Long, boring nights hit RWBY on the weekend. With nothing to do, as JNPR and CFVY were on an assignment, and SSSN weren't in town. Yang tapped the keys on her laptop, while Blake and Ruby read, and Weiss studied. Suddenly, each of their scrolls dinged. Ruby was the first to drop her book and read the message.

"ALL STUDENTS AND TEACHERS MUST REPORT TO THE COURTYARD, THIS IS NOT A DRILL."

Ruby looked up from her scroll after closing it and looking at the time on the clock, 0:00 'Well that's weird.'. "Hey guys? The message on our scrolls said we have to go out to the courtyard, we should go there." Yang let out a frustrated groan and looked up from her laptop.

"I swear, if it's another one of those stupid drills where we have to stand out in the rain for another 45 minutes I'm going to flip." Blake and Weiss quickly and quietly packed their things inside their containers and walked over to the door, both Yang and Ruby following behind. Ruby ran over to Weiss and tugged on her dress gently.

"What do you think it's about? It said it wasn't a drill." Weiss looked at Ruby with an annoyed expression painted on her face.

"Probably something important since it said it wasn't a drill, dolt." Ruby slowed her walking pace a little and looked outside. A strange, red tint painted itself onto a black sky.

"Yang? What's with the night time sky and the red glow it's got?" Yang looked over to the windows, and was immediately frightened.

"I think I know this from somewhere.. it was a rhyme from one of the rhymes I found in a book, I used to read it to you as a kid.. '..and on the darkest of nights, the sky will turn crimson and the Blood Knight will walk again..'. It was a weird rhyme but you loved it for some reason."

As RWBY entered the courtyard along with every other Team, Ozpin stood at the front of the crowd, ready to explain what he knew. "Students, we are facing a terrible problem. Have any of you heard of the rhyme 'on the darkest of nights, the sky will turn crimson and the Blood Knight will walk again.."?" A few students raised their hands, and put them down after a few seconds. "Let me explain what this means. In the early days of Man, the worst threat we faced were Grimm, which, as you know, are monsters that lack souls. While there are numerous Grimm of all types, there was only one type of Grimm that was on it's own. It had no family, and no Grimm of the same kind. While all Grimm are animals shaped like Wolves or Scorpions, this Grimm was shaped as a Human, and wore armor made of bones that wrapped around it's entire body, with the only sort of skin lay behind the visor in it's helmet." Ozpin stopped for a moment, then went on.

"Extremely quickly, this special Grimm rose to the top, slaughtering many, many Grimm that dare stand in his path, until it controlled all the Grimm in Remnant. By this time, Man had already begun construction civilization, Castles, the Medieval age, so to speak. The first Kingdom was ruled by a fair and just King named 'King Lysander I'. He had a vast and powerful army, and when he needed to, was the first to raise his sword for his Kingdom. By the time he was at his peak of power, multiple Grimm attacked his Kingdom, but were easily deflected. Until, the special Grimm arrived. He wielded a blade made from an extremely rare metal known as 'Archilium'. The Grimm cut through the Kings' army like scissors through paper, never once stopping, until he reached the King. Blood of the Knights of the King soaked the floor and his Armor, painting the floor and carpets. The Grimm raised his weapon and cleaved the King apart, thus beginning the Reign of the Blood Knight. The Blood Knight was the incarnation of evil, murdering the Townspeople, murdering everyone that was against him, sticking their corpses on spears and using them as warning to anyone who dare defy him. Until, one day, a Hunter came and challenged the Knight, the battle was long and lasted for many days, but in the end, the Hunter slew the Blood Knight. The Hunter trapped the Blood Knights' soul inside an orb and tossed it inside a cave where the millions of Knights the Blood Knight slew Guarded it." Once again, Ozpin stopped talking, but then went on.

"Until, recently, a cult of Grimm worshipers found it and have put his soul into another vessel. We must not let this Grimm control everyone once again, so, each of you will be stationed around Vale, with your Team, a group of 3 Hunters, and 8 Military Personnel. Your scrolls have been sent the location you will be guarding. Gather your things, tomorrow you leave at 10:00 AM. Dismissed." Many of the Teams left to their dormitory rooms, including RWBY. Ruby packed the important things, Weiss packed her work, Blake packed her books, and Yang packed her laptop. They set their bags next to the door and fell into a deep slumber, with Zwei resting at the foot of Rubys' bed.

The next morning..

Alarms sounded in the dormitory, as each of the members of RWBY woke up for showers and ate breakfast. As soon as they finished, Ruby packed Zwei and the Team headed out in silence, each wondering what challenges face them in the future. 'Would the Blood Knight be immortal? Is he strong? Does he tire? Will he die?' Many questions flooded their heads, but all would be answered soon enough.
