"Talk"
'Thought'
"Greetings Lady Bureiku, the Priestess Of Darkness, what is the reason for me to be honored by your visit today?"
Bureiku can't remember a time when she wasn't by her title, though she just ignored that thought and just stood at the center of a large holy church throne room, and looked at the person sitting at said throne, who was none other than Sanctus, the Supreme Priest and Ruler of Fortuna, he was definitely a lot more older the last time she saw him
"I wished to see my son, Credo, I heard that he was here at your castle."
Blake spoke to her Holiness of her desire, there was obvious respect in her tone but she was very casual and not 'I GRAVEL AT YOUR FEET', unlike other people she see every day do to her
"Ah yes, the Supreme General of our Holy Knights, the last I saw him, he was doing some light sparring with one of your Royal Nyxs, Angela, I do believe her name was, shall I guide you to the training room?"
Sanctus spoke with such a kind tone, almost like speaking with your Grandpa that was filled with wisdom and contempness, though despite that, Beradon'na just shook her head and decline his offer
"No, your Holiness, I know my way, thank you for sharing your kindness with me."
Blake bows her head in thanks before turning around and was about to walk away, no longer having a reason to waste his time with her curiosity, though before she could leave him to his important matters
"Young Belladonna, have you managed to fix Yamato, if you don't mind me asking?"
Belladonna couldn't help but winced at this, but wasn't to bothered for Sanctus knowing her real identity, since he already found out about it a couple years ago, which definitely increased her trust in him for keeping such a secret, though she always felt uncomfortable whenever he says it out of nowhere, and without warning sometimes
"Unfortunately I did not, it's almost like it refuses to be put back together."
Blake couldn't help but feel upset about this, being unable to fix what she broke, it will always cause her guilt to destroy something so important to her... late husband...
"You know, we could help fix that 'Holy Relic' of yours, with Agnus within our ranks it could be possible?"
But Sanctus offer was once again declined by the Cat Faunus, as her grip on the weapon grew tight
"I appreciate your offer, but this is the one thing I can't trust you with, I hope you have a nice rest of your day."
Though despite having high respect for the person in front of him, Blake did not trust him with 'Yamato', though there were hardly anyone she would willingly give such a important item to, only thinking of one other person that she could say yes to without hesitation, though it wasn't Sanctus, without saying another word she finally left the throne room, leaving behind the old man Priest by himself, who lets out a small hum and wore a small smirk on his wrinkly face
"It's only a matter of time..."
Meanwhile, at a very large room of the castle, two certain individual could be seen sparring with one another in said room, a harmless yet furious fight that would leave anyone in awe and shock, and such a battle was between Angela Lansbury, the leader of the 'Royal Knights Of Nyx', and Credo Beradon'na, the eldest child of 'Beradon'na Family', even though this was nothing more than training, they were not playing around and did not give one another anytime to breathe, the Maiden Knight slamming her very large spiked mace, called 'Domestic', onto the Supreme General black gold sword, called 'Stygian Durandal', no one was playing any games, though as they were continuing their hard struggle scuffle, another person was also in the training room, a stuttering alchemist and high-ranking official in the 'Order of the Sword', this was Angelo Agnus, and he was analyzing the fight and taking detailed notes, no doubt everything he was seeing was important to whatever he was working on right now
"Everything seemed to be going very smoothly..."
"What's going smoothly?"
Agnus lets out a startled yelp as he turns around and noticed Blake suddenly appearing behind him, she tilts her head in confusion and curiosity
"My Lady B-B-B-Bureiku, I was not expecting you to be here."
Bureiku glares lightly when Agnus started stuttering
"We've been friends for quite awhile, Agnus, I know that whenever you stutter, you are nervous."
This caused the Supreme Alchemist to panic quite a bit after hearing what Blake said
'Has She Finally Found Out About THAT?'
Before Agnus could prepare for whatever punishment he might get, she suddenly said something that made him feel relief
"Which means you were expecting me to come to you to talk about you and your wife."
