One day within the City of vale two paths would intertwine though a series of events that would combine many people that we with the two. This path would be filled with challenges, tragedy, love and heart break. So let's begin shall we.
All was well in the city of vale, the people treated the day like all the other days that had enjoyed in peace. Something was coming though the townspeople could not feel but something or someone was coming.
Chapter 1
Outside of the city in the trees stood a lone figure, dressed in all black. The only thing that was visible was his eyes. These eyes were not of any normal color that people knew of. They were the blood red eyes of the international assassin known only as the shadow king. Soon all the people of the vale would know of his presence. There were many stories that were passed through towns rumors some say true other deny them. The one thing not known to the people is how this assassin came to own the blood red eyes or even why he kills. All is soon to be revealed to a select few but they do not know it yet. The international organization known only as the darkness was hunting one of their own and they would not stop until he was dead.
In the city there was a group of people trying to get equality for the Faunus among them was Blake Belladonna. "Give the Faunus rights they are people too" shouted the group. As the people heard this chant they were drawn to the noise. When they saw what was going they started to boo and yell at the same group of protestors. Seeing this many of the group fled fearing for their lives. A few remained among them was Blake. Seeing this, the crowd got louder and larger seeing that they would not leave they began to grab things to throw at the small group. Seeing this, the rest ran but only Blake remained behind, the people showed no mercy to Blake and threw all they had at her. Blake braced for impact but she felt nothing. When she looked up a figure dressed in all black was standing there with two daggers drawn. "Who is this man" Blake wondered. The crowd now got a good look of the figure and there was nothing but silence. "SHIT, RUN EVERYONE RUN IT'S THE SHADOW KING, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES" yelled someone in the crowd. All at once the crowd screamed and tried to run but for some reason they could not run. They looked down at their feet and saw that their own shadows were holding them this created panic. Blake knew of the Shadow King and his work but she wondered why he appeared now. Then in a booming voice the Shadow King said "Everyone shut up now or I will shut you up myself." It became dead silent. The King continued "You people disgust me all of you gang up on a single girl that wants nothing more than to express her opinion and make it a reality." The crowd was shocked by this; an international assassin was defending a girl who wanted equal rights for the Faunus. It was like something out of a book. The Shadow King looked to Blake and asked "are you ok?" Blake nodded and was still in shock of this, she was being defended by a criminal one who had taken the lives of fifty men. "Good please follow me then" said the Shadow King who then turned to the crowd stating this "The shadows holding you will release you in half an hour until then you will stay there and if I see you trying to harm this girl again I will not hesitate to kill of you. Understood?" The crowd responded yes in an almost silent voice. Then the shadow king started walking towards the woods and Blake remembered that she was to follow him but for what purpose she wondered.
Once out of the town and in the woods the Shadow King turned to Blake and said "illusion release" and his form started to change. He still was dressed in black but now he wore a hoodie and jeans with a crimson red shirt poking out under the hoodie. His eyes remained the same though as if he could not change them. Sorry about the theatrics said the Shadow King call me Tony.
