The PaleBlood Hunter receives a summons in The Hunter's Dream. The World of Remnant changes forever.

Author's Note: Been rewritten need to re-read for the changes. It's basically the same but the details have been tweaked.

The Paleblood Hunter rested in the Hunter's Dream as the Doll tended to his sleeping form. The Hunt was over, Yharnam was purged of life the scant few who were not beasts having run off after The Night of The Hunt. Mergo and The Moon Presence were slain and he was a Great One. A young Great One and nowhere near used to his powers but he was a Great One.

The Hunter's eyes snapped open revealing blood red irises before the slitted pupils went wide looking like a normal human eye before it went wider and the entire eye was consumed in inky blackness before stars burst into existence upon the black expanse making The Hunter's eyes look like the cosmos. His mind was consumed in a vision of a woman in a ruby red cloak kneeling before an altar. The Altar had a blood filled ritual chalice upon it. "Great One of the Hunt, oh great god of the hunt, I call and I beg, come forth and grant me your blessing so that I may end this Hunt." The woman clasped her hands together as if in prayer. Her wrists slitten ritualy bleeding in offering before she rung a summoning bell covered in runes. The runes around her in a ritual circle that was etched deep into the wooden floor then filled with blood glowed an unearthly red.

The Hunter touched her mind. Her hunt was at an end but there was no victory to be had here, none she wanted anyway. Not even the embrace of the dream would aid her in her true desire. The Paleblood Hunter was sympathetic in spirit so he touched her, drew upon her mind to locate the start. The true beginning of her hunt, of her journey. Yes, yes that would do he observed as a thought passed through his mind. The power the ritual had was diverted and a miracle took form.

Ruby Rose woke with a start in her room at her home in Patch. She looked at her clock and calendar, it was three A.M. the day she met Roman and got admitted into Beacon, wait no it wasn't who's Roman and she never got admitted to Beacon, though she'd love to go. Yang's going this year and… She shook her head and snapped out of it last thing she remembered she was... Yeah it was going to bed last night, wait no she was doing a ritual to call upon a god before she… Wait no that isn't right either. Her head hurt. "Must have had some crazy dream" she said to herself before she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

The Paleblood Hunter touched the summoner's world to see her opposition. No, not even memories of the future of the past could help her against her true foes against the true threats. The ritual had more power than she had intended though, a ritual intended to ask blessings and there was enough for a all he had done and more. There was enough for, yes yes that would do for what could possibly stand against a true hunter, a hunter of Yharnam. Another miracle took form. He poured himself into the vessel made of the power called forth by the once future Ruby Rose. As he descended most of his power was cut off as the Great Ones were only truly great within the reaches of the cosmos.

The Paleblood Hunter woke in an alleyway in Vale. The omnipotence of the universe left the vessel mostly leaving the debatably human mind of the Hunter. The Hunter opened his eyes only to see a ripple emanate from his body and travel through a small amount of the air before disappearing. Through the receded cosmos he could feel it ripple throughout the world crating him a history and placing him in the school his summoner was going to, Beacon.

He drew on a small amount of the cosmos to witness the changes. Sanguine Jaeger was his name and he was from the wildlands having no known identity apart from his Beacon application and entrance tests. Sanguine took measure of himself. He was as strong as he was during the Hunt, before he was a Great One. He was wearing the garb typical of the Old Hunters except he had a traditional Hunter's Hat on rather than the Old Hunter's typical wide brimmed cap or top hat.

Sanguine was equipped weapon wise with Rakuyo and the Hunter Pistol. To get at his other weapons he'd have to retreat to the dream, a bad idea to do so now he didn't have an anchor to draw the vessel back if he went to the dream now. He just had to wait for the school year of Beacon to start.

That night he watched as Ruby Rose almost caught Roman Torchwick only for an intervening huntress to throw off Ruby's killshot as the criminal escaped in a bullhead. The Hunter took a swig of a Pungent Blood Cocktail, normally a valuable tool against beasts of the plague but here where the Grimm were the beasts it was next to useless except as a drink.

