Introduction
innocent sorrow
Grim reapers are feared across the world, known as icons for death and misery. But they aren't the dark soul stealing beings legends tell of. They are not the skeletal monsters the legends speak of. They play a more serious role in the world.
When someone dies, their soul is left to wander the Earth. It during this time that a soul is at risk. Creatures known as serpentiles, scour the Earth, hidden from the naked eye. These creatures feed on lost souls and create more serpentiles. They resemble human beings, but share features of other dangerous animals. If they grew to large in number, they would be able to devour all life on Earth.
5 years have passed since the Sentrada, Zane Alsana, started his training at the temples in China, and the war between the Feral Sentrada and the Reapers and their allies the Felan, sepentile's that feed on animal souls. has been brutal. The number of Feral Serpentile has been growing rapidly with the casualties of the war. The Reapers are dwindling in number, and many have deverted to the Feral's side under their unknown leader. More the 63% of the known world has fallen to the Feral, and the Styx Reaper School is the last stronghold left, constantly assaulted and barely holding on.
Zane Alsana, the first year Reaper who was born to be the Sentrada, destroyer of time and space, has finished his training with the Chinese monks in the temples along China's vast mountain ranges in order to control the destructive powers he possesses and suppress the Sentrada's need to kill. The friends he made in his short time as a Reaper have been sent to meet and retrieve him, escorting him to the Reaper territory for his help in the war, and to keep a watchful eye on him in case of his Sentrada's emergence.

He wind was calm, the tree's on the mountain swaying gently and beautifully. The sun was bright and shone through the clods easily, letting the light create shadows which dancèd. However, their was a single shadow that, no matter the speed or ferocity of the wind, moved swiftly, yet calmly.
The owner of this shadow was tall, and had the aura of happiness around him. He was dressed in the clothing of a chinese monk, and carried a wooden pole in his right arm to help him in his walk. A smile was on his face, and his hair was a shining silver, which seemed to compliment his blue eyes.
As the figure walked down the many steps of the temples, he obtained the view of the docks. His smile broadened as he continued down the steps. He could also hear a boat in the distance, approach in the docks. And he knew who would be on the boat. He chuckled and started down the last set of steps. "Its been 5 years. I wonder how its affectedeveryone." Zane said as heçontinued down the steps.
Zane was not alone however. Behind him the soft footsteps could be heard of another, more smaller, figure. This one was female, and was dressed in simaler clothing. There was a slight difference however. She had the ears and tail, as well as eyes, of a tiger. She followed closely behind Zane, her tail swaying. "With the war, I'm sure they won't be in the best of moods."
Zane chuckled. "Still, it will be great to see them again."

Stella/Aaron
The wind softly blew Stella's hair, and to her it almost felt like the most wonderful thing in the world. Her companion, how ever, was not enjoying the salt breeze as she is. Aaron, though a water element, is hung over the railing, seasick. She raises a hand, trying to block out the sun. With better vision than most normal humans, she easily spotted the difference in color. "It'll be good to see Zane again. I think you'll like him," to which Aaron replied "uggh." Stella smiles, wondering if she should alert the others.

Ramona had been sitting on the roof of the control room because it was the highest point on the boat making it easier to hear the wind. She was grateful to be away from the politics and junk for a couple of days, being a wind element made her disinclined to being confined. She smiled when she heard news of Zane and Theta being near the docks. "Stella, I am going on ahead, you are in charge while I am gone," she informed her friend from her perch before taking off through the air, ignoring any objections. Soon she was on shore and waiting with a grin for Zane and Theta to arrive.

Zane reached the bottom of the last staircase and looked out to the shore, noticing a figure waiting. He smiled as he recognised Ramona. Before he could even wave, Theta rushed past him in an incredible speed. "Ramona!" She shouted reaching her in a matter of seconds. She grabbed her in a massive bear hug and grinned broadly. "Its been so long!" She said releasing her.
Zane smiled, walking slowly towards them. When he reached them he smiled. "Ramona, the years have been good to you." He said bowing slightly.

He had the gull to smile at her, finely unbending himself from the railing. Stella held up a hand, already know what he's going to say. "Save the preachings for the bay, Aar. If i hear one more person try to pull an Iroh from Avatar The Last Airbender, there will one scream worthy field medic close to hand." He grinned, and Stella pouted and crossed her arms. "Or i could throw you overboard."
Aaron chuckled. "Have I told you recently you look good when you're in charge?"

She hugs Theta back just as firmly when she crashes into her. "I see you have gained back your confidence, that is good," she greets Theta warmly. Ramona then turns hef attention to Zane and nods in aknowledgement of his greeting. Then when he bows to her she punches him in the gut with enough strength to knock him back a couple of feet. "That is for taking so damn long and have I mentioned how much I hate politics. I have been doing nothing but playing politics and stategizing battles and missions all this time. I have not been allowed out on a single mission," she seethed then brightened up as she hugged him, "But I must admit it is good to see you again."

