A/N: hello everyone I just wanted to tell you that this is my first fanfic that I'm writing and I hope you enjoy

After a rigorous fight with the orphan of kos, two hunters fought tooth and nail to put a end to the godforsaken, nightmare but only to end up with feelings of despair and sadness. "*sob* will this nightmare ever end? *sob*" said one hunter, the other hunter looks at his companion with sadden eyes not wanting to see her in such a state. "Eventually it will have too…right?" He said to her. The male hunter then walked towards the crying female hunter surprising her with a soft embrace "it will end sooner or later I'm sure of it, you remember the promise we made" she nods "we promised we would finish this together." She said

"And find each other in the waking world" he finished

They both smile at each other, the mood seemingly lighten up a bit, they soon started to leave the shore and head towards the lamp that took them to the hunter's dream.

Once they arrived they were greeted by the doll "oh young hunters gehrman is waiting for you two at the foot of the great tree." The doll said

The two hunters look at each other in confusion then back to the doll, she gestures towards the garden entrance, they head to where gehrman was at and to their surprise they see someone else with him, conversing with one another but what shocked them was that who gehrman was talking to, it was a crow, both young hunters were stunned beyond belief and both gehrman and the crow turned to see the duo "hello younglings" said the crow with a feminine voice, both hunters run up to her and give her a tight embrace as hard as they could "Eileen, we thought you were dead." said the duo on the verge of tears

"I will be you two keep squeezing me this tight." Eileen barely said

They both let go, giving her a chance to breath "*huff**huff* I see you guys changed your looks the last time I saw you." Said Eileen and she was right when they met Eileen they both wore the traditional hunters garb but sense then, they changed their looks

The female wore her hunter trousers still simply because they were comfortable, she wore orange like robes that had some rope wrapping around the body that also carried some tools of some kind on her lower back along with a red sack that was their that probably carried come of her stuff, on her hands were orange wrappings that were stained with old dry blood, on her head was a brown face mask, black cap that could hide the wearers gaze pretty well, she also had a second mask, it was a mask that had a pale face with black eye sockets and a black mouth that hung loosely open with a orange like pointed hood.

As for the male hunter he wore some trousers that had a brownish color to it but with a blackish color to it also almost as if burned and charred a bit, he wore some black gloves that he found in the town of yahar'gul, his garb was something much older it was a trench coat that had a red inner color on the cape with belts going across his chest, instead of having a mask he wore a hood that he took off of a dead tomb prospector when inspecting a cave he happened to be near by.

"Yeah I guess that's true" said the young female hunter in a happy tone while looking at what she wore.

"Good hunters I've made some tea would any of you like some?" Said the doll, the four hunters look at the doll for a bit then nod "we would love some doll." Said gehrman,

while the four were sipping on some tea the young male hunter then had a look like he had just remembered something "gehrman I have a question" said the young male, gehrman eyes towards the males direction while sipping some more tea then gestures him to continue "while on our previous journey me and rose met someone who looked exactly like the doll and she identified herself as Maria, who was she?" Said the male hunter, "oh yea I almost forgot about her, she was a tough fight, who was she gehrman?" Said the young female now identified as rose, gehrman stops sipping the beverage and looks down at his lap and sighs out of sadness and longing "as you said she was Maria and she was my first student when I started this workshop." Said gehrman not looking at anyone "she was also someone I deeply cared about, as for the doll I created her as a means to lift me from my sadness and loneliness, but it only made me miss her more, back then Maria just suddenly vanished, you said you fought her? Where is she now!?" Asked gehrman franticly

"I'm sorry gehrman but we didn't actually fight her what we fought was just a memory of her, I'm truly sorry." Said the male hunter with a sadden voice. "No *sniff* it's my fault for getting my hopes up for clinging to memories that needed to be let go… And Jason." Said gehrman and the male hunter identified as Jason looked down at gehrman "thank you *sniff*." Said the first hunter, after a moment, the four hunters decide to leave the flower garden while rose, Jason, and the doll took the lead gehrman was being wheeled out with the help of Eileen.

The four hunters and the doll enter the workshop "so what happened on your previous journey?" Asked the doll to the young hunters, the two hunters looked at each other wondering where to begin "well on our last hunt we encountered five interesting characters and four out of five tried to kill us" began Jason with a small chuckle "they were Ludwig, Laurence, brador, Maria, and Simon" rose finished with a sad tone at the last name and gehrman recognized each name "ah yes I remember those names all were respected at what they did during that time for example Ludwig was the the first member of the healing church hunters while both Simon and brador were some of the first members as for Laurence he was working with byrgenwerth alongside willem and well I already told you about Maria" said gehrman

"Yea and they all were pretty tough excluding Simon of course instead he guided us through that nightmare and we also found these wonder full weapons!" Said rose showing off what she found, gehrman remembered every weapon that was displayed before him

They're was the amygdalan arm, beasthunter saif, beast cutter, bloodletter, boom hammer, church pick, holy moonlight sword, rakuyo, whirligig saw, Simon's bowblade, and one he never seen was the kos parasite. Gehrman looked at the weapons and had a moment of nostalgia, it has been a long time sense gehrman joined the hunt.

