Continent of Anima

Jaune Arc's perspective

I began running, I have no idea where she could be but I will not stop until I find her, however long that may take.

So I continued my journey, treking through all known sorts of territory. From freezing tundras to burning deserts I kept searching. Every kingdom I found was as empty as before, adding more fuel to the fire of my vengence. This would soon be rewarded as I finally tracked down my prey.

Three months later

Every day was the same, wake up, track her, slaughter grimm, eat, sleep, and repeat. It was quite torturous and agravating to discover that my kingdom was not the only area that was affected. Every castle, every village, and every home, empty. I had resently found tracks showing a direct proceding from the older brother's shrine and it had given me the lead I needed to finally find that bitch and make her eternal life hell.

I find myself nearing the edge of prospurous lands and getting closer to gates of chaos and darkness. I soon find myself at a cliff overlooking a small ravine that is just at the border of the two territories, the best place to enact an ambush. I just have to wait now as the sun was beginning to set an darkness replaced the orange of the sky. I didn't let the darkness impede me as I began setting a miriade of traps throughout the ravine to catch her. When I was finished it looked less like a ravine and more like a kill pit. Now all I had to do was wait.

Unknown time later

My attention was soon diverted from the ravine to the dark side of the world. An area of corruption and evil, bred and created in the younger brother's image.

My musings were soon cut short as I hear the sounds of footsteps in the ravine. I look down to find Salem running through the darkness setting off any trap she gets close to. I spring into action and using my semblance I kick a large boulder into the exit of the ravine, trapping Salem as I run down to the other side. I bring my blade up as I decend down into the ravine, intent on my revenge.

Salem's face edged with surprise as a hit the ground where she lay but a minute before, with my sword stabbing right where her head would be. "How, I thought I was the only one left ?" she asks surprised and scared. Instead of anwsering I charge forward, my aura being pumped into my legs rapidly, and I grab her by the throat before throwing her into the Ravine wall.

"Wait, stop, I'm not your enemy, why are you doing this ?" she asked, choking out each response as my hand tightened over her neck. "You know exactly why I'm doing this" I say, intense bloodlust in each word. Her eyes shift to fear as she soon realises who I am.

"But I didn't do it, the gods did, they did this" she cried out as I began to bash her harder and harder into the ravine wall. "Thats where you wrong, I know how you gained immortality, why you told us to attack the gods, and I know that you caused all this death yourself" I answer. "What, why, why would a knight like yourself take all this trouble into persuing me an false alligations" she demanded, fear still previlent in her eyes.

"Because" I say, in a cold agrovated voice. "Because why ?" she begins to beg. "Because you took everything from me. My life, My kingdom, my people, and my family. You took all that from me and now you must face punishment" I say as I bring the tip of my blade to her jugular.

No one's perspective

Before the blade could make a cut into her neck, Salem used fire magic to get Jaune to let go of her before firing a it at full blast towards him. He soon backs away before preparing for another assault, charging more aura into his legs, while Salem's eyes begin to glow and magic covers her entire body, as many elements begin to form rings around her as defence.

Jaune Arc's perspective

I quickly begin charging more aura into my legs to enact my backup plan, as the witch begins to use all her magic as a way to keep me away from her.

I soon charge forward with a mighty roar as kinetic energy is discharged from my legs and my blade is once more coveres in a flaming white aura.

The witch charges forward as well, massive charges of various magic types being thrown my way as I barrel through it all to get my target. I swing my blade putting every last bit of absorbed energy into it before discharging it at point blank range.

This catchs the witch off guard as she wasn't expecting that much forse from a simple attack, but she recovers and lifts several of the boulders within the ravine before throwing them at me with magic.

My white flames of aura begin to darken, changing from pure white to pitch black as all the magic in the area dissapates completely, leaving the witch in awe as her only way of attack has been cut off.

I tackle her to the ground and begin to unload a series of brutal punches as the guantlets tear into her aura but doing nothing in the end.

She kicks me off before fleeing from my wrath and speaking into the night "I have lost everything as well, so if you want me dead then I'll do it myself". I was incapable of hearing this as I screamed into the night sky with pure rage "SALEMMM !!!".

I continued to wander, continiued to look for her. But when I found her again, she was different. She had thought that the pure chaotic destruction within the younger brother's pool could kill her, it didn't, she was corrupted by darkness and I was on a new journey, one to find a way to kill her.

My journey, however, was soon sidetracked. As a remnant of what was once humanity spawned from the dust of the past. I myself had no idea where they came from, but they were there. Kingdoms were built and destroyed. Faunus, once seen as equals and great allies, were now being caged like actual animals.

I watched and waited as times change, populations grow, and grimm attack.

I took a small break from my journey to rebuild the Arc clan, I married a kind woman and had several children, however, when she discovered my immortality she drove me away in fear of our children. I accepted this. But on two conditions, she her children and all there decendants are to keep the Arc's name. And that the clan keep Draco Dente. Though they soon melted and reforged Draco Dente into a sword and shield known as Cocrea Mors, I should have been angry, but I soon got over it and gained a new blade, one just as good.

I soon watched as many legends began to form throughout Remnant. Warriors of silver eyes leading battles against grimm. Four Maidens gaining the abilities of magic. Relics of old appearing and beging hidden away.

I watched all this and a thought occured, the witch will use these. I began to keep track of the silver eyed warriors. I met each reincarnation of the maidens, and assigned them the guard each relic. Soon other groups followed my lead and worked to cover up the knowledge of the legends. As technology became the crutch that magic once filled. Semblances and aura, once only used by the most elite and noble, now being used by every and all that fight the grimm.I have watched all this and shall continue to watch this. I modernized, armed myseld with modern toys, let my training continue, but I never stopped searching, searching for a way to kill the witch, then take my own life.

That is a wrap for the prologue trilogy, hope you enjoyed it.
