On the World of Kai's known as, Core World the Supreme Kai sat at a long dining table outside of a modest and small dome shaped home. Tea and appetizers were set out of many different planets delicacies. Today was special, because it was time for a Guardian Kai to be granted their Potara and take on the full duties of Guardian for a planet and it's people. Though the Kai had been doing the job for some time now, it was more an internship without over sight. Nadir believed the Kai had been doing a great job even with all the difficulties and great changed for the life and planets she was assigned. Nadir had sent the Guardian of Earth Vo Land to feth the chosen Kai. Since his teleportation abilities were the best, even among those meant to oversee the universe. At that moment for Nen no matter where she was or what she was doing, Vo Land would suddenly materialize with a slight shimmer to his image as if falling from a short height and landing a few feet from her.

She was fidgeting in front of a mirror for hours.
She couldn’t help but smile wide as she grabbed her belts and as she wrapped herself in divine garbs her exposed toes danced as she hummed. “Today’s the big day!”
She grabbed her staff and it wasn’t much but a pretty stick for now but when she masters her Magic it will absolutely be a great tool. At the very least she felt she looked like a divine worth her wisdom salt. She made one last recount of all she owned in her dormitory for studious Kai and would have it shipped to her new station soon after.
Nodding in bold confirmation that she was ready and grabbed a heavy sack full of notes about what she needed to know to be a good Divinity and left out the door to be welcomed by Vo Lang.
She knew of him and was delighted to see him. Her head and chest fell low from the waist in greeting before coming up again quickly.
“Afternoon Master Vo Lang. I am very grateful to you for helping me this day.”

Vo almost grimaced into a smirk at the greeting. He had forgotten how chipper Nen could be, but returned the motion out of respect since Nen was actually of the race of the gods. He also didn't want to dirupt her very special and joyous day, so he could only attempt to support her on her happy day.
"It's not a problem, Nen... Or should I be saying Guardian Nen now?"
He'd hold out a hand for her to take so that she could show she was ready to go.

The power that Vo Lang carried was very much respected amongst others even if Nen was much older she viewed him with high regards.
She seemed to swell with joy almost too literally when he called her guardian, even if she was not quite honored as one yet it was pretty much official. Unless the universe stopped existing in the next few minutes it was definitely really happening she could hardly believe it. When her shoulders tensed up and her chest inhaled deep and it was an image almost like she was about to burst but exhaled calming down only just slightly. She needed to be a well put together and composed being. She needed to be strong, wise, and… most of all punctual.
Without another moment wasted she took Vo Lang’s hand. “Ready.”

Closing his eyes for a moment Vo would lock on to Nadir's Ki and whoosh, for only the most notable second Nen would see flashing, shifting, multi-colored lights before they would pop in on the scene with the dining table. The Supreme Kai, Nadir would put down her cup and get up to walk over and give Nen a hug.
"Welcome Home, Nen! Before we get started let me say I'm very proud of you and I wish to congratulate you on the appointment officially."
Vo would walk over to the table and pull out a chair for Nen and wait, since Nadir was always about the pleasantries, he didn't assume Nen would sit down anytime soon.

She hugged the Supreme Kai and the familiarity let go of most, but not all, the proper respect she was hoping to maintain the higher position.
“Thousands of years of studying and praying finally can amount to something. I’m positively honored and excited.” She broke the hug and stared into her eyes with a determined smile she spoke softer than when she had been speaking to Vo and she held a more proper posture. “The challenge will be great but I hope I can help make a difference.”

"I'm sure you will Nen, but remember the job is to keep the balance and watch over all life on the planet Plant. That is pretty much the only rule for a Guardian."
The Supreme Kai would turn towards the table and keeping a hand on Nen's shoulder would extend the other.
"Please, sit."
Vo would nod to the chair he pulled out, but also add.
"Really, you can have as much involvement or as little involvement as you want to have. Just make sure not to cause a catastrophe... Well not too many anyways."
It was a jest, but his tone would make it seem like it was okay to have at least a couple of catastrophic events under your belt.

She pressed her lips thin and made a little mildly pitched “Hm” before speaking. “Oh very certain we don’t need another tragedy considering the more recent events.”
She sat down and scooted herself closer a tad. “I don’t really want to get involved much but the life there is just starting out and beginning live cohesively with the natural world itself. And much of it has been through a lot. I hardly know what to expect.”
“I’ve had a few ideas that I might take inspiration from previous and current Kai Guardians.” She shrugged. “The humans which have newly settled and began to shape the planet. I feel sympathy for them and it will be a heavy burden of anything else happens to them or the planet itself.”

The Supreme Kai would wander over and take her own seat, while Vo also sat down. He nodded to Nen's words, as it wasn't a planet he was familiar with.
"I met some of those people on Namek. Tuffle's. Very smart, very observant. Personally feel they are a hardy group with a bright future. I do not envy your journey though. If you need help with anything I can see what I can do if you reach out."
Nadir would sip some of her tea before speaking.
"What would be your current plan then, once the title and ceremony is over?"

