(Vol 0) Chapter 4: Essence

Y/N is shown putting himself a new costume which isn't from the Cult of Assassins.

Y/N puts the hoodie and mask off as he starts to get comfortable in his new costume.

Y/N: I like this, kind of unique.

Raven enters as she looked at Y/N's new costume.

Raven: I like the red, makes you look dangerous.

Y/N: I am dangerous. So what now?

Raven: You are gonna stay here, I... I will be leaving.

Y/N: Huh? What do you mean you'll be leaving?

Raven: I have a tribe to lead, my... our family. You need training, and here you can learn more than with me.

Y/N: So you're leaving me here?

Raven: Not forever, even though your skilled the world is still a dangerous place, and I refuse to let you walk alone around it, you're still young and you can learn so much more.

Y/N: But why actually leave me here?

Raven: Maybe... maybe I'm just afraid that I lose you again. I'm not known and used to my closest dying even when I have seen almost everyone around me die, you're death hit me different, cause you still stood up to all that abuse and hits, you still were on your feet, and I had a choice, I didn't took it which provoked your death.

Y/N: You're still blaming yourself for what happened to me?

Raven nods and kneels as she looked at Y/N.

Raven: Every time I look at you, you just remind me how I failed again, and made myself and my parents that I would get strong, I got strong in the outside but in the inside I was still fragile and weak.

Y/N: Does the pain go away?

Raven: Which pain?

Y/N: Is just... I learned a year ago about what happened to my grandparents. That the tribe was hunted and they died protecting both you and dad, am I right?

Raven: Yeah, though they protected both me and your father, that was the moment I learned that the weak will die and the strong won't die. Your grandparents were strong but they died protecting both me and your father cause we were weak, and I always blamed myself for that, and I still do, but I have to swallow that blame and keep fighting.

Y/N: Can I... see them?

Raven: Huh? S-Sure.

Raven grabs something from her pockets and shows Y/N a photo of her parents.

Y/N: These are my-

Raven: Yeah, they are.

Y/N: She looks like you, only a bit messed up.

Raven: Yeah but believe it or not, she was kinder than dad, he had no idea what the fuck he was doing when he took care of me.

Y/N: He didn't know how to be a father?

Raven: More like how to take care of a baby, he first grabbed me from by back shirt, mom almost cut him in half.

Y/N: So our anger comes from grandmother?

Raven: You inherited, I somehow didn't and neither your drunk old man.

Y/N: So they're dead is what made you look the world look differently?

Raven: Mhm, me and your father were sent to kill Huntsman, but... I started to like what it meant to be a Huntsman, Summer was actually the person I considered family after Qrow, I married Tai but later Qrow and Summer came with the shock of her having a baby... you. I didn't feel like excited for it but I knew you needed someone else than just Summer and Qrow, so I agreed to be with you. But later Tai came, he changed, or more like revealed himself, he started the abuse and hate when you were 6, none stop every day, I joined but I saw my mistakes only when I just started, I left and bowed to never return. I kept an eye on you for 2 years but I heard about the kidnap and later of your sudden death, it gave me flashbacks. It gave me nightmares that even being strong, I'm the same little girl that couldn't protect his own blood, like I couldn't with you. I was damned if I would leave you to die, so I got your corpse out and resurrected you. Even when Summer broke, Yang lost her emotions; Ruby separated herself from Yang and Tai and Qrow started his drinking career calling the four monsters, I couldn't let my own blood die again, so yeah. You're death gave me nightmares and flashbacks of mom and dad, and I still have nightmares of not being there when you needed me.

Y/N: I-I guess I understand why. You gave me a second chance but almost on losing my own soul.

Raven: Exactly. *shows a knife from her hand* I was gonna give this to Yang so she could mix it with her weapon, but I guess it's yours now.

Y/N grabs it and looks at it.

Y/N moves it around his hand very comfortably.

Raven: Is from The Cult of Assassins, they gave me one when Qrow and I trained there, is extremely sharp, very durable, and can cut through tons of things including cut weapons to a certain amount. Thought you would like it.

Y/N: *smiles* Yeah, it is kind of nice. Thank you.

Raven smiles and hugs him as he left the knife in the counter. The scene moves to the knife as it reflects a person using a red sleeveless hoodie, a mouth mask and red eyes holding the knife in blood.

Next day

Y/N was in the balcony seated looking at the sun rising, until he heard steps, as he looks back seeing Essence with two cups.

Essence: Want tea?

Y/N: Huh? Well why not, thanks.

Essence takes a sit and gives it to Y/N who starts to drink it.

Essence: Do you like this view?

Y/N: Is not bad, I mean it is beautiful but I've seen views very gorgeous as well. Though I say this is an unique one.

Essence: It is? Well for me looks normal, but I guess to you it is unique.

Y/N: Yeah. I have a question, that you don't need to answer if you don't want to.

Essence: Which is?

Y/N: You're Ducra's daughter, but you don't look like her, why?

Essence: *looks down* I am made of shadows as old as Remnant. The same shadows Grimm are made of.

Y/N: So you're part Grimm?

Essence: In some ways yeah.

Y/N: Ok maybe that question was awful, but you don't look like a Grimm being honest your quite beautiful.

Essence: *earning a small blush* I-I don't get that a lot you know.

Y/N: Well now you do.

Essence: You know I'm over 2,000 years old.

Y/N: So who gives a shit, you could probably outlive me and my great great great grandson if he ever exists.

Essence: I feel like he will.

Y/N: Yeah now thinking of it I'm 11 years old and my life is already a roller coaster so yeah not sure.

Essence giggles while drinking tea as Y/N smiles while looking at the sun. Ducra looked at her daughter and Y/N talking, as she shows a small smile.
