Told y'all I'd be updating soon. Forgot to say this but I don't own RWBY or For Honor, but that's obvious. All creations go to their respective owners. It's 4 am and I'm going to bed. Also yes, I included the first part I already posted.

"This is the Story of Mourning"

"I'm sure you heard the story of King Arthur, am I correct?" Weiss simply nodded. "What if I told you it was true?"

I'm sure you know the whole nine miles of King Arthur. How he became the King, how he was a great warrior, and how he got the sword. (If you don't, basically there was Arthur, an heir to the throne, but had to be given away to peasants. I forgot why. Anyways the way he would find out if he was the King was a wizard named Merlin put a sword in a stone and made it so that only Arthur could pull it out. He did it with some magical spell. He did and became king). But what many don't know, was that he had a son. "I bet you know who it is" Jen said

"Etiam?" Weiss questionly answered.

"Bingo" Jen answered.

"I question the alinity of that" Weiss said

King Arthur was a great King. A man of the people, and was quite peaceful. He defended Rome (I am aware that he was the king of England. It just makes more sense to have it in Rome). against Saxon invaders in the late 5th and 6th centuries. After he got married to his wife and the war died down, he had a son named Etiam. Merlin the wizard came by when he was born. He said he would be the heir to the throne, but it would be taken away from him if he didn't know how to fight with a weapon of his preference. Now, Etiam was no ordinary boy. At a young age, he showed potential with fist fighting and the gladius.

Clouds surrounded Weiss, dissipating soon. It showed Etiam as an infant punching and stabbing a wolf to death with a gladius. Etiam had no hair and his eyes were barely visible

At just the age of twelve months, he killed a wolf, wandering too close to him when his family was out at a picnic.

Weiss' face showed pure disgust when clouds surrounded her. When the disappeared, she was in front of a round table with many knights, Etiam in the back walking around. Weiss managed to identify a few knights, such as Sir Lancelot, Sir Gawain, Sir Galahad, and Sir Percival. She was taught the story by her father a while back. They were all talking about the Saxon offensive, defense, all that good stuff.

King Arthur leaned over Sir Lancelot and whispered "So I've heard that you are quite talented with the gladius"

"Oh yes. A Spaniard game along. He was a legionary when I was just a boy. He taught me how to fight and use the gladius. Quite a good man. Too bad he was sold off and had to fight in the arena where he died (A/N: if you get the reference I love you. It's my favorite movie)" Lancelot whispered back

"You think you can do me a huge favor?" King Arthur asked

"And what that might be?" Lancelot asked

"Can you teach my son how to fight with a gladius?"Arthur questioned back

"Depends. If we have a good place and the war ends, I'll come around every now and then"

"Dude, we literally have the Saxons on the final string. All we need is pluck and we're done. I'm sure we can leave it to the rest of the time. They're fine warriors and great leaders at that. I'm sure they can handle themselves"

Lancelot sat there at the thought about it for some time before leaning back to King Arthur.

"I guess you're right. I'll head back to your property and train Etiam. Also, how did the Templar offer go?"

"Oh, I denied it. Didn't like what they stood for

Etiam at the time was punching a wall behind Lancelot.

"Should we tell the others?" Lancelot asked

"I believe they deserve to know" with that Kind Arthur stood up to make an announcement.

"Fellow knights, I have an announcement. Lancelot and I will be taking some time to train Etiam. He will take my place at this table and it would do him no good if he didn't know how to fight"

It was well received among the table, even some encouraging him to go through with his plan.

"With that being said, this will be my last meeting for some time. If you need me, you know the signal" after that was said, Arthur and Lancelot took Etiam out of the room and onto a carriage to go back home.

"Do you think we made the right decision?" Lancelot asked

"I don't know. Only time will tell" Arthur answered

"I hope we did" Lancelot got into the front of the carriage and grabbed the reins, snapping them sending them off.

