Okay guys, so I appreciate the feedback and reviews, but please if you have a prediction for how you think the story is going to go, please don't post it as a review, because sometimes you guys actually get it right, and then that review is just a BIG SPOILER. Now luckily I deleted most of the ones that were obvious spoilers due to some of htem being anonymous reviews, and one of them was something I was revealing soon anyways, so I'm not too disappointed.

I do appreciate your kind words though.

Yang, Blake and the rest of her team were currently in the room. Yang was feeling much better now, although she would admit, she would occassionally feel phantom pains in her arm, she didn't understand why, but it was kind of freaky. They were watching the news, apparently whoever orchestrated the attack on Beacon had failed miserably. The school was still standing, while there was plenty of negative energy from the news footage to attract Grimm, that was the only issue. But the white fang hadn't succeeded in their plans, and most of the Atlesian Knights had been destroyed before they could wreak too much havoc.

Blake knew what the cause of it was, she saw the damage her Uncle could do, and to find out that he had probably decimated a good chunk of the White Fang's forces both relieved her and scared the shit out of her. Her Uncle never trained as a huntsman, but the sheer brutality in which he fought and which he had no fear of dying, it was something that couldn't be matched, especially with that freaky semblance of his that she still couldn't understand. She hadn't seen as much of her Uncle the past few days, while he was still around, she didn't know what to do. She wanted to talk to him, but she was a little scared to. But then again,he had hugged her in the middle of a battle, so it couldn't be that bad. But then again, what if he got angry and decided she needed a bit of pain in her life.

She didn't know what was going through her head, but one thing was sure, she was still glad to see him, but she just didn't know how to talk to him.

"How is JNPR?"

"Alive, apparently Blake's uncle saved Pyrrha at the last minute." Ruby hadn't met Brynjar left, but apparently he was a very impressive individual.

"Dang, seems like he saved a lot of people." Yang said.

"Trust me, that was not his intention." Blake knew what he was there for.

"Still though, how is Pyrrha overall? Is she recovered?"

"Well, she's healing, its slow, but its working, she's more nervous about the kiss she shared with Jaune." At this Yang snapped to attention.

"THEY FINALLY KISSED?! AND I MISSED IT!" She yelled as Ruby looked at her.

"Wait, you knew about them?" Yang and the rest of the team just looked at her sister.

"You're joking right Rubes? You never saw how Pyrrha was constantly looking at Jaune like he was a snack?"

"….I just thought they were really good friends?"

"What about the fact she would constantly use excuses to be closer to him?"

"I just thought she really liked hugs?" Nobody could believe Ruby was that dense.

Yang giggled a bit, it was good to see that despite all the bad shit that had just happened, some things hadn't changed. She looked over at Blake who seemed lost in thought. Yang knew what she was thinking about. But she didn't know how she could talk it over with Blake. She was obviously worried about how to approach her Uncle. But he obviously still cared about her. So what was the problem? It couldn't be that bad.

"So, I am curious to meet this Uncle Brynjar." Weiss had to admit, she really wanted to see what he was like in real life.

A human who lived amongst the faunus for so long? Well at least until they ran him out, it made her curious as to what kind of person he was. He must have been quite the character.

"Same! I heard he's eight feet tall!" Ruby said as Blake looked at him.

"That's an exaggeration, who told you that?"

"Well, Coco, she ran into him in the hosptial wing, she said something about him being at least 8 inches long, but I think she was confused, because she must have meant 8 feet." Ruby said as everyone just deadpanned at her.

"Ruby…stay innocent forever." Yang said as everyone else agreed.

KNOCK KNOCK

They saw a large figure outside the door as Blake realized it must have been him.

"Come in." She said as the doorknob turned.

And well, needless to say, most of the girls who didn't know who he was suddenly felt very VERY intimidated. Specifically Ruby and Weiss who realized they were the smallest ones there, and this guy towered over both of them like a grizzly among cats. Yang had already seen him, so she wasn't too worried, and Blake wasn't worried because she grew up around him.

