Sorry for my bad english.
Ceodore always wonder about his name. Didn't have any meaning, it was just a name, something rare in Remnant those days. He decide to ask to his master whem he done with the training. He never ask anything during the training. This make his master angry.
-Master.
-What?
-Why did name me Ceodore?
-I told you about my parents?
-Uhh yes, your mother name was Eleodore and your father was Ceon.
-Didn't you get it?
-Uhh...
Courtyard
When Ceodore come to Beacon, he thought that would be a good experience to him. He never go to a combat school before, but be trained by one of the strongests warriors of Remnant was enough to make him good enough to be among the bests of the bests. Was a little awkward to have teachers after so long time following only the teachings of his master, but he wonder too about what the Beacon staff think about him.
His first encounter with Glynda was not the best start.
*Flashback*
Ozpin office
Ozpin once thought that nothing could surprise him, but this end on this day. Not making too much time, he and Glynda start to check some strange activite on the forest around Vale. In the forest, Glynda found a black haired boy who she was attacking, when she told to him the boy's name, he didn't know what expect. Ceodore, the apprentice of the Dark Knight wanted to talk to him.
After a little trip back to Beacon, Ceodore was in his office surrounded by the Beacon staff, all armed and staring at him like a war prisioner. Needless to say, Ceodore was nervous, but when Glynda asked what he wanted, the answer surprised everyone in the office.
-Do you wanna join my academy?
-Y-yes.
-You really expect to us to agree with you, after you be trained by him? -Glynda stated.
-T-t-this because i'm asking for.
He said in low voice. Ozpin could see that he was nervous. But this was a truly surprise. Ceodore wanted to study in Beacon to be a huntsmen.
-Ceodore... there a lot of requirements to study in a academy like Beacon.
-I read the requirements. I think i am able to be accepted.
-If about your combat skills, this is not enough to be accept in my academy. How about your academic historic?
-He... teach me everything i need about grimms and Remnant, since he was part of the story.
No one in the room could tell if was a joke or not.
Ozpin wanted proofs, so he made both a combat test and a redaction about a Weavern. He got a grade enough to join Beacon, even with the protests of the professors. Ozpin is a man of word so Ceodore was a new student of the academy. Some professor still were quite adamant with the decision, but Port and Minuano seemed fine. After a while, seemed that the professor already get used to his presence.
But all of that didn't matter when come to his master. Ceodore would be lying if he said that he not worried about Miles coming to Vale. Miles told to him that once he go through the door of the house that they live and go to be a huntsmen, he didn't need to come back. That is mean he left the house?
Maybe.
Without Ceodore around, he don't have any reason to stay in that house.
When the headmaster say that he was come to Vale, he didn't know how to feel. He should be happy to have a opportunity to see his master again? He should be worry for what he plan to do in Vale, whatever is? How this gonna affect his life in the academy? So manny questions and seems that all have bad answers.
-Ceodore!
He get out of his thoughts by the voice of his partner.
-Hey Pyrrha.
-You are okay? You look worried.
-I just something that i'm still trying to understand if is a good or bad new.
-What is? -Ceodore broke the eye contact. -C'mon Ceodore. You can trust me. -He still seems to doubt. Pyrrha put a hand on his shoulder. -Whatever is, let me try help.
-Okay. But don't tell to anyone. I don't wanna this cause a problem.
She nod looking to the serious expression on Ceodore face. Unaware of some red hooded girl looking at them from above.
Ozpin office
Ozpin couldn't take this subject out of his mind. Looking to the city, wondering what he was planning to do. Maybe just give a look on his apprentice, to have sure that he is okay. He hope that is the reason.
He decide to let this informantion only to Beacon staff to know. If the notice that the Dark Knight is come to Vale go around, he could already see the panic on the citizens of Vale.
All the fear.
It is impressive actually that how just a man can cause so much commotion. Of course, this man destroy a entirely kingdom alone. Ironwood forces already are on the chase of that man. He didn't expect them to succeed. Ceodore wouldn't cooperate, no against the man that raise and train him since he was a child.
*Flashback*
Ozpin and Glynda were looking to Ceodore who succeed in both combat test and written test. Before make him a real student of Beacon, he need him to answer some questions.
-So Ceodore, before we go any further in your inscription on my academy, i wish to know a little about you.
-What the folks tell about me is not enough?
-I wanna hear from you Ceodore. How come you become his apprentice?
-Well... i don't remember to much. I think i was four years old. Something... bad happened and i was alone in a village.
-Do you remember what happened to the village? -Glynda asked.
-No, i don't. I was just a child, so there is not more that i could do instead of cry. He must have hears and find me.
-So he take you?
