Hello, and welcome to another chapter of….

Skyward Remnants!

Now, before we get onto the comments, I am going to warn you that this chapter isn't filled to the brim with action like the last one. In fact, this chapter will be exposition filled. I hope you don't mind.

NOW, ONTO THE COMMENTS!

PlopPrince: Indeed I did! I hope you enjoyed it!

Nemenlos: Yes he did, with Fi's help of course. She played an important role in all of this.

Silentghost96: I hope it was, I worked three months on it. I hope you will love future chapters of this story, since the love shall motivate me to create better, longer, more well put together chapters! I should be able to finish this next chapter way sooner than the last one. Hope to see you in my Review section again!

Wolfenheart: Ahh, so the the cliffhanger was killing you huh? Well you don't have to worry! There should only be… about a hundred more.

Muahhahahaahhahah!

But seriously, I'm glad you are looking forward to more of my story! So I shall keep up my awesome work!

Toonlink111: Well here is another chapter, so please read and enjoy!

Neo Angelo Constantine: I know Link has tanked bigger and badder, the problem is he is still green at this point(pun intended). I wrote myself into a corner with the Omega Beowulf, I was lucky I could bull-shit my way out of it.

The Legendary Dark Knight Tony: I apologize my new friend, I was having trouble in school, so I had to focus all of my attention on that. I'm going to tell you, I was nervous when someone was already bothered by my story three chapters in. I am glad to find they are more questions than stuff that bothers you!

Now, onto the what seems to bug you.

You are correct, Link does go around the world finding ancient architect and item, while using them to defeat the boss of the temple and/or dungeon. Each of these items are extremely powerful, as well as useful. The explanation for why other explorers couldn't find such things will be explained.

Link did indeed fall into the Emerald Forest, but what's to say that the Sealed Grounds isn't there? The other places in the game will be explained about why there locations have changed and how.

Will Ghirahim appear? Who knows. Who are his allies? You'll have to wait and see…

Indeed, you need the flames as well as Zelda's blessings to create the Blade of Evil's Bane. Those will be in the story too, but with a certain- Oops, almost spoiled people there.

...I kinda want to tell you, but I don't want to spoil anything, so just wait please.

Will he? I don't know. Maybe he will, maybe he won't.

I shall continue this story, and shall converse with Twin2 at the end of the chapter. So, if you wish to see, read beyond just the story.

Mangahero18: Sorry to hear that, but I do hope you'll continue reading my story.

Just a Fan: Don't worry, our favorite emerald hero is perfectly fine, as you'll read in this chapter. As for your questions, you'll have to wait and see.

Now that all of those comments are done, on to the story!

The Surface World

Ozpin

I had never thought I would see something like this when I realized there was an Omega Beowulf in the area. I had expected my students running in terror, with a giant Grimm at their backs. Or, god forbid, a few corpses in the area.

I did not expect one of my student to be climbing on top of said Grimm like a jungle-gym.

"Ohhh…" I heard the obvious fascination from Nora Valkyrie, as she pretended the ride the unmoving Grimm. Despite the protests of a certain student in green, she made no attempts of coming down from the beast.

That however, wasn't our main issue…

Our main issue was the other Boy in green bleeding out on the the grass.

As soon as we had landed our Bullhead, we made our way toward the young man as fast as we could. By my side, Glynda had a stretcher being brought along with her Semblance.

Glynda gently rose the boy from his position, once again using her Semblance, and slowly placed him right on top of the stretcher. Without another word, she turned on her heel and nearly sprinted towards the Bullhead with the young man in tow.

After all, she needed no permission to take a Hero to our care unit.

"Umm…" I heard a small voice from my left, as I watched the Bullhead make a beeline for Beacon. I looked down towards the voice and found the young Miss Rose standing there, a question on her mind. However, it would seem her… somewhat lacking social skills were getting in her way.

"What do you wish Ruby." I asked the young girl in a kind voice, urging her to ask her question.

"Umm…" She started, looking towards the ground as she did so. Suddenly, she looked up with no small amount of worry in her eye. " D-do you think Link will be ok?" She asked, seemingly nervous at what my answer may be.

Well… we couldn't have that now could we.

So, with a small(almost care-free)smile on my face, I told her my thoughts.

"Rest assured Miss Rose, your new friend is getting the best treatment that Beacon Academy can offer, and then some." I told her, and watched as that nervous look was obliterated by an expression I wish to never see disappear.

Hope.

However, I could not simply sit there and wait for our ride to come back. I had to… process what has happened here.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some important matters to deal with." I told her, I started to walk towards what me, Glynda, and my other students were so curious about.

The supposedly paralyzed Omega Beowulf.

"Oh, oh, can I help!" Miss Rose asked, nearly jumping at the chance to help someone.

Then again, this is the daughter of Summer Rose and Taiyang Xiao Long.

