![]() This was one of the few times that she was glad for the cloth covering as it offered enough protection to stop the newly-declared leader of equally newly-declared JNPR from destroying her more sensitive pair of ear drums. When her mask turned to meet his own, all signs of her intent were invisible to him.īlake felt her faunus ears twitch beneath her bow at the sudden, loud shout that broke the silence of the room. Her hesitation she used to fashion a mask that, while invisible, was just as effectives as the one he wore. He didn't know how his eagerness for blood had her trembling or how her features twisted to display regret. Wherever they touched she felt those black emotions that had overtaken him attempt to seep into her very being so that she, too, may one day embrace the carnage that offered brief, grisly relief.īlake kept her emotions and face hidden from him. It was easier to know when he was nearby for even though he may have once been a presence of unshakable confidence, he had now become a walking construct of malice that wished to pay back all who had wronged him.ĭeep inside she felt that part that was reserved for Adam pulse and stretch out the foul tendrils that clung to her Aura. ![]() She registered his approach long before he had spoken. ![]() You find yourself in a land of opportunities that won't keep you restrained to one point. And even when arriving at your destination, the journey isn't over. The only thing you can do is surrender to the flow.īlake stared at the ground, watching the fallen leaves continue to glide along the grass even after they had landed. What you will find and where you will fall is all randomized. To break away from it is to give yourself to the current of endless possibilities. Watching this display, Blake couldn't help but compare the journey of the falling leaves to the one she has yet to take.Īll that's required is an opportunity - a chance to separate from a home that has become a prison. A renewed breeze saw most of the leaves freed to descend the rest of the way to the ground. Many of them fell, providing a spectacle of the forest's name as they danced in the air.Ī couple landed in her hair, the strands guided by the wind in random directions that happened to result in them snatching some of the leafy drops of this earthly rain. Above her, the branches of the surrounding trees swished and swayed, producing a relaxing melody as the leaves rustled within the wind. The gentle wind blew back her long, wavy black hair and the coattails of her vest. She retreated from him for the moment, wanting to ponder these latest thoughts that she had been having…and what they may entail.įorever Fall was gifted with a constant, pleasant breeze. Stretching out with her mind and Aura, she could sense him prowling within the depths of the forest a point of barely-contained aggression that disturbed the natural peace of the landscape.Ī long time ago it was the world I feared and he that gave me peace, she thought sadly. If humanity wished to use fear to subjugate a race, they would learn the error of their ways when that fear turned against them.Ītop the boulder she was seated on, Blake kept her gaze up and away but knew that with a moment of concentration she could locate him. That gathered, roiling ball of hate was allowed an outlet when the White Fang finally chose to fight fire with fire. He had just been biding his time, waiting to strike back with violence that would eclipse anything that humans had done to them.Īdam would get his chance. The violence and bigotry that humanity threw at him he absorbed and used to strengthen his own resolve. That steady stance of his was not one built upon the belief of peace but one of contempt for the human race and their apparent enjoyment of preying upon a weaker minority. Seeing him stand up to the hate that humanity directed at them reinforced her own waning confidence for the eventual goal of equality.Ĭonsidering this bond that she had formed with him, she didn't know why she hadn't seen it sooner. He had become a paragon of strength for her. Made due to desperation and a desire to never be alone in such a cruel world, Blake had taken the hand that he offered to her and, with it, the Aura that he laid bare and what she had taken to bind with her own. ![]() No matter the distance that separated them – whether a few feet or miles -, there was that little part within Blake's heart and soul that was completely Adam. Ever since their meeting those many years ago, they had made sure that such a thing wouldn't happen as long as they both still breathed. Even with her chosen point of seclusion within the cliffs and red-leafed trees of Forever Fall, Blake knew that she would never be truly alone.
