Thread: Guardian's Journey

Thomas Wyse The One with an aura of Kindness and Love Guardians 1. Artemis 2. ??? 3. ??? 4. ??? 5. ??? 6. ??? Thomas blinked, suddenly he was alone. With all three Gijinka off on their own the fatigue of the journey and the day had finally hit him. Letting out a tired sigh he gripped his bag and headed for the showers. The cool water ran down his body as his mind was lost on the events of that evening. So much had happened since he left on this journey, closing his eyes Thomas began to wash his hair. This wasn't the kind of journey he was expecting, to get loosely tangled up with gangs. Still even if he had left Kiara she would have been probably beaten to death by her boss. She was strong, but the way she made the leader of her gang sound he was stronger. Right now he wanted to avoid all contact with that group and push ahead. That would be the best strategy for now, then maybe take the group's leader out later with a few powerful, fully evolved Guardians. He had seen a side of Artemis he hadn't seen. She was tough and chivalrous but it seemed that she was very attached to him as well. It was flattering, how she clung to him like that. How she defended his honor. Thomas frowned he hated being treated like some kind of spectacle though. Look it's the boy with the loving aura! Watch him laugh and dance for your amusement! He'll give you lots of hugs and kisses too! He's the poor boy from poor town ready to make you smile! That was stupid all humans, no anyone with two arms could be loving. Why were all the eyes on him? What the Innkeeper had said bothered him a little. Thomas was just like the other trainers! He was just on this journey to live out his dreams! Maybe win the money at the end, though that wasn't his focus. Drying himself off he'd leave those thoughts in the showers. Thomas felt refreshed as he entered the lounge. No doubt the others would show up, for the time being it was best to leave them be. Artemis, Kiara, and Dendra, had their own thoughts to attend to. Still he would be there if they needed him. Relaxing on one of the couches he stared up at the ceiling. He had a hunch Kiara was going to become his next Guardian, he would ask her tonight. Sure she had tried to rob him, wounded Artemis, and probably make him a target, but there was something about the Houndour that drew him to her, something about her aura. While he watched Artemis fight he had noticed how powerful the fire type was. He could use someone like her on his team because, like it or not, Artemis couldn't do everything. Plus he felt like Kiara had no where to go, but that could have just been him feeling guilty for getting in her way. Dendra was different, she had a gang, friends. She was about as strong as a paper bag, but to be fair she was weak to ground too. What he had noticed about the Croagunk was that she was fast, but seemed kind of distant? He wasn't a psychic but he had noticed her pull up her hoodie when they walked to the Inn. Thomas felt there was more to her though, heck if she wanted to become his Guardian too he wouldn't complain but she was tied down. When she pulled away from him earlier and began talking on her phone he figured she'd probably just stay for a meal then return to her gang. It was a shame, but he wasn't going to force anyone to join his group. Hopefully Artemis was alright, he was a little worried about her when she had just walked off somewhat embarrassed. Closing his eyes he also pinched his nose. There were supplies he needed to buy as well as getting food and planning routes. While his Guardians would battle it was the Trainer's job to make sure there were enough provisions and supplies to last most of the trip between Inns and towns. He'd worry about that later, maybe a small nap would be best for now? After all he was more tired than hungry.
