I. Guardians Return
Mantra, the power of a human soul. Many believe it to be another word for Aura, but humanity has forgotten this ancient power. It was a time when there was not two gods, but many. One stood among the rest. He was called Traitor, Destructor. But the tales called him other things. Hero, Protector, Father.
Asura!
Wake up, Asura! Seek my Reborn Form!
An unknown village ruin
Eyes opened, blinked once. Twice. Three times. The young boy then looked around the bits of rubble and lumber. He struggled to remember who he was, What was going on. He crawled and maneuvered out through an opening he could see. He crawled through it, seeing the burning ruins of the village around him. What happened? What was going on? The boy's eyes widened when he noticed the bodies scattered around the streets. He fearfully backed away in fright. He couldn't tell what was going on, his red eyes darting wildly.
"I don't understand, what's going on here!? Where's my mother!?" Were his frantic thoughts. Those Said thoughts were then interrupted, when he heard the growls, and the movements that accompanied it. Then he saw them. Wolf like creatures black as midnight with ivory bones on their bodies, and malicious eyes. They began to circle the boy. He felt the need to run, to find a way to escape. He slowly began to cry silent tears, which began to hit the ground.
The beowolf leapt at the Boy, only to see a flash of red aura, along with a metallic fist punching into it, sending him flying.
"So, you called for me."
"Wh-what?" The child said in wonder as he began to back away in fear.
"Boy, hide yourself. It won't take me long to deal with these creatures." The Owner of the Arm that struck the beowolf cracked his knuckles. He was tall,"Gone for Thousands upon Millions of years, yet nothing has changed at all!"
The Demigod Asura, The Destructor, had returned, charging out towards the Grimm. His red aura of rage exploded as he began his relentless slaughter of his current foes, all the while reflecting on the events and the conversation upon his reawakening.
Mere moments ago...
"Wake up Asura! Seek my Reborn Form!"
"Master!?" Asura stirred as his eyes snapped open. He looked around at where he was and then at himself. He unclenched and clenched his fists, his eyes widened in alarm. "Impossible... I still live?"
"More like Mantra has begun to return, and chose the victor of our duel all those Aeons ago." Said a voice. Asura looked to his left and glared in annoyance. The Golden Spider rested on his shoulder. Of course it would return as well. But somehow it seemed lesser, almost stripped of most of his original powers. Now he was merely a spider.
"Chakravartin, answers. Now."
"It seems Gaea has called for you, to be the New God of Mantra. it seems She has been under the care of some irresponsible brothers." The Spider mused. "She called for mantra to be restored, but instead the brothers gave only a part of the understanding back. Hence our, or should I say your, returned state."
"And repeat the same steps you've done?! I will not be prayed to nor will I ever be! What's to stop me from squishing you like the bug that you are!?" Asura yelled out holding a fist towards him.
"One, Don't threaten what is now a mere spirit. It's not healthy." The Spider retorted. "Second, you're more caring, hence why it seems Gaea itself picked the winner of our bout as The Mantra spinner, so I have no doubt you'll be more... 'directly involved' with the world, which sounds immensely boring in my case, but you do it your way, Call yourself a Demigod as well still, if you're not that ambitious."
"That still doesn't explain your presence." The Demigod replied, annoyed at being called such and already starting to lose patience.
"It seems I'm here to keep you on track. But we can argue left and right about the minor details later. Someone needs you." The Spider Said. "Someone familiar, yet..."
Present
"Somehow, not the same." The words echoed in Asura's mind as he finished off the last remaining beowolf. He panted, working off the last of his rage summoned up for his first battle in a long, long time. He looked around for the Boy, walking towards the hiding place he ordered him towards.
"It's Alright for now. We have to get out of here soon, more will come." The boy nervously poked his head out and rushed towards him, giving him a tight embrace. Immediately, the demigod saw flashes of his own memory, and saw the boy's as well. Then he heard laughter and looked up towards the heavens, to behold a face he thought he'd never see again.
"So. You found me." The Spirit Of his own Master, Augus, said with a massive grin on his face. He looked as unchanged as ever.
"Augus? How are you here? Who is this boy? Why did Gaia call me to aid him?"
"Gaia has called for you, and myself, and whoever is a descendant of your daughter. For you This is a new chance to help Gaia, and guide and protect someone, and prove once again that you are not me. The young man is Augustus Ancalagon. You may call him Augus as well. As you have guessed by now Asura." The Spirit descends and Augus's appearance takes the shape of the boy. "I am him, and He is me!"
"W-who are you?" The young boy asked.
