After a long and tedious process of guiding the Tensei Orphans to their proper places in the Veritas, Serulenia was more than bushwhacked by it all, especially with dealing with the late Kairo as the Pumpkinhead before his Rebirth and Ascent. Now that things were settling, all she truly wanted was some peace and quiet in her Oasis of Serenity. "Mmm..." Descending down her crystal staircase from the Cloud of Serendipity, she would immediately immerse herself into a pool of water that was her healing springs; a Fairy Fountain, of sorts, that would replenish all of her Manna, her Aura and her Souzenryoku. She closed her eyes and rested deeply in it.
"Ahhh... Finally... Peace and quiet..."
She had been waiting for this sort of time for a long while now. Being able to call upon all of the Shinsanities and Shinsangels at her will (being the strongest next to the Shinsangels of Light, who were the Parallels of the Shinsangels of Water), she could feel that they were all finally falling into place where they should be. She loved that sort of Divine Order, and when all was in place and going smoothly, all was peaceful and not disturbing to her Ocean's waves that encompassed all the Veritas. The slightest bit of Discord in her Waves gave her chills and severely upset her, because it broke the Peace that she and the other Water God, Triton, did their best to always keep maintained. Whilst it was maintained, she just wanted to... Relax in it. Bask in the Peacefulness. The Tranquility. The Serenity.
Rising from the Primordial Depths of the Oasis of Serenity, where he had just finished guiding Tymon on his Spirit Journey, Triton would appear before Serulenia in his Ancient Form; that of a great Turtle known as the Crystal Kappa. He looked to her with eyes filled with the Mysteries of the Deep, having much to inform her.
"Serulenia..." he'd say, gazing into her peaceful eyes, "... Summon the Shinsanity of Water. There is something important we must discuss."
Just as Serulenia had taken her dip into her pool, ready to relax and restore, there came the second Water God; her love, Triton, apparently bearing something important that she, quite honestly, was nowhere near in the mood to hear. "... *sigh* ... Duty calls, I suppose...?" She shook her head, really disappointed that she couldn't get the rest that she definitely needed now, at this point. "Alright, then..." She would raise her hand, conjuring up from the surface of the water the shape and form of the Shinsanity of Water, BluZinAgi, of which would take shape right above the water. "Here she is... And would you mind assuming your Human form sometime soon? You're making a lot of... Large waves that I'm simply not really in the mood for right now. If you will?" She would hold a hand to her head and lean back on the grass, getting ready for whatever it was that he had to tell her. "Whenever you're ready, love."
Pulled from the Valley of Water where she'd first appeared to help Serulenia into Serendipity, the quite loyal and faithful Shinsanity of Water, BluZinAgi, would hover silently in wait as she had been called forth. Her eyes looked dead and her face just as lifeless, as though she were sick.
"Ahh... Yes, indeed..." He understood why she was so stressed, considering what she'd just been through on her end. In that knowing, he would close his eyes and allow the waters of the Oasis to envelop him slowly, liquefying and pulling part the large body that fortified his normal, human form as
Triton, the Mizugami.
"The Shinsanity of Water has become Tainted due to your Prolonged Exposure to the Former Pumpkinhead," he'd say, looking over to it and its pale, stale complexion. "It is hindering your Transformation into your Complete Form. The Veritas is seeking for all the Shinsangels and Shinsanities to harbor the Light of the Flames of Eternity and the Dark of the Living Shadows. With the Sickness within the Shinsanity of Water..." he turned back to Serulenia, whom he could see was already prepared for the bad news, "... It could spread and infect not just the Oasis, but the entire Ocean of Purity. You must Cure it and Yourself by sacrificing that form and embracing the Flames." As it currently stood, Triton was already fine the way he was; merely weakened in power due to his Partner not being Complete, as He was. "So, I'm afraid you know what this means, my dear..."