With a smile plastered onto my face, I could nothing but accept the offer.

"Alright, however I may have to ask some questions revolving around your… beastly encounter." I warned her, preparing her for some of what was to come. "If that is alright with you, of course." I told her, making sure she knew that this was only optional.

"That's fine." She said simply, no sort of discomfort crossing her expression. "As long as I can answer it, I will be sure to tell you."

"That's comforting to hear." I told her, as I readied some of my questions. "So, where did you first see our large black friend?" I asked, using my cane to indicate who I was talking about.

"It was right after Link had saved me." She stated simply, her slight worry for the boy showing on her expression. "We were talking to each other, well it was more like I was talking to him." She continued, looking down at the grass in thought. "He didn't talk much, he just… I don't know how to explain it. I just… kinda understood what he was trying to tell me." She stated, her confusion ever present upon her expression.

Hmm… sounds like he is a very expressive young man.

"After that, a Beowulf suddenly jumped out of nowhere! But Link already seemed to know that, cause he just turned around and cut it straight down the middle! He was all 'hwah, shaw, hyah'." She said, with no amount of professionalism to be seen.

"After that, Link and I saw the Omega Beowulf and a few other normal Beowulf's! I tried to get him away, but he wouldn't move a muscle, he just stood there and stared at it!" She said, as her eyes filled with figurative stars. "He was so cool, just glaring at the Grimm! It must've known that Link was strong, because it didn't try to kill us at that point!" She practically shouted, her admiration boiling up.

"Awww, Ruby has a little crush!" Said Miss Xiao Long, who had walked in on the last second. She had a mischievous smile on her face, one that told all of the people around her that she was just joking around.

Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunate to those around, Ruby Rose does not understand social cues.

"W-W-W-What!" Miss Rose yelled out, her face a deeper red than the cloak she wore. The cloak she was now using to hide herself from the outside world. "N-No I don't!" She denied, even though it wasn't very convincing when she wasn't able to be seen.

Miss Xiao Long continued to put oil on the fire, her grin growing even more.

"Yes you do~" She said in a sing-song voice. "You totally like him." She told her, her grin never once shrinking.

"I don't like him!" She said, as she took the hood off of her, only to realise something. "N-not that I hate him, but I don't…" She muttered repeatedly, trying to admit that her affections wasn't a crush, but just that of a friend. As she was doing so, I could swear there was steam coming out of her ears.

"Umm...Ruby?" Miss Xiao Long asked, as she waved a hand in front of her sister's face. She didn't respond, all she did was mutter the same phrase over and over.

"I think you broke her Yang." Mr. Arc stated, as he walked away from the Omega Beowulf. It would appear the attempts to help his friend get Nora Valkyrie down was a failure, as I could still hear her shouting in delight.

"I didn't think she would take it this seriously!" Miss Xiao Long defended, as she pondered something. "Maybe she does have a crush on him?" She asked herself, her newfound question spiking curiosity within her. "Probably shouldn't mention this to Dad then." She told herself, her expression set in an unusually serious face.

Just as I was about to put them back on track, I heard the Bullhead I had ordered to come pick us up arrive. It was important that the first Bullhead had made it back as fast as possible, as it held an injured man as it's cargo. This second one was to bring the rest of my students and I back to Beacon Academy.

Unfortunately, we would have to wait until tomorrow until we could bring in the Omega Beowulf. The preparation would take at least a day, as we had to make sure that no one will be harmed while transporting one of the strongest banes of humanity.

Even though it is pretty much proven that whatever Link had done to it, he had made it virtually harmless.

"I'M QUEEN OF THE CASTLE!" Miss Valkyrie shouted out, as she stood on top of the Grimm, her hands on her hips. "I COMMAND YOU ALL TO MAKE ME PANCAKES!" She commanded everyone in a whimsical voice, a broad smile on her face.

"Nora!" Mr. Lie Ren shouted up to her, his voice not angry, but not empty of emotion either. "The Bullhead is here, we need to go!" He told her, his voice back to being his normal tone.

"IS THAT ANY WAY TO TALK TO YOUR QUEEN?!" She asked, her voice echoing across the field. Her haughty attitude could be seen by all, a sort of attitude that would never waver to any sort of temptation or threat.

"I won't make you any pancakes, if your not on the Bullhead in the next few seconds ." Lie Ren stated simply, his eyes closed and arms crossed.

Faster than a bullet, Nora Valkyrie rushed to the Bullhead, and got in before it even landed. She waved her hand and rushed everyone into the vehicle.

Needless to say, I was ready to leave, as I had other students waiting for me at the school. We had an initiation to conclude, after all.

I started to walk towards the Bullhead my purpose fulfilled.

That was when I heard something strange.

Wind chimes.

That was the best way I could describe the noise I was hearing.

