Miles called Ceodore to his room after he done with the training of the day. Ceodore sit on a chair waiting for his master find whatever he was looking for. finally his master bring to him two boxes. One was large and the other was squared.
-Open. -Miles ordened and Ceodore obey. On the first box was a sword that Ceodore reconize. It was the Alastor. -This sword i used to defeat one of my most dangerous opponents. -Ceodore nodded, he knew the story. -And know it is yours.
Ceodore's eyes widenend.
-M-m-master?
-You can't use a short sword forever right?
-B-but that sword...
-Open the other box. -Ceodore didn't know if he could take more surprise like that, he open the box revealing a shield that he also reconize. It was the Victoria. -You know how to use a shield, right?
-Yeah, i train like you to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to...
Ceodore mind going to tilt when he understand what is going n.
-Ceodore?
-... to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to...
-Ceodore?
-... to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to-to...
Needless to say, Ceodore love the gifts of his master.
They are in war. Humans and faunus were engaged in a battle to the death. Screams and war cries was the only sound that could be heard besides of the clash of the blades and shoots of the guns.
Blake look to the scene with watering eyes. Everything that she fight so hard was in vain. The peace between them was just a dream, nothing more. She fall on her knees, she cried and begged to them stop, but her voice was just a cry in the middle of screams of panic and terror. She look to her side and see her partner, her eyes were hidden by the bangs of her hair.
Blake eyes widened in fear when she armed Ember Celica and start to walk in her direction. Blake start to cry.
-Yang no. -She didn't stop. -No. Please don't.
She wanted to move, grab her weapon to defend herself but she could move. Yang was just inches of her and raised her fist, Blake close her eyes and wait for the blow.
*BANG*
Blake wake up breathing hard. This nightmare... was so real. She look around to her dorm and see her teammates.
They were sleeping without too much worry of the world, almost like they forgot what happened a month ago. The White Fang and Roman Torchwick. She could not go back sleep after that nightmare. She left her bed to walk a little, she give a last look to her partner before close the door. She hope that nightmare never happen. She walk until arrive in library.
That place always let her calm. A place what the silence is mandaroty and no one could open the mouth to say something awful or offensive. Sometimes...
-Blake? ... she use the books to escape from the reallity. -Blake. -She see books like portals to a entirely new worlds. -Blaaaakeeeeee. -A world different of what she live, where the discrimination not... -BLAKE!
She almost jumped in surprise after hear the scream of...
-Ceodore? -She punch his shoulder -You scary me!
-Sorry but i call you three time and you didn't respond.
Ceodore was wearing his night attire. The light blue shirt with a sleeping sheep stamped, white pants, bunny slippers and a sleeping black cap in form of a dog.
-What are you doing here Ceodore?
-I could ask to you the same thing, but you asked first so, i am having some troubles to sleep so i was about to heating up some milk. Want too? I mean, if you are having problems to sleep.
-Milk? Sounds... good. -The two start to walk to have some milk, but Ceodore swear to have see Blake's bow moving when he mentioned the milk. -Nice cap by the way.
-Thank you. It is a birthday gift.
Cafeteria
Blake sit on the same table that she and her team sit during the lunch time waiting for Ceodore. She didn't plan to come there but after Ceodore appear offering milk, her feline side spoke highly.
She is a faunus with cat ears and she hide this from the others, even from her teammates for a while, she was happy that they accept her like that regardless her faunus heritage. Ceodore come from the door with two glasses of milk and only one of them was hot, he give the cold one to Blake.
-Thank you. I didn't know that you is the type to drink milk to sleep.
-Actually is the first time i try this. Was something that a... friend of my told me when i was a child.
-Is the same friend that give to you that sleep cap?
-Yes actually. Something wrong with my sleep cap?
-Nothing, it just that i not a big fan of dogs.
They were in silence for a while, Ceodore end up burning his tongue with the hot milk and start to fan with his hand to cool down his tongue, Blake giggle at the scene, he frowned a little when heard her giggling what make her giggle more, it is hard to take Ceodore serious with him wearing these cloths. Now she understand when Ruby say that sometimes he didn't look like the apprentice of the Dark Knight. She drink her own milk to hide her smiling lips. She didn't expect smile after the nightmare she have, but something on Ceodore make her feel better.
-You have a nightmare? -Asked Ceodore.
-Why did you ask that?
-Your face was covered by sweat in the library and is not so hot.
-Well...
-Do you wanna talk about? I'm not Fernando but i can hear the other problems.
Blake closed her eyes, breath deeper.
-Can i ask something?
-Of course.
-But i wanna the truth Ceodore.
-Okay.
-I'm serious.
-Okay, only the truth, i got it.
-What do think... of what the others think about you?
She was not the first one to ask that to Ceodore, Pyrrha did the same question make a while. Ceodore look at her with a blank expression. Blake sometimes see Ceodore from alway, observing him, enough to know that he make that expression when he talk about something that let him uncomfortable. Ceodore put his glass of milk on the table.
-To be honest... i feel sad. No one never try know me better since the day i start to train with my... master. -Blake knew that the only reason to anyone treat him like that is because he is the apprentice of the Dark Knight. -When i was a child, i never understand why everyone act like hate me just because i born. So in the end, it was only him who cared about me. It was hard grow without any friend or family. For twelve years, only him was there for me.
-I make a idea how hard is.
-Do you?
Blake look to her side, her face showing sadness, truly sadness, Ceodore could see that.
-Everyone look at you and act like they see nothing. Instead to see a person, they see a abomination. Something that shouldn't exist or walk among the "normal" people.
-How did you...
-Ceodore. -She look at him. -I'm sorry.
-For what?
