chapter 3

Nathen pov.

I stood on the bullhead after ozpion true to his word returned a few days later. I was wearing my armor and cloak at the moment since my hoodie was packed away in my bag. It was just a simple sack made from the fur of deer. I was the only one on besides Ozpin who kept looking at me with a sly smile. "Lose something over here honda?" I asked annoyed from being watched by him.

"Forgive me. It's just going to be very interesting when I see what you can do at your initiation." He said before looking away. "So why Spartan and not Rose?"

"Because I'm going to have as little relation to Tai and Yang as possible. They beat me after Summer died. Only ones to care about me were the dog, Qrow, and Ruby." I explained with little expression on my face. He seemed to nod in understanding as I looked out the window. I saw the world change greatly. I saw the forest far below filled with grimm. I sighed thinking about it when I saw  everything around me change into a forest. The bullhead I was on was gone only to be replaced with trees that were covered with snow and looked dead.

"Boy, careful when attacking this creature." I heard a voice say that feeler my heart with longing. I looked around frantically to try and find the source.

"Hello?" I called out and heard the voice again.

"Dad did you hear someone?" I heard a younger voice saw.

"No. Head did you hear something?" The gruffness of the voice filled me with ache.

"Brothers I didn't hear a thing but I don't think we're alone."  I finally saw 2 people come into view. An older man with a red tattoo on him. He was holding 2 blades in his hands and an Axe just like mine on his back. He had a head with horns hanging from his hip, its eyes glowing. Then i saw a teenager about my age holding a bow. He slowly scanned the forest before his eyes landed on me. He stared at me as I stared right back.

"What is it boy?" The older man asked with concern.

"Do you not see him?" The boy as as he pointed at me. The man looked in my direction but it was as if his gaze went right through me.

"I see nothing. Who do you see?" He said looking back at the boy.

"I see a man. He looks so much like you only he's wearing different armor, a bow, has your axand his eyes....." the boy said as I stayed quiet.

"What about his eyes Arteus?" The man asked.

"It's as if electricity is running through them." Arteus said as the man gave a look of being taken back a step.

"Electricity?" He asked slowly as if danger. I stayed quiet unsure of what to say.

"Yes. Who are you?" Arteus asked me.

"Nathen Spartan." I say looking between them. "I'm going to assume your Arteus." Arteus nodded.

"What is it boy? Did he say his name?" The man seemed slightly desperate.

"Nathen Spartan." Arteus said as I saw the world starting to change. "Where are you going?" Next thing I knew I was back on the bullhead looking out the window.

"So Mr. Spartan are you eager to learn from beacon?" Ozpin asked apparently unaware of my leave.

"Oh yeah sure." I say looking around at my surroundings again. "What in the name of Hades." I say as Ozpin gave me a raised eyebrow. "Did you not see anything?" He shook his head. "Sorry just thought I saw something. " I say keeping quiet now ad I looked out the window again wondering who they were. The rest of the ride to beacon was uneventful and boring. When we got to the academy I picked up my bag and stepped out into the sunlight. There were a few people around but no one that really stood out except some people running to the bullhead. I didn't really pay attention as I kept my head down before hearing something interesting.

"NATHEN!"

Ruby pov.

I was currently running down to the landing pad for the Bullheads to meet the new student that was arriving today. Behind me was the rest of team RWBY. "SLOW DOWN RUBY!" Yang yelled as I bursted out of the doors just in time to see the bullhead getting close to the school.

"Guys this is so exciting. We get to meet a new student." I said excited jumping up and down as Blake, Wesis, and Yang finally caught up to me.

"Well technically they are not a student yet. He or she has to go through initiation." Blake said as we started to walk to the landing pad.

"I hope that if it's a guy he's hot." Yang said as wesis sighed.

"I hope they are more tolerable than you 2." Wesis said pointing to Yang and I. "I don't know what I would do if their were 3 of you here." I stopped walking as I remembered Nathen.

"Ruby?" Yang asked looking at me before seeing my face. "Yes I miss him too."

"Well you are part of the reason he's gone." I say sadly as Blake and Wesis had stopped to follow the conversation.

"Yes I know and I regret it. I wish I could take it back. I do but I can't so I'm going to keep to his last request to us." Yang sighed sadly as she hugged me.

"What are you talking about?" Wesis asked before getting elbowed by Blake. "Ow!"

"We used to have a brother." I say as I get out of Yangs hug and continue walking to the landing pad.

"Used to? What happened?" Wesis asked.

"My dad and I......." Yang started to say before choking a bit. "We did some bad things to him."

"What did you accidentally push him down some stairs and he ran away?" Weiss asked before getting elbowed again. "WILL YOU STOP THAT?! Beside it's very unlikely you beat him." Wesis said followed by silence. "Oh my gosh. You di-"

"Yes they did, now please don't." I say wiping tears from my eyes as Yang looked away ashamed. "Let's just put on our happy face and meet the new person." I say smiling and saw the bullhead land. I ran over and watched the door open to reveal a person wearing a black cloak and some armor glistening from the suns light. It looked like a guy and he had a bag over his shoulder with his hood up. His face was covered in shade but caught a glimpse of his eyes. "Electric?" I say realizing who it was. "NATHEN!" He looked up and saw me. Nathen pulled off his hood and I charged at him tackling him.

Arteus pov.

When I first saw Nathen he was glowing white and was see through. We had a brief conversation before  he started fading. "Where are you going?" I asked him as he faded away.

"Are you sure he said Nathen Arteus?" Kratos asked putting his hands on my shoulders.

"Yes. He looked so familiar, but I've never seen him before." I say confused as I walked over to where he was standing. "But why does it matter about his name."

"Because Arteus you had a twin brother named Nathen." Kratos said with sadness I only saw once before.

"What?" I was completely taken back.  "Where is he?"

"I do not know. But it's the reason I was gone so much. I was trying to find a way to save him. But when your mother died and we had to spread her ashes I come to accept that he was gone. He was taken when you were both a year old. But how did he appear?" Kratos seemed to have asked himself this last question.

"If you don't mind brother I would be happy to answer." I looked over and saw a man in golden armor giving the most stupid grin ever leaning against a tree.

"Helios?" Kratos asked scared.

"No that was my replacement. I'm Apollo." He sighed. "Now what do you want to know about your boy?"
