The land of Remnant had many secrets that many people did not know about. However as time went by, these secrets were uncovered one by one.

Dust.

Aura.

Semblances.

And so many more secrets have been discovered over the years. These secrets have allowed Remnant to grow and be protected from the forces of Grimm. However there was one secret that nobody knew about, a secret that had existed when Remnant had been created. This secret had been created before the first Grimm had been born in the world of Remnant. A secret that had even existed before the four maidens of the seasons and the old man. To be honest, the "secret" were actually several secrets, only seen by few and even then dismissed by the witnesses themselves. These secrets never revealed themselves, since balance had existed throughout the years and thus there was no reason for these secrets to be uncovered.

However as Cinder drained the Aura of the current fall maiden, she had unknowingly forced these "secrets" to reveal themselves as the balance was undone and possibly change the world of Remnant forever. Because within numerous areas of Remnant…

THEY woke up.

In an area in Forever Fall, several Ursas were milling around. Due to the lack of negativity and competition, there was few things they could do. So milling around seemed to be a good option. However there was a sudden interruption when SOMETHING HUGE burst through the trees and grabbed one of the Ursas. Before any of the Grimm could react, the mysterious being bit off the Ursas head and chewed briefly. Then it threw the entire body into its mouth chewing and swallowing. It then began to bellow loudly before running to the other Ursas, flailing its arms. Taking this as a challenge, all the Ursas charged to the giant. As they tried to inflict damage on the being raised its arms high and then slammed them into the ground. The several Ursa that were caught in its swing were crushed immediately and even the ones not in its attack were killed by the pure force of the shockwave. Satisfied, it sat down and start to scrape and eat the remains of the Grimm.

Hiding within the shadows were several Beowolves that witnessed the slaughter that happened in just two minutes. Taking the wise route, they started to run off away from the area and thus the Grimm learned of a new threat that day.

Eis Schnee was currently sitting in his office looking at all the paperwork he had to file for the Schnee Dust Company. He rubbed his tired eyes cursing the amount of stress that had sudden came with the sudden spike of White Fang activity. Just as he was about to reach for his coffee, he noticed something.

A single ripple in his coffee.

The ripple grew more frequent as Eis himself began to feel something shake and he realized that the shaking was growing more frequent and the sounds of giant footsteps could be heard. He quickly rushed to the giant window in his office and his jaw briefly dropped.

As best as he could see, there was SOMETHING in the dark stomping its way to an unknown location. Itsoutline looked like nothing Eis had ever seen in his life. All he could see were incredibly long claws and large antlers. As if sensing that it was being watched, it turned toward Eis. His throat closed up when he saw the giant's eye glare at him. Eis had face many Grimm in his life, but nothing could prepare him for the pure hatred and suffering expressed within its eye. Seeing nothing, the giant began to trudge away to the snowy landscape. As it began to disappear into the distance, he had one thought about what he saw.

'I have to tell everyone about this.'

In the sandy areas of Vacuo, everything was normal as it should have been. The sands blew with the winds. A few traveling huntsman shielded their eyes as they tried to reach their destination, a city located within the distance. However one of them held out an arm, looking at the bottom of the hill with shock. When the other huntsman caught up they too could only stare in shock.

What should have been a healthy patch of cacti and an oasis nearby, was just a flaming pile of burnt cacti and a dried up hole with burnt stick for trees. They were shocked at this scene, the weather of Vacou was unbearably hot, but this was ridiculous. One of them noticed something in the distance and furiously to gesture to the rest of his group, pointing to the distance. They managed to see SOMETHING flying away into the distance, with huge arms drooping.

As they watched the mysterious creature fly away, the hunters began to continue moving towards the city with a new urgency. The entire hunter association should be informed of the strange sight they just saw.

Mistral was calm and there were many parks that people can go to once work was off their shoulders. One of the most famous parks were Olympus Park, where it was owned by the Nikos family. Athena Nikos sat on a bench near a lake, basking in the sun. She decided that since she was going to relax today, she might as well enjoy her free time in the park. She closed her eyes and her mind raced with concern for her daughter at Beacon.

'I don't have be afraid, my precious little amazon can take care of herself.' However this did little to calm her motherly instincts and her mind was filled with concern for her only daughter. Her mind was so occupied that she almost didn't hear the sudden screams and shouts from people.

Almost.

Her eyes shot open and she whipped her head towards the commotion, seeing many people running away from the largest lake located near the woods. Unlike the others, she decided to investigate the disturbance of the normally peaceful park. Due to the large crowd of people running away, she couldn't see what was happening but then everyone was sent stumbling to the ground when a loud cry similar to a goose echoed throughout the park. Athena managed to stand up in time to witness SOMETHING hop away into the woods, along with smaller shapes hopping with it, away into the distance.

She could only watch in shock and her attention was brought to the people crying out. Some people who were near the mysterious being was crying in pain, blood seeping from their ears. Athena stood still even when the paramedics came up to her to check if she was alright. Only one thought was in her mind:

'What the hell was that?!'

Salem smirked as she observed the chessboard in front of her. Everything was in place and all that had to be done was for the pieces to be placed into the correct positions. However as she began to turn away she noticed something, her eyes went wide and she focused back to the chessboard. Suddenly one portion of the board began to freeze over and there was several eyes that grew on the surface. Another portion began to bubble as water seemed to form on the chessboard, toy geese appeared and started to drift. The third portion began to burst into flames and slowly faded over to reveal the board was all black. The final portion seemed to from autumn leaves as numerous food items began to grow.

Salem could only stare at the suddenly changed chessboard, her mind raced with every possibility of the sudden addition of the variables. Unfortunately, she could come up with nothing. She sudden had an uncomfortable feeling in her stomach as her creations began to panic at the sudden appearance of SOMETHING.

For the first time in a long time, Salem felt fear of what was out there.

Somewhere unknown, a mysterious being was sitting on its throne with its head on his fist. The being radiated pure light and was covered with red Grimm markings, with no other distinction other than it looked a human. However soon it opened its' pure white eyes and lifted his head. The familiar burst of energy had just resonated throughout Remnant, and it knew that THEY had woken up. Shaking its head, it lamented how the creatures of this world were incredibly foolish.

The balance had been undone, releasing many new creatures hidden from humanity and Grimm alike. Although it didn't know what was going to happen now, it knew one thing:

"The Reign of Giants has begun."

A/N: Goddamit another new story. I have a feeling I just write down an idea that comes into my mind and just write it, even when I'm working on two other stories (BTW check them out if you're curious). So feel free to leave any comments or criticism.