Theta nods of course I have!" She said giggling. "That training really helped me!" She watched as Zane greeted her, then was suddenly met with a punch to the gut. She tilted her head.
Zane graabed his gut and was surprised as Ramona snapped at him. "Sorry i-' before he could continue she had suddenly hugged him. "Uuuhhhhh....." he chuckled. "Its great too see you to Ramona. Sorry for the long delay, but I wanted to make sure I was ready."

"Well the real test will be how you apply your training. Out here if you lose a spar you lose your life and possibly the lives of your teammates. Now sit, I want to tell you two something before everyone arrives and filling you in on the war, but you both have to swear you will never reveal it in any way for as long as you exist," Ramona said seriously as she sat on the ground.

Zane nodded as him and Theta sat down with her. They both knew that with this war, losing was not an option. Zane looked at Ramona. "What is it you wish to tell us Ramona? We will keep the secret." He asked.

"What I am going to tell you is something personal, not many peole know how I gained awareness. I have not made it any secret among our forces as to how I started out. As you know and have undoubtedly told Theta I was forced to fight to the death ever since I could walk by my keepers for their own greed. I was treated like an animal so that is what I became a bloodthirsty animal, that is until I escaped. Now this is the part that I want you to keep secret, I met a woman named Kira, she was the guardian of light. I attacked her but she easily overpowered me. She brougt me to her home and taught me hygeine, clothing, manners, how to eat, speech, strategy, she told me about reapers and the old days when guardians ruled, gave me my name, and taught me everything that I value. About a year later something that I could not see attacked her, I tried to defend her, she died anyway. I blacked out and when I came to I was coverd in a black liquid and breathing heavily, I went to her side and with her last words she asked me to promise her that I would protect all the life I could. After that I went back to my keepers and demanded that they take me to this temple. I think Kira knew what I was and she knew that this war was coming," Ramona finished just as calmly as she began and studied them for their reactions.

Zane and Theta looked at each other before nodding. "Ramona, I understand why you kept this personal." Zane said smiling. "The only thing I wish was that you had trusted me to tell me sooner." He closed his eyes. "The fact that Kiara possibly knew of the war however is interesting." He opened them. "Now that I know this, it helps me put together some things.' He chuckled. "So I wish I could have met Kiara, she sounds like she was a great person. And please, trust me even though I'm a thickheaded idiot."

Stella stretched her arms up towards the sky one more time, rising to stand on the balls of her feet, enjoying the warmth of the sun, and the lack of a pager. Although the familiar weight of her pin light is still in her jean pocket. She tugs her pony tail tighter one last time as the boat moves into position to dock. "You look fine," Aaron volunteers before she can even ask.

"So the real reason that it took you so long reveals itself," she chuckled jokingly, "and just so you know I am doing better with trusting others, emotions, and social intractions. You can ask Stella when she gets here if you do not believe me, just try not to stare too much at her strange appearence."

"Strange appearance?" Zane asked as the bôat docked. "Did something happen?' Theta tilted her head. She could hear voices on the boat, and she could smel Stella. There was something different. Zane stood up and waved towards boat.

Aaron gestures towards the docks, falling back into his habit of using various forms of sign language to communicate, this one translating into "ladies first." He follows a step behind her, mindful of her body language. The first time he had seen her in this form, he had fainted, a point she brought up in arguments every once an while. He had grown to love her white hair though, and watching her perform in a capoiera circle had taken on it's own intensity. It doesn't take them long to cover the distance between the docks and Zane and Ramona's location.

When Zane first laid eyes on the two figures approaching from the boat, he raised an eyebrow. One seemed normal while the other, was part animal he almost believed one of the Felan had arrived, but Theta seemed amazed. She walked up to the two, tilting her head at the girl. "Stella..." Upon hearing Theta Zane heart skipped a beat. He studied her more closely recognising not only the way she carried herself, but the aura of friendliness around her. He walked by Theta who had pulled Stella into a hug. 'Stella...are you a....?"

"You idiot, Stella is very much alive. Certain people are able to connect with an ancient guardian spirit and take their form and use their power. They use to be more common, but with the growing technology the old ways started dying out and there were fewer people like her. Stella can explain it better but I think that was the gist of it," Ramona stated as she looked to Stella for confirmation.

