"I-I would also like to request that you continue as spokesperson b-between Savage Skulls and Nox Animus."
Those words...
Kaseki remembered his role between Nox Animus, and the guild of insanity, the psychopaths, the ones that call themselves Savage Skull. He had a strange position that he held, secretly. He was the middle man between the supplies that would arrive to Nox Animus. They, in a way, depended on him. Kaseki always got a little extra for the ship, thanks to a few 'friends'. That's how Kaseki made all of the money to help pay for his family... for Yuna. His job was to deliver, that was it. On occasion Kaseki would be asked to repair a think or two in the ship. The only reason Alexander Zenneth ever allowed him aboard was because of his daughter.
But all that has changed.
Now Kaseki stood in the office, the office of his child. He stared off into the red sky and thought about the place he stood in. This whole event was surreal to him. Something just didn't add up to him. He could feel his own stress building up within his chest, a simple Dragon Fang member away from a heart attack. Then he smelled the blessed circles... the blessed circles. Kaseki turned slowly, much like an old dying man before he collapses, around. He stared at the delicious circle, the chocolate chip decorated circle. The cookie.
Kaseki found himself distracting what the real issue at hand was. His kin was left with all of the responsibility of one of the largest Dark Guilds. Yuna never dealt with anything like that before. Sure they created Dragon Fang, but it's not as powerful as a guild. Dragon Fang was a just a club of friends compared to Nox Animus, or any guild for that matter.
She then quickly added, "I-If you still want to of course..!" Kaseki smiled at he looked upon his daughter. He couldn't put the words to it, but she had changed. She had grown up, without her daddy's help. Kaseki couldn't protect her, she would obtain the full power that all guildmasters obtain... something Kaseki would never have.
"Of course my dear... I shall speak to Harrigan when I return to that dreaded castle." Kaseki finally spoke, He found his voice to be weak, frail, and shaky. What had become of him? Did he feel the pressure of his daughter's power? Was it the disappearance of strong and powerful guild master? Yes, it was, and much more. What it was was the unknown. Kaseki hated, loved and feared the unknown. Whatever took Alexander away from them, wherever he disappeared to... it could come for them.
"However... the correct term would be ambassador." The plant man spoke. He wandered from the window taking short and small steps to the desk. He reached out to touch and obtain the treat with his right hand, feeling the warmth. "Warmth?" he thought to himself as he lifted the baked good to his wooden, yet metallic lips. He took a small bite, tasting the ingredients. He began to feel the texture of the piece, the soft and flavorful cookie. In truth, that cookie was probably the reason Kaseki helped Nox Animus out so much. Kaseki loved to eat, and when he didn't eat, he fed off the sun's light. He walked over to his child and crouched on the floor beside her in a rather... childish, manner.
He lifted his hand to the girl, revealing the item that he had barely consumed. He wanted her to enjoy the last cookie made by the great guild master of Nox Animus... the master who's shoes she would learn how to fill. "Do not worry... I'm here, your father will always be here to watch you. Look, I know it's tough, but you'll make it. Remember," Kaseki gave a wide comforting smile to his kid, "There's so much of Dragon Fang on this ship alone, look around you." Kaseki glanced around the room, pointing out a few metal objects. "This place is made of out that material. So remember that trick I taught you..." he had shown the little forest sprite a method of alerting him. Only Yuna knew the method on how to active the Ironbark Beacon, the one thing Kaseki could hear flawlessly. It was almost like a summon for him. Kaseki would come from miles just to save Yuna... and Kaseki would continue to do so.
"Hey, dear, look at me." Kaseki's eyes widened as he looked upon his daughter's face. He could see the troubles, the changes, and the age that she had undergone. She was no longer his little girl. "Everything will be alright... everything will be alright." Kaseki remembered his box... the box of water under his cloak. He wondered if it was time to use the powers of it... he wondered.
He remembered all of his spells, the weak ones. All Kaseki was good for was support, he never did well on his own. He depended on Yuna, and now that she was a guildmaster, he was afraid that she would never be there. Kaseki really only had a small handful of spells, a healing spell, a defense spike spell, a mist based spell... and the one spell he taught his daughter... his ice wall. Even though his element was of the sea and not the earth, he figure he could past down some of his ice techniques.
Now he sat in the office of Yuna, the master of Nox... she was no longer seen as his daughter, she was now the face of Nox Animus.
And all Kaseki would be is a member of Savage Skull.
"Perhaps... this is what Dragon Fang will become. We will be peacemakers, we start with the darkness and move into the light... first we rally up out power here, then the others will bring peace there... and if this doesn't work, we'll have this alliance..." Kaseki thought to himself. He made a small glance back outside to the city. He wondered about all of the dark guilds coming together to form a larger alliance. He thought about calling the thing Dragon Fang, and soon retracted that same thought.
So he looked out the window for a title of this new group. He watched the red star set upon the horizon. He watched the scarlet sky slowly turn, leaving only white fluffy clouds...
"A name..." he thought.
