Planetary Soul

Chapter 1 - I Have A Goal!

Set in a country called Latoh, in Yoma, one of the 3 continents on the planet called 'Earth'.

"Yes, i've done all my work for now. I dont know why you have me do all this grunt work when there are bigger and stronger guys in the village doing nothing but drinking all day."says Ethan. He dusts off his hands after a full day of carrying in fresh boxes of food and drink." If this weren't my only source of income i would've dropped these heavy boxes and ran off. "He says. The chief replies," So what if they're heavy? You're stronger than most of the brawn and no brain guys lurking around here. All of their muscles are just for show. We both know that you train your body more than they do. That's why you are perfect for the job!"

The chief, Gora Satima, is the strongest and most respected man in barosa village. He is a 38 year old man with a big and muscular body, which he has used for good in the past.He wears a black tank top most of the time along with beige shorts and black slippers. He has brown eyes, clean face and his hair of brown colour flows down the back of his head to a level just below his ears. He had saved the village from dangerous people and animals countless times, all by himself. Ethan walks up to the chief and asks, "What did it take?" The chief replies in an annoyed tone, "What the hell are you rambling on about now!?" Ethan looks down and asks"What did it take to be so strong Chief? What did you have to sacrifice?I've been watching how you fight off boars and criminals that come to the village and test their luck, ever since i was a snot nosed brat." The chief puts his hand on Ethans head and says to him in a stuck up tone" Well i thought it was obvious but im just trying to impress your mother, she is quite the looker! "He bursts out in laughter. Ethan slaps the chiefs hand off his head," Ugh, dont tell me that! Besides my mother is too sweet and innocent for a stuck up old geezer like you!" The chief yells,"I'M ONLY 38 YOU BRAT!"Ethan replies in a sarcastic tone," yeah sure keep telling yourself that."He runs off. Gora screams at the top of his voice," HEY, GET BACK HERE!"He then whispers to himself as Ethan dissapears behind the houses next to the docks,"Damn it, he's already gone."

Ethan is currently 16 turning 17 in 5 days. He looks skinny with his baggy blue top and gray shorts that he wears. But underneath he has a fit but not madly muscular structure. Ethan is more of a risk taker than anything else, causing those who care for him to worry most of the time.

Ethan runs home, opens the front door and is met with the threatening look of his mother, Julia. "Why are you home so late? You were suppose to be here an hour ago. Dinner has already been prepared but you can only eat after i have recieved an explanation!" She says in an angry but somehow calm voice. "I went to go get some more groceries from old man Shika before i came home, but had to take care of some nobodies who tried to pick a fight with me for my money. They were stronger than the usual thugs around here so it took a while." Ethan says while walking in and looking at the dinner table." How many times have i told you to stop fighting with people? Im always the one who has to go and apologise to them. But its alright, just go ahead and eat."Ethan takes a seat at the table looking at a picture of his Dad that was sitting atop the small bookshelf next to where he eats."Im about to turn 17 dad, you said you would return when im 18, im counting on you."

Ethans father, Kiba Mosuma, aged 41, is what they call a 'continental bounty hunter'. This is the highest rank a bounty hunter can be known as out of all 6 ranks. Beginner, Amateur, mid-class, experienced, countral, and finally, continental.

Kiba had left home when Ethan was still 10 years old. Before he left he said to his son, "Im going to the other side of the world. To the continent of royals and nobles, Koma. Theres a mile long list of high bounty criminals there trying to steal from the rich, and i have to do something about it. But i promise to you and your mother, i will return, in about 8 years time. So rich that we will be able to afford one of those massive houses you always dreamed of living in. Your 18th birthday will be spent in that dream house, dont you worry."Then he patted Ethan on the head, gave his wife a long hug and then left the house heading to the docks.

"Mom, dont you wish to see dad again soon?" Ethan asks his mother while gobbling down on the potato dish that had been made for dinner that night. "Ofcourse honey!" His mother replied. Ethan puts his hand in front of his face and then clenches a fist, "He will be back in no time, just you watch." he says. He gets up and continues his sentance, "I have a goal, and im leaving the house once i turn 17 to go and achieve that goal for this world! Dont worry mom, i will only be gone for a year and i will return when dad comes back, and you have Dante to take care of you!" His mother smiles and says"I dont know what this goal of yours is, you refuse to let me know, but give it your all, my son!"
