'In the years of humanity formation to the top of the world not a lot of documents were made, at least not those that could be read, but of the some that could showed remarkable creatures, doing impossible feats, men with wings, who knows if these stories are true but if they are then our savior will awaken soon, because the darkness has come back.' - Unknown
Lighting strikes in the background at signal academy's dorms a girl with a red hood sat on a windowsill reading a book that her mother would read, it was a fairy tail. She knew it was, I mean there was no faunas with wings there never could be, the mental stress of having the extra limbs would be horrible, you wouldn't get anything done, tails are something different like a penis they don't act with a man's mind it just extends same with a tail modern science proved it.
Normally she wouldn't be stuck inside she would normally go out with her friends to do fun things in vale or go to classes but the rain was pouring for two days and three nights she would glance up to see if anything changed in the weather, but it haven't 'another day to go' the girl thought as she went back to reading until there was a knock on the door.
" ruby the girls and I are going to get something to eat in vale want to come?" Someone asked from the other side of the door. The girl in the red hood looked at the door " Yang it pouring out you know how much I hate the rain I catch cold!" She said and right at that she sneezed " ARE YOU SITTING ON THE WINDOWSILL?" The girl yang asked " sis I'm fine it was just some dust." The girl said " RUBY I TOLD YOU STAY OUT OF MY DUST COLLECTION!" Yang yelled " NOT THAT SORT OF DUST JEEZ!" Ruby yelled " fine you can stay and polish your scythe, and I will get a cookie for you IF YOU STAY GOOD!" Yang said " Thanks sis your the best!" Ruby cheered " I'm also your only sister. Well half-sister but YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!" Yang said as she started to sputter.
" no I don't know, if you can please bring me back something not raisin I hate those." Ruby called " I thought you would eat any cookie?" Yang asked " I will but raisin ugg!" Ruby shivered they were the one cookie she could never eat. " alright what ever see you later sis." Yang called " you to yang xio long of fine hair!" Ruby taunted in a strong British accent " RUBY!" Yang called as ruby chuckled at the joke. She hear yelling " YANG LETS GO!" Only for yang to reply " ALRIGHT ICE QUEEN IM COMING!" Ruby went back to reading, or tired to but couldn't.
'Well if I can't read might as well turn in I have classes at beacon tomorrow, for the last day who knew we actually had classes after the vital festival,' ruby thought as she put her book down ' damn stupid cinder you had to attack then, of all times thankfully no damage was done, all of yangs charges were dorpped and you've got back into hiding, all because you were a little careless. Serves you right bitch.' Ruby thought as she pulled up her covered and took a small nap until the food got there.
Gryphon griffin was a man let me say just that he was a man, one of great stature but a man mother the less, he was powerful and mighty he wore a white shirt with golden brown sleeves, and a pair of what looked like to be jeans of the same color, he had brown hair and matching eyes he had black shoes with white socks, but the one thing most notable on him was the cape on him, it was messy and not really good looking, almost like he hung a towel over his shoulder's and cut a massive V at the bottom, people usually over looked that, but wat it really was, was a beautiful pair of wings Shining like no tomorrow.
He had a history, one of very great saturation. He lead the campaign of the great Grimm war after his father died, otherwise know as the lost war, as no human that took part in it is alive and if they are there sworn to secrecy, he was the founder and first leader of the white fang under peaceful terms, after " the Great War" which he strongly detested and there for did not take part in. And after a small uprising in which his brother tried to take his throne and plunge the world into chaos by releasing the last granzul in which he married, the creator of the Grimm, to be her army and retake what was her, Matrum, it is unknown how she came to be, but it is believed by some she is the reincarnation of the remains of the last granzul before she left this plane of existence, to her prison, Salem was her name.
after the uprising gryphon had no choice but to seal away his brother, flayinks and his " wife" into separate parts of the world, never to be awoken again, and so he then ruled over final stand rock the last battle of the uprising which was now named magersaey by the human populace, on the top was what you expected by human standees as where you expected " filth" to live. In slums, but scratch below the surface and you will see under the piles of garbage are massive monuments that man could never hope to imagine less build, one of the only ones the poke above the ground of " mess" is the capital of menagerie gryphons home base.
