Yay ! Welcome to chapter 2 soo.. Uh, enjoy the story- Alpha out
Team RWBY entered the Beoland territory and landed on the nearest civilization they found. They needed to talk to the man who spotted their target and to have a lead as to where they should start looking at the isolated parts of this land
"Soo, they say that this man's name was Benedict. And I think that we should start asking right now" Weiss said as she looked at the scroll
"Well, I will be staying here until you all came back" Charles, their pilot looked at the bullhead "And I'll check the bullhead to make sure that we won't have any complications on the way there"
They nodded and started to look for Benedict. An old man led them to a well-built house near a tavern. They knocked and greeted by a man with a Beowolf skin as his cloak
"Good day" Ruby greeted "Are you Benedict?"
"Yes. Is there anything you want?"
"Have you seen this man?"
Benedict looked at the picture closely before nodding his head
"Let's discuss it inside" Benedict said with a warm smile "It's kind of cold out here"
The four went inside and saw a variety of Grimms that are frozen in place and skinned Grimms. They even saw a head of an Ursa on his wall
"Well, if you're wondering what are these" Benedict took four mugs and pour hot coco and one of them had tea "This is what I do for a living"
"Are you a poacher?" Blake asked as she took a seat which earned questioning looks from her teammates
"Never heard it before?" Benedict chuckled "Poachers are people who hunts Grimms but in contrast with hunters, we never let the corpse disintegrate. We use special dusts to make sure that they won't disintegrate. And then, we sell what we caught"
The trio had their mounts formed a cute 'o'
"About the young man" He said as he handed them the mugs "I last saw him near the heart of Doomed King, I think its west from here"
"Doomed King? Really? Why did they named the place like that" Yang snorted
"It's because the third King of atlas led his army there only to be slaughtered by the critical number of Grimm" Weiss looked at Yang "You never listened to Dr. Oobleck didn't you?"
"Nah" She waved her hand dismissively "And besides, I can barley keep up with his mouth" She then grinned
"Oh no please no" Weiss face palmed
"YANG~" Ruby whined
"Please excuse her" Blake pinched Yang's ear
"Anyways" Ruby cleared her throat "How bad is the Grimm infestation there?"
"Going there would be suicide" Benedict simply said
"How did you meet him?" Weiss sipped on her mug of hot coco
"There was a huge blizzard that trapped me and my friends at an open field at Doomed King" he looked at the Ursa head "After the blizzard cleared up, there are many Grimms near and far trapping us"
"And then?" Blake said, interested
"He came out of nowhere like a knight in shining armor. He had a black cloak though" Benedict smiled "He killed every bold Grimm that dared to kill us. Disappearing and reappearing in a cloud of black rose petals"
"Rose petals?" Yang raised an eyebrow
"Yes. Black rose petals" He looked at Yang "He even carried some type of box that can change into any weapon for killing but he mostly used a scythe"
"Like Ruby" Blake said quietly
"Can we see him easily?" Weiss asked
"Unfortunately, no" He sighed "He can see you but you can't see him"
"Like a phantom?"
"Yes" he nodded "But I guess you should start looking now. It will take you 24 hours to get to the heart of the Doomed King if the weather is fine"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well, the weather changes from fine to worse and you can be attacked by Nevermores. The Grimms in Beoland are stronger and deadlier than the Grimms of Mountain Glenn or the forest of Forever Fall" Benedict warned
"How come?" Ruby tilted her head
"They are much older and the rough weather made them harder to kill"
"Well, I guess that's our cue. Let's go guys" She looked at him "Thank you for the coco"
"My pleasure" Benedict bowed "Good luck though, he is very rarely seen and he was very fast. And also, the weather there might kill you if not for the Grimms"
"Don't worry" Yang smiled "We can outlast it even if the situation is Grimm"
Weiss took her ear and went outside dragging a whining Yang
"Thank you for the information" Weiss said as she twisted Yang's ear
"OW! WHY MY EAR?"
"Well, guys" Ruby looked at them "We still have a long way ahead of us so let's go"
They went to the bullhead. Charlie smiled at them
"Ready to go guys?"
"Yeah, let's go find him"
The five of them boarded the bullhead. At Benedict's house
"Have you told them about the Wolf King?" A woman that came from the back asked
"Yes. But then, I wish that they are lucky though. They will have a hard time finding him" Benedict sighed as he looked at the bullhead taking off
"Interesting" The woman took off her cloak "Ever since the Wolf King appeared, the corruption in our place has minimized so why want him to be found?"
"He's done a great job in making the corrupted officials gone and saving the people who became bold enough to venture the Doomed King" He turned to her "I wish him to be found so that he could at least have a taste of happiness and to find what he was searching for"
"Well, good luck with that" she smirked "Anyways, have you told them that the moment that they will arrive there, it will be trouble?"
"What do you mea-" his eyes went wide "Holy…..shit"