Blake cross her arms and wore a 'Professional Relationship Therapist', this made Angelo relax once he realized he wasn't caught, though he didn't show it
"S-S-S-So I'm guessing you finally found out the reason for our recent argument?"
Despite being cleared from any real trouble, Agnus knows he wasn't safe from this topic
"Only from what your daughter said to me."
Blake sigh and sat on the observation bench next to her Associate, who also took a seat with her
"I would rather not be involved in your family troubles, it would be rude of me to include my bias into something that I shouldn't even be a part of, but like I said, as your friend, I can't just ignore this."
Blake clearly wants to help and understand the situation, which made her fellow high rank of the Order sigh
"T-T-T-To be honest, I wish you did ignore my love life, though it would be more accurate to just call it life now, I suppose."
Those words that came from Agnus made the Supreme Priestess go wide eyes
"Y-You no longer love your wife?"
"Not anymore, unfortunately."
This actually made Blake feel very saddened to hear, she thought she was always helping and fixing a broken relationship, but to hear that Agnus, despite all her effort, no longer have any feelings for his wife, it broke her heart in all honesty
"Don't misunderstand, I do not feel any animosity towards my wife, and I will not deny that we had good moments with one another, especially when Nico came into my life,not to mention you saving her life is something I will forever be grateful for."
Agnus opens his notebook again and started to write more information about the fight of Credo and Angela
"But what was there is now gone, and I think it's time for us to move on with our life, and my life is here, as an Alchemist and all that is the Order."
After finishing what Agnus had to say, Belladonna couldn't help but look away and down at the sword she was holding, her hands shake as she grip the handle of 'Yamato'
'Am I angry that he's willingly throwing away his love for his wife without hesitation and moving on without a second thought... Or am I jealous?'
Though before Blake could continue to be in deep thoughts, or keep talking with the Supreme Alchemist, they were completely interrupted by the sound of a weapon hitting the ground, which made her look up and saw Lansbury having her weapon knocked onto the ground and having the 'Son of Beradon'na' aim his blade at her neck, signifying that he has won the fight
'He's why I'm here, I'll talk to Agnus another time...'
Blake push away her thoughts and feeling, and just focus on what was important now, getting up from the seat and started to walk towards the two who just finished training
"I know you were holding back Credo."
Angela lets out a knowing smile, as if she saw something obvious
"I know you could handle my attacks, but I didn't want to purposely hurt you in our spar."
Credo aimed the blade away from her training partner and puts away his sword
"You're already stronger than me, you've proven that a few years ago, why do you still want to train with someone you surpass?"
Angela then started to summon a teapot, plus two cups, made of pure aura and pour herself and Holy Knight a drink
"Cause I know that I haven't surpassed 'THEM' yet..."
Credo tone turned cold as he takes the cup, thanking her in the process, and started to drink from it, as did she, once they did, any and all injuries and pain they had went away, replace with the feeling of relief and comfort
"Am I interrupting anything important? I don't want to intrude on your training."
The two looks and see Blake walking up to them, though kept a small distance just in case she was forcing herself into something and ruining a moment, which made Lansbury just smile at this
"You're fine, my Lady, we just finished with our daily sparing, isn't that right Credo?"
Even though Angela still treated Bureiku with high respect, she was being casual and her normal self, which was something she appreciated, though as for her son
"Yes, though if we were still training, we would've stopped at a moment's notice if you so desired, Mother."
Credo spoke to his adoptive mother with high respect, more than necessary, especially since he's her son
"Credo, we're not in public, you don't need to keep treating me as someone important."
Despite Blake's plead, her son refused to budge
"You are important, Mother, treating you anything less would be unforgivable."
Out of all of Beradon'na children, Credo was the only one who would treat her the same as he was doing, whether outside or in private, the problem wasn't treating her with respect, it was the fact that he treats her less like a mother and more like a holy person, it genuinely made her feel disconnected to him on a emotional level
"Speaking of which, where's Circe, isn't she supposed to be guarding you?"
