As the will world turns in it very endless struggles from many things included peace and war and as then And the results of this stories were made as to keep as the very hope of people strong for the better as The very fallen of them just leaves tell a story. Of a tale of old that's regaled a would-be of manys heroes but then one of them was the most unique amongst them all as he was deprived and shorn of light by a queen whom Grace had once blessed. And then he's will travel from a different land and towards a land far beyond has the very meager confines of life and as death that had so ceaselessly gripped has the very essence of that which it governed as In a time when legends and gods as still roamed the shattered graves of a war once seen and the very devoid of all gold and very much honor.
A story of loss. A story of hope.
Where a boy become a man of no renown, plucked from the feeble recesses of obscurity, would ever toil in hardship and resignation to his forced fate as Cursed to a life undying, blessed with a mortality unyielding.
This is that story.
Rise now, ye champion. Ye dead, who yet live as The call of long-lost grace speaks to us all as The very spoken mantle that would shutter our very history and our very belief And it well then open the gates to our very new future and then with his very eyes untouched by very gold, he will help everyone one day embrace a new era And with the golden dragon Lord who would shepherd us to it.
________________________________________________
A long time ago in the very world of remnant the forsaken realm of the very brother god's that's once ruled here with power and as then the two brother's decided to abandoned the very world and it's very people's one day just from that day forward the world was in chaos but after sometime the world received and as started to stabilize after a long time and now
As the very world was simpler and kind back then or was it as for some people's apparently. Running through the woods with nothing but a large stick in hand, as Jaune Arc felt a rush of exhilaration. As He's wore his favorite hoodie, snug and warm, as paired with light blue jeans that just had has a few scuffs as from previous adventures as he moved from the garden as to the Forest and the cool forest air filled his lung At just 10years old, he was the only boy in the Arc family, a fact that carried a mix of pride and pressure of as everyone around.
As Jaune just dashed between the trees, as he just as then imagined himself as a courageous Huntsman, like his grandfather. In his mind, as the stick just transformed into a mighty sword, cutting through the very shadows of imagined Grimm lurking in the forest. As the young boy envisioned himself slaying as these dark very creatures and rescuing innocents from peril, a hero in every sense. It was his greatest dream to follow in the footsteps of his family, to be brave and noble like the heroes he'd grown up hearing about. But in reality the weighed heavily on his young heart. His father had made it clear that Jaune wouldn't be allowed to train or apply for a Combat School next year. Despite the legacy of valor in his family as his father was adamant about keeping him away from the dangers of a Huntsman's life, at least for now. The refusal felt like an insurmountable obstacle, a barrier between Jaune and his dreams. And As Yet, even with this limitation, the spark of hope and determination burned brightly within him, and he vowed silently to find a way to prove himself, to show that he could be just as brave and heroic as those who came before him and As Jaune just continued through the somewhat dense forest, and in the rustling of leaves underfoot and the chirping of birds above filled the air. He paused, breathing in the very earthy scent and as taking in his surroundings. As then A bright smile spread across his face as he recognized where he was. As To his left, a series of trees lined his path, as then each marked with two small crescent shapes carved into the bark. These very symbols, which he had carefully etched himself, served as his guideposts, as leading him to his secret destination and ensuring he could always find his very way back home.
With renewed excitement, as Jaune just followed the marked trees, weaving through the underbrush. After a few more minutes of walking, as he just imagine his very stepping stones in front of him as his very royal Knights and loyal soldiers in front him bowing toward him as there very leader as he slowly walked towards his very destination as the boy held his head high as he move from his crowd of imaginary subjects and it his very slow steps a head as then the boy arrived at his destination as it was a castle on the trees and as it was an old but an grand treehouse nestled high in the sturdy branches of an ancient oak tree and it was one of the oldest trees in the entire forest as the very tree very trunk was old but it was very much thick as just many claw mark's on it as it was established now as the very treehouse, and as crafted from what Jaune assumed was oak wood as well, as it just was a very old tree house that his father showed him one day as it had many happy memories with it as it just stood as a testament to time, weathered but strong. A ladder, ingeniously integrated into the van trunk, led up to a trapdoor in the floor of the wooden fort. As he's then started his adventure as he breathing in the air and as he climbed his very tower with determination to rule.
As he Climbing up with ease, Jaune pushed open the trapdoor and climbed inside. As he entered, he took a moment to appreciates the very spaciousness of the interiors. The fort was large enough to comfortably fit at least six people's, and with ample room for them to sleep. Along the walls, a few small drawers had been built into the structure, providing convenient storage. And Jaune had spent countless hour's cleaning and decorating the treehouses to his liking As walls we're adorned with posters of his favorite heroes, as X-Ray and Vav, alongside the cheerful mascots of Pumpkin Pete's cereal. It was his sanctuary, a place where he could let his very imagination run wild and then Pride started swelled within him as he looked around at the tidy, cozy space. But then, his very gaze just caught something's unusual—a pair of feet sticking out from behind one of the drawers. Jaune inched closer, his curiosity piqued. As The very feet just belonged to an older girl, gross as she might be perhaps around his very sister age it thinks 15 at years at best if he had to guess and then wonder come after 15 I think it 37 as he wondered as he's just look at her as she's was just asleep, looking disheveled and dirty, as yet to Jaune, she seemed undeniably beautiful as that just what his sister would have said by now but he's started to just notice her very outfit has it's was simple as white shirt with gray laces, matching gray pants, and shoes. Her hair was tied into a single bun at the back of her head.
