Atlas do to population and a need for more military bases has been expanding south to the more warmer parts of the country they inhabit.
While slow they have made progress through the use of their military and hunters, Qrow was one such hunter, little did he know he would make a discovery that would change every thing.
It was a clear night and had just enough chill in the air to keep him awake for hours and some how enhance the beauty of the forest around him.
But he currently could not worry about that, only running, he had literally shook the nest of nevermores and now 10 were chasing him down.
Jumping and dodging through the forest, he had been running for what felt like days. Silently cursing his alcohol addiction for getting him into this mess, why did he just have to retrieve his flask.
narrowly avoiding a feather that managed rip his right sleeve, sucking in a sharp breath and pushing through the pain, he put an a extra burst of speed.
Suddenly he came into a clearing and saw village and ran towards it to at least warn the residents to either get to safety or help with defense.
Running to the fist person he saw he said in a exhausted voice " Quick there are 10 nevermore heading this way alert the village to hide or help me fight them off."
The man he went to was a faunus that had deer antlers, each antler had 15 points on them, the fannus was around 50 years old and wore a heavy robe while each tip of his antlers had a small 1 inch tassel on them. All in all with the massive set of antlers, his clothing and his age gave him a wise man look or something akin to a shaman from the old times.
But now was not the time to respect his elders, Qrow suddenly grabbed the man by his collar and pulled him closer and yelled at the man after said man tilted his head slightly and gave him a quizzical look. "Did you not here me we need to do something or the grim are going to overrun this village and kill every one if we do not kill them."
The man turning his head back to the forest then up to look at the sky to see the nevermores land on the trees bordering the town. Qrow looking and seeing the same thing saw only 200 feet of clearing between the town and grim let the man go and was about to go find someone else to warn when realization struck him, the grim had landed on the out skirts of town not flew into. That's when the old man spoke in a strange thick accent " Do not worry young frightened one the grimm have not attacked a settlement of the Neroimus region for around 80 years, the clothes you wear suggest you are not from around here. look back at the grim that chased you here and tell me what you see."
Qrow doing so looked back at the nevermores and saw a detail he should have noticed right from the start these grim were armored but not with bone like they usually are but armored with metal that was man made, all of them had armor covering the tops of there wings witch went on to connect with the main armor that came to the front of the body which was decorated with a flag of some sort, one nevermore bent low to give a shriek of anger and he saw a saddle built into the armor.
" What the hell! " was Qrows only thought before the old man spoke again.
" I see the look on your face. Those nevermore are part of the air force of Morskoj a sub-country of Neroimus and at meant to block outsiders like yourself from coming through the isolation barrier."
Qrow just stood there in a confused state.
The old faunus said " My name is Lee if you would follow me to my house I will explain every thing and answer any questions you might have. Its supposed to snow tonight."
Qrow looked at him before he suddenly notice how much colder it had gotten nodded and followed Lee a few houses down before the faunus unlocked his house with a old fashioned key and upon entering he reached for his weapon on reflex because laying on a rug in front of the fire place was a beowolf.
The beowolf sensing somebody new looked at Qrow before curling back into a ball and let out a large exhale of air before falling back asleep.
Lee noticed the tension that Qrow had displayed and said " Relax Furcain is what you would call laid back she only gets riled up if tease her with a treat."
At that the ears on Furcain stood up but other than that there was no other move ment.
Lee sat in a wooden rocking chair before continuing " Before we start what is your name stranger."
Qrow sat in what appeared to be a wicker chair. " My name is Qrow and my first question is why do you have a beowolf in your living room."
Lee smiled " That is actually a long story but to fully under stand it I would have to start at the beginning."
Qrow leaning back said " I have nothing but time
Lee also leaning back " very well I happened some 2000 years ago the grim were over running our borders and we called atlas for help. But as you can see no sort of help arrived. The grim were over running us and it truly seemed as if Neroimus would fall until a young man appeared."
Qrow raising his brow asked " How did one single person man turn that tide."
At the question Lee smiled " I is said that the man was so selfless and so humble that any grimm no mattered how enraged would be pacified by this young mans smile."
"His smile I don't believe you I bet you my flask that it was his semblance that did it."
" You maybe right it is well documented that his semblance was creation."
Qrow yet again raised an eye brow.
Lee seeing this said " It was said he use his semblance and create a field filled with the most delicious of fruit out of barren desert land. So in a way most believed he used his semblance to create a peace with the grim and it is also said that the grimm bowed to him in humility and that when Traigeer the god and creator of the grimm came to strike down this man who had his grimm bow to him also found such humility in this mans presence that it infuriated him cursed him and his descendants that they would absorb all negative effects that the people that stood in the kingdom of Neroimus would generate, the same effects that the grimm feed upon and were created from till the end of time. But Traigeer could not believe what he saw, this man was stood as he was but soon the mans smile went from humble to beaming. The man saying 'Thank you for the people within the borders of Neroimus will no longer suffer any pain and I will gladly except this gift of yours.' Traigeer was so enraged that he tore him self to nothing."
Suddenly a cuckoo clock above the mantle chimed startling Qrow.
Both looking at the time. The clock reading 12:00 midnight.
Lee sighed and said " It would appear that it is late you can stay in the guest room down the hall for tonight if you want."
Qrow thanking Lee made it to the room and laid on the bed and went to sleep.
