It's a Ren and Nora backstory before coming to Beacon. Enjoy.
It was another day in a small village closer inland to Vale. In this village, there wasn't any notable monuments or buildings. The people that stayed in this town were ordinary and lived mundane lives. Due to the natural borders surrounding the town, Grimm rarely attacked the civilization.
In the middle of the town, you could find a large inn. Most of the citizens stayed at the inn because it was just easier for them.
This inn was called Lie's Inn. It had been run by the Lie family ever since it was created. On this chilly morning, most of the Lie family began to wake up.
Lie Ren opened his eyes and stared at the wooden ceiling. It had been another peaceful dreamless night. Lie quickly and quietly got up and performed his morning rituals. Brush his teeth, put away the mattress and head for the kitchen where he started on making breakfast.
When Ren was just a little baby, his parents found that he was an unbelievable talent for cooking. Since that day Ren's uncle taught him how to prepare a multitude of foods and placed him on meal duty. This morning, he was making pancakes, eggs, bacon, and a variety of other breakfast foods. He was accompanied with his uncle who was the main chef of the inn.
The sun started to rise over the horizon just as Ren and his uncle finished setting up the buffet styled breakfast. People started filling up the tables in the mess hall. Ren continued to tirelessly work through the entire breakfast time, since there were plenty of people still waiting to get food.
"Ren, why don't you take a break." suggested his uncle. "There aren't many more people coming in, so I can handle it. Go grab yourself some breakfast."
Ren nodded without voicing a reply. He untied his apron and grabbed a stack of pancakes. He silently walked into the corner of the room and ate as he watched the morning sun. Just then, he saw something in the horizon.
Three specks slowly coming towards the inn.
Immediately Ren scarfed down the pancakes and hurriedly put his plate away. They were coming. Ren sprinted as fast as his five year old legs could take him. He found his father chatting with one of the current residents. Ren slowed into a walk and approached his father.
"Father," Ren greeted. "'They' are coming."
Ren's father understood the message. "Take care of preparations."
Ren excused himself and hurried along. He ran to the front counter and grabbed a key to one of the rooms. Making his way into the highest floor in the inn. The rooms on this floor were given to the wealthiest visitors of the inn.
The door leading to this room was different from all the other rooms in the inn. First off, the door was large and seemed to have an extremely large space on the other side. There was a second thing about the door that made it stand out from every other door.
It was a shocking pink.
Ren opened the door and walked inside. There was a large open area with TV and couch. There were also other doors that lead to private rooms Ren ignored the other doors and walked towards the window situated on the other side of the room. The window provided with a lovely scenery around town. Ren looked to his right where a large tree stood tall. From the window, a person could easily get into the tree.
With the window open, Ren turned around and began heading downstairs to greet the incoming guests. However, as he was about to leave, something jumped at him from behind causing him to fall to the ground. If this had happened a year ago, he would have been frightened out of his mind, yet as he fell to the floor he stayed calm and quiet.
"REN! I'M BACK!" squealed the thing that was on top of him. Hearing the voice, Ren confirmed what had assaulted him.
"Welcome home," responded Ren as he had a dozen times before. The person on him was indeed the visitor that he saw approaching the inn. More specifically, it was the daughter of the family. She was always energetic and extroverted. She was risk taking and mischievous. She was Ren's one and only friend.
She was Nora Valkyrie.
Boy, this was extremely short. I'll try to get the next parts as out soon as possible. Until then, three cheers for Renora!
