Guardians of a City

InsaneTruth

Panda Hero
A 1X1 between me and Ricia.


Many of years have passed since the world was ravaged by what was known as an apocalypse. Humanity scattered across broken lands had maid cities and colonies and now again is the age of man kind but there are no defenders. Thus the guardian program was founded. Gifted men and women aged from 13 to 30 are tested and out of each city seven are chosen. The first generation is stepping down to make way for the new in the City of Angels lead by a beautiful and kind man named Dasuke. Dasuke however was hesitant; word has spread that there is an organization out to kill the guardians. The death of a guardian is a big thing there is a ceremony through the entire city if one passes. Shaking this fearful feeling in his chest he rises to speak to the city. "People of this city, it is time now for a new group of guardians to rise to the challenge of protecting the fair City of Angels." he let the people cheer a moment before continuing. "It will be sad to see out seven hero's retire but they have done well protecting us thus far and will train the new youths I am about to choose." Seven pendants lay on a stand each a different color. Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, Purple, orange and white. "The Gaurdian of the blue stone! Will be Nickko. The green stone's gaurdian shall be Madame June. The red stone shall now go to Rikki. The Yellow stone now belongs to Kristeph. The purple stone passes to Aldric. The orange goes to Phoenix; And the leader of the group the one to be in charge of the white stone of light is." The entire city was quiet even a pin drop would be heard easily in the streets. "Emma," Cheers erupted once more and the chosen were ushered to the front of the croud.


June was in shock. She knew she was gifted as she has been told from birth but to become a guardian? The brunett woman was tall and tan she looked almost like an elf from the old tails. Her green dress worn only for this occasion showed long legs and tone arms she was a hunter, a master of the bow and an instructor. When she was pushed to the front she was handed the green pendant in her hands it changed vines grew around it silver and fine and her name appeared inlaid in the depths of the green stone.


Kristeph looked to not be at all surprised he was chosen the thirteen year old boy had show great intellectual promise and strategical brilliance. He walked to the front head held high. Blonde hair and crystal blue eyes made the boy rather adorable he still had his baby face and was a bit lanky as he was in the awkward age of growth. When he was presented the stone he took it and gold bolts of lightning appeared latching the stone to the chain. He grinned seeing his name inlaid in the yellow stone that so matched his hair.


Nickko unlike June or Kristeph was not exited. This just ment more work and attention he much rather live a normal healthy life. Alone. Brown hair cropped short and green eyes made him look average in his age group of 18. He was pushed to the front to take the blue stone in which waves of silver appeared and he frowned at his name in the stone.

Phoenix looked absolutely terrified when he was called. The poor red headed boy looked up at his lover, Kin, before he was dragged off by the crowd. Sure he knew how to fight... but he much rather not. He was rather skilled at hand to hand, but nothing like guardian good! Surely there was a mistake! When he got pushed up to the front, his green eyes looked down at the orange gem, almost reminding him a bit of his hair. He hesitantly took up the stone.


Aldric was also surprised, but it was a pleasant one, as this could help change around his fate! Although he was not the strongest of fighters either, he was sure he could talk it way out of a dinosaur's mouth. He almost skipped up to the front for his own Gem, purple. He liked that color. It didn't match his light pink hair at all, but he was sure its color complimented to her ever loving personality.


Rikki was not surprised, much like June. She was the best in her field... and her field was sword and shield. She had a small practice of warrior women who taken up the shield. She called them shield maidens. A lot like how June was a trainer herself. Rikki would brush off anyone who would try and push her to walk her own pace up, long proud strides. This was her chance to protect her people and serve Dasuke the best. Blond hair and blue eyes turned to the red stone before her, accepting it without hesitation or greed.


Emma however was not sure how this would effect her life, but she knew it was no mistake. Everyone was chosen for a reason... she was a carefully selected choice. And they felt that she would be the choice for healer and leader of the guardians. She knew immediately that she was also the oldest of the group. She turned to some of the children around her and told them to stay with some of the helpers as she stepped foreword to the front to claim what had been bestowed upon her. She even gave a soft curtsy to Dasuke before doing so, her long blue hair flowing around her.<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_07/57a8bf9820b3c_image(3).jpg.3e6259bff21949fb5a7c64deaf515993.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="22153" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_07/57a8bf9820b3c_image(3).jpg.3e6259bff21949fb5a7c64deaf515993.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p><p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_07/Phoenix.jpg.44aa8e4b6bf70822022fe00e4aca2bae.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="22154" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_07/Phoenix.jpg.44aa8e4b6bf70822022fe00e4aca2bae.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p><p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_07/Rikki.jpg.6e9f146512af692dccd3be56c0eb7d6b.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="22155" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_07/Rikki.jpg.6e9f146512af692dccd3be56c0eb7d6b.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>

"Before me stands the hope and safety of the people," Dasuke said. With a smile his bright green eyes held nothing but kindness. "You all bring with you traits that best can serve the city and its people.


