Nickalen: Try to be curious of the other cantons, maybe you will find something interesting…

      Azur: I don’t know… I want to be a Blue, as Oona. She seems great. What is she like?

      Nickalen: She is like a crazy lunatic who sleeps naked in the woods

      Azur: What?!

The GreenCircle got carried away by the discussion and had gave an honest answer. He did not want that. He tries to give a professional one!

      Nickalen: She is a respected BlueWave; a Master in the water technology; brave and powerful; a true follower of its own ikigai.

      Azur: Why would she sleep naked in the woods?

      Nickalen: She says it is healthy. Predators apparently don’t like free stripped food. Now, go to sleep Azur…

      Azur: Okay, Master…

Darkness covers the sky and lands. The moon guides young Azur through the night. The boy has never slept in the woods. How could he? The crystal-clear oceans and vivid grasslands from KUMARI always distracted him with their beauty. So, yet here he is, up in the tree, afraid of heights and terrified by the thought that wolves might come. But Azur knows a trick! A trick taught by his Circle Master in his White Training. The boy is thankful they are still alive, so he speaks a prayer!

      Azur: My Guardian dear, who protects and guides me here…

Nickalen is still awake. The GreenCircle hears the young boy’s prayers. A thing that all younglings are thought to do. He learned it as well when he was young. It builds faith! The Guardians are not among them. Not physically. They aid and protect in mysterious unseen ways. They serve the physical realm to guide each spirit through the journey of the soul. Nickalen does not feel that Azur needs guidance.

      Nickalen: ...you know they are interdimensional spirits? They can only guide you in this material world, not really help you…

      Azur: I am being grateful, Master

      Nickalen: If you want to show gratefulness, show them you appreciate life and stop alluring predators here…

The GreenCircle tries to offer the young boy something better than guidance. Nickalen gazes at the dark sky!

      Nickalen: When I was away, the only thing I found close to home was the stars. They always looked the same. Always bright. It reminded me that even if I left home, the stars didn’t leave me. It felt like somehow home was still with me.
