Sorry for my bad english. The internet was installed in my new house and i'm back for more. *chears* Thank you. Thank you. You all are very kind. New chapter of Sons of Darkness starts now. To the fic!
On a journey, travelers find all the types of obstacles. Mountains. Deserts. Cliff. On the forest of Mistral, Miles and Ceodore found a cliff that they couldn't see the end below. Looking around, they didn't find any bridge or something like that.
-Master, what we will do? We gonna go back?
Miles didn't reply. Just lowered a little the body and give a superhuman jump to the other side. Miles landed in two feets, he look back to his apprentice who was with mouth open with the display of strength. He should already know how strong his masteris. Miles give another jump and cut a vine from a three what swing to where Ceodore was. He understand what his master wanted and get ready. To Miles confusion, Ceodore give some coughs before jump holding the vine. The dark knight never gonna forget the scream that his apprentice made it when swung with the vine.
-AAAAAAAHH OOOO AHHH AAAAHHH AAAAHHH AAAAHHh! -Ceodore landed in two feets, Miles look at him with a mixture of shame and confusion. Ceodore put the hand close of his mouth and yelled again. -AAAAAAAHH OOOO AHHH AAAAHHH AAAAHHH AAAAHHh! I saw in a movie once.
Miles answer was give a karate chop on his apprentice, burying him on the floor. He also should get used with his apprentice strange behavior.
Ceodore once again was walking alone on the Beacon corridors, thinking of everything that he told to the headmaster and his professor. Remember of who he really is and his family make him ponder about a lot of things. He remember when his master reveled to him the truth about his father and what he did. He only asked to Miles take care of him because he was the only one in kilometers. Being a warrior, Miles have a high sense of honnor and fufil his last wish. He wonder how would be if he didn't have his master to train him. If someone else took care of him. If he still have his family.
Lost in thoughts, he didn't notice when a girl appeared in front of him and he bumped on her.
-Apologies. I wasn't paying attent-Cinder?
-Oh, hello Ceodore. You are okay? You don't seems very well.
-Just have a little hard talk.
-With the headmaster? Do not tell me you was expeled.
-No, but anything else would be better right now.
He spoke lowering his head, Cinder put a finger on his chin and raised his face.
-Please, don't make that face, i'm sure whatever is, the apprentice of the Dark Knight can solve with no problem.
-You overestimate me.
-You was infused with miasma. I can't think low of you.
-You know about the infusion?
-Like i said to you before, i'm studying miasma a long time ago.
-And come to the conclusion of infusion by yourself? You must be very smart then.
-You flater me with that compliment. But unfortunately, still have too much to discover and i'm affraid that i will not discover alone.
-I told you already. Miasma is dangerous, i cannot just tell you what i know.
-It's okay, i just need discover, but would be more easy with your help.
-So accept my apologies, but my master and the headmaster forbid me to talk about miasma secrets with anyone.
-Apologies accepted. Excuse me please. -She asked and Ceodore open the way to she leave, but before turn the corner, she give to him one last look. -One day, i swear that i will discover your secrets.
-Will be a very interesting day then.
He said smile to her who returned with her own seductive smile before turn the corner. Cinder start to walk back to her dorm room, really was a good idea make Emerald keep a eye on Ceodore, the miasma is a dangerous weapon against her, so if she know how to prevent Ceodore to use it against her, she will not have any problem. Also, Mercury told to her about his fighting style, every time he receive a hit, he use the impact on his body to give a instant counter attack.
If receive a punch on the face, he will give a kick.
If kick his stomach, he will give a headbut or a push with his shoulder.
If give a swip kick on him, he will put a hand on the floor and give any type of capoeira kick.
If hit his forehead, he will give a roundhouse kick.
If throw both his hands to the air, he will give a little jump and kick his opponent with both legs.
It seems that Thanatos teach him some martial arts, but his skills with the sword still is a mistery for now. She will order to Mercury to try another match against him, this time with his sword. He would like, he seemed to have a good time on their first match. Of course, Emerald have to keep a eye on him to discover more about the miasma. Thanks to her, she discover more about miasma than every scientist of Atlas.
Speaking of which, lets go back to Ozpin office.
Y'know already where
-The genereal Dragoon?
Asked Ironwood to Ozpin.
-Was informed that you predecessor was the one who took care of the situation in Twilight when Solaries got infected.
-But he never told me nothing about that before.
-James, do you know what happened with Solaries body?
-Was found filled with miasma.
-No James, after that.
Ironwood start to think, first his predecessor hide that information of him, but what happened with Solaries body never go through his head. James repected Dragoon like a general, he choose James to took his place before retire. Then he remember what he planned with the miasma user when he put his hands on him. If Atlas is with Solaries body, why nobody tell to him such important imformation? How manny scientists of Atlas would be saved if have access of a body with miasma that they could study?
-I don't know Oz. -He spoke leaving the chair. -But i will discover.
He leave the office letting Ozpin alone. It seems that even James have some secrets being hide from him. General Dragoon was a great man, respected by all his feats by his soldiers and even superiors. To think someone like him was after the miasma worry Ozpin a little. Since the discover of miasma, all people with power and resources are after a way to control that evil energy.
