AN: Heyo! Void here with another chapter of Dreams of Remnant. Today's chapter should be a bit different as this is the first one with my new writing style. But I hope you like it.
Next up, I finally decided on a theme for Lilith! I had several options for a while now but I wasn't sure but I am now.
It's a Touhou Arrangement Cover called Catch Wind. It's based off of the original song called Wind God Girl.
The cover itself is by a relatively small artist, that I'm a big fan of, called Cephied with the help of Un3h.
I feel kind of dumb because I kept on looking at new songs for themes. I never even considered looking at songs I listen to normally but when Catch Wind came on for the first time in a while, my playlist was on shuffle, I thought it was really good for Lilith.

A question for you all. What do you think of the creature under mountain Glen? I'm always interested to hear your opinions and ideas.
Well that's enough of that, Now it's Time to Dance!
Also, whoever can catch all the references in the chapter gets a cookie (a hint/answer to a question if you want). Enjoy!
Chapter 5 - Dancing Dreams
It was cold, the air was freezing. It was eerily cold, plants were wilting under the chilling temperature. It was strangely cold, and yet, Uni didn't really care about it.
There were many signs telling her that it was cold, that it was deathly cold; but despite all of that she didn't feel all that chilly. Despite wearing only a silken gown, the temperature didn't affect her.
She could see her breath and feel a thin layer of frost on her skin, her nose was runny and she had a red tinge on her nose and ears. All the signs were telling her that she was cold. And yet, she didn't feel cold. Though she definitely didn't feel warm.
She could feel her heartbeat, hear it echoing loudly with each step she took, the air around her getting even colder as she approached a strange fountain.
The black stone was as cracked as the ground around it, seemingly held together by the many vines, all made of glass. A strange luminescent moss coating the stone basin; keeping it from being frozen solid.
Paper flowers, the same silver as Uni's hair, sprouted from the crystal vines as she entered within arms reach of the fountain.
It was so cold that a thick layer of ice began to cling to the ground, frost coating the inside of the fountain. The distant cries of a raven being the only sound in the quiet field.
Despite the strange occurrences, as if in a trance, Uni approached silently. An absent look on her pale face, reddened from the cold temperatures.
She slowly reached out a hand, stretching it towards the fountain. But just before she touched it, a loud ringing noise echoed out.
Stepping back as the cracks lining the stone structure deepened, the ground shaking in unison. A swift blur of black, red, and white coated her vision, freeing Uni from her daze as another massive bell rang out.
The sudden flash of colors combined with the loud noise caused her to stumble forward slightly, allowing her to notice something on the ground in front of her.
Uni frowned ever so slightly as she kneeled towards a statue of a bird. A swallow made of a durable stone, far too detailed to be carved.
It was imprisoned, just like her…
Suddenly, the silver haired girl's frown deepened, wondering where the strange thought had come from. She then shook her head, brushing the thought aside. It wasn't important.
Uni let out a sigh of annoyance as she sat back up, frowning as the fluttering of wings surrounded her. A bittersweet taste flooded her mouth as the raven cried loudly once again. As if it were right next to her, screaming into her ears.
Uni looked around quickly, searching for the bird only to pause when she realized she wasn't where she thought she was. Why wasn't she in her usual dreamscape? How did she get here?
Though she supposed that it didn't matter, she could tell she had control of the dream.
Uni sighed softly; waving her hand to the side causing the dream to shift, back into her usual dreamscape. Back into her home of paper flowers and clouds of gold.
She just couldn't Rest In Peace, could she…
No, not ever…
Uni's black and silver heels clacked against the floor as she approached the ballroom door. Her long silver hair shining under the light as she opened the door.
She could hear a squeal of excitement as she saw Yang gushing over Ruby's outfit. Her hair bouncing behind her with her simple white gown, similar to a sundress, trailing along with her. "You look so beautiful!"
Ruby groaned in annoyance as she adjusted her tight sleeveless red and black dress, stumbling on her scarlet heels. "How in Remnant does Weiss fight in these stupid lady stilts!?"