Weiss looked astonished. Etiam was royalty. He had more power than she has. Snow surrounded her, causing her to fold her arms. When the snow settled, Etiam was older, maybe around twelve, give or take. He had a cloud covering his face and neck. Lancelot was in front of him and another boy with King Arthur holding a sword and his wife next to him. He was fighting another boy around his age. They were both wearing light armor and in a clearing of a forest. Etiam held a gladius while the boy had a broadsword.

"When I blow this whistle, the match starts. The rules are simple. First to stab, cut, whatever involving your weapon, you win" Lancelot held a whistle. "Ready?" He blew into the whistle indicating the start of the match.

The boy started off the match by dashing forward into an attack. Etiam easily dodged it and knocked the blade down, followed by him quickly stabbing him in the shoulder

Lancelot blew the whistle ending the fight. "Centurion - 1, Warden - 0. Ready your stances" Both boys entered their respective fighting stances. Lancelot blew into the whistle starting the fight again. They both circle each other for some time before Etiam got impatient. He stepped forward and went into the front kick. The warden dodges it and shoved his shoulder into him. Etiam stumbled back but didn't see an attack coming from the side. It lightly grazed his forearm, making him bleed lightly. Lancelot blew the whistle ending the fight.

"Centurion - 1, Warden - 1. Ready your stances". Both got into their stances ready to fight followed by the whistle. The warden left his fighting stance and started running at Etiam. When he got close, he went for a strike, but Etiam saw it coming. He easily parried the attack followed by him grabbing the back of the warden's head, kneeing it. Etiam laughed at the boy, about to jump on top of him and attack him, but Lancelot blew the whistle.

"Why'd you blow the whistle" was slightly angered but kept his cool Etiam.

"You had him on the ground. He's as good as dead" Lancelot answered

"But I could have done major damage!" Etiam stared at Lancelot. "Besides this fight is one-sided"

"You think so?" Lancelot asked

"I'm sure of it" Etiam answered

"So be it. Warden, you're done" Lancelot sent the warden off. The warden brushed himself off and walked away.

"What are you doing?" Etiam watched the warden walk away

"Teaching you how to be humble" Lancelot picked up a sword and stood in front of Etiam.

Arthur and Guinevere (his wife and Etiam's mother) stood up.

"Lancelot you will not hurt my precious boy! Put the sword down!" Guinevere yelled at Lancelot. Arthur put a hand on his wife's shoulder and looked her in the eyes "I'm sure he's doing it for the right reason. If he's going to be a leader of the army, you have to let Lancelot teach him a few things.". He let go of her shoulder and returned his grip to Excalibur.

She looked back to Lancelot and grumbled "carry on"

Lancelot returned his attention back to Etiam. "This will be a simple fight with a reward"

"And what might that be?" Etiam questioned

"Simple" Lancelot answered "You win, you get the rest of the day off and you can do what you want in the city. If I win, you have to go and compete in the arena and fight to the death OR go do leader training"

"Well that's a terrible bet," Weiss thought

"Sure" Etiam smiled

"But I forgot he is an actual dunce" Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose

Etiam hated leadership training. He was a natural born leader and learned many things from his father. It was just a waste of time for him.

"Honestly, the death arena doesn't sound too bad compared to leadership class" Etiam slapped the gladius against his calves

"Wait, what?" Weiss said

"Well you better not lose," Lancelot said

"I don't intend to" Etiam shot back

Arthur leaned over to Guinevere and whispered in her ear "Hold on let me go ref this match"

