The shell paused as she didn’t follow the male. She didn’t speak she merely let her eyes with their liquid silver gaze be shadowed. Her fingers clenched together as she took those words and thought about them. Let them wash over her very being as if they had been slaps. She couldn’t undo the years of neglect and wrong teaching, she couldn’t even in a second remove the horrid atrocities they had been forced to do in the name of the greater good. She had known this when she had decided to try to pick up the remains of her people and draw them together, with their own progenitor gone, with the world changing it was the only thing she could do. Yet. . Why did it hurt for her? Why did it cause her to feel nothing but hatred to those who held the position that had originally been that of the father of the quincy. Yhwach? She did not know however what she did know was right now as she was she did not have the answers that this male asked, that this male wanted. However she also. . well with these emotions that bloomed in her chest she knew what she wanted to say, which was why as she exhaled slowly the fog raising from her rosy and plump lips, as her eyes cast across the ground she said.

”..I am not strong.”

Her words seemed to quiver with geniune emotion, at the thought of what has happened to the quincy of how they had only just began to bounce back, and yet had been shunned once more. How they had been left with only the tatters of a dream that once they sought. It caused her to almost wobble her voice husky from all the pain she felt for them , for the quincy that she loved with every being of her heart. With every ounce of her soul, she loved her people, she wished they would go far, and she would sacrifice anything for them. No pain was to great, no gap was to far, no power was to much if it was for her people. She would forge the very fires of hell or battle legions if thats what it took. Hence as she exhaled she pushed the shell to the side, pushed all those prideful remarks and cool responses to the very depths and left them there. This wasn’t the shell cool and calculated speaking to the male now as she exhaled shakily and decided to be honest.

”..And i may be a tad too proud.”

The harsh reality of her words caused her to bite her lower lip and grip the hem of her shirt. Because even now without the rigidity of her shell, or her task what was she? She was but that girl in edo a thousand years ago who hadn’t answers, had her entire life ahead of her with nothing to say for where she would be, where she would go. And to be honest? It scared the living hell out of her. It still did. With the gaping jaws of eternity staring her down, she still didn’t know how her life would end, how she would meet her own demise. If she would fade into the void, to be forgotten by time, or if she would truly make a safe place for her people. She didn’t know anything even if she pretended to know everything. She was but a single person and even with all this determination, this . . Drive to make her people great she was afraid, afraid she wouldn’t be able to get them out of the mess her people had been left in.

”..I am a small girl, Ginryu Ishida. One that wishes to do better for her people.”

Her expression changed now as she exhaled slowly and began to let her energy change and warp around her fingertips. Maybe it was his brutal honesty, maybe it was because he was such an outsider that she could level with him, and get pure honesty in return. Maybe that was the makings of an individual who she could eventually come to trust, however she knew now what she needed to do. This male well she thought maybe it was fate, or possibly it was just something more happening. Whatever the case, as energy began to roll from her fingertips she tapped into her cardinal ability, the theoretical ability to absorb energy to a point of inifinity, and came to work , first it would gather the energy in a mile radius , the free floating reishi would begin to merge inwards into a single condensed point before the female had exhaled and then thought about maybe just maybe this was what she needed. Not loyalty, not integrity, just transparent honesty. So as she seemed to figure out what she wanted to say she’d simply glance forward.

”..Which is why Ishida”

Her words seemed to be soft, like a maiden who just simply did not know how to say she needed help. He wasn’t strong, as was the normal criteria for such a position, but for ages? It had been their job to advise the leaders of the quincy, and now? It would be anothers job, as she was done with her own place she would take the helm and she would take this to a higher place, a better place. She was not strong herself, she was not perfect by herself but. She would make up for it, just like her people she would fight. Fight for what she needed to do and she had softly let her hair billow out infront of her as the wind seemed to rush them, snow and ice howling in her ears as if sensing her moment of weakness, the weakness she chose to show ishida because she felt she could trust him.

”..I may not be perfect, but since it’s within my power i feel it’s only fair if i give the quincy a fighting chance hence. . .”

Her lips seemed to curve into a smile, even though she was hurting, she was sad and lonely and didn’t know what she was doing, even if she was a being of thousands of years old, one that liked to boast about how powerful and how sure she was of herself, how she knew she was doing the right thing. Yet she’d finally finish the sentence her lips exhaling as she thought of a name. Elect. thats what i will be.

”..As the Elect of the Vandenreich i Rakkī yajirushi Date Appoint you as the next Sternritter Grandmaster Of the Vandenreich. “

Now? She could only wait for his reply.

The young man was irritated beyond his natural tolerance however as he walked away his ears caught wind of something he had not expected, in all his years and thinking back to the world he had never expected for her to say what he swore he heard. The stride he had taken up was quickly put to a halt and he turned around to look at her, his eyes showing the first sign of surprise for the entire time of the encounter. He wanted to speak but she instead continued and cut him off by saying another phrase he had not expected.

Sh-She's admitting her flaws...

Ginryu had grown annoyed with sovereigns and the rulers of the Quincy, none ever standing back to analyse themselves and see their flaws and try to fix them but this woman had just spoken and admitted her flaws to him, the soldat's mouth hung open a bit as she finally finished with her speech. His attention had returned to her and he sensed this conversation was far from over but the curious nature of the boy refused to let him walk away.

