Chapter 2: The Blueprints

Ronnin walks into the bar the next day, some people stopping and looking at him, then grinning and going back to their business. "Hey Sho, regular again."

"Oh hey Ronnin, huh, you're still wearing those weird robes."

"Ah, yea, there not that bad"

"I see, so, did you get some kind of explanation for all the things that happened yesterday."

"Yea, hallow is what we're calling that thing."

"Hollow?"

"Yea, a being that losses its heart due to extreme hatred or distress."

"I see, and you?"

"I'm calling my brother and I Balancers, but I guess we really owe our transformation to that Hollow, when it hit us its strength was poured into us, giving us the powers we can now use."

"What are you calling your powers?"

"Well our fast run is shunpo, a special run that is so fast only those with a trained eye or equal speed can see. And we also got started on some blueprints."

"Blueprints, for what?"

"A living place for all future Balancers, and it will be called, Seretei."

Within a few weeks, word about Seretei had gotten out, and everyone wanted to help build it, and with the extra help, they said it could be done in as little as 1000 year. But then about 50 years after the start of construction, everyone turned up to work in the morning, but the two Balancers didn't turn up. The people of soul society went up to their house, and it was completely destroyed, even the ground around it seemed disturbed.

Many had made theories on how they vanished; some think they fled, felt like a burden to soul society that wasn't needed, others believe they ran in search of a better place to build Seretei, some think a Hollow came during the night and killed them in their sleep; but no one can confirm any of these, and no trace of them was left behind. Now, without them, they could no longer complete the Seretei project, for they were the only ones who ever saw any part of its blueprint, however, as a tribute to them, they left the unfinished city like it was, and left it there for generations untouched.

But then, about 1000 years later, another man became a Balancer, and accessed Seretei to try and see if any clue was left inside, for no one dared entered Seretei after the accident, and when he was rounding the place, he came upon a house that was completed, though in stories he'd heard, no building was ever finished in Seretei's production, he went closer and found the actual blueprints of Seretei on the wall that surrounded the building, and on the back of them it had a message on it. This message read;

Hello, if you are reading this letter, you must have obtained powers of a Balancer, for the incantation upon this requires you to be one. First you must understand why my brother and I vanished, and it was for the cause of greater purpose, we realized, that we couldn't run Seretei ourselves, for personal reasons I cannot tell you. My brother and I had a battle to see who would stay and guard Soul Society and who would leave to find new land, out of view to build our own Seretei, I, Ronnin, won the battle to stay and guard, however, I have not yet received note of my brother's whereabouts, I am worried he never did set out for the cause he was meant to do. Now you must understand what to do with these blueprints, you are to build Seretei and become the Head Captain of the thirteen court guard squads, protectors of Soul Society, and once complete, hide these blueprints in a secret location and tell no one where they are. Now, this is most important. Throughout many years, I will hand pick 12 captain level Balancers to serve as my Royal guard and will vanish completely, leaving nothing behind, also, there is to be no record of my brother's or my existence. Lastly, I have hidden something very important in the world of the living, a special piece of my reiatsu called Jurichi which I will move every now and then for safe keeping, and there is a special key to the house this was on, the one I'm in, its location is very secret, only you can know its location, and there is to be no record of it, this key is called the Oken, there is one already, the Jurichi is what can make a new one, as you will find, my house is no longer in Seretei, I have moved it to an alternate dimension which the Oken unlocks. Now read closely, and do not forget, the location of the Oken is…

To the present day, only the current head captain, Yamamoto, knows where the Oken is hidden, But now that they have the blueprints, they could restart the production of Seretei, which they did so the very next day and it took almost 10,000 years to complete, by which time the academy for those who wish to become Balancers go for training and at least a fair 300 more Balancers had come to light, and two had even achieved bankai level.
