P.O.V. Third

The young male known as King was currently sitting in front of Eclipse and nodded as she continued to speak. "Which is why we want to make it as proficient in battle as possible," Eclipse said as she looked at the male in front of her.

"Interesting," King said as he looked at the female in front of him.

"Isn't it? So I was thinking of some basic weapon designs that you could use to make it as proficient versatile as possible," Eclipse said as she looked at the male in front of her.

"Fascinating," King said as she looked at the female in front of him.

"I know, I always did love designing weapons, and I fell in love with my weapon the first time I created it. I know you'll bond with your weapons just as quickly as I di-" Eclipse began stopping herself when she realized King was saying the same things to her that he said to Xiantao when he didn't understand what Xiantao was saying. Eclipse sighed upon this realization and leaned down to look at the male.

"King be honest," Eclipse said as she leaned down to look at the male in front of her, "How much of that did you understand?" Eclipse asked as she looked at the male in front of her.

"I understood the beginning when you told me I was going to be designing my weapon between my riding, and fencing class and I understood the end when you said you loved your weapon and you think I'll like mine too," King answered as he looked up at the female in front of him. Eclipse nodded hearing this and looked down at the male in front of her.

"Then let me put it this way, we want to make your weapon have as many different modes as possible," Eclipse said as she looked at the male in front of her causing King to nod hearing this.

"Okay, now that I understand," King said as he looked at the female in front of him causing Eclipse to smile and nod.

"Don't worry, we'll be helping you as much as possible," Eclipse said as she looked down at the male in front of her. King nodded hearing this and the two began to walk down the halls together.

"Where's Rain, he's really smart and good with weapons, maybe he can help us?" King asked as he looked up at the female beside him.

"He's already in the training room waiting for us," Eclipse said as she looked down at the male beside her. King nodded hearing this and the two continued to walk down the halls together.

"So, I heard that you have some friends coming over," Eclipse said as she looked at the male beside her. King nodded happily hearing this and continued to walk down the halls.

"Yeah, Ember's coming over again and she said that she was going to be bringing some of her friends," King said as he looked up at the female in front of him.

"I see, it's rather late for something like that wouldn't you agree?" Eclipse asked as she looked at the male in front of her and King nodded.

"Yeah, they're staying for a few days, Xian said I could miss tomorrow's practice and the day after that but not today or the day they leave," King said as he looked up at the female in front of him. Eclipse nodded hearing this and the two continued to walk down the halls together. Within a few minutes, the two arrived in front of the training room and walked in together. When they walked into the room they saw Rain looking at a new area that had been set up.

It was a large desk with several pens and pencils as well as a large stack of blank sheets of blueprint paper. "Ah there you are my prince," Rain said as he looked at the younger male in front of him. "I can wait to see what you'll come up with," Rain said as he looked at the male in front of him. King nodded hearing this and began to walk over to the desk and took a piece looking at the massive sheet of paper in front of him and began to think.

"So what shall it be my prince?" Rain asked with a small amount of excitement eager to see what weapon his prince would be using.

"Indeed there are so many weapons that have been created I'm positive whatever you chose will be a marvelous choice for you," Eclipse said as she watched the male lit up slightly as if he had thought of something and began to draw. Eclipse and Rain both smiled seeing and moved behind the male as he did.

"It seems like you've decided, I can't tell what it is yet but I'm sure it'll be great. That kind of looks like the handle of a sword, I guess I shouldn't be surprised since you take fencing," Eclipse said with a sigh as she backed away. She was hoping her prince would try to be a bit more original than a boring and generic sword.

"If so then what type of sword were you going to use? A Broadsword, Falchion sword, Greatsword, Katana, Long sword, Rapier, Scimitar, and pardon my language by I believe that even a Bastard sword may suit you well," Rain said as he looked at the male in front of him.

"No it's none of those things," King said as he finished and held up his drawing proudly to the two. "It's a book!" King said as he looked at the male in front of him.

"A book?" Rain asked as he took the piece of paper from King.