now this is not to say that gryphon was just a fanuas, no no no he is separate from the herd in that respect, because that amount of fanuas that live on the island of menagerie, which is only a small hand full, only one in every ten of those are part of the elite group which resides on that island, that group is what he is leader of, those fanuas were very distinct from the bunch and were mostly the ones that lived under ground, why because of news got out of what they were all hell would break lose, the perfect opportunity for the Grimm. Because These fanuas had wings, that's right bird, eagle, pidgin, you name it its live's down there, but most importantly there were the leaders of this society, the kings of the air, lead by the longest living fanuas species the griffin faunas (( not to be confused with griffon the Grimm)that will be explained later), the kings of the air, or wing lords, were not members of normal species you see, no these were one's of proud stature, and lived not only the longest but the most brutal lives, to even be an wing lord meant great responsibility, and to have someone of the lower stature be considered having a wing lord position was unheard of, not because of prejudice but because it was so hard, ( but not impossible).
(one six months later) summer )
Gryphon was in vale now on a quiet, and not in menagerie where he should be to rule his kingdom because of what he heard would be the great child, the hero the one with silver eyes, he got news Ozpin had a girl who fit the description so he was heading that way now to beacon tower. To meet his old friend.
As he looked around the streets of vale he looked at his wrist watch 28:40. five minutes before I need to be at beacon I can spend some time heck maybe I can get some dust from that shop there." He said as he headed to the shop, when all of a sudden he heard something go off around him " I heard cinder fall is going to try to attack beacon again." Someone said " no way are you crazy, she fled the content after her first failed attempt everyone's looking for her, who knows what would've happened of she actually did it and her planned worked." Another said " true but the idea of smoke coming from the emerald forest next to beacon is scary when I think about it." The guy said " when ever you think it's scary" the second man chuckled before walking away with his friend
gryphon kept his head down as he walked away. " that was definitely something I NEED to get a look before I jump to conclusions this is-" gryphon was cut out when he heard a click from behind. looked to see a man holding a rifle, he was a fanuas hunter, pointing the gun at him. " ahh shit." Gryphon said before he took off dodging bullets from the hunter,
gryphon rushed in the forest, and pinned himself to a tree. ' I think I lost him, but of course where am I?' He asked he jumped in the tree, to see he was in the emerald forest " Oh well I can stay here and wait, and besides it gives me time to look at this smoke coming from here," Gryphon said as slached at the tree leaving a distinct claw mark of five fingers going diagonally across the nodded he started marked his territory now off to find "cinder" he walked out towards where he saw the fire when he jumped into the tree. Witch what looked like Northwest.
Gryphon made his way northwest he looked at the seneary and made passing comments " nice bush, cool looking tree and cool ursa." Gryphon looked before realizing it was a real ursa and it wasn't scarred stiff of him as griffins and other wing lords were the only major fear of the Grimm, either this Grimm wasn't sane, or it was old enough to think it stood a chance. Gryphon faced the ursa. " so you actually think you could beat me?" Gryphon asked as he slowly extended his claws, not only to add the fear factor. But if they just shot out the ursa would charge and gryphon would be unable to defend himself. Now he was armed now and the fight was only one cut. Before he kept moving on
he made it to cinders camp only to see no signs of cinder it was just empty an open fire gryphon didn't care he was glad cinder wasn't close to Beacon, now with that piece of info in hand he headed back to the camp he made At the camp after he had supper which was some rations he got before he left, he climbed the tree he slipped and instinctively he used his claws to climb the rest of the way, using his " cape" he wrapped himself up and slept.