Though that was a topic for another time, as of right now Credo changed the subject and made his mother focus on something
"Since I wanted to speak with you, she thought it would be best to wait outside and not interrupt anything."
Blake's answer satisfied the stern Supreme General, and was thinking about saying praise for such commitment and when not to overstep to someone who is their superior
"If that's the case, I shall wait outside with her, if you please excuse me."
Angela gave a small bow and started to walk out of the room and leave the two family members alone together, Agnus also decided to leave, both not wanting to be a part of this and cause he already has on what he needed, so had no reason to be here anymore, once the they were gone, the two Beradon'na were able to speak without interruption
"So Mother, what was the reason you needed to come to me, is it something important?"
Credo was ready to complete any task if it was something important and needed to be taken care of quickly, this reaction made his mother fell silent, as if she was debating something internally, and was struggling to either say something or nothing that was on her mind
"... Would you be coming for dinner tonight? I made your favorite meal."
"I might be a bit late, but nothing too long."
"That makes me happy to hear, I should probably leave you be then, I don't want to distract you and make you late for tonight."
"I'll be sure to bring your fish cakes you love so much, for my rudeness."
"Please, don't concern yourself with something so small, do what you think is important, don't let me interrupt you."
"I thank you for your kindness, Mother, I hope you have a lovely rest of your day."
"You too Son."
Blake gave Credo a gentle hug, which made him blush light in slight embarrassment, but still kept his composure and gave a small hug back, after that moment of comfort, she lets go of him and started to leave him be, to which he started to do some personal self training before doing some real work, though as she walks away, she couldn't help but sigh and started to think of a life where she never came to Fortuna, living at a place not surrounded by all of this, and only had the things that were precious to her, which where her kids and the few friends she made along the way, that wouldn't just treat her as a boss or work partner, it was something she craved so very much
'Just wait until tomorrow Blake, everything I want will happen, it will happen... I'm so selfish...'
Taking a small pause, because I wanna create some fanart for Nero's new look, you can find it on Good Loser dievantart, who definitely is the most different out of the original cannon, at least in my opinion.
(Also slight update, Circe has weapons that look like a Predator throwing star, Jerry has large sias like weapons that can be put together to turned into a Trident, and David has daggers, cause Dio)
/Blake's Royal Guard Member #4\
Angela Lansbury: also known as the 'Brewer Of Death', a few years older than Blake Belladonna, her reason to join the Nyx was because she knew that Blake needed someone like her in her hard time.
(Her Semblance is more of a support ability, called 'Divine Beverage' which can heal or poison whoever she deemed as 'Ally' or 'Foe', her she has a large mace that can shoot spikes, she calls it 'Domestic')
/Blake's Children #2\
Credo Belladonna or Beradon'na: also known as the 'Guardian Of Heaven', the eldest child, who is also adopted, of the Belladonna, or Beradon'na, family
(His semblance is called 'Crusader', which allows him to create aura shield for himself and those that need it, the more aura he adds will take away his own defense but increase his ability, also as for the gift he got from his mother, it's a large sword called 'Stygian Durandal', which can also turn into a naginata)
/BTW RWBY Update\
Ruby Rose: Her semblance is becoming rose peddles and turning other people into peddles, since she has complete control of her body structure, at least that what the recent RWBY episode told me, so think of that, but demonic and slightly evil in terms of how she use it on her enemies.
Weiss Schnee: No extra abilities, but interesting fact, she's rich because she sells her crystal that she can grow on her body.
Blake Belladonna: She can attack your shadow, which will hurt you in real life, she can change her body into different shape and size, has a personal dimension that can only be entered by her or whoever has her weapon, and her Semblance is still the same, but does more than stand around, also she has shadow whiskers, which can extend and stab you if you get close to her face.
Yang Xiao Long: Her semblance, each time she punch a demon, she steals their strength and source of power to increase her own, but must release said power unless she goes nuclear, doesn't work on Dante, Vergil or anyone similar to their power, also it doesn't work on humans or hybrids.
