Drip. Drip. Drop.
Drip. Drop. Drop.
Drop. Drip. Drop.
Drip. Drip.
Drop.
I open my eyes and stare at the dream bounded moon. It wasn't shattered like it usually was; if anything it was glowing like an incandescent pearl.
Whole again.
I've been having this dream for a while now.
As I open my eyes I see a ceiling with stars plastered around the ceiling. I always had a thing for stars. I don't know why though? A broken moon ornament was also hanging on the ceiling by a string replicating the floating broken moon. I looked outwards towards the coast of Argus, the actual broken moon's reflection lazily dipping into the ocean.
What's happening? Things can't go on like this. I thought.
I get up and begin to change my clothes. I put on a regular yellow t-shirt, jeans from yesterday and that's when I thought I was really going crazy.
The starry hand painted ceiling slowly but surely became real, at first I thought it was a trick of the eyes.
"Terra! Sis!" I panicked this time running around the house, but no one was home.
"Where is everyone?" I said I'm worried. Where were they? Did they go to the store? Maybe they are still in their room? No they would be here in the living room at the table eating breakfast. Wait, how did I get to the living room? I was in the guest room just a second ago. All of this can't be real, this is all too hectic, what's going on.
I run for the door to leave the house and as I put my hand on the handle. As I open the door, I'm shocked and terrified; the door leads to nothing but a place filled with darkness. I could only stare into the dark of nothingness, and for some reason, I couldn't take my eyes away from the darkness, I could only stare as then—
"Hmmm hmmm mm"
-I could hear someone humming and then a mystical piano playing somewhere; then I saw something in the darkness as it's looking back at me, and I could only blink—that small frame of time and the room around me was gone.
And I feel like I'm floating around in this bleak void.
"—JAUUUNE!? YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR THE BULLHEAD!"
I was shaken awake by my sister Saphron, as I tumbled out of bed and snagged my favorite pair of jeans, sneakers and hustled out the door with buttered toast in my mouth.
"Jaune don't forget your luggage and your shirt and sweater" my sister-in-law Terra points out as I look down, I almost left with only pants and shoes.
"Thanks Terra" I quickly thanked her as I ran back to the guest bedroom, as I put on a shirt, my favorite Pumpkin Pete hoodie and I went and snagged my luggage and Crocea Mors. I quickly unsheath it as I look at the clean steel surface, as a flicker of something on the reflection of the sword caught my eye, I quickly turned around to see nothing was there.
Must be that I didn't sleep well last night and it's affecting me.
*sigh*
Ever since that dream, I sometimes have vivid memories of the dream, but I remember that it always ends with me floating in the void. I don't know why but it feels like there's more to the dream; it just feels like it's meant to tell me something but what is it?
"JAUUUNE!? HURRY YOUR BUTT OR YOU'LL BE LATE!"
The yelling from my sister got my attention from my musings, and I quickly rushed to get my things and ran out of there to go to the bullhead.
"Bye Terra, Bye Adrian, By Saph"
"Hey! Why was I last!" my sister whined as she was a little peeved at being last guessed. The Arc competitiveness is strong with this one.
THIRD POV
As Jaune is running into the distance a blue butterfly was sitting in the window flapping its wings as it began to fly at the direction Jaune was sprinting to.
As the Butterfly is breezing through the small city, flying past the cars, buildings and people looking at their scrolls as it lands on a sleeping baby in a stroller. Landing gently on the stroller, seeing Jaune sprint the massive gap of distance; but then the stroll began to slowly move forward. The mother sitting on the bench next to it didn't seem to notice, as the stroller began to roll away as she just noticed as the stroller began picking up speed.
"MY BABY!" the woman yelled in utter fear and terror for her child's safety as she runs after the stroller
As Jaune heard the scream, he turned to see a stroller going down the side at high speeds as the baby was peacefully sleeping. Jaune was shocked as the stroller passed him, he looked on helplessly as at the speed the stroller is going at; he won't be able to catch up to it. He looked around as everyone was also shocked, Jaune saw a kid with a skateboard and got an idea. As he quickly took action on it as he ran leaving behind his luggage and quickly taking the skateboard.