-No at first. He decide that i was not his problem so he leave me in the village.
None of them were surprise with his actions. Actually, would not be surprise if him is the responsable for the destruction of that village. But the question now is: Ceodore once thought in that possibility?
-If he let you alone, how come you become his apprentice?
-Well, a week later he came back. He never told me why, but he make sure to me understand that isn't was because of me. I was sitting in front of a river and he walk through in front of me. Without nothing to do, i decide to go back to my house or what is left. Whem i came back, he was sitting in the fountain of the village, he walk throught in front of me again but this time he said 'come'.
-So the train finally start after that?
-No actually. He start to tell me stories about his past battles. After see that he was strong, i ask him to training me.
-Ceodore, do you remember of your family?
-My family... is dead. Is all i know and no, my master is not the responsable.
-And where did you exactly come from? -Glynda asked. -I mean, Ceodore is not a name very common in the four kingdoms.
-Actually... Ceodore is not my real name.
-What?
-Wait. -Glynda interrupt. -If Ceodore is not your real name, so what is your real name?
-My real name...
Why did he get Ceodore and make him his apprentice?
This was one of the question that most is eating his curiosity. Glynda's mind are in the same way.
Corridor
Whatever happen to Ceodore's village, she still think that Miles is the responsable regardless of what Ceodore says. If he was there, of course he was the responsable, but he would not believe on that. Miles take care of Ceodore since he was four years old, train him, teach him everything that he know. How could he think that Miles was the one who destroyed his village?
-Something is bothering you?
She turn around to look to a pair of sunglasses.
-It's about the news.
-Oh right. A bit shocking huh?
-A bit?
-Alright, is a news of catastrophic proportions. Anyone else know about?
-Besides General Ironwood and the Beacon staff, only Ceodore.
-But is not that what are in your mind right?
Glynda wonder how he would read the people s weel being he is a blind man.
-It... Ceodore... and Miles. Their story together, the infection with miasma. Did you know that Ceodore's hair was not black before be infected?
-No, i didn't know. Anyway, their story together bother you because?
-Ceodore's village was destroyed and he don't remember how. -She averted her gaze. -I think that Miles is the responsable.
-Do you have any proof?
-He was there Fernando. -She look back at him. -What more proof you need?
Fernando start to think about.
-Well, Miles never call attention to himself like that. A entirely village destroyed would call attention and...
Glynda eyes widened. How come she or Ozpin didn't think on that before? If a village was destroyed by a grimm attack or by him, would be some record about the event.
-Excuse me Fernando. I have some researches to do and thank you. -Said Glynda walking away.
-You... are... welcome?
Said Fernando to nobody. Now that Glynda left, the conversation was over, he start to walk around without destination. Everything seemed fine until he feel someone with fear and curiosity at the same time. It was none than Ruby Rose, the adorable team leader of RWBY and weapon lover. She finally stop bring her scythe to the class and start to pay attention on his lectures. She was cleary agited with something.
-Ms Rose?
-Eep! -She jump on the Fernando who carry her. -Oh h-h-hi Mr Minuano.
He put her on the floor.
-Are you okay?
-M-me? I'm fine, thank you for asking.
-You seems nervous.
-M-me? N-nervous? Where d-did you get that i-idea?
-You are stammeging.
-Oh, i-i-i just make something that maybe left Weiss angered with me. J-j-just that.
She try think in any excuse. She could not use her puppy eyes with a blind man. So she need think in another thing to not let Fernando know what she know.
-Ms Rose. -He started. -You are a bad lier. -And he finish. -Tell me what is going on right now.
-W-w-well... i heard Ceodore saying something.
Fernando raise a eyebrown, what Ceodore could say that make her... oh no.
-Ms Rose. -He began again. -This imformation cannot leave the academy. You told to someone else?
-O-o-only to my team... who have my sister... who don't like Ceodore too much... and who is kind of gossip.
She just giggle a little and Fernando scratch the back of his head, it's better tell this to Glynda before is too late. But when he was about to ask for Ruby's help, both hear a scream coming from the corridor away. Ryan Forest was running like a he was on fire, running on the floor to the walls and the ceiling, he fall but didn't stop running like he was being chase by...
Fernando start to feel all of the students becoming scared or getting ready for the battle of their lives,he heard so many voices and feel so many emotions for the first time after so long since he train his senses, he could not listen anything clearly. Some of them screaming that they are all dead, some teamleaders trying to increase the moral of his teammates, some calling to their parents on their scroll saying that they love them and finally, some students begging for the professors protect them from... the... Dark... Knight.
Fernando sighed.
-Ms Rose, please use your scroll too call for Goodwitch. This not gonna end so soon.