The Hunter sat on the airship as it made its way to Beacon. He idly listened to the conversations around him as his mind drifted. Behind closed eyelids Sanguine's eyes turned to black expanses filled with stars as he touched the cosmos familiarising himself with the world. All too soon for the resting hunter the airship arrived. As it landed Sanguine sedately got up and walked out.

Sanguine noted his contractor talking to her sister before the sister ran off with friends. He waited for his summoner to explode the white haired girl, Weiss the cosmos whispered in his outer mind. As Ruby slumped down to the ground in defeat Sanguine cut in to raise her spirits. "Hello there, I'm Sanguine" he offered his hand offered to the slumped Ruby. "Ruby" The red and black garbed contractor offered with a smile. They walked off chatting about the small things.

The topic soon came to weapons. "So what do you have for a weapon? I have Crescent Rose here." Ruby said as she unsheathed and transformed her sniper scythe. "Impressive, a gun scythe. I'd imagine its a rifle of some sort?" Sanguine offered back "Good eye yeah its a sniper rifle." Ruby shot back her voice impressed. "I have the Rakuyo and my pistol." the hunter said pulling said weapons from behind his back impossibly. "Rakuyo? Ooh a sabre and a dagger on the end, no mech shift or integrated gun but elegant in its simplicity and that pistol! Ooh it looks like a flintlock but it's actually a breakaway cartridge system that could fire just about anything couldn't it? Not just Dust rounds but even metal rounds!" Ruby enthused. " Indeed. The Rakuyo is just that and I prefer special quicksilver rounds rather than Dust rounds but pretty much if it has a firing charge my pistol can fire it."

"Nice, wait where are we going?" Ruby said confused. "No clue, we're supposed to be going that way" Sanguine offered as he pointed off in another direction. "Ahhh we're gonna miss the ceremony!" Ruby yelled as she dragged Sanguine off in the direction he pointed.

When they arrived at the assembly hall Yang called out to Ruby and with a quick apology to Sanguine Ruby ran off to her sister. The Hunter paid little attention to the speech the headmaster gave he was here for his contractor not to learn how to hunt. He soon walked off to the ballroom with the rest of the students to spend the night there before initiation. Night came and so did sleep, the hunter over in a corner hat covering his eyes as he leaned against a wall.

The morning came and so did initiation. The class stood on the cliff on launching platforms. The headmaster gave a small speech before addressing the Hunter by name. "Mister Jaeger you are the odd student out this year so you shall be paired with the first pair you come across or the first two people you make eye contact with." The Launch pads started launching, the blonde male, Jaune, started talking to the headmaster but before Sanguine could pay more attention his pad launched.

Sanguine was falling in a way that he pretty much never had during the Hunt. He waited until the very last second when with a huge burst of air he let out a Beast Roar having long learned to do it without the beast claw fetish the power was originally evoked by. The sheer force of the roar stopped his momentum feet from the ground. The roar had the unintended side effect of drawing all near Grimm though. As evidenced by the now rustling and growling bushes all around the treeline of the clearing the hunter landed in.

A beowolf was first out of the bushes and into the slaughter. With a running pounce it leaped at Sanguine before a deft slash cut it in half. Black blood sprayed everywhere covering Sanguine in blood. His heart beat in his ears as his ovaloid pupils slimmed until they were but slits in Sanguine's blood colored eyes.

As Sanguine reveled in the fresh blood more beowolves emerged. A slash cut off one beast's arm before the follow up stab with the dagger end of the Rakuyo ventilated the beowolf's brain. As its corpse fell Sanguine beheaded it for good measure. The resulting spray of blood went everywhere, with a bit splattering on the cloth mask covering the lower half of Sanguine's face. A slight tongue peeked out behind the mask to lick the blood. "Disgusting… Yet all the better for it."

In his distraction a beowolf knocked the Rakuyo to his feet. With a thrust the grimm was impaled on the Hunter's arm before with a squelch the arm was ripped out. He knelt to one knee to pick up the Rakuyo but never left his now ready stance. Two beowolves tried their luck next. A slash wounded one before the Hunter span into the second's guard and ripped its throat open with the dagger end of the Rakuyo. The hunter walked away as a parting slash disemboweled the grimm choking on its own blood.

