CHAPTER ONE: DEPARTURE
A figure wearing a single long sleeved, shoulder padded, black leather hooded coat, hood seemingly casting the person's entire face in its shadow. It is plainly adorned with a fully closed red zipper and seemingly pointless silver beaded pull strings for the hood that form a semi-circle in the middle. The person wears a hakama-esque black pants and knee high red trimmed boots and short black leather gloves that end at his wrists. The person was walking very slowly and sneakily through the corridors of a castle. 'So far so good.' The person that and went around the corner and stopped as he bumped into a wall of flesh, bone, and fur. The hood shifted up and saw that it was a rather large gorilla.
This was no normal gorilla.
This gorilla covered in white fur, with bone-like plates covering its body at certain places like armor what seems to be red dotted glowing dots under the thinner portions around the left pectoral. It has well-developed hands with opposable thumbs and muscular arms. A strong broad back and powerful legs and clawed tipped feet. It's quite large, at almost twice the height of the hooded person. The top half of the face was covered in a skull like mask with a red glowing iris in the right eye socket.
"Shhh." The person said. "Don't make a noise, Barry." The person added, indicating that by the voice that it was male. "My father may be okay with me going, but my mothers and sisters aren't. The last thing I need is waking them up in the dead of night would end very bad." He whispered.
The large white furred bone plated primate let a small gruff as he thumped the ground with his enlarge clawed tipped hands.
"Hey, hey, hey." The hooded male whispered as he held the large primate's hands and rubbed it. "How about ha deal." He offered.
The primate tilted his head to the side as he looked at the smaller male.
"I'll get those bananas you like so mu~ch." He offered. "The ones that father bring whenever either of us come back from traveling."
That got the large primate to grunt happily, its maw opened like a grin showing large and sharp dentures.
"Good." He nodded. 'That makes two promises to keep.' He thought as a large white furred bipedal bone armored wolf went through his mind. He patted the gorrilla's chest and went his way.
The male finally stepped out of a rather large black and purple castle meant to house those of royal status.
In a way, he is.
"And where are you going at such a late evening, son?" A male spoke
The robed male froze as he heard the man spoke just as he passed the first grey hinted tree away from the castle.
"Uhm…Out?" He questioned as he turned to the shadows where the voice came from.
"U-huh." The male hummed as he stepped out of the shadows from the tree. He has black hair with purple ends tied in a long ponytail that reaches to his hip. His irises are gold with lighter toned slit pupils and deep purple sclera. He wore a black sleeveless shirt under a purple sleeveless ankle length jacket, leaving his arms bare. He wears a set of blood red pants and pair of black combat boots. His left arm looked monstrous is terms of his right. It was black with white bone like plating over the wrist and hand and reached just below his elbow. His fingers were equipped with blood red sharp nails. "And with a traveling backpack no less." He raised a brow. "Do your mothers know that you'd be leaving earlier?"
The hooded male sighed as he pulled back the hood, revealing his face. He has blonde hair with purple ends, but was short around his neck, hiding his ears, and was a bit ruffled in appearance. His irises were blue and regular rounded pupils and white sclera. "No." He shook his head. "How did you find me?" He sighed at the man's 'Are you serious?' look. "Right. Dumb question."
"You should thank my Semblance and Saberwolf for that." He chuckled as he patted the younger male's head. "You're also lucky that your oldest sisters are out."
"Σκατά (Shit)." The male cursed in an old language. He didn't think about that.
"Language, Jaune." The male chuckled, not all put off by his son's swear.
"Sorry, Father." The male sighed. "But I want to do this." He looked at the older male with determination.
"And you'll be leaving those two angels behind, you know?" The two had a small stare down until the older male chuckled. "You are really like me in my younger days." He said with shake of his head. "If you're sure then go." He nodded ahead of the deep dark discolored forest. "I'll stall you mothers and sisters and calm them down."
Jaune smiled and hugged his father. "Thank you father." He muttered into the taller blonde's chest. "And tell those two that I'll be fine."
"No problem, Jaune." The father grinned, showing his set of sharp dentures and pulled out what seems to be a small rectangle silver flat object. "This is the latest Scroll released that Watts got for all of us through his connections. I'm sure that you'll be getting an ear full from your mothers and sisters once they get in contact with you."
"Father." Jaune awed at the item and took it, the item splitting by the half and showed a glass surface that reflected its status to him.
"Off with you go before I change my mind." He said in mock seriousness.
"Got it." The son gave a two finger salute.
Caw!
A white large avian thrilled as it neared the two, landing softly despite the size. Its features resembling those of several other bird species. Two notable examples of this are its resemblances to condors and ravens. It has a mask-like, white bony structure overlaying the upper front of its head. It also has four glowing red eyes, two on each side of its head. The headpiece also includes a dorsal spine or fin, reminiscent of that on the heads of condors or some prehistoric pterosaurs. It seems to have two clawed "fingers" extending forwards from the outermost wing joint. It stood a whopping two stories tall.
Jaune approached the avian and rubbed along the lower beak, the white creature allowing a soothing thrill to rumble. "I'll make you proud." He said as he climbed the bird and sat at the base of the neck, his hand gently grasping the large feathers.
"I know you will son." The man grinned.
With a flap of its wings, the giant avian took flight, carrying the male to his new life.
The man smiled as his son disappeared into the purple skies. "You're going to go far Jaune." The man said. "I know it." He then turned to the castle. "Now then." He rolled his neck. "I have three wives and four daughters to calm down later. A good breakfast should do."
RDP
Jaune liked how the scenery change as the purple skies brightened to blue. "Just like old times." He muttered as he reached into his robe and pulled out a rather old newspaper.
Beacon Academy, may we guide all with eternal safety and peace.
"That'll work." He nodded to himself.
He just hope that his sisters, mothers, especially his mothers, will understand. He pulled out his scroll. "Gonna have to call Watts to make a transcript for me." He said to himself as soon as the person he called picked up. "Hey Watts. Can you do a me favor? I want you to make a transcript for Beacon Academy."
"Of course, young lord." A man on the other end of the line said without pause. "Is there anything else you would like?" He asked.
"Give Hazel and Tyrian my regards." The young blonde smile. "Thank you, Watts." He smiled.
"Of course, young lord." The man said with smile in his tone. "Have a safe trip."
"No problem." He then ended the call and patted the large avian. "Let's go girl."
Shrieeeek! The avian screeched and picked up speed.
