Introduction
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.
Reapers are the protectors of fallen souls. They are the police force of the afterlife, patrolling the world for troublesome and dangerous spirits. They are also the front line fighters against the sepentiles. These fighters of the supernatural range from 15- the 500's in age and are taught everything from simple school classes to becoming a powerful reaper.
At the age of 15, certain individuals develop "The Sight" which allows them to see lost souls and serpentiles. This is also dangerous for after obtaining "The Sight" serpentiles are able to kill these individuals. To save as many as possible, a reaper is deployed in each town or city in the world. They are then to escort the individuals to a school in Japan.
At the Styx Reaper school, half the students learn basic classes in the day. These classes include math, literature, history, and science. The other half learn these skills at night and vice versa. The students learn the trade of the reapers every day during the other classes normal teachings.. This ranges from combat training, scythe handling, element control, exorcism, as well as flight. The schools students are all potential reapers, being separated into a day class and night class.
There are 3 dorms in the Styx reaper school. The male dorm, the female dorm, and the Inter-dorm. Students who arrive are given a dorm to stay in based on availability and personality. ( I think you get what I mean) Each room in the dorm holds two reapers. (I will add more rooms if needed)
These students go through 3 years of training before becoming full time reapers. During their training, the students will sometimes accompany a senior reaper to get hands on training.

"Ice water and wash clothes. Fans, ice packs, anything to bring her tempeture down. And coffee, lots of coffee," Stella commands, laying a hand on her mother's forehead, using the back. "And something for a headache, later on if you will," she says in a softer but still steel hard tone.

"Yes, even if it sounds crazy I have good faith that we'll be victorious," Aleron said then made a dismissing motion with his hand. Seeing the others leave, he returned his attention back to Lexi who was slumped up in a chair wearing red sunglasses. She was still determined to go with his plan. Walking up and taking a glass of water and lifting it up to his chin. Now noticing that Lexi hadn't said a single word, looking at her he saw her chest slowly rasing up and down. So she fell asleep he thought. Walking back to his chair Aleron rested his head there.

Serra sighed and looked around them, unsure of what to do at the moment. "What should we do for now?" She asked.

"Just be patient and wait, I will find accomidations for the night if it is necessary," she said tiredly not finding the situation at all appealing.
Sam
As he ran through the boat to get the equested items he ran into two of his crew and ordered them to go to the empty storage room, where they usually kept the fish fresh by covering it with ice, and ordered them to bring as many buckets of the fresh ice as needed to Stella's cabin. The boys saluted him and ran off to complete their orders while he went to the kitchen to make the coffee which he poured into an extra-large termos before starting another batch. He went to the med bay to get something for a headache and carried the items back to the cabin.

Stella took the thermo of coffee and pills, and untwisting the lid to the thermo, took a swallow, ignoring the scalding hot liquid, popped the pills in afterward, and swallowed. "Alright, we're going to bag the ice in plastic bags in wrap those in towels, which are going to be tucked in right next to her sides." Stella's already getting two rags wet while she explains, one for her forehead and one for the back of her head.
Walking Earth
How could there be more people chasing her? Her legs couldn't hold her any more, and she isn't in that great of shape any more due to the fact she's seven months with child. She leans back against an outcropping of rock, panting to get enough air into her lungs. She's tried flight, and now it's time to fight.
Stella
The first noticable tremors to anyone who hasn't grown up an earth element are felt. If someone was listening to Stella's thoughts right now, they'd be deafend by the clamour of alarm bells going off in Stella's head right about now. "We need to get her awake, and we need to get her fever down, otherwise things are really going to get to rocking and rolling," she says, a a little bit of desperation leaking into her voice.

Serra nodded and yawned. She didn't know why she was so tired all the time. "Alright, I trust you will." She said laying on her side.

She looked down at Serra as she fell asleep once more an couldn't help but feel a little worried. Stella had been sleeping too much lately and she guessed that it might be a side-effect from her powers awakening so early and that her body just couldn't handle them all at the moment. Ramona sighed as she decided that she would have Stella look her over the next time they saw her.
Sam
His subordinates had already left to grab what they needed so he was there when he heard the strained tone of Stella's voice. "You can try burning her with that coffee to shock her awake or I can go get the hypodermic syringe of adrenalin," he suggested, not keen on either idea, but they were the only options that came to mind.
Setting

"The syringe would be recommended. Medic rule is don't create more problems than you fix," Stella answers, leaning back on her heels, pulling in more air into her lungs, watching her mother's eyes move underneath her eyelids, thank goodness her limbs had stopped moving. "You might want some coffee yourself Sam, I could need a bit of help, and it could take awhile," Stella advices, aware that she's starting to ramble.

"Don't worry 'bout me there's another pot brewing in the kitchen," he stated as he left to grab the syringe from the med bay as the two men came into the room with the bags and the towels so that they could bag the ice and wrap it in towls as ordered. Sam returned a few secondls later with the hypodermic syringe and handed it to Stella.

Vas aqui nada,"(here goes nothing) Stella mutters, using one hand to find a vein and the the to other cradling the syringe. She injects it, waiting for it circulate through the blood stream, felling the tremors lessen, taking another breath in when the carbon in her lungs started causing them to burn. And then Stella remembered just how fast a person with a fever can move, as she went sprawling backwards from where she'd been leaning an elbow on the bed.
Walking Earth
"Bloody cowards! I'm not going down without a fight", she growls, clearing the bed in a single vault, ending up back against the wall, reaching for the deer bone handle obisidan bladed knife that usually hung there, but was still in her pack. She looks around, the look of a cornered animal in her eyes, gray hair sticking to her face due to moisture, making her look quite the mad woman. She watches for a second more, briefly flipping over to Stella, who's loosely picked herself up and is now in position to launch a flying tackle if need be, and Sam, who is most definately not that cad husband of her's Hiram. Confusion flits over her face, just for a second.

"Miss. you need to calm down and lay back down in bed, right now ya have a fever and yer gonna pass out if you keep this up," he instructed as he held his hands up to show that he wasn't holding any weapons and that he was not a threat.

It took a second, but Walking Earth's mind caught up with her body in the current century, her now long dead pursuers gone, along with the pain in her back. She blinks, eyes darting around the room, taking in Stella in her battle crouch, and Sam, his body language as non-threatning as possible. She closes her eyes for a second, trying the bury the memories her fever dreams had uncovered, her muscles losing their own battle ready tenseness.
Stella
Yes, Stella knows her mother is but a mere mortal, but it still shakes her to see her mother this vunerable. Stella knows little of her mother's past, only what her on detective work has been able to uncover. Once Walking Earth relaxes, so does Stella, pushing off the floor with her right leg under her to stand straight. "Les getcha back in bed, okay mom," she says softly, still ready to make a move if so needed. She relaxes in stages as her mother complies, smiling a little at the frown that appears on Walking Earth's face as she allows herself to be tended too, something quite unusual for her.

Zane coughed as they stopped on the fifth day of their travels. He checked his leg and fixed the rough bandage he had thrown over the cut. For five days him and Theta had been traveling, following the trail but still seeing no temple. They had lost their supplies when a pack of wolves had attacked them. Theta managed to scare them, but they had taken the backpack full of food and supplies. Theta had no trouble hunting for souls, but Zane was dangerously low on energy. Not once had he used his element. He had even kept it from healing his wound. He looked like shit. He felt like shit. He was practically covered in shit. He groaned as he stood to walk again. Theta had continuously offered to help him, but he denied it and walked alone. Another five hours had passed before they got their first look at the temple. They found multiple steps leading to the grand buiing and climbed til they reached the top. Once they reached the top, Zane fell to one knee.
