A man in armor of the deepest gray was cross legged in an endless black emptiness, this emptiness is known as the Void. A place that is worse than hell to be sent to. But here he was, condemned by the man who gave the four maidens of the seasons their powers, lurking in this dark pit of nothingness called a void for eternity after he decimated the first maidens and the first silver eye bearer.
But no seal is perfect. Before this man was sealed, he altered the magic used to seal him away in this god-forsaken place.
He gave something perfect, an error.
He changed it so when the cycle of the maidens was altered,even the slightest bit, he would be free at the location of this anomaly. And so he has been waiting here for thousands of years sitting and planning his revenge. He knew that the old man would not be around when he came back. So he planned his vengeance against everything the old man cared about; Humans, Faunus people, The Maidens, and Salem. If anyone else were to be in his position, they would have gone insane or simply would have stopped thinking, but he was different, better, stronger than they will ever comprehend to be, all because he had his plans of hate and anger to fuel him with pure rage and fury to end all life...to end the world.
He had an army more stronger and more fiercer than Salem herself and those puny meat-bags,called Humans, will never be able to comprehend such a power. An force so unstoppable, that even the silver eye bearers were nothing more than pests against his pawns of destruction. What he had...is Monsters and Dragons. He in fact had attributes of his soldiers himself. His armor bears the face of a wolf with red eyes while he himself bears a dragon tail and wings.
But enough about his appearance. The time of his freedom is soon.
"No... please" the Fall Maiden feebly crawling away pleads. 'Pathetic' her current pursuer is thinking. This woman is none other than Cinder Fall. She begins extending her hand to the Maiden's face as a black parasitic Grimm exits her glove and attaches to the Maiden's face. An orange energy begins leaving the Maiden on the ground and begins entering Cinder.
A man with scruffy black hair and stubble runs at her half way through the transfer and begins fighting Cinder and her mlackeys. Eventually they begin running off.
The man then wordlessly picked up the unconscious and severely injured Maiden. He then hears a faint hum and turns behind him to see a ethereal grey line in the air a few meters away. He then puts the Maiden down and draws his black and red sword as it begins widening. He braces for combat as a grey armored hand at least the size of his If not bigger. The rest of the armored being exits the portal with his other hand over his eyes. After allowing his eyes to adjust he looks around and his eyes widen beneath his armor.
"I-I'm back. After all these years I'm back. Yes. YES. YEESSS!" He begins laughing like a maniac. He turns to the man in black and stops laughing. The man in black breaks the silence. "Who are you." The man in grey ponders this. "I said state your name!" The man in black states agitated. The man in grey looks at him as he stops pondering. "Who are you to think you can order me around! If you must know I am the grey scourge, ARKVELNON BLACKWOOD!" He exclaims. 'This guy's a loon, ain't never heard of a grey scourge. Ah well he's probably with Salem and those three I Just chased off.' The man in black then lashes out with his sword while saying. "Sorry pal but you've seen too much. I gotta kill ya now." The man in grey who we will call Ark now, lazily jumped over the man in black's sword, who is known as Qrow and brandished his own great sword that had two holes in it one above other that made it look like it was two curved blades smacked together. "Very well, I will need to see if I'm rusty after all these years after all. Prepare yourself." Ark then took a one armed stance with the blade in front of him.
The two swordsmen charged each other and began furiously fighting. Although it looked close, Qrow was slowly getting more and more injuries. 'Gah this guy doesn't even look like he's trying!' This thought was accentuated by the bored look on Ark's face. 'With the way this guy was talking I would've thought he was at least half my level. But this is not even .0001 percent! I've had to hold back just not to destroy him in a nanosecond!' Ark was now feeling secure enough to begin taunting. "I'll let you run with the little girl if you want to!" He offered jokingly. "Gonna have to take you up on that pal!" Qrow really did need to retreat and tell Ozpin about this guy. Qrow broke the clash and ran to where the Maiden was left and began sprinting back to Vale. He turned up his intercom and yelled to Ozpin, "I NEED EVAC NOW!" Ozpin calm as ever ordered a bullhead to go and pick Qrow up.
