Author's Note: This is my main story with Kadmiel. This is my first time writing a full story so I apologize if it sucked and watch out for possible grammatical errors. xD (Sorry for my long absence though. ^^')
Again, this is how Kadmiel looks like: Short, spiky raven hair with orange eyes. Her bangs are like Natsu's (Fairy Tail) and her hair looks like she has cat ears (she's not a Faunus) but is swayed to the right side (left side for Kadmiel). Same height as Blake. :)
If you don't get my description, I'll just make a Kadmiel drawing for you guys to see. You'll see it one day. xD
Disclaimer: I don't own RWBY. It belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum.

…: Kadmiel :…
Fire. That's all I could see, fire. I could smell the foul scent of the burning houses, the forest, and most of all,
Burning human beings.
I covered my ears in attempt to ignore their screams of agony, pleading for the torture to stop. "Stop! Please, stop it!" Tears flowed freely down to my face as I begged to just end it already. But of course, it didn't oblige. My knees gave in and before I realized it, I was crouching on the ground.
Suddenly, I could hear murmurs in the background. I look up, only to be met by a sword pointing its sharp tip to me. "You killed my son! You… you monster!" I can tell from the deep voice that this person is a guy, voice filled with anger and hatred.
"I-I didn't mean to! I swear! P-please hear me out!" In all honesty, I really didn't mean to. It was too powerful, I couldn't control it.
"Like hell I would listen to a monster like you. Son, can you see this? I will bring you justice." He raised his sword and smiled like he lost his mind. I knew it was futile, but I tried. "Go to hell!"
~ Kadmiel's Room… ~
I immediately sat up and gasped for air as the nightmare ended. I felt dampness on my forehead and noticed I was sweating. I wiped it with my forearm and began taking deep breaths. I clutched my head to calm me down. When will this stupid nightmare ever going to stop? 'You alright, partner?'
"For now, yeah." The Eidolon hummed inside my head. Ifrit is one of the celestial beings they call 'Eidolon'. Eidolons are created by The Creator that said to be protecting Remnant for many years. An Eidolon can choose its master if they see their potential master has pure intentions for the world, naming them 'Eidolon Holders'.
What's cool is that Eidolons can lend their power to its holder if he/she commands it and the holder will transform, resembling their Eidolon's form. Pretty neat, huh?
"Kadmiel! Time to go hunting, honey!" Whoops, duty calls.
"Coming!"
I got out of the bed and began stretching my arms and legs. I stretched my neck to the side to wear off its numbness. I swear, every time I sleep, I couldn't get to a more comfortable position thus leading to a stiff neck in the morning.
After that, I went to my closet and brought out my usual attire. A short-sleeved white jacket with a black hood that has a vertical white stripe and shoulder pads, a black undershirt with a white fang-shaped on the collar, black pants with gold lining and my boots with gray straps, and finally my black fingerless gloves. I went to the bathroom near my door to take a shower.
~ 15 minutes later… ~
As I finished drying myself, I took the bandage from the medicine cabinet and wrapped it on my chest, making it flat. I have to hide my identity, or else he will find me. Then, I wore my clothes.
After wearing them, I straightened out the collars of my undershirt and pulled, covering my neck and I pulled down the zipper just below my collarbone. I took my navy blue belt and attached it to my pants. I grabbed my casino dust cards (a gift from my childhood friend's uncle) and throwing knives, strapping them to both sides of my belt. I attached my pair of swords that can be a double ended sword, named 'Wind Cutter', on the back of my pants.
I also grabbed my small red bag and clipped it on my left thigh. I looked around my room to see if I forgot something, "Alright, all set! You ready, Ifrit?"
'Hah! Of course I am! Who do you think you're talking to?'
Okay, no need to get cocky you know.
'I heard that.'
I brushed it off and laughed lightly and went downstairs.
~ Dining Room… ~
"Good morning, Mrs. Brightshade." I held my hand up as my way of making my presence known and smiled.
"Good morning to you too, sweetie." Mrs. Brightshade smiled warmly. I sat one of the chairs and was greeted by a mouth-watering sight of chocolate chip pancakes with two strips of bacon and a glass of milk. "I made your favorite, Kadmiel. Eat slowly so you won't choke again, dearie." She chuckled.