She rummaged in her bag and pulled out a couple of touristy pamphlets.
“I’ve read these which have helped me see more into what they’ve accomplished and how it looks just a bit. But I think I want to get closer and get to know these intelligent people a bit personally. Watch how the wildlife interacts see how the world will change. So I definitely need to spend many years with my toes on the ground to get a closer look at the details since I’ve seen the big picture as it is already.”
She rummaged through to find something else pulling out her divine notes before putting those back in. Then pulling out a really cute looking pop CD before shoving that back in really quickly, hoping no one saw. Then she pulled out a worn and tabbed notebook that was labeled with delicate hand writing.
“My various plans are compiled in here.” She tapped the front. “I’ve got a few things that are kind of like rules to prevent scenarios leading to catastrophic events as well as saving possibly extinct species which are core to the ecosystems. Maybe aid someone of considerable heart and intelligence to become a prime champion of the planet itself. In its early years it’s people might need a role model or a few of its own caliber.” She started to put that notebook away. “But most of it is just theoretical.”

Vo missed the CD, mostly because Nadir had seen it and choked on her tea a bit. However, when Nen finished both were impressed. "You've put quite a bit of thought into it." Vo would comment, while the Supreme Kai grinned wide. "I can't wait to see how it all turns out, Nen." At that time another figure would walk out of the house carrying a small red pillow. A look of disdain, seemed to be very cleverly masking a hidden look on the face of the Kai that would approach the table. "Getting close to them can also lead to a different kind of catastrophe, Guardian. Remember to keep a form of distance between you as you are a deity to the mortals." Nen would know this person as the one who watches over the cardinal Kai's, and the world of heroes where the most valiant of the universes people are allowed to live after death. The Grand Kai.

She was very pleased they approved of her ideas and plans. It made her feel she was on the right path. So much so she beamed bright with her smile as she tucked away the notebook into the bag and didn’t notice the Grand Kai until they spoke.
She raised her head sharply and shot up to sit straight in her chair with a posture as squared as a board.
“Good day to you Grand Kai.” She spoke while flattening her robes neatly and she poke in a calm tone. “I appreciate your insight… might I ask you to elaborate? It is my first time seeing so many mortals up close,” she looked to Vo but he certainly was one she was used to seeing. “Other than the special occasions, I’d be grateful to hear your experience.”

The Grand Kai would approach and the others at the table would also adjust somewhat. The Grand Kai while being under Nadir, the Supreme Kai in rank; was not afraid to correct behavior or scold someone to adhere to their station. So he would lean in with the small pillow and place it on the table in front of Nen, on it two golden orbed earrings would lay.
"Attachment... It is a natural occurrence for Kaioshin. We create, watch over, guide, and are meant to care for all life. But, it is possible for that sentiment to attach with greater strength to those you spend too much time around and then you will lose them. Danger, disease, natural occurrences, old age. You have lived and will live longer than most civilizations, entire races of beings, the life span of planets. The kind of damage that kind of loss can do to a Kai, is far more dangerous than any God of Destruction."
Nadir would curtly put her tea cup down with a bit of a clatter, and The Grand Kai would clear his throat before moving to take his own seat.

Nen raised a finger to her chin in a curved and pondering expression. One of which was given very searching eyes into her mind.
“I understand the danger is true…” she breathed. “However to make a point… I believe to hold onto life no matter the weight of our love is… just Greed. Also the afterlife is a good and peaceful place. I can’t imagine not wanting this for those we love. Now forgive my inexperienced point of view for what it lacks.”
She breathed a calming breath. “It was not a statement that held little emotion. It was thought in putting what is best for that life before me. It is the example I hope to keep in mind when faced with the moment. Life is indeed a beautiful thing and the cycles in which it’s natural order flows must continue to weave its cloth.”
The earrings which came into view were not escaping her notice but she was a patient Divine and she prayed that the universe remained its existence for a little while more. She laid eyes on them and instead of getting excited she was filled with a revived sense of peace and responsibility after what she just said. They already began to feel heavy and she had yet to adorn them upon her ears.

The Grand Kai would nod when Nen said her piece. Even for a second there might even be a hint of a smirk though it would likely have just been wishful thinking to see the Grand Kai have any other look on his face other than an intense glare.
The Supreme Kai however smiled wide and clapped two or three times.
"Well said, Nen."
She praised before getting up herself and approached Nen's side before clearing her throat.
"Now, with the presentation of these Potara Earrings, I will explain their purpose. These Gold colored Earrings will give you an innate understanding of the worlds under your protection. Anything you didn't know before about the people, plants, or animals that live there will become an open book to you. These earrings are drawn to each other to make up the perfect pair, cut from the same core of a solar system. Thus you must also protect them. They can be used to fuse two beings together."
The Grand Kai would chip in once more.
"It is rare, but some magically inclined beings, greedy creatures, or power hungry war mongers seek out the earrings to force themselves to fuse with a Kai and obtain our life spans and abilities. Not only that but the earrings also make the new joined being stronger than the two were separate. It doesn't just add the two beings together, it makes them both individually stronger before making them one. and then adding that together."