"She probably has a good balance," Uni pointed out dryly, her black dress glittering under the lights as she approached the two sisters calmly.
"Oh! Hey Uni!" Ruby greeted happily, just noticing her presence. She quickly loosened the red sash that was wrapped around her waist too tightly before slowly walking over, trying not to trip over her heels. "We weren't sure if you would show up."
"Un," The Silver haired girl replied softly, giving Ruby a curt nod in response. "I wasn't but Aunt Glynda said I should…"
The two sisters had tried to get her to come, similarly to how they tried to convince Blake but she simply shrugged them off. She didn't care for the dance all too much. Then Glynda came to her and lectured her about how the dance would be good for her for almost an hour. So, very reluctantly, she decided to go.
"I assume Coco set you up with those clothes? Or at least helped?" Yang asked as she took in Uni's dark outfit with a knowing smirk.
A look of faint surprise appeared on Uni's face. Tilting her head in mild confusion, she asked. "Yes, how did you know?"
The blonde let out a small laugh, "Because, with your taste in fashion, there is no way you picked that out yourself."
"My fashion sense isn't that bad…" The Sleepy Girl began softly. "Is it?"
Ruby giggled slightly as she nodded in response, "To be fair, all you wear is black and silver…" She explained, brushing some hair out of her face. "Even now, you're still wearing mainly black and silver."
Yang nodded as she walked over to the podium. "She's got a point, it's nice to other colors for once, even if it's only a few." The boxer said as she quickly gave herself a once over, making sure her outfit was all right before checking if everything was ready.
Uni frowned slightly, rubbing her ears as the cries of a raven echoed over the sound of Yang testing the microphone. The silver haired girl sighed, ignoring the colors comment.
The sound of music could be heard as Yang called out, "You gals ready to get this party started?"
Ruby chuckled nervously, nodding as she spoke. "Yeah, I guess…" Rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly as she continued to fix her dress.
"Might as well." Uni answered bluntly, not even reacting as Yang rushed over to the door and swung it open.
Let the dance begin…
The ballroom had been completely decked out with party supplies. A thin layer of smoke crawled along the floor while streamers and balloons lined the walls. It was very colorful and bright.
Students were dancing together and enjoying themselves, cracking jokes and having fun. Even some of the teachers were joining in.
Although Professor Port attempting to do the worm was not a pretty sight…
Other than that, it was a rather nice night. Yang took part in a three person dance with Blake, who wore a silky dark purple dress with lots of blue bows, and Sun, who wore a simple suit and tie.
Meanwhile, Uni sat next to Ruby and Weiss at one of the white tables. The three huntresses all had come to the dance with no partner, despite Weiss being confident that she would have one, though she changed her mind a few days before the dance.
While Yang spun away from the two Faunus, her blonde hair spinning behind her. Weiss fiddled with her sleeveless white dress, sighing to herself softly.
"I told you that I could get her to come." Yang said with a smirk as she sat down next to the three teens, satisfaction glowing in her lavender eyes.
"Indeed you did." Weiss said with a small smile, an emotion that Uni couldn't recognize flickering across her pale face.
"Now what?" Uni asked calmly, resting her gloved hands on the table as she let out a soft yawn.
"Just enjoy the party!" Yang called out as she quickly stepped over to the door to let in some late arrivals.
"I feel like that would be difficult for me…" Uni pointed out blandly.
"Well you can at least try," Weiss told her, the same emotion from earlier flickering in her cold blue eyes as she swiftly stepped over to a nearby table and began fixing the flower arrangements.
Uni simply shrugged softly, pausing as she heard Ruby grunt in annoyance. The silver haired girl turned to see her messing with her heels in frustration. "They're not that bad…" She told the reaper in her usual toneless voice.
"What are you talking about?" Ruby said with a groan as she struggled to stand up. "These stupid lady stilts will be the death of me!"