"Well these are quite interesting." Said Eileen trying out some of the weapons herself

"But I think I will stick to my blades." Said Eileen again setting down the rakuyo that she inspected earlier.

Rose had put her weapons away one by one through her messengers and after she put most of the weapons away while still holding onto Simon's bowblade and everyone noticed something wrong with rose "you okay?" Asked Jason worried for his partner "yea I'm fine… I'm just wish I could have done something to save him." Said rose weakly

'he shouldn't have to go through all that alone, he didn't deserve any of the thing he's been through' she thought, her thoughts along with everyone else's came to a halt when the ground underneath them shook startling all for none ever thought the dream could have quakes, everyone ran outside to see what is happening and to their surprise it seem that the dream was having a massive electrical storm, everyone ran to the garden to get a better look of things, seeing what was going on a pillar of lightning struck behind everyone, slowly turning around everyone sees a lone figure, this figure had very pale skin and almost looked like the orphan of koz but less hungry looking and didn't have that red sack on its right hand that was attached to its tendon, but interestingly enough it spoke with a deep demonic voice "good hunters you have served this dream well as well as your contracts to it, you have slain both nightmares that hold your world and what you refer as a plague will soon die out"

The hunters were hesitant to believe this sense a great one just came out of nowhere and told them they killed of something that spread faster than they could actually kill so the hunters were definitely hesitate to believe in it.

"Oh yea prove it" gehrman spat out to the great one with scythe in have while the other three polled out their respective weapons, Eileen with her blades of mercy, rose with simon's bowblade, Jason with is saw spear, all in their second form and armed and read for a fight while the doll simply hid behind the four.

The great one points its hand toward the hunters and a mirror like object appeared out of thin air, a image appeared on the mirror that showed yharnam in the daytime and every and all beast were on the floor swinging at nothing as if in pain then would stop a moment later, another small moment later then all combusted as if they were coated in oil then had a Molotov cocktail to set them ablaze, the hunters all watched in disbelief never thinking that it would end in their life Time.

"Now you see what I mean?" The great one says.

Everyone looks to the great one not knowing what to do.

"What do we do know?" Asked Jason

Then the great one looked towards him "you have no purpose here but can have one elsewhere somewhere, where darkness threatens the world do you accept this fate?"

The hunters then all look at each other having a silent conversation 'what do you guys think'

'I don't know even after what we saw it's still hard to believe'

'I'm still wondering why we didn't end up like those beast'

'Yea why weren't we affected to we have the same type of blood as them'

As if the great one read their minds it answered their thoughts

"You don't have to believe me, you can sit here and rot for the end of your days for all I could care or you can accept my offer at a second chance, as for why you were not affected and suffer the same fate as them" it gestures to the mirror like object " it is because you were protected by this dream as you call it" it simply looked around

"So will we accept my offer?" It questioned looking back at them, the hunters and the doll looked at each other then nod in agreement" we accept your offer and where will we be sent to? Gehrman said speaking for everyone else.

"You will be sent to another world, a world called remnant and this world is under attack by creatures of darkness called Grimm, while these Grimm aren't as savage and deadly as the beasts you originally fought but make up for it in numbers" said the great one

"Will we still be connected to the hunter's dream? Gehrman said in concern for the doll, it nodded and a sigh of relief was heard "then if that's the case might as well pay this remnant a visit then" said Eileen and everyone nods in agreement even the great one

"Before you go come here elder hunters there is something I will give." The great one gestured, the hunters were hesitant as first but complied, the great one then had its hands hover over gehrman and Eileen, needless to say both were nervous as to what the great one might do.

A bright glow than engulfed the elder hunter's blinding the young hunter's with the lights intensity. After the light died down the young hunter's were able to see again and to their surprise they saw gehrman and he was much younger than before, instead of his stressed gray it was now a mixture of light and darkish brown and his outfit was also new looking as if he just got them, as for Eileen it was hard to tell because of her crow's outfit, but Eileen then took off her mask revealing her face for a bit, now fully understanding that even beautiful things can be a dangerous for when they saw Eileen's face they saw ashen gray hair that went down to her shoulders and her eyes with a mixture of orange and red color to them could captivate just about anyone she truly was a poisonous rose.

The two elder hunters not understanding what their students were looking at looked at each other only to have the same surprise looks on their faces gehrman looked to be in his early thirties while Eileen looked to be in her late twenties.

Both elder hunters recovering from their shock then look to the great one and stood next to their students ready to enter the next world, the great one then lifted its right arm upward then a pillar of lightning consumed the four hunters in an instant, the great one then turned toward to the doll "may they find their worth in this waking world." Said the great one then bowed to the doll which she returned with a slight glow which the great one didn't notice, the great one the turned away then disappeared in a pillar of lightning leaving the doll alone in the dream.
