I return to my castle, tailored to my every last whim. It is in a medieval style, made of a combination of limestone and brick. As I approach through a grassy field, more of the castle comes into view, two prominent towers reach up towards the sky in the front two corners. The main building connects to these two towers; along the front a colored brick mosaic is placed. The mosaic is one of a dark blue knight shield that ends in points in the corners. Two creatures appear to be holding up the shield, one being a dark red fox with a white tail and snout; The other being a smoky sloth, using its claws to hold on to the shield.

Two gargantuan fountains sit in the front garden, spouting crystal clear water all day and night. The marble shines from the water coating reflecting sunlight, emphasizing the structure of them. I move to the right fountain and admire the defined reflection it gives; making my blue eyes stand out and making my slender upper body apparent. I look up and see the many tiers of the fountain, each tier with a menagerie of cats playing. From the main view, there appears to be a cat peering around the corner at myself on the second tier. It is actually staring at one of the cats using its paws to take a look at the cat on its back playing with another.

Taking in the rest of the kitty fountain, I turn around and see the Atlas fountain. the planet turns from water spouting between Atlas's back and the planet, which is geographically accurate to my own world. The two main land masses are cut in half by a large ocean, knowing whats on the back, I can tell you that another ocean effectively separates my world into two continents. The marble planet almost eclipses the sun from the position that its in, since Atlas is raising the planet higher than most statues have him doing. Feeling exhilarated by the art, I walk beyond the fountains and into the main garden, where the entrance is.

I arrive to the main courtyard leading to the door, admiring my collection of foreign flowers. I stop to grab a hold of a Turquoise flower, the small petals all curl inwardly into a crimson center. The flower curls further as I touch it, releasing a white cloud. The white puff has a smell very similar to Vanilla, but not quite the same. Ending my break, I continue to the wooden door, which sits in a white frame. I open the door to be greeted by the grand sight that is the entry hall.

A large golden chandelier, holding many candles, dimly lights up the rest of the room, revealing the dark blue paint on the walls. Heading toward my room, I head up one of the two curving stairs that lead to a balcony hallway, which connects the west and east wing of the castle. I turn down the east hall way to the library first, but as I turn the corner the person I was looking for was facing me.

I stop abruptly to avoid knocking the frail looking man over. "Hello Simon, how are you today?" I ask.

"Hello master, I fee-"

"You can just call me Jared, as I've told you the past 100 times," I said, cutting him off.

"Well, I am your minion-librarian, and in turn I feel that I should address you as such, for the 100th time," Simon retorts. I sigh looking at the old man, wearing his usual black robes, which flow off of his body and on to the floor slightly. The robe has a bleach white crescent moon embroidered near the chest, leaving a eerie white glow, with several little stars also giving off a slight light as well. Combined with this he wears a matching black, traditional wizard's hat, ending in a point that is always crooked. His face supports many wrinkles, but don't you dare mention them, and his nose projects slightly out from his face. Underneath the short nose he has thin lips that bestow wisdom upon movement. After a short pause he asks "How come you didn't use Manabu against the last Overlord you fought…, what was his name again? Murray?" Simon questions.

"Well the One's assistant wouldn't let me, I had to use the magic from the library," I note.

"Ah, then it's a good thing I keep your library of magics up-to-date then," Simon says assuringly, "In fact, I was just coming from there, I had just finished with adding in Murray's lightning abilities."

"That's where I was heading, to see what you were doing, but since you're here where are the pra-!?"

As I was finishing my sentence, 6 figures rushed me and tackled me to the ground. "You're home master!" one of the Prans exclaims. The small female figures all had long droopy ears that hung out to the sides. I placed my hand on one of their heads and greeted "Hello girls, but I've told you I don't feel comfortable with you calling me master." "Well, we are going to do it anyways," says Batilde sassily, she is growing to be quite the tough girl.

"Oh my, it seems that you have decided to begin wearing chain mail already," I mention.

"Simon said I need to get used to the weight, if I want to fight with a sword and shield," she explains.

"Ah, well it's good that you listen to him, I see that you went with a yellow tint in it," I tell her.

"Yes!, of course I went with yellow... did you forget my favorite color already?" her ears drop and her expression turns to sorrow.

"Of course not Batilde, I remember all of your favorite colors: Rhonda's is Orange, Meira's is Cyan, Lilit's is Royal purple, Rosalina's is Dark blue, Arabella's is Red, and yours, of course, is yellow," I answer. Her ears perk up and I get her bright smile to return.

I gesture for the girls to get off me, and I stand up. "I suppose you may do as you wish," I comment, "but I would rather that you didn't-"

"Master Master!" Rhonda yells, cutting me off.

"What?" I ask.

"Simon had us all work on a painting, and Lilit kept trying to mess us up, and Rosalina kept trying to boss us around, and-"

"Rhonda, calm down, I'm sure it turned out fine regardless," I said soothingly.

"We put it in your room," she tells me as she grabs my hand to lead me to my room. Just as I begin to follow behind her, I feel a tap on my lower back. I turn to see Meira, clutching her brown teddy bear as she always does.

"J-Jared?"

"Yes, Meira?"

"Are you going away again soon? I miss you."

"Well I miss you girls too, but I must make sure other people are as safe as you girls are," I sincerely reply.

"Yo, I hate to interrupt this touching moment, but I need you back to the Bleach world, Abaddon and Dracul are acting up there," The One's assistant commanded.

I look straight down, not making eye contact with any of the prans, and scratch the back of my head. After a few moments; I take a quick glance up, and meet Rosalina's eyes. The other girls still have happy or slightly confused faces, but Rosalina knows.

"You're leaving again, aren't you?" she questions forcefully.

I snap my vision back down to the floor, leaving a silence in the room.

"Yea…" I answer, just as I finish I get sent to the Bleach world.

"Humph, I'm going training," Batilde groans, stomping away.

"Knew it," Rosalina states maliciously.

"I'm sure he will be back, and will spend weeks with us," Rhonda speaks with uncertainty.

"More reason to dislike him, I guess," Lilit declares.

"Guess I will be my room; I need to redo my makeup," Arabella announces while leaving.

"B-but we h-had something to show y-you…" Meira says, fighting back tears every few words. This manages to stop the other prans from parting. Then the prans attempt to comfort her, but she sprints out of the castle, sobbing the entire way.

I get to the Bleach world, looking around I see a destroyed tower, and I see 9 humanoids in black and white clothing to the left, on the right I see a ball of fire and several humanoids in all white. I do not sense any large amounts of mana, so I sit myself on the edge of a building and await Dracul or Abaddon, contemplating how the prans had taken my abrupt exit. Just then I hear Simon's withered voice, "Well, Meira ran away crying immediately as you disappeared, right now the other prans are looking for her."

I sigh, "Tell her that I will miss her, along with all of the prans."

"I will, master," Simon replies.