Kin smiled proud of his little Pheo, Pheo's stone twined itself in gold before imprinting his name inside. Aldric's spiraled silver to the chain and his name as well appeared. Rikki's was chained in gold fire her name inside as well but Emma's made a dirastic change the stone itself shifted to a flower budthe petals looking real but still smooth stone.


"Guardians will you take a vow all of you to defend this city and all its people?" Dasuke asked


Kristeph was the first to say "I will," exitedly and with a smirk.


"I will," Nico said in a sigh it was to late to turn back now after all. He trirled the stone in his hand a bit.


"I will," June said calmly and smoothly putting the necklace on and letting the weight of it make this all the more real for her.
 
Pheo looked around a bit freaked out, but the other guardians were already taking their oath.


"I will." Rikki said without hesitation and with a lot of pride.


"I so will~" Aldric said with a smirk.


Phoenix looked into the crowd where Kin was and then to Emma, who was to be the leader. She smiled at him softly and gave him an encouraging look. "I will..." He finally said looking back at the crowd.


Emma smiled and held the stone to her heart, "I will." She said happily.
 
"Then with much pride," Dasuke said and knelt before them "I welcome you to your positions."


This shocked June who stared at their ruller now Kneeling before them all.


Kristeph also looked a bit suprised looking around at all the others he was of course the youngest.


Nickko however looked down at their ruler but he looked more thoughtful then anything at that point.
 
Rikki was also in complete shock and she hardly could believe it.


Aldric wasn't expecting it either, but man did it make him feel good.


Pheo looked away shyly, he was way beyond his comfort zone.


Emma however, pleasantly surprised, curtsied herself to Dasuke.
 
Dasuke rose, "If you will all follow me inside," he asked motioning to the door crowds cheering for the new protectors.


Nico looked to the door the inside of the capital. He had to admit he was very curious.


Kristeph actually betrayed by his age timidly stood lightly behind june who was tall for a woman. "Of course thank you," June said
 
Pheo turned and waved, though it was hard to see who he was waving too, in fact it kind of looked like he was waving to the crowd. In reality he was waving bye to Kin. He was sure he would see him later, but he had no idea when 'later' was. With that, he skitted into the doors behind the others.


Aldric had to stop himself from launching into the building, and instead idlying skipping. He started to whistle a bit as he walked in.


Rikki walked in much like June, "Thank you for the honor." She said.


Emma waited for everyone else to go in, before she herself did so.
 
the inside was pretty painted from wall to wall mostly plants and animals though. "This is the capital and my home you are all welcome here," Dasuke told them.


Kristeph was in aw despite trying to look unphased.


"It's beautiful," June said.


"Eye, it isn't too bad," Nickko said rubbing his head he had watched the timid Pheo and was still doing so.,
 
Pheo awkwardly walked with the group, so very unsure of himself.


Emma walked slightly behind him, she felt like he was the most timid in the group.


"It's pretty fancy! I bet the people in it are even fancier!" Al said with a grin.


Rikki remained in a silent awe, feeling like even words could not describe it.
 
"Just me the counsiler Soki my daughter Rose and the former guardians if they choose to stay," Dasuke smiled. "Are we fancy?" he asked amused.


"The gaurdians live here?" June asked


"Only if they wish," Dasuke said.


Kristeph liked home thats where his mother and sisters were.


Nickko had to admit he would not mind living in a place like this,
 
"I am SO living here!" Aldric said with a grin.


Rikki defiantly though this would be a fantastic place to stay. "That would be a whole new honor in itself." She said softly.


Pheo wouldn't want to live her... not unless Kin could go with him. Even though, Kin and him quite likes living in their simple small cottage. It was nothing fancy and a bit secluded.


Emma had a job to do, children to take care of. She wouldn't leave the home she has built with others for children who didn't have a home. "That is a kind offer indeed." She said softly.
 
Dasuke chuckled and took them to a room with a long table "I wish to meet you all if that is ok," Dasuke said and sat at a chair though oddly not the head of the table.


"To know us? as people?" June asked "or our occupations."