A man in a giant tower sat in a room filled with clockwork. This man was spectacled and wearing green dress clothes. This man is Ozpin. "So please elaborate on what has happened." A few minutes after Qrow had returned the Fall Maiden had been taken to a medical bay at the bottom of the tower. Qrow then barged into the room. "I'll tell you what happened. I was off doing a mission and I heard Amber scream. I ran as fast as I could and saw 3 people standing around her with one standing over grabbing her face and some orange energy exiting and entering her attacker." Ozpin's eyes widen slightly but other than sipping his coffee no reaction is given. "Elaborate please Mr. Qrow." Qrow takes a deep breath to continue. "After I chased those three off I prepared to take Amber back here. Out of nowhere some grey line opens up in the sky and a guy comes out of it and starts laughing like a maniac!" He accentuates this with a waving of his hands. "Please describe what his appearance was." Ozpin asks passive as ever. "He had a grey motif going on. His armor had a wolf's face and he had a dragon's wings and tail." At this Ozpin demands "did he give you his name!" 'Geez must be an important guy if Ozpin's losing his cool.' Qrow thought to himself. "He introduced himself as the Grey Scourge Arkvelnon Blackwood." Ozpin promptly loses the calmness he is known for. "No no no no no NO! How could she be so stupid! He was never supposed to come back!" Ozpin begins yelling bloody murder.
Qrow is genuinely scared now as if Ozpin is willing to lose to his cool about you your extremely important. "What are you talking about Oz!" Qrow yells at the green wearing man. Ozpin then takes several extremely deep breaths and turns around to the elevator. "If you want to know follow me." Qrow took that offer and entered the elevator as it went to the ground floor.
"There's nothing on the bottom floor Oz." Qrow was wondering why they were heading to the entrance. "I'm thinking Glynda and Ironwood need to know this too." Ozpin now calm again expresses to Qrow. "Stay here while I get them, Ironwood happened to be visiting today." Ozpin says as he walks off.
Around thirty minutes later Ozpin returned with Glynda and Ironwood following him. "Come on everyone in the elevator." Ozpin ushers them in as he sets the elevator for the vault floor. "What is so important that we needed to stop what we were doing just to head to a floor we all know about." Ironwood inquires. "A thousand year old threat even stronger than the Grimm has reawakened thanks to one of Her lackeys." Ozpin states quietly.
After arriving to the vault Ozpin navigates the clutter until he finds a journal around the size of his head and places it on the table rubbing off the dust. All three visitors widen their eyes to the size of plates. "T-The Wizards journal! Just how did you get this Ozpin!" Glynda exclaims astonished. Ozpin however ignores her while looking for a certain page. He reaches a page labeled the Grey Scourge and backs up gesturing for them to read it. Glynda begins reading it out loud. "This is written as a warning for everyone in the future. I have had to sacrifice most of my power to seal away something stronger than all four of the original Maidens and hopefully what will be the first of many silver eye bearers. His name was Arkvelnon Blackwood, the Grey Scourge. After I learned of his presence and his deeds of killing the Maidens and The silver eye bearer, I set off to slay him. I need not go far as he was slaughtering a rather large village with an army of beasts as endless and fiercer than the Grimm. We clashed and after a week of straight battling I finally managed to seal him away at the cost of most of my powers and my immortality. But before I sealed him away he altered the seal in a way I do not know. I Just know when he comes back, unless the Grimm and humanity ally we will all die. Even then survival is not assured.
Signed, Johnathan Season."
After everyone had read it through they all sat in silence. Ironwood then finally spoke up, "I say we go to immediate war with this man and smite him with the might of Atlas!" Ozpin begins rubbing his temples, "Ironwood did you not read the journal! Unless you want a dead country on your hands I recommend we think rationally about this!" Glynda then spoke up herself, "Will we tell the public? And if so how?" Qrow spoke up with his own answer, "Well we should definitely tell the public and not wait for a new army to show up at their door. But how is something we have to have Ozpin decide."
They all look to Ozpin as he is sitting and thinking "We can't reveal his connection to the Maidens or the silver eye bearers or we will have to tell them that too. Qrow make sure Raven does not search out Arkvelnon as if she finds him she will die. None of us are able to best him in single man combat, but we can do something we do best to stand a change against this threat...defend. Ironwood get your army ready to defend the kingdoms, you control the most advance army out of the four kingdoms so we can't afford to lose them. Glynda help me formulate a speech that will be broadcast throughout the four kingdoms." He plans what can be humanity's...or better yet the world's last hope of survival before setting off to their assigned duties. A duty that started this group in the first place, to defend humanity from the creatures of darkness, and now this old villain that threatens the world's very existence. This plan may not be perfect, but it's all they have.
A war is coming, a war of survival, and there is only room for one victor
Chapter one End.
