It was a little over dawn, nearing around 7am. Jack had gotten one of the best nights of sleep ever in his life, well. This is technically his second life, so it was the best sleep he had had in his life. Jack felt something move the feathers on the back of his head and waked up because of it. Jack looked up and saw Tipora preen the feathers on the back of his head.
"Hey" Jack said as he felt the beak of Tipora ruffle and fix his feathers, and he had to be honest he liked it. He closed his eyes and let out a coolike noise out of instinct, the larger bird noticed it.
"Do you like that?" She asked before moving down to the area between his wings.
"Yes, i do" Jack answered as he let out the coo like noise again.
"Well do it yourself." She said flapping away.
"alright" Jack said as he turned his head around and began preening his feathers "I'm not really from around here, so i don't know the surrounding area. I thought you could help?"
"Umm. Maybe." The other bird said.
"I don't feel like dying because i accidentally flew into a dustling nest, i've seen our kin do that before and it doesn't look pleasant" Jack said as he finished preening his feathers
"Hmm. That would be unpleasant. Very well, I shall show you a thing or two." Tipora answered
"Thanks Tipora" Jack said as he looked at her, and she looked back she thought.
'He's very unusual. I'll give him that.' She glanced into his eyes, he was very unusual indeed
"So when are we going to look at the area?" Jack asked
"Later." Tipora said before she hopped out of the nest.
"Alright, what do we do now then?" He asked as he jumped Down to her
"I'm moving this away from here because there is a dustling nest near here." Said tipora who grabbed the gun and flew away at high speeds, Jack following as fast as he could. Jack flew as fast as he could but due to his smaller size he couldn't catch up with her and he soon lost her.
'Ah shit' Jack thought as he circled the area looking for her but he couldn't find her. 'Fuck, this is not good'
Jack circled even more before landing on The tallest tree he could see. If she were to come back he would see her do so. He landed on a branch and started to look into the horizon. Jack began preening The feathers underneath his wings as the tree waved in the wind. He heard footsteps and some twigs snapping. His head shot up and looked down. Directly underneath him was… A blonde, a male blonde. It was Taiyang but a tad younger than in the RWBY series. Around 3 to 5 years Jack would say. 'But what was he doing here?' Jack found himself wondering what he was doing here.
Jack jumped down onto a lower branch, and again and again. Until he found himself above Taiyangs head, he stared at the man waiting for any reactions. Taiyang wiped some sweat off his head before looking straight up, into Jack's emerald green eyes. Jack leaned his head to the right like a curious animal. Taiyang stared back confused. Most Grimm would have attacked or fled to get more grimm. But this one just stared back right at him. If it wasn't for the bone mask, Taiyang would have sworn that it wasn't grimm.
"What in the dust" Taiyang said as the bird slowly lowered its head to his level. It wasn't bigger than a Raven, around average size of a raven. "Hey there lil guy"
Jack seemed to react as he jumped down to a lower branch, Taiyang reached his arm out signaturing Jack to jump onto it. And Jack obleeged, Jack's tallons gripped around his arm and let him be carried.
"Hmmm, you're strange aren't you?" Taiyang said as he scratched Jack underneath the beak. It let out a strange coo noise. "Heh, you really seem to like that?"
Jack looked at Taiyang who continued to pet him. Suddenly Taiyang pulled out a scroll opened it and opened a Camera app. "My girls are gonna love this" He chuckled as he put it in selfie mode, smiled while Jack looked into The lens and leaned his head to The left. Taiyang took The picture and put Jack up on a branch again.
"Well i have to go Lil guy" Taiyang Said as he Petted Jack one last time and walked away.
'That was something' Jack thought as he watched Taiyang walk away. A couple of minutes after Jack decided to fly to The top of The tree again. He looked over The masses of trees and didn't even see The black dot move fast towards him. He let out a startled screech When a pair of talons caught him. He looked up to see The form lf Tipora.
"Why the fuck would you do that" Jack Said pissed.
