The Fallen Rises 2, The Power Pendants

Chapter 5 The Old Shack.

It was 9 in the morning and Glen was eager to see Alina as he rushed downstairs to get his things and packed them in his bag, he ran around the house looking for his book. His father Jason Ashfall while finishing his work at home reminded him "did you check your room?" Glen yelped, running all the way to his room, it was funny that he forgets sometimes. Once he finished packing Glen ran to the front door with excitement and yelled "Bye dad I'll be back soon!" Jason warmly smiles as he waves at him. After Glen left home, His hardworking father first puts his things in the box and cleans the table, next he brings the box right to his messy room and finally puts it in his shelf, Jason can take a break after his morning work, but right beside him was a drawer, he opens it and looks at the photo of a diseased man then he sees the memory of him giving the baby to him and left. Jason said in sorrow "Glen... I hope you're ready to learn the truth." Glen knocks on the door of Alina's house, and he sees her parents who opened it. Her father assumed that Glen came to see her and lets him in, usually he doesn't let anyone in their house except for family members. He seems calm when he saw Glen because he is Alina's friend after all. Glen walks upstairs looking for Alina's room, he checked them one by one but none of them are hers they're just empty beds Glen looks sideways when he hears her whisper. While a bark approaches below Glen, he said to himself "I wonder where she went" at that moment, something dragged him hard like a ghost that snatches people up to an odd room on the ceiling. Once Glen set foot, he finds himself in a very wide attic full of many books and different types of flowers, he was so surprised, he wonders how a room so amazing be kept a secret. He walks around the room looking at each collection she had, then at the corner there was a cloth covering a large, peculiar thing. Glen tried to control himself from going towards it, but he couldn't stop himself. When he removes the cloth, it made him screamed fell and wish he didn't see it. Alina heard Glen in her room and climbed up the ladder. "So, you saw the wooden sculpture" Alina could tell because of the fear on Glen's face, when he pointed at the sculpture and stutter "d-d- did you m-m- made this?" Alina giggled "Yeah" That was the sculpture of the great white shark. For about a minute, Glen remains calm as he sees that it's just a sculpture. After that he seems to find out that the room inside was Alina's. Glen stands up as she walks toward him saying "So why are you here I thought you're supposed to spend your time reading it alone" Glen first looks at the book then shows it as he answered, "I was, but I got confused with this one page, so I assumed you knew something about it." Alina seems interested with that idea when she saw all the unknown information about the spirit guardian. Alina replied then ran downstairs, "Let's go Glen" "Where?" he asked, then Alina shouted, "Just follow me!" Glen shrugs and did what she said to him, he ran downstairs and followed her to an old shack which was very confusing. Glen opened the shack door and all he sees is nothing the shack was empty, until Alina accidentally bumps into an elevator right in front of them. He doesn't really know why she led him to a place so old, but it has something to do with what she suspected. Alina was thinking of what button she should push for the elevator door to open, so she chooses the button on the top left, and it did, then Alina takes a step inside it, she turned around seeing Glen who looks frozen then starts speaking "Come on don't just stand there" Glen yelped "Oh" and ran to her in the elevator. Once she pressed the button the elevator doors shut and goes down. 30 minutes later Glen read the book on the table, while Alina tries finding information of it among the bookshelves. Sadly, there is nothing but common information about the guardians. Alina borrowed the book Glen was reading and studied about it but as she saw the info was unknown, she agreed "You're right, there is nothing about it" Suddenly they heard a voice lurking in the shadows "Because spirit guardians are the rarest one's ever discovered" that shadow that came was Alina's father, he knows few things about spirit guardians because he was once a guardian before they both exist. Once Glen and Alina want to know what they are, her father tells a legend he learned at his young age.

It all started years far longer before life on Earth exists. The Spirit Guardians were one of the most powerful ones that roam the galaxy, they were said to be protectors of all living beings from most threats that seek to consume everything just for themselves. The spirit guardians win every battle, and the universe is safe from harm one by one against destructive beings that live, they were also known as the most peaceful of the guardians and with their idea of peace their worlds were kept in harmony and in unity. But one day everything changed. There was fire burning all over the place Shadows lurking from behind, killing, and consuming the innocent people around many planets. Not even the Spirit Guardians survived that Hellish Genocide. All that darkness came from the one who they call Eternal who created that home seeks to destroy millions of souls without a question, turning them to ashes, then he disappeared thanks to the two remaining guardians Kurai and Della.

That was when Glen heard enough from the story, Alina's father told them about now that they know who those guardians are. Although Glen and Alina became even more curious, so they borrowed the books from the old shack and brought it to the attic to learn more about all those Guardians and its galactic history. Alina's parents looked at them talking to each other while reading, her mother smiles at that moment while her father turned away trying to forget the moments he had with his dead older brother after seeing happiness on Alina and Glen's faces