I turned around as quickly as I could, trying to find the source the questionable noise. However, all I saw was the green grass, and the black fur of the paralyzed Grimm. After another second of searching, I thought it was just my mind playing tricks on me. So I turned around and walked toward the Bullhead once again…

Only to hear the same noise a second time.

With my curiosity peaked, I walked in the direction I had heard the noise. As I looked around, I saw something strange within the grass.

It was a beautiful sword, one that looked as if made by an expert blacksmith. It's blade unquestionably sharp, and it's handle expertly crafted.

'What is it doing here?' I thought to myself, as I kept staring at the blade on the ground. It wasn't any blade I had ever seen. I looked around the sword, trying to find any evidence of who this might belong to.

I immediately found the evidence, as it was so obvious that I should have realized it from the start.

Right next to the blade was what once used to be emerald colored grass, now stained with the blood of a young man.

'So this must be Link's sword. Strange, I would've thought Glynda would've noticed it.' I thought to myself, as I bent over to pick up the blade. 'Now what made that strange noi-'

All of my thoughts stopped as soon as I had touched the handle of the blade. Then came the worst feeling I had ever felt.

As soon as I had felt it, I had instantly backed away from the sword. The feeling was gone as soon as my skin had been removed from the sword.

'T-that was…' For the first time in a long while, I was at a lost for words. That feeling… it could not be described, there was no word that even came close to how terrible that feeling was.

This sword… It's dangerous. I don't know how that boy could possibly wield it. He must know something about it, a special trick that lets him wield this blade.

I would have to study it, but first I would have to bring it back with me.

Taking out a cloth I had on hand, I used it to cover the handle. While the effect was lessened to a degree, the feeling was still there, haunting me as I walked to the Bullhead.

When I was inside the vehicle, I signaled the pilot to fly use to the, taking extra caution as to not have my students hold the weapon.

It would seem I have even more questions for our young hero.

Darkness.

It was all I could see.

No light anywhere to be seen within this endless void.

I was falling.

Where? I'm not sure.

All I knew was that I was falling.

Then I was jerked to a stop so suddenly, I swore I could feel my brain flatten against my skull.

As I shook my head, I looked up to see a… candle?

"Hmm, if I knew I was going to have a guest I would've cleaned this place up a little."

That voice!

As I turned my head, I saw him there. He was sitting down in the same chair as last time, the shadows still covering his frame. Only a single hand could be seen.

"Next time, give me some sort of warning before you come crashing down." The man in the shadow covered chair spoke, his voice still soft to the touch.

"It's you! The man who told me that story!" I shouted, the volume of my voice almost straining my vocal cords. I was usually never this loud, after all.

"Ah, so you remember. That's good, this way I don't have to explain a second time." He told me, his voice suggesting that he was joking. "Do you remember anything else? The last time you were here, you weren't exactly…" He trailed off, either not sure what to say, or leaving it up to me to finish.

I thought back as far as I could, trying to pick anything up. Unfortunately, I had only retained small amounts. At least, I knew who I was, where I was.

"Not much." I told him simply, not want any sort of drag in the conversation.

"Hmm, that's unfortunate…" He told me, replying with the exact same tone.

For a while, all was quiet. No sound pierced this room as I stood. I had walked over to the chair I was sitting in the last time I was here, and realized something I hadn't noticed before.

The chair was green, my favorite color...

"So…" The man across from me started off, as I sat down in the comfortable chair. "Good job out there." He told me, trying to start a conversation with as well as trying to leave the uncomfortable silence behind.

"Umm… thanks." I said simply, as we once again descended into an awkward silence.

…

"UGHH! Stop answering in a single sentence like that! It doesn't help conversation!" The man said suddenly, his quiet voice slightly louder than before.

"Ok, ok. Sorry." I said trying to apologize for my talking habits. Afterwards, I looked around the small room we were in, lit only by candle light. "You know, you didn't answer me the last time I asked this, but…" taking another glance around the room, I focused on where I thought he was. "Where am I?"

At first, he didn't answer, he just sat still seemingly thinking about something on his mind.

"You are in a safe place." He told me cryptically, his whisper seeming to echo of the walls. "A place where no map exists to find it, and where no man can pierce." He told me, his words reassuring my mind.

"Ok… but where is that?" I asked him again, hoping to find out any other clue.

His answer was only a small chuckle.

I sighed as I tried to find a new topic for conversation. As I looked around, I saw the book he had used to tell me that story from last time. I looked away, trying to find something else to talk about. When I had found nothing, I asked the first thing that came to mind.

"What am I doing here?" I asked the man dressed in shadows, the only thing in view being his hand and brown chair.

"Finally," he practically gasped in relief, his tone showing what almost felt like gratitude. "An interesting question."

Not sure if I should be offended or not.