( magersary wing lords Council chamber,)
The counseling room of menagerie was a massive stone room where the elected wing lords converge a meeting only 2/3rd's of the room was filled, as the only ones present at this time were dragon's and Phoenix fanuas. They sat on either shade of the room in sections based on where they were overlooking, the dragons looked like normal men but they all had black spiky hair, some wore black informal jackets, some wore white sharp suits, some went topless and some went in Asian inspired garb they wore there respected kingdom's culturel garb so everyone knew what they were in charge of. Asian for Anima ( mistral), the white sharp suits for solitas (atlas), informal suits for Sanus eastern half,( vale) and topless for the western half ( vacuole), and shiny suits for there own.( also may be referred to as royalty) (The color doesn't matter)
" WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE NEVER MADE IT TO THE MEETING!?" A Phoenix wing lord pounded on the desk in front of him he was wearing a shiny grey suit for the colors of menagerie with a black cape with red under tones to it. Phoenix's were the other wing lord to process wings in human form the other being griffins, " I MEAN OUR INFORMANT NEVER SAW, NOR MADE CONTACT WITH GRYPHON AT BEACON." a dragon wearing an informal suit said " FUCK SAKE!" The Phoenix said "SO FOR ALL WE KNOW HES DEAD." A dragon said in atlas clothes " please gryphon's our leader we have to believe he can handle himself he is a Griffin fanuas after all, we all know how they like to keep to themselves." A topless Phoenix fanuas said
" right but as of now we need them the Grimm are growing more and more predominant, and if gryphon isn't here to lead them they won't fight, and we can't win another Grimm war without them, not in our current state." A topless dragon said " there are two people they can listen to but that's because those never leave gryphons side." An atlas pheonix said " argosh and phlox, well apparently he got tired of them as there as shocked about his disappearance as we are," a dragon said in mistral garb " may I speak about something that was brought up before by Corvus?" A shiny green royal dragon said " you said that "we can't win another Grimm war without the griffins," but what war are you talking about, the Grimm have gone into banditry after we ended the last uprising no leader, no command structure, nothing. That's why we're wild beasts now, they have nothing." He said " you forget jahiras ( jā ha riś) not all of the grimmen were captured or even killed they-" a second topless pheonix said " they are the perfect soldier created to obey. not think! They don't and can't command-" jahiras said but was cut off by a third dragon one in anima garb. " but a pawn can become a queen if giving enough time," "right" a informal pheonix nodded agreeing " that is impossible-" jahiras countered " decort ( de-cot) is right jahiras, we can't be to careful." A menageran dragon said " even if-if for the impossibility there was a queen, we would see it we have eyes in every major human settlement even in the darkest pits of mistral!" Jahiras said
"on yea well then what about the white fang?" A royal pheonix in shiny golden suit said " I'm sorry?" Jahiras asked " the group of fanuas gryphon organized after the Great War, for fanuas equality." The Phoenix said " you mean the ones turned terrorizist after gryphon left?" A shiny royal dragon asked " the same Zeitgeist." The pheonix said nodding " is I see it there no threat they only want equality what's the big deal?" Jahiras asked " how about the fact one of them main field commander's wear's a Grimm mask?" A mistral dragon said " so?" Jahiras asked " it's an active Grimm inside who knows when it will awaken, it may be awake now. Your right Thieal, that is a threat." A voice said from the door. All the people turned to see argosh and phlox propped up on either side of the door. " ahh argosh what a pleasant suprise." Jahiras said " drop the act Jah, any news of him, where was he last placed?" Argosh asked
" as far as we can place it's vale, but my informants are very short handed the vital festival attack kinda has them scrambling for control." A informal dragon said " no word from peach?" Phlox asked " nothing." Argosh sighed " contact Ozpin tell him of gryphons disappearance he'll send a team to locate him we can't spare the man power right now." He said " I don't trust Ozpin." Jahiras said " gryphon trust's him." Argosh said back to him " gryphons a fool." Jahiras muttered before argosh got up in his face " are you saying gryphon is unfit to lead?" He asked jahiras looked around the room to see faces of dissatisfaction at him he didn't like gryphon but everyone else did, he would be hard pressed to find support here and now he said and sat back down " no." Argosh smiled " good then send the massage, he need to hear it we need support from as many people as we can to fight the war." Argosh said before he left the others looked at jahiras who made no moves. Feeling the eyes on him he growled before getting up and leaving everyone sighed as the tension died down
" about the fang. Can we trust them?" The first pheonix spoke up again. " I don't know Adalf, but most of them have pledged loyalty to gryphon most of them have left the white fang and have been giving spots and huntsmen and huntress's, and those that haven't left after the takeover have either, high positions in there ranks and if lost would strip them of a powerful ally, or have gone into "hiding"" Corvus said, " right, but now the fact is the main leader is right on this continent and we're doing nothing about it." The first dragon said " do you honestly thing gryphon would approve going to war with his own people danvot?" because of we kill Sienna khan that's exactly what's going to happen." Zeitgeist said " he can ID us all." Danvot pushed " and so can any other of our human allies who just so much want a little extra Lein." Zither a dragon said one of gryphon council advisors. " what I want to know is of jahiras." He said getting the room to quite down. " what about him?" A Phoenix from vacuole asked " I think we should take him out."He said.