The first of the two was recovered and came back at the Hunter mindlessly. Two simple slashes relieved it of its arms before with a flourish the Hunter was behind the charging beast and the dagger end of Rakuyo severed its spine through the back of the neck with a single stab. It would bleed to death.

The final beowolf almost seemed to consider running before it charged with a roar. The Hunter pulled down his mask before grabbing the beowolf and biting into its neck with his vicious teeth. He drained its blood. A roaring howl of victory erupted from the Hunter as he released the dead beast before he could stop it. A quick look around confirmed no one was near and that all the beowolves were properly mutilated before he left.

Sanguine soon came upon Ruby and Weiss walking through the forest. "Looks like I'm with you two." Sanguine offered "Sanguine! At least I know I have a friend on my team." Ruby said joyously.

A minute later and the three had somehow managed to get onto a nevermore. When questioned on her tactics by Weiss Ruby suggested that they should jump off before she did so herself. Following the relatively reasonable logic Sanguine jumped off too much to the fury of Weiss. Sanguine distantly saw Ruby get hit by Jaune and land in a tree. Seeing no safe landing for himself he focused and let loose another Beast Roar.

"Can we have 2 seconds before something else crazy happens!?" Yang yelled her eyes red and her hair flaring with fire. "How could you leave me?" Weiss said her voice somehow carrying from the nevermore above. "I said jump" Ruby replied "She's gonna fall" Blake deadpanned "She'll be fine" Ruby replied awkwardly "She's falling" Ren deadpanned. Yang sarcastically said "Great the teams all here now, now we can die together" Pyrrha landed in a pile near to Sanguine as this was said.

"Not if I can help it" Ruby said before running off. She was batted away from the deathstalker that had followed Pyrrha "Don't worry totally fine" Ruby called out her panic showing. Her next attack was batted away before she decided to run when above the nevermore cried and shot feathers down upon Ruby. An unlucky feather caught Ruby's cape before the deathstalkers tail descended. An ice shield popped up and Ruby and Weiss had a short heart to heart before they ran off back to the group.

"I'm so happy you're ok" Yang said hugging Ruby. Jaune expressed concern as he asked what the group was going to do next, Ruby confidently responded that they should just grab an artifact and run. "Run and live, I can deal with that plan" Jaune said a bit more confidently. Ruby grabbed the golden Knight and Jaune the golden Rook before Ren said "Time to go" and the group bolted. Yang smiled as Ruby lead the way confidently.

The group ran into more ruins. They ducked behind pillars as the nevermore cut them off in front and the deathstalker closed them in from the back. As they went out of cover the nevermore rained feathers down upon them when Nora at Ren's urging cave them all covering fire with her grenade launcher. The nevermore flew away as the deathstalker closed in almost getting Nora as the others moved to intercept.

They ran until they were driven onto a bridge where the deathstalker could not follow when the nevermore came back. As Jaune and the others fought the deathstalker Ruby, Sanguine, Yang, and Weiss made their way to the roof of a ruined building held above the abyss below on bridges. "Its tougher than it looks" Cried Blake as she landed in formation with Ruby, Sanguine, Yang, and Weiss.

"Then let's hit it with everything we got" Yang replied as the five changed to ranged weapons. A hail of fire erupted from the five enraging the nevermore and making it destroy the building they were on. The five then quickly started dash jumping from rubble piece to rubble piece till they reached a safe place to land. "None of this is working" Weiss complained. Ruby was struck by memories. Noticing her team landing and re-engaging the nevermore she said one thing.

"I have a plan"

Yang and Sanguine stood on a pillar firing rapidly at the nevermore to attract it. When it came by they jumped up and into its mouth. "I Hope You're Hungry!" Yang yelled as she and Sanguine fired round after round down its throat. Looking back they jumped down as the bird went on to hit the cliff face. As it launched from its recovering landing Weiss froze it in place. Ruby landed on Blake's ribbon as it was stretched between Blake and Yang she went back and was caught in one of Weiss's glyphs "Can you make the shot?" "Hmph can I make it" "Can.." "Of course I can" Ruby was launched at the nevermore when she hit the cliff she dragged the nevermore with her as she ran up the cliff with the assistance of Weiss's glyphs and beheaded it.