"Yeah, this way I can always have my weapon on me. No one will ever expect a book to be a weapon!" King said as he looked at the two in front of him. When he did Eclipse and Rain both looked at each other before shaking their heads.

"Perhaps we should try again my prince," Rain said as he looked down at the figure in front of him. King nodded hearing this and turned around and once again began to draw something on one of the sheets of blueprint paper. Starting off with something similar but changing the design enough for the other two to recognize his new "weapon".

"A doll?" rain asked as he looked at the sheet of paper a bit confused.

"Indeed, I shall use the power of voodoo to vanish all foes," King said with another victorious smirk. Rain once again gave King a nervous smile as he looked up at the male in front of him.

"Perhaps . . . we should keep trying," Rain said as he unknowingly repeated himself looking at the male in front of him. King nodded hearing this and began to turn around and draw several more ideas for his weapon. As he did however all of his ideas were denied by the two. "Maybe, we should make one of them a gun, like a pistol or something similar. Then build your weapon around that," Rain suggested after several failed attempts.

"No," King said as he looked at the piece of paper he was drawing on. Rain was about to speak to try and get him to take this a bit more seriously however before he could King spoke.

"I can't use a gun the kick from them would hurt me. A pistol would probably dislocate my wrist, any other high powered gun would probably break my color bone or dislocate my shoulder," King said as he looked at the piece of paper in front of him. Rain was a bit surprised hearing this, he hadn't thought about it until now but he was right he wouldn't be able to use a gun without suffering some form of injury.

"If I was going to use a long range weapon I would need something that didn't have much recoil to it, like a bow or a blowgun," King said as he turned to hold up the new piece of paper he was holding. "What do you think?" King asked as he showed them his newest weapon. As they did Xiantao walked into the room and saw several sheets of paper near King's new workstation.

As he approached the figures in front of him he saw King drawing something and looked at what he was drawing. "Xian," King began as he continued to draw. "What does the word, pro-fi-cient mean?" King asked trying to remember how to pronounce the word he had heard Eclipse say about his weapon.

"Proficient?" Xiantao asked as he looked at the child causing him to nod.

"Yeah, that word," King said as he made a mental note on how it was pronounced.

"It means competent or skilled in doing or using something," Xiantao said as he picked up several of the drawing King had already done and began to look through them. He saw a book, a doll, a briefcase, a wallet, and a bracelet. all of which would be fairly useless in battle.

"What about the word various?" King asked remembering how to pronounce the word.

"It means different from one another, or that there is more than one type of something," Xian said as he looked at the male in front of him. King seemed a bit confused hearing this and turned in his chair.

"I don't understand," King said trying to put the word into context about what Eclipse had said. When he said this Xiantao bent down so that he was eye level with the male.

"Think about it terms of swords, like katanas, great swords, long swords, and claymores. They're all a sword but they're each more than one type of sword. Each of them is individual and separate, so there are various types of swords," Xiantao said as he looked at the male in front of him.

"Oh . . . OH! Okay! Thank you Xain!" King said as he turned around and once again began drawing his weapon. Xiantao sighed and let a slight smile cross his lips as he did.

"You may want to stop now," Xian said as he looked at the young male in front of him. When he did King turned back to look at him a bit confused. "I came here to tell you the Ember will be here in five minutes, so just this once I will allow you skip fencing practice for the day," Xiantao said as he looked at the male in front of him.

"Really?" Eclipse and Rain asked in unison all clearly surprised by the male's offer. However, King didn't seem surprised by this development in the least.

"Yay!" King said as he leaned forward to hug Xian's leg. "Thanks, Xian," King said with a smile as he ran out of the room and began to make his way down the halls of the palace.

"So you're really just going to let him go?" Eclipse asked as she looked at the male in front of her.

"Are surprised? Look at this," Xiantao said as he held up the sheets of paper. "First there was a book, where's the first place he and Ember always go to play?" Xiantao said as he looked at the two in front of him.

"The Royal library," Rain said as he looked at the male in front of him causing Xiantao to nod.

