In Her Service
~ Hollow (虚 (ホロウ), horō),are a race of creatures which are born from Human souls who, for various reasons, do not cross over to Soul Society after their death and stay in the Human World for too long. They are corrupt spirits with supernatural powers that devour the souls of both living and deceased Humans. Hollows settle in Hueco Mundo, but can cross over to the Human World and Soul Society.
Hollows are former Pluses (deceased human souls) that lose their hearts to despair or remain in the real world for too long. Any spirit that is not guided to the Soul Society by a Shinigami via Soul Burial may eventually descend into a Hollow.
The majority of ghosts peacefully move on to the Soul Society after their deaths. Some, however, stay in the living world to fulfill certain goals, such as looking after a loved one, protecting a particular location, or pursuing a grudge from beyond the grave. However, with only limited abilities to interact with the living, and by definition tied to their goals, many ghosts find they are unable to cope when their loved ones move on or old enemies forget them. At this point, some will become dangerously obsessed with fulfilling those goals, even if the means to fulfill them renders the soul empty: for example, killing anyone who comes near a loved one, in order to keep them from hurting that person. In doing so, the ghost warps into a Hollow and, ironically, often makes the focus of their obsession into their first victim, such as Orihime Inoue's brother, Sora, does. This can be prevented if a Shinigami gives the soul a Soul Burial before it descends into a Hollow.
The process by which a soul becomes a Hollow usually takes months to years to complete, reflected by the length of the soul's Chain of Fate, which resides in the center of their chest.[2][3] The Chain of Fate slowly corrodes over time, coinciding with the degradation of the soul's ties to the living world. The process can be accelerated under certain conditions, such as being attacked by a Hollow, giving into extreme despair or through the use of certain spiritual powers. When the chain completely decays, they become a Hollow when a hole opens up on their chest, where the chain was attached, signifying that they have lost their heart.
Once a soul becomes a Hollow, it is driven by an eternal and insatiable hunger to devour other souls, living or dead, to fill the void caused by its descent. While their former obsession often becomes their first target, most Hollows will eventually become mindless creatures concerned only with finding the most potent souls to devour. Stronger and more evil Hollows are often able to retain some of their intelligence in Hollow form, making them more dangerous than the average Hollow.
~Hueco Mundo~
There werent many things he could remember when he woke up in a bland colorless white sanded desert; and if there was it would probably dissapear from his mind soon after the hunger hit him.
The hole on his chest was a blaring swmbol of his emptiness, the very symbol that marked him
For he was hollow a lost soul whose only pourpose was to feed and feed in an aimless cycle of carnage. With that pourpose already decided in his insinct he roamed the desert plains in search of a source to quench his burining hunger.
He ate and ate each day the hunger not subsiding so he ate more and soon evolved to the class of Menos Grande; a large giant of a creature which composed of a white skull mask with a pointy mask and a body that looked like a black cloak, but the hunger grew stronger so soon it drove him to try other giant creatures like him.
He then evolved from that state to become and became an Adjucha and regained some of his thinking and reasoning. He was a humanoid bulky creature that had a large menacing tail, and had two large horns.
But the hunger still had a small grip on him and he continued to roam the plains for supplement.
She sat alone on a rock in the white sanded desert staring at the moon in the bland dark grey sky. Collecting her thoughts on survival and trying to figure out what her pourpose was now that she was fully evolved. Pourpose…, that word was always on her mind but she never understood what it meant; at least not in this realm.
"Hey you seem lost mind if I help" a voice asked below her.
She looked down from the moon to see a male hollow who she estimated to be at adjucha level. He was humanoid with a large muscular sapphire colored body, he had a mane of pale silver hair, a strong tail, and his mask was a menacing skull with no nose hole and neon blue streakes running from the top and bottom of the eye holes.
"Have you come to destroy me in order to evolve?" she asked him with bored curiosity.
"Naw I just saw you and I can't just walk by when a girl as pretty as you seems lost."
Halibel knew from years of fighting in this world that no hollow especially adjucha level would show compassion like this, but she wanted to see how long he would pull his trickery. But then again he also called her beautiful which made her blush slightly but her hollow mask hid it well. Would a being who lived in a world were everyone was masked see beauty let alone tell gender. That too perked her curiosity.
"Im Tia Halibel what is your name"
"Oh me well babe my name is…"
Something explode behind him. His mind panicked, and now desprate to get away he sonidoed to another area.
"Heh, for an adjucha with such a high reiatsu, he was pretty quick to haul ass" a voice mocked him.
"Comes to show that power is nothing unless you got skill to back it up" mocked another.
"And unfortunately for you there will be no second chances for a second sneak attack." came a third that along with the original two giggled in the success of their sneak attack.
She looked over her shoulder and saw three hollows that were also adjucha level; One was a hollow with the form of a lion. The other was a hollow the shape of a great deer, and the last was a giant white snake with a mask crown.
"Sun-Sun, Apache, and Mila Rose what are you three doing?." Halibel asked the three hollows with a bored/irritated voice.
"We are merely protecting you Halibel-sama" The lion hollow spoke in a now clear female voice. The deer hollow stomped a hoof and shook her antlered head furiously. "Yeah and letting that bastard get to close to you for a potential assault to evolve, aint happening on our watch"
"My Apache, must you act like a brute when speaking; its quite unbecoming." The snake commented on her comrades actions causing a huge uproar between the three. But while they argued Halibel only ignored them and looked to the moon once more in the dark sky.
Halibel stood on her balcony thinking back to the days before Aizen showed up and made her an arrancar; and soon opened her eyes to resume her duties. She snapped her fingers and her fraccion Sun-Sun, Apache, and Mila-Rose appered in the room; each bowing on one knee in respect.
"You called for us Halibel-sama?" Mila-Rose said.
"Yes girls, there has been a rise of reiatsu in the southern area of the Hueco Mundo desert; we have been drafted by lord Aizen to check it out and bring back any vasto lorde we find"
"Just us?" Apache asked in excited curiosity as she cracked her knuckles. Sun-Sun shook her head at that.
"Yes, we should be enough to handle this". With that they sonidoed into the vast desert.
