So I didn't expect to get some views on the story but I really appreciate you guys for checking it out. So on with the story

Ashkii was well for him and his twin brother were walking along the trail from the house they shared with both their mothers: White Shell Woman and Changing Woman. The further he and his twin brother who they both had no names ventured east they sighted an animal with brownish fur and a sharp nose. Drawing their arrows and positioning their bows, took aim at the sharp nosed creature. But before they could shoot he disappeared. When they returned home that evening, they described in detail the animal that gotten away.

"We have travelled east this day." The twin brothers told their mothers. As they described the creature that they saw in great detail as it fled into a canyon where he disappeared.

"Beware!" replied the women.

"That is coyote you saw!"

They explained that they must never follow him and never trust him for he was the trickster. For he brings great mischief and brings disorder where ever he goes and that he was a spy for Déélgééd the horned monster, one of the alien creatures who seek to destroy you and who have been stalking all of our people in this world.

Ashkii later dreamed of the raven of the south who was the spy for Tsé nináhálééh, the Monster Bird.

He dreamed of buzzard of the west who was the spy Tsédah hódziiłtáłii the Monster That Kicks People Down Cliffs.

He dreamed of magpie of the north who was the spy of Bináá' yee aghání the Monster Who Kills With His Eyes.

He dreamed of the warnings from Changing Woman and White Shell Woman.

"Hey wake up!" a woman shouted rousing Ashkii from his sleep. Opening his eyes he gazed upon a woman with hair like snow and skin whose skin was finer than the white sands in the land of the Dine. Her face showed maturity as well as youth. He can already tell she was a person of higher standing by the way she carried herself. He would've asked where he was if it wasn't for the fact he couldn't understand her and vise versa.

"I have no idea what you're saying" he said dryly before raising his hand which earned a intrigued look from the woman in front of him. He sat up from the hospital bed and tapped his chest. "Ashkii."

When Winter came to the recovery ward of the medical bay of the fort. She didn't expect much from him as far as communications went but for now she would have to interpret what he was saying. She nodded at the gesture so surely he knows how to communicate with a language barrier. She held out her own hand and tapped her chest just like he did in return. "Winter Schnee."

Winter was relieved knowing this has actually gone better than she hoped. For all she know she could have been stuck with some barbarian who would have been resistant to make an honest effort. She already knows from the doctor that he has no records from any database on Remnant. She certainly knew he wasn't part of the Branwen Bandit Clan. That was evident on his gear. It was primitive. Like they belonged in a museum the rifle they found with him was old, like way to old for it to be around anymore. They did a check on any antique firearms that might have been stolen and nothing came up. So for now they kept his weapons as well as the weird gear they found in a vacant storage locker in the armory.

A week later Winter was sitting in a chair with her legs crossed as she held up a small whiteboard and marker. Now she was working through different items such as food and barn animals. As of now he picked up the language faster than she had expected. Granted he knew phrases and their meaning when he and the raiding parties would hold supply caravans at gun point. He would often ask them why they seek to work against the Indian's way to provide and survive.

"What is this animal Ash." Winter said, bringing Ashkii out of his thoughts. He looked at the rather crude drawing of a sheep. He would always grow amused at the direction of her art.

"It is Sheep, Snow Woman." He replied from across the bars within the prison cell. He was dressed back in his clothes which consisted of red moccasins with soft buck skin chaps and loin cloth, he wore no shirt save for the buffalo bone bead chest plate as well as the necklace of the four sacred mountains around his neck. As well as the various pouches containing what remained of his fathers medicine bundle. He was currently sitting cross legged on the rug that his mother weaved for him.

"I've said many times my name is Winter." She said as her nickname from the sand skinned man was ironic.

"You more than earned that after I saw how strong your medicine is." He complemented her semblance.

Seven days ago

Ashkii was finally able to retrieve most of his belongings save for his weapons when he was officially discharged from the medical ward of the base. He was left in private save for a couple of soldiers standing out of the only exit to make sure he didn't escape like last time. As he set the bone bead chest plate on he was then permitted to go for a run as he crudely requested it.

As he walked out along with his two custodians whose names were Mike and Ike. They led him through the corridors past the barracks and eventually the main yard where soldiers would mill about doing their assigned duties. While others would move around supplies. Ashkii watched in curiosity and attention as each individual moved with a purpose. As he walked towards the main gate he gathered the attention of much of the soldiers doing their jobs. The responses were mixed, ranging from silent judgement, their own curiosity as well as the occasional wolf whistle from several of the female soldiers due to his well toned physique and rugged outfit that hinted his exotic nature.

