Chapter 12
Embracing Flames
Fade had walked towards the blazing end of the Onyx Capital only to see the fires spread even more. Noticing the skies without any more seeders covering it, the night sky began to show little. Fade walked over towards the shattered remains of the walls, fallen gears, and crashed ravens. Fade stopped and rushed over to find just outside of the Mural floor a dead blonde haired woman lying of the ground with her eyes closed. Her chest had been stabbed and slashed open with somewhat by the looks of it katanas. Fade fell to his knees, his armor made a clunky noise of equipment clanking against each other.
His heavy Lancer dropped onto the ground beside her body reaching out to grab her and embrace her he stopped. Looking downward onto the ground her cog tags were visible as he looked at them. He noticed her gear number, name, date of birth, and small initials. Fade read them in his mind as he remembered what they were meant for him and his mother.

Fade could see in his mind the family picture they took in remembering they're father and respecting what he did for them. His grandparents along with cousins all happily together before the Emergence of the Locust.
Fade gritted his teeth in anger knowing his mother had died today and he couldn't do anything to save her or Bronx. Taking the tags he honored his mother for what she had done on this day. Fade bowed his head for her remembering the good times and bad times they had. His mind reminded him of what happened to his father Mason who had died during the Pendulum Wars. Fade looked at her left extended hand holding within it was a piece of ripped armor from a Locust Leader. Fade grabbed it and noticed what it was a Locust insignia of their Known leader "Karn".Fade gripped it tightly reaching for his Lancer he stood up ready to face his next foe. His anger was fueling his actions his heart pumped more adrenaline. Fade walked forward towards the wrecked battle ground his mother had fought on.