I chuckled. I sometimes choke on my food if I'm really hungry or it's delicious or both. "I'll try not to." Mrs. Brightshade is a woman in her mid-40s and her brown hair is always tied on a neat bun on top of her head. Her name is Cecilia Grants-Brightshade, married to Chael Brightshade. They're kind enough to let me stay in their house when I ended up here in Vale, which I'm eternally grateful for.
They also knew about my situation and still accepted me even though I'm a complete stranger to them. I'm glad that I found them.
I noticed that my father figure is nowhere to be found, "Where's Mr. Brightshade?"
She crossed her arms and pouted, "How many times do we have to tell you to just call us 'Mom' and 'Dad', sweetie. And to answer your question, he left early for the delivery in Atlas."
Oh yeah, I forgot.
I sheepishly scratched the back of my head and smiled, "Heh, sorry. Old habits die hard."
She owns a bakery named 'Happy Tummy' while Mr. Brightshade owns a weaponry shop (that's where I got my throwing knives). Mrs. Brightshade is well-known for her delicious breads, cupcakes, cookies and all kinds of bread. The bakery and the weaponry shop are just beside their beige-colored, two-story house.
They didn't have any children due to Mr. Brightshade's 'condition'. They treat me like their own child as I treat them like my parents.
After finishing my heavenly breakfast, I stood and pecked Mrs. Brightshade on the cheek. "I'll be going now. Thanks again for the food!"
Mrs. Brightshade smiled warmly and waved me goodbye, "Be careful, dear!"
~ Outside… ~
Ahh… What a beautiful, sunny day. The cool breeze, birds chirping, and the sky filled with clouds. 'You really like to be free, huh?'
I nodded, "Yup, just staring at the sky makes me calm my nerves."
'Sometimes I wonder if you and I are a good pair 'cause it seems to me that it'd be good if Bahamut chose you instead.' Ifrit jokingly said while laughing.
I laughed. We get along just fine, you know. Besides, I prefer red, hot flames than strong winds.
'Despite your surname refers to the wind?'
I shook my head in a friendly manner and smiled. Alright, time to start my daily routine!
~ Emerald Forest… ~
*THUD*
Man, these Beowolves are pretty easy to kill! Hell, I didn't even break a sweat! 'And you told me I'm cocky.'
Hush you.
I separated Wind Cutter and wiped the blood off with a swing and sheathed it. A yawn escaped from my mouth, "Well, I'm gonna take a nap."
I sat down to the nearest tree and rested my back on it. I didn't even bother to look around if there are any Grimms near me, too lazy to look. I gaze at the sky and spotted clouds with different forms, some are animals and heck, there's even a pie-shaped cloud!
As minutes pass by, my mind started to drift to my home. I wonder if my family missed me, if she missed me…
Then, I felt a sudden tug at my heart. I sighed, "I wonder if they're looking for me right now…" I closed my eyes as I could feel tears forming in my eyes.
After a minute or two, my slumber was disturbed by a rather loud voice echoing in the forest.
"UGH! RUBY ROSE! HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME ALONE AGAIN IN THE FOREST!"
Damn, who the hell was that?! Just when I was about to fall asleep! Is someone having their 'time of the month'?! Whoever that is, she's gonna pay for disturbing my slumber. Just you wait, sleep destroyer.
I got up, feeling cranky, and looked around at the source of the voice. I could hear some whining and frustrated stomps on my right (thanks to my sharp hearing) and proceeded to jog to the source.
As I got nearer, I see a girl in all white. Her silver hair tied in a side ponytail with a tiara and at the back of her bolero bears a snowflake crest. She wears an elegant skirt that turns to blue at the ends of it and a small bag on the back of her waistline. A silver rapier can be seen on her hip and she's wearing heels too.
Pfft. I swear, if she removed her heels, she'd be a midget. 'Wait a minute. I think I've seen that crest before… It's in one of those magazines you read.'
It looks like she knows that someone is standing behind her as she starts to turn around and said, "Well, look who decided to come ba—"
...
Whoa.
Whoa.
WHOA.
Ifrit whistled, 'What. A. Babe.' Got that right. I'll let this one slide. 'Calm down, lover boy. Your heart rate spiked up the moment you saw her ~' Wait, what. You're serious? 'Yup.'