Tipora let him go and landed in a tree below them and let out a low drumming screech, "hehe. you should keep watch little bird." she said mockingly after stopping herself from laughing
"Haha, yeah" Jack muttered "You totally didn't almost scare me to death"
Tipora bobbed her head, "Well keep track of your surroundings then."
"Yeah, I will" Jack said as he laid in the talons of Tipora "By the way where did you put The gun?"
"The dustling weapon?" Tipora asked.
"Yes, it is called a gun" Jack responded.
"Well I left it in the river." Tipora said.
"Good enough" Jack Said as he looked at Tipora.
Line break
"So where are we going again?" Jack asked as he flew alongside Tipora
"I'm showing you my flock sisters nest." Tipora said tilting slightly to keep balance
"Alright" Jack said as he did the same as Tipora "How many of them are there?"
"I do not know. Only a few return to the pools now and then. So I could not say." Tipora said
"Fine by me, I don't feel like getting stepped on by a giant of our kin" Jack said
"That does not happen often little bird, only when the briar get particularly clumsy."
"Ahah," Jack said "I haven't seen one in a while"
"No? They are pretty reclusive aren't they." tripora said
"Yeah, almost have forgotten what they look like." Jack said.
"Well that surprising seeing as they are immensely cumbersome." Tripora said scanning the ground for something
"Yeah" Jack Said still unsure of what a 'briar' was. "Anyways how long till we are there?"
"We should be there soon." Said tripora before diving to just above the trees.
Jack followed by diving and once again flew alongside her, this continued until they reached a foggy mountain. Tipora started to fly upwards and Jack followed the best he could. Eventually they came to a flat area. Several Stone buildings were located at the area. Jack recognized the place as the scene were Ruby cut off the Nevermore's head. Tipora landed and Jack landed right besides her. They waited for a brief minute or two before they heard a screech. Jack looked in the direction of the screech and stared right into the red glowing eyes of a giant nevermore. It was so gigantic, at least 80 times bigger than Jack himself, at tops 100 times bigger. The giant looked at him and Said, "Hello there little one" It spoke with a deep male voice "and hello to you too Tipora."
"I'm not little" Jack mumbled earning a laugh from the much much bigger nevermore.
"Well what are you if not small." It said as the branch it landed on creaked and groaned under its weight.
"I don't know" Jack Said "I just don't like being called little"
"Well you'll have so get used to it. Now who would you be?" The giant bird asked
"Im Xenon" Jack said, "I just recently got to this area."
"Hmm. Well it is good to have more of us around." Said the bird
"I do suppose that is true" Jack said "May i know your name?"
"Im Kalizari little one" The giant nevermore Said "I am 259 years old"
"That is a lot" Jack Said.
"Maybe." The bird said looking out over the ruins at lay a distance away "Anyways Tipora, how have you been doing young one?"
"I have been doing fine." Tripora said while flapping up on to the larger birds back, Jack looked at it and flew up onto The back and nestled in, shocked on how comforting The feathers were "And how have you been Kalizari?"
"I have been doing fine" Kalizari answered as he felt Jack nestle even more into his feathers "The dustling warriors have been ignoring me, they are clearing The forests for our kin. A dustling warrior ritual is coming, we should keep the our younglings away"
"I shall remember that. How long?." Asked Tipora
"14 Day cycles" Kalizari answered.
"Comfy" They heard Jack mumble as They both looked at him. "What?"
"Be that as it may. I do need to go soon and shall need you out." Said Kalizari
"Alright" Jack answered as he rose and flapped down to the ground, Tipora following. A few minutes later, Kalizari took off. The branch creaked again under the sudden release of force. "So what do we do now?"
"We should head back" Tipora answered
"Yeah" Jack answered "It would be nice, place is nice and all. But i don't feel like being stepped on" He said and took a look around the place with multiple big grimm.
Tipora and Jack landed in the nest, well Tipora did. Jack somehow managed to toble over and almost fall off the edge of Tipora's nest. He would have plummeted down if it wasn't for Tipora's superior size and reaction time. She quickly managed to snatch him up.
