The Man With Three Souls
Chapter 2: New Friends, New Revelations
Ozpin was walking very fast towards the landing platform. Behind him was Qrow Branwen, and he was walking equally fast. They both knew that they didn't have much time to save Summer, and from what they could tell, she was currently at Mountain Glenn. No words were spoken as their pace increased, until they were in the velocity of a full run.
The students of Beacon turned their gaze as they saw a fully fledged hunter and their headmaster run towards the landing platform. Some even caught the glimpse of dread in their eyes, and it disturbed them greatly.
What could force visible fear out of their headmaster, or a licensed hunter for that matter?
It was a question that wasn't answered as the duo continued to run towards the platform. A pilot was already inside of one of the bullheads that had landed only a minute prior to them arriving. Said pilot started the dust-engines and prepared it for takeoff as they jumped onto it.
"Get us to Mountain Glenn ASAP, Airman Darkh." spoke the headmaster. Darkh nodded as he motioned for the flying machine to lift. It did so and they took off, accelerating rapidly as they closed in on the bullhead's top speed.
"What can you tell me about the man that rescued Summer, Oz?" asked the red-eyed man. Ozpin turned his gaze towards the black-haired man behind him.
"I don't have any information regarding him, Qrow." Ozpin answered "But I can tell you right now that I do not believe him to be a threat as he was worried about her health, and seemed almost depressed at the sight of her state." Qrow nodded in response as he gazed at Ozpin with a skeptical look on his face.
"He could be faking it, you know." Qrow responded. Ozpin sighed. It was true, the blonde was an enigma and could very well have malicious intent towards everyone that he and Qrow sought to protect. It troubled the headmaster greatly, but it didn't keep him from holding onto the belief that the blonde young man was an ally in the making.
"I know that." he muttered before his gaze turned towards Mountain Glenn's direction "I just hope that I'm right and that Summer is still alive when we get there. Who knows what Tai would do if he found out that Summer died on a simple scouting mission."
Qrow could only nod at the words. He too hoped that Ozpin was right, but he wasn't as optimistic as his former mentor was. "Please be okay, Summer." Qrow thought "We're coming to get you." He turned towards the cockpit.
"What's the ETA, Teale?" he asked the pilot. The pilot checked the instrumental panel for a moment, trying to get a clear reading.
"One hour, Qrow. ETA is in one hour." answered Teale Darkh. Qrow and Ozpin looked at each other. It was looking dark, and they didn't like it one bit.
"I have a bad feeling about this, Oz." Qrow said with in a low volume. Ozpin nodded in response as he took a look at his wristwatch.
"So do I, Qrow. So do I." Was the verbal response he gave the younger man as he turned his agonized gaze back towards the forest beneath them.
"Uhh, Minato… you might want to get in here." Came the voice of the Kyuubi. "We have a situation..."
Minato sighed as he he stumbled up from the chair and walked over to the balcony that he and summer came in from. This was taking a toll on him, all of the death that surrounded him. The last thing he remembered was Kurama attacking Konoha, and during that time his elite guard, Biwako and Kushina had to mention the fact that he would never be able to see his son Naruto ever again.
It was taking a toll on him, and he wanted to mourn the fallen.
"What could be so important, Kurama?" he asked out loud "If you haven't noticed, I'm not really in the best of mood at the moment." Minato wanted to be alone for the moment. He wanted to be left in peace. "This bloodshed… It's starting to tire me out, Kurama. I don't know how much more I can take. Too many people have died in my presence..."
"Yeah yeah I know, Minato." Came the dismissive answer from Kurama "Seriously though, I have something in here that you should take a look at." Minato nodded hesitantly before a confused look surfaced on his face.
"How, exactly, am I supposed to get in 'here'?" he questioned. Kurama gave a low growl in response, which further fueled Minato's confusion. The kitsune was silent for a few seconds, which made Minato somewhat anxious. After a few seconds had passed, Kurama responded.
