Hironori couldn't help but smile towards the sudden awed expression on Akito's face. It was almost as if something changed in him completely. He looked. . .well more comfortable. The male was truly a child of war, yet somehow, seeing him so comfortable as if he was home was quite adorable. The male stayed a little longer just to watch and then eyed him as he bowed. Eventually he would get out of those habits, but since it was hurting no one in particular, the 'proper' lessons could start later. "This home is now yours as well. You're free to go anywhere you please and stay as long as you like- except my parents room of course." He chuckled and stood straight.
At his admittance towards being a child of war, Hiro could only nod. "You shouldn't be ashamed of such a thing. It's who you are. Besides, if you weren't, you wouldn't be standing here in the palace." His eyes gazed over the room before resting on Hoko and Akito. "My father too claimed to be a child of war and here he is now." His arms crossed over his chest and he nodded once more. "Stay in here as long as you like. If you need anything or anyone don't hesitate to call for a servant. Surprisingly, they're never far away." He smiled at the idea of them popping out of nowhere. As a child, he thought that was exactly the case. Whenever he wanted something, as if on queue, there would be someone questioning what he needed.
Hironori turned on his heel and wandered down the halls. A few servants carrying baskets paused to bow, and the prince gave a polite smile before gesturing them to continue their work. He continued to wander until he was once again met with Kaede. "Why do I always end up running into you?" He chuckled and she smiled. But that smile faded when she noticed Akito missing. Her arms crossed. Before she could question, he put his hands up defensively. "He wanted to stay in the training area, so I let him. I'm being nice don't worry. Not much company when he's nervous about everything." He nodded and then hurried off to his destination. The servant sighed and shook her head letting him leave.
Hiro moved towards the back of the palace into a secluded room. This room lacked the carefully made drawings and designs. It was simply a plain room. Books piled on one side, against the wall. Only one stack seemed to be a bit disorganized, only because he had been using them previously. Against the opposite side, on a small shelf were different materials that he collected or created. There were some normal things like silver pieces, a preserved flower, or even a bird feather. Some of things weren't so common like a some only found near volcanic areas, or a jar that contained some light source that couldn't be seen. Walking in, he took a deep breath and smiled.
His magic practice was one of the things he enjoyed to a full extent. His father thought it was a little odd, but eventually warmed up to the idea. He was never in real danger, and he was only learning the basic elements so far. Practicing for some time, he managed to successfully master, in a sense, the element of fire and the element of light. He rubbed his hands together and concentrated. In moments, a small flame danced in his hands before disappearing once more. He figured, if anyone needed him, they could find him in the room.