"Are you two not enjoying yourselves?" An older man's voice spoke out from behind them. The two Silver Eyed teens turned to see Ozpin, in his usual green and brown attire, approaching them.
Uni shrugged softly, Ruby letting out a small nervous chuckle in response, quickly returning to a normal posture. "No it's just… Well dances aren't really my thing…" She explained.
"I lived on the streets most of my life, I haven't the simplest clue on how to dance…" Uni added in agreement, the smallest hint of bitterness in her empty silver eyes.
"Well that's fair but you two can't go about your days only knowing how to fight." He said wisely, chuckling softly before he took a sip of cocoa from a thermos that seemed to appear from nowhere.
"Yeah I know, we've been told that many times…" Ruby admitted, twirling a finger through a lock of her hair nervously.
"To be fair I've finally moved on from basic mathematics and I no longer have any trouble reading and writing. It's a rather large change from fighting." Uni said calmly, with what seemed to be an ever so small hint of pride shining in her eyes as she toyed with her locket.
Ruby frowned as she sharply turned towards the silver haired girl. Curiosity and worry evident in her eyes as she looked towards Uni with what looked like sympathy or pity.
"That's good to hear, I'm glad to see you're improving." Ozpin told her with a gentle smile as he turned to the dance floor, watching students and teachers alike enjoy the party. "Though I suppose you could say that dancing is a lot like fighting…"
"Though you can't die while dancing," Ruby added with a cheeky smile before frowning as Oz twirled his cane. "Well I suppose you could…"
The headmaster chuckled once again, his brown eyes twinkled slightly. "I suppose you could…"
"Though in fighting you are, usually, enemies and in dancing you are, usually, close…" Uni pointed out calmly, nodding to herself thoughtfully.
Ozpin hummed thoughtfully, turning back to the dance floor with a wistful look in his eyes. "Indeed, in dancing people come together, similar to nights like this one. Bonds become tested by time, growing stronger. People don't forget these kinds of moments…"
The two teens turned as they heard the rather large main door of the ballroom swing open. Emerald and Mercury stepped into the room as Yang appeared to greet them. Though what was said couldn't be heard over the sound of the music.
And when Uni and Ruby turned around, the headmaster was nowhere to be seen.
"So Uni…" Ruby began slowly, her eyes darting back and forth nervously, afraid of stepping on a delicate subject. "What did you mean by you just moved past basic math and reading?"
Uni paused for a brief moment, letting the question hang in the air as her eyes darkened slightly. "Well I lived on the streets since I was six, I didn't have any form of education until Beacon…"
The tension in the conversation seemed to drown out the music as Ruby let out a soft, "oh…" She hung her head softly, looking almost hurt.
"Most of my lessons with Aunt Glynda have been stuff I should have learned in school." Uni continued softly, fiddling with the silver locket that hung from her neck.
"I-I didn't think a-about that, I'm sorry…" Ruby said quickly, worried about what memories were dragged up.
Uni's distant stare immediately disappeared as she turned towards the reaper with a frown. She stared at Ruby in confusion as she asked, subconsciously tightening her grip on her locket. "What are you apologizing for?"
"B-becau-" Ruby stammered nervously, trying not to worsen the damage that she might've done. However before she could continue she was interrupted by a scraggly blonde.
"Hey guys, you two hiding as well?" Jaune asked as he pulled at his bow tie nervously, slightly uncomfortable with the size of his suit.
"Un," The Silver haired girl answered, giving the tall boy a slight nod in response. "What about you?" She asked, not so subtly steering the conversation away from the previous topic.
Uni wasn't quite sure why but she didn't like dealing with apologies and forgiveness. It was confusing and strange, she just didn't like it.
Jaune nodded as he fiddled with his suit, which seemed just slightly too small. "Yeah I came alone as well, so to the socially awkward?" He asked as he held up a plastic cup filled with the red punch.
Ruby giggled as she clinked her cup against his, also glad to move on from the previous topic. Though she would have to talk about it someday.