"You are here, because you…" He paused, trying to build up dramatic tension. "Are still green." He told me with all of the seriousness in the world.

"Uh…what?" Is...is he making fun of my clothing style?

"You, are still new to this whole adventuring thing." He restated, his tone clear and precise. "You are here to learn about the new world that you have found. You are here to learn tips that may help you survive through the many, many hardships that you will face. Here, you shall learn things lost to time, and forgotten by all." He told me seriously, his tone showing the weight of these facts.

"That is, if you can remember what you learn here." He told me, the serious tone he had once had now gone with the wind. "You do seem to have a problem with memory." He said with a chuckle.

"Well when do we start!?" I asked him, my excitement to learn such things reaching it's peak.

"Right now!" He told me, his tone still having a joking tint to it. I could feel the smile grow on my face, as I prepared to make sure I remember all that is said.

His next words only served to put a damper on my mood.

"Is what I would say, if you weren't needed elsewhere." He told me, my surprise outweighing my disappointment.

"What do you mean, I'm not needed anywhere." I stated simply, as I was pretty sure I'm not needed anywhere.

"Ahh, but that's where you're wrong." He told me, as he grabbed a book off of the dimly lit shelf at his side. "If you step through that door, I'm sure you'll find someone on the other side."

"Door?" I asked him, curious as to what he was talking about. "What door?"

As if on cue, I heard the creaking of un-oiled hinges from behind me. I turned my head slowly, not in any sort of rush to see what was there.

There, attached to the wall, was a door covered in shadows. I could not perceive what the door looked like, as the shadows that covered it were thick. Beyond the door could not be seen, as it was emanating a bright light. Despite the bright shining light, the room remained as dark and shadow covered as it did before.

"That door." I heard him say simply, with a slight smugness to his tone. "Now run along, I need to figure out what I'm going to teach you the next time you come here."

"Where will it take me?" I asked him, as I stood from the chair. I was cautious about what I may find through the door, as I had little to no memory about whatever was outside this room.

"Who knows." He told me flippantly, as I heard the sound of turned pages grace my ears.

I had to sigh as, of course, he avoided a direct answer. I took a step towards the bright door, when a random thought came to me. For the last time, I turned my head towards him an asked…

"What's your name?"

His hand stopped in the middle of turning a page in his book, as if he were surprised by my sudden question. "What?"

"Your name, what is it?" I asked him again, wondering why he was so surprised.

He hesitated, and just sat there on his own chair, unmoving. After a few minutes he responded with words I did not expect from… well anyone.

"I don't have a name." He told me simply, the tone of his voice unreadable to me.

"What!?" I exclaimed, surprised at this. After all, how can anything be without a name. It is an identity, an extension of who you are.

"I have never needed one." He told me simply, the tone of his voice unreadable. "After all," he started, his joking tone returning to his voice. "What use is a name when you live in solitude?" He asked, his sentence ending in small, sad chuckle.

That's… I don't know how to respond to that. However, even though I had no idea what say, I had spouted the first thing that had come to mind.

"You're not."

His hand twitched, ever so slightly. It was almost unnoticeable in the darkness of the room, but I could see it with perfect clarity. "Not…what? You're gonna have to be a little more specific." He stated, perhaps feigning ignorance, or just wanting some sort of clarification.

"You're not alone, at least not anymore." I told, my mouth running on autopilot as I spoke to him. "This place is no longer your own sanctuary, it's mine as well. I will be coming here every so often, right? So...that means there will only be small intervals of solitude." What am I even saying? However, I couldn't stop myself. Something within me was spurring me on, telling me to continue.

"So brighten the place up slightly, maybe even set up some snacks, because soon enough, I will be coming to visit again. So until then, enjoy the only solitude you will ever have again."

Silence was all that had answered my sudden speech. There was no movement either, just a stillness in the area.

Then it happened.

It started off small, barely a whisper but it just got louder and louder with each passing second. I watched as the man in the chair shook, as he banged his upon the arm of his chair. What was he doing?

He was laughing.

He sat there, laughing his invisible head off. I had to wait a few minutes, waiting for his response. I was tempted to leave at one point, but my higher judgement won over. So, I continued to wait for him to stop laughing.

When he was finally done with his fit of laughter, he spoke with a new vigor.

"Phew, wow." He started, the room filled with his gasps for air. "Fantastic speech there, you've just made my day." he told me, as he continued to suck in the air around him. "That, deserves a prize."

"A prize?" I asked him, curious as to what it could be.

"Unfortunately, there is nothing here that you can take with you that would be of use." He told me, as he used his unshadowed hand to bring attention to the surrounding. "So instead, i'll give you a word of advice." He told me, his once joking tone now more serious than knife's edge.

"Be cautious about how much you use that Sword Spirit. For she is your greatest asset, as well as your most crippling weakness."