-For judge you without knowing you first.
-Oh, it is okay.
-No, it is not. I should know to not judge someone for their appearances. Even my team not judge me for my past.
-Your past?
-Yes, i will not give any details, just that i did terrible things, but they forgive me and accept me even like that.
-Even Yang?
-Especially Yang. -Ceodore make a sour face and Blake knew why. -It not personal Ceodore, it just that you are a friend with Ruby and she just want to protect her little sister.
Blake notice that's make Ceodore a little sad, after two seconds she understand why. Like Ceodore said, it always only him and his master since he was a child. This make Blake curious about something.
-Ceodore, if you don't mind me to ask, what happenend to your family?
-They... are dead.
-Oh, i'm sorry for ask.
-It's okay, i have to remember about them sometimes, but if you don't mind, i don't wanna talk about.
-Of course.
*CRASH*
Both of them look behind to see Koro and Ryan from team STRK, both boys with a huge bags on their backs. Koro look to Blake and then to Ceodore and said.
-You both don't see nothing.
Both nod and Koro run to the exit with Ryan behind him. A banana fall from the bag and Koro extended his hand through the door to grab back and then he close the door. Both Blake and Ceodore look to the door and then to each other. Ceodore asked.
-Uhhh, what was that?
-I don't know.
Weapon class
-... but the main reason of the use these dust be illegal is the radiation, these dust leave marks on the skin what for some reason... who can answer that? -A hand raised. -Ms Schnee?
-The radiation of that dust leave the skin more fragile and more easy to be injuried.
-Correct. Because of that, the use of that weapon only capable to use this dust on the war result in a lot weakened soldiers. Any questions? ... yes Ms Platina?
-Do you are really blind?
-For the tenth time yes, i am blind... what is Mr Bronzewing?
-But you once said that you not born blind, so what happened to you?
-This is a thing for professor Port class. -Almost every student make a "aww" for having to hear that answer by the unshut mounth of professor Port. The bell ring ending the class. -Alright students, this is everything for today and for the last time, my visual deficiency is not part of the class. Yes, i'm talking to you Ms Bronzewing. Don't forget you bag Ms Scarlatina. Stop bring your weapon to the class Ms Rose. I see you after class for not stop messing with your scroll in the class Ms Diela and no one care about your complains Mr Wind.
Every student leave the classroom except for one that Fernando knew who was.
-Mr Minuano.
-In what can i help you Ms Belladona?
-Oh nothing actually, i'm just wanted to say... thank you.
-It about your friend?
-Yes, Black talk with his friends and everything is okay now.
-I was just doing my job, almost i mean, he is not a student here right?
-But i still want to thank you.
-And you are welcome, but i gotta say, must be hard hide cat ears in a cap right? -She know that, is not easy actually wear a bow in... did he just say cat ears? Fernando tilted his head to Blake direction, something he never did to talk to someone. Blake eyes widened. Fernando get up. -Well, i have some business to take care. Until anytime Ms Belladona.
Fernando left the classroom leaving a surprised Blake behind. Fernando Minuano, the blind samurai of Beacon know that Blake Belladona... is a faunus.
Ozpin office
Ironwood give some news to Ozpin, really bad news. Aparentily a force who use miasma was located in a forest of Atlas and the new prototypes called Paladins were not match for their opponent who used miasma to fight. To get worst the one who used miasma was going to Vale in this instant, it was only two persons in Remnant capable to use miasma and one of them was in Beacon right now. Ozpin called the boy to his office. So there is one left answer to the question: Who is that person that is going to Vale?
Thanatos really was going to Vale? Actually Ozpin have some doubts about this. He never call attention for himself since he destroyed Arcadia so why he is doing this? What he want going to Vale? The doors of the elevator openened letting Ceodore enter in the office.
-Okay, in my defence, i just wanted some milk.
-It's not about your late night milk Ceodore, there is something that i want to talk to you. -The headmaster look to the boy with a serious face. -Your master is coming to Vale.
Ceodore eyes widened.
-Wait, wait, wait, did i hear that? My master is coming to Vale?
-Yes. He was in Atlas and destroyed some prototypes of robot from the militaries. One of the pilots said before die that he was coming to Vale. I was hopping that you could say why.
-I... don't know. Make more than a year since i left him.
Ozpin didn't know about that. He was in Beacon already make a couple of months, but he left his master make a year already?
-When was the last time that you see him?
-I really was Atlas actually. We lived in a house in the forest.
-Where is that house? -Ceodore didn't respond, of course he woudn't. If he said the localization of the house, the huntsmens, militarys and bount hunters would make a line to fight against his master one after one. -Ceodore, this information will be keep in secret, you don't need to worry about.
Even like that, Ceodore didn't respond, he just keep looking around. Ozpin sip his mug, of course he would protect his master even if he didn't need protection.
Later
-So he refuse to say?
-He just protecting someone important to him Glynda. I don't think he would give any information even if we pressure him.
-Why did you want to know were he lived?
-There something that is bothering me. About his master coming to Vale.
-But... if him is coming, what we suppose to do?
-For know nothing. -Glynda look to him like he went crazy. -If he really is coming, i want to have sure than jump in conclusions.
-Do you are saying that would have be someone else infected with miasma besides these two?
-Like i said, i don't wanna jump in conclusion. There almost no one who encounter the Dark Knight and lived to tell anything, so there only a some people that know how he really looks like. The only thing that everyone agree is that he use a big black armor. Nothing more.
-But if be really him?
Ozpin look to the horizon, thinking, but for the Glynda's fear, Ozpin only have one answer.
-I don't know.
Because truth to be told, Miles Thanatos is the strongest man of all Remnant.
