This is my first fan-fiction ever and the first one about my OC "Mason Foxtail" and his adventure through Vale. I hope you guys like it and I'm always looking for ideas and reviews to help me make this story better. ^_^
Prologue:
In the world of Remnant the continent of Vytal they are the 4 kingdoms: Vacuo, Mistral, Atlas and the one our champion currently lives in, Vale. The humans and the faunus have been living here since they colonized it long ago but the humans see the faunus as unequal and treat them like trash. The faunus may be picked on but there are people picked on even more then them. People in the dangerous world not matter how they may be different humans and faunus could and can love each other. Human loving faunus and vice versa is extremely frowned upon but people say true love can withstand anything and this certain couple did. A faunus man working as a hunter with wolf like ears and silver hair married and eventually had a kid with a beautiful human woman with long brown like hair who was once a teacher. This couple loved each other and even had a house in the capital of the continent known as the "City of Vale" but the kingdom of Vale couldn't accept the fact of a faunus loving a human. Running from the pursuers the couple (with the wife already pregnant) were tired of running way so they retreated from the capital and escaped to the outskirts of the city hiding in the forest the two of them decided to start a new life where no one could hurt them or their soon to be child.
16 years later...
Chapter 1: The Story Begins
He opened his eyes to see the sun pierce his window and strike him in the eyes. He let out a large yawn before getting out of his bed. The mans room wasn't as small as it looks but it was large enough for one person to live comfortable. Around the room was a small bed with a desk beside it with a plain white colored lamp on top of it. On the other side of the room was a closet containing the mans clothing attire with a long mirror beside it with a top half of a mannequin on a stand wearing a plain black zipper sweater with some metal padding on the shoulders. The tired boy slowly but surely crawled out of his bed and by rubbing the dust from his eyes he made his way to his closet. Opening the closet he took off his sleep ware and grabbed some new boxers, dark blue jeans with a rose shaded t-shirt. After grabbing his clothes he then proceeded to look at the mirror and saw how bad he looked in the morning. This boy was standing at approximately 6 feet tall with a strong yet scraggly look accompanied by his shaggy brown hair making it long enough to be at eyebrow length with a giant cow lick, just above his darkened emerald color eyes. As he put on his clothes on as he looked at his disastrous cow lick and tried to maintain it for today at least by harshly combing it for a couple minutes before he decided it looked like a messy mop but it was good enough. Making his way from his room he headed into the kitchen area to find his parents talking over what looked to be green tea.
"Good morning Mom and Dad" The boy said cheerfully while letting out a large drawn out yawn.
"Morning? It's already 1 in the afternoon Mason." his father responded sipping on his tea and his wolf ears wiggling
"Wait really? How come no one came to wake me up?" Masons look turned from innocence into shock
"Well you worked really hard you helped your Father yesterday we thought you deserved it." His mother smiled as she nudged the father trying to give him a signal. The father picked up on the signal and walked into the other room to go fetch something in another room while his mother made Mason a cup of tea as he sat down. Masons father returned holding a large box about half his size gift wrapped in a blue starred wrapping with a green ribbon on top the box with a note besides it.
"Huh? What's this" Mason inquired his parents as he took a long sip from his cup
"Well seeing how your 16th birthday is coming up in a couple weeks, your Mother and I decided to get you something early." His Father let out a small smile handing it to him as his Fathers ears wiggled in excitement. Mason accepted the gift and held it in his arms 'Its large but not as heavy as though' Mason wondered. The boy then set the box down on the ground making his way to the top and picked up the letter and looked at it. It was a plain white card with no writing on it and upon opening was a card with several coins of lien(the currency in Vale). The card was folded in half as it was also white and Mason read the card to himself silently:
Dear Mason,
Happy early birthday Son we hope you like these gifts we gave you. Ever since we moved out of the city life was tough here but we managed to get by with your help hunting monsters and selling them to keep this family alive and well. You may only be 15 years old but you have matured and no matter what goals you have we will be behind you 100 percent. When you were born we were surprised that you had no faunus features what so ever. You must never tell anyone about you being half human and faunus or our last name Foxtail because if you do people will never leave you alone and wont care about your problems or feelings. We also left you 1000 lien so you can go to the capital and buy something you would want.
