Ingo paused for a mere moment as he looked over towards his lady- or rather by all technically, his former lady. After this day- no longer would be he would warden Ingo of the pearl clan, rather clan leader Ingo of the amethyst clan. Temporary leader of Jublife.

How. How could this happen?

Silently Ingo can’t help but to curse the almighty sinnoh’s (both space and time, the rift causer and even the fourth that Akari had barely spoken of.). He curses them for ripping away all authorities of the three growing clans and village.

But part of him thanks them that they left him.

Ingo understands bitterly that those missing are likely were he came from, yet he must be the one to remain in order to keep the clans and village calm.

He sighs looking at lady Snealser, who stare at him with her basket nest. He stares back.

He stays lady Snealser warden, yet also becomes a leader to the people under his care. He takes an apprentice in the form of the former diamond clan leader Adaman and the former warden Mai’s younger sibling.

It’s a tricky balance, having to please both the diamond and pearl clans, don’t even get him started on the mess that is jublife.

Needless to say they’d rather have Ingo, a former outsider who willingly joined the clan, then no leader at all.

Lady Snealser had all but relocated her den to the a new den closer to the mixed settlement of both clans, determined to stick side by side to her chosen warden.

It’s been year since over half the wardens, both clan leaders and several of Jublifes important figures went missing.

It’s been.. a slow adjustment. The diamond clan was mostly either Neutral, polite or tolerate him. The pearl clan however had been much open to him, most of the time they were much friendlier then the diamond clan.

Thankfully, thing began to look up.

It started with what with Allowed the nobles to freely choose from anyone in either clans. (He silently thank both them and the almighty sinnoh’s they had the sense to go with the half pearl clan, half diamond clan pattern. The clans would a thrown quite the fit had one side been more favored then the other.).

Then came food issues in the winter, thankfully it seems more of the clans have picked up having pokemon partners, several being grass type, which only increased the amount of food produced.

At some point Ingo lost track of time, and before he knew it, five years had passed and those missing came back.

Barely missing a year off their age.

It was a bitter irony for clan leader-warden ingo.

He wondered if this was how those he’d left behind after he lost his memory felt.
