Makato wakes form his sleep, "Whoa what was that? Are we under attack?" He runs up to the observatory to warn Argo. "Hey we are under... waht is that your doing?" he says as he backs away

*argo is back to normal* " no worries. to be frank with you a demon was apparrently possessing you slightly. He must've infiltrated right before I picked you up. He must've come under the castles defences. it would explain why he was able to resist my purges. however, no worries now. I did sweep of the sanctuary so as to uproot any intruders."
"there's no need to worry. we should start your training soon" >I need to make this child stronger so that he can resist simple mind influences.< "Meet me down in the training hall in 30 minutes. It's down the stairs and behind the main seat in the gathering hall" *starts to walk away* "oh, and by the way. word of caution. don't just go running around in the castle without an escort or exact directions. You were lucky you didn't get lost."

*up from behind makato appears what seems to be a bunch of floating runes.* (best way to describe is that it looks similar to an elemental for ff10) "greetings" says the wispy voice "I'm noruzu, and master argo has ased me to be your guide throughout the castle while he's away."

"don't worry. you will understand in time. the only reason you haven't gotten a full explaination is because the master is expecting many more people, likr yourself to awaken. In the past, there have been on average 1 every 200-300 years."

"hehe, this will be a bit different from physical training." *starts to lead makato to the training area* "you see, most people can train the mind and bidy with relative easy. what we'll be working on is your essence, or spirit as some call it.
