A Tale of rot and decay
Disclaimer: I do not own a Rwby or Elden ring there will be spoilers for both and Violent scenes will also be included you have been warned.
A child of 6 years is seen sitting on the lap of a woman who wore a serious look on her face yet behind that was a love for her son, The boy also shared the same blood-red hair like her, this woman was Malenia Blade of Miquella and goddess of rot to some, cradling the child with two prosthetic arms that were said to have been made from unalloyed gold that was made to quell the scarlet rot and stop the meddling of outer gods by her brother Miquella.
Most of the children of Queen Marika possess a curse bound to them from birth a example of this would be the twin's Miquella and Malenia, Miquella was cursed with eternal youth and Malenia was cursed to be eaten inside out by the scarlet rot these two were known as empyreans, children born from one god later on in her life Malenia would go on to have empyrean children of her own. Her firstborn lost his leg before they could quell the scarlet rot burning inside of him, his name was Milo.
Her new-born daughter who was named Millicent shared the same scarlet hair as the two of them, the same thing happened again but this time the scarlet rot got to her arm.
Unalloyed gold Prosthetics were made for both of them that had needles spiking out of the end that jabbed into the scarlet rot infested flesh containing it.
At this current moment, they were sitting at the roots of the great hailgtree relaxing
"Hey mom do you think I'll be a good brother," milo asked worriedly.
"I'm sure you'll be a great brother" Malenia replied softly stroking his hair
"I'll try my best, and don't worry ill protect her too!" he said while Maleina smiled.
In an instant, they both felt a sharp feeling of pain in their head, a feeling completely foreign and confusing to Milo.
Yet when the feeling overtook Malenia she quickly understood the dire situation, the rule of death had been stolen how she didn't know how but the consequences of this were she and her children could be killed.
with that thought in mind, Malenia bolted up and spoke in a firm voice "I need you to go get your sister and check that she's alright ok." Milo stood there a bit dumbstruck before nodding and bolting off towards where Millicent was located.
while Malenia went to command her knights to tighten the security of the Hailgtree.
While Milo was rushing to get his sister a silent observer watched waiting for a perfect opportunity to strike and complete his duty.
Chaos is what Milo would later describe the hallways with multiple people all rushing to different places.
'I need to get Millicent, mom is counting on me' He kept repeating in his head.
when he finally reached the room his sister was in he felt a chill go up his spine yet when Milo looked behind him nothing was in sight, he picked up Millicent and for safety purposes picked up a dagger with a black hilt and a red blade that if you looked carefully had rot climbing up it, He was given it recently as a gift by his mom while it might look like a simple dagger it was capable of performing so much more.
As quickly as the brief respite had come it vanished, on pure instinct he rolled over to the other side of the room and when he looked up he saw a figure cloaked in darkness and wielded a dagger that looked as if it was coated in death if only he knew how close he was.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Milo tried to sound calm but you could easily tell he was afraid after all he was still just a child.
"Sorry kid but this is for the good of the lands between no Gods or Demi-gods an age ruled by the people who were oppressed by the Golden order, A place where things move naturally, a truly wonderful place but first for that to happen you and your sister need to die for balance to be restored." finished the man dressed in darkness.
and as he approached as if stalking prey Milos's hand touched a prototype waygate, what he didn't know was that the tiny thing was an inactive portal frequently used around the lands between, however without proper guidance when activating they can be volatile and dangerous, subconsciously Milo started to draw on the power of his rot which is dangerous in its own right and fuse it with the portal.
Suddenly it started to glow a bright orange instead of its usual bright blue and started to pull them into it and towards an unknown destination, like that Milo and Millicent son and daughter of the goddess of rot left this world towards another not to return home for a long time.
Just as the teleportation finished Malenia rushed into the room eyes darting frantically across the room, in an instant her eyes landed on the man dressed in darkness recognising what group he was affiliated with she quickly decapitated the black knife assassin,
After the quick decapitation, she started performing the ritual to summon a remembrance of what had transpired something only those born into godhood can even fathom attempting.
After quickly performing the ritual and viewing what had happened Malenia felt something she had felt only a few times… Fear she could feel both of their great runes very faintly and yet she could not tell precisely where they were. Her face was covered in panic she ordered her knights to leave and as they left she made a promise that she would find them even at the cost of her own life, and for the first time in years, Malenia showed weakness and cried for her lost children.
\_-With Milo-_/
After about 2 hours Milo finally awoke confused.
"Where am I ?" he said aloud before his mind caught up to the previous events of the day, he picked up the crying Millicent and tried to soothe her.
'Damn I need to find shelter I don't know what's out there, those people could still be after us There might be more of them.' Milo thought in worry before rushing through the woods That he was located in.
After around 45 minutes of running an exhausted Milo stumbled onto a small abandoned warehouse, a wide smile stretched across his face with his yellow eyes twinkling. As he walked up towards the building he saw a sign on the building "remnants repairs what a strange name." Milo commented bewildered as he said this he heard a howl in the distance, confused and scared for Millicent's safety he rushed inside and searched for a way to lock the warehouse door.
When he was sure the door was secure he put Millicent down into a cardboard box while he went to find something for them to eat.
Luckily for Milo whoever owned the place before had a small supply of canned foods
Quickly grabbing them and rushing back towards Millicent, placing everything down in the room they were in. The room had a wooden table and an old mattress. It looked quite bad but it could be worse, he told himself.
As he gave the cold canned food to Millicent he came to the realisation that he had been dreading since he woke up a truth he had been denying to himself, he and Millicent weren't going home anytime soon
After the sad truth set in he spoke a few words to Millicent that would decide his future for years to come.
"I will protect you no matter what it costs, no matter what I have to do your brother will always protect and anyone who dares hurt you will feel my wrath and fury."
AN: This is a rewrite the original first chapter was like if the guardian ape duo, Bed of chaos and pinwheel had a four-way child don't ask how that works, but I'm sure you get the picture I've spent the last months practising grammar and all that stuff I've also been writing a new fic which is a Naruto and Bloodborne crossover. I do plan on rewriting the other chapter of this because I like the concept but I did it quite poorly, I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day!
