The beginning;
Long ago before the discovery of Dust. Mankind fought the Grimm in a bloody war with no hope of surviving. The Grimm were tenacious, thorough, and unrelenting in there quest th destroy man and it's creations.
Just as it seemed there was no hope insight however the unexpected happened. A Beowulf-one of the most common of all Grimm-turned on it's own kind and fought for the sake of humankind.
The Beowulf that fought for mankind wore a long red scarf around it's neck and armor on it's body which covered it's chest, arms, and legs. Where it got the armor no one knew, but people say that the armor bore a silver eye in the middle of the chest region. The rebel Grimm went from one battlefield to the next cutting down all it's fellow Grimm and saving the lives of many humans.
After many Grimm died at the hands of this traitor the other Grimm temporarily turned there attention from humanity to eliminate it.
During that time humanity discovered Dust and began to craft greater weapons to defend themselves. By the time the Grimm resumed there war with humanity it was too late.
As for the rebellious Grimm it was never seen again. Some believe it was destroyed by the other Grimm. Others believe it went into hiding after it accomplished it's goal.
Time moved on and the legend of the rebellion began to fade. Though few people believe the legend there are those who's ancestors have passed it down to there descendents.
Some even hold on to hope that one day humans, faunus, and Grimm can live together in peace. Until then all we can do is fight on to keep mankind alive for the sake of the next generation so that-
"Sir, did you here me?" Glynda said trying to get the headmasters attention. Ozpin looked up from his book to look at Miss Goodwhitch. The two were in his office in the tower with the clockwork above and below ticking away.
He was sitting at his desk with the book in his left hand and coffee in his right. After a pause Ozpin put down his book and spoke:
"My apologies Glynda. I was catching up with an old book of mine." Glynda looked at the book. The cover showed the silhouette of what looked like a Beowulf staring down at a dark valley with hundreds of glowing red eyes. The beowulf seemed to have a scarf on that blew in the wind.
"The Grimm Rebellion?" She read the cover out loud. "I'm afraid I'm not familiar with it." Ozpin gave her a sad smile.
"I figured you wouldn't." He said. "It's an old legend about a Beowulf turning against it's kind and fight to protect humanity." Glynda gave a look that said she didn't believe.
"A Grimm fighting for mankind sir?" She said with a somewhat sarcastic tone. Ozpin chuckled at this earning a raised eyebrow from Miss Goodwhitch.
"Yes I'm sure it's hard to believe such a tale." Ozpin said. "But what really interests me is what the Grimm wears. A red scarf with body armor that bares a silver eye in the middle."
At that Glynda thought about a certain silver eyed girl with a redhood that enrolled in Beacon just last year.
"Now then Glynda." The headmaster said. "I Believe you came in here to tell me something?" At that the teacher remebered why she came up here.
"Right." she said. The new students are about to arrive. I came to get you so you can give your 'speech'."
"Right. Well then better get down there then." He said getting up. As he headed to the elevator to take him and Glynda down took one last look at the book on his desk.
"And Miss Goodwhitch." He said causing her to turn around. "Lets not forget. Legends have to start somewhere." He smiled. Glynda opened her mouth to speak, but couldn't find the words.
Instead she just silently nodded and enetered the elevator followed closely by Ozpin. The teacher pushed a button and the doors closed.
Meanwhile. Just outside of Beacon. Airships wore flying towards the Academy with fresh new students on bored. One student in particular was sitting quietly in an corner with his arms and legs crossed.
He wore a black western style hat with wolf ears sticking out of the top. He had a black duster coat which was opened to reveal his bare chest, dark pants, black fingerless leather gloves and black shoes.
He also had a wolf tail sticking out of the back of his pants. He also had a silver ring on each of his middle fingers.
His eyes were bright red and he hide a long canine tooth sitcking out of the right side of his mouth. His hair was black and tied into a small ponytail,
but his most interesting feature was the red scarf he wore around his neck. It looked old and tourn as if it was worn in many battles. The boy looked out the window to see Beacon Academy.
He knew it was risky to go there, but he didn't care. He had a mission he had to accomplish.
'I will find her.' He thought. 'No matter what. I will find her and protect her even if it coasts me my life'. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a necklace with a silver eye hanging from it.
So yeah. This is a one shot right now, but if enough people like it I might continue. I got this idea from a dream I had awhile back. Please let me know what you think so far,
And thank you for reading it.