"Go back to the chair and sit down." he answered "I'll take care of the rest." Minato nodded as he walked back into the rundown apartment and sat down on the chair in a lotus-position, left leg folded above the right one.
"Okay, what am I go-" he said, but was interrupted as his mind went blank.
Minato, lying on grass, he figured because of the straws irritating his face, opened his eyes to a ceiling of stars. It wasn't dark, It was a weird feeling, considering he had just been sitting on a chair it was understandable. "So this is my mind, I take it?" he asked out loud to no-one in particular.
"Yes, welcome to your mindscape, Minato." came the voice from Kurama. Minato rose into a sitting position, legs in a lotus position. "Look to your left." he nodded before his gaze turned to said direction. His eyes widened at the sight.
There she was. Summer Rose, sleeping on the grass in his mindscape. Unscathed, her outfit complete with a white cloak that was acting as a blanket. Her breathing was even and calm. She was just asleep.
He did the only thing anyone else would do in his position. He froze. His mind started going into overdrive as he tried to come up with a response to the sight at hand. He was inside of his mind, yet someone else was there. This someone was a woman.
"Oh god I won't have any privacy at all anymore..." he muttered, still in shock. Kurama nodded absentmindedly at Minato's response.
His wide eyes turned back towards the mountain-sized fox in shock.
"How the fuck did this happen?!" he asked as he put his hands on his head comically. He got up on his feet and started pacing, slightly stressed. Kurama found this sight to be very comical as he chuckled at it.
"Remember when you did mouth-to-mouth on her?" he asked, and Minato froze in his place. Yeah, he remembered that, it only happened a minute or so ago. Of course he'd remember that. He turned his head towards the kitsune and nodded slowly.
"Yeah? What about it?" he asked. He swore he could see the mischievous glint in Kurama's eyes for a second when he looked into them.
"When you did so, I kind of pulled her soul into your body." he said, almost proud of his course of action. Minato stared at Kurama for a good minute, frozen in his tracks on the grass. The large fox started to get uncomfortable at the emotionless stare that the man in front of him was giving. It was unnerving. After the minute had passed, Minato shook his head frantically before he planted his face in his palm.
"Sorry, I brain-farted." he started before he removed his hand from his face "WHAT THE HELL WHERE YOU THINKING, YOU GOD DAMN OVER SIZED IDIOT?!"
Kurama yelped comically in response, actually jumping at the sudden change of volume coming from the man's voice. "I just wanted to keep her alive, somehow." he muttered. Minato's eyes turned soft as he turned his gaze towards the sleeping young woman on the grass. "I am inside of you, Minato, and because of that I have access to your mind and can read your thoughts. The thoughts you were having when you felt her pulse drop weren't good, especially considering the grimm are attracted to negative emotions. This was the only way I could think of. Hell, I didn't even know it would work."
"Yeah, I guess that's true..." he whispered back, before he registered the last part. Head whipped around at the speed of light, staying true to his moniker. "Wait, what the hell do you mean with 'I didn't even know it would work'?! Are you implying that you could've pulled her soul out of her body prematurely, leaving her stranded on this plane of existence?!"
The response Minato wanted was cut short as they both heard a groan coming from behind him. He turned back towards the young lady and saw that she was blinking with her eyes, eyelashes fluttering a few times. Her arm moved to support her as she rose to a sitting position.
"Can't a woman sleep in piece, dammit." she muttered as she yawned, stretching her arms up into the air. She then rubbed her eyes before looking around her. "Where am I?" she muttered before her eyes darted towards Kurama. Her eyes widened in fear as her gaze went up towards his, and she froze. She looked at the mountain-sized kitsune. She started hyperventilating as she didn't know what to do.