"Then they go to his room to play with his toy," Xian said as he dropped the sheet of paper showing the doll King had made. "Then earlier today King asked me to escort them to the public park and take them out to eat," Xian said as he showed the next two pictures being a briefcase and a wallet. "King's basing his weapons off what he does with Ember when she comes to visit him," Xiantao said as he placed the rest of King's drawing to the side.

"So you let him skip practice?" Eclipse asked as she looked at the male in front of her causing Xiantao to nod.

"Indeed, he'd just be distracted with Ember and her friends her resulting in more injuries. After she leaves he'll undoubtedly be more focused," Xiantao said as he looked at the two in front of him before he began to walk away. Rain sighed hearing this and looked at the sheets of paper that King had drawn.

"When he's right he's right," Rain said as he looked at the female next to him. Eclipse sighed hearing this and the two began to walk out of the room together. As they exited the room they saw that King had already run far down the hall making it fairly hard to see the male. As they did they chuckled seeing this and looked at the male as he continued to happy run down the halls clearly excited to see his friend.

Within a few minutes, King eventually found the figures that he was looking for and smiled brightly as he began to make his way towards them a bit faster than before. King then looked at the four figures in front of him and smiled. He, of course, recognized one of them, a female with short orange hair and bright emerald green eyes. "Emma!" King said as he ran up to the girl clearly excited.

"King!" Ember said as she ran up to the male in returned the two only stopping once they reached other so that they could hug each other.

"I missed you, how have you been?" King said as he began to bounce up and down slightly clearly excited to see the female again.

"Me, too! I love coming over to play with you!" Ember said as she looked at the male in front of her. When she said this King smiled and Ember remembered the two other figures that had come with her and smiled as she backed away to introduce them. The first was a male who seemed to be a bit younger than both Ember and King. He was a bit taller than average, with a slightly darker complexion than average, one black eye and one blood red eye, and short black hair. "This is my friend Javon," Ember said as she looked at the male.

King smiled hearing this and reached over to shake the male's hand. "It's nice to meet you, I know my name is Javon but you can call me Ty," Javon said as he looked at the male in front of him. King nodded hearing this and Ember moved over the other figure that had come with her. She was a female who appeared to be the same age as the male, she had short black hair, bright red eyes, and the feature that made her stand out slightly with two large black bunny ears, with the insides of her ears being grey compared to the rest being black.

"This is my friend Vinnie," Ember said as she looked at the female beside her

"Hi," Vinnie said briefly in a monotone voice as she waved at the male in front of her. When she did King reached forward to shake her hand and after he did King leaned forward to kiss her hand as he been taught to do. When he did Vinnie pulled her hand away feeling a bit uncomfortable about the male's action. Ember, however, seemed a bit distressed and a bit jealous about the idea of King kissing someone else's hand other than hers.

King then turned to the final figure and Ember seemed a bit happier now that King was away from Vinnie. "This is Dillon," Ember said as King looked at the male. He had piercing gray-blue eyes and short, thick, messy, unkempt brown hair that almost resembled tree bark. As he had done with the other Dillon extended his hand with a smile and shook King's hand. After they did Ember smiled and moved back to gesture to King.

"Javon, Vinnie, Dillon, this is my friend King," Ember said with a smile as she looked at the two in front of her. King smiled brightly hearing this and waved at the two as she did.

"Nice to meet you," Dillon said as he looked at the male in front of him. King smiled hearing this and looked at the four in front of him.

"So what do you all want to do?" King asked as he looked at the four in front of him.

"Let's go to the library and build a fort!" Ember said as she looked at the male in front of her. King nodded hearing this and the two began to run down the halls together.

"Hey, wait up!" Vinnie said as she began to run after the two. When she did the two males that had been with her began to run in the direction that they were. When Ember and King arrived at the large library they smiled and began to wait for the others. When they did the others were a bit surprised by just how large the royal library seemed to be. It had to be at least ten times the size of any other library they had ever seen.

"All right so, we're going to build forts. Then we can attack Eclipse, Rain, and Xian whenever they show up!" Ember said as she looked at the three in front of her.

