The Boy and The Wolf

A little boy at the age of 12 was staring at a sword and shield hung up on the wall. The "Crocea Mors". Since he was 5, he asked his father to teach him how to use it. He wanted to be a knight, a hunter, a hero, one that will do good for the world, just like his ancestors did.

But his dad did not agree to train him. The man who trained his seven sisters tell the weakest one was at least a -B hunter. The man who told him about his many adventures as a bedtime story. The man who he looks up to the most, out of his family.

No if his father will not train him, then he will train himself.

Looking around to see if his family was near, he took the sword and collapsible shield off the wall. He then got his traveler's bag he had by the door and ran out.

The boy took to the word fully intended on being a hunter, not knowing that fate had a big plan for the boy.

He made his way to the edge of the woods near his home town. He planned to stay out for a least a month to train by himself. But just as he got near….

"YHAAAAA"

Running to the scream, the boy saw a Beowolf attacking a little girl. Not thinking of his safety, he unsheathed the sword, but had trouble holding it due to its size and weight. Rushing at it, he planned to stab it in a single thrust, hoping to impel it. But, he missed landing in front of it and got between the grim and the girl. Looking up, he saw the girl had brown eyes and hair, and a long pair of brown bunny ears.

"A Faunus?" all he got from her was an 'ep'. "Get out of here, I got this." He told her now looking at the grim. Raising his sword over his head, he almost fell backwards but did managed to slash the Beowolf. It hit but only its arm, leaving a cut on it.

Enraged, the grim hit the boy with the back of its claw sending him into a tree. As he looked up dazed, he saw the grim made him his new target. The boy lifted his hand to put the sword between them only to find it gone. Looking around he sees it half way from where the Beowulf threw him. Closing his eyes, he waited for when the monster will sink his fangs into him.

{GRRRAH} [SINK] [THUD]

Hearing the weird noise, the boy opened his eyes to see a man in a tattered cloak with a sword in his hand that was shaped like a fang. In front of him was the Beowulf cut in two and now fading from existence.

"You ok? Little boy?" the man asked, now looking at him. The man looked to be at least 20, with black hair and gray eyes. Under the cloak the boy can see he was wearing a black and dark blue skin tight shirt with navy blue cargo pants. On his head he could see what looked like dog ears with white fur. He also had a white dog tail. Looking at his left arm the boy saw inside the flesh and bone was a robotic arm, with what looked like a small shield attached to a claw.

"Does it make you nervous?" the boy realized he was staring at it, when the man asked. Shaking his head, the boy then saw the girl he tried to save on the ground not moving. "Don't worry, she just passed out from shock. You did a brave thing trying to defend her."

"Thank you Mr. Dog." [bonk] "ow!"

"It's Mr. Wolf" he said hitting the boy over the head.

"S-sorry Mr. Wolf." Said the boy.

{sop} {sop}

"Hey, hey don't cry! I did not hit you that hard. Did I?"

"No it's {sniff} not that. I just…. I just… I want to be strong. {sop} I want to be a knight just like my family. I want to stop the grim from hurting people. {sop} I want to defend people like my family." He sad with tears rolling down his face.

"I WANT TO BE A HUNTER!"

"Are you sure?"

The boy looked at the wolf Faunus.

"That road will lead you to fight monsters that are worse than the one that just smacked you around, like a newborn pup. You will have to lay your life on the line every day, and make other people's life go above yours at all times. You will have to fight and sometimes kill, not just grim, but people, human, and Faunus, no matter how well you may know them. Will you sacrifice your very life, body, and soul for the good of the people?" he said all of this with a stern face, a face that held not even the slightest humor.

A long silence was all there was in the forest. The boy was thinking if he could do all he said. Can he do all of that? Can he really put everyone else's life above his, even people he does not know?

"Strangers are just friends you don't know yet." He heard his mother's voice in his head.

"All you need is confidence!" his dad's voice rang.

Finally, he looked the wolf in the eyes. With all his will power he said, "Yes!"

The wolf smiled, seeing the look in his eyes. "Ok then, I will teach you. But know this, if you accept, there is no going back. You will have you live with me. I will become your master and you will become my apprentice. It will not be easy. Do you accept?" he asked, holding out his hand.

The boy grabbed his hand. No matter what hell he will go through, he will become a Hunter.

"My name is Lycian Krasnik. What's yours?"

"Jaune Arc."