As Jaune was stunned and little confused just to find anyone in his secret treehouse let alone a stranger in his home but He knew nearly everyone in his village, especially the very kids, and one who bully him and it was one his very sister friend's but then as who is this girl as he thought as this girl was a complete mystery. Why was she here ? How had she found this place ? As then he's had an idea " why not wake her and ask you the question du" As he thought and then he just started to moved closer, and to just wake her up and intending to wake her gently, as his sister told him as then one of the floorboards creaked loudly under his weight as he's just froze at the sound, ' I shouldn't be too much cereal box in morning and as evening and maybe a little bit before night wouldn't hurt now it' as he thought to himself and then suddenly as the girl's eyes snapped open, wide with surprise. She quickly jumped to her feets, her stance defensive and ready for a quick escape. As then Jaune just took a step as back, raising his hands in a placating gesture, as he still have his stick with him and as trying to calm her before she decides to do anything "W-Wait ! How are you !!!" As he told her as putting his might stick down and bought out his hands in surrender pose It's okay! I'm not gonna hurt you!" Jaune blurted out, his voice tinged with panic and he just looked at her as the very girl eyed him warily, her expressions a mix of caution and defiance as she did noticed him put down a .... Stick wait what is he knight as she's thought and then "Who are you?" she demanded, her voice edged with suspicion and defences as in reality she's was more scared then anything "I'm Jaune," he replied, trying to keep his voice steady and reassuring. As He kept his hands up, and palms open, hoping to convey that he meant no harm to her as she kept on looking towards him as he was just a boy as he might be younger just then her but why is he here and I thought this was an secure location to hide in, As she thought as The last things she/ he wanted was to scare her/ him away or make her/ him feel threatened and scared. As both of them thought at the moment "How'd you find me ?" As she just demanded, as her voice sharp and wary.
"I—I don't know you and I o-own this treehouse!" As Jaune exclaimed, a hint of nervousness in his voice. "My dad gave me this treehouse and cleaned it, and decorated it with him." As he's explained to her and it was that moment as the very girl scrutinized him, her eyes narrowing as she tried to assess as whether he was lying. But this Jaune's boy just looked innocent, enough as worried expression seemed genuine, and she could tell he was telling the truth. He stood there, a mix of curiosity and concern in his eyes, clearly just a boy who had stumbled upon an unexpected guest. As She just relaxed slightly, but her posture remained cautious. As She's wasn't ready to let her guard down completely. With a raised eyebrow, she asked, "You... don't know who I am?" As she's asked him as Jaune just shook his head, like a idiot and a clearly puzzled. "Should I?" As he's asked, his tone earnest and just a question face on his face as the very girl just kept on looking at him, still baffled by the situation, but she let out a long, tired sigh and as sat back down on one of chairs shaking her head. "No," she's responded, her very voice tinged with sadness. "I'm nobody." Jaune raised an eyebrow, at that and as he was more bit as confused or just perplexes a by her self deprecations. As He was just about to ask for her name when a loud grumble just interrupted his thoughts now and As the very girl's face twisted in pain as her very stomach as protested loudly just then Realizing that's she's might not have eaten in a while now as it was a miracle that she is still live till now from all the running she has just been since that day and then she noticed that the boy named Jaune just sprang up in the air and into action.
As He's just dashed to one of the drawers, the one he had designated as his snack stash or emergency's as fashion ration escape box in lengths ways of saying it Rummaging just through it, as he just found a pack of peanut butter cups—his favorite treat—and as hoped she would like them too. As He's just quickly grabbed the snack and walked back to her, extending it's with a gentle smile and then with a cool pose as he's was knight rangers with there's powers to defend the very Grimm force as the girl eyed him for moment and has then the very peanut butter cups warily at first, but as hunger won over suspicions. She reached out slowly, then snatched the package quickly, half-expecting it to be a trick. But as Jaune's very hand just remained outstretched, as his very smile still very unwavering.
She's tore open the packet with haste, peeling off the wrappers and savoring each bite as if it we're a feast. As she ate, she glanced at Jaune, who's watched her with a happy smile, clearly pleased to see her eating. As then the very girl's confusion deepened. Why was this boy, a complete stranger's being so kind to her ? After she savoring the sweet little snack given to her by the blonde boy, as the girl tilted her head, a curious frown forming on her face. "As Why did you do that?" she asked her voice tinged with suspicion still "Huh?" Jaune just blinked and as clearly made him just more confused "Why did you give me the snack ?" As she's pressed on as her very eyes just narrowing "Do you... want something from me ?" As she just asked him as then Jaune shook his head, as his very expression as Earnest's. "No, I saw you we're hungry and I gave you some food, that's it," he's replied simply as still not as understanding her question at all as she kept on just staring at him as he was just standing there and just humming like some idiot "That's it ?" Her skepticism deepened. "No blackmail ? No debts ? Nothing ?" As the very girl demanded from him but the boy just to there's as he was some kind of a idiot but then she's just then looked at him " you gave me food because I was hungry now" As she asked him with slow tone in her voice as then Jaune started nodded, maintaining his gentle smile in the some time "Why?" As she just then repeated, and her voice softer this time, as if she couldn't quite believe his very motives as then Jaune shrugged, his smile never wavering. "Because it was the right thing to do," he just said, his tone filled with sincerity. As The girl seemed to stiffen at his words, a flicker of something as unreadable passing over her features. She hesitated for a moments, then pushed past whatever was holding her back and as fixed him with a sharp gaze. "Are you going to tell anyone I'm here ?" she asked, as her voice steady but her eyes betraying a hint of vulnerability. Jaune gazed into her eyes, noticing the fear that shimmered within them.
It tugged at his very heart, as making him feel a deep sadness. And He couldn't help but wonder about the hardships as she had faced to end up in such a state. Initially, as he had intended to inform his family about the girl, but seeing how terrified she's was, he quickly changed his voice mind. "No, I-I won't tell anyone's," Jaune just stammered as shaking his head earnestly. "Cross my heart and hope to die." As he told her and then The girl eyed him skeptically, as yet there was a flicker of relief in her gaze. " You don't have to worry about me staying here for long. I'll leave soon," she's said, her voice laced with resignation as Jaune's face contorted with worry and saddest " but Do you have anywhere to go and live ?" he asked softly. As The girl just shrugged, her expression turning bitter. "Does it matters ?" she's replied, her voice flat and detached. "Of course it does! It's dangerous out there's!" Jaune exclaimed, his very concern evident as She glared at him, her eyes narrowing. "And what do you suggest?" she just challenged the boy as Jaune, despite his age and naivety, just made a bold suggestion. "Well... you could stay here," he's offered with a bashful smile. "I could bring you whatevers you need ! Clothes, food, anything you need !" As he told her as the very girl's brow furrowed in confusion, as trying to comprehend why he's was so willing to help. "Why's are you doing this?" she asked, her voice tinged with bewilderment. "I'm a stranger." As Jaune chuckled softly as his eyes sparkling with the very simplicity of his belief. " But As my Mom always says strangers are just friend's you haven't met yet," he said with a smile on his face now.
