Chapter 61: Forever Fall
~Albus POV~
"We're here."
"Finally we meet the entrance of the Forever Fall forest."
We all continued to walk our destination to the White Fang destination at the entrance of the Forever Falls.
Have to admit leaving Mountain Glenn's destroyed city is a nice change of pace after the dystopian city.
I could lend the White Fang some info about Merlot but I'm keeping that info for myself for the time being.
Besides I'm more curious about his lab and research notes of Grimm studies as I can find him out later since I'm not ready to deal with that big of an issue.
Still though seeing the Forever Fall forest is certainly something I never experienced in my life.
It's… certainly has the fantasy-like feel to it.
That was when I hear Adam's voice as he began to talk to everyone holding his weapon, "Ok. Everyone be wary of Forever Falls! The known inhabitants of the forest include Grimm, crows, and a dangerous type of insect, Rapier Wasps. Be in groups and move out!"
"Roger Captain Adam sir!"
"Good, move out!"
Whistling at this I got to admit Adam certainly knows what he's doing when he wants to.
Like I said before he has the talent to be a great leader but sadly it's overshadowed by his hate to be a practical leader.
Still making it down the Mountain sides from Mountain Glenn has been exhausting but thanks to me we moved apparently a lot quicker than scheduled to their meeting point.
Managed to avoid Grimm or quickly kill them off in sneak attacks but we managed by.
Although looking at this place certainly makes me remember at times how different all of this is compared to Earth.
This mountainous area has many cliffs and is covered by a forest of red-leafed trees, allowing the whole area to appear as a dust-red color, even with the grass.
The trees are known to produce a special Red Sap that is of interest to researchers.
Cutting through a low point in the forest is a wide railway track, upon which a large cargo train travels.
Hell, the forest is filled with ancient ruins, similar to the Emerald Forest.
Remembering correctly one of these temples is used as a storage facility by Merlot Industries.
The forest also hides a small camp inhabited by the White Fang guess I'm helping them set up how they provided their first base in a dangerous place like this but they managed alright in the show…
At least till Cinder forced them to obey.
But regardless we all managed to continue going around the Forever Forest as I went back to talk with Adam in a curious tone, "Say I know this is out of the blue here but… how good are you in your swordsmanship?"
Glancing at me hearing my question he smirked back with his own reply, "I would say I'm pretty much considered a master of the art. If I do say so myself. Why do you ask? You interested in fighting using a sword?"
Nodding my head as I sheepishly replied with a slight blush of embarrassment to his question, "Uh… yeah actually. I wanted to learn more about how to wield a sword properly hence I created my own fighting style Thunder Breathing."
Pausing at my style he then began to ask what I meant by that as Blake was also listening in to the conversation, "Thunder Breathing? What is that? A form of fighting style that revolves around breathing or something?"
Nodding at that I began to explain to Adam and I guess the White Fang listening in to the conversation the effectiveness of the Breathing Art, "Yeah. The breathing art is more than swordplay but helps enhances the body when you reach a high level. That level is called Total Concentration Breathing which enhances the normal body to I guess near or enhanced human or Faunus levels without Aura help constantly."
Hearing that I heard murmurs going around of that as Adam seems to be interested as he thinks for a bit before surprising me about the idea.
He began to voice his idea out to me in a form of a deal to him as he began to talk to me with my eyes widening a bit, "Hmm… how about we make a deal then. If you can teach me or my men this Breathing Technique I'll personally help you in swordsmanship."
Smirking a bit I immediately agreed to the deal.
I mean Adam was admittedly a badass when he wanted to be.
That and I get actual preference to train the art of Swordsmanship under the guy since it will be beneficial for me in the long run of things in the future.
I mean I was planning to do this in Menagerie but I guess I can open the idea sooner.
With me agreeing with Adam on the deal we all managed to meet up to –
What?
My eyes widen as did every one of the Faunus in the area as I began to voice my concern to the area in front of me, "What the hell… why did your base suddenly get attacked."
We all quickly moved around till Cinder and I began to heal the others till I heard Blake open her voice in concern, "Quickly Albus! We need help now our Branch Leader is in critical condition and her Aura isn't healing!"
"On it!"
"Cinder heal the rest!"
"Yes, Albus!"
Quickly moving to their destination I managed to not see a pretty sight as I see Adam hold the Branch Leader and the Vice Branch Captain Faunus as I began to use my Healing magic and my Hamon to quickly heal their injuries.
But according to their looks, it seems to me it was done in by attack.
I can't tell who did so but from the looks of things, there was more than one person viewing this lady's past history as they were ambushed by some Human Supremacist from outside of Vale Kingdom watch.
Still, whoever did this hit hard and fast.
Ow…
"Cough! What the hell…"
"Hold on lady I'm healing save your strength."
"Argh…"
Grimacing at this fact I stay calm and began to heal the wounds as best as I can as Adam got control of the situation, "Grr… I'll be back we need to do a roll check on the Faunus and see the damages done. Blake makes sure to save anyone in need here at camp as I go around and secure the area."
"Yes, Captain Adam sir!"
Like that she followed his words as I already my job is to provide healing support as I didn't need to be told what happened.
/////
*Zzzz*
*Rumble*
"Whew…"
Sighing out a breath of relief and working on a defensive wall around the camp this time the White Fang members here took it hard as Cinder and I did our best to save some but… not all made it out alive.
The Branch leaders of theirs is alive and well enough to speak as I excused myself for the time being as this was a matter for them to handle.
I respected their private space as I began to finish up the work on a better defensive wall for the current time.
Glancing at the faces of the Faunus White Fang grunts huddling together in their newly shaped stone homes for the time being as well as some beds thanks to yours truly they at least have some space for themselves.
"Hey, Albus thanks for the homes…"
Blake soon comes over but the bags in her eyes are filled with tiredness as she comes over as I asked their leader, "No worries. About your leader… how she's hanging."
Blake nods happily at this as she expresses her thanks for me helping them out, "The Branch Leader will live thanks to you very much for the help. If you weren't around she might have not made it but…"
She looks down on the ground before she smiles a bit brighter at the situation at hand, "Still we got lucky that our members defended the place they did. And even more thankfully that we managed to save a few members but…"
Blake frowns at the loss of their members as I see Adam trudges out with a few of his men down as Blake questions him, "Adam where are you going this late into the night…"
Stopping a bit he calms down as his thoughts are blinded for a bit before he replies to Blake, "… Whew… Blake the Branch Leader told me the place where to locate the Human Supremacist. I'll leave you in charge of camp while I and my men deal with them."
Like that he began to leave through the gate as I complicated of joining but…
Sigh…
In the end, I didn't as while I did heal the Faunus in the area I still have to check up on their leaders as they were the most damaged in the attack.
Besides that, though I have to worry about my own issues for the time being as Blake looks a bit down but…
Shaking my head for the time being I didn't bother for the time because once we got near the Vale Kingdom my Scroll was up and running again but what concern me was the front page news shown.
Roman Torchwick dead in the fight against the Yellow Dragon.
I have my own concerns to deal with this change or maybe not.
For now, I have to be busy completing my Enhancement and Stealth Magic for the School Academy.
