The 'Lone' Hero of Vale (RWBY & Link)

Fighting to Protect a Comrade!

"Enough is enough."

When did I say that out loud? Maybe I am losing my mind but anyway. Doctor Oobleck asked everyone except me and I think Ruby why we wanted to be huntsmen or huntresses. Regardless of whether he did or did he not ask Ruby is irrelevant I suppose, everyone has an idea of why she wanted to be one. I did not even know what the wrong huntsman or huntress was when I set off on my own journey alone, so one could say I was forced into this lifestyle. Then again, that would be a complete lie because I've never decisive about my life at all, I tried exploring and traveling on my own, joined a group, left said group, was taken in by a village, left said village, traveled alone, felt like a change in my life was necessary and here I am at Beacon. It isn't as simple as that but... If I do in depth with my past right now, this 'demon' will most definitely come out and wreak havoc on all that Grimm below us. Why do I want to be a huntsman? To finally have some purpose in life and finally do the right thing. I've fallen in with the wrong people, I've stumbled across some really good people, unfortunately the good people did not stick around while the bad people did, it's time I change that, for good. This is my life and nobody dictates what I do with it, I chose to enroll in Beacon Academy and this is where I want to be, this place is going to help me become stronger, faster, wiser, and more; I need this, to protect those who I love, even if my life is on the line, plus saving other people in the progress would be an added bonus. After all, nobody needs to die an unnecessary death

"I need to get out of here."

I do not remember even thinking of those words, let alone saying them out loud. That has to be a sign, I need to leave and go somewhere to be completely isolated from everyone else. They will be fine, we're high enough to where Grimm won't find or attack and I already cleared out all the Grimm inside the building. G-get up damn it! Some space from everyone and everything is crucial right now. As much as I try to block out the memories, it does not work as well as blocking out sound. What Ruby and I said to each other, last night sharing our first kiss, spending the night together, getting the best sleep of my life, and then this morning we could not stop being affectionate while still being awkward and-! Never mind. Was it all for nothing? Why would she just want to break it off? I understood her words but... I think she took Doctor Oobleck's words that were about himself, and applied those to herself in the worst way. All I can do now while sitting in this same spot is stare out into the sky and look at the shattered moon, why is it shattered? Maybe it's a tender moon that breaks easily, which my heart can relate to at this current point. However, I know deep inside my heart that my feelings for Ruby won't simply fade away as if they were never there but it sure seems her feelings for me have. Wait! What am I saying?! Of course they haven't! She was hesitant and her main reason for not pursuing things is the fear of one of us dying for the other putting more of a burden on said other person... Which I think is a ridiculous reason, dating or not, if she's ever in danger I will be there to save her, no matter what happens to me. Could it be that she knows this and only said all of that to spare my feelings? At this point, I don't know and it's driving me insane thinking about it! Ruby did say she could never fathom the idea of being interested in a boy countless times. Looks like she was right and stuck to her word.

Silence...

Followed by more silence...

At last I can hear again, which means that 'blocking' of sound was not my own doing... Strange. I can now hear the faint sounds of stealthy Beowolves walking along the destroyed streets of his abandoned rundown city. What do I do now? What happens from here? Will Ruby and I still be friends? Will the rest of her team remain my friend? Even with a team like JNPR or Sun and Neptune, will this negative decision cause them to pick sides and abandon me? Will I have anybody left? Better to stop letting it consume my thoughts and to disconnect from the world for a bit, time to go.