The girl just stared at him and with a mix of incredulity and skepticism in her gaze. She couldn't decide if he was naive or just plain foolish. ' that one of the most dangerous quotes I have heard in my entire life now' as she thought "Anyway ! AsYou know my name, but what's yours ?" As Jaune asked her with smile on his very face and he was very much curiosity as well The girl continued to scrutinized him, and just then in her very mind racing with doubt. As Should she's reveal her name ? As What if he went to the cops ? Did she really want to place her trust in this boy now ? She's weighed her options, torn between the fear of beings caught and the needs for a safe haven. "You can run, but you're gonna be running for the rests of your life. Or, you could find another's way to handle it." As his His words echoed in her mind as making her hesitate. Despite her reluctance, she had to admit there was a kernel of truth in them and Running forever wasn't a solution and as Maybe, just maybe, she could use his hospitality to her advantage and He had offered her a place to stay and promised to bring her whatever she needed and It was an opportunity she couldn't easily pass up and For now, it seemed like her best and only option for now So, despite the warning bells ringing in her very head, and she decided to take a leap of faith.
"Cinder... My name is Cinder," she said, her voice steady with her despite the very inner turmoil as then Jaune's smile widened as his eyes filled with warmth. "Nice to meet you, Cinder," As Jaune greeted her has then Cinder nodded, "Yes,..... and it very nice to meet you as too, Jaune," She greeted him back with a very much a smile on her face as well As the two sat in the treehouse talking and eating snacks, neither of them could know what the future held for them, and had no idea the choice they would make and as where those choices would lead them to But it would be nothing but tragedy.... As some say.
WORLD OF REMNANT
FIVE YEARS LATER
POV
As the very night in the kingdoms of vale was just has peacefully as always as the very crowded street's of people and highways of Vale sang a choir of traffic as the lights of lamps, cars, and as buildings illuminated the very city as the very soprano of this choir, roaring down as the highway and just towards downtown was active than anything from normal businesses and just from crime related incidents just occurring during this very times of hour's but then this very story in not just related to that's part of city but to a another part of the very kingdom that's was to one of it's region's outside and it's very borders and toward's another settlement around the very mountainside and in the forest areas as well in the region of Arcadia one of the ancient and the oldest settlement and then borderline defense of the kingdoms of vale and it's was part of the greatest empire that once existed in his entire continent a long time ago and one of it's very greatest generation's of warriors and Lord's in the entire world of Remnant as ever seen and as in just now has this is story of a boy and his very troubles and his very troubled decisions.
"I don't understand why's you won't train me !" As the voices could be heard from a house in the settlement and as it's was quite different from the rest of them as it's was more of a mansion as than a house and than anyone else here could afford it and it had a little bit of history of it and as then it was connected to more to a farm and to a house and an stronghold as it may look like and voices could be heard from as the living room of two individuals we're bickering with as one another "I've already told you, for the last time's boy but in the end you won't still listen ! And Just accept as what I'm saying, Jaune ! !!! As You just can't and as won't be a huntsman !!!!!" As then It's seldom that's voices were raised within the very Arc Household has especially by Nicholas Arc himself as Though the currents head of the family, he'd always kept a level head and when it came to the more…... strenuous parts of his very life and his very time's as a huntsman of Kingdom of vale and as one of it's very oldest and greatest lord's of his region to the very renowned Arc lineage gave him no small amount of tutelage as when it came to fostering patience and subtlety in as the previously impetuous man and but as then give it's is responsibilities to his very much people well-being and then kingdoms very demands as times can tell and then given the sizes of his very own family, members as it'd have to be that's way otherwise and he'd have lost his very own mind a long time ago by now by the very responsibilities and stress he had just displayed in their very time and just sacrifices of many people that then love and respect now. As then what about this very argument though ? It's is very simple as no amount of tolerance as could ever keep Nicholas calm just about this as it's just put Just him in aggravated to no end and just hearing his one and very only son just was as constantly striving to become a huntsman the very hero and protector's of humanity as whose missions was to eradicated the
scourges of the nightmarishly creature's of darkness and as that's just had plagued Remnant for countless centuries till now and that they are just know Grimm's and then they say A grand calling just yes ? No Under any other circumstances or as in any other family, has they'd be proud of their very son's noble goal's, of his very aspirations to be a guardian of mankind just like his ancestors as it did made him proud but there just more to be a huntsman and hero that meets the eye.
To be a hunter was a tremendously honor but then it's was also a great burden to many and it is a very living curse with it. And then Nicholas knew this by the hard way just when he's lost so much when the day he just became a huntsman and to make his very own father pound of him as he thought Nicholas thought he can fix the very world one day but he was just so wrong as when he became one just himself and the friends and family he once had and made over the year's are just gone at this point in life he had to bury in his entire life and has how long it took for him to come tarm with his very past choices and to just find himself as in peace and prosperity after some much his surrounding and then he just gained a wife longs the dark way and just now knowing that his son and his only son among his family is trying to become another hero like him that's just makes it's worse as he knows his child and as it's is something's father does not wants to put his son in that same horrifying position and that's he was in just many years ago and as Nicholas just wishes and just want's his son to be successful and to be happy Is it's that too wrong for a father to wish as that's for his own children and just why wouldn't they listen to him even now as that these children think that they right and as
They rather go outside and face those abomination's of creatures will do they'll do nothings but destroy just everything in their path and started again and then he know this very similar feelings and as that's particular factoid was deeply embedded and as just etched into his body, with scar after scar servings as a testament to the undeniable truth. It's was a lesson that as he's never going to forget one day as he'd tried to convey to his very son countless times but now But then just with little success as In the matters of fact just like all teenager's in this very age just with very delusions of grandeur, his words fell on deaf ears still now that it is just beyond his very understanding's of son thinking.
