"What do you do madness?... You are protecting that child... why? why so much time and effort in a thing that can be squish like a bug?" Something, somewhere in the cosmos said, there were five other... things around it.
"Oh?...you think hunters are bugs?... I will remind you that a single hunter was able to kill one of us." Another feminine voice said.
A snore can be heard that made the cosmos rumble.
"Silence... if father wakes up any of this will mean nothing." Another feminine voice said while a song was heard.
"We are sorry sister... please go on." All the voices said.
"Now madness... you didn't answer." the first voice said.
"Simple... he was the only one who look into my eyes and stay sane." The thing known as madness said.
all of the voices stay silent for a moment. "That is interesting indeed... we can look into your eyes and contain your power only for a few seconds.." The first voice said.
"Any gift that you gave him to ease his way?" The first feminine voice said.
"Yes... a little gift for his aura... well it depends if you can say is a gift... it depends on how many people he kills," Madness said as he chuckled.
everyone else follow him and chuckled with him.
"I found another gift... but I wonder." Madness said.
"I did it..." The feminine voice with the song in the background said, "I notice that that child was going to be a target for the stupid games from one of you."
"can I ask... what gift do you give him?" madness asks.
"I broke him out of the shackles of the mortal body treatment." the female voice said.
"like what?... if I may ask." madness said.
"let's just say that he is not immortal but close to it." The feminine voice said.
"My, my... big sister is actually interested in humans?" The other female voice said.
"No... just this boy... he's is... adorable to put it in simple terms." The other female responded.
Madness closed his two glowing dark green eyes and opened them again to say.
"I shall take my leave sisters and brother... I shall go back to my slumber." Everyone looks at him.
"Sweet dreams little brother." the other three voices said.
and then the growing dark green eyes disappear.
"the strongest of all the elder gods and still a child." the male voice said.
"There is no rush... he still a child after all... but someday he will be able to take our father's life and be able to liberate us from this tortuous dream we live in." The female voice with the song in the background said.
and the other 3 sets of eyes disappeared first to disappear was the purple eyes, the other one had yellow eyes and the last one had blue eyes.
The elder gods...

Gehrman was on his way to the village called Kuroyuri when he saw smoke coming from the village, everything was raided kids impaled whit spears and swords, women and men were burned to ashes by the fire, in the middle of the village a Grimm with the lower body of a horse and the upper body of something that only lives in the darkest nightmares was there looking around for survivors.
he also saw two kids the same ages as Jaune hiding on the canal bellow a bridge from the waterline, he asked for the attention of the Grimm and took him to a cave where Gehrman could get our fast and get the children and leave.
as he got close to the forest he heard Jaune's ear-piercing scream.
Sherman got close to the campsite and saw a bunch of women close to the campfire looking at Jaune in the ground, and then saw the destruction of trees, in a straight line there was 20 trees that the trunk was sliced clean, and then Gehrman looked at Jaune and saw hes face and hands cover in blood he quickly put the other kids next to the woman and saw if Jaune was alive... he fainted, he was cover in blood.
then he saw the body of the captain of the bandits, the body of the man was without legs and his neck broken, there was no life in his eyes...
it looked like his soul was stripped from him.
Gehrman took Jaune to the waterfall and started to wash Jaune's body and a few minutes pass and Gehrman splash Jaune's face with water, the boy woke up.
"you okay kid?" Gehrman ask.
Jaune grab Gehrman's arm and looked at him in the eyes. "I-I kill a man Gehrman, It felt good for a few seconds, it felt fun to kill!"Jaune said, Gehrman, hug him and put a hand on top of Jaune's head.
"I know Jaune, but you did the right thing, that man was one of the people that raided the village I was going to, it was relatively new, no huntsman yet. That man killed so many people." Gherman said, with his eyes watering.
"Am I going to become like him?!" Jaune said as his eyes widened in Gehrman's embrace.
"that is your decision to make Jaune, humans have a choice, there are heroes and villains but they all have something in common they all made a choice," Gehrman said, patting Jaune's head.
Jaune buries his face further into Gehrman's chest. "what did you and dad choose?" Jaune asked.
"you might not believe it, but your dad chose to be a hero, and a legendary one, I follow him until we settled with our families. Did you know that your dad met your mom in atlas? we were born in atlas and trained in atlas with another 2 guys Ironwood and Jacque now I believe that his name is Jacque Schnee, ironwood is a bit of an asshole and Jacques is not that bad even if he is in charge of the SDC he is trying his best, he loves his family so much, too bad his wife is the opposite." Gehrman said looking at Jaune, Gehrman stops hugging Jaune.
"What do you mean?" Jaune asks.
"well his wife is not cheating on him or anything but she is lazy, drinks a lot, she abuses her children, she thinks she is high and mighty because she comes from a rich family, Jacques is a loving father but he is rarely home... poor children, when they see their dad they are always in their office with him it's the only time that they smile," Gehrman says looking at the moon.
"what about your wife?" Jaune ask.
"you mean my doll?" Gehrman says .
"y-your doll?" Jaune said.
"I call her my doll because she looked like she is timeless, she is 48 but she looks like she is till 20. she was devastated that I was not able to have kids, but she never left me, she stood by my side to thick and thin, I can never get enough of that woman," Gehrman said with a smile still looking at the moon.
"what about mom and dad?" Jaune ask.
"well you mom and dad have an interesting story, you see your parents are royal blood," Gehrman said.
"what?" Jaune said.
"they were from two different families that hated each other, this is why they live in the Tower. because if they go back to atlas they will be hunted down for treason," Gehrman said.
"so I am from royal blood?" Jaune asks Gehrman.
"yes, and a special one at that, according to history, your mother's family was one of the first families, to be born, next to your father's, also is you mother explain that when you were in her belly she was touch by one goddess smiling at your mother," Gehrman said.
"really?... wait you never told me about Jacques kids." Jaune said. as he makes a cup with his hands, He grabs water and cleans the blood in his face.
"their names are Winter, Weiss, and Whitley, Whitley is Jacques's only son, but Weiss is your same age. winter is the first one, she is a free spirit to say it in a way, she was the heiress to the SDC, but she wanted to be a huntress, her mom tried to stop her but her dad was the important here, he obviously accepted, but Weiss suffer because of this after winter left, every day and night there were beatings, gifts from her mom, pressing her into being a bird in a cage" Jaune looked mad as Gehrman was telling this story, not because he wanted to save someone just because he wanted to be a hero he knew what a cage was, not in such brutal way, but the feeling was there.
"Gehrman we are going to atlas when I finish my training." Jaune said.
"So... like now?" Gehrman asked pointing a finger to the ground. Jaune saw this a bit weird and he was confused. "well the last thing that you had to do was to cut 5 trees, no normal huntsman are able to cut this type of tress so easily, you need training for that." Gehrman said.
"But I don't remember cutting a single tree," Jaune said grabbing his head.
"well let's see..." Gehrman got up and took a stick "if you did it once you can do it again." German said as he got close to Jaune and handed him the stick.
Jaune got up and took the stick, he got close to a tree and got into his normal stance, when he started to swing his hand with the stick. The stick passed the skin and the trunk like a knife in butter. the tree fall in the direction of the waterfall creating a splash of water that hit Jaune while he was admiring what he did.
"And that proves it. To atlas!" Gehrman says as he marches back to the camp.
