Chapter 1: Madara Branwen
Remnant, a world filled with airships, gadgets, high-tech weaponry, and a natural resource called Dust, known as Nature's Wrath. A world where two 'intelligent' races inhabit this world, the humans and the faunus.
Both intelligent forms of live were both very similar except for appearance. The biggest difference was animal traits on faunus. Cat ears, dog tails, the traits were different for different faunus.
With two intelligent forms of life, you would expect them to coexist due to a larger threat in the world.
Grimm.
Soulless creatures that just want to destroy everything man has created and both humans and faunus themselves.
However despite this threat of a seemingly endless wave of dangerous creatures that resembled animals and varied in sizes, drawn in by negative emotions, the so called 'intelligent' races fought each other.
But alas, despite the fighting of the three most dangerous threats, life seemed to continue on.
But what does remnant truly mean? A surviving trace, leftovers of something bigger.
What were they remnants of? Gods who abandoned the world after the creation of life, the Grimm and humanity?
No one truly knows yet none can seem to agree with each other, and then disagreement slowly turns into conflict.
This world was no where near perfect, it wasn't a paradise…yet, it wasn't hell either.
Not one thing nor the other, not black nor white. Simply just in between, grey.
Small insignificant remnants of life on an abandoned planet created by the same gods that created them, humans and faunus. Killing and stealing from each other, ruling over one another simply because they're different.
A higher being would call them disgusting.
A lesser being would be amazed by them.
Peace was a sought after thing by many. However, peace never lasted long.
It was a truly flawed world.
Pain, pain was the only thing that a woman named Raven could feel. There was only one thought on her mind and that was getting the human being out of her…or rather two human beings out of her.
Raven Branwen was currently giving birth to twins.
She had long black hair with red highlights, a pale white complexion, and she had a pair of alluring yet deadly red eyes.
She was glad that she wasn't giving birth during a Grimm attack. She kept pushing hoping that one of the twins would hurry the hell up and get out.
As she was pushing she kept crushing the hand of her significant other, Taiyang Xiao Long, the bastard who got her like this.
Taiyang is a man with blond hair that has two small strands sticking out from the top and blue eyes. His facial hair consists of a soul patch and a small stubble along his jawline. On his right arm is a tattoo similar to a heart.
He was wearing brown cargo shorts with a dark brown belt, black shoes, a red bandana on his left arm, and a brown leather vest over a tan dress shirt with the right sleeve cut off. For armour, he wears a metal spaulder, leather vambrace, and a brown fingerless glove, all on his right arm.
"I see the head." The doctor said as she kept encouraging the mother to push, and before she knew it, even if it felt like hours, she gave birth to his first child.
"A health boy." The doctor said before handing the child to the nurse.
"You're doing good honey." Taiyang smiled weakly, trying to ignore the pain in his hand.
Raven glared at him before crushing his hand. If she was going through this unbearable pain, she was going to give him pain.
That's when she gave birth to her second child.
Finally…now she could rest as her child cried after being brought into the world.
Wait child? What of her other child?
She then listened closely to the doctor and the nurse.
"I don't know why he isn't crying…wait, doctor."
"What is it?"
"His…his semblance…it's activated!"
"What?" the doctor walked over to the newborn.
Raven couldn't hear the rest of their conversation but saw Taiyang hold her second child, the younger of the two as he was standing with the doctor before walking back with the doctor in tow.
"It's a girl." Taiyang said as he held his daughter.
"…What about-"
"Your son is fine." The doctor said holding the older twin. "However, it seems that he activated his semblance right when he was born."
Raven found herself holding the twins.
Heh, twins…
She was a twin and now she had twins.
"We'll have to keep your son here for a bit longer than usual." The doctor apologizes as she bowed slightly. "Just to make sure he'll be fine after the activation of his semblance and unlock of aura."
"That is after you name them of course." She added.
The two began thinking of names. They agreed that Taiyang would name the girl and that Raven herself would name the boy.
"How about Yang? Yang Xiao Long, I think it fits." Taiyang said as he smiled down at the daughter in his arms.
Raven however looked down at her son. "He was born with his aura unlocked and with his semblance activated?" she didn't think that was possible. She wondered how much aura he was born with and why the semblance activated…or was it due to the side of his aura that caused it…
She watched as her son opened his eyes at her for the first time…and they looked just like hers.
Red, the same shade of red as her eyes, but there was one difference between their eyes, in his red irises where three tomoes surrounding his pupils, three in each eye.
Was this his semblance? A semblance connected with his eyes?
"Madara." She said aloud. "Madara Branwen."
She looked at her son, Madara before she had to get some rest.
Outside of the hospital rooms, two figures where sitting on chairs patiently waiting.
The first was a woman with a pale complexion, black and red hair and silver eyes. She was wearing a grey blouse, a grey waist cincher with grey lacing and a grey skirt. The most notable thing she was wearing was a white hooded cloak.