Stubborn damn brat till the end and just Yet it just did made Nicholas proud in his son determinations and just couldn't help but feel the very smattering of pride at how much his very only one son Jaune had come to resemble him over the years, despite his very wish that's it was otherwise concerning for the family's and then his very own wish for his safety as then he's just doesn't want his son to be a very things what his very family's have beens for more as then generation's by now And as oh how he wished his son might be a lord or something else entirely. "I get that dad and it's very dangerous business father but then asshouldn't you be proud of me your very son for wanting to help very humanity !? As To-To just put myself just in service of something greater like you or our very ancestry's just have done for generations by now did ! As just Why's can't you just let—!?" As then he was interrupted by his father "It's because of what I did because I did out of lack of options and it's was out of my free well and We all at the times just didn't have choices back then as I was training by my very grandfather as an safety precautions at the time as it's was then what's we all have struggles in the process and survival for us all at the time and our actions was depending upon it to do for our very family survival very has much dependent upon that's why I know better's than you jaune as it is not game's of heroes just like in the very story you or your sister read or watch now by now ! As It's is a very much differences kind of businesses as it's is just not like the very your fantasys now !!! You just really think become a huntsman will help others no son that is a fat lie and as I have seen as many more as before you going's down to this very line and they all have nearly the same results in the end and still then in the end as you Still pleading with me now it just as wouldn't just gettings yourself killed will he will able help or-or stop the Grimm !? You'll end up dying for nothing's, son !! ! In some godforsaken ditch in the middles of nowhere that's my forefather's has suffered over more than a centuries by now !" As his father told him as well then "As Not if you train me !" As then jaune as firing back again toward's his very father as he's just alway's trys to pleading with him to just train him just like him as to be just as huntsman but still then as he's just kept on reusings him for Many year's by now as but just what I have to do to just prove myself' As Jaune thoughts 'This boy, I swear.... just stop ' Like father, like son.
As the fire burned in the eye's of all Arcs—a flame of ambition that's just have been passed down as from generation from generation by now and just as that's drove them all to achieve greater height's beyond as that's of ordinary men can just achieve in the end but
then it even brought manys has to there very death's in the end as It was why their family was so renowned in Remnant, and famous for producing a long line of powerful warriors and there very kings that stretched back through as the ages of there's world very history and then the very knight order and organisation they all build just together over the year's now has Even if their's very fame had just diminished over as the very decades and as purposefully, on their's very part but that just didn't matter in the end as we'll it to Nicholas nothing was more terrifying than seeing his children very grave Infront of him that same flame as reflected so vividly in his son and then in the end like all flames
it needed to be instinguished before it just consumed everything in its his very path "I won't train you, Jaune ! AS End of discussion !" If only that were just true as well They'd both been just engaged in this very same arguments, this same disagreement, for what felt like year's as Oh sure, there'd be day's—month's and as even of peace between the two no vitriol exchanged, no tempers flared. Just it was serenity and love now.
But the very conflict alway's returned, as lurking like a leviathan beneath the wave's. This occasions was no different just save for Nicholas's very much voice has raised against his very son as He's just always never understands about his situations that he is getting his hands dirty in as it's just not a normal job or duty It's is something's more It's not a game It's a burden that's they all just must carry at one point has his son had a choice to change different paths as he's can choose something's different on this much a cursed path and then His son doesn't the very first thing about being a hero at all as He thinks becoming a huntsman makes him a hero but no as just beings an huntsman or just beings a hero are two different things entirely and he doesn't knows the difference between Now, as that's was a recent development as that still made him very inmature and as He is not already to take him a family true name and as it's very weapon and training's and He's still doesn't understands at all "Wha—you can't just deny me like that ! I just have every right to make my own choices ! I wanted to be a huntsman just like my ancestor's and heroe's before then It's my damn life!" It's was just a childish rebuttal and under normal circumstance's, ' That boy is still an idiot now and still doesn't understand that his family will never just been huntsman they we're warrior's and Knight's and they have been heroes for their actions as They have done for everyone's sake time to protect their very families huntsman's as they're we're not has they all just hate what huntsman we're just hypocrites playing heroes I am the only one in the whole family as who's been a hunterman both would've recognized has that's Just because you control your life doesn't has necessarily make it yours as After all, and why would people just protect other's if they placed no value on a separate soul ? Why would they keep themselves safe as if not to ease the worry that a loved one felts on theirs very behalf ? As the very choices one makes in life are just ultimately made by the individual, of courses. But the influences that's shape thoses choices are just often driven in thought by other's Or just because of them alone but as Jaune knew this well, and even as if he'd conveniently forgotten now it's in the heat of the very moments that's make us what's we need to be better now. "I said this discussions is over !" As Neither side was yielding to the very others side a formidable wall, with armed sentries stationed every fifty feet, just had been erected betweens the two, and theirs respective opinions irreconcilable. Ah, the very intense as anger that arises from profound familial love as How vexing that very anger can be when it overrides all common sense between two bullheaded men as then very has Reduced to quick stammers and grunt's, as face near steaming, Jaune turned on his heels and stormed out of the very living room toward the front door and right now He just needed space has they both need some air between them has just But mostly space because at that moment as he couldn't bear to look at his very father any longer. And then As What's the hell was he thinking's ? To deny him something's as he dreamed of since he was barely out of diapers—something his father himself had done for year's And for what ? As It's a costly role, sure, but as shouldn't the fact's that Jaune would be helping people's be enough to sway his opinion ? Evidently not for Nicholas, as who threw his arms up in defeat as he watched his son slam the door on his way out as A powerful grimaces adorned him as he's placed a hand over the bridge of his nose—a futile attempt to soothe his anger Something's he found out immediately as deciding to give up and just walk over to the sofa beside him as searching for any scrap of comfort left in the house and as then sitting down on the sofa and let out a sight and That...… was exhausting as what's is he going to do about his son.