Wouldn't be different with Dragoon. The general with silver hair sometimes remind him o himself. What he agreed to do. Dragoon always wanted to get rid of miasma from the world, so much that he face the Dark Knight by himself and was some of the fell people who face him and survive, like Qrow and Glynda's father. He wonder if is his miasma that his making live for so long. Miles born in the time of war and is still alive with a feel marks of a advanced age. He would be lying if he tell that is not curious about the true potential of miasma. But the risks were too dangerous, even for him.
-You decide to play a dangerous game Dragoon. -He give a sip on his coffee. -What did you do with Solaries body?
CNVL Dorm room
Ceodore walk back to his dorm room and found Nora on the floor, hugging her pillow, whimpering something that he couldn't understand. Now, his master teach him a lot of things about girls, he even a got a girl back in Atlas, but he never tell to Ceodore of what to do in a situation like that, principally if he is not the responsable for make a girl act like that.
-Nora?
-Yes... terrible leader?
-What's wr-terrible? Nevermind. Something is bothering you?
-Ren is not speaking.
-I thought he wasn't the talkative type.
-But he isn't speaking not even a word. He just nod and leave me alone. -Ok. This is going too far. Ren not even is realising what he doing with Nora acting like that. He took his scroll and take some pictures. -What are you doing, oh terrible leader?
-Try resolve this little problem. Where he is?
-What are ou gonna do terrible leader?
-Nothing agressive if is what are you worried. And cut that of "terrible leader" you know that my name is Ceo...
He stopped, he remembered his real name after remember of the name of his parents. He is Ceodore for so long, he will stop be called by the name that his master give to him so long time ago? He didn't think about that yet.
-Terri-i mean, Ceodore. -Nora called him, getting him off from his thoughts. -Something is wrong?
-Just my past haunting me. Anyway, do you know where is your partner is?
-He go to the courtyard.
He notice that she isn't talking with her happy tone of always. This is going worst than he thought. He give to her his good bye and walk to find his teammate, but god help him if he gonna try talk to someone who hate his master. He tried once and the situation didn't end too good, fortunately, not end too bad either.
Workshop
While working on her baby, Ruby have a sad expression on her face. How could she don't have? She was in bad terms with her sister all because of her new best friend. She wish that she could make Yang see how Ceodore is a good guy. Blake and even Weiss can see that, why Yang can't? She was on the workshop because didn't wanted to talk to her who was with Weiss on the ballroom got everything ready for the dance. All because of that stupid over-protective nature of her. But she thought, if her father or worst, her uncle discover that she is a friend of the Dark Knight apprentice? Her father would break all school after Ceodore and give to him a warning about what he would do to him if he try hurt Ruby, her uncle for the other side, have a two big problems with the Dark Knight since a battle what they have before he start train Ruby.
The thought worried her a little. Ceodore is so gentle and kind. She didn't want to nothing bad happen to him because of her super protective family.
There is also the fact that Blake is always on the library making researches about White Fang and barely sleeping. She understand that she is worried about the faunus, but is putting too much weigth on her shoulders. She wished to talk to Ceodore, seemed that he also was with problems with his team, but she couldn't find him anywhere. She wish to have someone to talk.
Then she remembered of the blind samurai.
-I hope that he can help me with that problem too.
She grabbed her weapon and go find mr. Minuano.
Ironwood's ship
After two hours without leave the computer, Ironwood found nothing about Solaries or what happened to his body, only find that was buried in a graveyard close of Twilight. But he knew that something was wrong with that information. Everything in Twilight was destroyed in the battle between Thanatos and the other miasma's user, so why bury him in a graveyard of a destroyed village? Could be his predecessor was all that time hiding something from him? Ironwood wanted to believe that was a lie. He respected Dragoon as a general, but he know that sometimes is better keep secret about something.
When he was about to turn off the computer, he finally find a imformation about the deceased knight of the Arc family. To think that Ceodore is the last one of them, what the people would think. Looking on the data, he saw that in fact Solaries was arrested by the Atlas military for kill innocents using miasma, something that never go to the public or to his ears. Then he saw a image of a capsule like the one he give to Ozpin mounths ago for reasons and saw inside a man with blonde hair with a huge cut on the chest.
-Dear lord. -He spoke not believing in what he was seeing. -All that time, Atlas have a body of someone infected.
He knew that the man in the image was nobody than Ceodore's real father. Ironwood start to think of what he gonna do with that imformation.
Library
Ren don't remember when was the last time he listen absolutely nothing. Be Nora's friend means that she not stop talk for a whole minute, but he need sometime for himself. But the silence was interrupted by a foot stomping the table that he was sitting. He look ahead and saw the apprentice of the man he swore to kill.
-We need to talk. -Spoke Ceodore. -NOW!
End of the chapter. Ceodore is not happy with the way Ren is threating Nora lately and Cinder have a pair of red eyes spying him. Ironwood discover that the body of Solaries was all the time in Atlas since his death. Ruby will have another talk with Fernando.
All in all, everything is a whole mass, huh? One of these problems will be solved in the next chapter. Will Ceodore put some good sense on Ren's head? Find in the next exciting chapter of Sons of Darkness. "Make a while that i wanted to write that line". Until next time.