"Hey!" the kid exclaimed.
"Sorry I promise I'll give it back" Jaune reassured the kid as he then jumped on the board as he raced after the stroller trying his best to catch up to it as the stroller was blazing through the stretch.
As one of the stroller's wheels slightly turned to the right; it was heading in the direction of the busy streets, past speeding cars. Cars swerved trying to avoid the stroller, and other cars trying not to crash into each other.
Jaune quickly stops looking at his surroundings; as he sees downhill a makeshift ramp. There were workers at a new building site two stories tall as the stroller quickly changed direction towards the docks. As the onlookers looked worried for the child, the stroller gained even more momentum going down hill. Without thinking, Jaune pushes himself forward with the skateboard and follows suit gaining on the runaway stroller; but as the construction workers were doing their jobs one of them speaks to the other.
"Hey Jacob! Did you secure the pipes nice and tight don't want any accidents and any lawsuit ya' hear." Said the man
"Got it Hector." Said Jacob he went to the pipes as he made sure they were tightened nicely.
"Alright—! Everything seems good." he said confidently as he was away from it but unbeknownst to them that one of the screws become loose—
"Everything looks ok,"Jacob assured the man.
—but then the crane started to move.
"Hey what the hell!? Alex! What the fuck are ya doing!?"
As the man in question went completely limp, he convulsed and twitched many times and sat down hunched over in a trancelike state, he moved the pile of pipes onto the busy sidewalk.
"Alex!? What the—!? Jacob go and get the someone to stop the fucking idiot! NOW!" Hector ordered.
Jacob bolted to stop Alex, Hector ran to the bottom floor to tell everyone he could to get them out of a dangerous area. However, he was a second too late as a loose screw fell down hitting a hard hat of a constructruction worker.
"Huh?" The man crouched, reaching and grabbing the screw and looking at it confused.
"Did they drop a screw?" he questioned and sighed that someone probably dropped a screw, he turned to see Hector who was panting and sweating out stretching his arm too tired to speak but yet tried to warn the man of the danger that he was in and he opened his mouth about to speak another voice was heard-
"Look out! Move out of the way!" An unknown voice called out. Everyone turned around as they saw a stroller blazing down the streets, as a teenage boy on a skateboard was warning people to get out of his way. Some yelled at him, and the construction worker holding the screw took a step back but tripped on a rock. Falling flat on his ass, a creaking sound was heard as a metal rod fell standing straight up, and at the spot where the worker was standing at right between his legs. More of the pipes kept falling wayside to the sidewalk, once busy now empty, due to them making way to Jaune on a skateboard as he saw the pipes fall towards him; as time slowed down, he could only hear his heartbeat loudly in his ears as he saw the pipes slowly approaching.
He noticed the blue butterfly on the side of his view, and a newspaper box. In his mind, he thought up something, it was really crazy but it's something that could help him and people around. It's something that he can only think of at the moment, he goes and leans in closer to the newspaper box as he dodges one of the pipes barely grazing his cheek. He finally reached the portable newspaper stand, he flung himself as high as he could. Swiftly took out Crocea with one swing, he cleaved through the falling metal poles, but he missed one pole as it split the skateboard in half and thinking quickly, he took out the sheathed sword as he turned it to its shield mode and put it under his feet as a snowboard sliding down to the makeshift ramp; he flew over the street as he's getting closer to the stroller. He put's his foot on one of the wheels, but it heated up his shoe a little bit too hot as steam came out as he cooled it down.
"Ow—!? I'm soooo not doing that again, but what can I-" as then he looked at Crocea and bit his lips as he muttered under his breath "Please forgive me".
