Sorry for my bad english. I've been work hard this week, so the chapter was a little late, but there is now.
-... when she lost the balance, i take the opportunity, was the only chance i have. I give the most powerful strike that i could do.
-Wow. Mr Thanatos, you are really strong.
Miles was camping in the middle of the forest with the boy that he start to take care. He decide to pass the time telling him some stories. The boy asked if he was a huntsmen because of his sword and axe. In the time, Miles said no. But told the reason that he carry the weapons. The boy then asked to him if he could talk about his past battles to him.
-I admit that Beatrix really give to me a hard battle. I take her shield to never forget about some of the only hard battles that i ever had.
-Mr Thanatos. How manny fighters you have to give your best to win?
-Only five.
The young boy was impressed like the times that his grandfather tell to him stories about his past battles. This time was making him remember of the days in Twilight. He couldn't take anymore and try ask.
-Mr Thanatos.
-What?
-C-can you... train me to fight?
-You want me to train you?
-Yeah. I wanna be strong like you and protect the people!
-To protect someone don't need to much, but be strong like me will need a hard training. You want to endure all the pain that i will inflict on you?
-If make me strong like you, yes!
Miles start to think if he should start to train... he still don't know his name.
-Boy. What is your name?
-Well. This was interesting. -Spoke Koro.
-Tell me about. -Replied Yang. -By the way, what you two are doing here? Not that we are not thankful for the help.
-One of these dust blasts hit Ryan some minutes ago, we decide to check what was going on...
-When he say "we" he mean "drag me along".
-... and we found your friend who was about to be disintegrated by one of those robots.
-Oh yeah. Thanks for the save. -Spoke Blake.
-No problem. Fortunately, the blast hit Ryan instead of some innocent. Anyway, what was all that about?
The girls didn't know what answer give. So they decide to give only to tell the half of the story, not to part what Blake will explain later.
-We were looking for Blake who was in the city, the robot was just a surprise. I think that they decide to use us to some field test. -Yang spoke.
-I guess make sense. -Talk Ryan.
-Okay, but be careful next time, we may not gonna be around to save the ladies.
Koro spoke with a cocky grin on his face, Ryan pointed to him and make a sign that says that he is cucco. The girls giggle to Koro's confusion. Both boys decide to whatever happened there is not their problem, so they said good bye to the girls and went back to whatever they were doing. Torchwick escaped and the White Fang meeting must be ended right now. Without nothing more investigate, the girls decide to go back to Beacon. In the middle way, Yang and Weiss notice that Ruby was a little quite. Blake was thinking in too much things to notice.
-Hey sis. Something wrong?
She didn't reply at first, But then without look to Yang, Ruby said...
-I will talk to someone tomorrow.
It was all she said. The entirely walk back, Yang keep asking to Ruby what was wrong, but just dodge the question. Weiss decide to let her alone for now. Besides, she said that was going to talk with someone and if she have some problem, she know with who Ruby gonna talk.
Beacon - Next day
After the day what was yesterday, Ceodore thought that he could handle anything that this day would throw on him. But the information of his master still was in the mouths of every student. It was worst than his first day at Beacon, everyone look at him not like a plague, but a menace. Some of them asking what he still was doing in the school, expecting him to be expeled or even arrested for "bring" the Dark Knight to Vale. He did the best to ignore everyone, but was hard because all of them was throwing him a insult or a treat. He only leave his room to look for his teammates.
Pyrrha standing on his side help him to be more patient, not wanting to show his bad side to her. He already damage her aura once, fortunately this time didn't make any permanent damage, but he decide to be more careful about his miasma.
-Where he could be? Nora is sick of so worried. -Asked Ceodore.
-I don't know. Ren don't dissapear like that. Nora told that this is not normal to him.
-Are you sure that you don't want to keep resting?
-Ceodore. I'm fine. I'm not gonna let you do this alone.
-But... what i did to you...
-Ceodore. Please, don't worry. You cured me remember? -Ceodore still was nervous, but nodded to her. Now she decide to ask something that she is very curious about. -Ceodore, what exaclty... happened to me?
Ceodore stop the walk, remembering the words of his master.
-Miasma actually can damage someone aura.
-What?
-Miasma can be the reverse of aura. While aura born inside of someone, miasma come from the earth itself. Like other things that come from the planet, is bad not only for someone body, but to his aura too.
-How this is possible? You master know?
-He lived with miasma since he was infected, he learn a lot about it. It seems that aura is like a positive energy and miasma is a negative energy. Both cannot live in the same place, but different from aura, miasma can be more aggressive, it hurt someone aura together with the soul to be more easily to posses something.
-But you...
-Is because my master infected me, not the planet.
-What do you mean by "the planet"?
-Miasma come from the planet Pyrrha. Somewhere from this big ball full of humans, grimms, civilizations, nature, is hiding a place where the miasma come from. The source is probably in the underground. Miasma go to the surface through the plants like flowers and trees.
Pyrrha knew about the source of miasma be on the underground, but the part of come from the plants get her by surprise. But still...
-How come be infected by someone is different by be infected naturally?
-The source of the infection, in this case my master, must want to his miasma work together with the infected aura, in this case, me.
-So he ordered to his miasma to not harm your aura?
-Yes. Make a entirely week to my aura and his miasma enter in harmony.
-His miasma?
-Yes. Be infected by miasma actually is some user give a little part of his own miasma to other body. The owner recover the part that he give with the time, while the infected have this little part growing with the time. Once his miasma become mine, take a entirely day to my aura accept this. With that come some side effects.
-What kinda side effects?
-My hair become black and the blue of my eyes darkened a little.
