The Prodigy (Sith oc x RWBY)

Dreams

(A/N: This takes place before the previous chapter. Anyway, enjoy!!!) 

*Onyx pov* 

I found myself in a land of darkness. The sky was ominously red with grimm prowling the area. Once again, I had this weird feeling coming up as in I have been here before. I looked at myself and saw I was still in my robes, so at least I know it isn't one of those being naked dreams I heard about. That sounded weird now that I think about it. Anyway, I walk through this dark place until I saw a humanoid figure in the distance. I approached cautiously as I reached for my lightsaber... Wait... How did I know it was called that? That isn't important right now. I have to keep my head on what's in front of me. I got closer To the figure until I saw what it was...

A woman with a likeness to myself. She looked... Familiar somehow. Then again, I have this fear and anger towards her.

???: It is so nice to see you again Onyx.

Onyx: Who are you? How do you know my name?

She seemed taken aback by what I said.

???: Don't you remember me?

Onyx: I'm sorry, but I don't remember anything.

*Salem pov* 

I was shocked at what I heard. My little Onyx doesn't remember anything. Not even me, Ozma, or anything from back then. I would normally take advantage of people with this sort of problem, but I couldn't bring myself to do such a thing to him. Those eyes of sadness and loss just dug into me. I walked to him slowly in hopes to comfort him and bring back any lost memories. He may hate me when he remembers what happened long ago, but I'd rather him be whole again then be a shell of what he once was. I knelt down to him with my eyes never leaving him. I noticed his hand was rested on the hilt of his unusual weapon. I know what that could do, so I need to be careful on how I move. I don't want him to be afraid of me. He needs to know that I'm not a threat.

Salem: How about I introduce myself?

Onyx: Sure. I still wonder how You know me though.

Salem: First, I am Salem. Second, I know you because... Because...

I... I don't know how to tell him. He deserves to know, but I can't bring myself to tell him. I don't deserve to call myself that after that night.

Onyx: You know me because what?

Salem: Because I knew your mother.

I lied to him... I actually lied to him. I feel ashamed about it, but he's not ready to know. I just hope he will forgive me for this.

Onyx: My... Mother? What was she like?

Oh dear, I got myself into another tight spot. Hopefully I can fix this when he's ready for the truth. For now, I need to make it as convincing as possible so he doesn't get suspicious. That's gonna be difficult. I remember that he was clever for someone his age and was almost impossible to lie to. If he is like how he was then, than he's gonna be a hard one to convince. He may be a child, but he's no ordinary child.

Salem: Your mother was... A fair maiden. I remember how she was the kindest being to walk the face of Remnant. She was powerful as well, unlike any I've seen before. She loved you. I remember her saying how you were her little knight. Even your sisters admired you.

Onyx: I had sisters?

Salem: Four to be specific. You were the eldest child, so you did your best to protect them.

Onyx: What about my dad?

 Salem: Your father...

I may have intense haltered for Ozpin, but I can't let that deter what he once was. No matter how much I wanted to lie and say he was a cruel man who cared for nothing, I couldn't.

Salem: He was a noble man. His heart was pure and courageous. A man like no other, he was a hero to all around him. 

I started remembering how things used to be. When I held Onyx in my arms as a baby and watching him grow. I will admit that I miss those long past days. 

Onyx: How come I remember seeing them fight. I can't make out their faces or voices that well, but I vaguely remember seeing them arguing.

That leaves me worried. His memories may be locked within his mind and coming back in fragments. I am relieved that this is the case, but at the same time I feel heartbroken that he has lost the memories of his family.

Salem: Parents argue sometimes. I know you may be confused and maybe a little scared, but it's going to be ok. I made a promise to look after you and I will, no matter what.

He looked like he was about to burst to tears. That made my heart ache. I got closer to him and put him in my embrace. He was taken aback by it, but returned the hug.

Salem: Shhh... It's going to be ok. Just let it out... 

Onyx started crying on my shoulder as I held him. I felt the air around me change. I looked up and saw a storm form above us. It started raining, then lightning shot down. The bolts destroyed the grimm in the area and beyond. As Onyx started to calm down, so did the storm. Did he... If that were the case, then he must be powerful. From what I could tell, his power is on par with a maiden. Maybe... No... I won't do it. He doesn't deserve being used a weapon for someone to exploit, not even me. I won't let that side of me stoop so low. I looked at him and saw he was fading.

Salem: Looks like our time is up. 

Onyx: Was this all a dream?

Salem: In a way, yes. However, all you experienced is real. That being said, keep this conversation between us ok?

Onyx: Ok. *hugs me one more time* It was nice meeting you.

Salem: Goodbye.

He faded away. 

Salem: *whisper's softly* Be safe. 

???: You would be wise not to interfere with his path.

A voice called out. I didn't recognize it, but the presence felt... dark. Almost darker then the god of darkness himself. It was a man's voice, that much I could tell. I turned around and saw...

A man in armor unlike any I have seen. Something was off though. 

???: This is your only warning, do not interfere with what has to come for him. 

He got closer to me and the pressure got stronger. 

Salem: Who are you?

Like Onyx, the man started to fade into nothing.

Tulak: I am Tulak Hord, Dark lord of the sith, The Lord of Hate.

With that, he vanishes without a trace.
