Meet the Guardians

Life, Identity

While walking home from a basketball game with his friends, Phillip Li hears noises coming from the Olympics Center across from his house. A group of people are fighting each other and someone was laying closer to the fence, all bloodied. Phillip approaches the man, introduced as Nate, who ends up passing on a crystal to him and tells him to run. He runs straight home, only to have one of the people break in and threaten to hurt his family. With help from a group of people calling themselves the "Guardians", Phillip is able to stop them from causing anymore harm. The Guardians introduce themselves and offer to teach Phillip about the Essence Crystal that has now bonded to him. Phillip goes with them and this night is wiped from the memories of his family.
