SANS: EMERALD FOREST

Sans had been walking through a peaceful forest just a second before. It was nice and quiet, until Sans heard noises surrounding him.

When Sans turned around he saw a wolf-like creature. Its fur was pitch-black. It stood on its hind legs, with a slouch.

The creature wore a bone-like mask with red markings that had an unusual pattern. It had bone-like spikes coming out of its arms, back, and knees. Their hands and feet also ended with long, sharp, white claws.

This beast also seemed like a natural killer, just like the one before. So did that mean that everything that inhabited this forest wanted to kill him?

Before Sans could even think about what to do the creature launched forward towards Sans. Sans immediately used a shortcut to get behind the creature.

Sans summoned 5 normal bones above his head, and shot them straight at the wolf-creature. Some of the bones got deflected off of its armour. the others managed to hit it, but it didn't deal much damage.

'huh. it's too armoured on the top, need to find a place that has no armour or has hardly any armour' Sans thought. 'the underneath it has hardly any armour at all, this should make this battle a lot easier.'

Sans summoned another 5 bones, and directed 4 of them at a leg. Hopefully this would slow this monster down and make it easier to land a hit. Sans fired.

Only 2 of the bones managed to get a full hit. The other ones missed, but only slightly.

The beast, looked in pain from that attack but kept fighting anyway, it ran straight at sans, swiping its paws left and right hoping to hit its target.

Sans had teleported away in time, chuckling to himself as the beast ran into a tree, still not realising he had moved from that spot.

While the beast looked around for any sign of Sans. Sans took this moment to use his final attack. Hopefully killing this beast.

Sans was at the ready. He looked over to the beast, and lifted his arm up, in a fast motion. Bones erupted from the ground right underneath the beast. The beast didn't even get a second to react as it was pierced right the way through its body. It took one last breath and slowly started to dissolve.

Sans sat down exhausted from all the fights and all the walking he had just had to do. He's not used to all of this exercise. He found the perfect tree to lean against while sitting down. It had a nice curve for his back and head to sit in.

He then sensed he was being watched. Hopefully it wasn't another beast, he didn't have the energy to fight another. He looked up to see someone else, they were standing there staring at him, with a gobsmacked look on her face.

GLYNDA: EMERALD FOREST

Glynda had arrived at the forest about 10 minutes ago. She had still yet to find any trace of this boy.

She had walked through almost half the forest before she heard a beowolf's howl not too far away. Glynda reacted straight the way, running in the direction of the noise.

It didn't take too long for her to arrive at the scene. There was the boy, he dodging the beowolf's attacks at that moment in time. She was ready to attack the beowolf, but she stopped herself. She had looked over at the boy. Above his head were 5 bones, they were all lined up in a straight row. Before she could even think about where they had come from they fired at the beowolf. Most of the bones deflected off of its armour, but surprisingly the others managed to hit the beowolf.

The boy seemed to have a strategic plan as he was careful with his attacks and easily defeated the beowolf in just a few minutes.

Glynda was dumbfounded at what she had just watched happen. She thought that it would be another wannabe huntsman, who was actually just helpless. That's what she had thought of him, but now she all see can see a warrior, that with the proper training could be a true hero of the world.

Now she could see why Ozpin wanted to meet this child. He was extraordinary. However where did he learn to use such power? She snapped out of her daze, and perceived that she was staring at the boy. He was sitting against a tree. He looked drowsy, was it just from that fight, or had he fought other Grimm as well?

She took a moment to look at him again. The boy looked young, just barely 17. He had quite pale skin whit bone-white hair, that was a complete mess. The young boy wore a simple white t-shirt with a sea blue fur lined jacket. He had black basketball shorts with a white stripe going down the side, and surprisingly he was wearing pink slippers?

She looked back to him again, he was looking at her.

She had now found him, and he was safe. It was time to get out of here, they can talk on the plane.

Anger then started swelling up inside her. She was amazed at his... semblance? If that's what that was, she'd never seen one like that before. She was still displeased that he went in the forest in the first place, and alone as well. Not that she would of been much happier if there was a group or pair. But at least then he'd have someone to watch his back.

The worst part was that he wasn't even fazed about her anger or the fact that he had been in the forest. It was even forbidden for people who weren't trained to be able to enter, or had permission.

SANS: EMERALD FOREST

Sans looked at the woman. She wasn't paying attention, she was probably lost in her thoughts. While she wasn't paying attention Sans used this moment to use Judge on her. His judge told him that she 'Has a stern personality, quite business like, and has a good fighting style. Almost easily annoyed, don't piss her off.'

"heya there" Sans said, breaking the silence that had filled the forest.

The woman kept staring at him, she trying to hold back all the anger that she had stored inside of her. Once she managed to calm herself she spoke, "Hello there young man. What do you think you are doing out here?"

"ya know. i was just taking a lil' stroll. why have i done something wrong?" he replied, a smile spreading across his face. He was laid back, it annoyed her. How could he not care that he was walking in such a dangerous forest.

She quickly replied with a stern look in her eyes, "Young man! It is dangerous to enter the Emerald Forest without permission!"

Sans had no idea how to answer, how could you answer when you don't even know much about the world you're in?

She finally spoke after seeing his expression, "Just... Come with me"

Sans was shocked and relieved to have her say that. It meant that he was actually going to go somewhere that wasn't in this forest. He would finally be able to relax, knowing that he won't have to be on edge. Sans nodded at the woman and followed not too far behind her.

They had been walking in the forest in complete silence, it was comforting but also spine-chilling. He hated silence, it reminded him of the underground, when Chara had killed everyone. Sans had to break this silence, time to find out this woman's name.

"so, heya. i'm sans, sans the skeleton! nice to meet ya..." Sans then realised his mistake when she stopped dead in his tracks. He had said skeleton, he's a human now. Damn how is he going to get out of this one?

"I'm Glynda. Glynda Goodwitch." she replied. "So Sans Skeleton? Interesting name. Fits your semblance very well."

Relief flooded through Sans body. He wasn't going to have to explain his mistake. Except there was one thing he was confused about, "what's a semblance?"

Glynda looked back to him in disbelief. "You don't know what semblance is? Is this a joke, please tell me it is." When Glynda looked up to see an expression that told her it wasn't a joke. Had this boy been living under a rock, everyone at his age should know what a semblance is. How to answer? "Well a semblance is kind of like an ability a person has. It is known to represent something to do with who you are. However, a person's Semblance can be similar to the Semblances of their parents or other family members."

'so i guess it's this worlds version of magic then?' Sans thought to himself. "So how does it work?" Sans finally managed to say.

" Well, just think of your semblance like a muscle. The more you practice with it, the stronger it will become. But if you only focus on one aspect of it, and fail to test the limits of what you think is possible. Then you and your semblance never truly grow to your full potential"

That was where they finished the conversation.

The forest was filled with silence again. The two kept on walking, until they finally reached a jet-like aircraft. That's where one journey ended, and another had began.