"Summer-san, calm down." She heard. Her head snapped towards the voice and saw Minato standing only two yards away from her. "He's not going to hurt you, Summer-san." She slowly bobbed her head up and down in a nod as she started to calm down. The hyperventilation slowly seized as her breathing calmed down to a normal rate. She closed her eyes and sighed as she clumsily rose from the grass, almost stumbling on her feet. She dusted her dress off before she once again turned her head towards the two other beings in the mindscape.
It was at that moment he realized something. "How did I not notice this sooner?" She had silver eyes, just like the one he was supposed to guide. "It would be creepy if I decided to ask her about them right away. I'll bring that up later on."
"So… What happened, Minato?" she asked as her gaze went towards him. Minato, being the somewhat socially awkward blonde that he was and still is, scratched the back of his head as an awkward laugh escaped his mouth.
"Heh… ehh, you see..." he started "You kinda… kicked the bucket." She nodded in response before she registered the exact words that had been spoken. As she did, her head snapped towards him.
"Wait, what?!" she exclaimed "How the hell am I dead if you're here?!" The Kyuubi snorted in response while Minato scratched his chin, a somewhat regretful smile plastered on his face.
"You're here because the blonde over there decided to try and resurrect you with CPR." Kurama said. Summer nodded in response before motioning for Kurama to continue his explanation. "Your body was too damaged and you had lost too much blood due to bleeding internally, so I decided that it was in both of yours best interests to transfer your soul into his body when he started performing mouth to mouth. Wasn't sure if it would work, but it did." Summer nodded at the straight-forward answer coming from the fox.
"What do you mean with the best interests?" she asked.
"Well, while your body was ready to die, you weren't." Kurama answered "To top it all off, Minato has been through enough shit as it is. I'm not gonna sit here idle while I watch him tear himself apart because he wasn't able to save you. It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission." Summer nodded once more before she smiled at the kitsune. The big fox was a kind creature. She liked that.
"Yeah, can't argue with that kind of logic." she said in agreement as she nodded once more, this time more to herself. She then looked at Minato with an awkward smile on her face and said "I guess I'll just have to get used to being inside of you, huh?" Minato nodded in agreement. The smile his face had was now a warm and happy one.
"Yep, get comfortable because I'm not going to pass away anytime soon." he said. "So, since we're gonna be stuck with each other indefinitely, why don't we get to know each other, shall we?" Summer bopped her head once more as her smile grew.
"I like the sound of that!" she exclaimed enthusiastically before continuing "I can start! As the two of you know, my name is Summer Rose! I am twenty-seven years old, a mother of two children and I am a huntress." The phrase "huntress" earned some confusing looks from the large kitsune and the blonde. "You guys have no clue what a huntress is, do ya?" Minato laughed awkwardly at the question.
"Hehe… No we really don't." He said "We're not really from this planet." she nodded slowly, digesting the fact that they were in theory aliens. After a second or so, her smile turned into an amused one.
"Huh, so you're aliens?" she asked, earning nods from them both. "Well then, considering the velocity we traveled at in the forest and the fact that there's a mountain-sized fox with bunny-ears inside of your head, I shouldn't really be that surprised." They both blinked before Minato chuckled. "At first I just chalked your speed up to being your semblance, but then I wake up here and… well, you get the idea."
"Hehe… you took that better than I thought." he said, earning a nod from the girl. "By the way, what is a semblance?" This made Summer think, as she rested her chin on her index finger and thumb.
"Well," she started "the best way I can describe a semblance is that it's an ability somewhat unique to you as a person. For example, my semblance is called, by the people that I went to Beacon with at least, Aim-Bot. Essentially, I it's almost impossible for me to miss my target with a firearm or a throwing weapon." Minato's eyes widened slightly at this. Perfect aim was something every archer or weapons specialist had dreamed of back in his world. "It also helps with recoil as my body always keeps a firearm steady to a hundred percent."
"Why is it called Aim-Bot?" Kurama questioned. Summer just started chuckling nervously.
