Kellen Woods grew up never knowing a normal world. By the time he could walk, his mother and father had already sealed several serious gates that threatened the safety of his hometown. By the time his sister was born, they were famous worldwide. 

So the world held their breath for when Kellen and his sister came of age, waiting to see what kind of power they would awaken. 

His sister was just like his mom, same power, same class, while Kellen, woke up one day to find out what it meant to be special in a family the world watched. But in the worst way. 

Awakening weaker then your powerful parents wasn’t unheard of, but when your younger sister awakened at the same class as your parent, anyone would feel inferior. And Kellen, never one to ask for hand outs, left the comfort and safety of his hometown to become better than the weak brat everyone thought he was. 

Kellen went to the front lines, to where the gates normally broke out. From there, Kellen worked hard, and then worked some more until no one could doubt that he was good at his job. He got so good that even with his lower class, people would still hire him to help. But Kellen never took it to heart. He had learned a valuable lesson on the front lines. Classification only meant shit if you walked back out of the gate. Otherwise, shut your mouth and listen to those with more experience. They determined who made it out alive or not.

But Kellen was tired now. He had gotten everything out of his system, and the fast paced life on the front lines didn’t suit him anymore. Now, he wanted to go home, buy a house, maybe find a nice man to settle down with, and live a normal life. 

All the while, the yellow eyes he’d met on the front lines haunted him, no matter how much he tried to forget about them. 

Especially since the Esper they were attached to refused to let him go.

(BL) Hunting The Field Guide

<p>Kellen led the way out of the elevator, shaking his head at Brent's antics. They hadn't even had lunch yet, and he already felt exhausted. Brent had his head on a swivel as they moved down the hallway, but because Kellen was leading, he couldn't notice the trepidation on his face as Kellen continued to lead him down a white hallway with locked doors. When Kellen finally paused to open the door to the field department, he relaxed. He even smiled as he saw that there were people in this room, and the scientists inside perked up at the sight of two Guides, but grew nervous at the sight of a new person. </p>

<p>"Good morning Kellen, Lieutenant Casper! Who's the new friend?" Maeve's voice carried over the room and Kellen heard Brent gulp beside him. Kellen reached over and smacked his shoulder, warning him to behave. </p>
