Flashback
"Find anything?" A teenager spoke from under a tree as he put a letter that he was reading in his pocket, seemingly to no one.
"A pack of Beowolves a couple miles north, and a Deathstalker a bit deeper in the forest." A that looked the same age spoke from her hiding spot in the tree.
"You find any of Wendigo?" The boy said as he grabbed his walking stick that was leaning on the tree.
"No" and with that the girl jumped out of the tree beside her friend.
"Let's go Destiny, our patrol isn't finished yet." The Boy said while walking away.
"So Gavin, what's our next stop" Destiny said as she caught up to him
"We need to check on the portal, then we have to find clear out the old watchtower." Gavin spoke while he looked at a piece of paper in his hands
"You know what we need, scrolls, then we can actually see what our aura's at, and we won't have to carry pecs of paper with us!" The girl spoke as she made seemingly random hand gestures.
"Relax Destiny, we'll get them next time we head to Vale." Gavin said trying to calm her down a bit before pausing. "Do you smell that?"
"Yeah that would be the Grimm I told you about, wait I think I smell a human not far from the Grimm" Destiny said with worry in her voice.
Yeah we need to go!" and as he finished his sentence both of them were already running towards the scent.
After a couple minutes they came across a clearing in the woods.
"Hey Destiny Wait!" Gavin yelled suddenly.
"Wha-why?" Destiny spoke out in confusion looking a little worried.
Pointing his stick at the sky just above the middle of the clearing "the portals gone, somethings going on"
Destiny nodded and grabbed a bow and arrow and had it ready while Gavin holding his walking stick in front of him.

Memories of the battle with Grima were flooding through Robin's mind when an unfamiliar voice intruded on his memories.
"We can't just leave him here" a voice that sounded like a girls said.
Robin was starting to wake up 'wha-where, wait am I still alive'
"Well, let's hear your idea for getting him back safely." Another voice said, this one sounding more like a boy's
'where am I' Robin opened his eyes for a moment seeing two figures standing over him, with the sun directly behind them so he could only see a silhouette of them.
"Yeah um, I don't actually have any ideas." The girl said
'Well this is a nice bit of Deja vu' Robin thought as he started to move a bit
"Wait I think he's waking up" the girl said when his eyes started to open.
'please don't be a field please don't be a field please don't be a field' Robin was begging in his mind.
"Don't you know better then to fall asleep in the middle of a field?"
'fuck'
Robin got up and saw the two people in front of him. Both of them appeared to be his age of 17 with the boy being about the same size and the girl being an inch or two smaller then them. The boy was wearing an animal skin cape with grey fur, presumably a wolf if the wolf head that could be worn like a hood was an indicator. He was also wearing a black overcoat with the sleeves ripped off that was covered with deferent leather armor. He wore a leather breastplate and a pauldren on each shoulder the one on the left being longer and thicker. His wrists were covered by leather bracers, and like his pauldrens, covered more of his left arm then the right. and a black figure less glove on his right hand. Under all this was a blood red T-shirt. He was wearing a dark blue pair of sweat pants and a pair of black and red runners. His neck had a black bandana that could easily be pulled up to cover his face. His hair which was a dark brown almost black colour, which was the same colour as his eyes, was messy and reached down to his shoulders. His skin was a mid-dark brown colour. In his hand was what Robin assumed to be some sort of wooden staff, and hanging on his waist was sword, roughly around the Falchion's length and width, but possessing a guard that had talons curving slightly toward the blade. Robin could also see a handle to a sword on his back, but the object connected to it was hidden by the cape. But what surprised him most were the canine ears on the top of his head.
The girl's hair, skin and eyes were the same colour as the boy's, they even had similar facial features and ears, which led Robin to believe that they're related. Compared to the boy she was much lighter armed. In her hands was a bow and arrow with knife attached to it so it could be used in close-quarters. Her clothing consisted of a dark blue jacket with black sleeves that was un-zippered with a white shirt under it. She was wearing a pair of jean short-shorts with black leggings and black boots that reached her calf. Her waist-length hair was pulled into a low ponytail. She was rearing a pair of black gloves that had pieces of metal on the back of each figure near the tips. The only piece of armor was the pauldren that held the strap that the quiver was on.
"Hurry up, we need to go now!" the boy said towards Robin as he was getting up.
"Wha-whats going on?" Robin asked as the girl shot an arrow in to the forest.
"Not now, we'll tell you when we get back to the village." The girl said shooting another arrow.
