RWBY: Survival - Chapter 8

Infront on their mothers Sapphire quickly greeted them a good afternoon, “Oh Little Sapphire how are you feeling?” Kali asked in concern, she had asked Summer on why he had been so tired but hearing that they didn’t stop training until Sapphire’s Aura broke worried her.

“I am doing alright Auntie Kali, In fact I feel like a can run a marathon” Sapphire said with a grin, amused by what he said Summer’s words gave him a chill, “Really now, Okay then let’s train this time until you pass out” Summer said sweetly.

“Beautiful mother of mine, I meant to say that I am currently exhausted and require rest from training” He said sweetly, Kali and Blake giggled at his change of attitude, “Ahaha, okay we’ll continue your training tomorrow. For now go and play with Blake in the park” Summer said.

Sapphire nodded, he took Blake’s hand and ran to the park. Summer sighed while looking at her son running off the distance not noticing the little blush on Blake’s blank face, “They look cute together” She said, Kali looked at Summer and nodded, “Very much so”

Kali went into deep thought when she looked at Blake and Sapphire, her eyes then twinkled as she said, “Hey Summer, what do say we prepare an engagement between them” Summer looked at Kali, “I don’t know if Sapphire will agree to that” Summer said

“I think it will be fine, besides, you saw how my daughter reacted to your son’s touch. so why not?” Kali shrugged, “I’ll let him decide on what he wants to do” Summer went inside as Kali followed.

[Dyris Park – Menagerie – 4:10 PM]

Arriving at the park, Sapphire watched the children play as they get dirt on their clothes. He doesn’t feel like joining in with them as he felt that they might not be able to hold a conversation with him, He was about to turn back when Blake pulled him into the park making some kids take notice of the new arrivals.

They stared at Sapphire with curiosity, they heard from their parents that there is another race like them but only without the features of an animal. Uncomfortable he asked Blake to unhand him to which she obliged.

“Although I let you go please do not go too far from me or else Mama will scold me for leaving you alone” Blake said, agreeing he followed Blake as they walked towards a group of kids in the center of the park.

He noticed that some of the kids in the group are older than him by a few years, as they were noticed by the group of kids Blake waved her hand at them, “Hello guys” She said, the group slightly bowed as they simultaneously said, “Good afternoon lady Blake”

Blake sighed, she had been in contact with this group for 3 months now but they still haven’t opened up to her. Being called ‘Lady Blake’ proved that there is a barrier between them that prevented her from becoming friends with the group.

Sapphire also noticed this, when they met in the bullhead coming to Menagerie he noticed that when he called her by her name without any additional words like ‘Lady’ or ‘Miss’ made her happy. He could tell that Blake really wanted to be friends with these kids, ‘These should be Blake’s childhood friends I haven’t seen them in the show before’ he thought.

He walked forward and with a smile he said, “Hello my name is Sapphire Rose, I’m Blake’s friend what are your names?” A dark purple haired teen possibly the oldest of them who was a wolf faunus scowled, ‘Why should we introduce ourselves to you a human” he said, Sapphire sighed he met a human hater in the group.

Blake angry at the wolf faunus for being rude to his friend, “You are being rude to my friend, Speak of your name and apologise” The wolf faunus stopped and respectfully said, “My name is Tyler Fang, lady Blake but I cannot apologise to this human.” Tyler said, Sapphire quickly stepped in before Blake can say anything.

“Although I can understand why you hate us humans expecially the Schnee for using your kind for labor, not all humans are bad” He said, Tyler scoffed, “Like I believe that” he said. Sapphire sighed as he crossed his hands, “Oh really, don’t you know that your kind also commit acts that can be punished by law”

“Lies! We do not commit any crimes!” Tyler angered yelled at Sapphire, Sapphire stepped forward and stopped directly infront of Tyler and looked at his eyes, “Tell that to the human families that got killed by your kind” He turned and grabbed Blake’s hand leaving a silent Tyler and co.

As they walked back to their house they suddenly stop, silence was present for a few moments before Sapphire without looking back said, “I’m sorry that you had to hear that, I don’t hate the faunus but it sounded like I did” Blake looked at Sapphire’s back and hugged him, “It’s okay, I know that that you just want to let that Tyler know that the faunus also commit crimes”

Blake grabbed his hand and smiled at him brightly, “Let’s go home?” Sapphire nodded and smiled “Yeah let’s go home” He said, They resumed their walk returning to thier home with smiles plastered in their faces.