"I feel like it's socially inept for me but why not…" Uni said tonelessly as she too raised her cup before they all took a sip.
Both Ruby and Jaune looked towards their cups with a frown. It was sweet. Extremely sweet. Ruby looked towards Uni, who helped make the food and drinks.
"Just how much sugar did you put in this stuff?" Ruby asked, raising an eyebrow as the silver haired girl quickly finished her cup.
"I mixed a fair amount of the sap from Forever Fall into it…" Uni explained as she poured herself another, larger, glass. It was sweet, just how she liked it.
"How can you drink this stuff?" Jaune asked incredulously, looking down at his cup in disgust. "Don't get me wrong I like sugary things as much as the next guy but this is ridiculous!"
Ruby giggled softly as she poured her cup into the trash, "Jaune has a point, it is really sweet…"
"I think it's perfect…" Uni said firmly, a small glint in her otherwise empty eyes as she took another sip of the punch.
The blonde looked towards Uni incredulously, staring for a moment before shrugging and sighing to himself softly. Frowning as he caught Weiss out of the corner of his vision, sadness flickering across his sapphire eyes.
Ruby softened slightly as she noticed his gaze. "Sorry that things didn't work out with Weiss…" She told him, trying to comfort the false huntsman.
"It's okay," He said with a weak smile as he leaned back against the wall. He brushed his golden hair to the side as he watched the heiress from afar. "Neptune is pretty cool, I understand why she went with him."
The two huntresses frowned, looking towards Jaune in confusion. Ruby stumbled slightly as she stepped forward, "What do you mean?" She asked.
Jaune shrugged as he tapped his foot to the beat of the music, which was beginning to pick up. "I mean, who else in this school can pull off blue hair?"
"I feel like you are misunderstanding…" Uni explained, playing with a lock of her silver hair as she looked on blankly. "Weiss came alone…"
Jaune practically fell onto the ground in shock, brushing himself off as he quickly sat up and turned towards the Silver Eyed teens. "Wha- Huh?" He stammered, his confusion apparent on his face.
"Yeah, Weiss said she had too much going on." Ruby explained softly, concerned about Jaune's reaction. "She didn't want to worry about boys and all that stuff…"
Uni pointed her pale hand towards Weiss. The heiress was fixing a flower vase on a nearby table, delicately lifting up the drooping flower bulbs.
"She's been too distracted about the dance to go with anyone." She said monotonously, staring into the distance as she took another sip of the punch.
Jaune frowned, narrowing his eyes as he saw a Neptune socializing with Blake and Sun at the other end of the ballroom. He could faintly hear laughter from the two faunus as Neptune made strange faces while messing with his dark blue tuxedo.
The blonde boy scowled, clenching his fist tightly. "I'll be back soon…" Jaune muttered through gritted teeth. He rolled up his sleeves slightly as he stomped over to the blue haired boy, as if he was preparing for a fight. Although knowing the teen, that was unlikely.
As he began to approach the blue haired boy he paused and turned. Noticing Pyrrha march across the ballroom in a sparkling red dress. His eyes wide in awe as he took in her beauty.
He glanced towards Neptune one more time, sighing as he walked towards Pyrrha.
Tonight was going to be… Interesting…
Uni's passive silver eyes wandered the ballroom curiously. Watching the time go buy as she sat quietly. It was… Rather calming.
Ruby and Yang were chatting quietly on the other side of the hall while the others were all dancing together cheerfully. She even saw Penny doing the Robot with some Atlesian soldiers in the corner of the room.
Everyone seemed, Happy…
She fiddled with her cold silver locket as she watched emptily. A strange, weak and distant sense of… wanting? Loneliness? She wasn't quite sure, welled up inside her.
As a raven's cry echoed through her mind, her passive look shifting to a frown. Mildly annoyed at the non existent bird.
No matter what she did the albino avian wouldn't leave her be. It was beginning to get annoying. Or at least, as annoying as it could be for her.