I was as confused as I was surprised. Sword Spirit? What was he-

"I can see by your expression that you're confused." The man told me, his sudden interruption derailing my train of thought. "However, you have kept those people waiting outside long enough." With that said, he brought his hand over the candle. "May we meet again Link."

As soon as he had said that, his hand went over the the candles flame, covering the only light source in this room. The room became pitch black, and I felt myself being pulled to the blinding white door. However, none of this was on my mind, as I was distracted by a stray thought.

'How did he know my nam-'

I was blinded, my sight taken away from me. Though this time, the Darkness had nothing to do with it. This time…

It was the Light that blinded me.

My eyes fluttered open, as my ears were assaulted by a sudden loud noise. The sudden explosion of sound was so loud and high, I thought my eardrums would explode.

"GUYS, GUYS, THAT STRONG GRASSHOPPER GUY IS AWAKE!" The booming voice of an orange, of all colors, haired girl shouted at the the top of her lungs. She was hovering over me, way too close for comfort, and her lightning blue eyes watching me. Needless to say, I was shocked.

I was so shocked, I jolted forward and bashed our heads together.

"Oww!" She shouted, as she rubbed her forehead with her hand. The same could be said for me, as I was rubbing the new red mark on my head.

"I warned you Nora," said a man in green, standing right next to to girl who I now knew as Nora.

"You said he would be surprised, not that that he would bash my head in!" She told him, as she crossed her arms and pouted slightly.

"I said you shouldn't surprise him when he wakes up." The man green said, his voice calming and quiet. The exact opposite of the girl next to him.

"Pfft, come on?" She asked with a large smile on her face, as she waved off the boy's claim. "Who doesn't like surprises? I mean, surprises are great! Like that surprise birthday party I threw for you!"

"We agreed never to talk about that birthday party Nora." The man stated, his eyes closed as he did.

"Ughhh! Fine!" She said as she turned the other way. However, I could hear her whisper 'Party-Pooper' as she did.

After the little discussion, I immediately looked around the room I was in.

It was a medium sized white room, about as big as my own on Skyloft. It was quite empty, the only objects in it being two strange contraption. One of the contraptions was sticking right into my arm giving me some sort of strange fluid. The other was on my finger, with a cord attached to some beeping device.

A window was at my left, and through it, I could see absolutely nothing since it was dark outside. What time was it?

Within the room were ten people, each of them as colorful as the last. However, out of all of them, one of them stuck out to me.

The man with the cane…

His eyes spoke of a wisdom that came with both age and knowledge. His body showed he was confident, and powerful as well. The posture he had might have spoken of a relaxed man meeting a new person, but behind it all was something…

Dangerous…

"Link,YouweresocoolMyfriendshadthoughtyouweredeadbutyouweren'tandIwatchyoudefeatanOmegaBeowulfallbyyourselfanditwassocoolandawesomeandcool!" Said a voice barely comprehensible from my left side.

Imagine my surprise to find, once again, the young Ruby Rose with stars in her eyes.

"Whoa there little sis," A voice called out from right next to her, the new person shifting into view. There stood a blonde girl with…quite the revealing outfit. It was never any clothing I've seen on Skyloft, that's for sure. Wait a sec…Sisters? They look nothing alike.

"Give the little grasshopper some space, he just woke up." She said with a joking tone, obviously commenting on the nickname the Nora girl gave me.

What even is a Grasshopper?

"Indeed," said a girl in white with icy blue eyes that looked as if they were trying to create holes in Ruby's skull. "Not like a dolt like you would understand." She whispered softly, as she looked away from Ruby and towards me.

Her eyes, while looking like they would create holes in me, held a sort of begrudging respect towards me. However, as soon as she had turned toward me, she looked away with some pink on her cheeks. Hmm, must have a slight fever.

As soon as she had looked away, I felt more pairs of eyes staring. Right I was, when I turned to find three people staring at me with different emotions.

One, a black haired girl with golden eyes, stared with a black face. Her eyes, however, were showing a huge amount of respect for me. Why would she see look at me with such respect , I could not fathom.

The blond boy was looking at me as if I were some storybook Hero come to life. While flattering, I felt extremely uncomfortable with such… admiration.

The girl with red hair, however, had a different expression. She saw a worthy opponent, one who could keep her on her toes, one who could prove a challenge to her in combat. Right now, however, it would seem that she'd rather make sure I'm alright.

All this and more, led me to the newest question on my mind.

Where exactly am I?

"You are in the Care Ward of Beacon's Infirmary." The with the cane told me, as he stood up and showed his full height. "One of the best in the world might I add." He told me with a slight smirk on his face, one suggesting that he was quite proud of this. "I am Professor Ozpin, Headmaster of this academy."

