New Life of a Crow - Knight of Crows



Long story short, humanity thought it was a good idea to kill itself not with pollution or nukes, but with bio-weapons. I was the lucky one as I was somehow resistant to the changes everyone went through and only benefited from them. She wasn't sadly

Pecking Order, First mission already?

Griever POV

It's been 3 days since I met Eris and I have good news and bad news. The good news is Eris isn't getting hostile with the princesses and is getting along very well with Misty to the point they're already talking about bedroom activities starting with my fetish (God they move fast). The princesses are also being very understanding and keeping out of the relationship until Eris feels she can trust them to be in arms reach. The bad, but expected news is she can't stop glaring at them for the hell she's been through. On a side not, the princesses are keeping her release/ escape unknown to the public. Speaking of the public, I've been told the nobles are demanding I be imprisoned or executed for the 'murder' of Blueblood, use of illegal magic, 'murdering' all those slavers, 'disrespecting my betters' and property damage of all things. The only thing I broke was a door which is the most ridiculous part of that charge. The princesses explained as best they could, but these people don't understand how the law works apparently since most if not all my actions were, or may as well have been legally justified and now that I'm a prince there isn't much the law can do to me if I say so. The only crime that I could debatably be charged with was the illegal magic, but considering how long I've had that magic and how different it is they can't do anything. Which is what led up to me being where Blueblood died with everyone watching.

"Are you certain this is the best course of action?" Celestia asked

"Probably not, but someone has to put these arrogant pricks in their place. There aren't too many more forms of arrogance than believing you know better than your superiors and believing yourself above the law. While we're on this topic, how goes the hunt for those slavers?" I asked while switching my weapons out for Nevermore, Shadow Edge, Chikage (Bloodborne), and Burial Blade. I was able to keep the first 3 on me, but I had to store away Burial Blade, thankfully I can pull it out whenever

"We're tracking the last of them now, but a few are too far or out of Equestria. We've tracked the ones who escaped to a slave camp just across the border to Minos."

"I'm assuming it was just put up or slavery is legal there."

"It isn't legal, and your assumption is correct as that camp wasn't there before this incident." that's good

"Alright, I'll head over there after I teach these idiots why they should learn humility. Write down the directions after the match and I'll be back in a day or two."

"I can't thank you enough for this, for everything you've done so far." I pulled her into a hug

"I would do it again if I had to." I let go of her "I would say wish me luck, but that would imply I needed it."

"Just go easy on them please."

"As long as they don't give me a reason to kill them, and define 'easy'." and I left before she could say anything


"Save us the trouble and surrender monster!" shouted one noble, it's been a while since I've heard that one

"Kneel before your betters beast!" I kneel when I see one

"We'll have justice for what you did to Prince Blueblood!" justice for winning a deathmatch? That's a new one

"I'll see that filthy mutt of yours in chains!" *insert record scratch*

"Would you care to repeat that?" I dare you, say it again, see what happens

"I said that bitch will be in chains where she belongs!" You die first, good thing Celestia didn't tell me I couldn't kill them

I pulled out the Chikage and prepped it's Bloodtinge mode while channeling Abyss flames before asking "Do you know why the Old Blood is to be feared? Do you know why Black flames bare no shadow?"

"What are you goi-AAAAAAAHHHH" I slashed the air sending some of the Abyss flame enhanced blood at his eyes and shaping my blood to act as tiny serrated blades in his skull before answering the questions I asked him

"To quote a man from long ago 'we are born of the blood, we are made men by the blood, we are undone by the blood, fear the old blood'. The blood holds immense power, even the means of ascension to Godhood, but power always comes with a price. Many seek it, but cannot make the trade or die before they learn the price. The reason why Black flames bare no shadow is because they are the manifestation of the soul, though not using soul magic, it still scales with the darkness in the soul. Now, I shall show you mercy. I will end your life here and you will suffer no more." I readied myself for a slash dash "Amplectere Tenebris." I dashed forward and sliced him in two, leaving the Abyss flame to deal with disposing of the body and turned to the other 20 or so nobles who didn't listen to the princesses, after counting it was indeed 20

"I will allow you to choose, would you like me to use Nevermore, Shadow Edge, or Burial Blade?"

