AN: And so here is the first chapter of my story. Thank you all for taking time to read this, and if you enjoy, please let me know! Now, first chapter: BEGIN!
Dust, in the modern day, is mined on a corporate level and sold throughout stores in each of the Remnant kingdoms. One of the top suppliers of Dust is the Schnee Dust Company. The company is led by the Schnee family, and today the 8th generation has command, and is preparing on announcing the arrival of a new generation in their family. Anselm Schnee is currently the CEO of the company, and his wife, Theresia Schnee, is about to give birth to their first born. After labor has passed, it has been confirmed that the child is a girl. This girl's name is Weiss Schnee.
As Weiss grew up, she was taught by the best teachers in all of Remnant, for one day she was destined to take over the company. Anselm could not always be around because he was distracted with the company, buthe made sure to be there whenever Weiss needed him. Theresia made sure Weiss was never alone, spending time playing, studying, and relaxing together. Life, early on for Weiss, was happy.
However, for Anselm, life was going downhill. Ever since the Faunas War, the Schnee Dust Company got a bad reputation with mistreatment of the Faunas, a problem that the last 3 generations were trying to rectify. But when the White Fang, a group that was supposed to be the voice for Faunas rights, began to become violent, things became a lot more hectic. The White Fang had become a terrorist group, and the Schnee family was one of their main targets.
When Weiss was four, she, Theresia, and Anselm went out one day to go to a park in Atlas. Anselm needed a day off to let out some steam, and wished to be with his family. For a while, Anselm, Theresia, and Weiss laughed and played throughout the park.
But they were not alone. Anselm was pushing Weiss on a swingset while Theresia went to go rest on a bench for a little, after playing tag with Weiss. Then, a hand grabbed Theresia's shoulder, and a gun was fired.
Anselm and Weiss could hear the gun, but Weiss didn't understand what it was. Anselm grabbed Weiss and went to hide.
"D-daddy, wha-what about m-mommy?" Weiss stuttered, scared from Anselm's reaction to the loud noise.
"We'll go back and find her soon, we need to go get help first," Anselm explained quietly, hoping not to alert anyone hostile to their location.
Weiss fell quiet in Anselm's arms as he ran and found park security. Anselm left Weiss at the guard station, and led a couple squads of troops to where the noise came from. Anselm was originally running to find his wife, hopefully alive. What he found made him stop and fall to his knees in disbelief. Lying down in the grass was Theresia Schnee, a bullet wound noticeable in the side of her head, the grass caked in blood. Only one other thing was out of the ordinary, a White Fang flag was left by the body. Anselm went from feelings of grief, to depression, to unbelievable rage. The White Fang killed Theresia. The White Fang killed THERESIA!
THE WHITE FANG KILLED THERESIA!
Anselm Schnee was never one to show emotion. He was usually reserved, and acted as a professional. But when Theresia died, he didn't bother to stop tears from flowing. He didn't bother to stop himself from barking furious orders to the soldiers to hunt down the White Fang. And he most definitely did not stop himself from running to his daughter and holding her close to him, crying uncontrollably.
THE WHITE FANG WILL PAY FOR THIS, I SWEAR!