"Well you just certainly handled it well." As then voice from behind and has prompted Nicholas to look over his shoulder and as spying a beautiful blonde woman just with sapphire-blue eye's, and just as dressed in a modest white t-shirt and just normal blue Jean's and then a white scarf around her head covering it as she looked and as asked her husband about the situation He's sighed. "Just How much did you hear now ?" As he asked her and as she's just looked at him has for a moments "just Enough," As that was just the very as much of a response he needs to know what was just coming next But then before a pair of arms was then on his very shoulders as it's was just as showing him comfort and then support has the very slender figure sitting beside him Nicholas just knows about his wife As he was one of the most fortunate man in the whole world that's he was having a wife that's who cared so deeply for him and their's very children who's was still willing to put up with his more….... ostentatious traits. She's was such a blessing as Juniper—a true saint in described by many as who have met the very woman and just still doing as everything to just calm her very husband after that's tiring calamity just now. "just….... Haven't seen you get that heated in years now Nicky I was just then started to think a you might as just start to just swinging at our little baby." Sarcasm laced her tone and a little concerned about her husband and..... her son at some point as Juniper had no doubt that's Nicky would never harm theirs son but now as he just
won't listen anymore to her or just to his very father as she's might just given her son a little beating as then a warning to him as she's just hates the idea but child can be unreasonable at time's but then again the very underlying as the very messages was clear and He'd allowed his emotion's has to get the better of him—of both of them but then Instead of a civil conversations between father and son, as the whole thing devolved into a rage-fueled sparring match one that should not have occurred even under as the very much worst of circumstances as she thought and then as she's just looked her very husband " so...…... Then Another's swing-and-a-miss for the books, eh, Nicky ?" As she asked him with a smile on her face as then her very husband started to look at her as then he let out sight and spoke "It's just that's boy just … infuriated him to just no end ! Why's couldn't Jaune...Just see the very dangers of treading this path and... Then the very responsibilities in this very path and the very sacrifice it would entail ?" As he told her and she's just listen to him "You know about this very path and a just as how many have just died by now and what we had to do to get here....….I'd never went our son go down to this path and suffer now… but then It's just… Jaune is… is so—" As then he was interrupted by her now " let me guess Stubborn ? Dumb And as Unwilling to listen to reason's at times and then try to do something's very very stupid ?" Juniper offered her very opinions to her very husband and as then she's just started to stared toward him with just single eyebrows arched just now
"Yes!"
Just then a single eyebrow straight started arched as the conversations fell silent as Why was she's looking at him like that ? As he started to think about it and as he looked at his very wife as she's was looking at him as he just might understand as guessed about it's by now.

As then he just then started to realised after a little bit later that what's she just might now and then he's just started just groaned has right in the very realise of it as and then just As much as Nicholas hated to admit it himself now, and that's his very son Jaune was the spitting image of him and his very father and his very uncle and when there were in there very much in his younger years: brash, impulsive, as yet beating with a heart of gold and just an unyieldingly desires to help others... Just like him in every way…Dammit, all just as why couldn't he's have grown up like his very own sister like Saphron or Jade ? At this very point but At least they're were willing to take on safe job and a yet meaningful jobs without worrying the living crap out of them every day till now and just then What was so wrongs with that's ? As then why couldn't Jaune just understand the very situation that as he just digging himself into now ?' As he's thought and then he's was Leaning back into the cushion's, he stared up at the ceiling of his home, taking in its bland features as he closed his eye's. "What am I going to do with him,..... June ? He just won't listen to me anymore and then I am tired." As he's told her as then she's just started to think about the very solutions of this for his very own matters "Maybe it's not just about listening " As then she started to think "Maybe he needs to experience it for himself for him to really just understands us all....." As then it is the only reason and way left for then and that he should learn from it now. As she just thought and then ' wait Experience ? Just Wait a minute was As she really considering allowing him to go out and become a huntsman ? Where was the his very wifely support!? "Wha—wait,.... you want him to become a huntsman ?" as he's asked her worrying as why and what she's of all the People would she just consider something like this just Juniper couldn't help but roll her back eyes at the very misguided assumption but then he's is right maybe it's just "No, of course not...., but just what I mean is to just take him out on one of your missions in the next few week's and as then let others around there's to explain him his... roles and responsible and... just Let him get a feel for what it's means to be a real huntsman and then tell him the..... difference just as between hero mean as well as just show him as the very danger and very responsibility that's still well comes with fighting off Grimm's and.... his people's defence in the very matter." As she's just started to ran her fingers through his hair now as then she started to massaging his very scalp. "As Let him see what a huntsman is.... Maybe then he'll get the messages." As she's then just explained to her very husband. But A single finger was raised as he just set about to protest, but the words caught in his throat as the very idea beginning to take hold and just then he started to understand what she might and that's just might be one of the few little options are left Huh....
actually that..….. wasn't actually a bad idea. He could keep an eye on Jaune as while showing that being a guardian of humanity wasn't a goal to be taken lightly, and that's he is the future lord of his region and house name that he will have to inherit one day and as that it required significant sacrifice from anyone who just as walked the paths. And At the very least, just as it'd be more effective at getting the message across as just compared to theirs usual pissing contest's And then what his is telling him A hell of a lot more effective, as but still he's has his doubt about matter has Nicholas just paused at the thought unable to fully embraced it
As just then A small part of him hesitated since it's be purposefully placing his only son on a direct path has fraught with danger as for Killing Grimm's was no joke even for the most veteran of hunters. But then at that moments, the very benefits we're just speaking more loudly just had than the risks, and just especially if it would bring an end to all this very crusade Maybe he just could get a group-necessitated missions to just brings Jaune along and as then a bit more to added protection as for the stubborn brat. And After all, the more, the merrier—and the very less as he'd have to worry with others just monitoring him Hmm and This could actually work if he approached it right way now by then how will as he talk with his very son about it.

