Welcome to Gaia! ::

There had been unpleasant feeling sitting in his chest over the past few weeks and it was getting worse. He knew what it was of course, the constant feeling of stress, of having to do so much and maybe not even being able to make a difference. Tolin wasn't helping with it at all.

And the bug was asking quite a bit. The Leafeon doesn't feel that anyone in this room could emotionally be able to do what he was asking. He had been ready to die for quite a while. But he could not let go of Minerva specifically, and there is hell to be raised if any direct harm comes to her. Weak and frail or not, Arceus's power waning or not, he was still a channeler of God's wrath.

Anmd oh great, Darkrai just had to be involved as well, lovely. What next? Groudon and Kyogre are gonna wake and wage war again? And great, they can't count the Bug Pendant in their grasp either.

Then came the quick update about the guilds. The Leadership had been hit hard, and the ranks needed to be refilled. He was a little skeptical about Epitaph -the Flareon was a newcomer to the Kingdom afterall and he knew little of her- but she could keep Solaris in line and that was good. It mattered little anyways. The empty slot of second-in-command was much more pressing in its need to be filled.

It was not fighters they needed. They were needed, but not in the leadership roles. They needed the experienced, those who knew what they are doing. Those who knew how to deal with the people and the political system. He needed someone who could run the guild in his place if he were to die or become incapable of leading.

And like hell he'd leave Solaris the only one left to take the position. With Lucy's obligations to her hospital and patients he can't ask her to take over either, not when so many casualties will be had. There was one person he could trust.

"Minerva will be the second-in-command for the Guild of the Sun." He replied to Tolin. Pluto knew that Minerva would not object.

Now to gather allies. Pluto will have to visit his own home. He shall give those in his security forces a choice to join him at the Sun Guild; the safety of his own estate mattered little now. There are also old teams that are still active but have left the guild...some might be called back with the danger of the pendants. Leonard had acquaintances and Thanatos might still remember some of notable strength.

And by now something like Rev's story was no longer much of a shock after everything that has happened. Just another fantastic story to be added to the growing pile. He shifted away the information in his mind to be analyzed more closely later, and no doubt his memory will be helped by the recording Adme had made.