She sighed again, closing her eyes and letting the words wash over her and sink in slowly, already knowing what that meant, as he anticipated. She was silent for a while, as if trying to maintain that peaceful serenity that she'd been searching for just a little while longer before finally breaking the silence. "... I knew this would happen..." She hook her head slowly, raising it up from the lush grass and gazing up to Triton, who had now taken on his human form, "... I thought keeping everything in Suspended Animation would prevent such things from occurring," she muttered, slipping her hand into the water before closing her eyes again with another heavy sigh, "... But I suppose that it must have slipped in when I broke it as we were exiting the Zero World that became the Psycho Mesa..." That was the only plausible and feasible method that could have been.
"What do you propose that we do about this, then? We cannot have this leak spreading into the rest of the Ocean bringing Discord into the Waves... It's rather important that we take care of this IMMEDIATELY. We two, along with the Shinsangels of Light, are the most important in keeping order. That is why we are... Who we are, in the scheme of things."
"Indeed..." he agreed, closing his eyes and taking a meditative seat upon the surface of the water, "... I believe it would be best if I, being the Purified One, give you some of my energy to Purify you, and then, when that occurs, you transfer your Purified energy into the Shinsanity of Water and thus, Purify it, as well. If we do this, we can create a triangular effect of energy. I will become weakened as well, but at least we will all be purified." He would open his eyes and smile, "Besides, as long as we are here keeping the Peace and Purity in the Ocean that dwells within the entire Veritas, we will be restored in no time. That is why the Oasis of Serentiy and the Valley of Water itself exists, right? To replenish one's spirit?" This was the best place in all the Dawn (and possibly all the Veritas) to even do such a thing. It was like one big luxurious resort; a spa, a spring, a bathhouse, and all sorts of other relaxing things that make for beautifying and purifying the Mind, Body and Soul. That is what made the Valley of Water so important, as well as these two Shinsangels, themselves.
"So. I will transfer the power of the Flames into you, and it will merge with your Shadow, and with that, our energies will be balanced and purified. And, when I am done and you assume your Complete and Purified form that harbors the Flames, I will maintain the connection until you transfer our combined energy into the Shinsanity of Water, which will take the shape and form of both our collective conscious choice." He nodded his head and closed his eyes, beginning the meditative process.
As he concentrated on the Oasis of Serenity, his own energy would seep into it, and his body would sink slightly under the water, yet remain floating, like a buoy. In this, the water would begin to glow, though in a concentrated manner directly around Serulenia. With his energy entering hers, she would start to feel the power of the Flames of Eternity cleansing her of her iniquities and allowing her to take on her Complete and Purified form as she saw fit, whenever she was ready. He wouldn't break his focus unto she had also fully purified the Shinsanity of Water, as well.
Serulenia did naught but close her eyes and open herself to receiving the energy that was being transferred to her by her partner, Triton, of whom was already Purified and Complete. She would adjust herself upright, beginning to float slightly to the surface of the water once the energy went within her, covering her in a crystal glow. She would focus herself on this energy and allow it to wash over her and all through her, cleansing her down to the very core and the very source of where the tainted filth was to accurately purge it from herself. In that, her form would begin to change, becoming more aqueous and mellifluous like that of her partner's, yet at the same time retaining its solidified shape, as it had been before. In this, she would transcend to her next form, that which was,
Tethys, the Mizugami.
"Mmmm..." she moaned, feeling herself much more fluidly and less stressed, which she didn't even realize was the problem before, "... That is so much better. Thank you, dear." All that she had been through and that was getting her worked up and in a bind was suddenly wiped away as though it hadn't been there in the first place, and the tension that she, herself, had been creating just from harboring that energy inside of her was no more. The waves would flow naturally and elegantly, as they should, and would wrap around her to reinforce her clothing whilst establishing her connection to both the Oasis and the Ocean, as well as to Triton, himself.