Headmaster? That would mean this place is a Knight Academy, and that the people who surrounded me were Knights-in-training. That's impossible though, because the only Academy in the Sky was-

'But I'm no longer in the sky.'

I could feel my eyes widened in surprise, as I had realised my own hiccup in logic. I wasn't in the sky…

I was on the Surface. The place no Hylian has explored in Hundreds upon Hundreds of Centuries! The place that has only been known to a select group of people on Skyloft, and even they didn't know the details of what it looked like. Heck, they didn't know anything about it other then it was there.

Yet here I was, sitting in a bed surrounded by unknown people, in an unknown building, with unknown expanses of land.

And I'm one the first Hylian to see it… to see these people... to see…

The World.

Ozpin

When I had brought Link into Beacon's Careward, I had expected a strong, wise, and experienced warrior whose skill with a blade could only be matched by his courage in the face of of danger.

Instead, I saw a boy whose curiosity could kill seven cats, with the naivete of a child who has stepped into their own personal Wonderland.

Not that much different than my students.

I watched as he looked around in awe, with eyes wide and curious to a looked at every inch of the room he was in, never losing that look of almost child like innocence.

Then his eyes came back to me, looking me right in the eyes. Giving me an answer that would I would have never expected from a child who was no older than my student, I could do nothing but lift a questioning eyebrow.

"What's Beacon?"

My students had their eyes wide, none of them able to comprehend what he had just said. After all, every student in this room has dreamed of coming to this school.

"Wha-" Miss Schnee started, disbelief both clouding over her expression. Only for it to disappear and make way for an angry expression. "How could you not have heard of Beacon Academy! Not only is it the best academy in Remnant, It has also trained the greatest Huntsmen and Huntresses to date! How Could you possibly be unaware of it!"

I half expected the recently awakened boy to shrink back in fear from the girl's shouting. Instead, his expression showed that all he had was more confusion.

"Remnant? Remnant of what?" He asked her, as he shifted in his seat ever so slightly. "And what's a Huntsman?"

At this point, even I was in disbelief over what he had just exclaimed. He doesn't know the name of the planet, how? Even those uneducated in the ways of Remnant know four things, The name of the planet, the Huntsman, Dust, and the Creatures of Grimm.

This boy… how could he possibly not know two of the most important aspects of our society?

"Did you hit your head or something Grasshopper?" Miss Xiao Long asked him, her forced smile obvious for the world to see.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Link asked, his look of confusion never wavering.

"Ohh, you know…" She started to ask, her forced smile straining to keep itself up. "You might have a small case of… amnesia?"

A small gasp came from the young Miss Rose, as her expression morphed into one of worry.

"Doe-does that mean he doesn't remember anything!?" She asked, her voice loud and filled with worry. She turned to Link, her expression now filled with determination. "Don't worry Link, I'll be sure to help you recover your memory. Maybe," She put a hand to her chin, and with eyes closed, started to hum in thought.

She slapped her hand on top of her open palm. "Maybe you have some pictures on your scroll we could use to jog your memory!" She exclaimed as she used her Semblance to search through Link's clothes on the bed side table.

"Why would I have a scroll on me?" He asked Miss Rose, as he looked at her with wide eyes, filled with surprise. As soon as she heard this, she stopped rummaging through his clothes. She turned to him with a raised eyebrow.

"Wait," Exclaimed Mr. Arc as he dug through the pocket of his jeans." You mean you don't have one of these on you?" He asked, as he pulled a scroll from the inside of his pocket. The small screen was turned off, so it didn't show any images.

This seemed to only confuse Link even more than he was originally.

"Why do you have a pane of glass in your pocket?" He asked Mr. Arc, his expression only showing his utter confusion.

"I-it's not a pane of glass, it's a scroll." Mr. Arc stated as he placed his scroll back into his pocket.

As soon as he stated that, Link looked as if Mr. Arc had grown a second head.

"W-why are you looking at me like that." Mr. Arc asked, as his discomfort growing with each second.

Link didn't answer him, all he did was continue to stare.

Deciding that this was the appropriate time to put everyone back on track, I coughed into my hand. Everyone turned their attention to me, giving me the chance to speak.

"While it is a reasonable theory Miss Xiao Long," I told the young blonde girl, my expression calm with a small grin. " Mr. Link here has had no signs of any sort of head trauma. It would seem," I continued, as I shifted my gaze to the young man on the hospital bed. "That he has little to no knowledge of the world around him."

"How is that possible?" Miss Nikos asked out loud, hoping for some sort of answer. When it didn't come, she continued to speak out loud. "Nearly all of Remnant has been explored, with the exception of areas heavily populated by Grimm. All villages and caravans that have been found are equipped with all current technology." She explained to everyone in the room, though most seem to already know this.

"So…" She started, as she turned to the current anomaly in the room. "Where could he have come from to not know anything about Remnant?"

