Summary: My name is Anaitus, and I'm a Guardian. More specifically, I'm Shulk's Guardian. And my goal is to protect him and everyone he loves. I had traveled the Bionis for 900 years, and have finally found him. But things quickly become complicated and my goal becomes harder to reach with each passing moment. And as time passes, I begin to think that I won't be able to reach it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Xenoblade. If I did, then Shulk and Reyn would be together.
Prologue- My Story
My name is Anaitus, and I'm a Guardian of the Bionis. You may be asking 'What's a Guardian of the Bionis?' or 'How do you know you're a Guardian?' or even a simple 'Why are you a Guardian?'
Well, allow me to answer those questions for you.
A Guardian of the Bionis is exactly what it sounds like. They protect all that is the land and its owner, the Bionis himself. However, there are two types of Guardians; one is where the Guardian only protects the Bionis and the land, and the other makes it their goal to protect just one living life form.
How I know I'm a Guardian, well… because the Bionis told me, in my dreams. And to answer your third question as well, the Bionis told me that I was chosen to be a Guardian to protect someone that lives on him. He told me that I had to protect this being with my life and my soul, that I had to do everything I could to make sure that he stayed well, healthy, and in one piece through-out his life.
Yes, I am the second kind of Guardian, but, the problem is… I don't know who I'm supposed to protect. The Bionis never told me.
Before I get on with the story, and before I can answer any more of your questions, let me tell you a little bit about myself.
You already know my name, so let me describe myself to you. When I'm a human, I have long, fluffy, black hair that comes down to the back of my knees and is always in a ponytail. I'm a little taller than five feet and I weigh a little over a hundred pounds; I'm pretty light for how old and tall I am.
My age? Well, you'll be a bit shocked to hear that I am 918; I've lived on the Bionis far longer than any human or creature I know. I've protected the Bionis for 900 years and have searched the lands of our God in hopes to find the human I needed to protect.
And my eyes are a pure gold color that turns a bright crimson red whenever I'm mad.
Now, I did say, when I'm human and you may be questioning why. It's because, before I took my human form, I was not but a creature that lived on the highest peaks of the Bionis. In truth, I am an animal of sorts.
My fur is thick and black and I stand on four large paws that each have five sharp black claws. I have a long, thick, black mane that goes down to the middle of my back and is also tied in a ponytail, near the end. I have very long, pointed, furred ears. My muzzle is long and pointed and I have 62 sharp fangs in my mouth. My tail is long, thin, and at the very end there is a large, long, black fur tuft, that, believe it or not, helps me keep my balance.
And along my back are two very large feathered wings.
I am over eight feet long, with the addition of four feet with my tail and my wings are six feet in length, but are eighteen feet when stretched out. I stand five feet tall and six feet when I sit.
Over the years, I had heard people call me Kreios, which I'm sure is some form of an insult, but I don't let it bother me.
Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that as a human, I also happen to have some of my animal features? Well, I do, and those include my ears and my tail. I try to hide them though, since humans tend to become afraid easily when they see things they don't understand.
So, I hide my ears by wearing my favorite coat, a long black jacket with fur tufts surrounding the edges of the sleeves, the jacket, and the hood. And I hide my tail by stuffing it in my pants, no matter how uncomfortable.
My wings don't show, but on my back, I have a large X-cross scar that replaces them in my human form. Somehow, my wings don't hurt in my animal form, but whenever someone touches the scar, it does hurt.
I guess, I should say, it hurts a little whenever I shift into my human form, and it saps some of my energy. So whenever I go to sleep, I turn straight back into my animal form; I tend to stay away from human settlements when I do.
I think I've told you enough about myself, by now, and I'm sure you want to get to the story, right?
Well, okay, so let me last say this before we start: My goal is to find the one I'm supposed to protect and this, no matter how clichéd or difficult it is, is my story.
Hope you liked the start. Now onto Chapter 1~
