Prologue
In the world of Remenant, all living creatures possess a soul, the physical manifestation of one's soul is known as Aura: a form of innate energy that bestows its user with certain abilities and powers. Unique expressions of these abilities which are specific to individuals are known as Semblances. Remnant is populated by two intelligent species - Humanity and Faunus, a race of Human-animal hybrids.
Legend states that mankind was born from dust into a hostile world, forced to battle for survival against soulless creatures of darkness known as the Grimm. The Creatures of Grimm, or just Grimm, are monsters inhabiting various of Remnant. The Grimm are described as "Creatures of Destruction" that lack a soul; hence, they unable to use Aura. They are also drawn to feeling to negativity - such as Envy, Sadness, Loneliness, Hatred, and Fear - often converging on the source of these emotions. While Grimm are initially mindless and heedless of risk during their youths, leading them to simply attack any humans on sight, some Grimm are so powerful they survived to live for hundreds of years. In that time, they can evolve and learn from their experiences fighting humanity. This leads them to exhibit restraint and patience to avoid taking unnecessary casualties in futile conflicts; Instead, they stay close to humanity's borders, waiting for the opportunity to come where they can finally strike.
"So reports say that there has been an increase in Grimm activity within the forest outside of Argus" said a green-haired Huntsman wielding a gray sniper rifle across his back
"Or so they say, considering we've fallen into a trap before" said a black haired huntsman wielding a pair of black gauntlets
"You may be right Desmond but this came from Pent's family, so I think this one isn't a trap"
"Yeah speaking of that how is Tiesha holding up?" asked Desmond
"She still not talking to anyone"
"Have you tried to talk to her Ed?" Asked Desmond
"I have, all I get is silence, on the outside she may be healthy but inside she is broken" Edward said as he pulled his rifle to his shoulder looking through the scope
Through the scope, Edward saw 12 Beowulfs, 8 Ursa, 3 Deathstalkers and 10 Boarbatusks
"Well? What do you see?" Asked the black-haired huntsman
"Well Flint was indeed right, Grimm activity has Indeed increased, Come on lets Gooooo..." Edward said as both he and Desmond dropped to the ground feeling weak and tired
"E..Ed...what..what's happening" Desmond said weakly
"I..I..D..on't...know...I...feel...so...tired" Edward said as the both of them soon blacked out
My eyes bolt open as I quickly sit up from the bed I was laying on, looking around I find me and Desmond in a makeshift room with a single wooden door inside what looked like the inside of a cave with a Dust powered lamp illuminating some of the room. Jumping towards the door, I rip it open only to come face to face with numerous sets of red eyes before slamming the door shut which woke up my partner
"This is quite problematic" I say as Desmond steps to the door
"Is it guarded?"
"That would be an understatement" I say as Desmond comes up with an idea
"We can handle a few of them" Desmond said
"It won't be that simple Desmond, we aren't being guarded by humans, we're being guarded by Grimm" I explain as Desmond reached for the door
"That's not possible" Desmond said opening the door before closing it
"Be honest with me Edward. What are our chances of getting out of her with at least our lives?" asked my companion
"Since the door is guarded by Grimm my Semblance is useless, and your Semblance is still cooling down from our last mission and without knowing exactly what Grimm we are facing, if I may adopt a phase you are familiar with, then I may say that We're Fucked" I say
"Great..Any idea on what we do?"
