Hello and welcome.

This will be my first fanfiction, so if it's bad just bear with me I'm still learning the ropes of story making.

So without further ado, let the story begin.


RWBY is property of Rooster Teeth

Dishonored was developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks


The Whalers of Remnant - Chapter .1

- The Saviour of the Empire -


"I have one more surprise for you. I ask for my life."

"When I killed your Empress and took her daughter, something broke inside me."

"Now I want nothing but to leave this city, and fade from the memories of those who reside here, I've had enough killing."

"So my life is in your hands."

"Make your choice..."


Once the decision was made Daud vanished from the crumbling and flooded ruins of what was once the Chamber of Commerce building, now the base of operations for the Whalers in Dunwall. To only then appear in the exact same place, but yet not at the same time.

Daud, of course, knew where he was. That this setting was only to drive a point when the inevitable conversation would start. He knew this and still the ageing assassin walked on, heading back to his quarters; waiting to see what the 'Black Eyed Bastard' had to say.

Daud didn't have to wait long, as a dark figure appeared in the doorway leading to what should have been his chambers, unless they weren't there in this recreation; too which Daud doubted - the room was too importance for it not to be here. Not only was it his primary planning room and personal quarters, but it was also where the fight between Corve and himself started only a few minutes prior.

The dark figure in of itself - who was currently blocking the entrance to said room - appeared to have the form of a young man. Wearing a dark, buckled, leaver coat, grey trousers and black leather boots. His skin: smooth and pal; His hair: cut short and colour in an odd mix of charcoal and chestnut.

Though it was his eyes' which drew the most attraction as well as distain from the scarlet robed assassin. There was just no essence of life in those eyes. There was only darkness.

"He's quite interesting, wouldn't you say Daud."

Upon the utterance of those words, the slimly built figure transported himself further into the room; seeing to place himself on one of the crates inhabiting the rather large space. Daud frowned as started to walk forward; waiting with forced patience for the arcane figure to finish what he wanted to say.

"Corvo had you in the palm of his hands, ready to slit your throat and toss you aside. Only to just walk away."

With that said the figure vanished again. He then materialises once more - less than a second later - this time standing on the catwalks above the assassin.

Looking down only slightly, the figure began to walk alongside the catwalk's safety railing. Daud, in conjuncture, started to move nearer to the base of the stairs, so that he had both, a better angle to look up towards the 'god', as well as a place to wait, for when he inevitably chooses comes back down.

"Maybe he was in a rush, had somewhere else to be, or maybe you just weren't worth killing. Better for you to live and suffer than die. Who knows? Only Corvo and myself can answer that, and I'm not one to tell."

And again, upon finishing his sentence, the figure vanishes; just mere steps away from the top of the staircase. Only for him to, yet again, materialises; now merely a few feet away from Daud, who was currently standing next to the staircases base.

Daud's frown now forming into an irritated glare as the figure started to walk again. Circling the aged assassin as he continued his one-sided conversation.

"I told you once, after the Empress died that your story would be close to ending. That you couldn't escape into the shadows from what would come. Yet, here you are, still alive, now wanting to just... disappear. But here's the thing, it's not that easy. We both know that."

With that said, the god turned fully towards Daud. Giving the aged assassin a seemingly knowing look, before he started to walk once again; inching ever closer until they eventually stood side-by-side one another.

"But if you're up for helping me for one final time, I'll help you disappear from this world."

"I thought dealing with Delilah was your final mission for me, Outside," Daud stated. His voice was just above gravely and low growl, as he looked into the black pooling eyes of the supposed god standing beside him.

"Daud, my old friend. Delilah was a gift if you recall correctly. I could have just as easily left her to take hold of the Empire, and I probably won't of even be entertained... No, I told you about Delilah because I wanted to know what you would do. Given only a name and the knowledge of your coming end, you scoured Dunwall for anything in hopes of changing what would come. But instead you found hope in Emile Kaldwin, the daughter of the Empress. And in saving her you could in turn forgive yourself."

As a result to The Outsiders words, Daud turned his gaze downward before answering, "It's not that easy to forgive yourself as you may think. Yes, I may have saved her daughter from being a puppet controlled by Delilah, but I still killed the Empress and caused all the pain and suffering throughout Dunwall. I can't forget myself, not yet."