"Flufflord." Enasi corrected with a small smile as Seishu kissed him. It wasn't until he started walking when the full effect of the release of most of his energy hit him. His vision blurred for some seconds causing him to feel dizzy and he started to feel sick, but the guardian managed a poker face. The only extent of his pains was the slightly tighter hold to Seishu's hand. It was already a tough mission. He didn't want to become a burden, at least not too early in the mission. The two walked through the hall and Enasi kept his head up as the minions snarl and growl. They were at bay at the moment, but Enasi knew that at the slightest hint of his weakened state, the minions would probably attempt to attack.
At this point, even his own injuries had been ignored. Enasi had a one track mind at the moment. Once the doors had opened to the main hall, the guardian didn't take the time to even look at Gin. Immediately, his eyes darted to the one positive source off to the side. His eyes lit up seeing Rue smiling and being able to move, but almost instantly saddened at all the injuries he could spot from such a distance. Seishu's hold on him moved made him remember that he couldn't run over to him. 'Don't worry dear Rue, we'll get you home. We'll get you home and nicely cleaned up. And then you can ask Cho for cake if you want!' His eyes rested on Gin finally, when he heard the sound of metal stabbing the hard surface. The minion was using the sword as a crutch at the moment, still in bad conditions after the surprise attack.
Enasi lets out a soft, sympathetic sigh. 'Why is he trying so hard? He can barely stand. . . Just fall like the others. They'll look at you no differently.' His eyes lit once more as Rue was able to fly up and Tyar and Kaila managed to retrieve him. 'Thank you both. You have my gratitude.' He straightened up, now focusing on Gin to keep his mind off the woozy feeling. His energies were being collected and stored for him to use, but it was at a slow pace considering all of the negative energy was trying to block that.
Gin growled out again, once more attempting to regain himself from the cheap shot from Kaila. "You think this will be enough to stop me and my reign? You are foolish. All of the minions here are mine now, and after the stunt, they all see where your allegiance stands. You were willing to risk the lives of your own kind to save one pathetic dream? Obviously, your place here is over. I'd be doing you a favor of not killing you where you stand. It would be wise to take that filth of yours and get out while you can. . ." His eyes held a menacing glare. He refused to fall in front of Seishu. His resolve and his will would keep him going. There was no way he'd give in to it. As a guardian, he had to be strong enough to take such a hit. He was no minion willing to serve such a weak king. . . He was a guardian! "Without me, this kingdom would have fallen. We've managed to kill so many of those weak and pathetic dreams you call fighters. No more wars! We can simply overpower the realm and take control! Ha! Then I'll really be in full control! A true guardian! Seishu, you are finished." Gin stepped forward as if planning to attack Seishu, managing to keep his attention for just a few seconds. 'A few seconds is all I need.'
'What a poor, poor soul. He's deranged and striving for power he can't achieve. How did he fall to this path?' His attention was caught when Gin spoke directly to him. He hesitated, feeling the urge to step forward, but stopped himself. He would not give in to Gin's antics. He sighed, focusing on trying to heal himself, but in the moment he looked at Gin, he noticed the minion look in between them. He was fairly sure it was just him trying to regain himself, but the faintest shift in negative energy and the faintest sound made Enasi turn his head. It appeared Gin too was attempting to be dramatic like his actual guardian. When he said Seishu was finished, he meant it quite literally. A minion, whose features were covered, mustered enough strength in order to rest on its arms and point a crossbow at Seishu. It was obvious this minion wasn't going to last very long, especially not when it used up the last of its energy to make this final attack effective.
Enasi snapped out of his own haze for a seconds and immediately pushed Seishu to the side. "Watch-!" In his mind, this was no noble moment. As it played out in his mind, they were both going to fall and both miss the injuries. . . But even then, it was just the positive thoughts that raced through his mind as he moved Seishu out the way. If he was going to be tainted with negative energy, he could at least keep his mind clear of it. In fact, it was kind of humorous how even during the sudden pain that went through his stomach, he could focus on something totally different. 'T-This is a bit of a cheap shot-' He didn't realize that he had fallen to his knees with one hand over his stomach. . . Was he even holding it? Shock had made him go numb, but he did look down noticing the red that covered his hands and dripped onto the floor. He also noticed the negative energy emanating from the arrow that was stuck in him only deterring his healing more. In that moment, the moment he saw Seishu unconscious and bloody in his own realm flashed through his mind. Whatever was really in front of him; Seishu, Gin, or even that minion couldn't be seen. Everything faded into darkness as Enasi felt himself falling into nothing.

Rue hurried behind Kaila, truly thankful that they didn't have enough sense to injure them too. "There's a cave we'll be going to. The guardians will meet us there and recover before we get you guys back to the Dream Realm." He debriefed Rue of the plan, but turned when he didn't get a response. Rue had paused and looked back at the castle.
"Onward Rue, we have to keep moving." Tyar whispered.
"Something isn't right. . ." He practically whined, but didn't go back to the castle. If something was really wrong, he knew the guardians could fix it. . . They had to. He sighed and turned once more following Kaila, the unease never settling.

"Soda?" Jett chuckled. "You're the third person to says that since I landed. Nah protein mix with energy drinks is my thing. Promised to be healthy. I mean healthier this year. Drink it twice a day. My third square is a normal protein shake before bed."
He stopped himself in time. Saying the word Ma would make him look like an idiot. He looked to the side when he felt someone grab his hand for awhile, shake it and then let go. The white haired (overgrown fairy, plant mage thing) kid seems shy. This group has so many young members. Cute! He gave Lute a second glance. Yup, should be kid, since the boy looked much younger than him. He swore he heard 'Lute' at some point. Interesting. Maybe the kiddo was a musician or something.
"Jett... Lute right..."
Jett blinked as he stared at the finger wagging in front of him. Mr D. mentioned something about pain and permanent. Twas hard to focus when some many people were talking at once. Must be about those tats. Boy was the man serious. D Man sounded like a teach, but way, way too radically dressed.
"Thanks for the tip, bro... errr Mr. T!" Jett smiled as he offered Syed his hand.
"So's anyone needs to pack? I needa gets stuff. Grumpy Kayne's round the corner and all."
The overly energetic Guilder raised one leg up, but quickly put it down. Gnar Man's 'cutie' pick up line seemed to work. One of the girls was approaching him. And...and... woah! Was she flirting with the dude? Jett grinned. That is, as Cutie always says, Gnarly! He stepped over to the water mage. Isn't this the perfect time to be a wing man?
"Gnar Man! Who's your... oh hi, Ms. Aria! This dude is cute isn't he. Almost like the little kiddo," Jett paused to indicate Lute, "over there. You guys sure get your hands on a lot of young prodigies. How many under eighteens do you have besides him... and her!" He glanced briefly at Trixie as he let his voice trail off.
Seems okay, so far. Now to see how Ms. Aria reacts...

