The warehouse district was located near the docks. Team RWBY was there in order to put a stop to the deal and find out more information about the White Fang. They looked inside a warehouse and nobody was there… again.
"Ugh… This is the Ninth one and still nothing," Yang sounded bored.
"You know this can't be that easy," Weiss explained as the whole team walked out of the warehouse to search the next one down.
As the team was walking into to the next warehouse, Yang commented, "I thought by now we are lucky enough to find…" Yang stopped talking as the team entered the warehouse to find Roman Torchwick standing by a table in the middle of the building, talking to a member of the White Fang. Roman Torchwick immediately noticed the team as they entered the building.
"Ah if isn't the group of kids that ruin everything," Roman tried to play it cool. As he had his attention on Team RWBY, "Do you think we can take them on?" After a moment later, no answer. He looked to find that one White Fang member already left. "Of course, I should have brought Neo with me than trusting the animals of the White Fang." He turned his attention back to the four girls. "Can we talk about this?" The team pulled out their weapons and readied themselves for the fight. "Guess not." Roman only responds was to sprint toward the back door.
"After him!" Ruby commanded as she started to chase after Roman Torchwick. "At least we can capture him." The rest followed in pursuit.
Asarirn, once again, jumped from rooftop to rooftop. To him, it was another day with no luck. Since his search, he got a pretty good idea what the city look like without referring to the map. Based on the information he had gathered, he knew he was in a kingdom called Vale. On the other hand, he still doesn't know what the creatures he had fought before were. Maybe, the kingdom itself fight off the creature out to keep the people safe. Even he knew there are other kingdoms, just like this one. But based on what he heard that it's harder to travel to other kingdoms. Why doesn't it matter to Asarirn right now? Sure he wanted to help others but not in the current situation he's in. There are seven people running around that he doesn't know what they are up to. There is a traitor among his ranks whose specifically target Asarirn. Yep, some kind of leader he is.
Asarirn landed on a warehouse and stopped. He haven't been that part of the industrial district. He decided to scan the area to find anything intersecting. Nothing really special about this place, just a bunch of warehouses near the docks.
He decided to sit on top of one of the warehouse to rest. It has been a long day and no progression was made. Asarirn looked up to the sky toward the moon. Why is the moon shattered? He looked at his palm and watched a magic circle appeared. The magic circle was a light blue color with a crescent symbol in the center. He could sensed a lot of Luna magic coming from this moon. He looked back to the sky, not at the moon but toward the stars. There were a lot of stars that cover the skies, which made him remember about his mother…
Flashback…
The night sky caused many to rest for the night, but expect for Asarirn. Asarirn was running outside, having the blast of a time. The only difference for Asarirn, he was younger, about eight or nine years old. He didn't have the markings on his face. During that time, he wasn't called Asarirn Nightlyis but instead called Arranis Shadow. He still had all his energy to continue to play around the lawn outside of his home. His brother and sister were asleep, but that didn't bother Asarirn.
Asarirn noticed his mother. His mother had long perfectly straight brown hair. She always wore a green robe when she's at her home. He knew his mother was outside to watch over him. But that wasn't he noticed, he noticed his mother looking out into the stars. The sight of his mother caused him to be curious which caused him to stop running and walked up to his mother.
As Asarirn approached his mother, his mother turned her head toward him and smiled. Her kind smile caused Asarirn to smile in respond.
"What's wrong, Arranis? Had enough of playing outside?"
"No, I just wondering why are you looking into the sky?"
Asarirn's mother looked back into the sky. "It's because I was looking at the stars."
"Why?"
Asarirn's mother smiled once more by the curiosity of her child's mind. "To see how much hope there are."
"Hope?"
"Well, look at the sky and what do you see, Arranis?"
Asarirn looked into the sky with many of the stars shined brightly. "All I see are stars."
"Is that so?" His mother found that rather assuming. Asarirn took a moment to think before asking.
"Then, what do you see?"
"What I see are many kind of people's hopes shrine brightly. Each have a reason to believe in hope."
"Do you believe in hope?"
"Yes, very much. It takes only one person to have a strong believe in hope for others to believe."
"How much do you believe in hope?"
"Enough that once they look at my star, they know that one person still have faith, no matter what happens."
Asarirn walked close to his mother and leaned against her side. His mother placed her hand on his head. Asarirn thought hard on what her mother said before responding, "I guess that makes two of us." His mother looked down toward her son and listened. "As long you have hope, then I will have hope no matter what. Once they seen my star then they can believe also."
"And this is why you are my child." Asarirn continued to watch the stars as his mother hummed a lullaby. The soothing sound caused Asarirn to become sleepy. He looked at his mother as his eyes become very heavy and then fell asleep.
Flashback end…
Asarirn laid back on the roof of a warehouse. I guess I will sleep here, tonight. The stars look so bright enough that I don't feel like moving. The thought of the stars caused Asarirn to remember that day with his mother. No matter what, there is always hope. Even what I become now, I can still have faith. He held his hand up toward the sky, reforming the Luna magic circle from before. A cloud appeared around Asarirn which was made up of celestial magic. Inside of the cloud consist of a lot of bright little dots, representing stars. In one hand motion, the stars to move around to form a woman wearing a ballerina. The celestial ballerina started to dance around the cloud with elegant and grace. Asarirn smiled by the sight of the dancer. He hoped one day he could see his mother again and show this to her. He continued to watch the dance until his mind started to fall asleep. His eyes slowly closing for him to see the next day.
As Asarirn was on the brink of sleeping, a sudden crash of wooden crates caused him to jump. Because of the sudden noise caused Asarirn to break his contraction on the magic. The dancer, along with the cloud, vanished into thin air. Asarirn stood up to see the source of the sound. Then he heard some yelling.
"Hey, get back here!"
"I guess you don't understand the concept of cops and robbers!"
Asarirn managed to see Ruby chasing after Torchwick. Of course she here. How convenient. Asarirn took a closer look at Torchwick. Isn't that the guy I ran into before? Then so after, the rest of RWBY followed after. Well great, there goes a good night. Asarirn watched as team RWBY chased Torchwick into a warehouse. The only difference about this warehouse it was marked with the sighs of "Private Property."
"This doesn't concern me," Asarirn said to himself before standing up and jumping on to the next warehouse. But, the moment he landed, he felt his own energy behind him. He stopped and hoped it's not what he was thinking. He turned toward the presence and found it to be at the warehouse that team RWBY and Torchwick had entered. "Oh No…" Asarirn responded before jumping toward the location.
Author's Note: So if people are wondering about the updates for this. The reason I could update daily (if people haven't notice) is because I had this story written, up to this point. Now, the issue is I don't think I could do the daily update, anyway. The only way I could update daily, if I decided to try hard on this. But the other reason is that I have school work and such. So I don't know what to expect from now. If people have questions or concerns, please PM. Thanks for reading and sorry for the cliffhanger, lol.