As he grabs on the stroller and stabs Crocea down into the street as it make a scratch as if screaming in pain and holding on as Crocea was splitting the street as well at slowing them down but not completely as it still had speed and then a left turn was in front of him
thinking quickly Jaune hopped onto the back of the stroller and stomped with his right foot on the stroller as he drifted to the left and quickly drifted to the right just being missed by being hit by a car that got suddenly got a flat and then flew towards Jaune, he stomps on the shield as the wheel bounced of the shield as it flew out into the sky as it caused the shield to hit off one of the stroller's wheels cutting it off as it Caused Jaune and the stroller to spin out of control and then slowly stops to a halt
As he then looks around seeing that he ended up at the docks at the edge of it actually as he lets out a sigh of relief
As now the baby yawns awake as she now noticed that she wasn't with her mama and was in a strange place with a stranger she started to whimper then cry for her mother
And Jaune being Jaune tries to comfort the baby but as he was about to the wheel from the stroller that was cut off hit him in the side of the face which the baby saw and thought it was funny and laughed at what happen then the wheel from the car hits him in the face causing it the baby to laugh louder and then the shield flew out of nowhere hitting him as he was sent flying in to the ocean as he was looking down at the endless darkness of the ocean he sees a small blue light in that darkness as he for some reason sees the moon shattered as dark shadowy tendrils was slowly emerging from the broken moon.
"Mm mm mmmm"
And both the humming and the piano are heard again.
As the tendrils begin going towards Jaune and as the tendril grabbed his hand as it was dragging him down but again the small blue light flashes in front of him as defending him protecting him from a dark presence that is trying to claim him into darkness and it felt like a powerful being that was beyond his understanding-
He woke up everything looking blurry but as his vision clears he sees that he's at the docks and with a guy with platinum blond hair and golden yellow eyes looking down at him as he smiles to see that Jaune has regained his consciousness and seemed alright
"Hey you okay?" Said the man as Jaune pushes himself up and notices that the guy looks similar to him in age as he has on a blue velvet colored Jacket long Jacket with a loose Gray shirt poking out Slightly two, wearing two belts lazily with some jeans and velvet blue shoes and what looks like a journal strapped to his left leg
"Um yeah I feel alright thank you umm.." Jaune said as he was asking for the person's name.
"Oh, how rude of me." the guy chuckled at not introducing himself.
"My name is Krobelus but most people call me Kro." said the now introduced Krobelus or Kro.
"Oh, Jaune Arc, please to meet you Kro." As Jaune introduced himself and shook Kro's hand as he then remembered that he left his luggage behind and where was his sword and Shield!?
"KROBELUS! Why did you decide to leave me behind to carry the luggage, it's rude for a lady to carry a luggage." The girl coldly replied as she glared at her brother.
With the smile not leaving his face, he looks at his sister that almost wears the same look but albeit more professional.
"Oops—! Sorry Avindale." He said not sounding sorry, sticking out his tongue, looking like he forgot, and a tick mark appeared on her forehead; as she punched him in the face, Kro somehow skips in the ocean like a flat stone about 5 times. Which both shocked and worried Jaune, he turned pale at the sight he saw and immediately noted to himself: Do not piss her off.
Avindale straightened her glasses and let out a breath of annoyance for her brothers immaturity,
"And he's supposed to be the older of the two of us at that—psh—please."
She mutters under her breath in annoyance and anger as then she sees Jaune sweating bullets. As Avindale reached in her jacket, a neatly folded towel was taken out. It confused Jaune—how was it possible? She gives the towel to Jaune, and he thanks her as he tries to dry himself as well as he could; but then when he checks his right pocket, he goes completely still as stone. He became pale, his face changed to abrupt internal panic and shock as Avindale became a little bit worried, she continuously snapped her fingers in front of him as he fearfully took out the item in question, the bullhead ticket, it wet and ripped into small pieces.
She felt bad for him because his ticket was ruined, but then a soaked wet hand landed on his shoulder, making him shiver because of the cold wet feeling of his clothes sticking to his skin.
"Hey don't worry about it here you can have-" Kro had came back from his trip to the Argus coastal sea, he searched his pockets, but then noticed he didn't have the item he was going to give Jaune; but then looks at his sister And with a kind smile looks at his sister.
"Why Avindale, my dear amazing and favorite sister—?" he said to her
"I'm your only sister—Tch." She remarks and clicks her tongue.