"Yeah, just grab as many books as you can and start stacking them!" King said as he looked at the other three in front of him. When he said this they all smiled and scattered around the library and began to gather as many books as they could bringing them to the center of the staircase. When they did Rain sighed as he heard this. He had been following the children in secret for some time and had heard their plan.

He waited for a few minutes until Eclipse slowly came into sight. "Let me guess, another replica?" Eclipse said as she looked at the male in front of her. Rain shook his head hearing this.

"No, it seems like since it's more than just two of them this time, they're building a fort so that they can attack us when it's time for us to get them," Rain said as he looked at the female in front of him. Eclipse sighed hearing this and looked at the male in front of him.

"Amazing how much braver children become when they're in groups," Eclipse said as she looked at the library. "In that case, I have a plan," Eclipse said as she looked at Rain causing him to look at her a bit curious. "I'll get us some things to replace our real weapons, some yarn, and silk from the maids should do for me. As for you, I'd imagine one of the training swords would do just as well as one of your real swords," Eclipse said as she looked at the male in front of her.

Rain nodded hearing this and was about to walk away however before he could Eclipse grabbed his shoulder causing him to look at her a bit surprised. "As I was saying, I'll get those for us. I want you to go to King's room and search for something," Eclipse said as she looked at the male.

"Search for something?" Rain asked a bit confused earning a nod from Eclipse in return. "Okay, but what am I searching for?" Rain asked as he looked at the female.

"I don't know, but I feel like there's a reason King didn't take designing his weapon seriously. Apart from Ember coming to visit, and you know how he feels about his room. That's his safe space so if there is a reason for him doing it then I'm sure it'll be there," Eclipse said as she looked at the male in front of her. Rain seemed a bit unsure hearing this and looked at the female.

"Are you sure about that?" Rain asked a bit skeptically as he crossed his arms to look at Eclipse.

"Yeah, without a doubt . . . or at least I'm pretty sure. King's a good kid, and I know he's a child but he's always taken his duties as a prince seriously. I don't think he'd shrug off something as important as making a weapon without a reason to. So I just want to know why, I don't want to punish him or anything like that, but it's just really bothering me for some reason," Eclipse said as she looked at the male in front of her.

Rain sighed hearing this and nodded as he looked at the female in front of him. "All right fine, if it'll help you calm down, then I'll look through his room. However, if Xiantao finds out then I'm putting all the blame on you," Rain said as he began to walk away. Eclipse sighed and nodded hearing this as she watched Rain slowly disappear from sight. It didn't take Rain long to reach King's room and when he arrived he sighed as he looked at the door in front of him.

He stood in front of the room for several minutes clearly uncomfortable with the idea of looking through King's stuff without his permission. However, after a few minutes had passed Rain shook his head to clear his mind of these thoughts and reached forward to open the door to King's room. Nothing seemed to off upon first glance of his room.

All of King's toys had been put away, his books were stacked neatly on his bookshelf, no clothes were showing from his Bureau, and his room seemed to be fairly clean. After examining the room for a few moments Rain sighed and took a step into King's room. As he did Rain sighed as he turned to shut the door to King's room and began to look for any sign of why King hadn't taken his design seriously.

He agreed with Eclipse that despite the fact that King was a child and he did like to have fun, he did also tend to take things a bit seriously especially his duties as a prince. So he didn't think King would make such bad decisions in weapons, even if Ember was coming to visit him. Rain inspected nearly every aspect of King's room and sighed not being able to find anything. He was a bit relieved to see that Eclipse was wrong and was just being paranoid.

Rain was about to walk out of the room however as he did he looked at King's toy chest and chuckled slightly. 'I may as well, I've searched every other part of his room,' Rain thought to himself as he bent down on his knees and unhinged the small lock that was on the front of his chest. When he did the small chest opened and Rain looked inside. However, he was a bit surprised by what he saw. On top of his toys were several sheets of blueprint paper that had been rolled up and now had a string around them.

Rain out of curiosity took the pieces of blueprint paper and removed the small string that had been holding them together. When he did the sheet of paper unfolded and on the first page Rain saw a large cuboid with a strange design, and above it was the word "Chromatus" beside the cuboid written in small letters was the word "Idle" and on the left side of the paper was a rather large list.