Wait a moments what did she said just about just now that was about being a "man-child"? But he just kept that to himself as for now... Probably a best idea not to get into another's losing battle just after having lost one five minutes ago now. As His very pride wouldn't allowed it and he just could only take so much in one day anyways but then again "It's.… really a good idea, June but it ....Great, actually. But you know this could backfire on us, right....?" She's looked away, eyes somber. "…..I know... But I'm not seeing any other options at the moment.....We've tried everything, and Jaune's still just so.....… adamant. I mean, for God's sake....I even saw him asking my very.... friend tera for very swordplay instruction's yesterday." As she told him as he was just more concerned about the Matter "Wha—just really!?" Jaune actually tried to ask her for training him just as of all the.....people in the region ?... The decrepit woman must've torn his very son a new hole for having the ball's to ask.. that's from her of all the people's As he just thought about it "Well then no one else is willing after..... I take to everyone in the region " As she told him as he knows the truth 'threatened them all was the proper word.....' As he thought as he's remembers a dark times when she was a Huntress in duty and the many things that she have done as she saved many people but as she even kill the many people process as we'll she's just had liberated many regions alone and she was what we call a true executioner of human and ..monsters a like and the very things she just had done in the very process as it's still sent Shiva down his spine and As
he thought about it and still wonder to his day as just how a woman has beautiful as Juniper could turn the entire room ice cold with a singles glare was beyond him and but then again what's can he expect from her she's was the in her youth to was killing dragon's and others kind of Grimm's that sent nightmares to others and she's was killing them by herself with her weapon alone and as then was something as Nicholas would never comprehend as she was a Arc herself and she was his cousin to begin with and his family's did have many warrior in there's very ranks now and then now.
"So then he's still breathing at anything at this point." As she said to her husband and it was one thing's he learned never p**** her off in any situation at all and it just well no wonder the Kingdom and as the council went her far away from there very domain as possible and if possible the Kingdom as possible if they're just went to live long enough. An audible sigh escaped as the man has he slumped his head into his hands has wondering and what in God's name was his son was thinking. "I assume tera said..... Yes to him ?" As he's asked his wife... "What do you think ?" As juniper told him as That just sentence alone revealed everything about the old veteran huntness personality as but as
Just How someone's as dangerous and as skilled as tera could ever be a miracle huntsnss was as beyond him Still, a part of him was relieved that's the she just had let Jaune down….....gently then anyone else just alone and he just remembers the bar incident and still as she have the fire to put down just six elites soldiers and hunter down with a pancel alone, At least his son was just running out of options if he's was desperate enough to seek her out and Tera know better to harm or threatened him but then she's just was in the past a acquaintance's with his and with juniper team now. "Look, honey, I know this isn't ideal... But Believe me, I don't want him ending up a huntsman either.... But then still I can't stand to see you two go at each other every other month...." then an darkened light flickered in her very eye's "So, rather than push him away and as maybe just give him a glimpses of what's behinds
the great door. Hopefully, it'll be enough to dissuaded him from everything he imagine it to be end." As she told him. "And if it doesn't ?.... As It truly was a solid plan, but as it was carried the risk of pushing Jaune... deeper into his very passion and do something's else to as The boy was still a child when it's came to these sorts of things and just having not never witnessed or experienced has any of the very hardships that's just practically all hunter as had to endure in the end now.
He was still young—brash, petulant, and naïve.... So, so naïve.- " As he's was interrupted now "Then we'll cross that bridge when we get to it." and then Silence was all that met then the response As A frown was as starting to formed on Nicholas's brow as he agonized over the details, searching for any alternatives that's just might proved more effectively than just Juniper's proposal and then very Unsurprisingly, as he couldn't find anything that's they hadn't already tried and then As much as he would've preferred otherwise, has this seemed to be the only option left. of course as it was. Because it was either this or as just tying him to clean his very bed for all eternity. Yeah, no.....He could do without that And just Juniper, ever observant, noticed his acceptances as a coy grin forming from ear to ear as Nicholas sighed, resigning to as the very idea and "Looks like you've finally made up your very mind. As just Good! Glad to see as you finally acting smart for a change." She's planted an affectionately kiss on his cheek before heading to the kitchen. "We just can talk more about the details with Jaune later." All he could do was stare at her before just breaking into a hearty chuckle Just couldn't help herself, just could she's ? "Ahh,.... you just had to kick me while I'm down, didn't you ?" As he's told him and then she just turn around toward's him " I am serious and as then It's what you signed up for, sweetie~. As when you married me and made children with me and then as when did as I just ever give the impression that's marrying me would be easy, hmm ? You've only yourself to blame...." As Oh, she was blaming him now, was she ?... Stubborn, just lovable angel and as it one of the few freaky ....thing's love about her. "Alright, alright, I understand No need to bust my balls." His hand's just raised in surrender, huffing. "I'd best go and has find where our illustrious son has run off to and just Tell him the good news and all." As he told her before getting up in heading just as towards the door "Not so fast.... May want to give him some time before you do that's As just as let him cool off before you talk as I get the feeling that's if you two we're to hit it off again, as there's won't be much left of Arcade arch to call home". A coy grin just spread, etching across her as the words left her lips. As She's certainly as wasn't above teasing her very husband to keep his temper (and ego) in check from now on has the very unknown consequences the next times now.
'Alright, now I know she's screwing with me,' he just chuckled thoughtfully and has truly what's can he do without her And as the worst part ? She's was right.
Jaune was boiling over like a hot kettle, and Nicholas needed him calm and collected before broaching this again. Or, at least as calm and collected as his Jaune just could be which usually wasn't very much As Still, he got the message. Let Jaune breathe the cool night air for a bit before they got back in the ring and He just hoped that this idea would work out in the end..… and doesn't want his son end up like him... in the very end it's was only because of his wife and his children and his very people that just kept him alive and sane and brought him back to this state and very happy till now and as he just wants his son to be happy like him and to find love and settling down and have children of his own and went him and his very lovely wife to meet his grandchildren and as in the very process just then as just very governing the very much region's like a very proper lord and like his very ancestors before him and just he hopes one day that his very son will try to or as well understands the very reason behinds as his very over protective nature and just where he's is coming from now then as he looked at the night sky from his window one last time and he pray that his son comes home safe and they both and take like family's again but he understands his son intentions but the path he was taking was the wrong one to go achieved what's he needs to do and he knows that's with experience and his very much mistakes and very poor choices in life and the people who just maturelated him into now.