Weiss had seen physically imposing people before, Yatsuhashi was a tower of a man, but she actually saw that Brynjar had some height on him, easily making him one of the biggest people she had ever seen. The fact that he was also dressed like a barbarian was not helping his case. Ruby on the other hand was looking at him with some fear, but also looking over his weapons. Jaune's weapons were old and a classic, but Brynjar's looked positively ancient. How the hell did he get this far with such simple weapons, especially considering he was logging his shield around on his back instead of it collapsing down into a sheath like Jaunes. He either didn't care or was too cheap to buy new weapons. She was going to assume it was the former.

"So…..this is your team." He said as he got more information out of her.

He knew that she had left the white fang, and for that he was happy, But to hear she volunteered to go to Beacon and was placed on a team, that was not something he would have expected. Especially considering when he last saw her, she seemed to show no tolerance for humans.

"Yes." She didn't know what else to say.

"Very nice." He said as he sat down in a chair next to Ruby.

"Good to see you left the fang." He said as he pulled out a flask full of mead.

"Well, they were going in the wrong direction."

"Girl, they were always going in the wrong direction." He said as he took a swig.

Okay, so avoid talking about the white fang, and especially avoid talking about Sienna, she had the feeling that woul not make him happy at the current moment. So, she couldn't talk about the white fang, she also couldn't talk about Sienna, but at the same time she couldn't ask him about his life on Menagerie because he left that life behind. So, what did they have to talk about?

"I see you have your own weapon now." He held out his hand as she handed it over.

Her weapon seemed so small when he held it. But she knew that was just because it was made for someone her size, but overall, he looked like he was just holding a small knife whereas to her it was a full size sword.

"Impressive." He said as he looked over everything.

"But far too complex." Brynjar never saw the appeal behind shifting weapons.

He liked to get in close to his enemy, and in that case, he only really needed his basic loadout. He would admit, he did like how the bow and arrow had evolved into guns in this world, but he still preferred his own methods of combat. You can't earn a ticket to Valhalla if you killed a man from miles away with a sniper rifle, he needed to be in the heat of combat. He handed her weapon back as he leaned back in the seat.

"So Uncle, what are you going to do now?" She asked as he took a deep breath.

"Well, I had two goals, find you, and Kill Sienna." Everyone went wide eyed at that.

Sure everyone knew he was on a revenge quest, but to hear him talk about it so plainly was not something they expected to hear, especially to Ruby's innocent ears, she didn't want to hear that. But at the same time, she wasn't going to argue with a man who was able to beat Cinder.

That was another thing, when she was saving Pyrrha from the tower, she never bothered to look up to see who had started to fight Cinder, all she knew was she had to get Pyrrha out of there. So learning that the one who saved Pyrrha was in fact Blake's uncle, it was a surprise, meeting said Uncle right now and realizing what kind of person he was, well she only hoped he had a good side as well.

"But what now?"

"Well, I suppose I'll rest and recuperate, I completed one goal, so I think its time you and I have time to catch up." He said as she nodded.

"You're not angry with me?"

"Oh I was, don't think I wasn't." He said as Blake's ears drooped a bit.

"But, you were a child, a stupid child who followed a stupid woman, I can't blame you for that, and you left when you realized what was going on and you matured enough to realize what you were doing, so again, I can't be angry, that being said." He flicked her on the nose.

"It was still a stupid decision." He said as he crossed his arms as she rubbed her nose.

"I'm not a dog…." She said kinda mad he used that doggy discipline trick on her.

"You're lucky that's all I'm doing." He said as he let a small smile work its way onto his face.

"So, where to now?" Yang asked as Blake went silent.

"Well, I promised Mom and Dad I would bring Brynjar back home." At this her Uncle raised an eyebrow.