1. Bow (With the use of Dust Cartridge)
2. Scythe
3. Dual-bladed scythe (Mode 1)
4. Dual-bladed scythe (Mode 2)
5. Triple-bladed scythe
6. War scythe
7. Two miniature scythes
8. Chain scythe (With the use of Dust Cartridge)
9. Spear (Mode1)
10. Seven spears (Mode 2)
11. Javelin
12. Staff
13. Sword (Mode 1)
14. Seven swords (Mode 2)
15. Claymore
16. Dual reverse blades
17. Dagger
18. Sledgehammer (Mode 1)
19 Sledgehammer (Mode 2)
20. Fifteen spinning blades 
21. Voulge
22. Double-headed Voulge
23. Lance
24. Gauntlets
25. Wrist blades
26. Whip
27. Bardiche
28. Mace
29. Man catcher
30. Shield

Rain felt his eyes widened seeing this and moved the first piece of paper to the side to look at the next sheet. When he did he saw a design for a bow with some more words written on it. Rain then moved to the next, staring at it for only a second, before moving onto the next. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. King had already designed his weapon! He stared at the sheet of paper in disbelief.

In fact, he had been so distracted by his thoughts that he hadn't heard two sets of playful footsteps coming towards the room he was in. As soon as the knob on the door began to turn Rain panicked and quickly moved somewhere to hide. As it turned out this area was King's closet. When he did both King and Ember burst into the room laughing as they did. "Oh no!" King said as he saw several sheets of paper on the ground.

"I thought I put these away!" King said as he began to try and organize the sheets of paper. As he did Rain began to look through a small crack in King's closet to look at King who was trying to clean up the mess that he had made.

"What are these?" Ember asked as she looked at King.

"This is going to be my weapon," King said proudly as he began looking around for the small piece of string he used to keep them together.

"Oh, okay . . . why is it in here?" Ember asked as she looked at the male in front of her.

"Xiantao told me that if I pretended not to take designing my weapon seriously he would let me leave early to play with you," King said as he found the string he was looking for with a smile. "But in return, he told me that I'd have to try extra hard when you all left to make up for it. I'm not good with weapons so I asked him to help me," King said as he gathered the pieces of paper tapping them on the ground to straighten them before rolling them up slowly and carefully so he didn't accidentally spill any.

"He said he'd help and we spent all of my free time last night designing this weapon. He even let me name it and everything!" King said as he tied the string around it carefully.

"Oh, well that was nice of him," Ember said as she looked at the male in front of her. King nodded and put the sheets of paper back in his toy chest and locked it.

"Yeah, after we were finished he told me that it's probably the most ambitious weapon ever made and that even if can be done it'll take years before it's ready," King said as he stood up and dusted himself off.

"Then why did you make it?" Ember asked as she looked at the male in front of him.

"Because I know Eclipse and Rain can make it work," King said as he walked over to the small bookshelf in his room and began to gather the books. "They're the smartest people I know, well apart from Xian, but he said he's not good with weapons so I should probably ask them. So, of course, they'll find a way to make it work," King said as he continued to look at the female in front of him.

Ember nodded hearing this and helped King pick up a few of the books. "Now come on, I'm sure the others are waiting for us," King said as he began to run out of the room. Ember nodded hearing this and began to walk behind King as he left the room. When he did Rain smiled hearing this and walked to the chest that King had placed the design for his weapon in, and smiled. He wanted to take it and show it to Eclipse just because of proud he was that King had thought of something like that.

However, he decided against it since this was supposed to something of a secret. Rain then shut the door and began to walk towards the library. When he did he saw Eclipse standing by the entrance looking at him. "So did you find anything?" Eclipse asked as she looked at the male in front of her. Rain was about to tell her the truth about what he had found. However, he didn't want her getting mad at King since he knew that at times she could be even more intense then Xiantao was.

"No, I didn't find anything, looks like you were just being paranoid after all," Rain said as he looked at the female in front of him unknowingly crossing his fingers behind his back as he did.

