P.O.V. [Name]

I was a with team RWBY and JNPR they were talking about something but I wasn't listening to what they were saying. I had some other things on my mind at the moment.

He was right he's getting stronger and that day is coming closer. It's only a matter of time before I have to tell my new friends about him. I can only imagine how they'll react.

"What about you [Name]?" I heard Yang say looking at me. This brought me out of my daydreaming state and caused me to look at her.

"I'm sorry what? I was busy thinking about something," I said looking at her with a somewhat sheepish smile.

"Any traditions or legends that your hometown knows?" Yang asked looking at me.

"Thanks for giving me the short version. . . and yes we do have one legend that everyone in my town knows about," I said looking at her.

"Well what is it?" Yang asked looking at me.

"It's called the Shadowlord," I said looking at her.

"What's that?" Ruby asked looking at me.

"He was our equivalent of the boogyman. If a kid misbehaved they were told the Shadowlord would get them. You know stuff like that. Although the original story is a bit more dark," I said looking at her.

"Well let's hear it. Surely it can't be that bad," Yang said looking at me.

"Well the original story goes is that he's the dark counterpart to dust," I said looking at them.

"What?" Ruby asked a little confused.

"Well the story goes that in the beginning there was light and darkness. Humans were the first to discover both. The light was made to help humans and guide them to a happier life. The darkness was meant to mislead them and lead them to their demise," I said looking at them.

"So they are opposites basically," Blake said looking at me.

"Yes, well the legend goes that the light became daytime and dust. While the darkness became nighttime and the Shadowlord," I said looking at them.

"I see so that's what you meant by he's the counterpart," Weiss said looking at me.

"Yeah that's what I meant. Anyway the Shadowlord unlike dust has a mind of his own. He's said to be made up of everything inheritly bad nightmares, dark essence, he was said to be the one who created the Grimm," I said looking at them.

"I see so other than that what made him such a bad thing?" Blake asked looking at me.

"It's believed that he's the reason that humanity was brought to near extinction. If it wasn't for dust as you know we would be dead. Needless to say he was pissed to see everything that he worked for almost disappear over night," [Name] I said looking at them.

"So what happened to him?" Nora asked looking at me.

"It's said that he was so angry that he challenged the humans to a fight by himself. The first hunters and him battled for three entire months before they finally beat him. He was injured but not defeated. However before he left he made the Grimm just to spite the humans," I said looking at them.

"Well he obviously didn't do such a good job seeing as how we've been kicking the Grimms butt left and right," Yang said looking at me.

"Yeah but he's said to be just recovering sort of like a hibernation of sorts just waiting for his full power to return so he can once again start to kill humans," I said looking at them.

"Well good thing it's just a silly legend," Ren said looking at me.

"I don't know I think mine and Ruby's story is true. What about you Blake you think your tradition holds true?" Yang asked looking at her.

"No if it did there wouldn't be this many problems on the world," she said looking at them.

"I hate to admit it but I think our tradition is a waste of time as well. It doesn't make any scientific sense when you think about it," Weiss said looking at her team.

"Well I believe our legend," Nora said looking at the rest in front of her.

"I hate to say this but I don't," Ren said looking at Nora causing her to go into a small rant of sorts.

"Well I'm not sure what to think about my tradition I mean it is based on a legend but there's no way to know weather or not that it's true or not," Jaune said looking at me.

"What about you Pyhrra think your tradition is worth believing?" Weiss asked looking at the redhead beside me.

"Yes after all every legend no matter how silly always starts for some reason and those reasons usually have some form of truth in them no matter what it is," she said looking at them.

"I'm guessing you don't believe your legend [Name]," Yang said looking at me causing her to gain my attention. "After all something that farfetched can't possibly be true so there's no reason to believe it like Weiss said," Yang said looking at me.

"No you're wrong," I said looking at her causing her to gain a slightly confused expression. I looked at her and decided to explain myself. "I absolutely believe that he's real," I said looking at her.

"Oh okay well I guess I can't really fault you after all it's what you were raised to believe," Yang said looking at me. I guess I can see where she's coming from. Until two years ago I didn't think he was real either.

However after that day I don't just believe he's real I know for a fact that he's real and I know that he's coming for me. I also know that there is a chance that he might succeed and that he might actually destroy all of the human race.
