"the end," he said closing the book, Looking at the sleeping form of her. Standing up and dispatching the chair and putting the book back on the shelf where it respectfully belongs. "now then time take that well-deserved bath" he said leaving the room.

She has always loved him since she found her, he would feed her, watch her, love her. He has helped her and will continue doing so no matter what because they need each other. He needs her so he can continue his fight, and she needs him so she continues to have the will to continue.
He was the first, the first to truly care about her, she learned this when they met when she was... Que the flashback.
*Flashback*
She stared at the table not paying attention to any of her surroundings, she wondered why she was here, what was her purpose in this world. " ." was she just supposes to be a pawn in a large game of chess "Anya" or was she just a puppet to a large puppet show for some deity's entertainment. "Anya!" the voice of her teacher finally broke through her barrier of silence. Looking at her teacher who stood in front she could see that he was annoyed "yes" she responded in her gray voice "Like I said before you decided to go into la la land what can you tell me the answer of the equation" he said She looked around and saw that many of the students had smirks or were snickering.
Looking past the teacher she saw the equation on the board "the answer is X=37squared2" she responded in her gray voice. Gray the only word that described her and the only color she could see. "Correct ," he said with a hint of annoyance. He never did like her, nobody liked her, even her parents didn't even love her.
The reason of their annoyance towards her was because of her special trait. While her parents were human she was fanus, a fanus with a higher I.Q than the children her age. They even said she had the possibility to become a prodigy, this only made them hate her more. Because of her possible future, they grew jealous because a fanus could be considered equal.
She continued to think about her existence until she heard the bell signaling that it was finally time to leave. She immediately grabbed her items and walked out the room to her locker carefully avoiding the much taller students. Once she had reached her locker she inputs the combination and quickly grabbed her items. She did not want to be locked in her locker again, it was quite boring. Once she had her items she walked all the way to the sidewalk a stood there will the other students got on the bus's and left.
She stood there for a few minutes until she thought up a reasonable conclusion of why her transportation was not there. "they want me to walk home" she said to herself and so began her 1-hour long journey to her home. This wasn't the fist time they wanted her to walk home, it has happened many other times. She would wait a few minutes and if her parents did not arrive she would begin to walk and would follow the same route she had used before.
A half an hour later into her journey she stopped and looked around at her surroundings. The same old crumbling walls of the abandon factories, the poorly kept homes and the large amount of fanus. She was just going to rub it off as a false alarm until some grabbed her and threw her into an ally.
"Oh man nice catch," a voice said she looked up and saw three adults one was playing the role of lookout, the other two were in the middle of trying to take off their pants. She was immediately filled with panic, she knew what was going to happen and did the only thing she could, she struggled. "hold still you brat!" one of the men said slapping her causing her to be dazed. By the time she recovered one of the men's pants were falling down 'No' she thought as she knew what was coming next.
*END FLASHBACK* *POV: CRIMSON*
After leaving Anya's room I tripped on that beer I grabbed earlier, like how did it even get there. But after recovering and grabbing some Pajamas I walked into the bathroom and started a warm bath.
*water flowing*
"..."
*Water flowing*
"..."
*water flowing*
*ring* *ring*
"hmm" Grabbing my scroll, which is black instead of white, it says I received a message from one of my friend/informants
From: Nyon
Crimson I found some info regarding 'Torches' future visits to the 'Fang' and some other important stuff meet me at juniors in a few days.
Your buddy Nyon
"heh"
"hehe"
"heheheHEHEHAHA" YES I'VE GOT ANOTHER LEAD ON THAT BASTARD AND SOON I'LL BE ONE STEP CLOSER TO FINDING 'THEM'. "OH SHIT THE WATER" I immediately remembered why I was in the bathroom in the first place.
"AHH," I said as the warm water covered my body, which was covered in cuts and bruises, well that does happen when a building collapses on someone. Well, that only happened because I didn't expect the VTOL and rocket launchers, and hopefully, the next encounter will go better.
"hey"
"hmm" looking around nobody was there, huh maybe I got a concussion from the building falling on me.
"you do not have a concussion and you will not find me anywhere in the room or house because I'm in your head," the voice said again. I knew I was somewhat insane if you count PTSD as a part of the insanity department.
