Protectors of Acra Generation 1: Study of the Reapers

In this story, Ethan gets to learn about different types of Reapers and gets to meet some friends.

Ethan and his uncle road to the Juvin Kingdom. When they got there it was very busy. People were walking around in the market area, buying things. There were children running around playing, everyone looked very happy. Ethan had never seen so much happiness. Uncle Jason stopped and Etna got off. "I need to get back to the house before it gets dark," Uncle Jason said. "I thought you said you were going to stay for a few days," Ethan said. "I did, but I need to get back to the house and bury the bodies before someone finds them," Uncle Jason said. He rode off on his horse towards Cyena.

Ethan walked to a stand in the market that had a sign. The sign read "Join the Guardians of Power". And next to that stand there was another stand that had a sign that read, "Join the Juvin army". Ethan walked up to the stand with the Guardians of Power sign. Hello, I would like to sign up for Guardians of Power training," Ethan said. The person running the stand looked very tired. They got out a paper, quill, and ink and said: "Sign here please".  Ethan signed his name, then he handed it to the person. "Follow me," they said. 

The person took Ethan to a stone building. "This is where you will be training, the class will start in a few moments," the person said, then they walked off. Ethan sat on the ground outside and looked into his bag to make sure he had everything he needed. And as he sat there a girl that had a brown dress on walked up to Ethan. "Hello," she said. "Hello," Ethan replied. "My name is Aurora Sie," she said, "I'm Ethan Fourthwood," he replied. Aurora sat down next to him. "Are you here to train to become a Guardian?" Aurora asked. "Yes I am," Ethan said. "So am I, it has been my dream for many years," she said. "Where are you from?" Aurora asked. "Cyena," Ethan replied he was getting tired of talking. "Wow, that's cool, I have never been to Cyena before," Aurora said. "Where are you from?" Ethan asked. "I'm from Fontu," she replied. "I don't think I have ever heard of Fontu," Ethan said. "Fontu is very small, it is located between Hiu and Trucal," Aurora said. 

They talked for a few minutes then someone walked up. It was a boy the same age as they were. "Hey does anyone know when the class starts?" he asked. "It should have started by now I guess everyone is running late," Aurora said. "Ok then I guess I will just wait," he said. He walked over where Ethan and Aurora were sitting. "My name is Alk," he said. "Nice to meet you, my name is Aurora and this is Ethan," Aurora said. "Are you two here to become Guardians or the Juvin army soldiers?" Alk asked. "We are here to become Guardians," Aurora said. "Yeah I think we all are because the Guardians get the most action," Alk said. 

A few moments later a big group of people walked up. "I guess it is starting," Ethan said. Everyone stood around and waited. Then a man in silver armor and a blue cape came out of the stone building. Everone stood up and saluted him. "I'm glad you all cloud make it," he said. "My name is Zelf Ohpodo, and I will make everyone one of you the best Guardians of Power this Kingdom has ever seen". "Now I want you all to follow me," Zelf said. 

Everyone went inside the building the inside was very big, It had flags handing down from the ceiling, and there were lots of paintings of people. Then he took them to a room where there were pews, everyone sat down. Zelf stood up on a stand and began to speak. "Has anyone here seen a Reaper before in their life?" he asked. A few people raised their hand including Ethan. "For those of you who have not here is a picture of one". A picture appeared on a projector screen. the picture had three people on it. The first person looked normal, they had a black robe and hood on with a sword. The second person was dressed the same but their face was falling apart and it had scares. The third person was dressed the same but they were very tall, and they were missing a jaw and they had glowing red eyes and long claws. "The first is just a normal Reaper soldier, which is what you all will see on the battle field, the second one is called an and creatures that were once normal humans until they used the power from the orbs. When fighting a moonstruck Reaper, you should always try to cut off their head, if you do then it will be all over, but if you stab them with a sword it will not work, they will keep fighting," Zelf said. 

Later Ethan walked out of the training building wondering if he was sure he wanted to join. All of the stories he heard about fighting special Reapers such as moonstruck and Advanced Reapers. "Where are you staying for the night?" Aurora asked. "I am staying at the barracks like everyone else," Ethan replied. "Oh, I did not know there were barracks," Aurora said. "Did you not hear a word Mr. Zelf said?" Ethan asked. "I fell asleep in the second part," Aurora said. "Ok well I'm off to bed see you in the morning," Ethan said he walked off. 

He walked inside the barracks, but no one was back yet. "They must have all gone to eat dinner," Ethan thought. He sat his bag down on a bed with his name on it. He walked outside and headed to the mess hall.

As he was walking he felt like he was being followed. He turned around and saw a boy with a black coat and white hair walking behind him. "Hello, my name is Harry," he said. "I'm Ethan," Ethan responded. "I did not see you in the class," Ethan said. "I did not go, I already know everything about Reapers, and I know that there are things in our world that are just as evil and fighting as they are," Harry said. "Like what," Ethan asked. "Why don't we walk, while we talk," Harry said, they started to walk. "If you thought moonstruck Reapers looked evil, you should take a look at the witches of the Hatzex terrain or the mind crushers of the Goowin terrain," Harry said. "How do you know so much about these type of things?" Ethan asked. "Because I study almost everything about cultures and religions," Harry said. "We should get to the mess hall before they stop serving food," Harry said he started to run and Ethan followed.