Arthur got up and stood in between the two and held a knife. "Both of you enter your battle stances" Lancelot leaned forward and rested the sword on his forearm. Etiam stood more up but had his gladius next to his ear. "I will throw this knife in the air. When it hits the ground, the round will start. Do you both understand?" Arthur asked. They both nodded. "Ready?" He threw the knife in the air, spinning perfectly in a circle. It was in the air for five seconds before landing into the ground. Etiam took the initiative and jumped in the air, ready to do an eagle strike. Before he stuck Lancelot, he fainted the attack (in game you can't faint it but I don't wanna hear it). Lancelot dodged in anticipation. Etiam guard broke him. He quickly looked around and there was nothing to wall splat him, so he hit him with the end of the gladius three times and pushed him away. Lancelot was slightly tired from this and waited a bit, then dodged forward into a shoulder bash. Etiam dodged it and went for a guard break, but Lancelot countered it, both returning to a neutral position. Etiam charged a heavy, but let it go instead of charging it. Lancelot was caught off guard by it, but he still managed to block it. Etiam quickly followed up with a quick heavy, which Lancelot blocked, followed up by a quick jab. The jab his Lancelot, but Etiam didn't follow up as he was low on stamina. They both circled around for a little bit, engaging in a staring contest.

"You going to do something you turtle" Etiam asked

"I can ask the same" Lancelot shot back

"I have no openers" Etiam reasoned

"You have a front kick" Lancelot wasn't budging

"You have a shoulder bash that's faster than my kick" Etiam taunted him

"Is that so?" Lancelot asked

"Umm, yeah" Etiam answered.

Lancelot quickly went into a shoulder bash.

Etiam managed to dodge it last second "WOAH MAN CHEAP SHOT"

"Pay attention than" Lancelot shot back

Weiss stood there. "At this rate, no one will win. They're at a stalemate"

Just then Arthur spoke up

"New rules. Best of one, and if the winner isn't decided in the next minute, both of you get to sit in a cellar with the RATS" he chuckled. He wouldn't actually throw them in the cellar, both neither of the fighters knew that.

"Excuse me, sir?" Lancelot looked at Arthur who was standing behind Lancelot. Weiss was the fight watching behind Arthur

Etiam took this opportunity and threw his gladius at Lancelot. Lancelot quickly knocked it aside but was met with Etiam right in front of him, throwing a charged haymaker. Lancelot stumbled back but didn't fall down. When he looked back up, Etiam went in for the front kick, hitting him in the stomach causing him to bend down. Etiam raised both of his hands above Lancelot and put them in a fist and slammed down on Lancelot's shoulders. Lancelot fell to the ground and dropped his longsword. Etiam picked up the longsword and held it by the blade. He raised it up the sword and held it behind his back, then bent forward, sending the hilt of the sword into Lancelot's back. Lancelot made a small yelp of pain as Etiam ripped the sword out of his back and threw it to the side. He side. He slowly looked back up and stared right at Weiss.

"So I take it that I won?" He asked

Arthur took Excalibur and poked at Lancelot, who groaned in response.

"Well Lancelot seems fine and you stuck him first, so I guess," Arthur said"Just be back for dinner"

"I'll keep that in mind" Etiam walked towards Weiss but disappeared five feet in front of her.

"He's better than you now Lancelot" Arthur held out a hand to Lancelot. Lancelot took the hand and stood up, using second wind.

"I know. He's probably the best in the world" Lancelot looked at Arthur "He will make a good heir to the throne"

"He kind of has to be. He's my only son" Arthur handed Lancelot his sword. "Also off topic question, have you seen Merlin lately?"

Snow surrounded the scene and quickly disappears, revealing Etiam still in the forest, but coming to a clearing.

Etiam was trying to get back to the city but got lost. He was looking around while walking, hoping to find clues. After walking around for a few more minutes, he found a clearing with a light shining in the middle. He walked into the middle of the clearing, now unsheathing his gladius. A loud twig snap was heard and he flicked his sight to it. There he saw Merlin, standing there.

"Hello there Etiam" The wizard greeted

"Morning" Etiam sheathed his gladius. "It's been a while. I think the last time I saw you were my birthday. My FIRST birthday"

"I'm surprised you still remember me" Merlin smiled approaching Etiam

"I would've forgotten, but my dad wouldn't stop talking about you. oooooh he's so cool. He made my life. If I didn't know, I would've thought he sucked your di-"

"NOW NOW let's not talk about that. It's in the past" Merlin tried to shut him up.