"MONSTER!" I heard one scream

"I'll be nice and use Nevermore. I will face you as the Knight of Crows. Know this, pain is your reward for being near me," I unsheathed my sword and feathers started falling from the blade "fate won't be your friend when I'm around." I started playing Bad Luck Charm (RWBY) and dashed towards them faster than any of them could react

I spin kicked 1 out of the ring and swung my sword to hit 2 more using the flat side of the blade (3). Two of them tried to stab me, but I blocked them with my wings and slashed them across their chests before grabbing one and using him as a shield against one who tried to shoot me with a magic bolt. I threw him to the shooter and knocked 4 more of them unconscious (9). I slowly walked towards the remaining 11 and decided to use the enchantment on Nevermore, I used a few of it's infinitely falling feathers to make kunai and VERY small shields to incapacitate 4 more of them (13) and block their spells. As I continued on my path 1 either grew a pair or acted out of fear and charged at me with his spear. I stopped the spear and bent the metal so the tip was now facing him and he was crying now out of fear "You should have thought twice before fucking with me." (14) I strolled right past him to face the remaining 6

"You should feel proud of yourselves, it took 21 of you to fail miserably in putting the so called 'inferior being' in his place. Once again, undeniable proof that your blood means nothing, that your titles mean nothing. If I am inferior, then why am I looking down on you? Why are you cowering before me?" I readied 6 more feathers and launched them "Why am I the one coming out unscathed? It is because you are weak, incompetent, arrogant, and spoiled beyond all reasoning, not because I am your superior." I left them to their pain


I met back up with the others and Eris launched herself at me on sight, wrapping herself around my arm, hugging my head and kissing me before I could register what was happening, I didn't back away of course.

"OOOO that was so much fun to watch! Can we do it again please?" Eris asked with puppy dog eyes

"I can't promise anything, but if it happens again I'll let you decide how I fight." I said and booped her nose before turning to see Misty and Luna walking towards me

"So sister informed us you accepted your first assignment. Hunting the remaining slavers correct?" Luna asked

"That's right."

"When do you think you'll be back?" Misty asked

"I'll be back in a day or 2. Don't worry, I promise they will all die horrible deaths. I think I'll use my Sharingan imitation, now if only I could actually change my eyes to match." everyone but Misty looked at me with questioning looks

"Use your version of the Tsukuyomi on at least one of them for me, alright." well since you wished it

"How about 5 of them and either Black flames or Susanoo for the rest?"

"You can do better than that." she's right, I can do better

"10 it is for my favorite she-wolf. The rest I'll use the Burial Blade on."

"I'm sorry, but what is this Tsukuyomi?" Luna asked

"It's an illusion that had to have been made by a sadistic genius. Imagine a torture session that lasts for I can't remember how long and time in it is under your control, 1 week in it could be 1 second in reality. A true nightmare or paradise if one so desires. I can't do the real thing, but with the right magic I could imitate it." they were all left speechless

"You've never used this before have you?" Celestia asked

"Never have, will scarcely use it for torture if that's what you're worried about." she visibly relaxed hearing this "It's about time I go to that camp." I pulled Misty and Eris into a kiss "I'll be back soon, alright."

"Don't keep us waiting~." Misty said with half lidded eyes and extra sway to her hips and tail with Eris following her example. I channeled everything into that lift off and started flying as fast as my wings which now have everything but void magic flowing through them would take me


Misty POV

"Did you really have to do that with him?" Luna asked

"Not really, but his reaction was priceless. It also 'encourages' him to get it done faster. He'll likely be there in a few minutes and start going psycho on them. If you hear the sound of laughter over the sound of people screaming and dying you should run anywhere but towards it. It's a side of him he suppresses a lot, thankfully it only targets those he thinks deserve it."

