Welcome to my fanfiction! I have been writing for a couple of years now, and only recently decided to post it onto this site, so feedback is very much accepted. Now without anymore delaying, let's get into the synopsis of this chapter. Considered as the first of my oc's "Trailers", this one is focused on a farmhand by the name of Shade Crocus. Shade is a caring and helpful young man with a burning fire in his heart. As he finishes up his work, he noticed he is being followed. It is up to him to deal with the threat.
The sun starts to set, and the moon rises over the sky of Vale. The forests are calm, the only noise that can be heard is the crack of an axe on wood. In the midst of the forest was a area cleared of trees. There stood a boy, not quite a man yet, chopping wood on a chopping block. The man had his shirt and jacket off, revealing his flat chest and abs. His messy dark purple hair waves gently in the wind. His wolf ears perk up as he hears a female voice call out, "Shade! Supper time! Come on back!"
Shade yelled back, "Coming, mother!" Shade gathers all the wood he chopped, and put it into a carrier. He slipped his long white shirt, and silk vest back on, and placed his plumed feather hat upon his head, and started walking. As he did, he looked over, and saw his sword. Shade then said, "Oh, almost forgot about you, didn't I?" He put down the chopped logs, and walked to his katana. He picked it up gently, and looked at it even closer. It has a dragon engraved on the hilt, and above the blade itself, was a double barrel shotgun. He opened it up, and two bullets were locked and loaded, ready to fire. He smiles slightly at his creation. He sheathed it through the leather slip in his belt, picked up the logs, and continued back to his house.
He walked in relative silence, knowing silence and patience is best when out in the wilderness. He walks carefully with each step, not making any sound whatsoever. While walking, he hears a twig snap. He stops in his tracks, and looks around slowly. He sees glowing red eyes all around him. A low growl follows, as a Beowulf herd has stalked him. Shade chuckled slightly. He set his wood down, and stood back up. He then said to himself, "I like my odds."
One Beowulf then roared loudly, and charged at him from behind. Shade waited, and waited. The Beowolf got close enough to claw him. As it unsheathed its claws and attempted to strike, Shade was gone in a flash. He back flipped over it. While in the air, he took his katana out, and fired one shot into its skull, killing it in one swift move. He then landed back onto the ground. He now has visual on all the other beowolves that followed. He counted ten of them, all emerging from the brush of the forest, one of them, an Alpha. He swiped his katana to the side, flinging any of the grimm's black substance off of his blade. He then twirled his katana, and put the hilt close to his head, and his blade and gun facing towards the enemy. He then said, "It's showtime!" The other beowolves roared, and all charged at Shade. Two came at him from the side. He stepped back once, and swung his blade horizontally whilst shooting, increasing its speed. It sliced through them both. One jumped towards him, and slashed at his head. Shade ducked, and the Beowolf missed him, only grazing his hair just barely. Shade then ran past him, towards the others. He took his katana, and flipped it around, holding the hilt at his side, with the blade pointing behind him. He then got his footing, and slashed upwards diagonally at one, putting it out of commission. However, as he had his blade still up, one Beowolf snuck up into a tree, and jumped onto him. Shade released his grip on his katana, and the katana slid away from him. The beowolf tried to gnaw onto Shade's face. In Shade's mind, he thought, "I have to use the Bear's Aura!" He gripped the Beowolf's upper and lower jaw, and held it open, his arms then surged with a purple aura, and Shade then made a huge bellow, and as he did, he ripped the Beowolf's upper jaw off, and threw it away. He then stood up. Now Shade almost looked angry. The last six roared at him, and Shade roared back, as a battlecry. Five then charged at him all at once. One swiped at his head. He grabbed it's paw, and punched the joint of it, breaking it with ease with his animalistic power. He then punched it's head, knocking it out. He took the body of it, and threw it into two more, knocking them out swiftly. The last one then charged at him, and he winded his fist for one last punch. The beowolf raised it's paw, and unsheathed it's sharp claws. Shade then did a swift punch, punching completely through the beowolf's abdomen. The beowolf then fell limply onto Shade. Shade pushed it off, and looked at the Alpha directly in its eyes. As he did, he felt a sharp pain in his head. He then looked down at his aura powered arms, and noticed that the aura started to recede. Shade then said to himself, "Not now, please." He looked around, and saw his katana still on the ground. The alpha beowolf ran towards him. Shade then started running towards his katana. The alpha and Shade met in the middle, where his katana laid. Shade quickly picked it up, and the Alpha jumped forward, and swiped. Shade blocked the strike. The alpha put force onto Shade and his sword, pushing him. Shade tried to hold his ground, but the alpha pushed him with ease. The alpha gripped his claws around the sword, and pushed it away, staggering Shade. As it pushed him, the Alpha raised his paw again, and swiped quickly. Shade turned, and the alpha clawed his arm. Shade winced in pain, as his aura was drained. The claw went through the white shirt, and into his skin. Shade looked at it angrily. The alpha prepared to strike again, but one shot rang out, and it wasn't from Shade. The bullet went straight through the Alpha's head it then fell forwards, in front of Shade. He looked ahead, and saw his father, Fenrir, wielding what appeared to be a revolver with a short blade under the barrel. Like Shade's, but in a more condensed version. Shade stood up, and said, "Father!" As he did, he grabbed his arm, and winced in pain. Fenrir walked over to him, and looked at the mark. He studied it for a minute. Fenrir then said, "He sure did get you good…"
Shade responded in an apologetic tone, "Yeah, father…I am sorry…I used my semblance too much again." He then looked down at his feet.
His father smiled soothingly, and said, "Don't be sorry, son. My father used to tell me what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." He then put his hand onto his son's shoulders. He then said, "Believe me when I say this, I could not be any more prouder of you, Shade Crocus. You have completed your training as the top in your class, and you have been admitted to Beacon."
Shade then looked back up at him, and responded, "You mean I was accepted?!"
Fenrir chuckled, and said, "Yes, son. We got the letter while you were chopping wood."
Shade then raised his hands in the air, and yelled, "AWWWWWW YEAAAAH!"
Fenrir then said, "Now come on, we don't want to keep Lavender waiting."
Shade nodded, and said, "Yeah, that would be a bad idea…" They then both chuckled. Fenrir picked up the wood, and Shade picked his katana up, and they walked home.