Risa huffed and looked up at Luro. "Gee, that made me feel better..." She decided to trust the pirate, as crazy as it sounded, and sit by him even though he was not much help in the comfort department. She had grabbed her cup before Luro pulled her off and was now quietly and slowly sipping the drink Nolan passed around while the others took care of their business.
He judged new pirates to see if they were worthy of their title... It was amusing in a sense. One person being solely dedicated to seeing if a new pirate was even worth the time of other pirates, and even the navy. Runali got the answer she wanted and was content. Though, it still seemed like there was something else that she wanted to know. Not knowing exactly what it was, she decided not to prod into the idea. About the notionof handling complicated 'stuff' Runali leaned forward against the table. "There's nothing for me to handle. If this Rookie Judge decides to judge us, then who am I to stop him? The only thing I can do is make sure we're presentable and all."
"Hm? O- Oh, I'm fine Nolan." Risa stammered and nervously smiled. The last thing she wanted to do was get on his bad side. Not after what Luro explained. Risa was weary around Nolan, but his smile seemed so genuine... She noticed Danny pondering over Shouta's words with a slightly confused expression and gave a curious look.
"Wait, if you're not a judge judge like the Navy and you're not a pirate- wait, are you a pirate? Because if you are, shouldn't the Navy be going after you too? Last time I checked the Navy doesn't like pirates regardless of what they do. I mean that's what the wanted posters and the dead or alive cost and the-" Danny was about to continue rambling on, but Runali tapped lightly on the table making her stop for a moment.
"Danny does have a point...Pirates and the navy aren't the best of friends." Before they could further that conversation, Alicia spoke up after who knows how long. She was really good at keeping silent and to herself. Not only did she speak, but she practically challenged Shouta to a battle. That didn't sit very well with the captain, but she decided it was best to see how it played out. It would give a little more insight to the male as well. Would he fight her while he was drunk? Well, Luro did that 90% of the time so that wouldn't be very surprising. Even so, Runali felt it a little needed to remind them of Luro's earlier suggestion. "There's also being merry and drinking together."
While that was being settled, Risa leaned over to Runali and quietly whispered. "I'm sure my father is back at the shop. We should go check on your ship... Um, I'll let you guys test out our wings?" She mentally sighed when the last part caught the captain's attention. This was no setting for an inventor like her. That, and she was sure her brother didn't like the idea of her going off with a group of pirates. Just to be sure, she leaned over to Luro in order to bribe him as well. "If you take me back to the shop, I can show some of the other gadgets...l can even show you where to get a bunch of spare parts."
"Using those wings of yours does sound fun. Alright, we can go after I make sure our swordswoman isn't doing something...ridiculous." Risa seemed please with that idea and nodded, sitting back in her chair and waiting to see what would happen.
Oh look, Captain is all offical now.
When you watch it, you don't even get the school setting vibe. Well, in the sense that you see them in classes or anything.

It appeared that everyone agreed, and everyone was moving out the door. Wonderful. She didn't have to sneak and inch her way out. "Off we go, on another adventure!" She walked out the door, alongside the others. As they all went their merry way to the spa, she turned her head when she heard her name. "Aye, pirate indeed! I've been one since I was born-" At the mention of her ship, she sighed and crossed her arms. "I should have a ship. But I don't know Tobias, do I still have a ship?" Obviously there was a bit of a sour spot there when she spoke up for him to hear. "I think he did something to it..."
Her somewhat annoyed demeanor changed to a smile and she shrugged. "Even if I did have it, I'm sort of on 'probation' from it. I have to apparently prove that even as a pirate, I can be...'good'." She laughed and then patted Cap. Being good had been pretty easy so far, except for the times when she'd pickpocket someone or run into trouble without a plan, although the latter wasn't really counted for. "Hence why I'm a guilder person now. Whatever the title is. And Tobi there is my babysitter."
Not getting much attention from Nani, Cap hopped off the pirate and flew around the group. It whistled some birdie tune before perching himself on Tobi's shoulder after they They had been traveling long enough for Tobi not to freak out every time the bird did that. But Cap wasn't interested in Tobi, instead he waved a wing to Estelle and Moria. "Ahoy ladies." As a partner in crime, there were times when Cap would entertain audiences while Nani went about collecting treasures that didn't belong to her. Luckily, this time was not the case. This was just a bird boasting off his talents- of speech that is.
I never have the motivation to watch anything. It's normally the first episode that makes it or breaks it.
so watch the first episode (the first two) annd theennnn get hooked and watch it haha.

Don't worry, I don't even pay attention to studios and such. So I would have never known. I did notice similarities, but I thought that was just me being weird or something haha.
All the characters were amazing in their own special way. Mako was just special all together. But Gamagoori was a huge dork.