"Can you please give him the you know what?" Kro nudged his sister, with Avindale glaring at her brother for suggesting the idea. She switches to Jaune, as he flinched under her gaze then turned back looking at her brother as he doesn't flinch.
"Why should I get out of this? Do you know what your declaration means for me doing this—correct?" She said with her glare not softening.
"Y-yes I do." Knowing what it means for them, and the expectation for what the future holds.
From Jaune's perspective, Kro walks up, leans in, whispers to Avindale; the shock on her face registers like a 900 lb dumptruck ass. Whatever Kro had said held weight; she looks at Kro, then Jaune, then up the mountain, as she pushed up her glasses. The brother's smile grew wider, and she reached into her jacket, took something out and passed it to her brother. Her face—unreadable yet in her eyes- a look of doubt, yet understanding. As Kro huddles towards Jaune wet, but kept the item behind his back and motions Jaune to come closer as he does.
"Hold out your hand-" instructed Krobelus as Jaune did so and Kro held out his and in Jaune's hand and he was shocked.
A Bullhead ticket to Vale.
Jaune accidentally cut his finger and flinched as he tried to return the ticket, but he didn't notice the drop of blood fell on the ticket.
A velvet blue glow lit up the ticket and quickly vanished as it appeared, as if it didn't happen.
Krobelus and Avindale had various reactions to what they saw—to Kro's smile broadening, and Avi with her trademark unreadable expression but curiosity burning in her eyes.
A voice was heard—
"The bullhead going to Vale is leaving in 15 minutes, I repeat the Bullhead to Vale is leaving in 15 minutes" said the speaker.
Jaune now panicked as he glanced back, but they disappeared, like they were never there to begin with. He was confused, but then didn't think much of it, grabbed his belongings and quickly left to get to the Bullhead.
As the world turns bloody scarlet red in the sky, the clouds become inky black as if they were tears in the sky, standing are the two siblings. They didn't move, just looking in the direction where Jaune was going.
"Did you see them?" Asked Krobelus.
As Avindale only nods and confirms what her brother said to her.
-flashback-
"He is the one we are looking for, the one who destroys fate, changes countless others' and ends destiny; just look at the effect he made just by his presence alone." Whispers her brother as she was shocked and looked at Jaune, then up the mountain, and countless strings were seen on top of others heads. One by one, the people who had directly and indirectly had been involved with Jaune had their string of fate cut; despite that, they're very much alive and breathing.
'But that's impossible the strings of fate and destiny only snap when those that meet their fate and their destiny claim them as they end up dying but they still live even when the strings snapped' Avindale thought and fixed her glasses.
-flashback end-
'How did you know Krobelus? Did you take a chance with that boy? You are never one for taking a huge gamble with such matters.' she thought as she looked at her brother. Despite his childish demeanor, her brother has always been calculating—even when seeing unfamiliar variables, he always approached with caution, yet with the boy he didn't seem cautious—why?
"It seems that the shadows are starting to be active every passing day, " Kro said as they both looked at the scarlet skies.
An enormous black hole up in the sky is easily seen, a single cut red string turns black and is pulled into the voidless hole, with a corpse of a construction worker uniform hanging limp.
A puppet with no strings.
Black ooze spills from his hollow and lifeless eyes, mouth and ears as his name tag is the only identable object as the corpse slowly turns into a husk of its former self. It reads—
Alex Petranov

In his hand looked like a ticket to Vale as Jaune was about to give back to Krobelus he accidentally cut his finger and flinched but he didn't notice the single drop of blood fell on the ticket and a small velvet blue light lit up and quickly disappeared as soon as it appeared like it didn't happen and the drop of blood also disappeared with the light, Jaune didn't seem to notice
But the both Krobelus and Avindale did with the two having different reactions to what they saw with Kro's smile broadening and with Avi still having an unreadable expression but curiosity burning in her eyes
But then a voice was heard

As the world turns with the sky turning into bloody scarlet red the clouds turn into an inky black as if they were tears in the sky, there standing are the two siblings where they didn't move just looking the direction where Jaune was going
"Did you see them?" Asked Krobelus not looking at his sister
