Hey guys and girls.

Welcome back to the new chapter of RWBNY: Shadows Of The Past.

So last place we left off was where Lindow managed to turn back thanks to Hotaru's help. With the two of them agreeing to seek out and find the Guardian Of The North Wind, they head off.

They can no longer go back to Agartha as a mob is waiting for them. And things will get bad if they try and do anything with that. So their only choice now is to go to the one who shall teach Lindow how to control his powers.

But there is more. A Keeper has been found dead with strange marks that none have seen before. Head Priestess Shion has issued the order to a few followers to find the source of where the Keeper was killed. As well as assist the Keepers to find the source.

It had begun.

Enjoy.

Disclaimers: I own nothing.

Chapter 4: The Temple.

No longer running at break neck speeds, the duo were seen walking along a rocky moutain path. The stones grinding under their feet as they pushed on. Hotaru kept looking back to Lindow. Her mind still shaken by the monstrous form he took on.

When he wasn't in Beast Mode, he was as beautiful as an angel. But when he turned into his Beast Mode, he was as evil as a demon. It was like a contradiction. A powerful one at that.

"What?" spoke Lindow looking to Hotaru.

"Oh, nothing." said Hotaru as they pushed forward rounding a corner.

There on the horizon, they found it. A massive temple layed on the top of a hill not far from them. Standing massive and proud. Casting a shadow on the plains below as the sun rose over it.

"Beautiful isn't it." said Hotaru with Lindow nodding his head.

"Sure is." said Lindow not focusing on the temple.

He wasn't even looking at the temple, oh no. Instead his eyes were glued to the woman accompanying him. His eyes taking in everything about Hotaru. How the golden bands of the morning sun washed over her body and face. Her hair looking to be as if it were fire. Her eyes trained on the temple, how beautiful she was. It was incredible. How her beauty had camptured his heart. He felt so at peace. So tranquil.

"Let's go." said Hotaru.

"Yeah." said Lindow as they bounded to the temple.

They only finally got to the Temple Of The North Wind after 2 short hours. But then again, it was Hotaru's idea to sprint the entire way. Thank the gods that Lindow was both Faunus and Reaper. He would never had made it.

When they got to the temple, they found to gate guardians. Two massive stone golems stood on either side of the massive gate. Looking down at the two, they sized them up. Lindow felt that his current level of power wouldn't even put a dent into them. Well that was if he probably didn't use his Semblance.

"You seek entrance into the Temple Of The North Wind." stated the one on the left.

"Yes." called Hotaru.

"Only those of pure heart may enter. Prove you're pure. Or fall to your demise." said the one on the right as a stone bowl grew before them.

Soon water filled the bowl only stopping at the brim. Hotaru went first and placed her hand in the water. It instantly lit up with beams of light shooting off in every direction. Hotaru was unphased while Lindow marveled at the display of power he had never seen before. But then it was his turn as soon as Hotaru moved out the way and took her hand out of the water. But as soon as his hand entered the water. It turned black. Black tendrils of some type of ink leaked from his hand, contaminating the watter as Hotaru looked at the water worried about Lindow.

That was when the golems attacked. The first one slammed a fist into the stone bowl. Shattering it to pieces while Lindow jumped backwards. His heart racing and his Beast Mode beginning to stir. Gritting his teeth as the second golem joined the party, Lindow used every piece of training his father and mother taught him. Even though he didn't have all the fantastic abilities his father had. There was one thing Lindow had at his disposal. His Semblance. He named it Critical. Able to use his strength in a more stronger form. Only draw back? His bones and muscles will be at risk of ripping from the bone.

Finding the two golems making their way to him, Lindow gritted his teeth in frustration.

"Dammit." growled Lindow cocking a fist back.

It was either this or get smushed by this walking rock. Hotaru meerly raised an eyebrow. Petrified in her fear as she looked at the scene before her.

"Lindow?" she said.

"200% POWER!" cried Lindow as his veins protruded more and purple energy was seen flowing in the veins. (A.N. Midoriya's ability appearance).

Throwing the fist, Hotaru was utterly astonished beyond imagine when Lindow's fist smashed the golem to pieces. But there was still one more to deal with. Sadly, Lindow could feel his arm's muscles threatening to give. But he placed that on the back burner as the second golem made its way to him.

To make matters even worse, the golem he destoryed began to repair itself as rocks and various stone littered everywhere began to rebuild the massive thing again.

"You fucking kidding me?" growled Lindow as he got ready.

Seeing the second bring a hammering fist down, Lindow blocked it. His one arm's bone snapped like a twig. He cried out in pain as he looked to find the bone sticking out. Clenching his teeth as he looked to the golems. His rage burning even higher than ever. And that did it. Lindow once again entered his Beast Mode.

The monster Hotaru was so afraid of was unleashed again. The demonised Lindow tore through the ground like it was nothing. Even though one arm was still working, the new advantage gave Lindow his openings. Slamming another fist into the rock, he watched as it crumbled to nothing. Narrowly dodging a strike from the other one, Lindow used every piece of Aura he had and breathed in some air.

Hotaru had never seen anything like this. As Lindow pulled in air, what looked like energy was seen being pulled in along with the air. Lindow lunged forward and a beam of extremely powerful Aura was fired from his mouth. The beam tore through the golem like it was nothing and not only did it rip through the golem. But also the front gate as well. And a few buildings ontop of that.

Every single of the students stopped what they were doing as they made their way to the scene of the source of the beam. What they found was beyond their deepest horrors.

"Demon." said one of the students.

But one of them walked to Lindow. But this one wasn't a student. Neither did it wear a grey brown clothing much like the others. This one wore a blue and red kimono with wooden shoes. The hair was blue. The eyes a wonderous golden yellow. A paper rose in the hair as the person moved to the monsterous Lindow and Hotaru.

Looking to the destroyed gates, to the school. Then finally the two destroyed golems. She cleared the throat.

"You sought to try and enter my temple. Yet you shoot it up to hell. Do you have no shame?" she hissed only to have Lindow strike.

But she saw it coming from a mile away and pinned the demon beneath her and hold onto the monster's hand. Pulling it, she listened to the cries of pain from Lindow. She would've snapped his arm again if Hotaru hadn't jumped in.

"Please Guardian Of The North Wind, we've come to you by the High Priestess. She told use to seek you out so Lindow can try and gain control of his demonic powers." said Hotaru with the woman looking from her to the monster under her foot.

"Very well. If that is what High Priestess Shion wants. Then so be it." said the woman as she snapped her fingers with everything going back how it was with Lindow returning back to normal.

Hotaru moved to the hybrid and helped him up. Only for the Guard Of The North Wind to look at Lindow.

"Don't even think for a second that you're done. You're just getting started. Welcome to Purgatory." she said as Lindow just hung off Hotaru's shoulder.

"Oh great. What have I gotten myself into." was all Lindow said as they walked into the temple.

And scene.

So Lindow and Hotaru have finally made it to the temple. Where the Guardian Of The North Wind resides. Finding more than just a temple. They find two golems. Being testes by them, they find out Lindow's heart is warped by the hatred he has for his father and how he lived in his shadow for a long time.

Using his Semblance and his Beast Mode, he easily overpowers the golems. But this of course brings out the Guardian Of The North Wind. With the guardian deciding to take him in and train him to harness his terrible and demonic powers, Lindow finds himself on the path that was layed out long ago. Not even knowing that what his father told him in bedtime stories will actually come true. With him as the harbinger of those stories.
