RBWYE Prologue to Ethan.
Chapter 1. A story of the past.
A small town so quite so tranquil it was a cloudy day but still a nice one. Ethan Triplex had always wanted to go to the big city and train to become a Huntsman although he had always had a knack for attracting trouble and doing anything for a Buck. He had always been beat and teased by the other kids his age for being so weak and wanting to be a Huntsman. He was determined Ethan knew he was weak, but he thought if he could create a weapon the ultimate weapon then he could be good enough to get into Beacon. Ever since Ethan was 7 he had always had a knack for building and fixing things, he could pop open any machine and tell you what was wrong with it and how it worked. His parents were always loving and supportive to him, they worked as Dust miners even with both of them working the graveyard shift every couple of days they barely got enough money to get bye.
At the age of 12 Ethans parents were mining they broke through the wall that separated them from the Grim. They were ripped to ribbons in seconds. At the same time Ethan was running over to the mines to show his parents his first successful weapon prototype. It was a double barrel shotgun that transformed into a sword. The gun part fired a fourth of the users Aura, Ethan had built up a lot of strong Aura over the years of beatings. He arrived at the mine just in time to see people running out screaming Grim. Ethan had never seen a Grim like this before in all the books about them he had read. It stood about 7 feet tall with its arms that touched the ground when it stood; every single tooth in its mouth was a canine. Also its back was slouched, its entire body was covered in random small patches of hair, and Ethan would never forget the reflective bright yellow eyes in its head. Ethan was snapped out of his trance when it jumped on a running miner and started devouring him, three more joined in to help eat and when they were done all that was left of him was a few half eat pieces of his skeleton and strips of flesh left. Ethan was horrified by this sight so he ran to a small hole that led to the mine it was his secret entrance for when he wanted to see his parents. All the Grim had left the mine to chase the screaming so it was probably safe to enter. Ethan then slowly walked to the section of the mine were his parents were working, he knew he would not like what he saw but he had to see if they were OK.