"Thanks" Jack said.
"Wasn't much Young one" Tipora answered.
"Still thank you" Jack said, "So what do we do now?"
"Maybe go down to the river and bully some Sawtooths" Tipora suggested
"Sawtooths?" Jack asked.
"Oh, their kind is funny. they have this lines of teeth in their mouth, like dozens of them, and can bite really hard, but they can't get out of the water, some of them can jump out of the water but just barely." Tipora Said, "But be no fool, they are still dangerous should you provoke them young one"
"I can believe so" Jack said as he looked up at the much bigger bird. Shuddering at the thought of a hundred teeth digging into him. "When do we take off?"
"Now." Said Tipora as she started flying off.
"Wait!" Jack exclaimed as he hurriedly followed her, struggling to keep up due to his smaller size and lack of experience in flying. They reached a river with a small pond very soon, Tipora hovered over the pond and went near, keeping a steady flight, Jack followed soon and began to steady as much as he could while flying. They encircled the small pond when Tipora cawed in a way to get attention.
"Eh. look at that boys, it's that flying girl again, gonna have at it this time, come one boys time to to get that flying nut."
"Yeah pluck her wings off this time, oi look she a little fella there, what is he a little brother, come here boy we are friendly, no way we are bloody dangerous, come on tiny little boy."
"Come on get closer, boy bring her to us.."
All of the Sawtooth kept saying pretty much the same thing in a big mess of voices and jumping grimm fish that Jack could see coming out of the water just to dive in again. Then he got an idea, an awful idea. He had spotted a nice brown gift laid perfectly on top of a leaf. He flew Down and grabbed the leaf carrying the gift with him. He flew low, just above the water. "Splash" a bigger Sawtooth had jumped up, just like Jack wanted. Beginning to fly upwards he let go of the leaf and watched in joy as The gift landed in The throat of The sawtooth who instantly started to choke. The sawtooth eventually got it out just in time to look up at the two nevermores laughing.
"Oh you mincy prick, wanna play like that come here you get closer." Said one of The sawtooth
"Have at you flying retarded spoofs, come'ere let's settle it you pricks." Said another
"Come close you two." Said The Big one who Jack had given a gift.
Tipora started to descend slightly until she stopped, just there a sawtooth jumped up in the air and try to bite at her, only to fail miserably as he got extremely close but just not close enough, Tipora just giggled, she hovered there as many sawtooths try to take a bite of her, not one of them was able to reach. Eventually, The grimm fish had had enough and decided to retreat to The depths of The small pond.
"That was fun" Jack Said chuckling, "The big ones face when i threw the shit in his mouth was priceless"
"Yes it was, but what is that term?"
"Priceless? It's a human expression for When something is too good" Jack answered.
"Hmm… price-less… priceless…" Tipora said, trying "taste" the word.
"It's a bit weird, but i have grown quite fond of it" Jack said, Jack got slightly care less however, they weren't exactly over the pond anymore but they still were next to it and close to the ground, Jack descended a bit while talking and soon a splash of water followed a black torpedo came near him.
"Have at you!"
Yelled one of the sawtooths, it almost bite him, but Jack dodge to the side just in time, the sawtooth landed the ground out of the water, unable to move or anything else other than jump up and down, it was pretty much doing the Magikarp thought Jack.
"Damn you you flying things!"
"Yeah, fuck you too" Jack said as he started to ascend.
"Gonna have you one day, gonna do it right boys… boys? Brothers and sisters where are you?". It soon realized that it was not only on land, it was alone on land. "Boys!, help a brother out!"
"How about we head back? Not much up for seeing sir up-for-no-good here die" Jack suggested.
"What you mean die? He's just stuck there"
"There are pretty big odds of an animal stepping on him." Jack said, "Or a flier mistakes him for a normal swimmer"
"Hmm nah… he's just stuck, trust me nobody wants to step or eat one them, they bite really, really hard I heard, still we should go, leaving him there like that is just… priceless."