"Jaune Arc Lie Ren Pyrrha Nikos Nora Valkyrie the four of you obtained the white rook pieces the four of you shall be team JNPR (Juniper) led by Jaune Arc. and finally Ruby Rose, Blake Belladonna, Yang Xiao Long, Weiss Schnee, and Sanguine Jaeger the five of you got the White Knight pieces making you team RWBYS (Rubies) lead by Ruby Rose" "I'm So proud of you" Yang cried out as she hugged Ruby.

Sanguine awoke from his restful meditation. He could not sleep and dream lest he accidentally suck the vessel he was in into the dream as well. He noted Ruby about to blow her whistle at a waking Weiss. He got out of bed and quickly dressed in the bathroom in his school uniform. The four girls stared at Sangine's face, this was the first time they had seen it. He was reasonably handsome. He smiled, it looked fake. His teeth showed revealing that he had dentistry looking like the unholy love child of a wolf and a vampire.

The girls recoiled in surprise. "Are? Are you a faunus?" Blake asked. With a chuckle Sanguine answered in the negative before stating that he merely had unusual teeth and eyes. With the matter resolved for now Ruby moved forward.

"Good morning team Ruby. Now that we're all awake we need to get onto the first order of the day…" "Decorating" Ruby said and Yang finished "We haven't unpacked yet, we need to do that" Blake's suitcase fell open "And clean" Blake added.

The five quickly got to work, Yang put up a few posters, Ruby put up a curtain then sliced it in half. It was quickly stitched back together while Blake put up a bookcase and filled it with books. Weiss put up some posters and Sanguine put up a Hunter's Dream Lamp and a few incense lanterns. But the beds were all piled in the middle. "This isn't going to work" Weiss said seeing the bed situation. "Maybe we should ditch some of our stuff?" Yang suggested. "Or we could ditch the beds and replace them with bunk beds!" Ruby replied.

With a small disagreement that resolved itself in Ruby's favor they got to work making bunk beds. "Objective complete" Ruby said victoriously looking at the dangerously unstable bunk beds and Sanguine's bed off in the corner. "Second order of business is... Classes. At nine we have…" "What did you say nine its eight fifty five you dunce!" Weiss cried. Jaune and his team ran out shorty after Team RWBYS came running down the hall to class.

"Monsters, Demons, Prowlers of the night, Yes the creatures of grimm have many names but I just call them prey! HAHA" Ruby fell asleep as Professor Port talked "And you shall too upon graduating from this prestigious academy…" Sanguine tuned him out. "The moral of the story is a true huntsman must be honorable dependable strategic well educated and wise wjo among you believe you have those traits?" "I do" Sanguine said coming out of his trance just a second later Weiss said "I do sir!".

"Ok you both shall go You first mister Jaeger, hmm not going to change into your combat outfit or get your weapon? A man after my own heart!" Professor Port then unleashed a boarboartusk from a cage. The beast paused for a moment the ran directly at Sanguine who grabbed it by the tusk and pulled it up. When the beast was lifted off the ground with a squelch he plunged his hand into the boarboartusk's chest before ripping it and the beast's heart out. With a thud the heart fell to the floor.

Sanguine went back up to his seat uncaring that he and his uniform were covered in grimm blood as was the room and the front row of students. Most of whom looked displeased or disgusted at being covered in blood "Very good! A bit messy but very good indeed!" Professor Port said enthused. It was now Weiss's turn to fight a boarboartusk. In Sanguine's eyes she did very well but the unneeded scolding of the contractor did displease him. He followed Ruby and Weiss out of class.

Sanguine came upon Ruby just as Weiss walked away. "You know she's wrong" Sanguine said "You can and will be a great leader you just haven't shown that side of yourself to her." He gave a smile but like most expressions he makes without his mask on it looks wrong. Not the sort of wrong that one notices though, it was the sort of wrong that one day you just see and can't unsee. From behind Ruby Ozpin speaks up and confirms Sanguine's assurances of Ozpin not making a mistake like Weiss had said.

