In a forest that is all red called forever falls, is known to be one of the least Grimm invested forests in the kingdom of Vale.
Hunters and huntresses alike comes here for hunting Grimms either if it's for a mission or to train themselves. Not to mention of all the good sap people collects from the trees.
It is here where there is a young girl with a big sword on her back. What people immediately see is the cat ears on her short black hair along with a black tail. She is trying to get to the city of Vale but ended up lost.
"I'm hungry. Need Master's curry." She said weakly as her stomach growls. She hears a sigh.
"Fran we only have a few hours before night fall. We need to get to the city first." The voice said which was coming from the sword on her back.
"But Master!" Fran whined and falls down from hunger.
"Fran? Geeze you're real piece of work. Fine I will make some curry. But you have to promise that you'll work extra hard when we get to the city." The sword said as it wobbles out of its sheath. Fran nods.
"Nn." She simply says as the sword got out and floats threw the air.
"I'll bring out the ingredients and you'll be setting up the fire, okay?" The sword says to Fran as she nods again now smiling brightly while she takes off her bag which seems too big for her child-like size.
-Half an hour later-
"It's done Fran." The sword said loudly to Fran as she brings out her hands while drooling a waterfall.
"Fran your drooling to much!" The sword shouts out as Fran wipes her mouth and gets a bowl of curry from her Master's invisible hands
"Master's curry is always good." Fran says with twinkling eyes as the sword sweat drops.
'Where I come from that curry is pretty much standard.' It thinks as it sees Fran smiles and sighs. But they stop when it hears growls.
Fran picks up the noise thanks to her cat ears while the sword floats near Fran.
"Damn it and I heard this is one of the least invested." The sword said to itself as it and Fran felt a dark feeling surrounding them. They then heard a Grimm from behind ready to jump.
"Fran behind you!" The sword shouts up as a Grimm, which seems to be a Beowolf pounds towards Fran.
Like all Grimm, Beowolves has dark black fur along with a white masks made out of bones and red markings.
Fran quickly sidesteps but the claws ended up hitting her hand, the same hand which was holding the bowl of curry.
The sword quickly finds out and goes to Fran who was shaking.
"Fran you got to calm down." It says as Fran wasn't listening.
"They destroyed Master's food, his holy curry." She mumbles as the sword sweat drops again.
'I think your overestimating my cooking here.' It thought but its hilt was grabbed by Fran.
"With the power of the curry gods, I will smite thee." Fran said loudly as the Beowolf growls as it charges and attacks again.
Though Fran jumps back and unleashes a magic spell.
FIRE MAGIC! [FLARE BLAST!]
A fire ball escapes her hand, a Beowolf was surprised but that ended him being burned as it dies. Fran smiles victorious but then got punched by the swords invisible fist.
"You idiot don't go burning the forest down." It said as Fran nods.
"Sorry." Fran mumbles as they heard more growls heading their way.
"It looks like the other Grimm are heading this way." It says while waiting for the Beowolf to disappear.
WATER MAGIC! [AQUA CREATE!]
The sword casted a spell as it blows away the fire. Thankfully water magic works great with fire and because the fire as it is made by Fran who was only level five on fire magic.
"Remember Fran, when we're in a forest use earth and wind magic. Got it?" It said as Fran nodded while pouting.
The Beowolves crawls into the open space as Fran holds up her Master.

"These Grimm look weak. Your ready Fran?" It said as Fran nods.
"Nn." She says and charged at the Grimm. They roar at the black cat as they charge as well.
Fran swings the sword as it slashes the Grimm like butter. A Grimm pounce towards her but Fran sidestepped and stabbed on its head.
"Fran to your left!" The sword shouted as Fran jumps up and lands on a branch above her.
"Nn thanks Master." She said quietly as she jumps of and stabs the sword right through the Beowolf. But before it dissolves, Fran uses the corpse as a battering ram as she hits the other Grimms away.
"Wish these things have cores in them. Might of made this fight worth it." It says to itself as it sighs. When the Grimm they stabbed dissolved, both Master and Fran started casting while lifting her hand.
EARTH MAGIC! [STONE ARROW!]
EARTH MAGIC! [STONE BARRETT!]
They both shouted as rocks were launched as projectiles and hit many Beowolves.
Two Beowolves pounces to Fran but she dodges to the right and slashes them both.
[Double Slash!]
The remaining Grimm was about to go for another round but all of them stopped.
"Why did they stop? Fran stay on you toes." It says as Fran nodded. They heard a howl loud enough to send the birds flying. The sword notice Fran's hair standing up.
"Whew boy." It said to itself as he knew Fran is getting excited.
Trees tumbles down as they see another Beowolf but it was definitely the Alpha of the pack. Not only was it bigger then any of them but also has bones sticking out of its back and arms.
"Be careful Fran. This one seems more intelligent then the rest. Just to make sure though. [APPRAISAL!]" It said but was left unheard as Fran charges at the alpha while her pride kicks in.

A Grimm that has lived much longer then an ordinary Beowolf. It's experience gives it higher intelligence as well as more bones for defence. The more bones it has, the smarter it is.
Fran tries to slash at the leg but the Alpha lifts it up in time and brings it down to stomp on Fran. She jumps of and lands on a tree and jumps back to attack.
The Alpha roars as it brings its claws and slashes Fran.
"Fran are you okay!?" The sword shouts in worry but luckily she has evil resistance and that her aura kicks in as it heals in the rest. Unfortunately it was slow since they only unlocked it recently.
But again it was left unheard of as she runs at it again.
"Fran stop! We need a plan!" It shouts out as the Alpha goes for the attack.
"Nn don't worry Master." Fran says as she jumps up, dodging the Alpha's attack and runs up it arm. She got onto it's head as it thrashes about. But Fran stabs the sword on its neck and unleashes her most recent magic spell.
LIGHTNING MAGIC! [SPARK!]
The spell was launched as the alpha shook from the shock. Fran let's go of the sword and jumps back to the ground. The alpha was injured as it notice the cat girl is now unarmed and charges in.
"Master now." Fran said smiling. She can just see her Master smiling with her.
"Take this you foul beast! LIGHTNING MAGIC! [SPARK!]" It shouts out as the Alpha gets shocked again. Fran uses blink as it goes to the Alpha like a black blur and uses a melee attacks at close range.
[Vibration Blitz!]
She shouts out as she vibrates her legs and kick the Alpha. It bends to its knee as Fran quickly jumps back and got the sword out. She jumps again up high and looks at the Alpha as it looks up and Howls.
It blew Fran back but still managed to keep her sights on it.
[SONIC WAVE!]
She swung her Master as the energy launces and cuts the Alpha
With their Alpha gone, the other Beowolves ran off as they felt that they are no match for the cat girl.
"Whew, they are gone now. Are you okay Fran. Fran?" Fran was looking else where as the sword looks as well and sighs again. It seems in the middle of battle the curry pot fell down.
"Curry." Fran sadly says as she felt a pat on the head. She purrs a bit as the sword looks at Fran.
"How about we make the last hurdle to the city and I will make the best curry yet." The sword promises as Fran was in awe with drool dripping down.
"Best Curry made by master. Nn I will try my best." Fran said with determination and hunger fuelling her. The sword laughs a bit as it gone back into its sheath as Fran packs up.
'I don't know how we got into this world but as long as Fran's dreams come true. Then I don't care where we are.' It thought as it looks down at Fran who was humming about curry. It chuckles as it looks up and just about see's a tower over the tree tops.
"Let's see if they really hold the answer we're looking for." It says as Fran nods.
"Nn."
