Summer Pov:
After packing up my stuff I started to leave and head towards the nearest bullhead station. The walk was pretty nice and beautiful. Though I didn't know the art style would be like this. I did kind of expect this to be kind of like real life.
I kept thinking about the scenery and art style of rwby. But the time I snapped out of my thoughts I was already in mistral.
' Crap.'
I immediately walked back to the station to get back to my apartment. I walked up to the booth where a man was sitting reading a magazine.
"Hi, I'd like a ticket to Vale please."
"Sorry, all Bullheads from and to Mistral are delayed due to an increase to Grimm attacking."
The man answered without looking up. I thought it was a bit rude but maybe the magazine had something important. I turned around and decided to look around the small city I landed in.
(Time skip)
After walking around for a bit, I found myself lost and hungry. I have no lien because I thought I wouldn't need it. I kept walking until a thought popped up in my mind.
'Maybe I could find food in the forest.'
I immediately turned around and ran towards the forest. It didn't take long until reached the forest and immediately found an apple tree. I picked a random one and bit into it. It's been a while since I had one and it tasted sweet.
'Wow, it tastes sweeter than I remember.'
I quickly finished one after another until I was stopped by a scream.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
I immediately turned around to the source of the scream. I was about to ignore it and bite into the apple I was holding but ultimately decided to run off in the direction of the scream.
I grabbed onto one of the weapons I had in my bag and prepared myself. The weapon was a bow with dust infused arrows. The only problem was that it was a violin, WHY WAS IT A VIOLIN! The bow was one of the first weapons I got after my first job. I mainly bought it to hide myself from Salem and crew. They might have been able to identify me by my weapon.
I clicked a button on the side of the violin and it unfolded to a bow. I grabbed an ice arrow from my bag and started to pick up speed.
When I got there, I saw a woman about the age of 23 with a weapon run away from a deathstalker and two beowolves. I notched my arrow and shot the ground in front of the Grimm. When the arrow hit the ground, ice immediately started to form causing the Grimm who tried to stop crashing into a tree. I took another arrow and shot it in the chest of the deathstalker. The arrow released yellow sparks shocked the Grimm killing them immediately.
I walked towards the woman and she turned around to thank me.
"Thanks for saving me! I thought I was a goner."
"Who are you and Why didn't you use your gun? You could've easily killed them"
"My name is Iris and about that... I was saving up for something so I decided to skip out on ammo because Grimm are rarely seen in this area."
"Don't you know? Grimm have been increasing."
"I know, but this area is mainly used for starting hunters and huntresses as a training ground. So Grimm are usually gone by this time."
"It's the middle of the day."
"Yeah, they usually get hunted very early in the morning."
"Alright, I'll tag along on your way back. Just in case."
I turned around and started to lead the way before I was stopped by her voice.
"You're a huntress from Vale right?"
'Why does she think I'm a huntress?'
"How do you know I'm a huntress? I could be a killer, solider.."
"No, because you have a huntress id sticking out of your pocket."
I looked down to see on my left pocket was my huntress id.
"Huh, must've moved it when taking out my lien for the bullhead."
"Do you need somewhere to stay? Considering all bullheads here are shut down."
"Yeah, but I don't want to intrude."
"It's already, you saved me. It's only right I pay you back."
(Time skip)
We arrived at her house and sat at a table in the kitchen.
"So, tell me about yourself."
"There's not much to say. I woke up in a forest with no memories, became a mercenary, regained my memories, took a camping trip, accidentally took the wrong bullhead, and now I'm here."
"Wait wait wait wait wait. Hold up. Did you say you lost your memories?"
"Yes."
"And you regained them not long ago."
"Yes."
"Did you have family or visit them?"
"..No"
"Why not?"
"Well, I can't go back home to my husband and daughter saying "Hey! I'm back after being missing and declared dead after about a decade." Who knows how they'll react."
"If they loved you back then, then they'll probably be very happy to see you're alive."
"...Maybe they'll welcome me with open arms or maybe they'll close the door in my face."
"Well, I know from experience that they'll have you with open arms."
"So you woke in a forest with on memories?"
"No, I ran away during a house fire, I thought my parent was dead. So I was adopted by a hunter who found me, to be honest, I thought they were dead. Only after I graduated from Mistral Academy, I decided to find out who my parents were. There I found out they were alive. I came to their new house and they were overjoyed to see me."
Iris had a happy smile while telling her story.
"So, tell me about your family."
"Not much, my daughter is a bundle of joy, and I love my husband dearly. But I always felt.. inadequate, both as a team leader and as a mother.
"Well this may sound corny but you can only do the best you can, no parent is perfect."
"That sounds like a message from bisney."
"Hey, bisney movies are mainly made for children."
Bisney was just like Disney but without the copyright stuff. So I guess people can say they're the better versions.
With the holidays coming close, I think I'll have enough time to post more.