This was Summer Rose.
The second person was a man with greying black, spiky hair, red eyes, and slight stubble along his jawline. With a red, tattered cloak, he wore a grey dress shirt with a long tail, black dress pants, and black dress shoes. He was also wearing a ring on his right index finger, two other rings on his right fourth finger, and a necklace with a crooked cross-shaped pendant.
This was Qrow Branwen, Raven's twin brother.
The two sat in silence as they patiently waited for any news from Taiyang. Qrow looked up as he saw Taiyang walk out with a smile.
"Tai!" both Qrow and Summer stood up as the now father of two walked over and began to talk.
"How did it go? Is every okay? What are their names?" Summer asked nearly up in Taiyang's face as Qrow held her somewhat back.
"No complications…right?" the male twin asked.
"No complications." Tai said. "However…"
"What? What Tai?"
"Nothings wrong." Tai held up his hands as the two seemed to lean more closely in. "First I have to tell you the names. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Either." Qrow shrugged.
"Well, the youngest is a girl named Yang."
"Yang Xiao Long, just your name without the Tai."
"It sounds like you named the girl, so Raven must have named the boy."
Taiyang rolled his eyes at the two as he directed them to follow him to meet the children. "The oldest is a boy. His name is Madara."
"Madara Xiao Long. Well at least Raven had a bit more originality." Qrow smirked.
"Actually his name is Madara Branwen."
Qrow just scratched the back of his head. "Yeah…that sounds like Raven…" he muttered. "I do admit though, Madara Xiao Long rolls off the tongue better than Madara Branwen, but it still works."
"Wasn't there something you were going to tell us?" Summer asked as they came to the room where Raven and the babies were.
"Madara…when he was born, his semblance was activated."
"Wha-"
Taiyang quickly silenced the two. "Quiet. Babies remember."
"S-Sorry…" the two apologized.
"Apparently his semblance is something to do with his eyes. We don't know exactly what it will do, but it deactivated when he went to sleep."
"Hmm…" Qrow rubbed his chin. "To activate his semblance right when he was born…he must have some aura to do so. Wonder how it unlocked."
"We're here." Taiyang opened the door in front of them.
The trio entered the room where a tired Raven was holding the twins. She had a little bit of rest, but hopefully now she could get some more rest.
Raven and Qrow immediately locked eyes. "Shut up Qrow." She said before Summer came over to see both Yang and Madara before leaning in and began to whisper.
"Hey, Rave." Summer whispered as Raven just looked at her. "Does…does it really hurt?"
Raven just gave Summer a blank stare. "I-I'll take that as a yes." Summer slowly leaned back.
"Do you want to hold them?" Tai asked. "You guys are their godparents after all…and I guess uncle too."
"Can we? I want to hold them."
"Seems like someone's eager." Qrow said.
"Come on, you know you want to hold them too."
"Sum, here's Yang. Be careful."
"Of course I'm going to be careful." Sum pouted.
Qrow watched as Summer held Yang before he turned his head slightly and saw Taiyang standing there with Madara.
"…What are you doing?"
"Come on. You know you want to hold him."
"Listen Tai. I'm not good with kids."
"Just do it."
"…Fine." Qrow gave up and took the child. "…I just hope my semblance doesn't so anything…"
"It'll be fine Qrow."
"Yeah…whatever you say."
Qrow looked down at the newborn in his arms before the baby yawned. "Rough day huh?" he gave Madara a small smile.
He could get used to this…the whole uncle thing. Yeah, he'll be the cool uncle.
Soon they had to leave as Raven and the twins had to stay a bit longer.
Raven opened her red eyes in the dark as she took in what had happened with Madara's birth.
His semblance was activated for the first time, which means his aura was unlocked.
Aura, the manifestation of the soul which everyone has except for the Grimm…
Semblance, the manifestation of one's innate and personal power, usually unique to the individual unless it was passed down from their parents…
Madara…how powerful was his aura to awaken his semblance at birth?
She closed her eyes and got back to rest. She would have to think about this later.
It was late enough as it was.
When Raven was able to leave the hospital with both children, she and Taiyang had learnt that Madara had quite the amount of aura and it would only grow bigger.
The doctors did confirm that it was to do with his semblance. What power did those eyes hold?
There was much potential in Madara. Potential that has yet to be tapped into.
It would be a wonder to see how powerful Madara would become and see how his semblance works with his still growing aura.
It had been a month since the twin's birth as Raven stood above the crib that held both siblings.
They were both very close to each other with Yang clinging to Madara in her sleep. However Madara was looking at his sister before Raven started to walk away.
She came to a stop before walking back to the crib and when she looked back it, Madara turned his head back to her with a happy smile…and the second time his semblance was activated.
…
Raven made a choice, then and there. She picked up Madara and started to walk away from the crib and into a portal.
She had spent enough time here. It was time to return to the tribe.
Returning with potential to become something greater, something no one would imagine to become in the future.