"Well excuse me for being worried about a friend Ramona.' Zane said calmly. "I never heard of such a thing, so I assumed what I was most familiar with." His expression was blank, even his eyes hinted no emotions. "I've heard tales of the war, and I assume the worst instantly. So please forgive me if i become worried about a friend who saved my life and helped me.' He turned and started to walk towards the boat.
Theta sighed. "He knows that the war is bad. He even heard that Alais has become a powerful warfigjter, not talking to anyone and rarely even seen off the battlefield. He also heard of Multiple deaths. He kinda blames himself for not being there to help. During training he would be meditating constantly, and in his sleep you could hear him blaming the deaths on himself. Its stupid I know, but he really wishes he could have helped."

"I guess that joke was a little much," she tilts her head to the side in confusion, "He is going to need to be able to let those deaths go if he wants to make it through this with some semblance of sanity. After this I fear Alais will become a mercenary, if only to be able to continue killing, it is a miracle I can get her off the field as often as I do as it is. I should go apologize." With that said she took off after Zane. "I apologize for my comment earlier, it was uncalled for, I was trying to tease you but I guess it did not work out too well," Ramona said sheepishly when she had caught up to him, "Just be grateful that you will be sent out to the field, I on the other hand will be stuck with the true imbeciles that have no right to call themselves a leader where I will be tempted more than twice a day to committ suicide. Somethng that I would have done already if I did not consided it cowardly and as a warrior I cannot allow myself to give in to cowardice."

Zane stopped as Ramona caught him. He listened to her, eyes cast down and silent. "Ramona, you should know more then anyone about how I felt these 5 years. You've been working as a politicion, so you know what its like to be able to do nothing to help those on the field. But you are able to help through tactical advice.' He turned. "I couldn't do anything, not even provide moral support." He shook his head. "Knowing what's happening, and not being to help in any way. Its sickening." His expression remained blank. "Alais has become a killing machine. That's something that rests on my shoulders." He started walking again. "I expect to fight her as soon as we get back."
Theta gasped. "Zane, what are you thinking? This training was supposed to stop you from being thickheaded!"
Theta gasped. "Zane, what are you thinking? This training was supposed to stop you from being thickheaded!"

"There is the self-destructive attitude that we all missed," Ramona says sarcastically as she follows him, "If you are going to think negatively then you might as well turn around and go back to the temple. I have told the warriors your story and it has served to be an inspiration of hope to the ones that remain true to our cause. They are anxious to meet you, they believe in you, they think that with you on our side that it will turn the tides of war in our favor, but if you come back thinking like this it will crush their spirits. I have told you before have I not: negative thoughts will bring about your death, but hope will bring life. As long as there is hope there is a chance for suvival, did I not prove that to you already when you fought off the transformation. If you go back there you are going to have to be positive for them even if you think it is a load of crap. Another thing, all the shit at has happened in this war does not rest on your shoulders,it rests on mine. I was the one that made the plans, I was the one that gave the go ahead, I was the one that gave the orders sending mothers, fathers, children, brothers, sisters into the field to get killed, to watch their loved ones, family, friends, and comrades die before their eyes overs and overs again. I have wished so many times that it was me that I was there with them, beause then I might have been able to prevent it, prevent their suffering. But you know what I cannot, because I have to lead them and as leader it is my job to carry that burden and still hope for a better tomorrow until there are none left to look for." As her speech neared its end she didn't realized that her tone was gathering more and more of a steelly quality to it as she teleported herself back onto the roof of the control room.

"I don't intent to be negative, I'm not being negative right now." He said as she teleported away. He walked onto the ship and smiled. "I only intend to help Alais first before I enter this war as some type of hero."he didn't know if Ramona could hear him. "Apparently, from the stories and what you say, Alais won't be able to be reasoned with words. She will only listen to actions, and entering a fight with her will start a conversation through actions as well as words." He leaned against the railing of the ship. "You try to pull all the blame to you." He suddenly laughed. "Ramona, you haven't changed a bit!"
Theta walked on board and sighed, waving to Stella and her friend. "Stella! Zane is over here, come on and why don't you give him a hug? I'm sure you missed him!"

"As you command, general." Zane said chuckling and saluting her. "And Ramona," he said walking over to the ramp. "A leader may be a scapegoat, but the blame sits onn all of us." He smiled as he stepped near Theta. "Stella! Great to see you again, now get up here so i could see that beautiful face!" He laughed.
Theta giggled. "You sure have changed."

Aaron glances over to her, and sticks and arm out, which she happily takes. "If you want to do something helpful, drop in on med bay once an a while. Imbetween Ramona, Angela, Aaron and myself, it's a constant battle to keep up with who knows first aid and who doesn't. As for change, mostly it's for the better, even if I can put a pot of straight black coffee away any more." The corner of Aaron's mouth quirked upward. "This is the newest addition to the medical team, our infections control officer Aaron Jameson. We couldn't do half of what we're able to do without him." "Nice to meet you Zane, good to finally see you Theta," Aaron blushes.