"Both," Dasuke smiled "If you want to share,"


Kristeph took a seat and swung his legs his feet didnt quite touch the floor.
 
Everyone sat down, but Emma who stayed standing.


"I hope you don't mind if I go first.." Emma said with a smile. "My name is Emma. I run the orphanage in town." She told them with a smile. "I hope I can do what is needed of me. I wish nothing more then to give people the safe future they deserve." She sat down soon after, pushing her dress under her and then placing her hands in her lap.


Rikki wondered what it was like... dealing with so man children. She must have a lot of patient."My name is Rikki. I actually run some of the training classes in town... for anyone willing to pick up a sword and shield." She told him. "I'm happy to fight for this town. As a guardian I can protect much more then just as a shield maiden."


Phoenix shrunk a bit in his chair, he didn't want to say anything. He didn't do anything.... he just.. stayed home and cooked and cleaned and... and did thing with his lover who was in the army... He himself didn't do anything.


Aldric grinned, "My name is Aldric, I just wounder about. I do odd jobs for odd people." He said simply with a hum.
 
June looked at Rikki "We are similar, My name is June I run an archery school. I am an orphan myself so no family to get in the way of fully pursueing any thing i need to,"


Nico laughed "God... Well I'm Nico, I like to keep to myself and stay out of everyones way," he told everyone "Expecially the woman in this group,"


Kristeph cleared his throat "I am the man of the house I take care of mama and my three sister, oh my names Kristeph."


Dasuke smiled pleasantly at everyone but he looked at Pheo at the end "you don't have to say anything if you don't wish Phoenix," he assured the boy
 
"Um... My name is Phoenix..." He started, "Everyone can call me Pheo.. Umm... I know a bit of Hand to Hand combat. But... I just take care of my.. ehm.. friends house." Kin and Pheo were usually private about their life, "He is a soldier. I just live there and clean and cook.." He then nodded a bit, to show he was done.


Emma smiled just at pleasantly as Dasuke at everyone else.
 
"My turn? I am Dasuke you all know me as the leader here but really I am just a simple father and a man who wants nothing more then peace, I invited a friend of mine to come see you with his adopted daughter," Daduke told them all "Be nice to them and they will be to you... Shania has a temper be warned,"
 
Dasuke chuckled he heard the door open and a brunett woman walked in she wore leather armor and had a sword she was a gaurdian one that stepped down to make room for the new. "Tannis will be here soon... he was napping in the sun again."


"Ah Shania meet the new team." Dasuke chuckled imagining the man just laying in the sun napping it was an oddly cute image.


"Hello guardians," Shania said.
 
Aldric was immediately at Shania's side, kneeling on one knee, "It is beyond an honor... such beauty as well. I'm Aldric... you can call me Al.. or 'all you ever wanted'..."


Rikki made a face, it was a mix between 'what?' and 'is he serious?'.
 
"I am so out of your league," Shania crossed her arms and looked down at him. "Be lucky Tannis taught me its improper to punch suitors,"
 
"None sense, no one is out of my league, because I play the whole field!" Aldric insisted.


Of course there was laughing as a red haired man entered the room. His hair was a mess at the moment and there was grass in it, "I'm so glad you listen to me Shania. I'm so sorry I am late...." He said, honestly... he proububly should have actually be AT the ceremony.


Emma only laughed lightly at the situation, everything felt light hearted at the moment.


Rikki rolled her eyes lightly, she can now count one of them as an idiot.
 
"I'd watch for flying objects if you choose to court shania lad," Dasuke said with a grin "Its alright old friend you need your rest like all of us," he stood to greet Tannis.


June was shocked by Aldric's behavior he didn't even head a threat from a previous gaurdian surely she can protect herself.
 
Aldric of course stood and grinned at Dasuke.


Tannis ran his fingers through his hair and pulled out a piece of grass with a curious look then smiled, "Sometimes I get too much of it I think. I'm Tannis... retired guardian, it is a please to meet you all."


"It really is a pleasure." Emma said with a smile.


Pheo still hadn't really spoken up, just kept to himself for the most part.
 
"We and a few more of the group are gonna be training you... Remember I will be your instructor and i tend to hit harder then I realize," she said her threat aimed at Aldric.


Dasuke smiled "Yes Shania was weilder of the purple stone, she had power over spirit... and was rather devastating with it. Tannis had the red stone and it was fire in his hands."


"You make it sound poetic Dasuke," Shania said.


"Yes poetic...." Nico looked at his blue stone.
