The Dark Chronicles - RWBY AU

by Bulletproof Vanguard

In the year X573 the city of Lasterous was built. It was said to be a safe haven from the grim but was soon seen as just a trap to which we were the bait. Follow my new OC, Cayne Nichimura, and his friends as they fight against the grim to regain a freedom they once lost to themselves. (Warning, this is an AU with a lot of OC's, new grim, gore and swearing (And maybe a few lemons)

Prologue - The Beginning

There i was, running for the gate, all that was going through my head was 'Don't look back!'. Those were my mother's last words as she cried holding my father's body in her arms as she slowly bled to death. All around me people were running for their lives and screaming as they ran from 'them'. When I looked ahead I saw the gate to the central state known as Jōtai. I ran harder, faster, no matter how much it hurt my legs. I was running for so long that I didn't notice that I had already gotten past the gates until I ran into the guards at the nearest transport truck. Once on the truck, they transported me and any other survivors to the central city refugee camp. That day I swore to myself that I would Kill all of 'them', every last one, so as to avenge my family and free humanity from this death trap known only as Lasterous. My name is Cayne Nichimura and this… this is my story.