Love, Mom + Dad
Closing the note he then put the small lien coins into his jeans pocket as he stood up turning to his parents and hugging them.
"You guys are the best. I love you guys." Was all Mason could muster with him choking up at the moment.
"We love you too Mason, now have you thought of what you want to do?" His Mother inquired
"Well…" Mason thought to himself .
"I want to become a hunter like you Dad. I want to people to see that people like me can be normal and let them see that that we are people also." Mason quickly said nervously
"Well then Mason, we wont hold you back but if you want to be a hunter but we might as well give you a little push" Masons Father spoke teasingly pointing his finger towards the blue box. Lifting up the somewhat light box and then tearing at the wrapping it felt like time was slowing not to mention He was unwrapping it slowly. Upon opening the box there was a dark black metallic rectangle box roughly the length of 1/3 of my body but lifting it up it seemed to weigh almost nothing, it also had a leather sling with a adjustable latch for easy carrying. Holding it up and it felt as if the object was giving off a warm sensation like a soft happy feeling surrounding me. Examining the item it seems like there was a button like switch close on the edge of object. Standing up the shaggy haired teen then pressed the button and to his surprised it transformed into something unfamiliar. The black box extended and expanded into a large metallic staff in the shape of a T and soon fully transformed into a scythe. Completely flabbergasted Mason was in pure awe looking at this new weapon, the scythe was a dark black going up the length with small hints of silver designed throughout the scythe with it being a little but taller than him. On top of the scythe was a long thick blade reaching out far as it curves down in a silver crescent for slashing and hacking while on the other side of the scythe is a small attachment of another blade darting down possibly to hack into things or to cling on things. At the bottom of the scythe was a another metal blade to stab with the bottom of it. This was a perfect killing tool and to top it off it was one that feels right just holding it and slowly trying to swing it the weapon feels light and fast.
"Wow thank you so much." Mason was so exited as he fan boyed over the deadly tool.
"It was your Fathers when he used to be a hunter." His Mother commented on.
"Wait really!?" Mason squealed as he turned towards his Father who was blushing but trying to play it off cool
"Well, yea I used it when I used to fight the creatures of Grimm before I started caring for you and your Mother. And if you want I could train you with the Roses Thorn from now on" His Father said sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head.
"Roses Thorn?" questioned Mason
"It's the name of the scythe." The Father blatantly said.
"Oh. Can you please teach me how to use it?"
"Sure thing Son but this scythe is special. Do you feel anything when you hold it?"
"It feels like a warm fire is surrounding me. It almost seems peaceful holding it"
"Well that's what the Thorn can do. It adjusts to the user making him or her stronger and not only I will teach you but the scythe can teach you"
"Wait how can a weapon teach me?"
"Think of it of that the weapon has a mind of its own. Also you may not know it yet but from what I can sense I can see that you have a lot of hidden potential and the Thorn can help unlock that potential and maybe some of your hidden features." His Father hinting at his Son
"So it can teach me also? That's so cool!" Mason showing a huge grin looking at the Roses Thorn
"For now at least you should go to the city and buy something you would like with the lien we got you. Maybe you should get some armour to protect you in battle." Added his Mother
"I'll head out right now, and thanks for the presents Mom and Dad I love both of you." As Mason transformed the Thorn back into its compact form and slung it over his back.
"We love you too honey, just come right back from shopping." Mason Mom letting out a small grin looking at her son seeing how heroic he looks with the weapon hanging behind his back.
Mason was about to walk out of his house and went through a checklist though his head.
'Blue jeans? Check. Black sweater with red shirt? Check. Black converses? Check. Huge bad-ass weapon? Check. And last but not least money?' The teen then tapped on his pocket hearing the lien cling together. "Check" The shaggy haired boy then left his house and began his big walk towards the big city.
"I wonder how far the walk is…" Mason sighed as he re adjusted the Thorn on his back to make it more comfortable and then running his right hand through his hair thoroughly . As the teen made his walk in the afternoon sunlight towards the shining city but he didn't know he was casually walking as his parents watching him from the house as he left starting his journey becoming a huntsmen and maybe even something grander.
I hope you guys liked the first chapter and are anticipating a new chapter! I had a lot of fun making this. I also promise that the next chapters will be longer and more eventful.
