Dark.

While usually thought of as something evil, many find comfort in the shadows.

But just as it can help those that cannot help themselves, it is responsible for the state the world is in currently.

Salem...you really are an idiot.


Below Atlas Academy, night

A young boy can be seen sneaking around, trying to avoid being caught by the securitybots. The boy had white hair, green eyes, a black shirt, black pants, and gray shoes. His shoulder had a picture of a crescent moon on it.

Just as the securitybots found his hiding spot behind a few crates, the boy vanished into a black mist. The mist covered all of the cameras, letting the boy go deeper into the academy's basement. Any droids he came across started sparking from their necks before they exploded. The boy created small black holes that removed any trace of evidence of the robot's destruction from the area.

With the Maiden Vault in his sight, the boy created monsters from shadow that attacked the entrance with everything they had. When they stopped, the boy found that the door was still locked. "He wasn't kidding when he said only a Maiden could open this. But, what's a good heist without a backup plan?" the boy asked rhetorically as a flash of green light enveloped the room.

When the light died down, the boy was holding a golden staff with a green orb at the end of it. Channeling his power into it, he shot a blast of dark energy at the Vault's door, shattering the entrance completely.

Walking up to the door, the boy saw a glowing sword made out of darkness. Holding it, the boy felt his power grow more destructive by the second. "He was right, this thing needs to be destroyed." the boy said as he put the sword on his back.

"I need to get this thing to Patch before I do anything else." the boy said as the shadows grew darker yet darker, allowing him to elude the security for the rest of the heist. Let's hope his father won't get mad for him sneaking out again. Or his sister for that matter.

Schnee Manor, night

The boy made sure to keep quiet so his siblings wouldn't find out what he'd been doing. "And where are YOU going?" his sister, Weiss asked.

"Just going to get something to drink. Is it really a crime to be thirsty?" the boy responded. Scoffing, Weiss went back to her room. Hearing a beep, the boy checked his phone to see a message.

"Thanks for the sword. I knew I could count on you."