"Now then, since i'm feeling tiptop..." she would float closer to him, still partially submerged, joining him in his meditation right beside him, "... Let's fix this Shinsanity, as well." She would direct their combined energies toward it, which would allow for the Shinsanity of Water to become purified, as well. It would end up taking on the form of what their combined Consciousness and Wills would Wish for it to be, giving it Life through the Flames of Eternity, Energy through the Souzenryoku and Wisdom through their Combined Conscience.
BluZinAgi remained motionless, a completely dead and expressionless face gazing at the two Mizugami that were transferring energy into her. In merely moment, she would be swallowed up by the crystal glow coming from the Oasis of Purity, which would consume all of the stale, dead and tainted energy that had gotten into the Shinsanity of Water and completely eradicate it with the power of the Flames, allowing her to take on her purified form as
Meikyuu, the Shinsanity of Water.
The form that they two of them wished for her to be was in the shape and image of their Child, whose likeness and vibrancy were all well within the now expressive and joyous energy of the child, herself.
"Wow!!" she said, looking around with eyes just as big and as wide as can be, "Is this what everything looks like when we give up Apathy!??!" Because the Insanity of the Shinsanity of Water was Apathy, BluZinAgi, the Uncaring One that had been tainted by the complete Apathetic Nature that overcame the Shinsanity of Water when done incorrectly would now be revealed to the light of the Shinsanity of Water, which was to Apathetically express Love and Light through Purity and Innocence, as though it didn't matter what other forces were to get in the way. In this, the Apathy came to block and completely negate all Wicked and Tainted energies that attempted to touch the Shinsanity, as well as the Mizugami that were the masters of this powerful Apathy.
"We Did It~!" she cried, hurdling up into the sky as swirling streams of water traced her spinning form before bursting into a Crystal Rain over the Oasis of Serenity.
"Mmm..." he moaned solemnly, closing his eyes, "Then, We Are All Restored." He knelt down to touch the water, just lightly dipping his fingers in and pulling into its solid structure the 'Blue Grimoire.'
"I Will take things from Here, Darling. You Rest in the Oasis. You Deserve It." He smiled warmly as he opened the book up to the page necessary,
"We're Open..."
--- Indistinct Timeskip ---
Some time after the Blue Book was opened and synchronized with the other Books of the other Kamigami and linked synchronously to the Main Story, the Phantom would flicker into the Water Sanctuary with a young girl sparkling like crystal and garbed in what seemed to be all white upon his back, matching his whitish crystalline coat of fur. He stood before the healing waters and dropped Shiniere in, hopefully soothing her to the point of sedation before she could begin to cry or even be upset at the pain she was probably feeling. He looked up to the two Mizugami, who seemed to be attempting to enjoy their leisure, nodding to them; specifically, Serulenia. "... Pardon our intrusion, but... She needs to be taken care of in these healing springs." He looked around, then whispered to them on a distortion in sound that only they could hear, saying, "... Broken heart."
He wanted to stay and comfort his daughter, even if it was only in the form of the Phantom, but he needed to ensure that the structure of the Veritas didn't fall apart because of a passing anomaly. Most of them, if they were not made to have perpetual energy that wasn't completely linked to the reality around them, would cause a chain of perpetual destruction rather than a chain of perpetual sustenance and stability, like the Phantom, as an anomaly. His presence didn't distort or destroy things unless he willed, or acted out of turn, which many anomalies were not supposed to do unless it ended with everything being completely and seamlessly balanced and pieced together at the end. Open-ended anomalies were made for destruction and lacked control, usually.
He sighed. "Will you watch over her whilst I go and fix the Veritas... AGAIN?" He didn't understand why it was so difficult for outsiders to act right here; there were many rules set in place simply to ensure things like this didn't happen. Even if they had ways to fix them, such as the Phantom, himself, it didn't mean that one goes around haphazardly making problems just because they can be fixed. "Well, at least I get to test out that new move I wanted... And it's use will be perfect for this go round, I believe..." That was something, at least.