During the exchange between Ruby and Ozpin Sanguine let his mind wander. He distantly wants blood and wonders what Ruby's blood tastes like. He must have a taste at some point. Sanguine starts salivating as he mentally debates blood and its flavors. How he yearned for this hunt to begin in earnest but before that he must play house with his contractor and team.

Oh the contractor he wanted her not physically not sexually but he wanted her. He wondered idly do all Great Ones desire their summoners so, or is it the blood and aura making the vessel that drew him so to the source of the materials that made it. Either way being near her did benefit him the energy she naturally exudes flows into the vessel reinforcing it in a way his own aura could not.

His own aura he thought now on a tangent it was frustrating. He had this new energy this new addition to his hunt that he could not use because the vessel he was in could not contain him properly. Thus most of his aura was occupied in reinforcing his vessel. Yet aura itself was a fascinating subject the mere fact that by the rules of this mortal plane each soul has a natural force it can exude, just utterly fascinating.

Ozpin walked away startling Sanguine out of his thoughts. "Why don't we head back to our room" Sanguine said "We can get started on our studies" "Err yeah let's do that" Ruby said "So why weren't you talking with me and the headmaster?" she questioned. "It wasn't my conversation to intrude in" Sanguine lied smoothly, he could care less about schoolyard politics he wanted to hunt and for the memories he had sent back to awaken and reveal his summoner in her full glory. A glory worthy of being owned by the god of the hunt.

Later on Weiss woke Ruby. "How do you take your coffee?" Weiss asked "Cream and five sugars" Ruby responded somehow not caught as off guard as she thought she would be. Not knowing why a nostalgic smile appeared on Ruby's face. "Here" "Thanks Weiss" "Ruby I think you have what it takes to be a good leader just know that I am going to be the best teammate you ever have" With that flashes of memory came to Ruby's mind flashes of fighting alongside Weiss, of talking and laughing, of life. So caught was Ruby in these flashes of memory she barely heard Weiss wish her luck studying and confess that she wanted bunk beds as a kid.

That night Ruby slept uneasy, and Sanguine did not sleep at all instead he was caught in thoughts of his ascension to a Great One In his mind he relieved that final confrontation well confrontations. His defiance of Gehrman due to his desire to stay in the dream and hunt unendingly, his defeat of Gehrman and his taking of the Burial Blade and the Old Hunter Badge. He wore that badge even now, was it in respect to a mentor or merely the mark of his mastery over the dream he couldn't decide.

After Gehrman came it The Moon Presence, he didn't know what caused it to attack him perhaps because he had gone too far during the hunt in his search for knowledge and strength or perhaps it liked Gehrman. Either way he killed it only for the rush of blood and power to turn him into a Great One. It's funny he thought all those men of the church tried and failed to become Great Ones but one hunter acting in greed for the dream and the hunt unending became a god by accident.

Sanguine idly fiddled with the Old Hunter Badge as he recalled Gehrman's lessons on hunting. Places to attack, how to harvest blood for blood-vials, how to make and treat quicksilver bullets, and to scavenge anything that had use for the hunt. He felt something click deep within himself, more accurately within his aura, he had no clue what it meant but it meant something.

Time moved on and before he knew it the team had impressed him. They would be good hunters if trained in the true way of the hunt, Yharnam's way of the hunt, not the way of the hunt that this world seem to train its hunters for. He always knew his contractor could be a hunter of worth but the other 3 had surprised him, he'd have to see if they could be made true hunters. It was with that that he started his campaign to make the four girls Yharnam class hunters.

They took well to his small lessons. A bit of weapon advice here or there, a bit of tactics, an odd lesson here or there on random things. They were indeed worthy of being hunters. Sanguine's eyes went black before stars burst into existence on the black expanse and the connection was made if not realised by the girls. His eyes faded back to red, thankfully it was night at the time so no one noticed his eyes change.

With a sigh he let himself dream. Waking in his chair in the Hunter's Dream he felt more than saw the changes made by him being it's master rather than Gehrman and The Moon Presence. The main change was his chair where once there was a statue of a woman in the workshop there was a chair. Several smaller changes had been made but they weren't important. He got up and walked out the front door passing the headstones that once linked to locations in Yharnam he got to where he first woke up in The Dream and the headstone that now sat there, Gehrman's headstone. "Good Hunter what troubles you?" The Doll had come to greet him.

