My name is Henrii, and I was born without a last name. I am a Soul Reaper of squad 11. I had always thought highly of one place. Soul Society, an impressive home for all Soul Reapers. I loved it, the day was bright and brought joy to the faces of many. The night, however, was the best. I always found it calming and beautiful, so serene. I would always take walks through the night, through Soul Society. I saw guards, some members of my squad, and even the my captain walking with his lieutenant, Yachiru Kusajishi. She may look like a little girl, but as the lieutenant, she is incredibly powerful. Much more powerful than anything I could have ever hoped to be at the time.

I had only been on seven missions, but I was told I was doing well. I never believed it, I never held myself above others unless I knew for certain that I was stronger. Even then I didn't brag about my abilities, but I still got compliments. I actually made some friends while I was there. They were all from other squads, though. Many other Soul Reapers from my squad didn't socialize with Soul Reapers from other squads, but they didn't seem to mind me hanging out with Soul Reapers from different squads.

The first friend I made here was a girl named Makato Takenaka of squad 3. We were always arguing at first, but then we warmed up to each other. She has long, red hair. She has eyes that are the color of rust. She was always cute, loud, hyper, very funny, and always brave enough to speak her mind. After we met, we hung out a lot. She would always train with girls and I. Yeah, all of my friends are girls. You might think that it would be awesome to have, like, only four friends that happen to be girls. Well, you would be absolutely right.

The second friend I made was Chie Hashimoto of Squad 11, just like me. Apparently, she had been in the squad for twenty more years then me. We actually met over a drink of sake. I was hanging out with Makato and she literally fell unconscious on top of our table. I wasn't drunk at that point, unlike Makato, but we were able to help her to her room and she made friends with us the next morning while complaining over a bad hangover. Though, I think it was just because she smashed her head on the table. She is smart, loves reading, and loves adventure. Her hair is light brown and her eyes are a hazel color. When I had met the other two girls, she was the only one of us who was able to use her Shikai.

The next girl is Maki Akiyama of squad 6. She has long, dark brown hair and has light brown eyes. She is a peaceful girl who loves music, arts, the sunset, shy, and very intelligent. Just like Chie, we met over a drink of Sake. Only, it was much more violent. I accidentally bumped her and tried to apologize, but she just got made and punched me in the face. I was extremely drunk, so I just choked her out and left. When I found out what I had done, I had once again apologized, and this time it ended on friendly terms. We usually laugh about how we met if it is ever brought up.

Finally, there is Rika Nishimura of squad 8. She is a hard working, smart, independent woman. I met her on one of my missions and helped her finish off this giant Hollow. We ended up talking with one another over some tea in a garden that squad 8 had. It was very nice, and so was she. I never knew what it was like to relax in a garden. The captain didn't really let us hang around them. She was a very skilled fighter when we met, and she still is. To this day, I am happy I met her. She helped me through quite a few struggles.

I never said this earlier, but I am a quiet man. Skinny and lanky body, but quick. I have been noted on that. I was very strategic, according to Yachiru who called me "Skins" because I was so skinny. I never really cared, though. Everything was nice. I, however, was very aggressive. I wasn't to great at fighting, but my strategies made up for it, for the most part. That is why I went on so few missions. Though each Soul Reaper is basically allowed to go into the land of humans and send spirits to peace, and kill Hollows, I hardly got much of a chance to do any of it. I feel like I could have done so much better, but I know that it wasn't possible for me at the time. Despite Yachiru being nice to me, the captain wasn't. Obviously, he was a major jackass to those who didn't do to much. When I say that, I mean he will basically hate your guts if you don't go out and fight. It wasn't really my fault, though. I just didn't get to do much. All I was back then was something for comedic relief.

If there was on thing I could say about my life as a Soul Reaper so far that was actually amazing, it would be when I went to this mystical land called "Equestria". So wonderful, so peaceful, and yet, so dangerous. The girls and I barely lived through it. Now, that is why I'm telling you all this. I am here to tell you, and everyone else about the struggles that my friends and I went through in order to save this place. Not to mention our efforts to get home. This is my story, and this is how it starts....

Author's Note

Yeah, This will be a POV story following Henrii, mostly. I will try to make this better than "A Colt's Darkness", despite the fact that I plan on redoing most of the chapters that I feel were bad. I hope you like this first chapter!
