate like, but he fit just fine with the StarDusk crew. It still did amaze her that someone like Nolan ever agreed to join in the pirate life. Danny decided to bound forward with her help and the captain raised an eyebrow towards her uplifting words. With a slight matter of fact tone, she spoke up to the two. "I'd be careful about raising your hopes like that. Don't want them to come crashing down if you're wrong... Luro is a pirate. And before that, I'm sure he hasn't had a decet history... Not saying he would kill someone just because, but I wouldn't rule that out..." Her attention turned back to the arena, wondering why nothing had happened and why no one was attacking. "Ask him for yourself. Thinkin' about it and getting worked up won't get you anywhere."
Runali gave a light shrug and then tilted her head as Luro began trying to get something out of his bottle. Her eye narrowed when she realized nothing was coming from it. She sat up, practically getting ready to stand. "Luro..." Why did she have a bad feeling about-
Luro said "Announcer! I'm out of rum so I'm going to get some more now! You can name Tashigi the winner!"
It was loud and clear. The announcer heard it and the people in the crowd had cheered less since nothing was happening between the two... So they heard it as well. And they all fell to utter silence. The only sound that could be heard around the area of the StarDusk crew was Runali sighing and facepalming. Though, with a shake of her head, even she chuckled lightly. "What a weird, weird creature." She was starting to doubt his status as a human....No one should have been able to drink that much. And yet, Luro could.
/"The guy is l-leaving!? Oh, bloody-"/
Throats cleared in the microphones, not realizing they could still be heard while they were whispering. Once composed, they tried announcing again.
"Never in my life have I witnessed such a thing! He just gave the winner's title to his opponent.. Which means...the winner of the tournament is:
Alicia Tashigi! "
The announcers were trying to keep their cheer and excitement up, but even they were too confused to know what was happening. The crowd themselves didn't know whether to cheer or boo. Slowly, but surely the cheering started - until it erupted into a full cheer. Even so, some were a little upset about the outcome. They did pay good money to see a fight- and normally the best fights were the final fights. Luro did rob them of that entertainment.... Hopefully that didn't bite him in the back side later.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to go see if Luro accomplished getting his rum." She shook her head and then shrugged. "As eventful as it was, I think it's about time to head out anyway. Tourist town. We spend the night here, we'll probably end up with empty pockets. Tourist islands are like Sirens for- everyone. So make sure you get everything before we set sail." She stood and walked out of the stadium. Others stayed till the very end when one of the officials brought out Alicia's prize and once again named her the winner. 'It's a good thing this place is practically crime free. I don't think I'd want others to know I was carrying around that much money.' Runali was already out, trying to beat the rush of stadium people when they got out.
As she did, she could have sworn she saw a child running somewhere around the stadium. Of course, it made her think of what Nolan said. 'Wonder if he really did kill her. Well, his reasons are his own. And I should probably tell him that we'll probably heading off soon.' She continued along, ignoring all the tempting things vendors were trying to sell. Though, even she couldn't help but pause to look at a few of the items.
