Different Histories

Everything was going so great when that day came. I was dreaming about my family. The smiles, the kindness.

Me, my dad and my mom were out visiting an orphanage when it happened. I watch as the six year old me ran around with the other kids, laughing when there was a crash of glass in the next room. Gunshots rang throughout the building. A scream for help and a slam of the door followed suit then silence...

The other kids hid behind the small body of the six year old me. My dad barged into the room with a revolver in his hand, panting a little and his aura flickering showing its exhaustion. His face softens when he laid his eyes on me trying to shield my friends. He reach his hand out but stopped as his eyes grew wide and his body flopped to the ground. Past my father's body is man in dressed in gray and a blue mask with horns hiding his face. Watching myself run to my father's side, his face plastered with shock but his eyes hollow as the life slowly fade. The last thing I heard my father said was "I'm sorry and never forget who you are, Galanthius." I cried, hugging my father as the man with the mask cursed saying something about his accomplices dead and about taking me as ransom for Lien.

The six year old me screamed as I grabbed my father's gun. The masked man noticed and pulled out his sword. The man yelled at me to drop the revolver but I refused. I pulled the hammer of the gun back until it clicked and the man cursed again saying something about a waste. He swung the sword but everything is moving so slowly for me. I can see the glint of the sunlight reflecting from the blade that is descending ever so little. My small hand raised the gun and aim at the eyehole of the mask and as soon as I pulled the trigger, everything changed.

I heard yelling and screaming, pleading someone to wake up and so I did. Gasping for air as if I ran a marathon across the Anima. Looking to my right, a purple head girl is hugging me and to my left, a small girl with black hair and red tips doing the same. I wrapped my arm around the two of them and I gazed around to see team JNPR without Pyrrha bruised and battered. I remembered we were fighting hordes of grimm.

"Hey guys... Are we safe?" I asked then both of the girls burst into tears and sobs with their arms tightening around my torso. I looked up at Jaune and he points to my left. A grimm dragon stood not too far away with an army of other kinds of grimm looking waiting for the order to pounce.

It was then Ren who answered that is being held up by Nora who has a nasty gash on her leg. "It has been a pleasure to fight alongside all of you but it looks like we have reached the end of our roads." Then both him and Nora collapse to the ground kneeling. Jaune gave me and his team a sad smile. "Well... Never thought I can make it this far. Thank you guys." He sat down next to Ren and Nora and hugged them.

"Ash, Ruby..." My girls raised their heads, tears streaming down their beautiful pale faces looking at my face. "I love you girls... I love the both of you." I pressed my lips on both of their foreheads and the both of them kissed my cheeks. "I'll see all of you guys on the other side and Ruby, maybe you can teach me how to bake cookies there." Then for the first time in months. A tear fell from my closed eyes as we braced for death.

I heard footsteps but not the usual scruffy noise of the grimm but rather soft and then another set of steps that is more like stomping.

I opened my eyes but everything is grayed out except two figures. One is bright as the sun but I don't feel any heat and my eyes seem to not flinch away. The other one is just black like a void. The both of them are like there but not there at the same time.

"What is your name friend?" I heard the Light ask. I mumbled my name only to be answered by a grunt of maybe annoyance from the void figure. I somehow am able to recognized which one is talking. "Urgh... No, not the name that they used to hide you! The other one!" The dark void yelled at me and tilt my head in confusion. "Try to remember friend... We have plenty of time though my brother does not seem to have the patience that I have. Please make haste." His voice so calming while his brother's is filled with anger.
