Hey, welcome to the reboot of my story Watchdog of Remnant. Sorry it took so long, I basically wrote three different starting points until one finally stuck out to me. And the writer's block was unreal for me but I feel that I can make something out of this. I don't want to say too much about it right now, I just hope that you guys enjoy reading it as I did writing it. Let me know what you think. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY or the Dark Souls series.
The trees in the forests whispered to one another as the wind blew through their leaves. The sun gave a warm goodbye as it slowly set giving the sky different shades of red and orange. All seems peaceful at times like this but the war against creatures of darkness forever goes on. That's what the hunters and huntresses at Beacon Academy train for, to defeat the vile creature of Grimm and protect the people they threaten. Little did the people of the world of Remnant know that a new threat will soon arise. However, an unkindled champion, an enemy to the Abyss will follow the evil and try to stop it in its tracks.
The four young girls where exhausted from the training section they had just had. They fought a two dozen pack of the black wolf like creatures.
"Finally," the girl in a red hood huffed for air to enter her lungs, " that's the last of the Beowolves."
A long blond hair girl walked up to the cloaked huntress, "Way...to go...Ruby." she congratulated, patting her on the back.
The cloaked huntress, Ruby sat up and inhaled before she turned to her team, "Okay, I think we can head back now. Weiss can you walk?" she asked a girl with white hair. She looked at Ruby hunched over and gave her a nod with a thumbs up.
"Yang," a girl with long black hair asked the blond, "how's your arm?"
Yang looked at her arm. She had a small scratch when one of the Beowolves caught her off guard. She made the beast regret immediately. "It's fine Blake. It should be healed anytime soon, Thanks for asking."
"Okay, I'm ready to go home and nap." Weiss said finally catching her breath.
"Then let's get going." Ruby ordered as she put her beloved Crescent Rose away and latched it on her back.
The made their way back to the airship landing zone while talking about what they did in the training session. Some praising here, some criticism there but it was to help them become better teammates. Sure no one is perfect but that's why they try to better themselves, to help patch the holes that can make them whole. Ruby and Yang started talking about what they had planned for the weekend, while Blake and Weiss talked about the classes and assignments they had to turn in a certain time frame.
They were almost to the landing zone when they heard a chime of some sort and felt a sudden surge flow through there body; making them freeze in place. They looked at each other with looks of worry and concern.
"Did you guys hear that?" Ruby asked her team as held her arms close to her chest.
"Yeah." the other three said simultaneously.
"What do you think that was?" Blake asked as she looked around.
"I don't know but it feels...weird." Yang said as she scratched her arm.
"Let's just keep moving," Weiss suggested looking at the ground in thought, "we're almost there."
The all agreed and began to move. They were stopped however, as fog rolled in and began to block their way.
"Where did this fog come from?" Weiss asked with slight discomfort.
"It's not even the right kind of weather for this to happen." Blake added as she franticly looked around.
Weiss walked up to the fog that blocked her path and tried to walk through it. She pushed, shoved and even poked at it with her rapier; but to no avail. It was like she was hitting a stone wall. She was baffled, dumbfounded at the fact that they were being blocked by a wall of fog.
"What's going..." Yang yelled but was hushed by Blake.
Blake looked behind her, "Do you hear that?" she asked, "It sounds like metal clanking and it's coming this way." She drew her weapon ready to fight off what ever threatened them. The other soon followed her lead and wait for what ever was lurking in behind them to show itself.
The metallic march grew louder and louder as they drew close to the frightened four. Soon the unknown showed itself. In front of the four stood three beings in dark, bone armor and wore some type of skull mask that was shrouded by a long black vale. They carried a wide broad sword with black steel. The sight of these beings shocked them, they didn't look human nor were they Grimm.
"Wha...wha..." Weiss struggled to get the words out.
The unknown three stopped and looked at the frightened four. The four felt the beings peering into their souls. They couldn't move, couldn't speak. They sat their and looked at the horror in front of them, it was almost like something out a movie. The then three screeched an inhuman battle cry and began to charge the young girls swords drawn and ready to strike.
"They're coming for us!" Ruby pointed out as he took out Crescent Rose, the others following her lead drawing their weapons and ready to fight.
The creatures grew closer, their armor beating off the ground. Then, a sudden heat wave stopped their advance and made both the three and the girls flinch, guarding themselves. Fire began to make a circle with strange transcripts within. The figure of a person began to ascend from with in the circle as particles of ash fell from his body. The dark three hissed as they backed up from the figure. The girls took notice of their action; whoever was rising from this circle was someone they feared.