For the moment, everyone was tense. As every student in the room wondered where he could have come from, a single voice pierced the moment of silence.

"Umm… What's a Grimm?" Link asked, destroying any sort of tension that was in the room.

…

…

...

"You must be joking." Miss Schnee stated, as she rubbed her temples with her fingers. "You killed one not even ten hours ago!" She exclaimed loudly, as she emphasized her outburst with a swing of her.

"Paralyzed." Miss Belladonna stated simply, her expression revealing no emotion. "He didn't kill it…" whatever came after that was a quiet mumble, unable to be heard by any in the room.

All except for one, it would seem.

As he scratched the back of his head sheepishly, he responded to whatever Miss Belladonna had said.

"My sword wasn't long enough to kill the Demon, only long enough to paralyze it." As he told her that, Miss Belladonna's eyes widened ever so slightly. It would seem she was surprised by his ability to hear her.

"How did you-" before she could ask, she was interrupted by a certain excitable orange haired girl.

"Wow! You paralyzed an Omega Beowulf, and a demon!" She shouted loudly, as both Miss Belladonna and Link cringed at the volume of her voice. "Other than passing out from blood loss, today must've been a great day for you!"

"Nora," Mr. Lie Ren started, his voice calming the excitable girl down. "You seem to be making him uncomfortable, again." He told the girl, as her smile dropped ever so slightly. However, it seemed he had something else to ask.

"You said you paralyzed a Demon, but what are you referring to?" He asked Link, his gaze curious as to what he was talking about.

Link looked slightly confused at the question, but answered anyway.

"The giant black four-legged creature I made Ruby run from." He told Mr. Lie Ren, as everybody's eye's widened slightly.

"Grasshopper, that's not a demon," Yang started off, her smile reminding me of someone who found a friend of theirs doing something silly. "That was a Grimm."

Link raised an eyebrow, as he shook his head. "No, that was demon."

"Link, that was a Grimm." Miss Belladonna told him, her voice calm and filled with certainty. "A dark mindless creatures that roams the earth looking to prey upon all living things."

Link's look of confusion was almost comical, if it weren't for what he said next.

"Which is exactly what a demon is. A dark presence spawned from the Demon King that was sealed away centuries ago. Each and every one birthed for one reason and one reason alone, to choke the life out of everything." He told us simply, no joking expression or smile to show he was joking.

The room became tense from what Link had just exclaimed. Every person in the room was looking at Link, who looked around, confused at all the attention.

"Link," I started, shattering the silence that had surrounded the room. "What makes you think that the Grimm are Demons?" I asked him, curious as to how he could come to such a conclusion. However, that wasn't the only reason…

Demon King… simply put, a leader of the Grimm. The reason he was so sure, might just be related to… her.

"I don't think that these Grimm and the Demons are the same, I know they are." He told me with certainty, his eyes hardening with that statement.

With a quirked eyebrow, I asked him a new question. "Why do you know the Demons are Grimm then?"

"I know because that is what is written in our history books." He told me simply, his eyes softening. "'When the Demons ravaged everything below, the Goddess Hylia sent her people skyward. She created the Cloud Barrier that protects us from them, and fought to seal the Demon King eternally within the earth. With her strength drained, she returned to the heavens and watched over her creations, as the remaining Demons devoured what was below, leaving naught but an empty void.'"

Everyone in the room stared at Link, as he continued with his tale. His hands waving around as he did.

"'With the Demon King sealed, and the Surface destroyed and unreachable, the people of Skyloft lived in peace. None of them having to live in fear of Demons till the end of time.'"

When he had stopped, everyone in the room knew only silence.

'It would seem our young friend has just left them speechless.' I thought to myself, as I considered the young man's words.

A world without Grimm? I have always wished for such an outcome, always hoping that we may finally know peace. However, to actual hear that for centuries, a village has not known the plague that is the Grimm. It was ludicrous, heartwarming, insane, but most importantly…

It was Hopeful.

There was a place in the world that the Grimm couldn't reach. A chance at a world where no one had to fight a seemingly endless wave of monsters. An opportunity to-

"Where's my sword?" The man who brought about the silence asked, as he looked through his belongings. He had pulled out a few objects from the small pouch on his belt. These items included a dry skin filled with what I assume was water, a loaf of bread wrapped in cloth, a small glass bottle filled with a red liquid. He also pulled out a circular wooden shield that was attached to the back of his tunic, along with an empty ornate scabbard.

He picked the shield up and examined it, looking for anything wrong on it's surface. He frowned as he saw the scratch on it's face run from one end to the other. After his inspections,he placed all of the objects he had removed back into his pou-!

Once again, I was left speechless.

He had placed his wooden shield inside of a pouch as big as a my hand. While it happened to see every detail, I knew that he had placed it within his pouch. Everyone stared with wide eyes at the scene that had happened in front of boy was filled with surprises, it seems.

