"I will have to talk to Xandros more on the issue. I am easily recognized as a Warrior, but King? That may or may not be a simple issue. As for that second matter at hand, there really is only one solution. We both need to be recognized. Our ways and people are as unique as we are. Grand Master of Water has to be both: Channeler and Hybrid. Kreek and Gyaan. Water flows in many different ways, and we have to be able to offer that to anyone who seeks to follow in our footsteps.But we can cross that bridge when the time comes. First, Varuna." Ryan expresses to Lykas, hoping that the hybrid would consider his idea.

"If you can be named speaker for the king, that should suffice as well." Lykas replied, choosing not to speak on Ryan's response to the title of Grand Master. He wanted to believe that was an option. Ryan's argument made sense, after all. But that wasn't their decision to make, if Sub's tale was to be believed. His expression would reflect the fact he agreed but he tried to keep his uncertainty unseen.

"But yes. In order for us to end it, we need to save Varuna's life. For now." This was going to be difficult at best. If Varuna needed to reach Kyogre's Tears, then he would need help right now. Those assassins Sub mentioned were likely to be far greater in numbers than a single false Grand Master, after all.

Ryan nods but also felt wary. What good would all this unification and end of millennia of the blood war be if not so soon after a new power rift was created? Was there truly an end at all or just a false mantle of temporary truce?

"Well, first we need to find Varuna. It may be easier than normal given his current condition, but it still won't be simple. Once we find him, then we need to keep him safe, come hell or high water, so he can answer to our justice, not theirs. It's time to see if all this training we did pays off." Ryan goes over with Lykas.

"You're right. We both know he's capable of vanishing into the sea as quickly as he is able to emerge but..." Opening his bag, he pulled out an Azure Bell. "I wonder if we would come to us if we called? It's been a while since either of us did... Maybe he'll think it's another possible new student?" He didn't seemed thrilled about the idea of using the item but it had been the first step to reaching where he stood now. It was hard to get rid of it after all that time training under the false master.

"He's had centuries more time than us to perfect his skills... But if he's injured, it may not make a difference now or later... " That would be something that needed to be discovered as time pressed onward. The more he thought about all this, though, the more he agreed with Ryan. The paradigm needed to change.

Ryan digs around his bag an pulls out his Azure Bell as well. "I think you have the right of it. This might be the only way to find him." the channeler says as he palms the bell. "Let's be on our way. Standing around here won't do us or him any more good." Ryan says. Time to go.

At the time Ulla and Leon were finally having their chess match. If anyone was watching, they were both pretty even. But it was obvious, Leon had the upper hand. "Looks like you've been improving." Ulla moved her knight piece as she took Leon's pawn. "Of course. I've had over years of playing by myself. Playing as the hero, and the villain. I know every move. I know every strategy." "Yet you still are going to lose to me. I remember beating you every single day." "Brother, that was years ago. This time it's different." She said as she watched her brother take another one of her pieces. "Checkmate."

Before Ulla could analyze how she should attack now. She heard her SNAG go off. She grabbed it from her bed as she read the message. When she finished, her heart sank a little. Getting a bad vibe from it. "...Go. This will be considered a forfeit." Ulla pouted as she stood up and ran to the main lobby. When she turned the corner, she saw Ter and Keiko. She noticed Keiko's bag in the instant as she knew this feeling. Her mind flashed back to when Leon left to start his Pokemon journey and for his Channeler mission. "....You're leaving?"  

[Cecile Silverstone]

Ulla held her head down, her child self wanted to yell at Keiko. Telling her not to leave, telling her that she didn't need to leave to learn how to fight. That she could help her with all of that. But, her tactician self wanted to tell her that would be for the best. That she will be fine here with Ter and Leon. She struggled to say anything until she finally exhaled. "...Then go."

She said as she raised her head with her best smile she could. "I'm sure you'll do great in that village. I'm sure we don't want you attacking when you and Papa have your wedding." Ulla said trying to lighten the mood. Leon was leaning against the wall around the corner unseen from everyone. Making sure his little sister wasn't saying anything rash. "I'll be sure to keep Papa company so he doesn't miss you so much. Just be sure to bring something back for me?" She said as she turned her back to face Keiko. "I'm sure you won't be long. Once the portal for the Fairy Realm opens up again, I'm gonna have to leave again. And I'm sure it will be longer than a few weeks this time. So, will be even." She said as more of her childish self want to break out and cry infront of Keiko, to beg her to stay or for Ulla to come along. But, this was something Keiko could only do. The little girl knew she would just be in the way.

Ulla was caught of guard by her parents offer. She was all set to see Keiko leave, now they were offering her to go? She then noticed her brother around the corner. He merely nodded saying that she could go. He also knew that in time, she would be gone for a good while. So, now was a good time to do what she wanted to do. She merely smiled as she turned back to face Keiko and Ter. "Okay. I promise I won't be in your way or get you in any trouble Mama." She said as she was about to run to her room and grab her bag but Leon finally stepped out of hiding and gave her bag.

Leon ruffled her hair "Everything you are going to need I already packed for you. Just remember, this is Keiko's mission alright? Don't give her a bad rep." He then looked at Keiko, "This village your going to. I hope they are friendly to humans. Then again. She's know ordinary human." Leon said referencing that she was now the Herald of Life. "Don't worry. I'll be on my best behavior!"  

[Cecile Silverstone]

Ulla put her bag on as she hugged Ter. She then went over to her brother and was motioning for a hug. He sighed as he merely ruffled her hair again, Ulla giggled at this. "Bye Papa! Bye brother!" "Oh Ulla. The Pokemon you have. Lucario is with you. But I didn't pack all of your ace's." "What do you mean? All of team are aces!" She said as she joined Keiko ready to be teleported.

Wren walked through HQ today with Nutmeg at his side and Cassava resting on the recently evolved Steenee's head. The little Hoppip was feeling slightly down that he was the last of Wren's Pokemon who could do so who hadn't evolved at least once through training. Altissima, Mandragora and Hyacinth made sense why they hadn't reached their final stages but at least the latter two had evolved once already just through battling and gaining experience. Except Mandragora hadn't, the cheater. He'd gotten his grubby leaves on a Rare Candy. It just wasn't fair, he thought, that he was the weakest, still.

"Hey. Hey! Quit making that pouty plant face. We're gonna get you some training soon, too. I promise." Wren assured the little Cottonweed Pokemon. Cassava nodded and cheered up a bit, hoping for that to come soon.
