The Rise of the Guardian

"Guardians of Life and Death are those who keep the balance as their titles suggest. They are to never interfere in the others role. To protect Life and guide the dead. We as part of the Hidden Order hold their teachings as well to make sure to help hold the balance. Though we kill the corrupt and guilty, we try to preserve Life and not harm the innocent and to not kill needlessly." Maltoran explained to Shinlo.

"Though we know of them as Guardians and rarely if ever seen by anyone, they have been considered to be different things compared to other cultures." Kanarus added. "Though to know the Guardians is still something we study for they are still much of a mystery to us all."

The Rise of the Guardian

Kanarus was confused too. "Well...we were going to in a sense pass a little of our Elemental energy one by one and see if that energy is accepted. I know the risk for rejection is a headache and so far we have almost every element avaliable amongst us." Explaining the plan, though confused still. "Though how is Ash able to use many elements? Is it because of the men calling her a guardian?" He asks Shinlo.

The Rise of the Guardian

The three assassins nodded, agreeing with Scarlet on it being alot of information to process. But now they were all tasked with such an important mission.

"Well. We were going to figure out what primary element she has. We had noticed she was using a wind element but it didn't seem like one she was intune with completely. But seeing as well were going to do it tomorrow. We may have to wait till her burns are treated completely." Kanarus explained. "We figured that it may help trigger something to help her out."

The Rise of the Guardian

Orion nodded. "This is going to be quite the party. Well," he gets up from his chair. "I gotta finish up my rounds though the late hour already. I'll be back to check on Ash and change her wraps." He notifies the group before grabbing his pack. He then gives a short wave before leaving them with Shinlo.

Kanarus looks to Scarlet noticing that she had been quiet. "You okay?"

Carth watches Ash for a moment, noticing the calm features on her face before breathing a relaxed sigh. He rests his head against the top of her own head while closing his eyes. He didn't want to know what would happen if he tried to detangle from her so he stayed and rested. Eventually falling asleep himself while he kept up the regulated body temperature he provided.

The Rise of the Guardian

They looked to each other unsure what to say. But to know that there were dragons besides Carth was news. "Was it the Mistress that turned them to stone?" Maltoran asked Shinlo.

Carth smiled though blushed. "That's good. Glad I can help." He felt, happy. He wondered what they were talking about in the other room. But that could wait. Ash needed him.

The Rise of the Guardian

Now everyone was even more confused. "Wait. A stone curse?" Kanarus asked.
"Human no going back?" Maltoran was next to ask.
Orion sighed. "Sounds like we need to know what happened way back when. Curse and all."

Carth thought about it and shrugged. "Could be. We can ask him later. How are you feeling? Is the heat I'm producing helping at all?" He asks her. Making sure he isn't making her too hot or cold. Though he was trying to be super careful. Not that he was afraid of hurting Ash, but that how he was holing onto her while they were laying on the bed together.

The Rise of the Guardian

Orion gives a curt nod to the man. "Orion. Recently appointed healer of the group. And luckily she didn't ruin the bandages I put on her. Still gotta give it a few hours before they can come off." He explains before sitting grabbing a chair. "So other than this Mistress we gotta keep from getting to Ash till she remembers everything, how come Carth is the first dragon the world has probably seen in years and takes a human form?" He asks.

Carth hummed at her realization. "So maybe...there are more out there? Others like me?" He asks her.

The Rise of the Guardian

Carth shook his head while moving his hand to wipe her tears. "Do not be sorry. As I said before, you are relearning your abilities and yourself. It was an accident and you have done nothing to me." He explains.

The three men frowned hearing this. They now know the enemy and target they must face. "It seems we know our new task at hand. Ash though may not remember, but she will need our help." Maltoran confirmed. The other two nodded.

"And it seems you'll have a healer to make sure you don't get you asses killed so easily." Orion said as he walked in. He looked to the new body in the room and examines him and the snake. "So I guess this newcomer knows a thing or two?" He asks, sounding straightforward.

The Rise of the Guardian

Carth nodded and got up. He took off some of his gear to make it more comfortable for both of them before climbing onto the bed and laying behind Ash. He wrapped his arms carefully around her before rising his body temperature slowly. As he did that, Orion covered them them up to help keep the heat from escaping so easily. He then leaves the room to join the others.

"I see. That is an interesting skill." Kanarus exclaimed with intrigued. Altoron wondered something. "What exactly can you tell us about Ash? Anything that can be done to help her?" He asks Shinlo. Altoron was a little frustrated with Shinlo not explaining he could about Ash though he guess it couldn't be helped.

The Rise of the Guardian

Carth frowned before looking to Orion. Though he had an idea. He looked to Ash. "Your shaking too much. What if I lay down next to you and warm you up. Just to help that is all." He states, making sure the last part was clear on what he was only trying to do. He saw how her shaking lessened when he raised his body temperature. Maybe she was cold or the heat helped with the injuries. Who knows but it seemed like it was worth a try. Orion seemed to think on this before nodding in agreement.

Kanarus seemed interested in learning about mana control. "How does it work exactly?" He asks.