Taking a look back Robin saw what they were running from, a large group of humanoid wolves with black fur and bones sticking out of certain places. And a hand full of them were getting close to Robin, with the closest one starting to bring it's claws down on him. Just before the claws reached him, a powerful wind came and launched them back, Robin turned around and saw the boy stab his stick into the ground then bring it up. With each action making it rain lightning or cause a wall of earth to form blocking the werewolves. The boy was now panting from his assault on the beasts and was leaning on the staff. "That won't hold them for long, we need to run" the boy said before running in the opposite direction, followed closely by the girl, and then Robin
As they were running, Robin saw the same silver-haired boy from when he killed Grima. He was wearing simple clothes that he saw most villagers wear in Ylisse. Before he could say something was already telling him not to talk "Don't say anything, only you can see or hear me, I'll explain everything later. But for now you should probably know that this is a different world, so you should probably hide that fact from people. It would also help you to know that the tomes that you held when you killed Grima were infused with you, or more specifically your sword, which has bonded itself to you so you can summon it and it won't break. It can also allow you to use the magic from the tomes that it absorbed, and as you figured out you can perform dark magic due to your connection to Grima. That's all I'm can tell you for now, try not to die." And the boy was gone before he could say anything. Robin also felt his Levin sword on his waist after a bit of running.
One of the werewolves soon came out in front of them, and Robin, wanting to test if the boy was telling the truth said the first spell that came to mind "Elwind" and true to his words, a blade of wind came shooting out of his hand, then he launched another one when the wolf hadn't been killed by the first one.
Soon a large group of the wolves and a couple bear like creatures came creeping out of the woods into the small clearing they were currently in, surrounding them. "We're going to have to fight our way though. Destiny stay back." the boy was ordered the girl as she shot an arrow at a wolf before turning to Robin. "You good with that sword?"
"I can hold my own" Robin replied looking at the sword. What shocked him though was the fact that the lightning that normally came off of it was replaced by a green aura, similar to the one that comes off of a wind tome.
"Ok, stay back and keep the grimm from getting to Destiny, we need to survive till help comes." He said while putting his staff in it's holster on his back then raised his fists which were surrounded by a dark aura along with his feet. "Oh yeah, names Gavin"
Robin who was looking around trying to make some strategy simply replied "Robin".
Soon the creatures attacked, with the one leading attacking Gavin. He creature brought it's claws down on him, but Gavin jumped backwards to dodge then brought both fists to the side of it's head while it was open, which was followed by a knee to the chin then a kick while back flipping away. Behind Robin a grimm was heading towards Destiny, but as it was bout to slash at her she ducked under it as if she knew it was coming, then slashed at it with her bow, then took the dagger out and started cutting and stabbing it rapidly, then jumped back and shot an arrow into it's head killing it. As for Robin, he was keeping a distance trying to figure out why he couldn't find out the creatures' strengths, weaknesses or skills, while launching numerous spells at them. He soon discovered that his swords attributes changed depending on the last spell he performed when he had to use it on a bear.
After a while a Large Scorpion came and knocked several trees down. Gavin, who was just finishing a bear with his sword, saw this and put his sword on his shoulder, took a step forward and brought the blade down sending a wave of energy at the opponent. The scorpion was sent back a bit, but was relatively un harmed. Seeing this, Destiny shot several arrows at it with light blue crystals attached to them at the ground near the scorpion. Once hitting the ground, the arrows exploded into chunks of ice freezing the scorpion and preventing it from moving. "That won't hold it for long" Destiny spoke as her and Gavin started to run in the opposite direction with Robin following.
As they ran a group of the wolves came in front of them. Gavin who was leading the charge grabbed his staff and started sprinting at them as a dark aura surrounded him, and his staff had a spearhead come out of some hidden compartment. The lead wolf also started charging at him and both leaped into the air, but right before they met Gavin teleported backwards then struck the beast in the side of the neck killing it then he pulled out a curved blade from his back and attached it to the base of the spear creating a scythe. Using the new weapon, he was charging through the crowd killing the wolves with it as a scythe, spear, and even detaching the blade to use as a sword.
"Robin, after me" Destiny yelled as she put her bow away and the pieces of metal on her gloves extended to make claws which she used to slash the wolves after dodging their attacks leaving them open for Robin to finish with his sword.
Soon they got passed the wolves without slowing down they came across a watch tower. "Alright we
Should be fine now" and immediately after Destiny said that the scorpion came of the woods and started charging at them, this lead Robin to prepare a Thoron, but before he could launch it, large bangs of noise came and surprised Robin and seamed to be hurting the monster, then a man wearing clothing much like that of a sword master killed it with what Robin assumed to be a killing edge. His hair was a bit shorter then Robin's and black, and he appeared to be in his mid twenties. There was also a group of about fifth-teen soldiers with strange weapons.
"Gavin, Destiny, who's this?"