Before them, stood a man in a long, worn and tattered hooded coat with a very large sword strapped to his back. His head still lowered as he reached for his weapon and slowly drew it along with an odd looking dagger. He pointed the bladed out toward the three and brought his arm with the dagger over his arm that held the sword. The creatures snarled and moved towards the stranger in a mad dash.
The stranger crouched low and moved his sword outwards to his right and sat their ready to fight. The girl looked franticly at the one before them and the three charging in. The man then took off towards the three leaping as he got close and dug his dagger in the ground hitting one of them. Using his dagger as an anchor he used his momentum to swing his sword in a one-eighty strike. The force of the strike caused two of the dark soldiers to get knocked back a few feet, hitting the ground as the other dodged the attack.
The one that dodged came at the man swinging its sword. He sidestepped and blocked its strikes with ease before deflecting a strike with the dagger. He then grabbed it by the shoulder and thrust his great sword in its chest. The stranger then violently slashed his blade out of its body leaving a massive gash. Turning to the other two soldiers he put his dagger a way, arched his hand back, summoned a giant ball of fire and threw it. The fireball struck and staggered them back, they shook off the pain from the heat and continued their advance.
The man ran at them dragging his sword, tossing dirt in the air. As soon as they were close he swung up wards launching one in the air. The other went to strike but was stopped by a sudden surge of fire that emitted from his hand. The one that was airborne finally hit the ground and rolled out of harms way as the hooded man brought the sword down. The creature stood up and swung its sword. With a swift motion of his dagger, the man knocked the sword away leaving the assailant wide open. The man reared his great sword and struck twice knocking it to the ground. It couldn't move, no chance of escape as he brought his sword down, chopping it in half.
"From the Abyss thee crawled out, to the Abyss thou shall return." he spoke softly.
"Look out!" Ruby shouted.
The man turned around to face the last dark one who had its left hand raised emitting a purple light. It grabbed his shoulder and slowly pushed him to the ground. The man gasped in pain as he felt his life being drained from his body. As it held him down draining him, it placed its sword over his heart. He couldn't fight it off this time, he grew weak and faint.
In the next moment it was knocked away from his body. He looked up to see a girl in white armed with a rapier.
Ruby and the other ran to the Weiss and the downed man. Ruby knelt down near him.
"Hey! You okay?" Ruby asked. The man let out only weak groan as his head dropped back down to the ground.
Ruby shot her head up as she heard the monster's raspy screech. It took off running at them but was meet by a series of fireballs launched from Yang's gauntlets. It staggered in a spin as Blake appeared behind it and unleashed a storm of steel at the creature. Ruby launched herself by shooting a round from her weapon, flying at the monster at a high speed. She swiped as flew past it and grounded to a halt. The creature fell as its upper and lower halves separated from each other.
Ruby and Blake ran up to the man who was reaching for something in his pouch. He pulled out a small orange glowing flask. He raised it up to his helmet in attempt to drink but his hand fell back down. His vision began to fade as he closed his eyes and passed out. The last thing he saw was the silhouette of the four young girls above him.
Visions of war and fire flashed in his mind. He could only see glimpse of a kingdom under siege by armies of soldiers and monsters. The soldiers had pale skin and pitch black sockets where their eyes should be. Images of giants crushing walls and the men that tried to defend them and giant winged beasts that flew in the ignited sky breathing flames from their mouths. Then the image of a man, sitting on a throne made of stone appeared. The man wore a silver mask and dark clothing. He had a woman in a dark dress standing next to his throne. The man on the throne reached for his mask and began to remove it.
He began to hear a high pitched sound, it was steady like a heartbeat. His eyes opened slowly, he was met with a bright light that shined down. He sat up and looked around seeing he was surrounded by white walls with a single door.
His head started to ached and he placed his hand on his forehead. He noticed a small device that was strapped to his finger. Also noticed he was not wearing his armor, nor could he find his other equipment as he scanned the room.
"My medallion!" he shouted in a whisper as he grasped for his neck. He snapped his attention to the door as he heard it click open.
A woman walked in, dressed in an white gown and had a red cross above her heart. She was middle aged, with bleach-white hair put up in a bun. She carried a flat board under her arm and a silver tray in both hands.
"Ah, good, you're awake." she spoke as she closed the door and walked over to him. "How are you feeling?"