He could feel the emotion now, unlike his own apathetic and emotionless voice and previously her own voice. His piercing gaze looked at her as she continued, strangely the boy recognised that she seemed different as if something on the inside changed about her. Curious to see more he manipulated the spiritual particles in the air and formed a plain chair, easing himself into it as he listened to her continue.

His gaze noticed a smile form on her face, Was that the first time she smiled? Ginryu couldn't remember. He was glad he had taken a seat when she finally finished or he might've fallen over from what she said after that smile came from her lips. He felt as if someone had smacked him over the head with the very chair he was sitting on.

His eyes blinked quickly, he had no idea what was going on or if she was messing with him. Every inch of his deductive abilities turned to looking at her, ripping into her very being for any sign of a joke or comedy but he couldn't find one. He couldn't react to this sitting down and instead rose to greet her and for the first time, he actually did something which was somewhat respectful. He removed his hood so she could see his entire face, not just the lower part of it and his white hair hung messily around his head.

"You... You suddenly seem different. Perhaps I misjudged your character previously for I have never heard someone in your position admit their flaws and shortcomings... I suppose then I should try this and see if you really do stand by your word... or you fail and be our death like other sovereigns before you. Therefore, with that said, I will accept this appointment as the Sternritter Grandmaster and do my best to help you improve"

Niflheim paused, she wasn’t sure if she was doing the right thing. Then again even when she was the shell she never had complete certainty about anything. She was a leader, a Mother to her people, and she would make them great again. This? This just happened to be the first step, hence as he accepted she strode forth, feet silently gliding across the top of snow-filled mounds. He removed his hood and she had paused directly in front of him, her back straight and her eyes glancing down at him from beneath her lengthy silver lashes. To many she was a princess, a queen maybe. However this was not her looking down upon him, instead it was quite the opposite. As from her body boundless amounts of energy was being draw, crafted, molded to her mind and bent by her will. This meant as the reishi concentrated around them it would turn the very snow blue with reishi. It meant as the frigid cold settled there would be something else to consider which was how niflheim currently began to work, Often she would never let the floodgates of her power release to the extent she planned however as if a slumbering titan had stirred from her came streams of energy, first blue as if standard.

But this was merely a blip, her reishi turned silver and her signature spiked to the point that her power was being released at a frightening level. Up to around a mile and a half energy concentrated in visible form, and where did the energy she sought and drew go? It went inwards into the sternritter grandmaster that she sought to improve, empower and recreate to better serve the vandenreich. For even if his counsel was sound, she wished for him to be strong enough that he could at the very least defend himself. Hence as the marking of P-70 seared in her skin and her energy turned once more. Strands of gold like precious metal radiated from her, and she began her work. Pushing the energy into the males being, he would simply have to accept it, and let her work. Allow her to manipulate the flow so that instead of destroying him it would remake him, her iron will would direct and dictate where the energy went until it spread throughout the quincy evenly, making it so from the hairs on his head to the tips of his toes he would be saturated with a large amount of energy, enough that he certainly would be able to gain a fairly large amount of power if need be.

The only problem was, while she could direct and force the energy inwards it was but an energy to help him breakthrough he would have to himself figure out how to make the overabundance of aura, not only safely integrate into his body but do so in a manner that made it permanent rather than a fleeting powerup. After the Elect of the vandenreich would step back watch and assess. Particularly because this was an important part of the process. Seeing how he would handle it, although that didn’t mean that she wasn’t also monitoring how the reishi bonded with the fellow quincy. Using her mastery of reishi manipulation it was easy for her to control it if for instance if he failed to control the new volume of power inside of him. In which case she would have removed the energy from him. However if all went well? He’d hopefully assimilate with this new found power and use it to become even stronger than he was previously.

After that though it wouldn’t be an immediate powerup. He would have to be able to train and tap into the energy that had been implanted into him over time to truly gain dominion over it. Because what she had done was broadened the power present in him at all times. That was it, and even then she had been careful adding a secondary thought in it which was train. Meaning the more he trained and tapped into this new well of power the more he might find himself unlocking or discovering new facets of it. The Primary Thought was Unmolded. Now what did this mean? Well that was simple the volume of reishi within was unmolded, unshaped and ready to be converted into something new. This would mean that the shape, direction and even the nature of this energy would be something that was completely up to the user themselves, as energy can manifest itself in many unique ways and it would be up for her new sternritter grandmaster to truly learn the depths of his newfound ability master it and learn from it. Hence this would not make him much more powerful instead it gave him the potential to become strong. To gain more power and to earn it for himself. With that done? The Elect Said Slowly.

”..We all have many things that shape us, that make us individually strong. Find your path, and walk it for the vandenreich’s sake. Get stronger and be a face for our people. Because times are changing. We have to change with them. “

With that said? Niflheim really had nothing much more she could do here, she was exhausted completely drained and burnt out from imbedding power into this new individual and because of it? She would slowly walk into the snow and begin to vanish to fade until both her and her reishi seemed to disappear. Her reishi dispersing to the point that it couldn’t be tracked. She had given him a nudge, but it was up to him now to bloom.