"Now I actually feel sorry for them." Eris said

"As he would say, 'either die by them or die by me'. Trust me, it's an act of mercy considering what he and the slaves would do to them if he didn't feel so rushed. Shall we get something to eat? It's about that time."


Griever

Screw explaining to the minotaurs why I'm here, I'll just kill them all and be done with it. I think I'm feeling more excited than I should about tonight, but I don't care. I've been flying fooooorr I think 6 minutes now and I've already found the camp. I hovered high above them with the sun to my back as I thought of an awesome entry. All your base are belong to us? No, wrong time and place. Quote Gehrman again? Naaahh too soon. Decisions decisions decisions.


Misty POV

"I trust everything is to everypony's liking?" Celestia asked

"It is as always." I said

"After not eating in SOOOO LOOOONNGG anything's good in my opinion." Eris said conjuring a cup of wine

"Are you sure you should be drinking?" Luna asked

"Relax, it's non-alchoholic." Eris said drinking half of it in one go

"I think she wants to be sober for later."

"Yes, Griever's *ahem* reward right?" Celestia asked


Griever

Damnit! Anything I can think of either doesn't fit or just not thrilling enough like Alucard's on the ship or Madara's against the army. I think I'll have to settle for a Seven Deadly Sins entry or just walk up to a guy asking if there's something in my eye and pop a Tsukuyomi. I guess I'll do a coin toss, heads for sins, tails for eye. *flip* Heads it is, I think I'll try to fit a gravemind reference in as well.


Eris POV

"You should try him sometime." Misty said

"Would that even be proper so soon?" Luna asked

"This conversation isn't proper at the table!" Celestia said

"It's just us girls, I don't see the problem." I said

"Trust me, you won't regret it~." Misty said tempting them


Griever

I dropped down using darkness to mimic the Abyss in the Artorias fight and changed my voice to sound like a deeper more masculine version of Ichigo's hollow, both surprising and out right terrifying everyone.

"I have come to pass judgement." 30 guards started circling around me "Your sins are born of lust, greed, pride, and wrath."

"ATTACK HIM! HE'S THE ONE WE SPOKE OF!" I heard a former noble shout, to which I used Tsukuyomi on him and he collapsed, prompting the guards to attack. I responded with using the darkness IN their bodies to keep them still as I started speaking again

"I am a monument to all your sins, now burn with them!" I lit 20 of the guards on fire and used Tsukuyomi on the rest before pulling out Burial Blade and dashing towards the slavers while ignoring the guards at the moment


Misty

"Just how would we go about approaching him with this?" Luna asked

"The best I can say is to tell him you're willing and want it. As for pleasing him, the two of us REALLY like anal." I said, wrapping an arm around Eris's neck, everyone's faces except Eris became red hearing this

"He'll be gentle, right." Eris asked looking nervous

"I practically had to walk him through the act, if anyone will be worried it's him."


Griever

I've killed just about everyone except the slaves of course who are all cowering from me sadly, but what else would I expect given everything they've experienced and witnessed. As I was about to start freeing the slaves a guard tried using a infant as a hostage, I forced him to gently place the child down and ran the scythe through him before lifting him up with it and throwing him across the camp. I picked up the child and found it's mother, she was terrified at first, but started to calm down after I returned her unharmed child and set her free along with the rest. As I was about to fly all 74 slaves I saw a slaver with a giant piece of wood deep in his leg. I couldn't help myself with what I did next.

"YOU!" he stopped and turned to see me standing over him "You're trying to crawl away?" he sped up, not like it'll help "BRING ME THAT ASS!" he screamed and cried for help as I slowly shoved my scythe up his ass, I'll have to clean this, after I bring everyone to Canterlot that is.


Misty

"If I know him well enough, he'll be done-"

"HONEEEY I'M HOOOOME!"