"Fine, fine. HEY WAIT A MINUTE" Etiam looked at him.

Merlin quickly cast a spell causing him to forget what happened in the last two minutes. Etiam fell down with a loud thud. Merlin waited a few minutes before waking Etiam up. Etiam got up and held his head, being a little dizzy.

"Owie Zowie, right in my infinity stones" Etiam looked at Merlin "MERLIN. IT'S BEEN FOREVER" Etiam hugged the wizard. Etiam back away for a moment. "So what brings you to me?"

"It's about the future"

"What about it?"

"Yeah it's kinda screwed over"

"Huh. How did that happen?"

"Apollyon will sway the balance of the world. When she does, she will cause an earthquake that will end this world. The earthquake won't kill us, the war that follows will"

"Sooo, we're all going to die?"

"Not you. You and three others will make it out"

"That's great and all, but what about my family? I won't leave them behind"

Merlin panicked a little bit "Umm, they'll make it out too! But you won't see them for a long time since you will be split up from them!". Merlin predicted they were going to die, but he didn't want Etiam to worry. "Also, an enchanted gladius will be waiting for you in the new world. Once you claim it, you will be a leader of a New Legion, like the rightful centurion you are."

"That sounds cool and all, but what if someone else claims it?"

"Oh, it's like your father's sword. It will be stuck in place until you claim it. Oh, also a woman that you will fall in love with will help you find it. She will be your true love"

"Who are you, Cupid?" Etiam smirked

"Basically. You can find her. She likes white and has a rapier as a weapon" Merlin smiled

Weiss was shocked by this. "No, it can't be. Nobody will date me"

"Well, I highly doubt that. The author is lazy and bad at writing romance" Etiam looked directly at Weiss. "I wouldn't get your hopes up."

"Wait you can see me?" Weiss asked clearly flustered

Etiam turned back to Merlin seemingly ignoring her.

"So what is this world like?" Etiam asked Merlin

"It fights creatures of pure darkness, however, one friend seems to be able to talk to and control them. The world is also on the brink of war, and you and your friends must help a group of travelers"

"That's great and all, but how am I going to fight pure darkness? I know you heard the tales. And if they're true, my training alone won't stop them, and my friends new "friends" won't survive either"

"Simple, when you enter the new world, you and your friends will have already earned your powers. One will be Thor's Champion and can use his power at his will, one will have the power of Yin pure light, the other Yang, pure darkness. As for you, you will have the power of the crimson conquest. People will follow you as a leader and you can cause bloodshed at your doing or request"

"Doesn't that make us overpowered?" Etiam asked.

"They don't function the way you think" Merlin answered.

"Then how do they function?" Etiam asked

"You'll see" Merlin mysteriously said

"Alright, how do I get my Crimson Conquest?" Etiam asked

"You'll get it eventually" Merlin answered

"That didn't answer my questio-" Etiam was cut off my Merlin

"Is that Jesus' second coming?" Merling pointed behind Etiam. Etiam quickly turned around to see his god, but to his dismay, he wasn't there.

"Wait he isn't here," Etiam said as he slowly turned around seeing that Merlin was gone. He looked around and saw Merlin behind a tree.

"I can see you" Etiam pointed out

"No you can't, I'm invisible" Merlin retorted

"You're behind a tree" Etiam still looked at him

"No, I'm not"

Etiam picked up a rock and bounced it in his hand. He cocked back his arm and chucked it at Merlin hitting him in the shoulder

"OW" Merlin yelped in pain

"I told you I can see you" Etiam seemed a tad bit angry under his helmet.

"NINJA VANISH" Merlin threw a smoke bomb at the ground. The smoke was thick, cutting Etiam's line of sight. When the smoke dissipated, Merlin was actually gone.

"Well, that was a tremendous waste of my time" Etiam thought. "Wait, I should've asked him where the town was" Etiam started walking toward Weiss. When he got close, he disappeared into the snow. A snowstorm started to pick up blocking Weiss from seeing anything. When it calmed down, she was able to make out what was a town full of people with Etiam being the tallest. He was walking down a road crowded with people. He was also still wearing his armor for some odd reason, but that's okay.