"Augus. I am Asura. I've come to aid you."
"No, I wanted my mother, she has to be here, she's gotta!" Augus Said, confused as to why the man would come for him, and the tears threatened to return.
"Stop crying! We both know the truth, however horrible it seems. These... creatures and their invasion has robbed you of your mother. Have you no other family?"
"N-no." Came the reply.
The Demigod looked around, seeing nothing of value. "This world seems so different to the one I left. We have a lot of work to do, you and I."
"We?" THe Boy Asked Asked, "I'm only eight years old, I don't know what I should do, I can't even defend my home, my mother, or myself from Grimm! You're the strong one, not me. Remnant is a cruel place." The Boy was then picked up by the collar of his shirt as he stared into the red eyes of the tall muscular Demigod.
"What you lack, is training. So here's the cold hard facts. Yes, you're young, your path shouldn't have opened until you were older, but circumstances change. Life is unfair, but you have to live as good of one as you can." Asura explained. "I cannot replace the family you lost. But as you have no one else, it is my duty to guide you the best I can. I will train you on how to fight, how to live, and what you need to protect from here on out. I shall open your path. In exchange,"
"Exchange?" Augus Asked in slight worry.
"This Remnant, or what you called Gaea, I wish to know more about it. As we travel and train I want to know more about your world. I want to see it from your point of view. Is that a fair bargain?"
"I... I guess." Asura looked at him oddly. "I don't know much either." At that, the Guardian Of Wrath chuckled, setting the boy down.
"Fair enough, Boy." He relented. "Let's go."
Thus, Asura took his master in his arms and walked out and away from the village. Little did he know that a black bird was following them, intrigued by the presence of the Demigod. It landed on the ground a good distance from them and surveyed the dead Beowolves around it as they began to dissolve.
Moments Later, in the Bird's place, was a lanky Huntsman with his weapon sheathed as he aimed his scroll towards the retreating figure, snapping a quick photo before moving to make a call.
"Hey Oz. Qrow here. Got something Strange for ya to dig into. Dunno if he's friend or Foe. Sending you the intel now." When that was said, Qrow sent the picture to his contact. "I watched the guy literally destroy a pack of Beowolves."
"Hm, this is interesting. I'll notify the others to keep an eye out for this individual, should he show up again." Said the Headmaster Of Beacon As The Huntsman ended the call.
"Heh. A powerhouse that makes Tai look like a sissy? If he shows up again, i think we'd be the last to know." Qrow joked to no one in particular.
Meanwhile
Asura began leaping across the forests and valleys. "Chakravartin, I'll need your help in creating a residence." The Demigod requested as he stopped at a particular valley and set a sleeping form of his reincarnated master down on a soft bed of grass.
"What else am I here for if not to guide you on how to use your newfound powers? Just do not misuse them once you've learned how to do it yourself. As your predecessor and now your majordomo out of forced penance, I'd be insulted if you did. But regardless, let us get started. Gaea won't save itself!" The Spider Said As He and Asura began to create a place where Asura could learn of Remnant, and where he could train and teach his Master's new form all he needs to know to become a Guardian, just like he once was. Asura needed all the help he could get. This was a good start. His thoughts were on the future, and of the descendant he had to seek out as he and Chakravartin began creating what he would call New Shinkoku.
There for the next nine years, Asura will train with Augus. Build reserves for when they have to battle large armies of Grimm. But most importantly, reforge Wailing Dar, for the Latter's use. This newer form would not be as powerful, but the Katana will be forged with Mantra and recognize the hands of its master.
I was once called Guardian, then Traitor, then Savior. Gaea restored the power of Mantra when a new threat emerged. I will now be called Guardian again.
Augus, My Old Master, Has reincarnated into a Child Of this strange age of Gaea. HE must be taught how to manipulate Mantra.
So that when he is old enough, and the time comes for us to defend the helpless, the innocent from these Monsters that they call Grimm, and those Who would take advantage of them. We will find Mithra's descendant, and make our enemies remember this;
They will all fear the power of Our Wrath.
To Be Continued...
Hiya folks, BlackXII here, creating another story based around the world of Remnant! This time the ailing world has called upon the Demigod Asura, who has now been unwillingly given the title of God of Mantra.
(Re Written concept) But our Favorite Demigod Of Anger isn't the only protagonist. To put a spin on it, Asura has his old Master, Augus in a reincarnated form to aid him, a descendant of his own daughter Mithra to seek out as their first major objective. Their Training and their path will lead them to Beacon where , Good concept? Bad concept? Too OOC? Lemme know what you think.
Remember to Review!