"Good one" Jack chuckled as they spread their wings and settled for Tipora's nest.
"Hey boys… we are brothers for something, come on boys I promise you one day we'll get the air rats… boys?"
AAAND there you go. Sorry for the three month wait. I was stuck for quite a while and was distracted by some random shit that wasn't really important. But lets get on with the reviews shall we?
Review: LordOfTee: This is an interesting concept, I haven't seen that many Human Turns Into Grimm stories i've only seen like three so far. Hope you don't just turn him into a GrimmStu that everybody loves. Other than that I really like it.
Answer: Thanks for liking the story, and yeah. Because of so few Human turns into grimm made me wanna write this story. If by GrimmStu you mean smut. Then fuck no. There will not be smut in this story other than if you think cuddling means smut. And thanks again for liking it
Review: Bomberguy789: So for whatever reason there seemed to be a lot of random capital letters in the middle of sentences. And Jack seems a little too calm for someone who has died, then come back to life, while having his entire understanding of reality altered (an atheist believes in Science - if every god is real, then science has a hell of a lot less meaning). Also, Tipora and that random Ursa must be unbelievably aincent to be able to have a conversation on the same intellectual level as a human, considering Grimm are mindless animals, then just animals, then smart animals, then I guess humans, and after a (relatively) short amount of time, Salem. Finally, the whole second life thing seems like either a dick move to people who use logic, or a dick move to people who never wanted to die and because of their faith, will never get to live again. Going with that point, I don't understand why any of that should have happened (as in, why they get a second life, etc).
Otherwise, I'm interested in the premise of this story. I hope it improves.
Answer: This is a long and good review. The capital letters are the pain of autocorrect as in contrast to Of flesh, Metal and Mythical powers which is wrote on PC. The reason for this is that i wrote chapter 1 while I wasn't able to be on PC when i wanted to write. And yeah, I should have noticed that Jack does seem a little too calm. And the reason why i chose to make every god real is that I didn't want to offend anyone by saying that it was Jesus or someone else from a single religion that was real. And about the whole science thing. Most of what science has proved will also be real in this story. Mainly evolution and many other things. And i chose to go with a certain universe idea that I have played with a lot. I wont tell it due to it spoiling a lot of the story. But grimm arent Entirely mindless. In this story, they do have a mind. But it's often single purposed or tunnel visioned. Different type of grimm doesn't really like each other. But they can get along. And lastly. The whole fact about Atheist can't go to heaven or hell or other religion's versions. Because they don't believe in religion. And therefore they don't belong to any diety. The second life was also a part of the 'No religion, no heaven/hell' Thing I chose for the story. It was also to put the whole story into an understandable way. But yes, the story has a lot of flaws and thanks for bringing them up for any future stories I might write. Thanks for the review. I hope you find these answers satisfying
Review: CrowSkull: Funny how in the day that I got most bored and without anything to do I happen to find this story, found it interesting, and it also happens to be you writing it. (Hi, remember me? We talked before.)
Well, what can I say, ah yeah, I like this, I always liked the idea of humans on grimm bodies, don't know why, but definitely interesting when they are small size, makes them cute, I have also thought of doing it myself... well enough of that, aside from that... dude... double check what both of you write, there's a lot of glaring upper case letters AND missing letters, I know my own grammar sometimes is bad too but... it's... hideous.
Well, you fix that and then we might be on a good path here, I'll follow.
Answer: Funny coincidence then. And yeah, I remember we talked. And thanks for liking the story. And as I answered to Bomberguy789's review. Autocorrect is mostly to blame. And my own laziness for not noticing it.
And those were the reviews. Now I have an announcement to make. Today around 7PM GMT. I will livestream Overwatch/titanfall 2 on my youtube channel: Big Pizza Gaming. Its on PS4 so if you have those games, feel free to join up in the livestream. I will also livestream every friday from 7PM GMT to 9:30PM GMT.
