《Son of Jaune Arc》Chapter 10 Taken
Advertisement
NO POV
Jr eyes slowly opened as he regained consciousness. The first thing he realized was that it was cold. When he could see again he realized that he was in some sort of warehouse. Slowly he got back on his feet, trying not fall over. He started to walk forward but suddenly plummeted to the ground. He felt something on his ankle. He looked over and saw a chain attached to his ankle, connected to a pillar.
Jr yanked on the chain but it wouldn't break. Seeing how there wasn't any chance of snapping it off he took in his surroundings. The warehouse was completely empty, except for the few pillars around the room.
Jr: Where am I? Why is it so cold?
Jr crouched into a ball to try and conserve heat.
Jr: Where's mommy?
He clutched his pants, he was after all just a little boy. A little boy separated from his mother and family and has no idea where he is.
???: So the son has awoken.
Jr looked up and saw a cloaked figure standing right in front of him. Startled, he jumped back and crawled backwards until his back met the pillar. The cloaked figure merely laughed.
???: Funny, back in Argus you had no problem running through grimm infested woods.
Jr: Who are you?
???: Very well, I'll show you.
The cloaked figure removed their hood, revealing short black hair and an amber eye. Her other eye being covered with an eyepatch.
Cinder: My name is Cinder Falls.
Jr: Cinder...Falls.
Jr had heard that name some where before. He searched through his mind until he realized what it was. His eyes widened.
Jr: You killed my dad.
Cinder chuckled.
Cinder: You're smart for such a little guy, but yes I am the one who killed your dad.

Without even thinking Jr lunged at Cinder, only to have the chain around his ankle pull him back. Cinder chuckled, and then kicked the boy right in the face. Jr now lied on the ground as he held his injured face, tears started to leak out from his eyes.
Cinder: Looks like you and the father have the same tendency to rush into battle without thinking. That's what got him killed, and you might end up the same way. Hard to believe that moron managed hook up with Pyrrha. Looks like her standards are low. I guess both of your parents are idiots.
Jr: Don't take about my mom and dad that way.
Cinder: Or what kid, you think you can beat me.
Cinder got right in front of Jr's face, mocking him. Suddenly Jr spat in her face. Cinder reared back as she wiped the saliva off her face. In an instant, her hands were wrapped around the young boy's throat as he was lifted in the air. His legs thrashed as he tried to free himself.
Cinder: Not so cocky now kid? How does it feel to be choked, to have your lungs feel like they are on fire as you start to realize you are getting closer to death.
Finally she dropped Jr onto the floor. Jr tried to regain his breath as Cinder glared at him.
Cinder: I have no problems killing you, but unfortunately I'll need you for my plan in order to work. So for now, enjoy being alive.
Cinder walked away, leaving Jr all alone in the dark and cold room. Jr merely curled up into a ball and cried. Waiting for this nightmare to end.
The past few days have felt long for Pyrrha. When they first arrived in Atlas, well snuck in, they had to snuck around Mantle and were soon confronted by grimm. Later on they were captured by the authorities and taken to Ironwood. Luckily for them he let them go and now has them working alongside him.

She now had free time to check up on what was going on in Argus. She found a phone and was now calling Saphron.
Saphron: Hello.
Pyrrha: Hey Saphron, it's me Pyrrha.
Saphron froze, she had yet to tell her of Jr's disappearance.
Saphron: H-Hey Pyrrha.
Pyrrha: You okay, you sound nervous.
Saphron: Well you see... oh what's the point of lying? Listen Pyrrha there is something I have to tell you.
Pyrrha: What is it, what happened?
Saphron: It's about Jr.
Pyrrha froze, she didn't want to find out what happened but had to know.
Pyrrha: What happened?
Saphron: I'm so sorry Pyrrha...Jr is missing. We have searched all over the city and even in the forest, he's no where to be found.
Pyrrha's whole world had stopped. The phone fell from her grip and landed on the ground.
Pyrrha: My son is missing.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