"Where am I?" he asked "Am I a prisoner?"
"No my dear, not a prisoner but at the hospital." she answered as put the silver tray on the table next to his bed and checked the monitor to the side of his bed. She jotted down the info down on her clipboard an turned to the man, "Now, can you tell me your name?"
"Kayne." he said hesitantly, "My name is Kayne."
She smiled. "Well then Kayne, I'm nurse Silverman but you can call me Emma." Kayne's eyes went wide for a moment as if the name rang a bell. The nurse saw this but shrugged it off for the time being. "Do you remember anything before you passed out?"
Kayne thought for a moment looking down at the blanket that covered him. He saw flashes of the fight before. "I remember...fighting the vile creatures of the Abyss. I killed two of them, then the third grasped me and drained me of my life. Then four figures standing over me as I lost sight. Now, I awake here.". He looked back up to his caretaker who was writing down once more on her board.
"Good, that pretty much matches up what the young ladies told me."
"Who?"
"A team of huntresses brought you here after you didn't respond to them. I believe you them thanks." she gave him a playful smile. Emma reached for the table that held the tray and extended it over Kayne. "Here you go, time to eat. Once you're done eating there is someone here who would like to speak to you."
Kayne nodded and looked down at the tray before him. The tray contained two pieces of meat, a pile of green vegetation and a tiny mountain of white fluff. He poked at the fluff with the plastic fork provided. He then grabbed the cup on the tray to see crystal clear water with in it.
"Is something wrong dear?" she question, watching him examine the meal as if it was a foreign object.
Kayne shook his head, "No it's just,...I do not recall the last time I have had a proper meal, nor the last time I needed to eat."
Emma raised an eyebrow at the comment, "How, long were out in the wilderness?"
"Almost my entire life."
"Well, you can leave that in the past now. For now, eat up young man. I'll be back in a little while." she turned to the door and walked out.
Kayne raised an eyebrow, 'Young man?' he questioned in his thoughts. He shrugged the what she had just said and looked down at his tray. He stared at the food for a moment before digging in. Stabbing a piece of meat with his plastic fork he slowly put in his mouth and began to chew. His face lit up in ecstasy, he had never had anything that tasted this delightful. Though he never thought it necessary, it was pleasing to taste something that was not tainted. He grabbed the cup of water and gulped nearly all of it. The coolness and purity of the water soothed him as it ran down his throat.
Kayne lied back with bliss on his face after finishing his meal. He whipped his face of any leftover he had left behind and pushed the table back to the side of his bed. The door opened and Emma walked in.
The nurse gave him a warming smile, "Did you enjoy the meal?" she asked as she picked up the tray.
"Yes, it was delightful." he responded.
"That's a surprise, not many people like the food the hospital provides. Not even us in the staff." she gave out a chuckle. "I'm glad that you enjoyed it however." She began to walk towards the door with the empty tray in hand. She then stopped at the doorway and looked at Kayne, "Now, I will be right back with the man who wants to speak to you. I won't be long."
Kayne pondered at who it could be that wanted to speak with him. He hadn't been where ever he was for long. He knew no one of this land, he doesn't even know the names of the four that were observing his fight.
Ten minutes have gone by and the door opened with Emma walking in. Behind her followed two more. A man with gray hair and in a black suit; he wield a cane in one hand and a white mug in the other. The other was a woman with blond hair, she wore a glasses and a white blouse. The man sat in a chair that he pulled up to the foot of Kayne's bed.
"Will there be anything I can get for you professor?" she asked the man her hands cupped together.
"No thank you." the man said waving his hand in a short quick motion.
"And you?" she asked the woman standing behind the man in the chair.
"No, I'm quite alright." she said shaking her head. With that Emma made her way out of the room.
The man sat in the chair, sipping his mug as he and the woman stared down Kayne. Kayne shifted his eyes from the man to something in the room then back to the man. He began to feel a bit uneasy.
"First," the man started, "I suppose I should thank you for helping my students in the forest yesterday. Who knows what could have happened." Kayne said not a word, only watched and examined the two in front of him. "Do you know who I am?" Kayne shook his head, "I am Professor Ozpin, headmaster at Beacon Academy."
"What does thou want from me?" Kayne asked sternly.
"Tell me, do you have a name?"
"My name is Kayne."