The run went smoothly as Mike and Ike watched over their ward from horseback as they kept their horses at a smooth gallop to keep up with the man. On the way back however was where it went south. As you should know one of the soldiers who was ordered to lock up the man's belongings may or may not have snagged a yellow, blue, white and blue beaded necklace. When Ashkii saw the man who was wearing it he tried to reason with the man on why he took it. When the soldier told him to think of it as payment for his stay he kicked behind his knee when the soldier turned back around and then pushed him from his helmet and into the dirt. Needless to say when Winter found out she punished the man for theft by freezing his legs in solid ice with a glyph. But since Ashkii assaulted an Atlas Soldier he had to spend some disciplinary time in a cell. But now he has grown used to his cell. He already broke out several times to go to the mess hall and snag some of the bags of beef jerky. Much to the protest and threats from his handlers Mike and Ike.

"Why are we practicing all this talk I picked up your language now I just want to know the history of the world." Ashkii asked. Since yesterday he would speak of his peoples origin from the first world. The accounts she heard from him interested her whenever she picked up on his talk. She found it odd and saddening how his ancestors were forced from different entire worlds and to the next by either their own transgressions or by another.

"Alright fine where were we last night?" She asked the man behind the bars.

"You told me of a great war where Man and Faunus fought the dark monsters." Ashkii replied. Ever since he was told of the existence of Grimm he took it as a sign of the disharmony of this world. Where the monstrosities of man. Their anger, sadness, greed and hatred were born. These monsters take the shape of animals such as the bear, wolf, raven, snake as well as animals he has never heard of.

"So after the war and the expansion of Grimm territory pushed back each kingdom opened various academies to train the younger generation to harness their Aura and Semblance to hunt any Grimm that pose a threat to mankind." Winter explained as she sipped from her teacup of coffee.

"What of the Faunus now. I overheard from Mike and Ike that relations between the two are like the relationship of a wolf and coyote. They don't get along." Despite the crude way of explaining it Winter nodded.

"Yes and their leader Ghira Belladonna leads his people and their peace movement called the White Fang based on the Island Menagerie." Winter said as she brought out a tablet and pulled up a picture of the Belladona Family and handing it to Ashkii.

"They are cats?"

"Well yes their Faunus traits are feline in nature. His wife there, her name is Kali Belladonna and that is their daughter Blake." Winter told Ashkii as he swiped at the several portraits and a few videos of the leader giving several peace speeches.

"This man he chose to represent his people and just wants his kind to be treated like everyone else right." Ashkii asked as he found the same problem in this new world that was the same in the one he called home. A race of people who are seen lesser than the majority who lived on the earth and for one reason or another they are treated like a sickness. Mothers would shelter their children from them while their fathers encourage hate of them. Winter knew that look. She could see the anger start to cloud in his eyes as he started to watch news reports of Faunus brutality from various anti-faunus rallies in the more rural villages. As well as graffiti in Grimm over run towns longed abandoned by their Faunus residents.

"Ash can you give back the tablet?" Winter said softly as she grew more worried as she could hear his heavy breathing as he began to sweat.

"Yes I will Snow Woman." Said as he held it through the bars. Winter sighed in relief as she grabbed it and as she was getting up she gasped as the tablet had two thumb sized bends on both sides of the device and the screen was fractured. She only had one thought.

She cant have him and her father meet.

Later in the day she filled out a form to deputize Ashkii. But the only real hurdle she had to jump was filling out more forms stating he was a nomad rather than a resident with no real place of birth. The deputation of him would be a title that didn't officially exist but its purpose would be more than fare so she can keep an eye on him well enough until she knew he could take care of himself.

She groaned at all the paper work and finished her fourth cup of coffee for the morning as it was nearing noon. She sent a quick message to Mike and Ike to report to her and as the two entered her office and stood at attention she ordered them to be at ease and they took a seat as she sat down as well.

"As you should know I plan on deputizing Ash and since the majority of the soldiers complain of the MREs we all have to eat." She explained as the two looked at each other. "So as a sort of requirement to fulfill for the role and I want you two to proctor his task at hunting while also dispatching a Grimm or two." Winter said as she held out forms for the two to sign. Naturally they did for the reason that if they can do as much as they could they can move up and maybe join the Atlas Bureau of Investigations.

Now I do have several things planned out since I want this to take place in the Úlfhéðnar of Menagerie universe. I would also clarify that I don't care if you think im not Navajo my username is just an online moniker because Scott Wales is just easier to respond to rather than to be googled and find out who I am in the real world. So yeah if you got any ideas or questions don't be afraid to review the story and throw in your two cents or just PM me directly and I will try to reply at my earliest convenience.-Foxdachaosninja--Scott Wales--Anonymous