CHANGING LOCATION
ARCH GREEN FOREST
MIDNIGHT
10 MINUTES LATER
POV
"WHISKERS !!!"
Well, that just certainly summarized Jaune's mood at the moment. And Seems his little jaunt into the night hadn't calmed him down quite as quickly as one just might've imagined just Who's would've thoughts ? As He's just stared down at the grassy soil below, as his hands buried in his pockets and his very mind was a chaotic mess, and as walking mindlessly toward and just whatever pastures accepted him first and wasn't helping and as he just wasn't even paying attentions to where he was going, as much less caring about his surroundings as Jaune just wanted—needed—some distance between him and as his old man and just as Lord know's he'd just endured enough of his asinine excuses for one day. "Am I just not good.... enough ? Is…. is it because I'm weak compared to him.… or the other come before him ?" just as Dammit, he's wasn't any good at reading between the lines. His father had always said that being a huntsman was a dangerous role, one filled with little honor and pride, but has just abundant in honest work and respect and as then he just wanted to be a hero like his father and as like his ancestors and to help the world and then just So why would he refuse to train him ? And.... as If it's was just so worthy, why'd he just prevent him from enrolling in places like Signal or Sanctums if it could address his weaknesses ? He could be strong—if only as he were given the very chance to prove himself to be like his family members Ah,...Just stupid goddamn parent's !
Always believing they knew better than him as what's he just constantly telling Jaune that's he should pay more attention to their advice and is very studies and just that's as he's should be concerning himself with huntsman duties or it's responsibilities but then again just even now as there still are reject him and has just preventing him from the coming a hero Well, how just about they listen to him for a change ? Was that such a novel idea !? Was it really so difficult to even try !? And Was there's just any kind of differences between a huntsman and a hero !? As to begin with in his very images as they both are the same thing to begin with and as then his very family have been huntsman for generations by now and they have kill many monster.

A cold gale brushed against Jaune's face, halting to peer up at the very dark night sky above his head as the very shattered moon glowed with an eerie light, standing stalwart as if it were gazing back at the young boy and his eyes just glowing with blue staring towards the darkness and then his very eye's just adjusted to the very darkness, that just illuminating the very surroundings around him as they appeared increasingly vibrant, enhanced by the very faint light that Remnant's moon reflected. He stood at the edge of a dense forest, foliage and bark littering the landscape around him as they swayed in the wind as there was one word he could say to just describe everything just.
..…Beautiful.....
Ansel was part of Arcade region and it's is on of the most beautiful and secured region as in the kingdom and it has it's own military power and it own lord and it was little more than just very old semi-retirement home for hunters and soldier's of past and present and it very fortress of walls make it the most in possible places to invade as from soldiers from Grimm's alike and as then the very bandits have tried crossing and just as even destroying the wall but then they all disappeared one day when military and his mother found out and then she talked with them as the local about it. As it has it has acres of land around it as well and it was told that this very land is old and as it has belongs to the very Arc household for a long time by since the kingdom was established or it just even old then that now and he just doesn't know about it as he was reading his comic book at the time when history class was in session in school few months ago and then his father always told him to just pay attentions to his very school and his very studies more often as they're say he might need it one day now, and jaune just don't see the very use of it in the end of he is going to be a huntsman in the end and then.
As It was ringed by thick vegetation and situated right on the edge of Vale's influence Its quiet and peaceful traits lulled in the breeze, and as Jaune absorbing the sounds of rustling leaves and the occasional cicada drumming in the distance—a hallmark of a very much backwater town that's bore no resemblance to the chaotic metropolises like the capital at all and the very region belongs to his family for generations and as he just still doesn't understand why he has to govern it and not just be a hero like his ancestors in the past now has It's still had it's usual outside traffic mostly from the as then they have branch office nestled in the town center, but its arcadian stillness never truly left as It was… serene—tranquil, even And as just what Jaune needed and It was strange how the subtle movements of insects or has the gentle crackling of leaves could help calm as his racing thoughts and he just did loved Ansel—with all his heart, As he just cherished the very people here, valued as the friendships he'd formed. Rooted in this modest company he adored the family that raised him and the life he'd built there with them and It meant everything to him and All the more reason to become a hero right ? To just become someone's capable of protecting this very little town as that had given him so much Jaune drew in a deep breath and then started to remember has what his father was saying to him and just understand what he was trying to say to him Ahh…man…. I shouldn't have snapped at dad like that. He… he only does what he does because he loves me, not because he thinks otherwise.' As he did as Jaune started to just feel bad what he just did and That he did as Jaune just would always stand by his very beliefs and just as his very father taught him But… admittedly, he still had a long way to go before he could properly portray them. He was still a teenager, after all now and then Anger sometimes came too easily for him as He just sighed. "Ah, dammit. I left my scroll at home… I should head back." This was one apology Jaune was not looking forward to, but knew needed to be said. Turning away from the forest, he began his very way back home as it is midnight anyway
*SHINK*
If only he ever got the chance to do so. The moment he turned, something sharp pierced his chest, a squelching sound emanating from below his ears. Shock and surprise soon enveloped Jaune as his body felt a sudden heat scythe through him. It wasn't until a few seconds after as he just started process now and lowered his head that he finally realized what had happened just now.
'What's…?'
As just Four large and blood-soaked claws protruded from his very torso, as embedding themselves deeply in his back as they just stretched through his very chest as then few seconds later Pain shot through him, but no sound was made from the agony; the sheer absurdity of it all halted his voice, his scream lodged in his very throat at the moment now.