Was this what her life had come to? Whining about hearing birds in her head? Uni sighed to herself softly in exasperation.
However her mental complaints were quickly interrupted by an eruption of laughter. She turned to see a rather… Peculiar sight.
Jaune, The frail blonde huntsman, was wearing a dress…
She was so going to record this. It wasn't the best blackmail material, but it was material nonetheless. And one of the things that she learned from the streets was that you should never, ever, let go of blackmail material. Regardless of who it's on or how good it is.
A strange glint appeared in her eyes as she pulled out her scroll, the glimmer was similar to the one she had when drinking the punch, as she filmed Jaune in his dress.
"You never know when blackmail will come in handy…" She muttered softly, unaware of why the idea of recording Jaune seemed so, amusing?
The scraggly blonde was in a slim strapless white dress that was clearly too small for him. He stumbled on white heels as he made his way across the hall with a cheeky, yet slightly embarrassed, grin.
He stepped towards Pyrrha, who quickly turned around. Her ponytail spinning behind her as her eyes widened incredulously. "Jaune!?" She asked, trying not to laugh with the rest of the crowd.
"If there's one good thing about me, it's that I never go back on my word…" He told her, a massive grin spreading across his face.
Pyrrha smiled brightly, giggling slightly as she looked her leader up and down. Unable to hold it in, she burst out laughing. Wiping a tear aside as she gasped through her laughter.
"Jaune, this wasn't necessary…" She said with a soft, genuine, smile growing across her face. Pyrrha hadn't felt so happy in a long Time. Sure she had felt joy and sadness, but she hadn't laughed that hard since she was a little girl.
"Hey," He began, his sapphire eyes glinting brightly. "I wouldn't be an Arc if I didn't follow things through…"
He then kneeled slightly, courteously extending his hand towards Pyrrha. Softly, he asked, "May I have this dance?"
"That would be lovely." She answered as she accepted his hand with a smile. Quickly being pulled into Jaune's arms as a new song began to play.
While everyone looked around with confused eyes, Nora turned to Ren with a crazed grin.
She began to jump up and down excitedly, her pink dress fluttering behind her. "This! Is! Amazing!" She squealed as she quickly pulled the silent teen onto the dance floor.
Ren simply sighed in response, a thin smile on his passive face as they began a four person dance, the crowd cheering them on as they performed.
Kickstep, Kickstep, Body Roll. A slightly difficult dance at their pace but it wasn't rocket science. What was really impressive was how in sync they were.
The silver haired girl sighed softly as she watched from afar, scroll in hand as she recorded the dance. She wasn't sure she would ever understand how or why they acted the way they did.
They laughed and smiled, and people danced together. .
Despite social anxiety, appearances and pasts, everyone was having a good time…
Even Cardin and his team, who had all turned over a new leaf since their trip to Forever Fall, were being talked to.
Everyone accepted each other, flaws and all…
People were just so… Bizzare. But, maybe, just maybe, that was what made them Human…
Lilith's slightly curly ebony hair waved behind her as the fierce winds blew past her. Her crimson eyes were filled with a mix of worry and glee as she flew across the night sky.
While she was happy to be soaring through the air, she was still worried about the caged creature in the caves beneath Mountain Glen.
With little to no knowledge on what it was, there wasn't anything she could do, and frankly, that frightened her. At least she gave Uni a warning of some sort…
It was all she could do at the moment, until she can get her father back on the straight and narrow that is.
The Lights coming from the academy beneath her shined into the sky, briefly distracting her from her thoughts. The loud music coming from below implied that there was some sort of party going on.
While she was intrigued about it, as well as excited about getting a closer view of Beacon Academy; she wasn't exactly happy to be working with Cinder.
As she dove down slightly, getting a closer look at the place, a red blur caught her eye. It was a girl, heading towards the direction of Cinder.
Lilith sighed as she brushed aside her hair, tapping on her ear piece. "Hey Cinder, you have someone on your tail."
