I have no memory of how I was born … my first memory was darkness, the cold darkness; It felt at home… I had no concept of time, so I don't know when I discovered my aura, all I remember was feeling my soul resonate green, and illuminate the cave. Apparently I had been walking, I don't know how long I've been walking, but soon I see another light… The end of the cave. The Light also felt familiar, almost like family…
I stepped outside… my body felt small and young… but I recognized the older world around me… the beauty around me filled me with disgust at first… however that disgust turned into sadness, envy and jealousy, but I also felt love and longing. Like I missed someone...
The cherry blossoms rustled in the wind… it was peaceful, not quiet… but peaceful, I hate quiet, I need to hear the world.
I hear other, darker, noises in my presence, familiar still; dark figures in the form of bipedal wolves… they towered over me like the rest of the world… their red eyes met my blue ones, I exhibited no fear. I smiled a bit playfully… and the Alpha Beowolf (as I would come to know it) tilted its head down and begun to sniff me… It looked into my eyes again, I knew it recognized me but I didn't know how…
But it was afraid, its whole pack was, my green aura flared as they roar loudly, as if someone else was giving them orders, the Alpha slashed my chest with its claws. I hit the edge of the cave I emerged from… I cried as my naked body bled… LIke a baby experience pain for the first time… it was the first time I felt betrayal…
I hear the roars come to an abrupt end as A woman rushes into the area, slicing through the grimm like butter… She had wolf ears and wore a martial arts uniform and a black cloak cape… wielding what I would come to know as a windmill scythe… a slightly curved at each end staff with a scythe blade on each end… the grimm fell quickly, like she's killed literally millions of them.
She walked up to me, and scooped me into her arms, her tall form cradling me and cooing softly into my ear … I fell right to sleep.
5 years after I was adopted.
I was now ten years old, despite being western looking I was given an Eastern name, Midori.
The woman who scooped me into her arms all those years ago was my new mother and mentor, I never called her mom, despite always wanting to, I felt I didn't deserve it. Osei, witnessed my natural destructive ability from the day she took me in … so because of this she helped me focus it in the form of martial arts and my own special semblance… which was dangerous.
Despite my destructive nature I wasn't that rambunctious, I was a timid child, I stayed near my mentor, but I wasn't entirely antisocial, I was nice to everyone. The village was almost picturesque, faunus and humans had no quarrel, technology and traditional architecture worked hand in hand. Of course it wouldn't last long, tragedy doesn't discriminate from its victims.
Of course, raiders and bandits would roll through once in awhile and get utterly destroyed by Osei, she used to be a teacher at Beacon, so her prowess extended well beyond that of bandits and the Grimm that would follow.
Speaking of Grimm, whenever they see me they would react out of fear and rush me with as much strength they could muster. Needless to say I had to get strong quickly so Osei wouldn't have to save me all the time, and that strength allowed me to help out around the town.
Thanks to this however, my semblance emerged early, and it's hard to understand what it is; I have the ability to channel a dark energy, and expend it with blasts, beams, and cause explosions. As I grew, I wasn't a slouch on my physical ability either, I was definitely ahead of the kids my age, and many of us aspired to be hunters one day, I just wanted to help and protect people, if that meant being a hunter then so be it.
Everyday I would train with my Mentor Osei, mostly out of desire. I desired power, but not in the way villains do in comic books, manga and movies, I'm not a megalomaniac. But I wanted to be the most powerful in the world, so I can help protect people. My mentor told me that it's a very mary sue way of thinking. However, she's the one who taught me that reaching for unrealistic dreams is what's going to propel me to among those that are at the top, so I was determined to be the best. It was this determination, the desire to be the best person I can be, that made me so durable;
However, how I discovered this is a tragedy.
Another five years after Osei began teaching me Martial arts
I was 14 and a half years old now, and I frequently helped many of the village adults defend the place from grimm. They were my friends… One might even say I was apart of their team like Osei told me the schools do with their students.
Osei was easily the most powerful out of all the fighters in the village. She had the most powerful semblance, she was easily the strongest and fastest. One might say she was the leader, She was all I could ever ask for… that's all I want to say.
I however had not changed much, I was still kinda timid, but around them and just them I was a little more vocal. I had to, I was a crucial part of the team… According to the others, they could do fine without me but I had a strange adeptness to reading the movements of Grimm. I don't know what it was, but I felt as though I knew the movements of the grimm, being fast enough to dodge was the problem, and some Grimm are just too strong for me to tank. I may be able to read the movements of a Beringle but I cannot out maneuver it's damn attacks to save my life. Osei and the others had to save me from those whenever we fought them. But with my knowledge of the future moves of Grimm I told them how to beat one and they did it easily. It was a little difficult to relay information in hordes, because Grimm are adaptable even if slightly, but if left alive long enough can learn. I had gotten stronger over the years, Osei send an application in with a special word, and in a few months time I'm going to be training at beacon.