"Hello Doll, what makes you believe I am troubled?" The Hunter asked. "You have come to Gehrman's headstone, you only do so when you are thinking on things." The Doll replied. "I have found hunters four of them" "Then the Hunt shall begin again Good Hunter" "Yes this time with me as the First Hunter" "It is taking Gehrman's title that troubles you so" "Yes, can I be the same guide to these hunters that Gehrman was to me?" "Only you know Good Hunter and only you can decide." "Thank you Doll, you may go." The Doll walked off but the Hunter remained for a moment before walking away from the grave with a small smile beneath his mask and an amused huff.

Such human concerns he had after only a small time in the waking world. How could he be anything but the best, he was the pinnacle of hunters the best in Yharnam let along here in some world with no real concept of The Hunt. Walking his way back up to the workshop he whistled a tune that he had heard in a small music box given to him by a young girl. With a small smile he sat down in his chair and woke up.

Sanguine woke and the bells on top of the Hunter's Dream Lamp rung lightly. "Ahh! God! It rung! Why did it ring?" Yang said startled from where she and the other three girls were watching the Lamp. "That thing is creepy Sang. Why'd you put it in our room?" She further questioned seeing Sanguine awake.

The Hunter's Dream Lamp over next to Sanguine's desk somehow looked sad. "Ohh Yang... You hurt its feelings it's sad now" Ruby cried dismayed "What feelings it's a lamp and I don't see why we've been staring at it for the past couple of minutes" Weiss said. "Because it's there, I mean it used to be there but now it's THERE" Yang cried out "What?" Weiss said indignantly "Yang means that it's been there but none of us have really noticed it but today it's just there and we notice it, like it's kind of prominent." Blake said coming to Yang's rescue.

Sanguine chuckled lightly "It's a marker for a safe location from my home. They're meant to mark locations where hunters can rest and resupply, I figured our room is where we rest and resupply so it needed a lamp." "That's kinda cool actually, but why is it a marker of safety?" Yang asked "Because the lamps when lit generally also burn an incense that repels beasts both Grimm and animal." Sanguine replied.

"What that's amazing! Do you have some with you? Do you know what we could do with such things?!" Weiss cried out "No I'm afraid I don't" Sanguine lied. He had some, of course he did all hunters carried some. It was a necessity for creating a safe place to catch your breath during The Hunt.

The beast repelling incense was a Yharnam production it was a happy accident that the incense worked to repel Grimm as well as the beasts of the Old Blood. He could get more in The Hunter's Dream from the Bath Messengers but that would require the last vestiges of a being's blood and life or as the Doll called them Blood Echoes and it would require an explanation as to where he got it. Special incense that repels beasts supposedly produced in the wildlands that's gonna require bullshit on a large scale, something he didn't particularly want to do, or not getting more until the girls knew about The Dream.

The girls would eventually know about The Dream especially since he linked them to it last night. Now he just had to wait and eventually they would stumble in and he could drop the charade of being a skilled student rather than a seasoned hunter around them. He hated the charade, secrets must be kept yes but it's tiring to deceive others. Why if his summoner didn't intrigue him so he would have been gone off to the threat he was summoned for long ago.

Time passed that morning and soon came combat class. "Next up is Russel Thrush and Sanguine Jaeger" called out. The two boys got up in the arena. Russel drew his daggers with a huff and went into a ready stance. Impossibly Saguine drew the Rakuyo from within his Old Hunter's coat to mutters from the class.

With a blast from a whistle the fight was on. Sanguine scored the first hit dashing forward with a diagonal slash from right to left catching Russel in the chest. Russel barely deflected the follow up hit that saw the dagger on the bottom of the blade soaring towards his face. A few more traded hits and Sanguine jumped backwards and with a snap transformed the Trick Weapon.

The dagger on the bottom of the Rakuyo's blade snapped off and rested in Sanguine's left hand. With a new ready position Sanguine displayed his weapon's sabre and dagger dual wield. With a roar Russel charged in only for Sanguine to jump and with a spinning slice deflect Russel's oncoming attack and catch him across the face with the dagger. Russel staggered back only to be hit by the slash at the end of the jumping spin. He was knocked backwards and slid along the floor. The arena deactivated Russel having lost consciousness and thus lost the match. Russel was carried off while Sanguine went back to his team.