-What is the original color of your hair?
-I don't remember. Make so much time since this happen. I only remember that my eyes have a cerulean color.
Pyrrha absorb all the information that she listened now. Was so much about miasma that no one know, this make Ceodore and his master the only specialist of Remnant about that evil energy. But she discover that is true the rumor of a miasma user only infect someone if he wish, but also discover if a user can kill someone with the miasma, just need to want that the evil energy will energy willl do the rest.
The worst part that none of them notice a green haired girl listening the all conversation. With but not working with her, two soldiers leave to delivery the information to his superior. The green haired girl notice the soldiers, but decide to let her queen decide what to do about it.
Corridor
After what happen last night, Ruby decide to see the man what can help her with her little dilemma. Walking in the corridors, she was going to the office of her blind teacher. Once she arrive, the door open with Lie Ren leaving. The boy have a confuse expression on his face, his mind was distant. So much that he didn't notice Ruby in front of him and bump at her.
-Sorry.
Was all he said. Ruby know that he have some troubles with Ceodore, so he don't talk to nobody except with his partner. But what happen to Pyrrha is the reason that he come see mr. Minuano? Letting his troubles to him, she enter in the office and find the blind samurai looking at nothing.
-Mr. Minuano.
-Hello Ruby. Can I help you with something?
-Actually... I need some advice.
-Sure. Tell me what is bothering you.
Of course Ruby not gonna tell to her professor about the "extra curricular" activities of last night. He would make questions and she not gonna reveal to him that she is a faunus. But of course she didn't know that he already know. She spend a hour with a story to tell him.
-Last night i see a movie. About a girl who wanted to avenge her family who was killed by a grimm in particular. When come to the fight scene, have one more grimm like the other. In the middle of the fight, the girl was in a bad situation, one of her friends, a another girl, could save her, but at the same time, her partner of life also was in danger and was going to be killed. She would be able to save just one of them. The girl friend didn't know who save, her partner was with her almost all her life, but the girl was also her friend. Fortunately, the rescue come in the right time.
-And your point is?
-I start to think if this happen to me. What i would do if for example, my sister's life and Blake was in danger and i could save just only one of them?
-Tell me, what the girl friend did?
-She save her partner.
-This is good actually. Some people become so confuse that let both friends die.
-Really?
-Believe or not, I already see this happen. Two lifes in danger and only one to save in the short time left. Happen to a friend of mine.
-What he did?
-Well, he save one of them, but the other... well, you already know.
-He couldn't save both of them?
-Hurt me to say that, but will have times that you can do nothing about it. My friend make his choice and since today, he regret not be able to save the other life. -Ruby fell sad now. -But the life of the woman he save help him to feel a little better. The woman could go back to her daughter thanks to this. -Ruby look at him, still a little sad. -Look, the truth is that we cannot save all life's in danger, but we can save the many as we can. So while you are around, do your best to save all the people in peril that you find.
-Save the many lifes as we can. -She whispered. -The person would be forgive if let someone die to save another life?
-May take a while, but yes. Besides, because of this you fight with a team. Nobody can do all alone. -She look back at him. -If your teammates is not enough, you have to rely on any huntsmen or huntress around.
She discover that last night when Blake was saved by Ryan and Koro. She is not alone in a battle anymore. She have a team to rely on and her friends too if her team not be enough. This thought make her feel a little better.
-I just need trust in my team and my allies, so this never gonna happen to me.
-That's the spirit. But remember one thing. -She listen Fernando serious tone. -May have time that the shock of the scene in front of you will paralyse you, the horror will make all your muscles not moving. Put the worry of the scene in front of you aside and remember of the life that you are trying to save. Not forget that, okay?
-Yes professor.
-Good. -The talk stop. Ruby keep staring at Fernando. -Do you need more anything?
-Can i ask what is your weapon?
-Why?
-Just curious. Y'know how I love weapons...
-Is not very healthy.
-You talk like my dad.
-Okay. Look to your side.
Ruby look and see a sheath with a katana. So is a sword that he use.
-Can I look?
-Okay.
Ruby took the sword in her hands. She notices that the sheath was short and inside was another sheath, bigger and with a place to hold. Inside of the second sheath was a katana with a black colored blade, darker than Blake's katana. The blade felt weird in her hands, she didn't know why exactly. Some questions start to appear in her head. Why two sheaths? Maybe to use both to attack so why not just only bladed sheath? And why the blade of the katana felt so weird in her hands?
Ruby put back the katana in the place where was, thanked her professor for the talk and leave Fernando's office. After the talk he have with Ren, any other problem that the students have seems far too easy to him deal. He only hope that Ceodore is going better than him.
End of the (Edited)chapter. A little more of miasma and how it works. The talk of Fernando about make a choice come from the movie of The Punisher Warzone when the micro is killed by Jigsaw. Unfortunately, is true that all the lifes cannot be saved. This part of the talk come from one of my favorite RPGs Dragon Fable. Next time Ceodore will meet another "student".
This fic still is lacking of reviews. Don't be affraid or whatever is, leave a review and tell me where i need to learn. Just don't tell me about my grammar. So again, leave a review please. Until next time.
Edition: After create a account in DeviantArt and use a anime avatar creator to make what my OCs would look, I wanted to make their weapons as well. But I couldn't find something like a weapon creator to make a weapons in the RWBY style. So I make some drawings with the paint and was able to do two weapons from my OCs and one more that didn't have any owner. After think for some minutes I decide to give to Fernando the katana for him have a original weapon like the others.
So his last weapons was changed for a katana what have a unique abillity. If you want to know already what is that abillity look for my Deviantart page.
