1. Introduction: A legend

So, a remake is finally in order. I'm going to be changing a lot of things, so that it won't feel so rushed. But anyways, its been a while hasn't it. I hope that you will enjoy the remake as much as I have in creating it. I'll try to get as much done as I possibly can this week.

Also I'm changing the mythos around, so that it will fit with Ruby's Faunus. So don't be alarmed about that.

You might think Griswold is an original character and in a way he is, but he is an actual character in this that I'm sure you guys can guess at. Griswold and the Traitor Wraith also are related in some way.

-Line Break-

The world known as Remnant was believed to have been created by two gods in the past. These two gods, were the god of life and the god of destruction. The god of life created an ancient race known as Wraiths. These Wraiths were identified by their silver eyes. The god of life bestowed upon the Wraiths technology that far surpassed even the technology of modern day Remnant. The god of life gave this knowledge freely, but there was only one rule; they could never impart the secrets of the power of Dust. Should a single Wraith do so then they would be cursed.

With this technology the Wraiths created an artificial race of beings known as the Ancients. The Ancients were a cruel and clever race with a thirst for power. They were easily identified by their red eyes. The Ancients followed their creators in hopes that they would gain the secrets of Dust.

However the Wraiths ignored the Ancients, instead turning towards the young race known as Humans. This race was a creation of both the two gods. The Wraiths watched the Humans, finding them to intriguing. The Wraiths would share the secrets of their technology, and when it was time for the Wraiths to pass away, they would share the final and greatest of secrets. The secrete of Dust.

The Ancients became ealous of this and so they turned against their creators. Knowing that the Wraiths were more advanced then they were, they turned to the god of destruction in hopes that the god of destruction would help them. The god answered, placing a piece of itself within a young Wraith. The young Wraith sabotaged her people, allowing the Ancients an overwhelming advantage. The Ancients with this advantaged waged a long and bloody war. When it was all over, the Wraiths had been driving nearly to extinction. With this victory, the Ancients turned their attention to the Humans. Believing that they were superior to the Humans, they began another war against Humanity.

Yet, even though the Ancients technology was advance from scavenging from the Wraiths; they couldn't combat the adaptability of Humanity. The Ancients turned once more to the traitor Wraith, The traitor Wraith once again helped the Ancients, but this time by showing them how to create life.

What the Ancients created was dark and twisted. An amalgamation of dark energy and negative emotion. The Ancients called their newly created biological weapon, Grimm. With the Grimm now on their side, Humanity was slowly pushed to extinction. This began what was known as the Dark Age.

Kingdoms fell as the Grimm ravaged the land. Cities burned and the dead were left to rot. Humanity lost much land to the Grimm. And yet still they fought back, never losing hope.

It was close to the end of the Dark Age that one of the few remaining Wraiths appeared. This Wraith known as Griswold. This man disobeyed the rule of the god of life, and taught Humanity how to use the power of Dust.

Now that Humanity had the power of Dust, they were able to fight against the Grimm. Yet even with Dust, the Grimm had grown far too numerous in numbers. Newer more dangerous forms were being created and Humanity began to lose hope. That is until Griswold taught them a dangerous technique. Using four women, he infused the power of Dust within them. These four women became known as the Maidens.

Griswold then taught the secrete for making a weaker variant of the Maidens. He taught Humanity how to infuse Dust within the bloodline of a select few Humans. These new Humans were faster, stronger, more resilient, and had powers beyond a normal Human. These Humans became known as Hunters. With the final secrets of Dust taught to Humanity, Griswold was cursed by the god of life. He then vanished, heading deep into the territory of the Ancients to deal with the Traitor Wraith.

With the power of Dust and the Hunters, Humanity was able to truly combat the Grimm for the first time in centuries. This began what became known as the Grimm Wars. Fighting against the Grimm, Humanity hadn't heard from the Ancients since they had created the Grimm. It was several decades after the start of the war that perpetual night fell across Remnant and the Grimm turned against their creators, leading the Ancients to extinction.

The Grimm then began rampaging across the land growing stronger. The kingdoms of Humanity fell one by one until only four were left standing . These four kingdoms were Vale and Vacuo on the central continent of Sanus, Mistral on the eastern continent of Anima, and Atlas on the northern continent of Solitas. These four kingdoms were a bastion against the darkness of the Grimm.

Even then the four kingdoms were desperate. Meeting in Vale, they began to research ways into creating a bio-synthetic race. They researched all type of things, from the way the Ancients created the Grimm, Robotics, to gene splicing. Nothing worked. It was finally when they learned that Dust could be used to create life that they finally succeeded in creating an artificial race.

This new race became known as the Faunus. The Faunus always had a single animal trait that made them unique. They were also made to be able to use Dust naturally with ease. With the Faunus backing the Hunters, Humanity was able to hold the line agianst the Grimm. The four kingdoms were able to hold out until the Night of the Grimm, as the perpetual night became known as, ended.

With the Night of the Grimm ended, the Grimm retreated back to the Forbidden continent of the Ancients. Though some would still exist within the continents of the four kingdoms. The Hunters were hailed as heroes, while the Maidens were almost celebrated as Goddesses. Meanwhile Humanity, arrogant in the fact that Faunus were created by them, began to mistreat them. They forgot that without the Faunus, the Grimm Wars would have ended in victory for the Grimm.

Now thousands of years later, the four kingdoms still stand. The Faunus have been reduced to undesirables. It was generally accepted that Faunus were lower then Humans, almost animals but not quiet. The normality was to treat them as free manual labor, pets, or soldiers. There was no laws against the abuse of Faunus, and the darker corners of society used them as test subjects, prostitutes, or for those with more 'acquired' tastes, food.

Our story begans in the kingdom of Vale. The hero of this tale is a young silver eyed girl by the name of Ruby Rose. A Huntress that recently got accepted into the school for Hunters known as Beacon Academy. There she would receive her Faunus as all Huntresses and Hunters did. This was fate as it gave rise to four legendary warriors that would change the very roots of Remnant. These four warriors would become known as RWBY.