"your not insane I'm just some random deity telling you that you need to have a flashback of when you first met Anya," the deity said
"I don't think that's a good idea," said to the deity
"Oh come on please"
"no"
"pretty please"
"Uh fine, but tell me your name"
"very well I am the 'Author' and not the author that is known as minime"
"who's 'minime'"
"not important begin the flashback"
*Beginning flashback*
*3*
*2*
*1*
*Flashback*
I had failed, I had searched month after month, and every time I got a lead I would be too late. I had no idea why I continued my search, I had no Idea why I continued after all the world would be a better place without me. Yeah, I should just kill myself and end my miserable life. after all, I broke her promise, I'll never be strong, I will only be weak. I stopped and looked at my surroundings, I was standing on one of the highways that were held high up in the air. Standing up on the edge I looked down below and saw all the innocent citizens as they continued with their normal life. This is it the end, the end of this terrible life, the end of the big bad monster has come to an end. Preparing to jump I started to count down.
*5*
*4*
*3*
*2*
*1*
wait.
I felt something, I felt...fear a lot of it. Looking around at the buildings below trying to find the source of the large amount of fear I found nothing, nothing at all. Think where could a person generate a large amount of fear think, they would be somewhere secluded yeah, they could be in one of the abandoned buildings or one of the alleys or
"AHH" I slipped and I fell towards the ground. Time seemed to slow, grabbing vengeance and glory and loaded them with a gravity ammunition and reversed grip them and aimed downwards.
*BANG* *BANG*
*BANG* *BANG*
*BANG* *BANG*
*BANG* *BANG*
Each shot slowed my descent until I landed on something "oh shit" I landed on a person, Looking up to see if anyone saw, I saw something that I wish I didn't. two men were, were... "what the hel-" *SWISH* the man didn't even get to finish his sentence before a 2-foot black blade decapitated the man in a clean slice. "HOLY SHIT," the last man said as he tried walking backward only to trip on his pants. He didn't even get a chance to stand back up until he was held down by black tendrils "Oh dear Oum this can't be happening, this can't be happening" the last man said as he immediately started breaking into a mess.
"there will be no mercy," I said igniting my hand in pitch black fire. Walking up to him and kneeling before him a raised my hand over his face "any last words before death guides you the gates of hell" "p-p-pl-please I have a Wife and a kid" he said trying to convince me to spare him. "if you truly cared about your family you would not be here" I said lower the burning hand on his face "AHHHHHHHHHHH" he screamed as he tried to break "AHHH MAKE IT STOP HELP HELP SOMEONE HELP AHHHHHHHHHHH" He continued to scream for a full minute until he finally went silent.
Standing up I took a deep breath and looked at the three dead men "Uhh" with a flick of my wrist the still floating black blade fired a beam towards the man's head blowing it to pieces, now there are three dead men.
*whimper*
'The girl' turning around I saw the girl in a fetal position crying, she had brown hair and was in a ripped school uniform with a torn shirt exposing herself and her skirt was gone and her underwear was gone, trying to make this sound less bad than it is. Reaching out towards her I stopped and looked at her head, she was a fanus, cat to be precise. reaching out again I brought her into a hug "shhh shhh it's all right those scary men are gone now there's no reason to be scared now" I said trying to comfort her.
She looked up at me with her eyes still filled with tears. Whipping away some of the tears I continued to comfort her "it's all right you can trust me kiddo" she immediately went back to hugging me and "so should I continue to call you kiddo or do you have a name"
she went silent for a minute until "Anya," she said in a quiet gray voice. "well it's nice to meet you, Anya, I'm Crimson" I said patting her back
*flashback end*
So yeah I learned her name was Anya Sere, age 7, now 8, and get this she's a fucking genius. Like she could probably hack every ATM in Vale and probably get away with it. Oh oum I could see her turning into a hacker, robbing hundreds of people at a time. I also had to go through a long process to take her under my custody, maybe I should of ask 'them', and no I don't mean 'them', to deal with it instead. So yeah after taking her In I tried to get her to open up, but she would just stay quiet and never talk. It got to a point where I had to go to a therapist and it turned out she was depressed before I even met her, and the whole incident thing only made it ten bloody times worse.
