## Pariahs and

The human World was as busy and bustling as it had always been, full of neon lights without an ounce of quiet to be heard, deafened by the invisible shriek that threatened the ears of anyone privy to the spiritual aspect of the city and its residence. It was midday, the sun was at its highest peak, in a not so far park, assembled a large group of figures clad in black uniforms, distinct from the rest of the passerby in both complexion and ambience, as they radianted an odd aura of fanaticism in the way they spoke.

“The Truth! Here lies the truth, anyone brave enough to see what lies beyond are free to join us in brotherhood!” Exclaimed the youth, flyers and pamphlets stretched out hand-in-hand to whoever was interested.

In the past month, the increase in Hollow activity and the steady decline of humans, in both appearances and attacks, had reached staggering levels, drawing the attention of all manner of people of interest in such matters, so much so, that one could call it a state of crisis for the very well-being of the city. Clad in all white garments, a young man bearing the quincy cross shuffled through the menagerie of people standing between him and the public servant in black, contrasting one another as he reached out for a pamphlet. The man was Mandricardo, a warrior belonging to the tribe of Quincy still active in this world.

“X…cution? The hell does that mean?” Mandricardo retorted, quickly skimming through its contents.

Arriving on the opposite sides of the man, stood 4 men. On the left were Quincy Warriors, **Bruno Meyers** and **Akio Asahi**. On the right stood, two Fullbringers, **Elijah Smith** and **Dante Mecer**. The combined spiritual pressure of the 4 men seemed to silently clash together as the all look at the flyers, as all of their faces conveyed different emotions and thoughts.

Elijah Smith couldn't help but comment to Dante Mecer, his voice barely more than a whisper to maintain the delicate balance of the moment. "These flyers turned out better than I expected," He said.

Dante nodded in agreement, his eyes briefly diverting towards the Quincy duo before returning to Elijah. "Indeed, I hope these flyers attract more individuals like us," he replied, his gaze lingering on the quincy men. "But stay vigilant; there's an unusual strength emanating from them," Dante warned Elijah, who acknowledged the caution with a quick nod of his head.

Bruno Meyers, one of the quincy warriors, couldn't help but sense the spiritual pressure of Elijah and Dante. He leaned in closer to Akio, whos eyes were fixed on the flyer. "There's something peculiar about their spiritual energy. It reminds me of a **kid** I crossed paths with some time ago," he mused

Akio Asahi, standing beside Bruno, also picked up on the distinctive spiritual signatures. His eyes scanned their surroundings as he spoke. "I sense it too, but there's more," he murmured, his gaze falling upon Mandricardo, the Quincy who stood out conspicuously in his white attire. Without hesitation, Akio gestured to Bruno, and they began to make their way towards Mandricardo.