Well, it looked like she was shocked too. But not like me, it looked like she was not expecting to see a stranger. But man, those eyes. Oh, she has a scar. So what? It goes well with her face. 'Dude, control yourself.'
Oh! Uh, right. I hope I don't mess this up. I tend to go brain-dead when I meet new people. 'Attractive people, that is.' Alright, you can do this! Ahem! Come on, just say something! "A-are you lost, miss?" Nailed it.
"H-huh? I'm not lost! I-I was just playing hide and seek with my teammate! Me, lost? T-that's just absurd!" White Girl said while keeping a straight face and nervously laughed.
I see how it is. I crossed my arms and quirked an eyebrow while smirking, "Oh really?"
"Yes, really!"
I continue to challenge her by maintaining eye contact with her. 'You're just using that as an excuse just to stare into her eyes.' Shut up, Ifrit.
She gave up eventually, "Ugh, fine. I am lost. My teammate moves too fast sometimes that she's just suddenly not there anymore and I don't know the forest all too well." She looked away from me and crossed her arms, "Happy now?"
Tsundere Alert. 'You're reading too much comics.' It's not a comic, it's manga. 'Yeah sure, whatever.'
White Girl approached me, "By the way, I never got your name."
"Oh, uh. It's Kad—"
*ROAR*
We looked behind us and found an Ursa Major. We immediately draw our weapons and went to a fighting stance.
"Let's go!" I said to her as I dashed towards the Ursa. I always go 'Dead Serious Mode' when I see a threat.
"H-hey wait!"
The Ursa was about to hit me, but I quickly dodged it and connect the end of Wind Cutter's hilts and sliced the Ursa's arm. It howled in pain and started to blindly attack us. I somersaulted backwards to avoid another attack.
I took out a Six Diamonds card and threw it towards the Ursa. Once it made contact, it froze half of the Ursa's body. "Now!"
White Girl acted quickly and charged towards the Ursa. I noticed her rapier had a dust revolver. Cool. It revolved and stopped at the red mark. The blade glowed red and White Girl pierced the Ursa.
Wait, red means fire in dusts, right?
Oh shit, that's not good.
I immediately ran as fast as I could to her. I quickly grabbed her arm to get away fast. "What are you-!" We heard the Ursa Major howled one last time and it exploded.
We weren't fast enough, so the impact blasted us away and land roughly on the ground, both losing consciousness.
~ Some time later… ~
As my consciousness is starting to come back, I hear voices around me.
"Pfft. Well, this is a thing."
"Yang! Not so loud!"
"Maybe we should leave. We wouldn't want to disturb the lovebirds."
I groaned and opened my eyes. Huh…? What am I touching? I squeezed it again to feel it. It's… soft. Then, I heard Ifrit laughing uncontrollably in my head. What the heck's going on? 'That's right, keep touching and squeezing it, partner!'
I pushed my body off the ground to see what or who's under me. As I saw who it is, well, let's just say that my heart and head exploded.
White Girl is the one who's in front of me. A-and my h-hand is on h-her… breast, the part I k-kept s-squeezing earlier. She's starting to show signs of consciousness and when she's fully awake, the first thing she saw is my very, very red face and my mouth was agape.
And when she saw where my hand is, she went ballistic. Once I saw her reaction, I immediately removed my hand. "W-wait! I-I can explain!"
"Y-YOU PERVERT!"
She punched me hard on the face and fell backwards, losing consciousness again. I could swore that there's blood flowing out of my nose though.
Author's Note: Wow! This. Is. My. FIRST. LONG. CHAPTER! I had so much fun writing this! xD
How was 1st chapter for you guys? Good? Bad? Please let me know so I could somehow improve. Whether it's a positive or negative response (I really wanna know. :3).
Since comics are canon in RWBY, I added anime and manga there! So, yeah. Kadmiel is an otaku. xD
Sorry that the action was short. It's already late here and I'm tired now so, I'll just go to sleep now. xD
See you in the next chapter peeps! God Bless You! :)
P.S: Kadmiel is a girl. Just in case you didn't notice. xD :P
UPDATE: Added Kadmiel's tagline (Persona 3) and fixed some things.