Also get this I was a bit depressed too before I met her, so yeah that helped me get a foot hole to get her to speak. When she finally spoke it, wait no I'll just talk about that another time, it's time to get clean.
Meanwhile, outside the space-time continuum, there was a room with blue walls brown carpet, there were shelves filled with figurines, manga, movies, and games. There was also an entertainment center facing the camera with all types of consoles hooked up to a huge plasma tv. At the center of the room sat A boy with Brown hair, blue eyes and was 14 years old he wore a red sweater with the words 'Keep Calm and Break their legs' on it, he also had blue jeans and was wearing red and black shoes this is minime.
To his left sat a bow with black hair and red eyes, who was also 14, wore a gray jack, with black pants, and black sandals, he also wore glasses, that is Darkangel
"Soooo" Minime
"yeah" Darkangel
"we went there," Minime said gesturing to the scene involving Anya's flashback
"Yeah, were fucked aren't we" Darkangel
"big time" Minime
"Uhh sir the cameras are on," the cameraman said
"Oh really uh hello every one of the internet it is me Minime and Darkangel Welcome to the 'Author talk show'(TM)" minime
"we better not get sued, and did you use the (TM) right" Darkangel
minime just shrugged "don't really know if I did" minime
"let's just pray you did or someone could just leave a review saying if we used it right" Darkangel
"well then back to today's main topic, Hello everybody and welcome to the Shadowmancer 2.0, some of you might be wondering why we started a remake with an entirely different plot so far, well it's simple right D" Minime
"we kept on thinking of how we terribly wrote the chapters and new characters and twists and also how we introduced Crimson to Salem's little group" Darkangel
"So yeah that done for, now for the second topic 'The Wastelanders and The Rose', as you've seen we have re-wrote our Prolog and shown that we are going to add the Courier and the Sole Survivor" Minime
"the reason we are adding them is that you don't see many stories involving the LW, C6, and the SS and we or well one of us recently bought New Vegas" Darkangel
"Don't need to rub it in" Minime grumbled
"I told you, you could borrow it," Darkangel said
"NO, IF I DID IT WOULD MAKE ME LOOK POOR" Minime said
"Uhh okay we speak about this later just continue," Darkangel said trying to avoid the conversation
"so yeah with that done I would like to introduce today's Random guest, but first" Minime
"MAKEUP" Minime the makeup crew runs up to the guest who is sitting in a chair off camera
"Drum roll," Minime said as Drums begin to play
"and finally LIGHTS" Minime the lights then dim
"as you can see ladies and gentlemen today's guest is CABOOSE FROM RED VS BLUE!"
the camera looks to where caboose is supposed to be sitting but he his gone
"Uh where's caboose" Darkangel
"I have no Idea" Minime
"any Idea how to find him" Darkangel
"just one" Minime
"well what are you waiting for" Darkangel
"CABOOSE HERE BOY I'VE GOT SOME COOKIES" Minime
"..." Darkangel
"..." Minime
"nothin-" Darkangel
"COOKIES WHERE, I want to have some" Caboose said somehow appearing behind them
"AHHH JESUS CHRIST!" Minime yelled in surprise
"fucking hell caboose don't do that will you" Darkangel
"Ok mister little caboose" Caboose
"eh?" Minime
"the fuck" Darkangel
"uh caboose what did you just say" Minime

"Oh don't you dare start" Minime
"I'm sorry it's funny" Darkangel
"uh we should have gone with Grif instead" Minime
"please that fat(beep) wouldn't even answer are phone calls" Darkangel
"so caboose what would you like to talk about," Minime asked caboose to only he is gone again.
"and he's gone" Darkangel
*sigh* Minime sighed

"just let him be it's 3:43 am right now so I'm gonna end the show here" Minime
"good Idea Oh and everybody please show your support by following, favoriting or leaving a review This is Darkangel Signing off" Darkangel

*minime has left the server*
"what arrogant fools," a man said having the voice of the 'Author' from earlier "thinking they can control the fate of a universe"
"can you blame them they are only mortals"
"Hm, your quite right brother, but we should continue this conversation later, were being watched"
*the 'Author' has left the server*
