Today was one of the few days Gemikai had to show face. By show face, it means show up somewhere just so your presence is documented. Gemikai had just left the Lookout to stay vigilant down on the surface level. Master Dende thought it might be a good idea to keep his job and try his best to help the USD. Mainly because that wasn't an option when he first there on earth. Dende was sure to break down how small few defenders existed at one point - having the earth attacked the way it was. Gemikai did find the USD to be a means to an end, but his master asked him to reconsider. The USD to Dende can be a wonderful resource for lone warriors like Gemi to connect to a collective of people with a desire to fight for peace. Gemikai wasn't a big fan of cops but Master Dende suggested the term protector - or the term champion. The information was nicely absorbed into his head, waiting to burst Gemikai with stronger insight later on. Gemikai flew back down home taking the long way to the living quarters he was assigned in his district. At this point of the flight, this warrior wasn't used to the magnificent magnitude of the energy of the Lookout - and making your way down to the people below.



Everyone below seemed so small from up there, but from up there everyone is so cherished. Gemikai hadn't unlocked full empath abilities yet but he could feel Dende's appreciation and love for a race unlike his own. Gemikai was grateful to be training under such a big hearted master. At this point Gemi was closing in on the brackets of military space, still taking the speed of his body and energy easy. This was a point in the flying drive where Gemikai's brain started to create a proper focus for himself. Earth's enemies. A few months ago the thought of looking up onto the stars in a wondering aspect of outside enemies would be considered excessive. This morning, Gemikai has somehow transmuted a good deal of his emotional fear in offer to instead of running from earth's enemies to running towards them. Nothing hasty or crazy, but with his current clearance they don't pay Gemikai enough to be curious, but it wouldn't stop Gemikai. Flying is always excellent activity that still allows a person time and space to ponder, plot, and plan. It was extremely early but not enough to get fast food breakfast on the way home.


This delay was also to help him think of how to submerge himself in the information Gemi so desperately wanted. Training for battle was one thing, but actually engaging in combat in life or death was another. The early security career Gemikai used to have taught him to never go looking for trouble. Just help detour it away from private property. Far more simple then trying to keep peace in the entire universe. Gemikai scared the fast food breakfast lady with his flying abilities, but he was so polite and fast she never got the chance to ask him how he was flying. It was still unheard of to many who choose to be outdated. It's villages and towns far away from other big nations. Places with no TV. Some could feel the ground shake or the energy in the air change - but not people accepting the gifts of the supernatural. Seeing it on TV was one thing, but up in person creates a new picture. A new picture for life and possibility. But we can get to all that another time, because Gemi just arrived at his living chambers. Releasing his breakfast onto the table with his left, his right was moving to close and lock the door - Gemikai had made it home safely from Master Dende's palace. It had been his first time coming back down from the lookout.


This district wasn't his usual district but it was more powerful. Gemikai was on the newer agent district originally, but due to what the trainers seen in him they asked him to help the other agents out in a bigger location. So for the moment this living quarters and the base of operations are different from his usual joint. Gemikai begin cleaning up his room as his mind once again went to wondering. Once cleaning was finished it was time to eat - Gemikai tries not to eat in a dirty house. No it wasn't dirty, but Gemikai had the energy to clean - so like he was raised he cleaned. Now that the boy had the strength of a man, Gemikai finally dropped his full weight on his Queen sized bed in the most natural way possible. Alarm noises. Outside was new cadets of the USD heading out to their morning training, something Gemikai wasn't required to do. It was like the moment he headed to bed the building wanted to wake up, and Gemikai didn't do much but pull the covers over himself and yawn. Before the young king went to sleep he had thoughts. Thoughts of being strong enough to handle protecting his planet. It was a new sensation that brought about all kinds of emotions the demon type wasn't used to.

"This strength isn't enough yet. My power won't grow from just vigorous practice. I'll need to refocus my studies. I need to take the path less likely traveled. If I can't find that strength I'll make it myself!"



A man with nothing on his mind with nothing but greatness, is a man on his way to success. A man staring into his ceiling with hopes of nothing short of greatness, Gemikai finally took a last glass of water to the head and released himself from the physical, and attempted to head to the dream world. Sleep a beautiful thing. Gemikai didn't fall into a blissful forgetful sleep dream though, instead his spirit consciousness took him to Renso's castle. Renso's Castle. A magical construct in a dimension connected to Gemikai's mental and spiritual realm. Gemikai was somehow falling into complete darkness again just like the first time he somehow spontaneously visited - though this time wouldn't be from conscious meditation - but from natural sleep. Last time his power level was as half as it is now, maybe that's why the process was slower, but today Gemikai's astral falling speed was incredibly increased. Gemikai was told by Renso a while ago the stronger the body and mind is the better the spiritual connection. It was long long before the castle was visible and the king of the castle was always waiting on him. Gemikai was confused, surprised, and alert at the same time. Spirit feet has finally hit the castle floor successfully. Gemikai remembered being pulled out of the castle when his energy went beyond use to remain in the realm. In fact, the warrior was yanked out of that realm. So despite the sparkling relationship with Renso - the realm had its own rules to be mindful of. Renso had stepped forward to meet his student as politely as he usually does, his energy felt cheerful - though with his dog head it was sometimes hard to tell.
"Hey Renso. How did I get here this time? Am I in meditation? This place has gotten much clear and filled up. Has this place changed? Sorry a little too confusing to be more modest. I just don't be having control over this shit yet. It's so off guard."