He just went silent as the very grave as he was just Stabbed…he was stabbed by just… noe oh God, he was fucking stabbed! Blood pooled in his mouth at the very horrifying realization, an unrelenting torrent of his life essence draining from where the claws had pierced his very flesh as The hot, searing pain that had consumed him soon faded into numbness, his consciousness slipping away along with his very heart and lungs just now.As There was just no way just either was still intact Jaune felt no strength returning as the claws slowly retracted, his legs giving out as he was only still standing from the beast's hand, supporting him As then He collapsed face-first onto the ground below, a silent rustle of grass sounding his fall. The scent of blood and soil filled his nose as he lay there, dying on the very cold earth beaten him and His only solace being that he no longer felt any kind of pain anymore Huh… So this is how it ends for him: no glorious battle cry, no vanquished enemy before him, no lover to weep his name as he departs from this world just Nothing Just the very shattered moon just hovered above, its imagined gaze fixed unwaveringly on the young blonde who'd been alive and healthy only moments ago. How pathetic was that now ? As he thought.
'…I…I'm…'Jaune's very eyes soon lost their luster as his body sank into complete relaxation, the azure light coating his visage. He didn't know how death would feel, but surprisingly, it just felt… very warm as Like huddling around a gentle fire. Maybe it was just the residual heat of his blood radiating from his chest. Maybe it was a hallucination, a distortion of reality brought on by the very overwhelming shock Or maybe he just was going to finally meeting God for the very first time or in other words the last time Wouldn't that be something now ? Maybe it was all of these things maybe it was none of them now What did it matter now ? All Jaune felt—all he knew—was that dying… didn't feel all that bad at all now as now he was getting sleepy.

As then Slowly, as then almost hesitantly, the sphere of light began to move through the air, leavings a trail of shimmering light in its wake. As It's always twisting and turning, but just never rising or falling, the sphere began to pick up speed as an image just as began to form from its trailing lights and but has just Like just a paintbrush on canvas, the sphere drew a circle in the air. And within that very circle was another circle, and then the third one within the second. As Between the borders of the circles we're string's of archaic runes, numbering in the hundreds, leisurely revolving within the limited space within the very boundary of the very circles and When the sphere at last appeared to have finished its work, it hung in place has motionless for a few moments, before slowly drifting towards the very heart of the design, to the small patch of empty space located in the middles of the smallest circle. Aligning itself in the center of the magic circle, it's pulsed once and then twice, before it unfolded like the petals of a flower. The former sphere twisted into a new form, a two-dimensional shape that was clearly a symbol of some kind though one far too complex to be a mere rune and vaguely resembled a stylized necklace just then now Once the symbol was completely formed, it started to glow. Radiating a light so bright and blue, it appeared to have been set aflame from within which soon began to spread as the rest of the magic circle began to glow in turn and then someone else could be seen as she was staring at the blonde boy but as her very golden eyes kept on moving in the darkness of the forest as she's started to come out of the very shadow as she was wearing a black full body suit as she was looking at the perpetuator who was next to her very friend and master right now as both of them started to exchange dialogue but know one can just hear them Once the circle began to shine to the point that it was almost too bright to see, a figure started to emerge from the surface of the circle. The top of her head was the first things to appear, revealing a raven black hair, which was soon followed by the rest of her body. Once her very feet were pulled out of the magic circle, she hung above the circle, and as momentarily suspended in the air as her toes dangled just inches above the circle as the it's very job was unknown but then it was just now completed, and the magic circle began to disperse into specks of blue light which and soon faded into nothings. The figure slowly drifted to the ground, and once her feets was firmly planted on the ground and then it looked at him one last time and as left him with one day " Your time is not done here" As it told him before leaving him. " But your is" As it was then clash of steel could be heard in the forest as the birds flew away from the area and Grimm's as just started to get closer to the area now and to the battle.
As then A pair of eyes snapped wide, an open mouth gasping for air as the boy's eyes darted around him. His body rolled to the side and quickly rose to its feet, hands instinctively reaching for something on his hip,
only to grasp empty air when they reached his waist and then started to look as around him and realised where he's was now as before he can say something as then a growling can be hard and just know what it means and then he started to run back home As the very night in the Arcade of arches was just peacefully as always as the very crowded street's and highways of Vale sang a choir of traffic has the lights of lamps, cars, and buildings illuminated as the very city as the very soprano of this choir, and roaring down has the highway and towards downtown just now and as the unknown entity moved around the area and as very region unnoticed by there very resident now as then back in the forest golden eyes could be seen as she was dealing with the last of the monsters that's just try to hurt her master again and As she's saw blonde leave towards the tree house for shoulder and it was her duty keep him safe and who ever this person just help her master is in a good graces but unknowns as the entity was and she started to move aways in the forest as pursuing any other progress or as problems.
The girl seemed startled, shock written clearly on her face as she stared at the human skinned demon. For a time, the world around them seemed to freeze has the girl simply stared at the boy in incomprehension. Slowly, the girl's frame began to shudder slightly. The shudder quickly grew and grew until it sent her whole body trembling. From between as just her very tightly clenched lips, a small laugh brought out as She threw her head back and laughed. As She then laughed and laughed so long and loud it appeared that it will never end. However, there's was nothing malicious in that's laughter. On the very contrary, it's was a joy filled one. It was a pure thing, just like rays of sunshine after an endless storm. As she just could not help but smile. I could not help but laugh has I released my joy to the world. showing the world my most joyful laugh since the last few decade The laughter of one whose hope was renewed long after all hope was lost now As just I have found you and At long last, as I had finally found my lost 'treasure' as It was the laughter of a tired soul that finally found a home but then again her very work in not done just yet It just seemed to go on forever, as but when her laughter finally ended, she lowered her head and gazed at the very world through as the eyes the color of brilliant violet as her very eyes shone with as unshed tears as she just looked upon the boy and asked a single question when she just met him a long time ago and but then again this is the very new story
"As I just still remember it till this very day has we just first met and tried to kill each other as A we'll the very remember the moments where I heard your name for the first time and as your very sword in my very chest and I knew my task was at hand and I have gained a new task in the process and just this is how my story began in this new world as I am just a soldiers who's looking for his purpose and I think I found it and that's is to be something's more than my wildest dreams as this is how my story as began or just coming to it very end but then I will be free As she's thought as looked on the very kingdom and then the people walking has down there who don't know what come in their future.
