Hello, I'm J.G. and this is something thats been cooking up in my brain for the last few days so I decided to write about it. Well, thats all I have to say enjoy.

I do not own RWBY. RWBY is property of Rooster Teeth.

Prologue

(Set before RWBY Volume 1)

It was a big day for five children from a village on the outskirts of Vale, because today was the day their dreams of becoming Hunters and Huntresses would become reality, well for most of them at least. Magenta Maxis, Gwyn Conners, Mathew Blaze, and Jet Farrow. These children had already unlocked their auras even though they were 12-13 years old, had a good build for their age and were prodigies, especially Jet, when it came to combat. The whole village was sure that they would easily impress headmasters of academies, such as Signal, at the showcase. However ,it was the fifth child that everyone was worried about, the boy was skinny and even though he was quick and agile he was far from a prodigy when it came to combat, but the worst part was when his friend Gwyn tried to unlock his aura, it was discovered that he had none, but he kept dreaming and telling everyone he was going to become a Hunter, so he participated in the showcase anyway. The boy's name was Judai Grayson.

It came to no surprise when the news that Magenta, Gwyn, Mathew, and Jet had returned to the village announcing that they had been accepted to Signal, but when asked about Judai, who was not with them, they said that he was rejected by every headmaster not only because of his skill or lack of, but due to the fact that he had no aura and the headmasters were not willing to risk his life. Soon after they packed their belongings and headed for Signal to start their journey to become Hunters an Huntresses, while Judai never came back or so they thought.

Judai did come back but he didn't come back to his house, instead he spent his days on a hidden fort up on a high tree near the village, only sneaking into the village's town hall for food and water. He knew what he was doing was foolish, but he just didn't want come back as the boy who was rejected by every academy, he felt it would just prove that everyone was right that he was a failure, and that he wasn't cut out to be a hunter. Little did he know that there was a cloaked man who carefully watched Judai. He watched him when sneaking past a lot of people using swift movements and the cover of night, to steal food and afterwards, navigate the forest and climb very high trees to reach his little fort. The cloaked man smirked and said, "He's the one."

Well that's it for the prologue sorry that its short, and if it comes across as rushed. Just to clarify, more will be revealed about Judai, his relationsip with the others…etc. as the story progresses. And yes, he will encounter Team RWBY, JNPR, and others in due time. So yeah I hope you all enjoy this, and if you have any comments, constructive criticism, or corny jokes. Comment or PM me. See Ya.