After a brief moment of static Cinder's voice responded sharply. "Who?"
Lilith, even with her enhanced eyesight couldn't make out a face but with the clothes the person was wearing, it was pretty easy to tell they were from the dance.
"I can't tell, looks like a party member, based on their speed I'd say they have a semblance or a weapon that increases their mobility somehow." The winged girl answered quickly, not wanting to test Cinder's patience.
"Useless…" Cinder replied sharply, causing Lilith to flinch slightly as the radio quickly fell silent.
She sighed slightly, staring off into the clear night sky. Her bright red eyes gazing longingly for something forever out of reach.
For something she had lost a long time ago…
Dreams are very peculiar…
That was what Uni had come to, as she stood alone in the corner of the large music filled hall. She had let her thoughts wander, which always led her to a single image.
An Albino Raven.
Ever since that Dream she couldn't get it out of her head. So that meant her subconscious had deemed it important. But why?
Why…
That question, it was always there. Not that it was unusual, asking Why is a very normal thing. So why did it make her feel so… strange?
The silver haired girl sighed as she took another sip of her cup, only to discover it was empty. Frowning slightly, she turned to the punch bowl.
Luckily it still had plenty in it as very few people were willing to drink it.
Once again Uni sighed, shrugging as she approached the punch bowl. Staring at her ornate locket as she fiddled with it.
The sleepy girl let out a small grunt as she fell onto the ground. She had walked into someone, which was reasonable as she wasn't paying attention.
A large gloved hand was reached out towards her, offering to help her up. Most likely belonging to whomever bumped into her.
"Sorry, I should have been paying more attention." A man's deep voice said calmly, in a very formal tone. A large white military coat hanging in front of her.
Uni nodded as she accepted the hand, surprised at the man's strength as she was quickly pulled up.
She quickly fixed her silver hair as she turned towards the man. Her eyes widened briefly as she recognized the man's face. His formal suit and militaristic stance made it obvious. She had walked into General James Ironwood.
"It's fine sir, I wasn't paying attention either…" She said expressionlessly, if a tad quickly. Uni wasn't much for formalities, but she knew not to risk angering someone in power.
Ironwood let out a soft chuckle, waving it aside. "It's fine, there's no need for formalities at a school dance." He said with a small smile as he looked towards Uni, a brief moment of recognition and surprise in his navy blue eyes. "It's Miss Moon, correct?" He asked.
Uni nodded blankly, tilting her head slightly. "Indeed, Though I must ask, since I'm fairly certain we haven't met, how do you know me?"
"Well for starters, I knew your father," He said with a soft, weak, smile as he reminisced on old memories. Memories of a much happier time.
He sighed softly before quickly returning to his confident and formal posture. "Glynda was just telling me about you, It's nice to meet you."
Uni nodded, still holding a formal stance. "You too," She said emptily, as she continued to toy with her locket. "It would seem my parents had friends in high places…"
Much to her surprise, a smile appeared on Ironwood's face as he chuckled loudly. "That's an understatement, all of Team Silver had friends in high places…" He went on, slowing down as memories flooded back. The happy ones and painful ones.
"I'm not surprised." Uni told him truthfully, causing him to chuckle even more, much to her confusion.
Why was he laughing? She was just being truthful, she wasn't surprised. After all, how could she be? She literally couldn't be surprised, or well… anything.
"So ho-" Ironwood began, only to pause as his scroll buzzed loudly from his coat pocket. He quickly pulled it out, frowning slightly as he read the notification.
He paused once again, scowling as his eyes hardened. He looked towards the CCT tower through the window before swiftly turning back to Uni.
"I'm sorry but important business has come up, I'm afraid I must go." He said quickly, in an almost sharp tone. "It was nice meeting you."
Uni nodded slowly, a curious look on her face as she watched the General rush out of the ballroom, his dark blue cape fluttering behind him.