"Greetings Young Gemikai. No you aren't exactly in meditation. This time you definitely fell asleep. It looks like your energy somehow created a backdoor to getting back here - and with your recent training - you have semi learned how to travel here. I wasn't sure if dreams blocked our connection but looks like it doesn't. As your power grow I suspect communication like this will continue to grow. It's spontaneous I myself must admit."

"I'm asleep but present & here? Is there a reason? Is this unconscious magick at play? I'm curious on what pulled me here instead of my usual dream system. - oh well. How have you been in here?"

"You care? That's interesting. I didn't think I was doing good at first, but soon some changes started and now I'm a little bit more excited for what's to come of us."

"What do you mean? Changes? I mean I do get a different vibe from this place but it's not like I've ever had a tour either."

"Follow me. I'll show you the important stuff. Something relevant to your senses of change."

The King made no movements of delay as he walked past the young blood and continued his thrust forward - moving to this random stair case Gemikai didn't notice was even there. Gemi felt like something was so different but he was also still new to all of this so he kept up with Papa Renso. Down the stairs the two moved - with Renso walking like he owns the place, and Gemikai almost testing every stair on his way to the destination. It amazed him to no end sometimes how amazing magick can be. The final step revealed a room of beauty. The eyes of Gemikai had laid eyes on what seem to be a library wing inside this castle. And the size of this library was large to say the least. This was what Gemikai felt when he knew something was different. The castle has expanded or revived this library. Renso took him to a spot to see the landscape better. Once a good spot was established an explanation was brought fourth.

"Recently the castle has been reacting to your increase of strength. It has revealed my library of books I've read, memory keys, notes, algorithm, and anything I've ever knew, seen, or thought I knew - all in this room. One day I woke up and this room was here. The information me and this castle has is still under construction, but the arrival and the information here is potent enough to increase your power much further! It's all jumbled so the cleaner the room gets the better this information transfers to the library of knowledge you already have in your head. it's current much weaker because of your human physical expression; however, my magic grow stronger with you everyday so your library will start expanding till a possible merger - it's a later down the line ritual for another day."


"So this is hidden knowledge of your power now accessable through the books of this castle? All we gotta do is organize and read to relearn your magical journey, research, and development. Seems kinda heavy but let's just jump in and see how we could grow. This size and collection is just wonderful. Let's not let it go to waste."


With that said, was the next level of Renso and Gemikai's training. This library contained so many years of magical practices by demons that were studied or practiced. Stuff Renso forgot he'd even learn because it was so much knowledge and magic he's been through. They spent a great deal trying to organize the information. Soon they found scared text and scrolls. This place was expanding like no other. Those two came up with an idea to get the ball rolling for the near future. Gemikai had to pick some books he wanted - ones Renso approved that was around his level and alignment - and Renso would keep those specifically so that the instructor can go over them while Gem was active in the day. Instead of waiting till meditation or sleep - The right book at an all time access will get it all understood faster. It was so much knowledge it really opened Gemikai's eyes to how powerful Renso was. Gemikai took a bow for a formal and spontaneous goodbye.

"Excellent. I can't wait to get back so we can start training. Choose between these three for the first one. I want to practice how to come and go from here. Last time I left so fast my head was pounding when I got up. I want to try to work with the magic this time. We can call it extra training."

"Alright. Me either. I'll read this over a few so we can have a clear way to proceed. Look up to the space and open yourself to your desire to head back up gracefully. It's taking you the slow way because you are still learning but just command it will your will power and things will happen. It's your magic as well."

The moment of truth. Gemi headed back upstairs to the main room - where the ceiling feels like a portal of space replacing the ceiling. The man closed his eyes and begin to silence his fear and open up to his will power. It took a while but eventually a spiritual connection was formed and Gemikai was lifted out of the castle - and back to his body. Gemi woke up for a few minutes to confirm his information with Renso, that it wasn't just a fruitfulness wishful thinking, and after that the man went the hell to bed. What kind of new series of books will Renso put Gemikai through? Who will Gemikai have to show face for? And just how much do the Demon Witch-King Renso know? Find out on the next episode.