XxXxX
Gavin and Destiny told the man, who Robin figured was named Grayson, the story of how they met, while walking then they started asking him questions. After a while the child popped up next to Robin "Remember to keep the fact that you're from another world secret."
"Hey Robin, where you from?" Destiny asked him, which caused him to quickly think of a lie "I'm a mercenary, I was just passing by here." The kid who was still there was currently congratulating him on his lie. "Good thinking, you cou-" the kid was then interrupted by Destiny "Uh yeah, I meant where did you grow up" This again caused Robin to think up the lie "I was raised in a small village, I forgot where it was."
"Hey Robin," Gavin started in order to grab his attention "you planning on becoming a huntsman, you could make more money then you do as a mercenary, and their similar job as well."
"Yeah" Robin said this only to keep his lie covered.
"You should come with us to Vale next week, we're heading over to register." Destiny said as the village came into view.
"I'll think about it" Robin said as he looked at the village. There were kids playing on the street and clothes put on clothes lines to dry.
"We can let you stay at our place" Greyson said while pointing at a farm a little out of town.
"Yeah, thanks"
"So Robin, you're not from this world are you" Gavin spoke, this surprised everyone, "what makes you say that?" All three of them said in unison
"We found under where the portal used to be" Gavin said as he pulled out a letter from his pocket, then started reading it "Grandmaster of Ylisse and Rightful heir to the thrown of Plegia Robin" he then put the letter down and tossed it to him. "those aren't any of the kingdoms in Remnant, and these gold coins aren't of a mint I've seen before" he said this while flipping one of them while Robin was digging around his pockets looking for his money pouch before Gavin tossed it at him.
"the gigs up, you can tell them" the boy said as he vanished. "yeah I'm from another world, you guys mind helping me get back" Robin said after chuckling a bit while scratching the back of his head
"We'll do what we can Robin, but the portal here closed and we don't know if there were anymore, we can se if there are any if we can clear the monsters out of the towers not far from here, but if this one shut, anymore that may have been in Remnant may have shut." Grayson said as they got to the farm.
"So we just have to kill a couple of those creatures-"
"Grimm, there called grimm, and no, the monsters I'm talking about are human like, we started calling them wendigoes" Grayson said as he interrupted Robin.
"Uh yeah, do these wendigoes have red eyes and breath a black mist?" Robin asked worried.
"Yeah, these creatures from your world?" this time it was Destiny who spoke up
"Fuck! I didn't go on a suicide mission just for the Risen to stay alive!" Robin yelled as he kicked the side of the barn in anger
"I'll take that as a yes, Robin, your going to have to sleep in a barn tonight, we're going to attack the uh, Risen tomorrow" Gavin said "we also have a couple hours before sunset if you want to do something."
"Hey wait, do you have a map of the area that the Risen are at, and if you do, could you bring it to me"
"yeah, come inside" Destiny said while running in with everyone else walking
Once inside Robin saw what appeared to be a map with a detailed description of Risen troops, how many, there weapons, and mounts if they had any. But what worried Robin was the fact that there were patrol routes written down. Here it is, we've been working on a plan for quite a while, although we couldn't come up with anything." Gavin spoke as he inspected his blade
"Yeah you can leave it to me, uh how many people are we taking with us?" Robin asked already forming a plan. "Not much, us and the group of men that were with me earlier.
After a while Robin had his plan formed, but one thing was still fresh in his mind, the Risen had patrol routes, which meant someone was controlling them.

Professor Port, Doctor Oobleck, there is a village by one of the support towers that was overridden by the grimm recently, although I don't believe the village has been destroyed yet, they are well armed. I want you two to head out there and get the tower up and running. Qrow should be in the area in case of emergency" A man said from behind his desk drinking coffee to the two men in front of him.
"Yes sir" both of them called out.
XxXxX
"These things aren't quite as strong as the grimm, but they are much better at following orders, wouldn't you agree?" a voice called out from nowhere "yes, they are quite good at listing to me. So tell me what is it you want in exchange. Oh before I forget, my name is Cinder, may I ask yours?" a woman with black hair and a red dress walked out of the shadows
"There is a man with silver hair called Robin, bring him to me, so do we have our deal" the voice said as a Risen held out it's hand to shake.
"Uh Mercury shake his hand for me" Cinder said as the grey-haired boy in question did so, then looked at his hand and rubbed it on his shirt.
"And my name is Grima"
A/N: So how is it. The OCs are necessary because they will be a part of Robin's team if you haven't guessed yet, although Grayson won't come. If you have any OCs that you want to appear in Beacon send a PM and I might put them in. And I a Beta reader could be useful, so if you feel up to it, send a message.
