In the chilly breeze that blew through Forever Fall, the four Prussian horsemen (or rather two horsemen and two horsewomen) sang a song to pass the time on the way to Herbst Castle.
'Heute wollen wir marschier'n
Einen neuen Marsch probier'n
In dem schönen Westerwald
Ja da pfeift der Wind so kalt
Oh, Du schöner Westerwald
Über Deine Höhen pfeift der Wind so kalt
Jedoch der kleinste Sonnenschein
Dringt tief ins Herz hinein
Und die Gretel und der Hans
Gehn des Sonntags gern zum Tanz
Weil das Tanzen Freude macht
Und das Herz im Leibe lacht…'
The song continued even as Richie frowned and pulled out a pistol with a strange looking handle. He turned slightly to his left and shot a nearby creeping Beowolf, it died after a few shots. The loud clack like gunshots rang out in the forest, and the howls of Beowolves and the roars of Ursai could be heard as they began to converge on the horse riders.
"Scheisse!" Richie blinked and cursed as he realized what was about to happen.
Jaune spoke up, "Los Los!"
Ruby sighed as she pressed Eroberung's sides with her spurs to increase his speed.
"Gott verdammt Richie!" Yang yelled as their mounts canter grew into a fast gallop in order to reach Herbst before they could be confronted by any Grimm.
Yang had been given Kriegsbrand to ride to the castle, and Richie rode his other horse Ableben, whose backside was white, but as you got closer to his head the darker his hair became until it was black, he had a white mane and dull white eyes.
They rushed by several Grimm, galloping much faster than any of their persuers could possible follow. But the threat was still present, and Jaune saw fit to give Herbst some warning.
He pulled out a walkie talkie off of his belt, "Herbst! Das ist Johann von Arc, ich bin mit dem Kronprinzen und wir gehen mit einer Horde Grimm hinter uns her!" a reply came within seconds "Sir, der erste Grenadiergarde wird Sie am Tor treffen und sich um sie kümmern."
The large castle came into view, the magnificent gray fortress sat on top of a tall hill and was surrounded by red trees native to Forever Fall, its tall walls and hilltop location giving it ample protection against Grimm and human alike. But they had little time to admire the beautiful view as the threatening growls and howls of Grimm came from behind them.
The gates opened and both infantry and cavalry came flooding out to protect their Kronprinz and the other royals. They galloped through them and into the courtyard, gunshots and swords could be heard as more infantry began to appear on the walls to provide more fire.
The group of around two-hundered Grimm had little holes neatly put into them by the M/88 rounds fired by the bolt-action Gewehr 98's that the guards were equipped with. Followed by brutal slashes and stabs made by Cuirassier's swords.
As the Grimm were slaughtered, the royals were ushered inside the extravagant main entrance of the castle.
The head butler quickly arrived to greet them, "Apologies Eure Hoheit, we didn't expect you for another twenty minutes."
Richie waved it off, "It's of no consequence, we merely wish to relax for the rest of the day. So Ruby and I will retire to our chamber, however Jaune and Yang might require something else instead."
"Jawhol, Eure Hoheit." the butler bowed. "Before you leave, Lady Goodwitch has arrived to see you."
Richie's eyes lit up, "Ah, Glynda's here? Wunderbar, bring her into the library by all means!"
The butler nodded and walked out of the room.
Hello, sorry about the length and date, again. But my computer did have another stroke and I finally fixed it for good (hopefully) yesterday, so the next chapter shouldhopefully be out on Friday, like it was supposed to be last week. Sorry, I'm a little pissed that I had to crunch to write a short chapter that didn't do much due to bullcrap reasons. Next chapter will be three-thousand words. Nothing in Heaven, Hell, Earth, or Remnant will stop that.
On to the Review Replies!
Bataaf: No decolonization, for when colonization happens in Remnant, it's usually against Grimm and not other people.
Perseus12: The reaction of the White Fang with appear right before they enter Beacon, so you wont have to wait too long for that. Weiss is in for a big surprise when she finds out who Ruby, Richie and Jaune are, believe me. And Salem? Well, the appearance of Prussia definitely piqued her interest.
Dragonheart51: I'm afraid I don't know what AlternateHistory is, could you elaborate? I'm interested. But regarding Faunus and Eugenics, as far as I know, Eugenics promoted by the Kaiser Wilhelm institute were very tame compared to say Nazi Germany, I think they were more focused on people who had bad genetic disorders (personally something I agree with, though no culling, that is just wrong). Besides, they wouldn't wouln't find Faunus inferior due to their superior night vision and hearing, and they certainly wouldn't find non-Faunus people inferior simply due to the fact that not having night vision and super-hearing wouldn't be enough.
StormMarine: Don't worry, Prussia will remain a happy monarchy. But Nazi Germany might just appear...
