I'm glad some people are enjoying this story! This is my first fanfic, and seeing two reviews that say they like this warms my heart. If anyone would like to know what Aurae looks like, I could post a photo somewhere since he's based off my hunter guardian. I'll have to do that later though. These updates may be short but they appear every maybe three days. Making a longer chapter would take to long and make me update maybe weekly. Since you guys don't know, this takes place during the initiation for Beacon. Now back to the story!
"Hurry! We have to help him!" The girl in red exclaims, pulling out her—holy crap! A compacted sniper rifle that can expand? A-and it turned into a f—king scythe?!
'It's like a dream come true!' Aurae thinks, and if he was a human or an awoken, he would be drooling. He completely forgot about the beast above him though, but another girl with blonde hair shot at it with her gauntlets. Which results in the beast getting thrown off of him.
'Stop thinking about your obsession over sniper rifles and focus on the fight idiot!' V demanded.
If Aurae could, he would be frowning right now, but he does listen to his ghost. He tightens his hold around the Crimson's grip and shoots at some more of the black demons. He quickly stands up and dusts himself off after seeing that the rest of them had run away due to fearing the power of him and the girls. Crimson transmats away as well.
'Could say they ran away with their tails tucked between their legs right?' Aurae says.
'You get more irritating as time passes by.' V huffed.
'Huh, I lost count of how many years we've been together.' Aurae wonders.
"Are you alright?" The girl wearing red asks. Aurae just realized she had silver eyes. Weird, maybe an Awoken? Or maybe some blood of an awoken and a human together? Never heard of that before. All guardians usually have no time for relationships.
"I'm fine, thanks." Aurae says curtly, sparing them of any long sort of an answer. Aurae doesn't like talking, he's surprised he's even speaking to them. He hasn't spoken in awhile until...Cayde died.
Killing Uldren didn't help much. Even obtaining Cayde's sparrow, cloak, and hand cannon couldn't help with the sorrow he felt and the burden he carried.
'It's all my fault.' Aurae thinks, hands starting to shake. And if his helmet was off, the girls would see his 'ears' drooping.
'It's not your fault, guardian. We must not dwell on the past, we must look forward for the future.' V murmurs.
He nods to what seems like himself, then shakes his head to get rid of his thoughts, which is becoming a habit.
"I've never seen armor like that around. Are you from Atlas?" The blonde girl asks.
'Atlas?' Aurae muses.
He then nods, not wanting to say anything about him being a guardian. They probably wouldn't believe him anyways.
"Are you here to attend Beacon?!" Red asks with her eyes practically showing stars.
'Is that...normal?'
He'd rather not talk, so he just nods in response. Beacon's a school most likely and this would give him something to hang onto if anyone asks him of anything.
"No way, he worked like he has the experience of a Huntsman. He can't be that young. He probably is a Huntsman." The blonde one insists.
"REALLY?! OH MY OHM(I forgot how to spell this, maybe I should watch RWBY again.) CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH?" Ruby says, looking up at Aurae with an awestruck gaze.
Aurae raises his hands and shakes them in a no motion. His head shaking as well.
"Not a talkative person huh? What's your name by the way? I'm Yang and this is my little sister, Ruby." Yang, the blonde one, introduces herself and Red.
The yellow-eyed girl with a big black bow on top of her head, who hadn't talked until now, says, "Really? We don't even know who this guy is. We have to finish our initiation, we all haven't even found the relics yet."
Ruby frowns, "Right! You're not even supposed to be here. Only maybe a few Grimm. Who are you really? U-unless you're on a mission of course! Sorry for interrupting you if you are!"
Aurae shrugs, "My name's...Hunter. And no, I'm not on a mission." He answers lamely.
'Seriously, Hunter? You couldn't think of a better name?' V asks incredulously.
The girl in complete white—Aurae doesn't understand why she's wearing all white, that would be a huge disadvantage and she'd be instantly spotted in a fight—points at him with her sword and says with an accusing voice, "You're not from Atlas. Your armor is completely different. Are you part of the Whitefang?"
If looks could kill, he'd be dead.
He quickly shakes his head again. He needs to stop doing that.
The girl's eyes narrow, "We're taking you back to Ozpin when we're done with our initiation. You better not try to do anything stupid, or you're dead. Your aura won't be able to save you, Hunter." She says his 'name'—Hunter—with venom.
'That's not nice.' Aurae thinks with a frown, but agrees to not try to do anything.
He reluctantly follows Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang—Yang told him the rest of their names after Weiss' talk—as they try to find their 'relic'.
