Well helleeo! The wonderful MysteriousBiscuit has returned for a spiffing new tale of action, adventure, and ro- okay, I'll stop with the accent (Bonus points for any who did it in a stereotypical British accent).

Anyway, sup? I bumped this forward a few days/weeks because I had it typed up and saved already while I was working on COPR, so... here it is!

Also, this is going to be my first story in the 1st person, and multiple POVs.

Enjoy!

Prologue: Arrival

-My POV-

For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all, infinite in distance and unbound by death. I release your soul, and by my shoulder protect thee.

I heard the words. They were quiet… distant... as if I was listening to someone who was shouting from the other side of a valley. The words sounded familiar, though I couldn't remember where from. It was as if the shadows enveloping me was repressing my memories, shutting them away as I was sent through the tunnel of darkness that I had been thrown into. Then, all of a sudden, light filled my vision as I was launched into the red grass below me. A headache, stronger than I had ever experienced, pierced through my head as my memories returned to me. I looked up, holding my forehead with my right hand. Red leaves sheltered me from the sunlight above… No… Moonlight. I scratched my head as I tried to figure out why I could see so clearly, then it hit me as my hand touched something furry and a wave of pleasure soared through me. I was a Faunus. I retracted my hand then looked at the moon again to confirm my theory. Shattered. "Oh. My. God" I muttered, excitement and happiness bubbling up in my chest, "I'm in Remnant!" I yelled. Turning around I looked around the clearing, it was surprisingly familiar even if I'd never been there before. There was a boulder in the centre, with the trees of Forever Fall surrounding it.

Wait…

This is the area from the beginning on Blake's trailer…

"Oh shit" I muttered as a figure entered the clearing.


-Blake's POV-

I walked through the trees, thinking about the results of the previous rallies. And Adam. He seemed a bit… off… recently, as if he'd had his mind on something else, something bigger than what we were already doing.

It didn't take long to reach my favourite spot, the clearing that I usually go to to think. However this time there was something off about the place. Another cat Faunus, from the looks of it my age, 8, was there. To say I was surprised would be an understatement, as far as I knew I was the only one who knew about this place, with its lonely boulder.

The boy looked over to me as I walked into the clearing, his dark green eyes staring into my amber ones. There was a brief silence as we looked at eachother before I tilted my head to one side out of curiosity. He cautiously took a step forward, watching me as he did so, watching incase I made any strange movements. If I didn't notice the scared look in his eyes I may have found it a tiny bit cute. He was eventually standing directly infront of me. He was a tiny bit taller than me, roughly 3 cm taller if I made a guess, including his long, ginger hair. "Um… hi" He said, cautiously, as if he didn't trust me. I made a small laugh, making the boy's left ear twitch from the unexpected reaction. I stuck out my right hand to him,

"Blake" I said, introducing myself. He looked at my hand for a bit before grasping it in his own,

"Archie" he said, his paranoia quickly fading away as he introduced himself. Archie then hugged me. My eyes widened at the unexpected move.

"Why are you hugging me..?" I asked, confused at the motion. He just smiled a bit as he let go,

"Eh. I like hugs, they're nice" he replied, "Don't you like them?" He pouted. I shook my head, a small smile creeping up my face,

"No, I do" I answered, his pout returned to a smile as he hugged me again. I feel like I'm a cushion. "Um… how'd you find this place?" I asked him, curious since I'd found him in the clearing. He stood there for a few seconds as if he were trying to remember something,

"I just stumbled upon it… I was walking through the forest, then I saw this place and it looked nice so I sat down for a bit, this grass is comfy" he answered, his usual smile staying on his face,

He started to run around the clearing. His smile was infectious though, and I soon found myself joining in with him as he clambered onto the rock. "I claim this island… for Vale!" he stated, his voice portraying that of a king, though his smile showed he wasn't being completely serious about it. However, as he made a move to step down, his left foot slipped and he fell down onto me, "Ahh!" I shouted as he landed, his green eyes wide with shock. I saw him struggle to get up and walked over to him. "Are you okay?" I asked, as he rolled over. His right arm was missing. My eyes widened in shock and I gasped. Archie then started laughing as he put his right arm back through its sleeve and grinned at me. I glared at him. "Don't do that" I hissed, offering him a hand up. I soon started smiling as he grinned mischievously at me. "I've got to go" I said, the smile fading from my face. He frowned.


-My POV-

"Can I go with you..?" I asked, activating the puppy eye technique. She looked at me, a curious look in her eyes. This was not the Blake I expected to meet. I expected an anti-social, analytical Blake. Not a naive, optimistic Blake who wasn't scarred by the actions of the White Fang. Of course, I didn't let any of that show.

"Why..?" She asked me, more out of curiosity than fear. I just looked down,

"I don't exactly have a home..." I muttered, a hint of sadness lining my voice. Then Blake did something I didn't expect, especially from her. She hugged me. I just stood there once she released me, my eyes wide.

"Follow me!" She said, breaking me out of my state. I shook my head to clear it and ran after her. I guess I'll have to find out how I came to be in Remnant as an 8 year old Faunus some other day.


Wassup! Hope you enjoyed the Prologue! There's going to be a timeskip between this chapter and the next so don't be surprised when it occurs.

Also, I know Blake's OOC in this chapter. However there is a good reason for this, I imagine Blake would only start to become the Blake we all know and love after the change of leadership, so at the moment she's still innocent.

I really enjoyed writing this chapter and will hopefully update soon.

But anyway, thanks for reading! Review, and stay legendary!
