Neojiisu flew over the ocean, following the same currents he always had, until he reached the Guardian Lookout tower. He felt that if he was going to tour the world and be away from home for so long, he might as well get a guardian's blessing.
He stepped onto the platform and looked around. The place was looking beautiful as usual, and he thought about asking Keiji who did his renovation work. The Guardian Tower had been destroyed so many times, he figured Keiji knew some good decorators. Juin could use one right about now, he thought.
Everything was peacefully quiet and he didn't feel any energy anywhere. He figured no one was home. He walked closer to the mansion at the platform's center. "Hello? Anyone home?"
He put his hand on the mansion's doorknob and started to turn it--
[glow=teal,2,300]No solicitors.[/glow]
The voice made him turn around and jump backwards, nearly busting down the door in the process, "Keiji! You startled me!"
[glow=teal,2,300]What brings you to the lookout?[/glow]
"I'm leaving on a tour of sorts. See the world a little; maybe get a few good spars in. I figured I would come here first and get your blessing. I know you're no Pope or Prophet or anything, but I thought I'd stop and say 'hi' to our neighborhood friendly guardian."
[glow=teal,2,300]If you're looking for a guardian, then you're talking to the wrong man.[/glow]
"What do you mean?"
[glow=teal,2,300]I'm not the guardian anymore. The Kaios have chosen someone new. Meanwhile I'm moving on to bigger and better things.[/glow]
"Who is it?"
[glow=teal,2,300]A young mystic named Karius. I was just on my way to meet him. You want to come with me?[/glow]
"Sur--" before he could finish his sentence, he and Keiji teleported away.