"I thought I made it clear to Ghira I was not welcome there anymore?"

"That was a long time ago Uncle."

"People don't easily forget child."

"I read the reports, what you did was in self defense."

"That doesn't matter, I would rather not have to deal with that idiocy again." He said as Blake looked at him.

"Please, you said it yourself you need some time to relax and recuperate, what better way than at your old great hall, with a roaring fire, meat fresh off the bone, and fine brewed mead." Blake knew this would appeal to him.

"Girl, don't even try it."

"Mom learned how to roast the hogs just right."

"GIRL."

"And Dad has been experimenting with new types of mead, finding ways to add the tastes of berries into the honey." Everyone was watching Blake now.

"Okay, I don't know about the mead,but the roast hog sounds good." Yang said as anything sounded better than Cafeteria food at beacon.

"It will take more than meat and drink to get me to go back there."

"…..Father has a nature reserve for hunting established, didn't you say you wanted to celebrate the wild hunt with the gods?" At this Brynjar went silent.

"…..The wild hunt you say?" Blake smirked.

She got him.

With Bjorn and Eira

"This tent stinks!" Eira said as it was too small, they had to huddle together, and it barely did anything to keep out the rain.

"Its only for another day sis, then we can get on the boat to Menagerie." He said as they opened up a can of smoked ham.

The provisions they bought had to be food that didn't need to be cooked, this meant a lot of pre cooked canned meats, some canned vegetables, and and some fruits. Overall, not the healthiest of meals, but they didn't need a lot of food because they were literally just camping in the woods.

Then again.

"CAW CAW!" Bjorn's ravens made sure they got their fair share of meat.

And Eira's cats of course needed their fish.

So overall, two children and four pets sharing food, it meant they couldn't afford to waste anything.

"Bjorn….I'm worried for you." Eira said as she looked at her brother.

"Why?"

"Well, we're going to Menagerie…"

"And?"

"Well, you're a human." She said as Bjorn groaned.

"We've been over this, I'm a faunus, its just mom said some traits don't show up until later, like fur or whiskers."

"Bjorn, even so, you LOOK human, we don't know how they will react to you."

"I'm just a kid Eira, what sort of people would be afraid of a child." He said as his sister looked down.

"Its just….this is our first time on our own, we don't know what's going on, we don't know where Mommy went, for the first time in my life, we're out doing something scary and new, and I don't like it, and I just can't stop worrying about us…" She said as she was scared of this life.

They never knew discomfort, their mother made sure they were comfortable, they never knew pain, their mother was protective and always kissed their wounds to make them feel better, they never knew hunger, mother would always make sure they were well fed. THIS was the first time they were on their own alone in the dark, having to take care of themselves. And Eira was scared, she didn't know what to expect. She knew Bjorn had to be scared as well right?

"I just don't understand how you can be so calm about this?"

"Well, in truth, I'm scared too sis, but, you may call me crazy, but for some reason I also feel excited." At this she was surprised.

"How could you be excited?"

"Well, for so long I wanted to be out of that room, it was the same thing every day, I didn't hate it, but I always fealt I was meant to be more of a wanderer finding his his way through the world, and even being here, in this forest, it feels right. I'm as scared as you, but I'm not going to let that make me too scared of what could happen. " He tried to word it as best as he could.

"Still, when mom comes back, she'll be worried sick."

"And when that happens, I'm sure she'll find us, but right now, lets focus on getting to Menagerie." He said as she smiled.

"Do you think Daddy will be excited to see us?"

"Well, first we got to introduce ourselves, and hopefully he believes us and him and Mommy can finally get back together."

"Sounds like a plan." Eira felt at ease at her brothers positive outlook.

Granted, there was still one question in the back of her mind.

"How come Daddy looks human?"

"Remember? Mommy said certain traits like Fur on certain parts of the body pass for regular body hair on humans, he probably just has a trait we can't see in the photo." He said as both kids went to sleep.
