Protectors of Acra Generation 1:Mount Mortem

Ethan could not get out of the tree, his para shoot had gotten stuck in the branches of the trees. Ethan tried to get out but he so stuck, absolutely stuck. "Do you need help?" a deep voice said below Ethan. Ethan looked down and saw a man of the age of twenty with dark brown hair and pale skin, with the training armor on. "Yes, could you help me get down?" Ethan asked. The man climbed up the tree and cut the para shoot with his sword. Ethan landed on the ground with a thud. "Thanks, but you could have warned me that I would hit the ground that hard," Ethan said. "What did you expect, you did think the ground was going to be soft," the man said. He grabbed Ethan's hand and pulled him to his feet. "My name is Anthony Rul," the man said. "I'm Ethan". "We need to find the others, we have all been separated, " Anthony said. 

They walked through the forest, and as they walked they found an Albino girl sitting on a log and she had on training armor, just like them. "Excuse me, are you ok?" Ethan said. The girl had a strange look on her face, almost like she had just seen a ghost or something worse. "Hello! can you hear me!" Ethan said. She did not reply she just stared at the ground. "If she is not going to talk to us we are going to have to take her with us because we are not leaving anyone behind," Anthony said. He stabbed her on the shoulder. "If you can hear me, I'm telling you that we need to get moving, so you need to tell me who you are and if you are able to walk," Anthony said. She looked at him but said nothing. Then she said: "I can not walk I broke my leg when I fell out of the tree". She pointed up, and they could see a para shoot. "Fine then I guess we will have to help you walk because we are not leaving anyone behind," Anthony said. He grabbed her left arm and got her to her feet. "Ethan! take her right arm we will help as best as we can," Anthony said.It was not very easy because there were many fallen trees and holes in the forest. 

They walked for about a mile and they stopped for a break. "I think we should make camp here," Anthony said. "But what about meeting up with everyone else?" Ethan asked. "There is no time for that now, we are being put into this situation because this is part of our training, and besides it is getting dark if this was a real life situation this forest would be crawling with Reaper scouts," Anthony said. 

Later they had a fire and they were all sitting around the fire. "So Anthony why are you training to become a guardian?" Ethan asked. "Most people think I'm here like everyone else, just here to prove that I'm not weak, but that is not true. The real reason I'm here is that I want to protect people that are being oppressed by the Reapers, I want to a sure people that there is someone somewhere that is thinking about the ones who are weak and can not help themselves, just like my family," Anthony said. He handed a small picture to Ethan. It was a picture of Anthony with a woman and two small children. "I...lost them many years ago to the Reapers, they came in and killed everyone, including them, but at that point, I was not strong enough to fight, and I was outnumbered," Anthony said. Ethan handed the picture back to Anthony and remembered that he too was doing the same, avenging the death of someone who was killed by the Reapers. "What about you? why are you training?" Anthony asked. "It has been a dream of mine for many years and now that I'm seventeen I'm allowed to train," Ethan said. Then all of a sudden they heard a loud crash. Ethan and Anthony jumped t their feet and got out their swords. "What was that!" Ethan said. 'It was the spirits," the girl said. Ethan and Anthony stared at her. She was staring into the fire, "This place is haunted by the ghosts of the ones who were killed many years ago," she said. "You actually think that there are ghosts out there? I was right you are crazy," Ethan said. "We should keep moving," Anthony said. They got the girl to her feet and they started to walk. "Who is this person?" Ethan thought to himself.

They walked for another mile and they stopped. "The ghosts will be coming for us," she said. Anthony sat down in from of her and said: "Since you are talking why don't you tell us your name". She just stared at him, then she said: "My name is Tempest Duo". "And where are you from?" Anthony asked. "The terrain of Stump," Tempest said. "Look I see a light!" Ethan said he pointed to a what looked like a camp fire. He started to walk off but Anthony stopped him. If this was a real life circumstance, we would not be coming towards a camp fire because it could be a Reaper camp," Anthony said.  "Your right, but how old will we be out here?" Ethan said. "Until we find the training base," Anthony said. 

They walked through the forest some more and they found the ruins of a castle. "What is this place?" Ethan asked. "This was once a castle that belonged to a person named Queen Ritilla who was one of the cruelest queens that ever lived," Anthony said. "What happened to her?" Ethan asked. "She was burned at the stake because she became obsessed with the power of the Con Orbs," Anthon said. "Con Orbs?" Ethan said. "Yes Con Orbs, the Con Orbs were powerful small glowing orbs that had dark powers, and that is what the Reapers use while in battle and for personal use," Anthony said. "But I thought the Reapers stole the Orbs from the Juvin Kingdom!" Ethan said. "They did, everyone thought that the Orbs were existent after Queen Ritilla was killed until the Juvin Kingdom found them inside the mountains of Koulo," Anthony replied. "I can hear the voices of the one you speak of," Tempest said. "Oh! not this again!" Ethan said. "And what does the voice say?" Anthony asked. "She said run," Tempest replied. "Run?" Ethan repeated in his head. Then all of a sudden they heard a musket shot. "What was that?" Ethan asked, "I don't know, let's go check it out!" Anthony replied.
