Child of Omens: Ruination Part 2

Chapter 5: Drifting In The Ocean

Sienna: "So what will you do now?"

It has been multiple hours since the two of them escaped the White Fang Headquarters. Sienna did not know Adam's intentions. She believed he was loyal to her, but if it had not been for Hawk's intervention, she would've surely died.

Hawk: "I'll most likely head back to my camp. The war will continue, but I suppose with Adam at the head now. The White Fang will become more aggressive; at most, I'll be forced to become more aggressive as well. What about yourself? You won't have any support since Adam convinced everyone you are under my control. I can't mind-control anyone, by the way."

Sienna: "I don't have a clue. Most of our hideouts aren't secret to the White Fang, and any other that weren't revealed, Adam will now know of. I believe my best course will be to head to Vacuo. At least no one will have any aggression towards me since our operation hasn't impacted their society. What was that back there? I have never seen a semblance capable of doing what you just did."

Hawk: "Sienna, I have never told anyone what my semblance is and what it is capable of. Not even my mother." 

Sienna: "Oh. Well, if it's any consolation, you do have a fine blade." Hawk could tell where this was going.

Hawk: "Sienna?"

Sienna: "Yes."

Hawk: "Don't push your luck."

Sienna: "Oh...okay."

Hawk heads back into his meditative state. As he focuses his mind, the world around him seems to disappear. As he opens his eyes, he sees he is in a white void. Standing up, he sees that it goes on forever. He then begins to hear a noise, sounding like a blazing fire. He also smells something burning. Believing the bullhead he was in was under attack, he tried to exit the meditation but found that he couldn't. He then began to hear them, the screaming, and he could hear them as though they were right next to him. But what frightened him most was that he recognized them, Ruby, Blake, Weiss, Yang, Vernal, Nora, Ren, Pyrrha even Raven. They screamed for him to help them as though he was the only thing that could save them. All of his senses became flooded. Every time he closed his eyes to try and tune out the screams, he could see each of them burning alive. Finally, he collapses to the ground, the screams and sound of fire ging away as all he is left with is the smell of ashes. He had failed them, was this a premonition of a future yet to pass, or was it something that did happen. He then felt a hand on his shoulder and a voice, cold and sharp like a blade.

???: "Calm your heart. This was a future that has yet to pass, stand and maybe you might be able to prevent it."

Hawk stood up as the hand left his shoulder. Turning around, he sees nothing but a shadowy figure, the figure was completely covered in shadow, but he could make out certain defining features. The figure was a male, short spiked hair that pointed behind him, he wore a coat much like his own, and his most defining characteristic was that he carried a sheathed blade much like the figure it too was covered in shadow.

Hawk: "Who are you, and why are you here?"

???: "Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is, I am here to guide you. You, Hawk, have grown complacent. You hold power, but you don't use the full extent of it. You say you're ambitious but refuse to take more. You saw what will happen if you choose to forsake power if you continue without gaining more power. Then, everyone you ever cared for...will die."

Hawk: "But I have trained, unlocked more of my capabilities. What more do I have to do?"

???: "You are reaching the limit of your power, the fullest capabilities of what you can do. But there will always be more power to take. You only need to ask. Those you thought had given you everything still are hiding from you what you deserve."
