The one who walks in the brightest of Shadows

chapter 15 the gray area

3rd person POV.

Sun: finally she speaks 2 days and all you give me a small talk and weird looks

Blake then glared at Sun

Sun: yeah like that.

(Y/n): Sun no offense but could you please shut the hell up for 2 seconds sorry blake now please tell us what's wrong what's on your mind we won't judge..........or at least I won't

Blake: (Y/n) Sun are you familiar with the White Fang?

(Y/n): I've heard of the White Fang done some research and found out that they are a criminal organization completely made up of faunus but at one time they were a peaceful organization dedicated to gaining equality for all faunus kind.

Sun: yeah of course I don't think there's a faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them stupid creeps who use Force to get whatever they want bunch of freaks if you ask me

Blake: I was once a member of the White Fang

Sun then chokes on his drink and
(Y/n) facepalm himself so hard he leaves a big red hand print on his face.

(Y/n): Sun I've said it once and I have a feeling I'm going to say it many more times but Sun your an idiot.

Sun: wait a minute you were a member of the White Fang?

Blake: that's right I was a member for most of my life actually you can Almost Say I was born into it back then things were different in the ashes of War White Fang was supposed to be a symbol of peace and unity between humans and the faunus but despite being promised equality the faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings and so the White Fang rose up as a voice of our people and I was there I was at the front of every rally I took part in every boycott and I actually thought we were making a difference but I was just a youthful optimist but then five years ago our leader step down and a new one took his place a new leader with a new way of thinking suddenly are peaceful protests started to become organized attacks through setting fires to shops that refused to serve us hijacking cargo from companies that used faunus labor and the worst part was it was working we were being treated as equals but not out of respect but out of fear so I left I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to Aid in their violence and it said I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress so here I am a criminal hiding in plain view all with the help of a little black bow.

Blake then Wiggles her cat ears under her bow.

(Y/n): you know what Blake do you remember when I told you about my time in the Sith order about all the horrible and Despicable things I have done how I had killed billions of people over the years and how back then I had no regrets about doing any of it?

Blake: yes I remember

Sun: wait what?

(Y/n): you know Blake the day I met you I could feel The Darkside just radiating off of you in insane amounts.

Blake: What?

(Y/n): not that's a bad thing the dark side has many forms anger, sadness, fear, and regret to name a few these are all Shadows of the dark side and you had every single one of those things inside of you I knew from day one that you had a secret and at any time I could have taken it from you with the force but I had learned a long time ago some secrets are best left kept until the holder of the secret is ready to divulge their secret.

Sun: wow

Blake: well thanks for respecting my privacy but what does this have to do with what's going on right now?

(Y/n): I'm getting to that....the way I see it is that you and my younger self are actually two halves of the same coin both sides fighting for something we both wanted something so desperately we would do anything one side of the coin tried using peaceful methods to get what we wanted and the other side fought with violence and murder one side used peaceful negotiation and the other side used fear and hatred to get what we wanted we both were born into our own respective organizations you were born into the White Fang I was born into the Sith order the Sith used violence and murder to get what we wanted but the White Fang originally used peaceful means to get what they wanted until eventually a new leader stepped up and used the same methods the other side of the coin used soon enough the line between the two sides of the same coin blurred and it just became one single side both using violence and hatred to got what we wanted you did what you did because you thought it was right I did what I did because I didn't know any better the only things I knew where the hatred I bore for everyone else, and Darkness and how to make it grow the only difference between the two of us is you realized what you were doing was wrong and you left that life behind and decided immediately you wanted to make up for what you did by joining the good side but me I didn't realize what I was doing was wrong until many many Millennia of my life had past and when I finally realized what I had done and I had lost the love of my life I decided to just go into self-imposed Exile and just feel sorry for myself constantly punishing myself and denying everything I should have done with futility so in a way you are far stronger than I ever was and for that I have to commend you we have both risen above our past selves to become something new you are a rising to become a Huntress and stop the violence of the White Fang I Rose up from the darkness and became a Jedi and then after that I rose again to become what I am today just a man who does the right thing even if it means I have to dip into the darkness but now I don't see two halves of the same coin I see just light and dark are one and the same and I have the right to move between them freely as much as I want too.