"None" I say blankly
After a few moments trying to come up with a plan both me and Desmond jumped at the sound of something hitting the ground. Looking towards the center of the room was a large burlap sack
"What. The. Fuck." Desmond said as I opened the sack
Inside was at least 20 different canned food, 20 bottles of water, 2 spoons and a chessboard
"Huh...Want to play?" Asked Desmond
That confused me considering Desmond had never once shown an interest in playing
"But..You don't play"
"I don't but you do, and considering we don't have anything else to do" replied Desmond
"You do have a point" I say setting up the board and explain how to play to my partner
"So white moves first, correct?" Asked Desmond
"Yes so make your move" I answer
Pawn from E2 to E3
Both me and Desmond Jump at the raspy voice that echoed throughout the room
"Who's there!" yelled Desmond
Pawn from E2 to E3
Looking down to the chessboard I move the pawn from E2 to E3
Your Move
{Video of this will be on the Prologue chapter of The Grimm King on Wattpad}
Sitting down I move my pawn from G2 to G3
"It's your move, now tell us who you are?" I ask
I am something not to be trifled with, Pawn from D2 to D3
Moving the voices piece I move me right Knight to F3
"Why are we Here?" I ask as the mysterious voice asked his Right Bishop in front of his King
You had attempted to harm my Grimm
The voice said as I move my pawn from D2 to D4
"What do you mean Your Grimm?" I asked not believing the voice
Bishop C1 to D2, Yesss my Grimm, I control my Grimm, I protect my Grimm and they Protect me
It was my turn and I move my right Bishop from F1 to H3
"Who are you?" I ask again
Knight to F3
You haven't answered my question who are you?" I repeat not moving the Voices knight
Knight. To. F...3
"Who Are You, You Bastard!" Yelled Desmond
After Desmond's yelling, I begin to hear the sound of something crawling on the ceiling, before hearing the breaking of rock
"Desmond look.." I began only to stop when a large chunk of rock was thrown at Desmond
The rock hit Desmond in the head with enough force it broke through his aura causing a small trail of blood to drip from his head
I will not be spoken to like that in my own place of Dwelling, and I shall not ask you again...Knight...To...F..3
Deciding to stay Quiet I Continue to play the game as the voice takes piece after piece of my black pieces until he corners my King with his White Rook at F3, his Bishop at E7, his Queen at C3 and his pawns at F7, G7, and H5
And that my intellectual opponent is chec...
The raspy voice said before he stopped and began growling
Someone is killing my Grimm. Open the door Huntsman
"You're must be joking, the Grimm will kill me" I argue
My Grimm will not attack you without my say so, however I'll kill you myself if you don't open. that. Door.
Getting up, opened the door to find a massive grim standing right in front of me with his burning red eyes staring right into my soul
Beta..bring me the Huntress, She's a lizard Faunus with black hair, I want her alive take a pack of Apathy with you
Watching the Grimm turn and leave I look towards the ceiling after closing the door
"What are Apathy?" I ask
Apathy is a weak Grimm in terms of speed and strength, but all Grimm have distinctive fighting traits, Beowulfs have their Speed, Boarbatusks have their armored hides, Ursa's have their strenth, Apathy attack in packs. while being one of the weakest Grimm they are by far more dangerous when they hunt in packs, the Apathy has the power to Drain their prey of both their Physical and Mental Strength
"How do you know your Grimm are being killed?" I asked
I see everything my Grimm see, hear what my Grimm hear, and feel what my Grimm feel..they have her
"What are you going to do to her?" I ask
Last the last huntsman before the two of you had killed 2 Grimm, I broke his leg and told him he was free to try to escape he made it out of the first tunnel before he was devoured by the Beowulfs, this Huntress has killed 20 of my Grimm
The door was kicked open by a Beowulf dragging a body by the ankle in its teeth, once the body was dragged into the light my eyes grow wide as I recognize who it was
"Tiesha!" I yell as the Beowulf leaves the room
You and your companion may leave and return to Argus
"What about Tiesha?" I ask trying to get her to wake up
It's pointless when one is completely drained they will remain asleep for three days just like you and the other human, Now leave and never return
"I'm not leaving without Tiesha, nothing you say will ever stop me" I say as the growling intensified
You dare defy me, I have been around for a long time...I watched the fall of your precious Beacon...I've watched my kind slaughter, captured and tortured...I watched as Humans and Faunus went to war...I was around when man first learned how to use weapons and dust...I was there when the first human came to be from the very Crystal's you call dust.
With each pause the raspy voice took I heard the sound of something piercing stone until I saw I white armored claw followed by another, soon the clawed figure crawled into the light, I was struck with fear. It was the size of an Ursa, had the armored hid of a Boarbatusk and the razor feathers of a Nevermore
"What are you?" I ask in fear
The creature removed its legs from the wall as it bent backwards until its feet touched the ground, it's chest glowed red as it straightened itself before looking at me with all 10 of it's glowing red eyes
'I...am...The Grimm King' it said steam coming from his bone covered head
Okay so this is a rewrite of my old RWBY fanfiction Team PEDT I haven't bothered to touch it because I couldn't figure where to go with it
I hope this makes up for it