Just what could be so important for General Ironwood himself to run out of the Ball? Granted it was a very small event so him leaving wasn't a big deal but stil…
Her silver eyes darkened slightly as her gaze wandered towards the CCT tower, a small frown appearing on her face. Something wasn't right, she would have to ask about it with Aunt Glynda sometime soon.
Luckily the dance was almost over, she could get some rest soon. Until then, she would just have to wait.
Her crimson eyes glowed happily, a small smile on her face as she flew higher and higher. Spinning throughout the air peacefully.
Flying made Lilith feel free. Away from the constant deceit and pain of life, she could soar and listen to the whispers of the wind.
It allowed her to forget her worries. Ignore the endless passage of time and live her life. That's why she loved it so much.
It was an escape, one that allowed her to be away from the people that walked below her.
Away from the constant storm of emotions that was life. Far away from any emotions, the good and the bad.
Emotions. Such a fickle thing. They seem to control every decision that you make. They get set off by the smallest things, and get mixed up in others.
Emotions. Why was the extension of her soul emotions? Was it because she was emotional? Or was it because she was naturally in tune with other people.
Or was it because she was good at manipulating emotions. And in turn, people…
Uni was exhausted, despite having sat alone for most of the ball. The party was finally over, though Yang was still upset that Ruby was nowhere to be found.
With strange emotions lingering in the deepest corners of her mind, Uni wasn't sure of what to do. So she would do whatever she would do when she was lost, she would sleep.
The silver haired girl yawned softly as she opened the door to her room, slowly walking towards her bed without bothering to change out of her dress.
But before she collapsed into the pile of pillows that she called her home, she paused. Turning drowsily towards the letter that sat upon her desk.
She should probably read it…
Uni sighed in resignation as she grabbed the letter, yawning slightly as she carefully opened the paper.
A thin frown appeared on her face as she read the short note. A faded sliver of concern and confusion appeared in her normally empty eyes.
"Dear, Uni."
"I'm very sorry for not talking to you in person but It's kind of important that this is kept secret. I could get both of us mixed up in serious things if too much got out."
"As you know, My father has strict views and I think he's taking things too far, he believes that the ends justify the means. Normally he doesn't go super far but I think it's getting serious."
"I want to help him back into the right path but I can't do it, not yet at least. I may even need some help in the future. But with what he's doing now… it's not good."
"They've started capturing and caging Grimm. They are keeping them for something, they won't tell me what, and they've found something weird. It's horrifying, I've never seen anything like it."
"It's this really creepy Grimm, it seems strong and no one that I've asked knows what it is. I think they're going to use it somehow."
"I don't know much but I can tell you that they are planning something big, and the Grimm is a part of it."
"I thought you should know as you are unaware of everything, this could be important. I know that you are clueless about what you are doing, but you need to pay attention."
"I want to tell you more but I'm already risking a lot with this letter. I'm sorry I can't tell you more."
"Sincerely, Lilith."
Uni's frown deepened slightly as the reality of what she had read sunk in, hitting her like a truck.
She tightened her fist around her locket as she stared out the window, gazing at the stars before turning to the letter once more.
Capturing Grimm, and an Unknown species no less…
Just what in the world was going on? What was she unaware of?
AN: Did you guys enjoy the chapter? I'm still new to this style so it needs some work but is the style better? I like it but I can still tell that it needs to be adjusted somewhat.
Besides that, what did you guys think about the chapter itself? I'm not sure how well I wrote Ironwood. I plan for him to be slightly different than in canon because of past events but I'm still unsure.
Besides that I'm actually very excited because I got my first job as a Beta! I've mentioned him before but I'm being a Beta for a friend of mine, Lorenzo the Maelstrom, on his fic Team SLFR (Sulphur). It's really good and I recommend checking it out.
But before I go on a rant about good fanfics I'll stop myself there. I'm also happy to have a super interactive reader. His/Her reviews are usually helpful or fun to read.
Don't forget there is a Poll for the pairings if you want to check it out. All votes are appreciated.
That's all for now, hope you guys are having a great time!
Void Out!