But good things don't last forever, a concept I have only heard of till that day.
I went out to the edge of forever fall, I could see my village from the tree I sat upon, but it would take me hours to get back, I was just up on a hill. I sat in foreign envy of the nature around me, listening to my music on my scroll. Noon passed and I saw an explosion and smoke billowing up from the village, which was my cue to start running back.
On my way back, some Griffon Grimm swooped down and tried to attack me while they were heading for the panic in the village. They were young so It wasn't much of a challenge to shoot them down. I reached the village by nightfall, and what I thought was a normal Grimm attack was extremely worse…
Men and women faunus with weird masks were dragging able bodied faunas from their homes and onto a big truck. Others were slaughtering humans, it had me astonished, I have never seen so much brutality before.
Upon violent instinct I rushed forward and charged my energy, firing piercing beams… It passed through several grunts like stabbing a pillow, I roared and rained hell on many of them… I set many of the villagers free and told them to help as many as they could and run ... I had gotten to the square and experienced the biggest horror of my life.
I saw the villagers… cut down and strewn about the square, they were gutted and opened to the rotting air…
I dropped to my knees and cried… I looked further into the square and saw Osei, battling a red haired man with a sword, they were moving so fast, I couldn't keep up. But judging by the slashed he would make in the buildings whenever he missed a strike, he was the fucker that started burning down my home and killing the villagers I called my friends!
The amount of anger and rage coursing through my veins made me feel cold and dead, the part of my brain that limits how angry I can get didn't exist, I charged up my dark energy and unleashed volley after volley of my personal payload. I was unsure on who I'd hit, but I had faith in my mentor that she could dodge and work with the pattern of my volley, Her opponent however turned to me confused and was grazed by a number of strikes.
I stopped and charged up a two handed blast, I put everything I had into it and more. He rushed me and Osei screamed and followed but he had a head start. I fired my attack and he stuck his sword out to block it and absorbed the blast… He stuck his sword back in his sheath as things felt slow for a moment, suddenly I felt a long deep cut in my torso, and I was propelled into a broken building, pierced by rebar…
Osei dropped to her knees crying and defeated, the man walked back and handed her weapon to one of his men who had ran up. He then grabbed her by the throat and was talking to her…
However, I had noticed, I wasn't dead yet… I looked down and saw that I wasn't bleeding anymore… Dark energy was bellowing like smoke from my injuries, I turned to my left, looking into a broken window at my reflection; My eyes were filling with a red glow my hair turning black and my skin turning bone white… I pried myself from the rebar and called out for Osei.
"M-Mom!"
It was the only time I worked up the courage to call her mother in a jolt of fear… but I meant it with all my heart.
She looked up, for a second she looked happy, then she cried harder as I limped forward, being held by only determination and skin…
Grimm finally reached the village from the sheer amount of hate and sadness being produced at the time.
However as if on instinct, I raised my hands and muttered something foreign to me, yet it was in my voice… "I am your God, do as I command."
-present day, slight pov shift-
"And after that I blacked out, and woke up healed and in a derelict village I used to call home. You two found me and now I'm here." I say shakily.
The man I came to know as Ozpin and his associate Ms. Goodwitch looked at one another, "That was a very detailed story Mr. Midori…" Ozpin said, sipping his coffee.
"Sorry" I replied timidly…
"No need to apologize, and no need to worry all that much, I ensure we will find your mentor" Ozpin spoke smoothly
"Mother" I was barely audible, yet Ozpin heard me anyway.
He nods "Your mother…"
A silence overtook us for a few moments until I spoke again, "I uh, I don't know what I am, I don't know how or what I did, Hell it's hard to tell who or what I even am anymore." I said looking down.
"May I see your power?" he asked his eyes peering into me with a strange curiosity
I nod and open my palm, And my body ripples in Dark energy, forming an black energy ball… "I can't do the transformation thing again, I don't know how."
"Well that won't be a problem, though when you're studying and training at school you may wanna practice the depth of your prowess in secret." Ms. Goodwitch said.
"School?" I inquire
"Of course, Your mother sent in your application and a great word, and from what I can tell, you would excel at my school. So, how about it, would you like to study at my academy?" Ozpin asked, Ms. Goodwitch rolled her eyes.
"That's the third time this week you've asked that." She chuckled.
"Well we've had some exceptional people emerge this year." He replied.
"People like me?" I ask softly
"Similar, yes." He smiles
"And I will get stronger there?" I ask once more
"That's up to you, but you'll have the same opportunities as your mother." He concludes.
"Then yes. I want to learn at Beacon Academy." I state
