It was a dark and cloudy day, the sky was a darkish red and black. A huntsman walked the ruins, he wore a greyish-white and worn-out cloak, a gift from a dear friend, the cloak was worn over white and yellow armor which underneath it he wore a black turtle neck jacket, his hair was long with it being pulled into a ponytail, and he had a stuble covering his face and strapped to his side was a sword. This was Jaune Miles Arc, of the Heroes of Remnant. Currently, he was in the Grimm Lands, close to Salems Castle, why you may ask? Well, due to Salem's death, some of her faction is still out there and are trying to harness the power of the brothers and the relics, Salem had other "relics" of the time when the brothers were around.

Jaune was sent by the new Inner Circle, which consisted of Headmistress Glynda Goodwitch, Vice-headmaster Oscar Pines, Professor Ruby Rose, Council Women Weiss Schnee, Chieftainess Blake Belladonna, Substitute-Professor Yang Xiao-Long, General Winter Schnee, Headmaster Flynt Coal, Vice-Headmistress Penny Polendina, Headmaster Sun Wukong, and Headmistress Nebula Violette.

Nora and Ren had enough fighting and went back to Mistral, re-build Kuro Yuri, and started an orphanage there. Qrow had retired within Atlas, now married to Robyn hill, who had also retired and left the Happy Huntresses to Fiona Thyme, who Jaune had met up with when he needed information. Jaune had essentially taken the position Qrow once had when he was part of the circle.

Anyway, When Sun had informed that they had found a tablet within some of the old ruins in Mistral, and it was found out to be a map that leads to something within the Grimmlands, and on the tablet were also some words, and thanks to Oscar still having Ozpins Memories and Ozpin's old secrets, they had so far only translated two words, "Mother" and "Snake". Jaune was sent to look into it, him having a picture of the tablet's map which, surprisingly enough, lead to Salem's old castle, which was now abandoned.

Jaune walked into the castle and saw how it had aged, the dust had covered every inch of the place, however, he had discovered that there were other floors of the castle, but the tablet seemed to lead under the castle, so Jaune followed it. He had found that Grimm still stay clear of the castle, which was odd to him, Salem was dead and so the Grimm had nothing to fear, but yet they still refused to come in the castle. Jaune had passed the other floors until finally, he seemed to make it to the bottom.

Once there, he had seen what he had only been told about by Ruby and the others. It was the pool of the Dark Brother, it was black and tar-like, it bubbled a little, Jaune stay cleared of the pool, but then he noticed something, behind the pool was a tunnel, build into the mountain, Jaune open his scroll and looked at the map one again he noticed that it indeed lead into the tunnel. Jaune noticed that the tunnel wasn't lit, which seemed strange to him because most of the castle, despite being abandoned, was lit. So Jaune turned on his scroll's flashlight and began to walk right into the tunnel. Jaune kept walking and noticed that the tunnel began to go slowly down, as Jaune made the slow descent, he began to feel uneasy. Something about the tunnel wasn't right, it became odder when Jaune began to feel a slight breeze within the tunnel, which couldn't be possible, but what was even weirder was that the breeze would pick up and then die down like it was breathing. Jaune didn't know what was going on but it began to freak him out, something unnatural was in this tunnel, something that even the Grimm began stayed away from, something ancient lied within this tunnel.

Jaune had finally reached the end of the Tunnel only to be met with an odd scene. At the end of the tunnel was a alter that resembled two hands, the left made of black and purplish stone while the right seemed to be made out of pure gold, the hands were cupped in the shape of a "U" and seemed to hold something in between them. As Jaune approached it, he got a better look at what the hands were holding, it was a chalice made of wood, on it it had a carving of a snake going up and around the cup, It was odd indeed, and while Jaune was told to bring back what he found, he was uneasy, no, he was scared just to grab it. It might have been just a chalice but something wasn't right, but eventually, he steeled his nerves and grabbed, once he did he noticed that there was liquid within it, once again it was strange.

"Drink..."

Jaune quickly turned around to where the voice had come from, "Who's there!?" Jaune cried out

"Drink... my champion..."

Jaune was about to drop the chalice and unsheathed his sword, but he couldn't, both his hands were still holding the chalice, and Jaune couldn't let go of it

"Drink... and become my messenger... my warrior... my champion"

The voice was... Hypnotic, and it almost sounded sweet and caring, like that of a mother. Jaune's mind began to go blank, he looked to the chalice and saw the liquid within it become Magenta and without hesitation, Jaune put his lips to the Chalice and took a sip of the liquid, he moved the cup away from his lips as he swallowed the liquid, it tasted sweet and fuzzy, like green apple soda almost. The taste was all that lingered as Jaune's eyes became heavy and his head became hazy, Jaune's vision began to blur and he saw the figure of a woman approach him and he then felt something press against his lips

"A kiss for my new champion"

It was the last thing before the world went black...
