The World Always Changes

His trial status had begun in earnest in the Gotei again. Jaeden hadn't been apart of something in a long time. After meeting the kid Okuda he decided his experience would be useful. His frame slowly moved forward as a swirling portal opened of a Garganta. Stepping through it to the living world he looked around. From atop one of the buildings he spied the Harbor. This place was full of life and people making their way. Through so many means and ways it had been a long time since he'd come here. The Vizard Corps disbanding was the first time since he'd left. Jaeden sat down slowly as he smiled a bit looking out. Happy people and children, the product of a good mayor. The person who helped this place was said to be a strong and very smart woman. Come to her if you want to know what was going on anywhere. That was what his source said anyways. Jaeden marveled at the building and place of business itself. He'd heard of Ulv the woman had a reputation, being the only one who knew of Mirja well too. That girl had vanished under mysterious circumstances, to say the least.

Jaeden didn't dig or jump into that sand. Because he realized it wasn't his to jump into. But now that he was joining the Gotei again and helping where he could. He needed the lay of the land. But he needed a place to train himself as well. So he could help the younger generation in his squad. That was what brought him to Ulv, to find a place he could exercise. BUt also to see what the world had become since the merger. He was playing catch up in the long term here. Jaeden rested his sword against his shoulder. He'd never been the jump into the fray type as he smiled. "Happy Jae?" His hollow asked before manifesting within his mind a bit. Dark shadows forming around the creature as it looked on. "Any strong fighters down there you think?" Jaeden merely patted his hollow on the forehead for a moment. Speaking out loud now as he answered. "Strength isn't everything my friend, these people are strong in a special way."

The hollow looked perplexed at Jaeden who leaned back and spoke. His zanpakuto also came curious to what he meant. "They are happy and living a good life here, despite a war going on around them. All races are here and working together with singular happiness. Each one thriving and surviving in this place be it as a parent, worker, or even a guard. They are all strong in their ways, they form a powerful unity that will never be broken. That's why they are strong, stronger then me and many others I think." Jaeden firmly believed that if everything was fighting you'd miss other types of strength. But he remained and waited for the Mayor herself to come. "Jae, what are you waiting for?" Jaeden smiled a bit but said nothing as he suspected his friend already knew the answer. H waited for the person who helped create this paradise.