He was walking down the street when a woman of a small frame started tailing him. She had brown hair and a well-curved body and a baby like face. She tailed him for around two blocks before Etiam turned into an alley. When she turned into the alley, she was pushed against a wall with a hand around her throat.

"Why are you tailing me?" Etiam interrogated.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

Etiam started to strengthen his grip on her throat.

"I'm going to ask one more time, Why are you tailing me?" Etiam stated.

"I- I thought you looked cute" She weakly answered.

Etiam debated the answer before dropping her. She gasped for air.

"Kinky" she joked.

"What is your name?" Etiam ordered.

"Mercy"

Wiess' face was slightly red as she watched her flirt with Etiam. Jen came in to narrate the story for a bit.

"Etiam and Mercy became close friends, even lovers later on." Jen looked over at Weiss, who wasn't too happy, to say the least. "None of their parents knew about their relationship, so it was like a Romeo and Juliet thing. Etiam commonly snuck out of his castle to spend time with Mercy. It's actually pretty sweet. Anyways, Etiam's 15th birthday was coming up, and he and his father had plans to go into the forest where they first started training. Of course, he told Mercy about it. They made a plan to meet up after everyone either got drunk or was sleeping."

"Wait, how old is Etiam right now?" Weiss asked, suddenly regretting her decision as it might count as a question

"Current time, around nineteen. Right now in the backstory, he's fourteen-ish" Jen answered nonchalantly.

"He found love when he's fourteen?" Weiss thought. She looked back up to the vision and saw Etiam walking with King Arthur, Guinevere, and Sir Lancelot walking with Guinevere holding a picnic basket. They were strolling in the forest and found a clearing to sit down in. It wasn't anything special. It was in the middle of the forest with a bunch of trees surrounding them. They opened the basket and started pulling out food. They were all focused until a twig snapped nearby. Arthur stood up and held out his sword.

"COME OUT AND SHOW YOURSELF" He shouted.

There was some silence and Sir Lancelot stood next to him.

After more silence, a woman came out, however it wasn't Mercy. It was something much worse.

"Apollyon,- what are you doing here" King Arthur stumbled back.

"I'm here to sip wine and get drunk" She stumbled out of the bushes with a Lawbringer and a Peacekeeper following her. "What do you think I'm here for? To make allies?"

"You're here to kill us" Lancelot tightened the grip on his Longsword

"That would be correct" Apollyon dusting her armor off.

"Why?" Etiam slapped his gladius on his thigh.

"Loose ends" Apollyon said casually "Your kingdom is the only one that hasn't allied with the Templars"

"Why are you sided with the Templars!?" Arthur questioned with, holding a small knife in his left hand.

"War. They are the wolves. They know no bounds to seek what they want, and it's control. Of course I'm going to strip them of that power but that's besides the point." Apollyon casually said.

"... That's the stupidest reason and I'm going to make up a better one, like money or power." Etiam pointed a finger gun at Apollyon with his off hand.

There was some silence that was quite deafening before Lancelot broke the silence.

"So are you going to duel us?" Lancelot asked.

"Who me?" Apollyon asked "No young wolf, they are" she pointed behind them.

Before anyone could turn around, they all had the back of their knees cut, all falling to the ground in pain. Two wardens walked in front of the four. They then proceeded to reverse the grip on the longsword and stab all four in the hands.

"Execute the King and Queen. Leave the other two. They won't survive a single day with those injuries." Apollyon said.

The Lawbringer grabbed King Arthur first and brought him to a tree stump and shoved him down on top of him.

"Holden, execute the queen first. I have some personal problems" Apollyon pointed to Guinevere.

"You sure?" Holden questioned

"Did I stutter?" Apollyon asked.

Holden took the hint and grabbed Arthur by the collar and tossed him away.

