The Beast Within

by Victor Albadan

A faunus with a troubled past goes to a monster hunting school in Vale named Beacon Academy. He makes friends, meets enemies, and has all kinds of adventures at the school! RWBY and JNPR will be in the story along with several OC's. Rated T because of dark themes in the Prologue and mild cursing. Weiss will be here too, there was just a 4 character limit for that field.

1. Prologue- Part 1

The Beast Within

Prologue- Part 1

It's winter in the mountains. Snow blankets the tree-covered slopes, and the sun, just below the horizon, is still giving just enough light to turn the sky hues of light purple and cobalt blue. On one mountain, there was a small house, golden light spilling out the windows onto the snow. It was about a 2 hour walk from any town, but the family inside preferred it that way. Corsian and Zera Albadan were both well known high ranking members of the White Fang, a peaceful protest group that pushed for equal rights for faunus. Faunus were exactly like humans for the most part, but they may have a stray animal characteristic, such as cat ears, wolf fangs, monkey tails, or other features. They were highly subject to oppression and discrimination, despite an 'equal rights' treaty that had been drafted after a war between humans and faunus two centuries ago. This discrimination and their infamy as high ranking members of the equal rights group led to a large amount of trouble in Vale, their hometown, so they decided to live in the mountains away from all that so they could live in peace and raise their young son, Victor, in a safe environment. Victor was five years old, had his mother's blue eyes, his father's dirty blonde hair and his father's bear characteristics. He had brown fur on his forearms, bear fangs for canines, and a mass of black fur on his back. He was a happy child, and he loved his parents dearly. However, that night, events would occur that would shatter the happy life Victor and his family enjoyed, and would haunt him for many years to come.

Prologue Part 2 is already out, take a look! I divided them in two because it was so damn long. Hope you enjoy this, a review would be appreciated!

Have a merry Christmas, Happy holidays, and a Happy New Year!
