"Im leaving all 7 of you with a simple task" he says, all seven guardians lift their head slowly, "I will be gone for a few days" he stands from his throne and walks down the stairs with his offspring following him behind, "Take care of 'it', don't let it learn nothing unnecessary, okay?" he says without looking at his newest creation. All seven guardians nod. "Don't mess up" then Lord X disappears.

The throne room is quiet and all eyes are on the light blue hedgehog, they don't say anything, they simply stare back with a bored expression and arms crossed.

"Well, hello there new friend" Kofuku says with a very wide smile, he walks up to the young hedgehog and crouches down.

The young hedgehog imitates his wide smile, slowly as they blink slowly and stare at Kofuku. Kofuku laughs at the imitation of the hedgehog.

"Well thats enough" Kito's voice cuts through the air, they approach the hedgehog and place their cold hand over the fur of the creature's head. 

"The last thing we want is you turning Lord X's creation into a brainless buffoon like you" Ken'o says in a disgusted tone.

The young hedgehog smile disappears as they stare at the older hedgehogs speaking. Before Kofuku can speak he is interrupted again.

"Exactly, our lord left us with the task of educating him, hopefully so he doesn't end up like the other failed creation" Yokubo says, muttering the last part, he walks towards the young hedgehog circling them, "So, tell us what do you want, what do you wish to learn"  But the creature didn't answer, they didn't know how to, they open their mouth and close it repeatedly trying to imitate the sounds that they hear. "Oh, you will," Yokubo says as he approaches him.

Kito

He treats the task as a duty, he enforces structure, a routine, so the creature is expected to follow it.

Kito will make them sit with them in his temple for long hours, teaching them how to speak in a low and controlled tone and how to listen without acting impulsively.

Kofuku

Probably the closest thing to kindness that they will learn, he interacts with them in a positive way.

He encourages curiosity, often putting them in dangerous situations and laughing if they are close to getting hurt or accidentally hurting themselves.

He also teaches them how to express themselves.

Yokubo

Their safety is not a priority, only their development, he wants them to be independent which he knows is a trait that Lord X values.

He will often encourage them to seek things that they don't even understand, to be ambitious with no limits at all.

Kyoufu

He knows that Lord X takes pride in causing fear to his victims, therefore the aim of him researching babysitting them is to observe their reactions and make them cause fear intentionally.

He will scare them repeatedly, watching how they react and repeat any scare that causes the strongest response.

Ken'o

Despite the creature being an extension of Lord X (in a way), he views them as imperfect and therefore in need to be fixed.

So he tries to correct him and turn more into Lord X.

Zetsubo

She doesn't do much with them, she will often just sit near them and talk about meaninglessness for hours.

Gekido

Out of all seven guardians, he is the worst one, since he has no patience he often reacts violently to any little mistake the creature makes and even intimidates them.

Unfortunately for him, since the creature is learning everyone in their environment he quickly develops sudden aggression and quite an explosive personality.

A few days after being babysitted by all seven guardians, the creature acts differently from before, they don't believe that rules are meant to be followed, they believe that they Cal also be ignored, they are now emotionally unstable going through moments of extreme happiness and laughter to emptiness, they use fear and desire to manipulate the servants in the castles 

and even other guardians and overall they are never satisfied.

Lord X sees this, he has eyes everywhere in his castle, and when he returns all beings in the castle can feel his overwhelming presence. 

Lord X stares at his newest creation, who stands perfectly still on the centre of the throne room, "Come here" he orders, then the creature moves slowly towards him, they tilt their head then smile widely just like they've learn from Kofuku, posture fixed and still like Kito and eyes fixed on his creature, then they spoke.

"What do you want...father?"

The room is in complete silence, all seven guardians stare at the interaction between their lord and his offspring. Lord X slowly reaches out to his creation, staring down at them with their red eyes with X on them, no one in the room speaks, there is a slight hint of hesitation on Lord X gaze. Then, he smiles, even though he himself doesn't know why, but what he is sure about is that his new creation is now something different.

"We will have to start over" he says, the creature smiles again, "You have learned too quickly" he lifts his hand, ready to use his powers to erase him from his existence.

"No" the creature says as they take a step back without looking away from their creator. "I have learned, father, I refuse...I refuse to forget and disappear" they say in a distorted voice.