"Well then Mister Kayne, can you explain to me how you are able to do this?" he held his hand out point to the screen that the woman held in her hand. It showed the events of Kayne's fight. It showed him rising from the ground in fire and ash. It then showed him summoning fire from his hand. It froze on the scene of him sending a surge of fire at one of the attackers. "Is this your semblance?"
Kayne shook his head, not knowing what he was talking about, "What, thou has never seen a pyromancer before?" he asked.
"Pyromancer?" Ozpin questioned, "Are you the only one that knows this art?"
"No, anyone with half a mind can learn pyromancy." Kayne lifted his hand and it went in a small blaze. The woman narrowed her eyes, raising her guard with her hand on her weapon. Ozpin sat appearing to be unfazed as he stared at the flaming hand. In the blink of an eye, the fire was extinguished and Kayne laid his hand back down.
"Does this 'pyromancy' allow you to transport yourself from place to place?"
"No, why are thee so intrigued by my magic?" Kayne questioned with annoyance.
"We had an incident recently and someone important had their power stolen from them. They nearly died from the attack. I just want to make sure you didn't obtain it from them."
"I am no thief. My power is my own." Kayne responded as he put his hand over his heart.
"Where did you learn this trade?" he asked as he took another sip from his mug.
"My master Cornyx of the Great Swamp."
"Great Swamp? Are you from Mistral then."
Kayne shook his head once more, "No, I come from Farron's Keep."
Ozpin raised a brow, "What kingdom then is that located?"
"The kingdom of Lothric."
Ozpin looked at the woman behind him, asking her in a silent gaze if she had any idea what Kayne was talking about. "I don't believe that I have ever heard of this kingdom. Could you please tell me about it?"
"Ozpin," the woman spoke, " Can I have a word with you for a moment?"
"Of course, Glynda." Ozpin stood up from his chair and the two walked off to the other side of the room.
They talked in a hushed tone but Kayne could hear what they were saying. "Do you really believe that this boy is from a kingdom that apparently doesn't exists?"
'Boy?' Kayne repeated in his head. He tuned back into their discussion.
"Glynda," he began, "you saw how he had risen from the ground and fought a threat that is not of Remnant." Glynda shifted her eyes in thought and was about to speak when Ozpin raised his hand causing her to stop. "Let's just ask him a few more questions, then we make our judgment." She nodded and they made their way back. "I apologies for that please, go on."
Kayne gave nod and began his tale. He told of Ozpin the kingdom he came from and how it feel to darkness. He told him about the undead that roamed the land and how they had hollowed. He explained that he was an unkindled and his duty was to ensure that the fire stayed a light to keep the darkness away. However, Kayne brought up the fact that he abandoned his duty to the flame and continued on a war against the darkness of the Abyss for a legion of undead. They were respected and known as the Abyss Watchers who have become one of the five Lords of Cinder. So, Kayne became a Watchdog of Farron to ensure they slept searingly and fought trespassers and hunted the creatures of the Abyss.
"Why did you abandon the fire for this legion?" Ozpin asked as he caressed the mug in his hands.
"I...I felt as if I owed them service for doing what they have done." Ozpin could see that Kayne was hiding something more to the reason.
"The things that were about to attack my students, are they products of this Abyss?"
"Yes, the Darkwraiths, the bane of my existence." Kayne clenched his fist in anger at the mention of their name. "They would constantly attempt to raid the resting place of the Abyss Watchers. They show no mercy, no remorse to those who are not amongst their ranks."
"Do you know why they came here?" Ozpin asked with concern.
"They were a scouting party."
"A scouting party?" the woman finally spoke out. "Scouting for what?"
Kayne adjusted his weight, "There is a war coming to your world." Ozpin's and the woman's eyes went wide, "I followed them here to stop their advances."
"Why would they come here?" Ozpin questioned.
"The lord of my world, has grown board and wishes to find new challenges. Those Darkwraiths were just the begging and soon, his undead armies will follow. I do not know when he will strike or how but I will be here when he does."
"How much do you know of this lord?"
Kayne's fists tightened more and he gritted his teeth, "I know to much of him. I thought he was a friend but he only betrayed me in the end. He asked me to join his quest to link the flame, asked to help him keep the darkness from completely consuming the kingdom. He lied, became the Lord of Hollows and gave me no choice to revolt. I retreated and asked the help of other covenants that did good by others. They excepted to my relief, we have been fighting them for half a year now."
"Why did you come alone then?" the woman questioned, "And how did you get here?"
"I could handle myself besides they need to protect those threatened by the undead hollows and monsters of the Abyss."