"Ehm…" Summer began "it kind of works in video-games as well. All I really need to do is get a feel on the weapon's recoil and how the weapon fire's its bullets compared to its sight, whether its a scope or just the iron sight. Same goes into video-games as I get a feel of the physics that are programmed into it."
She then got a little saddened as she continued "When I went to Beacon we had a tournament in a shooter-game, but when they realized that my semblance translated into the game as well, I was banned from it." Minato blinked. This world was a lot more different from his world than he had thought. They had video-games, but they were mostly just hand-held consoles. Here though, they even had tournaments.
"Back to hunters and huntresses," she continued "we're the protectors of this world. We protect the once that can't fight back from either the grimm or criminals that the police force can't handle. Beacon Academy is one of the four elite schools that trains hunters and huntresses to hone their skills and give them live action under supervision of a trained hunter or huntress, while studying different things such as history and physics at the same time." Both Minato and Kurama nodded. It seemed like the schools were a bit like the genin squads back on their home-world, only they continued to study things that were relevant to other professions.
"The kingdom we're in right now is called Vale, with the City of Vale being the capital. There are three other major kingdoms called Vacuo, Atlas and Mistral." She once again continued after a moment, letting the information sink in. "Vacuo has Shade Academy, Atlas has Atlas Academy and Mistral has Haven Academy. All four academies work together to keep the peace that this world is currently experiencing…" She then frowned. "At least what the general public is experiencing." She ended with a whisper. Minato narrowed his eyes at the comment.
"Like a cold war, or just cloak and dagger?" he asked. She looked at him, slightly startled at the fact that he had heard her whisper at the end.
"Both." she answered, before her smile-reappeared. "What about the two of you? Why don't you start by telling me a little bit about yourself, Kurama?" The fox hummed for a moment.
"Hmm, okay," he started "I am Kurama, the Nine-tailed fox." Summer nodded briefly. "Back in our world I was once known as a demon for my chaotic demeanor. There really isn't much about me other than the fact that I respect the blonde idiot over there for what he has done for everyone in our world. My story isn't relevant to this world, nor do I like to share it with people in general."
"Okay." Summer nodded before she turned to Minato. "Your turn!" Said man smiled as he gazed up towards the stars. She was really enthusiastic about everything, and it warmed his heart.
"Well, My name is Namikaze Minato. Family name first by the way." he started "I'm twenty-four years old and I'm a shinobi." as soon as the word "shinobi" came out of his mouth, Summer's eyes widened before she squealed.
"OH MY GOD YOU'RE A NINJA?!" she exclaimed as she bounced up and down in excitement. "I've only heard about you guys in stories!" Both Minato and Kurama looked at her with an amused look on their faces.
"Let's not mention the fact that you were hailed as one of the most powerful shinobi to ever have graced the Elemental Nations." Kurama said, just to add fuel to the fire. Minato's amused face turned into an awkward one as he scratched his chin.
"Whaaaaaaaat?!" Summer exclaimed. "Is that true?!" Minato could nodded awkwardly. "Woooow! That's so cool!"
"Ehh, yeah..." Minato said "But that doesn't really matter now that I'm here on Remnant." he fixed his composure as he continued with his monologue "I like the art of sealing and creating new techniques that can be used during the heat of the moment, such as this one."
He lifted his right hand up and a blue sphere of energy appeared, hovering above it. Summer once again squealed in excitement as she walked forward and stared at it up close. "Wow… what is that?" she asked as she turned her head towards Minato's.
"I call it Rasengan, and it's an offensive technique that I created." he answered.
"Wow..." she started "What does it do?" Minato beamed at the question.
"It drills into the target and does internal damage to biological creatures." he answered.
"Ooh, does it explode?" she asked. Minato nodded.