"No please, I beg you to spare us" Arthur pleaded, but it only fell on deaf ears.

Etiam watched in awe as Holden walked over and grabbed his mother by her hair and dragged her to the stump. He violently threw her against the stump and she grunted in pain.

"Any last words?" Holden asked

"Kalt" Guinevere whispered

"Y-yes?" Etiam answered

"Happy Birth-" Guinevere smiled as she slipped him a whetstone, but her head fell of the stump with a poleaxe replacing her neck. Her head rolled off the stump with her eyes still staring at Etiam with a weak smile. Holden kicked her body off the stump. Blood was pouring out of her neck as it rolled towards Etiam. Apollyon smiled

"Good job Holden" She patted Holden's shoulder "Make sure you finish the job. Mercy, follow me"

Mercy looked at Etiam with no remorse and turned her back on Etiam before walking away. Anger started slowly building up in Etiam.

Holden turned and watched them until Apollyon was out of sight. When they were gone, he turned around and walked over to Arthur and grabbed him by the collar.

"WAIT" Lancelot shouted.

Holden dropped Arthur and looked at a weak Lancelot who was still laying on the ground. "I hold more power in the kingdom. I control the army. Killing me would do you better" Lancelot bluffed. Arthur wanted to protest with him raising his hand but quickly fell to lack of blood.

Holden looked at the two wardens who simply shrugged. Holden just shrugged back and walked over to Lancelot and picked him up by his neck and walked him over to the tree stump. He threw him down. Lancelot looked at Etiam and his eyes started glowing blue. In Merlin's voice, she whispered "Finde weiss. Sie wird dir helfen (Find weiss. She will help you)" The voice ended with Lancelot beheaded. His head rolled next to Guinevere and his body limped itself off the stump. Etiam's anger grew and a yellow aura growing. Holden went for good measure and poked Lancelot's body. Etiam couldn't hold himself back. He stood up and flex his arm back, yellow flames emitting from his body. One of the two wardens who was standing in front of Holden looked back. As soon as his head made a full 180, a gladius pieced through his faceplate armor and killed him, his body dropping to the ground. The second warden saw the warden fall forward with a gladius in his face and turned around. Etiam was right behind him and picked him up by his neck and threw him down, front kicking his neck. Etiam walked over to the other wardens lifeless body and pick his gladius out of his faceplate. At this point, Holden was fully aware of Etiam.

"So, I see you have a fighting spirit" Holden smirked. "I guess a wolf does live in this blood-" Holden tried to wrap his hands around his neck. Etiam had thrown his gladius in the tiny slit in Holden's armor that was separated the helmet and the chest plate. Etiam walked over to Holden and yanked the gladius out of his neck and punched him to the ground. Etiam held a thumbs up finger then a down finger and kept swapping between the two. Holden held on hand on his neck and the other holding a thumbs up. Etiam held a thumbs down and chopped off Holden's hand and plunged the gladius into Holden's chest. He backed up and looked at the carnage. His mother, his tutor, and his families' executors were all dead. He came out of his faze when a small cough came from his father. Etiam quickly turned around and wrapped his fathers arm around him and stood him up.

"Father, are you alright?" Etiam asked

Arthur weakly coughed "Yes, just take me to a bar"

"Are you sure father?" Etiam asked

"Kalt Erfrierungen, take to a bar right" Arthur coughed out some blood "Take me to a goddamn bar"

"Yes sir" Etiam slowly trudged away from the scene. Him and his father, along with the scene, all turned into snow. Wiess had a horrified look. She had never seen so much blood or loss in such a short time. She held her hands over her mouth. A cloud of blue mist materialized with Jen appearing inside of it.

"Quiet the bloodbath I must say" Jen nonchalantly said "Etiam took his father to the bar, and eventually it came their home. King Arthur no longer was king, so he became a nobody drinking his life away. Etiam joined him in drinking. One day after getting groceries, Etiam found his father dead, his mouth full of vomit and the smell of alcohol reeking the place. This started causing sort of like a split personality. Etiam started drinking more in hope of joining his family, but only gained immunity to it. As he started drinking more and more and eventually went in debt. There was only way to get money fast, gladiator fights"

Snow circled around Wiess and soon after disappeared.

