It had been a few days since they left from the Tarnathian Port. The seas had been calm for most of the trip, and the crew seemed confident that the good weather would remain. Regnir was at the back of the boat, staring into the surf. The woman, now wearing much lighter attire, walked to his right side and put her arm around him. He jumped, and looked to see what that touch was. He calmed a bit when he saw who it was.

"Hello! Beautiful, the ocean, isn't it?" Her smile was enhanced by the brightness of the day.

"Yes... ...I guess that it is." Regnir looked to be deep in thought, and his words were not much more than a mumble.

The woman look at Regnir and laughed. "You know, I never did tell you my name, Reggie!" When he had told her his name, she laughed, and nicknamed him Reggie. "Whether you want to know it or not, I'm going to tell you!"

"That's fine with--"

"Tsauchi!" She bursted out. Regnir jumped back a bit, not expecting her to cut off his sentence.

"Nice to meet you Tsauchi. My name is Reggie T." He laughed, and she joined him.

"Well Mr. T, I'm going to go talk to the captain, and see when we'll be pulling into port!" She giggled, and walked towards the other end of the boat.

After riding the sea for a few hours (and after dealing with a brief confrontation with the Crescent Pirates), the island of Tsauchi's Kingdom was finally in view. The boat pulled into port, and everyone got off, everyone but Regnir, who remained on the boat, staring blindly towards the ocean. Tsauchi ran back onto the boat. "What are doing here? We're at the island!"

"Sorry. I just don't know if this is right for me. I used to be part of--" Again, he was cut off.

"Don't be silly! You're here for a reason. Your destiny awaits!" She laughed at her seemingly profound statement.

"You're right. Let's go." Regnir smiled. The sun was beginning to set. Reggie and Tsauchi walked towards the towering castle up ahead, a bright grin on each of their faces.

Upon meeting the Shogun, Denryuu Dashio, Regnir was appointed a Daitoku. Using the power of Brigid and magic, he grew stronger each day, but not without the help of others of the Kingdom. Regnir and Tsauchi spent time together every so often, but what eventually becomes of their friendship will remain unsaid.

This story is an ongoing one. There is not an end to it, at least not yet. Each day Regnir grows more powerful, and each day he prays to Brigid, thanking her for this new and wonderful life she blessed him with.

I hope you liked it. You can find me on GK as Daitoku Tesd'nah Regnir (Bakugun).