"Jaune Arc and Cardin Winchester are next to fight." called out. The fight was short and ended with Jaune losing due to aura loss. " Mr. Arc it's been weeks now, please try to refer to your scroll during combat. Gauging your aura will help you decide when it's appropriate to attack or when it's time to try a more defensive strategy." chided

"Jaune are you ok?" "Huh?" "It's just that you seem a little… not ok" "Guys Im fine seriously" Pyrrha Jaune and Ruby conversed. Sanguine tuned them out preferring to look at Team CRDL harassing a rabbit faunus. Sanguine didn't really care that she was being harassed preferring instead to wonder why the rabbit faunus was playing the victim when from the smell of her blood she could wipe the floor with the whole of Team CRDL.

The conversation the other were having soon ended and they went to Doctor Oobleck's class. The class went by quickly, the small dispute between Jaune, Pyrrha, and Cardin passed and the class ended. In the week after Jaune became scarce around his friends and Sanguine. Only for Ruby to catch up to Jaune on the night before a field trip and give him a pep-talk which mostly consisted of the word nope.

As the week passed the girls of RWBYS started appearing in The Dream it was only pure luck that they hadn't run into each other while dreaming. Soon yes soon they would come together and he could drop this ridiculous facade and train his four new hunters in earnest. But they had to discover the reality of The Dream first. Only then would their minds open to Insight so they could operate in The Dream.

It was the day of the field trip to Forever Fall and they split into groups. RWBYS and JNPR minus Jaune weren't too far from one another when all of CRDL besides Cardin ran through screaming about an Ursa. Ruby quickly took charge and sent Blake and Yang to get as she, Weiss and Pyrrha went off to go help Jaune, leaving Sanguine to watch over the sap they collected with Ren and Nora.

The trip after that was uneventful and they soon returned to the school. That night a discussion happened in Team RWBYS's room. "Ya know it's odd I keep having this dream of this graveyard with a little building on a hill." Yang said "That sounds familiar." Weiss said "Yeah I told you guys about a similar dream I had the other day." Ruby revealed. "That's odd you're both having similar dreams and now that I think about it I've had a similar dream." Blake mused. With a chuckle Sanguine said "I have dreams like that all the time maybe tonight we'll meet in the dream together." They soon went to sleep with a smile Sanguine felt them appear in The Hunter's Dream one by one until he too with a closing of his eyes entered The Dream.

"Hey Ruby! Wake up!" "Wha? Yang! Wait this is that graveyard dream, but why are you here?" "Why am I here? Why are you in my dream?" "This isn't your dream I'm the one dreaming" Yang had found Ruby laying in the field of flowers below the great tree. "Both of you stop arguing" "And while you're at it figure out why we're in a dream together" Weiss and Blake had arrived.

"Well let's look around, this is where I've woken up before it's just this field with flowers and all these graves" Yang said. The four girls walked up from the field into the main area of The Dream. "Ooh what are these flowers they look like white sunflowers but they face towards the moon" Weiss said as they came across a group of Lumenflowers growing behind Gehrman's headstone. "Hey there are two headstones here in front of these flowers. Gehrman First Hunter of The Workshop and Lady Maria of The Astral Clocktower. Wow these two must be important." Yang said as she inspected Gehrman and Maria's headstones.

"Well there's the building I told you guys about and… Hey the doors are open, they were closed before!" Yang said and the girls immediately made a beeline for the open doors of the workshop. They came to a stop upon seeing what or rather who was inside.

"Welcome to The Hunter's Dream"

Author's Note: Yeah I rewrote it, I was happy with it when I first wrote each chapter, but as I started on chapter 4 I reread everything and it was just going way too fast. I was putting way too much effort into getting chapters out fast that I forgot to quality check. I'm picky about the stories I read and even pickier about the ones I write. Chapter 4 now Chapter 2 is coming soon as in I'll prolly have it done today and posted tomorrow.
