The First Guardian

Awakening

" ( Y/N ) come and play with me! " a young child shouted, disturbing the life in the lush and evergreen forest.

" Tana, stop screaming ! You might attract something. " A boy with chestnut hair and green comforting eyes said to the child while chasing after her causing footprints to appear on the grass beneath them.

" But I want to play ! " the child whined even louder than before and hiding behind a tree.

" I said to be- " ( Y/N ) said before being interrupted by a loud growl. Looking behind him, ( Y/N ) could see a brown bear wandering.

" ( Y/N ) I'm rig- " the child froze seeing the big ferocious beast, her legs shaking and tears slowly coming out of her eyes. ( Y/N ) looked at her and gave her a comforting smile that somehow even in a life or death situation, actually gave her comfort.

" Tana, slowly walk away. " ( Y/N ) whispered as he prepared to run.

" What about you? " Tana asked quietly while following what her older brother told her to do.

" I'll be fine, now go. " ( Y/N ) spoke a little bit louder, telling her to hurry, which Tana understood. She kept walking away slowly until she was far enough to run away. ( Y/N ) let a breath that he did not even know he was holding in, out once the figure of his younger sister vanished.

" Now to get away. " ( Y/N ) told himself as he started to walk away slowly.

* SNAP *

The loud sound of a twig snapping echoed loud enough for the bear to notice it and look for where the noise came from, the bear saw ( Y/N ) and made eye contact before suddenly running to him with a bloodthirsty expression.

" What do I do !? " ( Y/N ) asked himself as he started to run fast but not swift enough to outrun the bear that was right on his heels.

" Run ( Y/N )! " a familiar voice shouted which caused the bear to stop and look for where the voice came from.

" What are you thinking! Run Tana! " ( Y/N ) shouted and grabbed a stick and threw it at the bear, causing the bear to rampage and successfully claw at his neck.

" ( Y/N ) " Tana screamed  as ( Y/N ) fell to the ground. Lifeless.

* Decades After *

" Arise ( Y/N ), Guardian of Life. " A mysterious and wise voice that seemingly came out of thin air said. A familiar figure was slowly brought up from underneath the soil, the figure was floating towards the moon, basking in its ethereal glow. The moons light revealed the boy's tan face. It was none other than ( Y/N ). Time seemed to pass by slowly as the boy's eyes suddenly opened as if life just came back to him.

" Where am I ? " ( Y/N ) mumbled and fell down onto the soil. No grass, just the barren soil. There was no evergreen forest, there was no color. Withered trees and dead branches were all that remained. The ' forest ' was devoid of life.

" What happened here ? " ( Y/N ) said as he started to walk around.

* SNAP *

The boy froze as if he remembered something, all his old memories were coming back to him. Then all of a sudden, tear drops fall on the ground causing patches of green to appear wherever the tears fell. The tears kept coming causing the area around him to blossom with lush green scenery, his suffering brought new life.

" I couldn't save her ! " He cried out, finally wiping the tears off of his face. ( Y/N ) then realized that where he was seemed a lot more familiar and very much different compared to where he was a while ago. Yes, he did recognize where he was, how could he not. This was where he died.

" How is this possible ? " ( Y/N ) questioned the moon frantically, hoping for a response, yet none came. He waited and waited for a voice but his ears heard none. Confused and frustrated, ( Y/N ) decided to wander around, looking for something that would give him an answer. ( Y/N ) stumbled upon a village and was excited at the thought of seeing other people.

" Hello ! " ( Y/N ) shouted to people wholeheartedly as he walked into the village , not noticing that anyone heard him. He kept repeating until he was about to bump someone, or so he thought. The kid that he should have bumped into just ran through him as if there was nothing there to begin with.

" What ? " ( Y/N ) shouted, clearly confused as to how the little kid ran through him.

He panicked, desperately trying to get the attention of the people by purposely trying to bump into them, however he always went through them.

Eventually he learned what all guardians after him will learn, that they are nothing unless someone believes in them.