"Then what if I told you in helping me with my problem you would in turn be save an entire world."

At this, the scarlet assassin's attention grew as his gaze returned back to the god, and in turn making said god smirked devilishly, knowing for a fact that he'd now gotten his old friend's attention.

''An entire world?' That's what he said wasn't it?' Daud thought as he contemplated those words; coming to nothing concrete he decided the inquire further.

"What do you mean when you say: 'save an entire world'? I would've thought that Corvo's already doing that on his own, and I highly doubt that he'd want my help. Besides, you've said it yourself, you don't care about what happens to Empire or this world. It could be destroyed tomorrow and you'd probably only be slightly amused. So what exactly are you planning?"

Smiling at the views of his old friend, The Outsider vanished once again, reappearing only a second later near the base of the staircase. Now, choosing to lean on the rows of filing boxes setup there.

"You are right on all accounts off cause, my old friend... well, except for one detail that is. Yes, it's true that I don't overly care about what happens to this collapsing Empire, and it's also true that Corvo is doing what he can to save it from tipping too far over the edge. But, what you got wrong was that I wasn't talking about saving your world."

Daud's eyebrow razed at that detail.

Different worlds weren't entirely outside the realm of possibility, the Void in of itself could be counted as it's own world. 'Maybe that's what he meant by, 'helping me disappear from this world'? He was just going to send me to a new one.' Yet, thinking more on The Outsider's proposal, thing just didn't add up, and he knew there was something missing.

"Saving another world from it's problems still doesn't seem like something you would do. There had to be more to this that you're not telling me?"

Daud, in all honesty, wasn't really expecting a truly revealing answer to his question, but he surmised that it was at least worth trying.

"You were always perspective Daud. Yes, there is more; I don't care much for this world's future but something happened there and it has gone unchecked for far too long. I would like you to 'help' me with this issue, and in return, you may live the rest of your life in this world. A world in which doesn't know you or what you've done."

And as Daud originally expected, he didn't get a full answer, but at least he's got some semblance of what he should do: Go to this other world, deal with whatever the problem is and then live a life where no one knows who I am. Seem simple, but knowing the entirety in front of him it likely wasn't going to be in the slightest.

"So, what do you say Daud. Do you accept my offer."

The Outsider relocated himself one final time. Now choosing to reappear a few feet in front of Daud. Patiently waiting for the assassin's answer.

Daud, of course, took this time to go over all the information he'd just found out: All he had to do was deal with The Outsider's problem, and in return he gets a new start in life.

But the question was: What could this problem possibly entail for The Outsider to ask for his help? 'Was it like Delilah?' He thought, but quickly dispelled it. 'No, it would probably be worse if he needs to send me to a different world entirely, and not just give a mark to someone there.' And that just brought up even more questions, 'Why me? Why not just simply give someone in this other world his mark? There had to be at least one person who could gain The Outsiders interest...'

Daud stopped that thought there. He didn't want to start making theories about what could be stopping the god from giving his marks to someone in this world. Besides, there was more concerning matters to deal with, namely giving The Outsider his answer.

So, as Daud took a couple steps forward, he looked to the emotionless face of The Outsider's, and not knowing what he should have expected, he gave his response.

A single nod.

The Outsider merely smiled at this answer. Probably already knowing it from the start. The Bastard.

"Good."

And as if by a spoken command, the Void's recreation of Commerce building started to crack and fracture. With all of time around the two mystical individuals suddenly stopping. Even the always present musical chimes of the Void were now non-existent.

"When you enter this new world, I would suggest looking for someone. She will become a useful asset as time goes on."

Even The Outsider's voice started to sounded strange - less distorted. But that wasn't what concern the crimson assassin. No, that was placed on where the cracks were going and collecting. His feet.

"She goes by the name..."

And as the floor completely gave way; causing Daud to plummet into the cloudy white abyss under him, the last thing he heard from The Outside was a name. 'Amber Autumn'.

All Daud hoped was that this 'Amber' would be an ally, and not a threat.


There, first /prologue chapter done.

Now due to this being the first chapter and really the introduction to this story I don't really have anything to say here. So I hope that you enjoyed story so far, and if you don't mind leaving your thouhts or some helpful words of advice in the reviews it would be much appreciated.

Thank you, and until next time. Have a happy day.