"It can, on occasion." he responded before he dispelled the Rasengan. His tone changed into a somber one as he spoke "Anyway, before I died, I became a father." A tear fell from his left eye as he lowered his head. "It wasn't to be, however, as Kurama was forced into a mind-control illusion and attacked my home." He started sobbing as he tried to remember what happened. He didn't see the teared wide-eyed Summer staring at him in shock. "B-both my wife and I died that night and my son Naruto was orphaned." as he ended the sentence, tears were streaming from both of him and Summer. Summer moved in to hug the sobbing blonde and embraced him, forcing Minato's eyes open at the gesture.
"Y-You've been t-through so m-much..." she sobbed "I can't even f-fathom how h-hard it must be f-for you." She kept the embrace for a minute until they both calmed down. As they did, they broke apart. She released him and let her arms fall down as the man in front of her used his finger to clean the left-over tears from his eyelashes.
"Thank you, Summer-san." he said as a warm smile emerged. The smile warmed Summer's heart, as she didn't want Minato to be depressed or sad. Before they could continue, Minato suddenly widened his eyes.
"Someone is in the apartment." he said "I'm gonna go and check who it is." Summer and Kurama nodded in agreement before Minato disappeared from the mindscape. Summer then turned towards Kurama, the mischievous smile still plastered onto her face.
"So, do you like cuddling? You look really fluffy!" she said as she jumped up onto his head and rubbed her face on it. Kurama sighed as he laid down and gazed towards the huge monitor that appeared on the field of grass. Said monitor gave the duo the ability to watch what was going on outside of the mindscape through Minato's eyes and ears.
"I guess he did tell you to get comfortable..." Kurama muttered before he closed his eyes. "I might as well get some shut-eye for a few moments."
Minato came back to the land of the living, still sitting on the chair in the lotus position he left himself in. He could feel movement in the room, so he kept his eyes closed to catch the perpetrator off-guard. He felt the individual move with grace and stealth, much like a shinobi or kunoichi. He heard the faint sound of a revolver-chamber before it clicked, and a blade was drawn from a sheath.
"Well, I guess it's gonna be a fight then." he thought as he steeled himself for a fight. The wind moved down towards him like a sword was coming down on him, and just as the blade was about to touch him, he opened his eyes and bolted from the chair in a flicker of movement, vanishing from the perpetrator's vision.
He slid across the floor as the sword came crashing down on the wooden chair, slicing it in two. "That's a long blade." he thought as he observed the attacker. She was wearing an outfit that reminded him of Tetsu no Kuni's samurai, only it was red and she didn't wear any pants, just a pair of shorts that exposed a small portion of her legs before her boots covered the rest of them.
She wore a mask reminiscent of the grimm, and her hair was went down to her waste in a wild manner, like a lion's mane. Through the mask he could see a pair of glowing red eyes that turned towards him.
"Got any clue as to who that is, Summer?" he asked the woman in his mind. She yelped comically in response as she saw through his eyes who it was.
'Oh my god, that's Raven!' she answered in slight shock 'She used to be on my team before she bolted to re-join her bandit-tribe! What is she doing here?!' Minato nodded slightly in response as he pulled out a tri-pronged kunai from his sleeve and spun it on his finger before it landed in a reverse-grip in his left hand, one of the prongs going right above his arm. He held it right under his line of sight as he slid into his stance, bringing up his right hand in a ram-seal and his right foot forward.
"Anything else I should know about?" he asked her.
'Yeah, she's Yang's biological mother.' came the response 'Please don't kill her. Even if she abandoned Yang, she's still my friend and I don't want to see her get hurt.' Minato refrained from nodding as he got into a defensive stance.
"Okay, thanks." He answered "I'm gonna do my best to not kill her but I can't promise anything, especially if she's going to continue attacking me."
Raven drew her blade towards Minato and held the handle low with the blade high in her right hand. Her right foot slid forward two feet as she fell into her stance. "Doesn't look like she's gonna be talked down." Minato thought as he steeled himself for the oncoming onslaught.
