A/N
I don't own either franchise but am huge fans of both. Those respective franchises belong to Rooster Teeth and Nintendo.
Made some edits to the first chapter and revised some of the content nothing major just some things that bothered me.
Prologue;
Beacon was shaping up to be an interesting place indeed.
The sun shone down on the courtyard in front of beacon as scores of anxious teenagers milled around gradually entering the prestigious academy for their first day of hunter and huntress training.
Sure some interesting incidents had already occurred, rumors ran like wild fire among the students that someone had exploded in a cloud of dust among other extravagant rumors revolving around a girl with a red hood and the Heiress to the Schnee dust company. But among a population of teenagers and young adults you could never be sure what was truth and what was exaggeration.
Among the multitudes stood a young man a rather handsome man at that, standing at a total of 6 foot, 2. While the norm for clothes and armor at Beacon had always changed the usual clean crisp armor of the students contrasted with the young man's he wore a dull green tunic held together by a pair of tanned leather belts that looked battered but still well maintained, the light chain mail underneath bore multiple signs of repair, his tan leggings tucked into a pair of well-worn leather boots, his hands swayed freely by his sides protected by a pair of leather gauntlets that had seen their fair share of wear and tear. What was most striking about him though was not his clothes or his unkempt blond hair not even his slightly pointed ears but his deep sapphire eyes which seemed to swirl like the depths of the oceans.
Checking that his sword and shield were still strapped tightly to his back his fingers wrapped around the hilt of the sword its comfortable weight resting in his hand, a small smile escaped from his lips unconsciously, it was comforting to hold the familiar weight again. Letting go of the grip he continued into the amphitheater where all the new first year students had been called to assemble for a speech by the Headmaster, Professor Ozpin.
As the young man entered he spotted a group of girls causing a small commotion and arguing, smiling to himself he had already decided to steer clear of the danger zone. Moving out of the way he stuck to the outer wall and found a good spot to watch the commotion unfurl. While the students entered the amphitheater Link noticed the darker corners of the room had yet to be filled by onrushing groups of students quietly moving forward he moved into the deepest shadows of the room hiding himself from the masses.
Waiting for the speech to begin the young man removed the shield from his back and looked at the intricate pattern engraved upon the surface of the shield and began to lose himself in thought, throwing his mind backwards to the years of his childhood he savored an old memory of his grandmother sitting on a chair next to a roaring fireplace, the light from it casting a warm glow throughout the small room. She was telling him about the crest engraved upon the family shield, he was only a small child at the time but he remembered every detail.
It was the crest of a royal family his ancestors had fought for, his bloodline traced to the Queen's champion and his family had carried the crest with pride. Pulling himself back to the present he carefully placed the shield in its rightful place again, he looked up to where another girl had decided to slide into the shadows next to him.
The first thing he noticed were her eyes they seemed to draw his attention immediately they were a beautiful golden amber the likes of which he had never seen before in all of his travels. Forcing himself to look away at risk of looking perverted for staring at the gorgeous woman next to him he ran a hand through his messy blonde hair and sighed silently not allowing the despair to get out. Looking over again she had pulled a small book out from a pouch at the back of her black vest and had taken a serious interest in reading the book to the extent of shutting out the world around her.
Smiling to himself and deciding it was now or never he steeled himself and opened his mouth to talk to her. As he went to talk the room darkened and a group of lights turned on looking at the stage Link shook his head as he looked up, Professor Ozpin had finally walked out. With a wry smile he closed his mouth and decided he would introduce himself later.
The room grew quiet as Ozpin cleared his throat instantly quieting the assembled group of teenage hunters, after taking a long drink from his coffee he started his welcome speech.
A few hours after the opening speeches had been completed the students were corralled into the large amphitheater which had been cleared to allow the large body of first years to sleep for the first night while dormitories were being prepared. The amphitheater had been separated into two hemisphere's male and female with neither side daring to go over to the other, some of the more enthusiastic young men had started posturing for the female's trying to impress with their muscle's, others didn't bother posturing as they confidently walked around in their onesies.
All this Link had observed from above as he rested on the roof amongst the quiet night, the sky above him was a tapestry of dark blacks intermingled with bright bursts of starlight the fractured moon was barely a sliver in the sky. A light summer breeze rolled through and rustled his blond hair as he played upon an ocarina the whistling tunes of the instrument carried softly over the wind.
The upbeat melody spoke of happier times and reminded the man of playing with his childhood friend in the forest near the town where they both grew up. Lost in memories of a more innocent time he didn't notice that he now had an audience of one.
A quiet one at that, usually his razor-sharp senses were attuned to the noises around him yet she had managed to get close to him within 20 meters before he had noticed her presence, with that he took his lips from the ocarina and smiled.
"Enjoying yourself over there?" the boy announced.
"Well enough" she replied with a small smile. "why are you up here all alone?"
"It's quiet, it's so peaceful up here no one to tell me to stop playing" he smiled sadly to himself making sure that his back was to her so that she couldn't see "unless of course you're here to tell me to quiet down, are you?" he questioned her as he looked out at the landscape around the school buildings reared up to the east of the school and wild forests grew to the west, the building he was now perched on sat between the two facing to the north.
"No I'm not here to tell you to stop, I was just looking for a quiet place so that I could read in peace when I heard you playing," she replied with another small smile. "Mind if I sit up here with you? You can keep playing."
"Sure why not it's always better playing for those who appreciate it, by the way my name's Link" he stood up as he introduced himself and gave a cocksure grin "might I have your name?"
At this point she had already closed the distance standing within 10 meters of him "it's Blake, nice to meet you Link" Blake replied as she moved forward and sat down next to where he had sat and quickly proceeded to open a book and begin reading it.
"So what are you reading?" Link called out as he moved back to his spot and sat back down fidgeting quietly he readjusted his place upon the rooftop.
"It's about a man with two souls each one fighting for control over his body," Blake said as she lit up a trio of candles "now if that's all I'd like to read now"
"Sure, sure" Link replied waving her off and bringing the ocarina to his lips, playing a more somber tune this time, Link played well into the night as the two sat on the roof, one playing his instrument the other reading her book no words needed to be exchanged as they sat in companionable silence enjoying the night.
As the night grew later and later the stars grew brighter and the sky grew darker, the two finally went their separate ways and descended back into the amphitheater below. Link laid on his makeshift bed in the corner of the room ready to drift off to sleep wondering what tomorrow would bring.
