New story

Hello there! I'm writing this to let you guys know that I have started another RWBY crossover. I'll be posting chapters as if it were Faded Fire and will, more or less, be the same length as the ones in this story.

Seeing as how FF doesn't like chapters made only of A.N., here you have a small sneak peek.

I hope you all had a merry Christmas, and I wish you all a happy 2019!

Enjoy!

/ ? POV /

Different. I think that word defines my kind quite well. Maybe strange is better. Though, in the end, it comes more to who you ask. The other Elders call us Dark Ones. The Inferiors are only animals, so the first thing they think would be to run or fight, though the latter doesn't usually end well for them. And the Humans call us monsters. Heh, monsters. I'm sure there is some kind of irony in that. After all, we aren't the ones that wear their skins as armor…

Well, excluding Fatalis. Those things are out of their mind.

Though, maybe my kind isn't as sane as I would like either. Our first instinct is to go that specific place, that mountain, and spread the Virus through the lands, infecting everything in the territory and propagating our species. It all occurs when one of our kind sheds their skin and 'Ascends', as we have come to call it. After this, our time becomes limited. In the previous form, my kind is almost unaffected by time, but after we Ascend, death inches closer. We still live many years, but not nearly as much as in our first skin.

But I, unlike my sister and brother, don't feel the same. Sure, I still want to go to that mountain, but it is more like a small tug in my mind than a primal instinct. Maybe it's because I was born the weakest of the three of us, or maybe there is another reason. Don't know, and honestly, seeing as how my brother and sister ended because of it, I don't care.