Etiam was in a pit full of bodies and sand with a roaring crowding roaring for more blood with the King sitting on his throne. He was walking around with his hands in a y gesture with his gladius a gladiator. He walked back to the gladiator and pulled the gladius out and cut the gladiator head off. The crowd cheered even louder. In the pile of bodies, a single gladiator with heavy cuts and slashes. He weakly grabbed a trident and approached Etiam. Seeing this, Etiam wanted to end it quickly. He flipped the gladius and held it by the blade. He pulled his arm back and threw it at the gladius the gladiator. He gladiator, dying from blood loss, fainted, dodging the gladius all together. The gladius, soaring through the air, nailed the king in the heart, the king now nailed to his throne.

"Aww crap" Etiam thought out loud "That's my sponsor"

The crowd went silent for a bit then looked at Etiam. Etiam looked back and shouted "Are you not entertained? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!"

The crowd went wild and roared in excitement, several starting brawling which escalating to the entire arena fighting. Etiam used this time to run over and lift up the gate to escape. After running around the tunnels, he found the exit. Once he exited, several knights were there waiting for him, including a peacekeeper and Lawbringer.

Etiam noticed this and reached into his boot and pulled out another gladius and set himself into a fighting position. All the other knights also enter their stance.

"Stand down know, and maybe you'll live" Etiam boasted

The knight remained silent. Claking of armor was heard and the knights moved and formed a path. Down the pathway was a knight with bronze armor and wings on his helmet.

"Impressive fighting," The knight said

"Who are you?" Etiam remained in his battle stance

"Name's Daubeny" He slightly bowed his head "At your service"

"Hmmm," Etiam questioned "Do you know Holden, Holden Cross"

"Used to" Daubeny scratched the back of his head "No one here liked him"

"Well, it seems we're on the same page." Etiam pulled out his flask "What can I do for you"

"I need you to represent the knights" Daubeny answered "We made peace with the other factions and we need to send someone"

"What's in it for me?" Etiam drank from the flask

"300,000 gold coins and 100 bottles of whiskey" Daubeny answered

"Done" Etiam answered as soon as the words left Daubeny's mouth

"Well, how old are you?" Daubeny asked

"Old enough to kick your arse" Etiam answered boastfully

"Fair enough" Daubeny took the answer "You arrive at the mire by sunrise in two days"

"I better get going then" Etiam ran to a nearby horse

"Good luck" Daubeny yelled

"I don't need it" Etiam rode away on a horse.

With that everyone turned to snow. Wiess had a blank expression on her face. She didn't really know how to respond. Sure Etiam was an alcoholic, but he had his own pains to bury with it. His split personalities were a by-product of heavy loss in a short amount of time and his skill were forged from a young age and was tested by the arena. No doubt he was a skillful warrior, but my god he dealt with more loss than the average person.

"I suggest you try to talk to him about it" Jen appeared next to her, "I think he needs someone to talk to. Be the shield to his sword"

"But he doesn't have a shield" Wiess stated

"It's an expression" Jen looked down at her. "Just comfort him. He needs you anyways"

"Well, I can try. I'm not sure he can really love anyone at the moment after being betrayed by the mercy girl" Wiess countered

"Then give it some time. If he doesn't open up, he can't grow or become better" Jen stated. "Just be there for him"

Wiess simply nodded before being surrounded by snow and disappearing.

"Two more to go" Jen stretched "And the next two should be the most interesting"

Which backstory do you want to read next? Also I some more ideas. I have two chapters written an Overwatch and Titanfall crossover if you want to read that.

Criticism is appreciated. Drop a follow/favorite. Or don't. Your read is appreciated and shows that you people like my writing :). The next chapter will be posted in the next month or so (don't trust me on that).