"How could they beat a force that could never truly die, like the undead?"
"The undead are hollowed so once they die they are dead permanently. Never to rise from a bonfire. As to how I got here, a friend of mine is a mage and she sent me here at my request."
"Who then fights this lord's army?"
"My covenant: the Watchdogs of Farron; the Warriors of Sunlight; the Blues Sentinels and the Blade of the Darkmoon." Kayne grinned at the thought of his army, "We are all willing to die to stop this Age of Dark."
Ozpin sat in his chair and thought for a moment, taking in every thing he had just heard from this stranger from another dimension. "I have one last question for you." Kayne looked up Ozpin with curiosity, "How would you like to join my school of warriors?"
"What!?" Glynda shouted in surprise.
"Beg pardon?" Kayne asked confused.
"Oz, are you sure this is a wise decision. Just because he told you some of his past doesn't mean you know him enough to trust him." Kayne could tell that she did not fully trust him from the start but why should he? He didn't know anything about them either.
"Yes, I am sure. He has the same intent as our hunters and huntresses at the school." he gave Glynda a reassuring smile. "Besides, he has no way of getting back right?" Kayne nodded, "And it would be exhausting fight a war on his own. We could provide him with skills he has not obtained yet and he could do the same for us. He could use our help and we could use his." He turned back to Kayne, "So, what is your answer?"
Kayne pondered for a moment. Ozpin had a point, he had no way back, no were to go and had little knowledge of this world known as Remnant. "Yes, I accept your services and give thee mine as well."
Ozpin gave a nod of appreciation, "Very well, we will move all your equipment to dorm for you and have clothes brought here by the nurse." Ozpin and Glynda made their way to the door. Ozpin reached for the handle and stopped. "We will wait for you on the roof and will have the nurse escort you to use once you've changed. Don't take to long young man."
"Why do thee keep calling me 'young man'?" Kayne questioned.
Ozpin had a confused look on his face, "How do you mean?"
"I may not be as old as thee but I have thirty years on my life."
Ozpin walked back over to the bed, "Well, you look like your at least sixteen or seventeen to me." he answered as he picked up a mirror on a table and showed held it in front of Kayne.
Kayne's heart nearly stopped as gazed into the mirror. He did look younger, much younger. He still had the scar that ran down his right eye. His shoulder length black hair was still the same and his eyes still as silver as always. Those were the only features that had not changed. Now that he thought about it his voice did sound a little off its usual pitch.
'Damnit Marie,' he cursed in his thoughts, 'what did you do to me?'
Ozpin put the mirror back a made his way back, "Remember, don't take to long. Young man." he said giving Kayne a teasing smile. Glynda just glared at Kayne causing him to look away.
Ten minutes later, Emma walked in the room with clothes in her hands. "Here you go dear, a delivery from Ozpin." she placed the clothes at the foot of his bed. Kayne examined the clothes; he had a white tee-shirt, black cargo pants with a belt, a black zip-up hoody, a pair of boxers and a pair of sneaker.
The artier before him was strange and foreign, appearing to offer him no protection at all. He shrugged it off and turned to Emma, "Thank you, I shall change immediately."
"Okay, I will be right out side if you need me and once your done I will take you to Ozpin." she left the room and closed the door behind her.
Kayne looked back at the clothes, "Looks simple enough." he said as he began to change.
Nearly another ten minutes went by before he walked out of his room. Emma gave him a smile as she examined Kayne. "My, you look fetching dear."
Kayne's face tinted a light red from the comment, "Th-thank you."
"Now, follow me, let's not keep them waiting."
Kayne nodded and followed behind the nurse. He couldn't help but look at how advanced they were compared to his kingdom. They could produce light with out torches and images of other people were projected on monitors that hung from the walls. They reached an elevator and it was nothing he had ever ridden on. Instead of a single lever it illuminated buttons with markings for each floor.
Emma pushed the top button and the doors closed on their own. The elevator jerked violently and Kayne grasped the railings around him as it made him feel a little uneasy. Emma looked at him with an eyebrow raised, "Is something the matter dear?"
Kayne shook his head hesitantly, "No, tis just not very used to this is all."
The elevator came to a stop, the doors opened as a ray of sun light flooded the small area. Kayne tried to block it from his eyes to see what was in front of him. He walked out with Emma guiding him from behind. As his vision cleared he was met with a breath taking sight. He saw buildings that towered the sky were the sun was setting and giant metal flying machines that soar like the dragons in Lothric. He saw Ozpin and Glynda stand in side a metal machine that looked like the ones in the sky.
