Hi guys, welcome to my second chapter. As always sit back and enjoy!

"Three minutes until the jump!" shouted the pilot over the roar of the engine. Rushing below Seth were alternating patches of Forest and city. They were reaching the outskirts of the city. According to Ruby when her team went here for their first mission it was crawling with beowolf, creep, goliath, and the occasional nevermore. When her team had gone there they had found an entrance to the tunnels. They had found that they were crawling with more Grimm. Some of which were so rare that they had never been named. Seth chose not to enter here but rather enter at an area closer to the convergence point.

The tunnel had been about five feet below the surface there and with any luck the ceiling would have eroded by now. If not Seth could always use some of his burn dust to break through.

"One minute till the jump!" shouted the pilot. Seth hurried to strap on his scabbard and put the dust crystals into his various pockets. Each one specially made to hold a dust crystal. The cabin lights turned red and the bay door opened. Seth walked back from the door holding onto the cargo webbing for assistance. Then when he had reached the door to where the pilot was he turned around and gave a nod.

"Thanks for the ride sergeant!" The pilot gave a brief nod and then shouted "Green light! GO GO GO."

Seth ran and jumped into smoothness. Thankfully all of the ten minutes of his landing strategy preparation on his first day payed off. Bouncing off a tree and landing in a crouch he was virtually silent. looked around surveying the area looking for any Grimm he might have alerted. Thankfully there were none so Seth got to work on finding his entrance.


It had only taken him a couple of minutes to find the gaping hole leading to the tunnels. At first he thought it was a Grimm nest until he saw how deep it was. Taking out a rope he had filched from the supplies room he started his rappel. It was a good thing that he wasn't afraid of heights. The only problem was that his rope ended about twenty feet above the bottom of the hole.

He let go of the rope and fell using just a little bit of one of his gust dust crystals to ensure that he made no sound hitting the ground. Seth looked around and saw that he was surrounded by tunnels. He had expected that, however he had not expected them all to look the same. He also didn't expect two of them to be on top of each other. Pulling out his map he decided to take the top tunnel. Worst case he could just break through that ceiling too, right?

He put his map away and pulled out a flare. He light it and watched the globs of burning prosperous fly off of it for a minute before gathering the courage to continue through the cavern. The rocky ground was going to make for a rough 10 miles. Something that would usually be easy for Seth.


Through this experience if there was one thing that Seth had learned is that its hard to hide from Grimm while walking through a straight tunnel. Even so Seth made slow progress through the tunnel until he had finally reached a cavern full of sleeping grim and in their center was a pedestal with a black brass Bow sitting on it. It must be the Bow of Vayaduleed. Since Seth chose the upper path it had lead to a small terrace surrounding the cavern. If he had taken the lower path he would be walking through the Grimm. This way he could clime over the Grimm and drop down next to the bow. From there he would run and gun until he found his ride home.

Seth walked up to the cavern wall and started to feel around for handholds before he realized that the flare was spitting prosperous. Burns didn't bother him anymore but in a drop landed on a Grimm before he grabbed the bow it would be game over. Reluctantly he placed it in a recess on the wall hoping that the dim light it emitted across the cavern would be enough.

Seth move a foot to the left and grabbed the first hold he could find. A sloper. This would be fun thought Seth and he started his climb. Once he reached the overhang Seth realized his mistake. It would be almost impossible to climb this alone. So once again relying on his Semblance Seth pulled some dust off of his gust crystal and used it to support him as he swung from stalactite to stalactite until he was right above the bow. Then sliding down a larger stalactite and with more of his gust crystal he managed to land right next to the bow without waking a single Grimm.

Seth picked up the bow and weighed it in his hands. Pulling the string experimentally to test its draw weight. Then just as Ozpin had told him an arrow appeared nocked on the string. Perfect though Seth. Using more Gust crystal he jumped to the other side of the cavern now that there was no need to worry about waking the Grimm and started running. He managed to make it a full mile before the Grimm caught up.

Time for the boom, thought Seth as he drew dust from his burn crystals. He left a trail of fire as the ceiling collapsed on the Grimm behind him. That should be enough to slow them for a little bit, thought Seth. Then he ran like hell.


He managed to reach the tunnel entrance before the grim caught up to him. With a couple simple glyphs he managed to run up the wall to the end of his rope and used the rest of his burn crystal to finish the job.

The resulting boom brought Grimm from miles to where he was. He did his best to hold them off with his sword until he saw a Nevermore. Pulling back on the bowstring he took aim and fired. To his amazement the Nevermore kept flying like nothing had happened but it was slowly turning white from where the arrow hit it. A full minute later the nevermore was completely white and blue and was flying circles in the sky. Feeling a tug in the back of his mind Seth had an Idea.

He pictured the nevermore swooping down and picking him up and to his amazement it did it. With a whoop of exhilaration Seth set the Nevermore's path towards Beacon. Then he climbed on its talons to get to the top of it. The wind was so strong he couldn't look into it. Looking down and seeing how high he was filled Seth with amazement. This truly was amazing.
