Hello there.

After reading this story, I've decided I was going to continue it.

Though I would most likely update this story every week to couple months, due to life problems, I still hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY, only the MC(s).


There are legends, speaking of six Grimm, their history, and relevance lost to time. The few articles of information portray them as six creatures, so massive and terrifying that by simply uttering their name would cause and spread chaos. Until recently, their existence had been written off as myth, and their reputation had been reduced to a children's tale, used to make children behave.

However, archaeologists have come across the remains of an ancient civilization to the north of Atlas, where an ancient stone tablet have been uncovered. It's content after being cleaned and translated goes as following.

On the thousandth year,

When humanity have survived extinction,

When the kingdoms have formed,

When Faunus have gained freedom,

When the beast turns feral,

When peace have reigned,

The Primordial's shall awaken,

When the Frozen rise from their hole,

When the Storm gathers from their mounds,

When the Statue severs their cage,

When the Burning awakens from their wall,

When the Spawn climbs from their pit,

When the Flight flies from their heights,

The World Will End In Pandemonium,

THE WORLD WILL RETURN TO THE VOID.


[Ten Thousand Years Ago]

I cannot seem to recall who I was before. All I could remember was awakening in some sort of void, surrounded by what seemed to be an endless amount of glowing white orbs. I wasn't sure how long I was there, but I do remember seeing several of the orbs turning red before shortly disappearing after. I also remember the same happening to me, my vision turning red before all turned black.

As if waking from a dream, I slowly opened what may have been my eyes, my vision slowly losing the blur as I gazed at a tiny figure before me. I must also mention that when I said I gazed at the figure, I also meant to add that I was gazing at the figure from what seemed to be five other angles. Focusing on the figure before me, I studied their appearance, slowly their image into my mind.

The figure before me, had pale white skin, bone-white hair tied into an odd style, having six appendages sticking out from what seemed to be a bun, all held together by what seemed to be black crystals and black thread. Black veins traveled throughout her body and face, predominantly around her black and crimson eyes, ending in some sort of black diamond imprint on her forehead. Covering her body was some sort of black and red robes.

Despite being the size of an ant, the power she radiated told me instinctively to respect and revere her.

"...Magnificent." The woman finally spoke, her voice calm, while also radiating dominance. As she gazed upon me, I instinctively knew my appearance.

My form took upon a skeletal figure missing its arm bones. Covering my body was an almost indestructible black ice, my arms being made from the same material. The shape my arms took resembled that of a drill-like sword, the other being some sort of hammer. The figure finished taking in my appearance, before moving onto what I believe to be my next form.

My second form took upon the form of a mask, a single eye socket with four horns curved upwards, two atop with the other two near the bottom. My body was being constantly covered by what seemed to be black lightning as said lightning began striking the ground around us, using its lightning as if they were arms and picking up the chunks of rocks. Pulling the stone chunks to my body, I felt something form, revealing itself to be some sort of bone-like material, keeping the stone blocks in place and ensuring that the chunks wouldn't break off.

Nodding to herself as if satisfied, she turned to my third body. Said body looked to be a statue, having ten arms, six legs and seemed to be made from some sort of black stone. My body lacked a neck, instead, having three heads resembling masks hovering over the body. From what I can tell, I can detach and reattach my body in whichever position I desire, but I couldn't separate my body too far from eachother, lest I end up reattaching myself forcefully.

My fourth body was a blackened skeleton, constantly covered in reddish fire, with what seemed to be black stone covering its pelvis and feet. The ground around my body was being burnt away, leaving only a charred layer as what seemed to be lava dripped from my burning fingers.

My fifth body was, in reality, two bodies kept together. The lower half of the body was a massive gastropod creature, with white bone plating covering its body entirely, almost invisible lines revealing the gaps between the armor. Near the top of the armor is a slightly more visible gap, allowing six antennae-like eye stalks to move about. Also hidden amongst the bone armor was a pair of bulges on both sides, which were, in reality, a pair of bone scythes. Also underneath the bone armor were four thick and wide legs for mobility.

The upper body, or my sixth and last body resembled that of a mixture of a western dragon, and an eastern dragon. While it had the body of a western dragon, it also had the whiskers, long neck, waist, and tail of an eastern dragon.

As one, I, or We as the proper term, gazed upon the woman who stared back towards us.

"It is only proper that I name such magnificent creations." The woman stated, holding a pale hand to her chin. As if on instinct, We moved to speak, my first body shuddering.

"Ymir," The first body spoke, the ice cracking and shuddering as the ice-encased skull clacked open. It then moved to a kneeling position, the ice cracking as it did.

"Thrym," The second body spoke, the lightning sparking outward hazardly. It moved to its body into a kneeling position, the stone crushing against eachother as it did.

"Hyrm," The third body spoke, it's body kneeling as well, finding no trouble as its body rearranged itself to do the motion. Its ten arms struck the ground, forming multiple large craters to form.

"Surt," The fourth body spoke, its burning body cracking as it did, as what seemed to be black stone dropped to the ground as it knelt.

"Fructus, Ceterum," The fifth body spoke as the sixth roared in unison. The two bowed as one, its six antennae-like eye stalks drooping downwards, while its dragon head bowed low.

"Fine names for my creations," The woman muttered, before glaring at us fiercely.

"I have a mission for you my giants," The woman spoke, her voice steadily gaining volume. We as one stayed silent as she began to rise into the air, black swirling energy surrounding her as she rose.

"You are my instruments of destruction. As such, I give thee this task. Destroy the parasites that make this land their own. Destroy the ones known as Humanity!" With that, she disappeared. We looked at eachother unsure how to do as she says as we knew not what this humanity was. Fortunately, though, our target soon made themselves known to us as a foreign energy passed through us, filling us with an unknown feeling.

We suddenly felt the need to destroy the ones creating this feeling. Turning to what we perceived to be our left, Ceterum let out a roar of hunger as it flapped its wings, lifting itself and Fructus into the air. Following their initiative, Ymir and Surt rose as one, releasing a earth shaking roar into the air, before stomping forward, leaving a frozen and burning trail as they did. Thrym and Hyrm didn't make a sound, as they rose, following their kin.

As they did, the trails they left gave form to smaller and more diverse creatures, all black in color, with crimson eyes, bone white armor and red markings.
