Satisfied with Ruby Rose's response to her distress call, Amber examined the Nexus once more. That's what Ruby had called it. "Those gates must lead to different worlds then?" Before closing up her scroll she caught glimse of her audio log application. That's where she recorded most of her life, with terrible memory that she has, she had to. The application made a light tone as it opened up.
Audio Log #3: "Mur..Murasaki? I think?" Today I was unfortunately in town to find some food to buy. I say unfortunately because people in Atlas think most faunus are filthy, no good lairs and thieves. I have my coin that I gathered off the ground, enough to buy a decent meal today, so I don't really have to ask people for food or resort to dumpster diving. Mom and Dad can't get a job here. Being a faunus is a hard life...I approached the small shop that was some kind of bakery, it smelled amazing. The warm bread, fresh from the oven and the smell of delicious sweets like cakes and cupcakes. I entered, my clothes were quite dirty from crawling on the ground in search of pennies and other small change, when I was stopped intantly by the shopkeep. He warned me to leave and I only asked for some food, pleading that I had the money to pay for it. He didn't buy it, nor did he want to do business with me whatsoever. He picked up a broom, which I found a bit insulting, and tried to bludgeon me over the head. Then, I was just a 13 year old girl who could do nothing but hope the strike didn't kill her. I assumed a huddled position where my arms would block the wooden stick from hitting my skull...but it didn't hit me. I looked up relief to see a boy my age had taken the hit for me. I wasn't happy he was hurt in my stead, but no one had ever done anything like this for me. He grabbed the broom that rested upon his arm and yanked it from the shopkeep. The boy said something to that man that 13 year should hardly even understand. "Human or faunus, I have every right to do what you were about to do her to you, and that is none." With that he snapped the broom over his leg and threw it down. The man was speechless as the two of us walked out of his shop. "Here" he handed me a piece of bread that had been bitten off, which he had torn off so the bite he made was taken off of the bread. I took it kindly. "Y-You stood up for me." "Just because you have different ears than me and a tail, that doesn't make me a higher person than you." Was everything he said so insightful? "What's your name?" He looked into my eyes for the first time, the snow gleaned off his bright green eyes, "Murasaki."
She slipped her scroll back into her hoodie's pocket once the transmission ended. Murasaki, a name she would never forget. He always defended Amber after that day. Amber never asked for his protection, nor did she nessicarily enjoy the fact that he had taken beatings in her stead. However, she was glad someone had been defending the rights the faunus were suppsed to have. Someone treated her like an equal.
She looked down at the omnilium orb in her hand. "If you really can do just about anything, then give me back the friend you took from me!" Her arms outstretched, she watched as the omnilium orb glew brightly in her hand, making the figure of a human in front of her slowly. The size of the body was familiar to her, but the figure was glowing wildly as the omnilium escaped he orb and in xflew slowly into the human. Soon, it looked like a mannequin of glowing light, no noteable characteristics of the human itself.
It had taken just ten minutes of focus to make this, anyone else probably would have said screw it,Iit's taking too long to do this. Amber would not accept it, his figure was here, he was coming to this place with her.
Soon, the defining features of muscles and hair began to take shape. She wondered if Murasaki could see her, or was in some way in a blank state as he was being summoned. She clenched the orb tighter as his body gave more shape; Ears, nose, and his facial freckles.
Next came his clothes, which Amber remembered well. The dark purple t-shirt, and black basketball shorts. It was hard to believe he was from Atlas with that attire, Atlas was covered in snow almost all year around, yet he still wore his shirt and shorts, one time she saw him wear a hoodie. After that, his arm and leg bandages wrapped around his arms. It was almost done.
The last thing that came to feature was his eyes, and the scar over his left one. With that, a deep breath came from the figure that was now animate. He shook his head and put his hand over it, like he had a migraine or something. "Jeez, that hurt."
"You've always been so straight forward, Murasaki." Amber said with a slight giggle and through herself on to him. "A-Amber? I thought that was you."
"What do you mean?" She asked releasing him from the hug. "Well, when you started bringing me here, everything turned white and I couldn't move. What of Bianca and Rose, are you bringing them as well?" He flipped his hair out of his face, it was alwaus getting in his eyes. "Well, I'm weaker here than I was in Remnant. I might have to wait awhile before I am able to bring them both with us."
"Right, that would make sense." He said quietly, examining the Nexus and the gates that bordered it's ends. "I say we find somewhere to settle in. All the people here could be hazardous for what we know."
Amher smiled, she knew he would have a good idea. "That sounds good, maybe somewhere like home. I wonder if there is a place we could go that is like Atlas."
"Well, from what I can see from here, each one of these arches in the distance have different appearances. Maybe that'll give note of where they lead?"
"There's also the chance we wont be able to come back to the Nexus, that's what this place is called." She said, trying to be cautious now.
"Good point, let's make sure our first choice is a good one. I say we head to one, and proceed clockwise past each one. We'll agree on one to pass through." Murasaki was always a cautious thinker. Amber was glad he was here with her, it was hard for her to make decisions without some input. "Okay, let's take this carefully, Amber said as she began to start walking south-east at a random choice. Murasaki followed quietly next to her.

"I've been neglected, harassed, beaten, and diminished all my life. What motivates me to continue? The glory of proving people wrong. Being worth more than the numbing existence offered me. To be a hero." - Amber