"Glad you could make it." Ozpin said as he walked out to meet Kayne. "Climb aboard and find a seat. This Bullhead will take us back to Beacon."
"Where is my equipment?" Kayne asked.
"I have already sent them to Beacon, to your new living quarters. Now, let's get going." Kayne nodded and climbed aboard the Bullhead.
It ascended into the sky and and Kayne began to feel a little, queasy. He held on for dear life as he grew more uncomfortable on this flying contraption. With every bit of turbulence they hit he gripped on to his seat tighter and tighter, piratical digging his nails into the cushion of his seat.
The Bullhead finally made it to Beacon and began its descend. Ozpin and Glynda walked of first and turned to face Kayne who was lagging behind. He stumbled out of the Bullhead guarding his stomach and dropping to his knees. He took in deep, long breaths of air before standing back up.
"Are you okay?" Glynda asked him with narrowed eyes.
"Man was never meant to fly. If we were, we would be born birds or dragons."
"Can you walk at least?" Ozpin poked at him. Kayne nodded, "Good, let us continue." As soon as they cleared the Bullhead, it took off back towards the sky.
They made their way to the dorm that Kayne would be living in for know. As they walked Kayne couldn't help but yet again admire the architecture of the building. The high walls and archways reminded him of the Cathedral of the Deep. The tower in the center of the grounds almost resembled the one the Old Wolf of Farron would rest in. He saw the high number of young students that went here to learn how to fight the darkness that threatened their land. However, it was strange that some of the students looked human but had animal traits from tails on their backs and ears on their head.
'I must be going mad.' Kayne thought to himself as he shook his head trying to clear it.
Moments later they made it to the dorm.
"This your new living space." Glynda said.
Glynda opened the door and showed Kayne inside to his new quarters. Kayne couldn't help but smile at the sight. It was warming that he didn't have to sleep outside, with the threat of death lingering over him. He saw a single bed in the corner of the room. He walked towards it and leaped on it, the softness of it was mesmerizing. He never had slept on something so comfortable.
"Were is my equipment?" he asked trying to hide his excitement.
"Over there in that crate." Ozpin pointed, with his cane, to a large gray crate that stood up against the wall on the other side of the room.
Kayne made his way over and opened it. He saw his great sword and pulled it out, examining it looking for any damage that was not done to it. He saw the dagger that went with it next to his throwing knives. His armor appeared to have not been changed in any way. On the chest of the armor was a medallion of a wolf on it. He quickly reached for it and put it around his neck. Next, he saw his rings on a small chain he picked them up and put them on his fingers.
One ring was a golden ring that had thin engravings around it, making it transparent. The next one had an image of a black wolf. On his other hand was a silver ring that had the making of a cat. The last one was decorated with green gems around the circle part of the ring.
The last thing he saw was the orange and blue glows of his flasks. "Oh, thank the Old Wolf." he praised as he picked up the flasks.
"I'm curious," Ozpin started, " what exactly are those?"
Kayne held up the orange one first, "This one is my life line. It heals my wounds in moments notice. This one," he held up the blue one, "restores my magic if I desperately need it."
Ozpin nodded trying to figure out how that would work. Glynda how ever was still not buying whatever Kayne was selling.
"Well once you are situated get some rest. Your initiation starts tomorrow." Ozpin advised
"My what?" Kayne questioned.
"Your test to be officially accepted into my school. I will send Ms. Goodwitch here to bring you to were you need to be. Have a good night ." Ozpin said as he left the room and Glynda followed.
"Thank you," Kayne responded, "and may the flame guide your way."
After that the door closed and Kayne looked over his armor and equipment before he went off to bed. He lied down on the bed thinking about what he would be doing tomorrow. He then began to think about how the others in Lothric were holding up.
"Please be safe my friends." he whispered, "His travels here are inevitable." With that Kayne forgot to turn the light of and searched for a way to extinguished it. He touched the bulb but was met with hot glass. He blew on it thinking it would work but to no avail. He leaned up against the wall thinking on how to turn it off. He scratched his head in thought not knowing what to do. He then dropped his arm down hit a leaver that stuck out of the wall. It clicked as it went down and the light went off. Kayne flipped it back up and the light was back. Amused with it he flipped it repeatedly. He stopped and put it back down and made his way back to the bed. He closed his eyes and fell asleep waiting for morning to come.