"Is that so?" Eclipse asked as she looked at the male in front of her before sighing. "Sorry for wasting your time then," Eclipse said as she looked at the male causing him to nod.

"I wouldn't worry about that, after all, your reasons were justified," Rain said as he looked at the female in front of him. 'Not to mention that you were right,' Rain thought to himself as he looked at the female in front of him. Eclipse nodded hearing this and presented the two wooden swords she had gotten for the male. Rain smiled seeing this and took them as he heard two sets of footsteps approaching him from behind.

Rain quickly hid the two swords as Ember and King ran past him. As they did King smiled seeing the rather large fort they had managed to build. "Here we brought these, they're all softback so they should make a soft bed in a worst case scenario," King said as he looked at the figures in front of him.

"We'll stay here and prepare the defenses, you two should go and gather some more supplies while we still can," Dillon said as he looked at the male in front of him. King and Ember both nodded hearing this and the two walked away to gather some more books. As they did King noticed that Ember was moving a bit slower than usual. He hadn't thought about it until now, but she did seem a bit more distant today than usual.

King tried to shrug this off and eventually came to a stop in front of a rather large picture of something that seemed to resemble a deer. "What's this?" Ember asked as she looked at the picture in front of her. King looked up and saw what she was looking at. "Oh, that's one of the great guardians," King said as he walked up to the picture.

"Oh . . . what's that?" Ember asked as she turned to look at the male.

"I don't remember how Xian explained it, but it was something like the god of light and the god of dark created a bunch of guardians to protect the world. So that parts of it didn't become too hectic," King said as he gathered some more books.

"Which one is this?" Ember asked as she looked up at the giant painting.

"Um . . . I think that's Porewit, he's the guardian of the forest that protects lost voyagers and punishes those that mistreat the forest," King said as he looked at the female in front of him.

"That's cool," Ember said in a slightly distant voice as she looked at the picture. King couldn't read her expression but she seemed a bit upset.

"Come on," King said as he began to walk away. However, it became very obvious that Ember hadn't heard what he had said being lost in her own thought. "Emma," King said snapping the female back to reality causing her to turn and looked at him.

"Is something wrong?" King asked as he looked at Ember. When he asked this Ember looked at him. "You seem a little upset, I hope something's not bothering you. Do you want to talk about it?" King asked clearly concerned about his friend. Ember smiled hearing this and shook her head.

"No, it's just," Ember said as she looked down. "K-King," Ember said as she looked up at the male in front of her. "Can I have a kiss?" Ember asked as she looked at King. When she this King's face turned a bright crimson red.

"A k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-kiss!" King exclaimed his face a bright red, he had been so caught off guard by the initial question that he almost dropped the stack of books he had been carrying. "Wh-wh-wh-wh-why would you want a kiss?" King asked as he looked at the female in front of him.

"I-It's just," Ember began as she looked down. "One of the girls that come to my house is always making fun of me because I haven't kissed a boy yet," Ember said as she looked down in front of her.

"Oh," King said as he looked at the female in front of him. King felt a bit conflicted hearing this and looked at Ember. "Okay," King said as he looked up at the female in front of him.

"Really?" Ember asked as she looked at the male in front of. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! I promise I won't tell anyone!" Ember said as she looked at the male in front of her.

"No, it's fine. You can tell others, people are just going to find out anyway so I don't see the point in keeping it a secret," King said as he looked at Ember. The female nodded hearing this and began to rapidly switch from one foot to another showing her excitement and making it look like she needed to use the bathroom. "I'm ready," Ember said as she looked at the male in front of her.

King nodded and his face turned incredibly red as he leaned forward being careful not to drop any of the books he was carrying on Ember and quickly kissed Ember. When King pulled away he smiled slightly as he looked at Ember who's her face now extremely red. "There now you've kissed a boy," King said with a smile. Ember stared at him a bit nervous hearing and nodded as she walked behind him.

"So what other guardians are there?" Ember asked as she looked at the male now seeming to be in a much better mood than before.

