Prologue: A meeting

..................

"......!"

..........annoying

".....!!!" 

.......what

"..... up!"

......don't wanna

"Get up!!!!!"

......Hah?

What the hell?

Who's screaming?

Lazily, I open my eyes and look around. I'm in a large and basically blank space, nothing around except other people, some chairs, and a random stage, which seem to be floating.

Then I turn back to look at the annoyance. It's a male holding a clipboard, his face would be handsome if not for the angry expression on his face, what with his golden irises and blond hair...yep a standard annoyance.

Than he says something again, "#243 wake up! This is a meeting, an annual meeting! How hard is it to stay awake for like 3 hours!?" Oh right, did I mention he's an angel, like with the shiny white wings and all? He's annoying though, as if I care about some boring meeting. I wanna go back to sleep...but my benefits will probably be cut and I rather enjoy watching those silly Earthlings anime on the Gaurdian Net. Sadly, it seems I will have to pay attention during this meeting...for like 5 minutes....

As I get up, I look around and see similarly bored Guardians who look well, like gaurdians! No really, that's the best way to describe it since us Guardians don't have a standard appearance. Instead, we come from all races with varying appearances and clothing preferences, which is a hassle in my opinion. Not that I need clothing, I'm a dragon after all. With my shiny, super awesome black scales I could care less about clothes, or rather it would be weirder if I did wear anything.

"Hi"

I pause to look around for whose talking until I look down and notice some tiny guy in front of me...where did he come from? My stare seems to have offended him as he yells, "Don't tell me you didn't even notice me!?" Well, to be fair...he is tiny...

"I'm not tiny, your just stupidly huge! Why aren't you shrinking like most of the other big guys do!" Is he a mind reader!? Though, what is he talking about? Shrink myself? I don't really want to, that is too much work as I would have to like concentrate and stuff...too much work. So I tell him that, but he just stared at me "it seems your reputation is well-deserved" is all he had to say before he walked away seemingly tired of this conversation. Reputation? I wonder, have I met him before? Let's see, a pale-skinned guy, around 2 meters, silver hair, red eyes, and obsidian horns curling around his head...yep don't remember anyone like that...also what is with his black robes there almost as dark as my scales! The kind of black that seems to suck the color and light out of the surroundings. That's my thing!

Well, I don't really care too much so I'm just going to go my regular corner as I don't like talking to people.

*10 Minutes later*

"Welcome to the 600,600,600,600,600,600th meeting of the Guardians!!!"

That fellow must be new...otherwise he wouldn't be so enthusiastic...hey wait what! It's the Blondie!! What's he doing up there!? That stage is for our supervisor...damn...that annoying idiot is going to be the new supervisor!? Screw it I'm retiring!!!

"As usual in this meeting we will be reviewing our performance as a group and looking for improvements that can be made to our current system"

Yeah sure, just don't change anything for me, I like it the way it is...

"Moreover, this year is important since we have seen a decrease in the amount of mortals reaching the required threshold to ascend, so we must look into this and why it has decreased!"

Meh, less work for me so I could care less...

"Serious matters aside, my name is Courage and yes I'm the supreme angel of one of the seven virtues, Courage! My name is the same as my virtue as per the tradition, but don't worry I hope to work with you all at your pace and encourage the mortals!!!"

So that's why he has so many wings!!!!

"As well I will leave as soon as my job is--"

""""Yayyyyy"""""

Wow, looks like everybody feels the same as me! I feel like I'm part of the team! I should join in, I should- nah too much work...also I don't want to draw attention to myself. But still, you go guys yay!!! I'm cheering for you on the inside! For sure! 

.......................

Their still cheering? Wow, that guy looks like he's going to cry...I guess courage doesn't work with allies or something...but than again, I guess anyone in his position would feel like crying. Like a lot. Well, back to sleep.......