Raven changed her stance momentarily, gripping the õdachi with both of her hands before rising it above her head, the blade going downwards. She dashed towards him before jumping slightly, twirling the blade into a vertical position and brought it down towards Minato. He dropped his kunai, sidestepped the blade and put his hand on her shoulder as he jumped up and kicked his left foot onto the wall before landing behind her.
He punched her shoulder blade, earning a growl from the woman as she swung the blade backwards with one hand towards him. Reacting quickly, he teleported back to the kunai, only to be punched in the stomach by the woman, seemingly prepared for the use of Hiraishin no Jutsu.
"Damn, she must've been observing us in the woods." he thought as he staggered backwards from the punch and threw up his armed hand, parrying the red-tinted dust-blade that was mercilessly swung towards him with his wind-enhanced kunai. The concrete floor under him cracked at the raw force of the õdachi. ""The raw power in her blows are devastating… Whoever trained her should be proud." he struggled to overpower her as he was simultaneously planning his next move. "Do you think she'll survive a fall from the building?" he asked the redhead that was stuck in his mind. She let out a humming sound.
'Well, you've been on the defensive the whole time so she hasn't lost that much of her aura yet.' Summer answered 'She should survive it.' Minato nodded in response as he pushed the õdachi back towards Raven. She struggled but wasn't able to hold up against Minato's strength as he got closer and closer. When he was close enough, his other hand shot forward and struck her mask. Said mask shattered and in a split second, before she could even stagger backwards, he dropped the kunai and vanished from her sight.
He reappeared behind her with the use of Hiraishin no Jutsu, teleporting to the Jutsu-Shiki that was lingering on her back and delivered a devastating whirlwind kick to the side of her head. As his foot's wrist connected, she was forced off her feet and was sent flying through the room, out of the balcony door and ultimately out of the building, narrowly missing the balcony railing. Minato ran towards said railing and looked down to see if she was still there. All he could see was a vanishing crimson circle, the same color as the õdachi's devastating slash.
He sighed as he turned and walked back into the apartment, only to turn back as he heard something in the distance. He squinted his eyes and saw a flying machine, much like the ones from the drawings on the cave wall.
'Ooh, that must be Oz!' Summer's voice rang in his head. He nodded silently as he walked towards said woman's dead body. He then gazed towards the box and saw that it had gotten out of the fight unscathed, and so had the sealing scroll. He sighed in relief.
"Just gonna seal the box into the scroll and then I'm gonna carry your body to the roof." he told Summer as he grasped the box.
'Okay, but why don't you just seal my body as well though?' she asked 'it's not like its going to be any use for me anyway.' Minato let out a sigh as he moved the box onto the sealing scroll. In the background he could hear the bullhead getting closer.
"Because they'd most likely want to confirm that your soul has left your body and that there was no foul play from my side." he thought as he looked down at his hands and frowned. "Just look at me, I'm soaked in your blood." Summer let out a snort in response.
'Yeah, I guess there's that..." she sighed in defeat. He put his hands on the outer circles and channeled chakra into them and in a puff of smoke the box was gone. He heard a squeal of excitement coming from Summer.
'OH MY GOD THAT IS SO COOL!' she exclaimed at the top of her lungs, earning a grunt from Kurama as he woke up.
"Please... for the love of god don't make that high-pitch noise ever again, woman." he muttered as his paws clutched his head. Summer blushed a little and Minato chuckled slightly as he picked up the scroll before he put it in one of the pockets inside of the trench-coat. He then teleported to the kunai that was stuck in the floor and picked it up and repeated the motion.
He sighed when he heard a ringtone. "I take it that is your communication device." he asked the girl.
'Yeah. It's called a scroll, by the way.' she answered, earning a groan from the blonde as a response.
"That is going to be so confusing, I swear..." he muttered as he walked towards the noisy scroll. He picked it up and got a little bit confused. "Okay, do I just pull the two pieces apart?" he asked Summer.