"Well, there are a lot of them. I don't remember most of them but I remember that Xian said our family made a deal with one of the guardians. The guardian of time, Chronos," King said as he looked at the female next to him.

"Really? That's so cool!" Ember said with a smile.

"Yeah, I think he was lying, but he said my family did something and in return, he gave us a gift. It was something about our blood," King said as he looked at the female beside him.

"You think he was lying?" Ember asked as she looked at the male in front of her causing him to nod.

"Yeah, I don't know why but the whole thing just sounds a bit farfetched," King said as he looked at the female in front of him. Ember nodded hearing this as the two arrived at the fort made of books.

"Where have you two been?" Vinnie asked as she looked at the two in front of her.

"King kissed me!" Ember said proudly with a confident and bright smile as she looked at the others.

"Lucky," Dillon said with a small amount of jealousy as he looked at King. However, before the others could question the two about what had happened Rain and Eclipse walked into the room.

"All right kids, it's time for-" Eclipse began as she looked at the fort they had managed to build. However, before she could finish she was cut off by one of them.

"Attack!" Ember yelled as she threw a book at them. When she did the others cheered and began to throw books at the two as well. While the two were able to easily hold off the children at first it didn't take long for them to become exhausted as the children continued to attack with reckless abandon.

"Retreat?" Rain asked as he managed to stop one of the children's attack. Eclipse nodded hearing this and the two ran out of the room. "So now what?" Rain asked as he looked at the female in front of him.

"We'll wait for them to get bored and come out on their own," Eclipse said as she looked at the male in front of her. Rain nodded hearing this agreeing with her plan and the two walked to opposite sides of the entrance and began to wait for the kids to emerge. After some time had passed Rain sighed and turned to look at the female next to him.

"I'm going in," Rain said as he looked at the female in front of him.

"Are you sure that's a good idea? What if they attack you again? Without me there to help-" Eclipse began as Rain held up his hand.

"Eclipse, they're kids throwing books. I think I'll live," Rain said as he slowly opened the door and began to make his way towards them. He climbed the fort and looked over the walls and smiled at what he saw. "Eclipse," Rain whispered as he looked at the female. When he did she walked over to the fort and looked over it. When she did she smiled seeing the five children asleep. "Look at how drained they are," Rain said as he looked at them.

"Aww, look at that," Eclipse said as she pointed to King and Ember. Rain then looked at the area she was pointing and saw that King and Ember had decided to sleep in one of the corners of the fort with Ember clinging to King as she fell asleep. Rain chuckled slightly seeing this and pulled himself over the walls.

"I guess we should carry them to bed," Rain said as he picked up one of the children. "We'll have to make multiple trips but-" Rain began only for Eclipse's yawn to wrap around the remaining children and lift them off the ground.

"You were saying," Eclipse said with a smug smirk.

"Let's just get them to their rooms," Rain said as he looked at the female.

"What about these two?" Eclipse asked as she looked at the male in front of her.

"She can sleep with King, after all, if things keep progressing the way they are it's only a matter of time before they share a bed together anyway," Rain said as he looked at the female, causing Eclipse to chuckle slightly, and nod as she carried the children to their room. Leaving Dillon, Javon, and Vinnie in a room.

As they did Rain began to stretch looking mildly uncomfortable as he did. "Is something wrong?" Eclipse asked as she looked at the male in front of him.

"I just don't see how they can sleep in such uncomfortable positions. Just thinking about it hurts back. I know most of them were sleeping on those makeshift beds but even so, books can't make a comfortable bed softback or not," Rain said causing Eclipse to chuckle. The two arrived at King's room shortly after this and Rain walked over to his bed and moved the cover off of him. When he did Eclipse gently laid the two on the bed changing their position slightly.

Feeling this sudden movement King and Ember shifted in their sleep slightly. However, something Eclipse noticed, and thought was rather cute, was that as the did Ember didn't stop clinging to King. Once the two had settled down Eclipse smiled and covered the two before she began to slowly make her way out of the room with a smile gently shutting the door as to not disturb the two.

Once she did Eclipse looked at the male with a smile and the two began to walk down the halls with him. "They look cute together, don't you think?"