The whole room was in uproar " WOAH!" "What why!?" EVEN FOR YOU ZITHER THATS EXTREME!" They yelled " now now." He said calming everyone down. " first I know it's a bit extreme but I have to say if we don't do something, now this is going to cave in on us. We need to do something. Now." He said
( Griffin council chamber palace)
" what a bunch of idiots." A royal Griffin in a red shiny suit said before sitting down. " Xanihen idiocy and being cautious are two different things." Another royal Griffin in a blue shiny suit countered. " besides they have a right to be, I wouldn't be caught dead trying to be lead by any morons of the lower classes pheonix or dragon." A third royal Griffin in green said " what about Argosh and Phlox?" An informal Griffin in black asked " that's a bit of an expiation Diavel, gryphon trusts them with his life, after all he was carried through the war with them." Xanihen said " he was also carried through with headmaster Ozpin but I don't see you getting in line for him." An topless Griffin said " please as of any human could lead me, if I sighed up for Ozpin he would probably put me on guard duty Henna." Xanihen said looking to the informal one. " what's peach doing now?" He asked " he is teaching about the nature of the world and telling future huntsmen about the medical applications." The informal Griffin said " yea a concept he knows nothing about, androse." Xanihen said
the blue royal Griffin looked and spoke up " now about jahiras." He said Xanihen sat back before looking at the one in blue. " there has always been criticism about gryphon and how he does things Qecan ( qie-Zan)" Xanihen said " Jahiras seems...more vocal than everyone else." He said " are you saying actions should be taken?" Xanihen asked " I'm just thinking we should be...concerned." Qecan said Xanihen not missing the meaning sighed and stood up. " I'm going to contact Ozpin on a personal channel, just so orders don't get...mixed among the crowd." Xanihen said before he left.
( Dragon & Pheonix council chamber)
Jahiras entered again " the message is sent, now what have we decided to do about the fang?" He asked " the council has chosen to send a spy to look into the fang." Zither said " alright who?" Jahiras asked " well an unanimous decision came saying "a Phoenix would be to out of place and normal dragons are two for a more...secret deployment to us. but we happen to have someone who is very well versed in covert op's. Who wouldn't stand out to much." Corvus said he looked back to reveal a fanuas that had a black informal jacket he was a dragon fanuas but unlike everyone else he had two horns on top almost like a bull. " okay so vactum is an agent for us. Alright that's acceptable, he almost looks like a bull but how are we going to get him to look acceptable for the fang they won't just allow people off the street like " hey can I join the white fang!" Jahiras said "Not here to many guards but give him a rough up and shove him past one of the walls he may be beleaveable especially if a group passes him." Zeitgeist said " alright then let's start." Jahiras said as three dragons and two pheonix's left the room
( beacon academy headmasters office.)
Ozpin looked at the holoscreen as three shadows were there. " Ozpin we are terrible sorry about that, we had no idea about cinder fall or her plans," one council member of vale said " you were more in planned then we thought and we owe you a dept of gratitude." Another said "if you didn't kill her in beacons vault, so many things might have gone wrong I don't know what we would do." A third council member said " it's alright, but this battle isn't over our borders are in the clear but not everyone else's." Ozpin said before looking away ' I'm not going to say cinder escaped in the last minute.' The vale council spoke again " even so because we foolishly decided you weren't doing a good enough job protecting the people we gave ironwood the go ahead to bring his military in only to be hacked and slaughter hundreds of people." He apologized Ozpin held his hand up to stop him " I get it, I get it it's not your fault just...be sure to be more mindful about who you run things," he said before felt his scroll ring in his pocket. " got to go please converse with the other council's and try to help them to." He said as he ended the called and pulled out the scroll.
one new message it read. Ozpin tapped the scroll and typed in his key code before reading the message ' dear Ozpin, apparently gryphon has gone missing as he had not shown up to the meeting with you to look into miss rose, if you could send a team to locate him thank you -Xanihen griffin council- Ozpin' face grew serious. " Glynda please send team RWBY to my office I don't care where they are, make it priority one." He said he didn't hear the answer he was already looking out the window trying to locate his friend. ' where are you?' He thought he zoomed in on the emerald forest to see smoke rising 'There.' He thought