'Yeah and then there should be a big green button on the screen.' she answered. He nodded as he did as pulled it apart and slid the monitor out. He then pressed the green button. A picture of Ozpin was shown, and under said picture it said "Audio Only".
"Summer, are you there?" he heard from the scroll. He sighed, this was going to be hard on the old man. He bit his lip as he mentally prepared himself to deliver the bad news.
"I'm sorry, Ozpin-san. She didn't make it." he told the man on the other end of the line. "I need to speak to you though." There was a pause, as if he was contemplating on what to say. After a few seconds, he responded.
"We're landing on the roof of the building you're currently in." Ozpin said "Can you bring Summer's body with you?"
"Yeah, I will." Minato responded "I will see you there in a minute."
Raven appeared under the portal mid-air in a forest. She landed on her knee before her arms fell forward, hands pushing against the ground as she panted. The blonde man was fast. Too fast to be either human or faunus, even when he wasn't teleporting to his kunai, he was fast. She had gotten lucky with that punch, as she had only guessed that the man would appear there as she swung her blade.
She shook her head as she stumbled to her feet and sheathed her õdachi. She started walking, clutching the right side of her head as it was still in pain from the kick she had been on the receiving end of. Even with her aura it still felt like she had been hit with a bat.
It unnerved her greatly.
She walked into a camp filled with criminals. Most of them choose to ignore her, but the once that didn't looked at her in disgust. Words like "whore" and "traitor" could be heard from them, but they did not take any physical action towards her. She walked towards the main tent and shoved the cover to its side as she walked in.
Inside the tent, a man stood next to a wooden table. Said man wore an identical attire to her, only he had armored samurai trousers and shorter boots. His face was hidden by an identical mask to the one that the blonde speed-demon had broken, only it adorned a more detailed decor. Inside of the eye-holes, two glowing red eyes could be seen and on his belt a traditional katana with a black tsuka (handle) could be seen sheathed into a black scabbard.
"Master." she said as she kneeled in front of him.
"You came back without her?" the man questioned. She froze momentarily before she regained her composure.
"Yes, master. I am sorry." she responded. The man growled in slight anger as he drew his blade and sliced the table in a blink of an eye. The sudden sound of the two pieces crashing down on the ground startled her, and she visibly jumped.
"What happened?" he said, anger evident in his tone. She didn't waste any time and started on her explanation immediately.
"She died shortly before my arrival." she started "There was a blonde man sitting next to her corpse. His eyes were closed and he wasn't moving, so I moved in to strike. As the blade was about to cut him, he moved faster than I could track. We fought, and at the end he somehow teleported behind me and kicked me out of the apartment-building we were in. Forgive me for my failure." As the explanation went on, the man calmed down. To him, it was obvious that the young woman in front of him was on a different level to her.
Raven turned her head upwards as she heard her master walk towards her. Said man pulled off his mask and kneeled down before doing the same to Raven, revealing a pale face full of wrinkles with glowing red eyes. He then grasped her chin and looked into her eyes.
Raven's eyes widened in slight fear as the man held her face. She did not like him one bit, but she had to obey him. The man in front of her was a monster, and she knew it. Her brother had always told her to be weary of him, but he wasn't here to do anything about his aggressive actions towards her.
"Well then, my daughter," he started, "Seems like there's been a setback for my plans."
AN: and there it is. the second part of the prologue. In the last chapter I wrote that I had written half of this, which is false. I scrapped the first version and started from scratch.
Also keep in mind that I tend to write responses to reviews via PMs as I like to be more personal and openminded in how I write said responses, so you won't really see any responses in author's notes. Sorry!
I thank you guys for giving me the feedback on the first chapter and I was honestly surprised to say that many people actually liked it. I really didn't! Anyway, I hope you guys like this chapter as well and I would love to get some feedback on it as it would help me greatly.
Cya soon!