Was it a Semblance of some kind? Or perhaps it was something more...

"Ren," Miss Valkyrie 'whispered' to her friend, as she smiled with Cheshire like grin. "He's a magician!" Mr. Lie Ren acknowledged the statement, but otherwise ignored his friend as he focused on the conversation.

Link sat patiently on the hospital bed, waiting for someone to answer his question. The time to think about his abilities would have to come later.

'Should I tell him?' I thought to myself, thinking of the outcome should I do all, I couldn't just tell him we were preparing to experiment on his sword.

"I have placed your sword in the armory for safety reasons. After all, we couldn't have you tossing and turning next to a sharpened blade." I told him semi-truthfully, as I did take his sword for safety reasons. Whose safety didn't matter at the moment.

"Oh… do you think I could have it back?" He asked me, as he placed his clothes and belongings on a small table near the bed. He looked nervous, perhaps because he was away from his one weapon.

"Unfortunately," I started, as I took a sip of my coffee. "The armory has been locked, as it is past curfew." It was getting quite late, as it was almost midnight. I gave an exception to Team RWBY and JNPR, as all of them were worried their hero. However, it would seem some of them had reached their limit.

"With that said…" I started, taking yet another sip of my coffee. "I believe it's time for everyone to return to their dorms."

"Aww man, come on Professor!" I heard the disappointed cry of Miss Xiao Long. " Grasshopper just woke up! We can at least keep him company until he falls asleep. Isn't that right Rub-" She stopped herself, as she turned around and saw the very reason I asked them to go back to their dorms.

Miss Rose had her head rested on the foot of Link's mattress, as she drooled ever so slightly on the blanket. She was asleep, muttering something about 'heroes with laser swords fighting demon boars.'

"When did she even fall asleep?!" Mr. Arc asked, simultaneously whispering and shouting, as to not wake up the young Rose.

"I think it was right in the middle Link's story." Miss Nikos told him, matching the volume of his voice. I was vaguely aware of the frown that sprouted upon Link's face as she had said this.

"While I agree that it would be unadvised to just leave Link here alone when he has just woken up," I began to explain to Miss Xiao Long, as everyone's attention was once again placed on me. "He is surrounded by some of the best nurses on the continent. He won't be alone for the entire night." I told the young girl, as Miss Schnee nodded by my side.

"Well, yeah, but-" I cut Miss Xiao Long off, not yet finished with my statement.

"Secondly, while Link may have just woken up, he is still recovering from his injuries." I turned to the boy in question, and watched as he back straightened upon my gaze. "He needs as must rest as possible, and for that, I believe a nice quiet room is in order."

"Okay, I get that, but-"

"Yang," Miss Belladonna interrupted Miss Xiao Long, as said girl grew slightly angry from all the interruption. "Just give it a rest."

"Wha-, but, I- ughhhh!" She groaned, throwing her arms in the air. "Fine, but I coming here early!" She told everyone in the room, as she picked up her sister gently. The sleeping Rose barely had any reaction to being lifted up, as Miss Xiao Long gave her a piggy back ride. When she was sure the Young Rose was secure, she made her way to the door.

Every student followed after her, each of them ready for a good nights sleep. Miss Xiao Long gave one more glance towards the boy on the bed, and gave him a smile.

"Thank you." She told him, as she left as quickly as possible. Her team, as well as Team JNPR, followed in suit.

With the room now empty and quiet, I stood from my chair. "Well then Link," I said as I raised myself, getting his attention. "I hope to continue our conversation tomorrow, but until then, have a good nights rest." With that, I turned to leave the room.

"Excuse me?" I heard the Link ask from behind me. As I turned around, I saw Link with his hand slightly raised. "Professor…Ozpin, correct?"

I gave him a nod, showing that he was right.

"Okay, umm…" He hummed to himself while looking down, possibly thinking of a way to state his question. Suddenly, he look me straight in the eye, with a look of seriousness I didn't quite expect. Slowly, he asked his question.

"Have you… seen a blonde haired girl with blue eyes near here at all."

I raised my eyebrow at his question, wondering why he would need to know this.

"Your going to have to be a little more descriptive. I know many people that have such features." I told him truthfully, as there were hundreds of people like that in Vale alone. Not to mention the other thousand people on other continents.

I watched Link sit there, a thoughtful expression over his usual one. Suddenly, he had a look of recollection on his face, as he told me an important detail.

"Her ears are pointed, like mine but longer and sharper." He told me, as my possible candidate list went from a hundred to zero.

"You're the only person I've seen with ears like yours." I told him, seeing no harm in the statement.

His expression became one of dread. "Thank you." He told me simply, as he turned and looked out the window.

"Your welcome." Without another word, I stepped out of the room. Leaving our guest alone with his thoughts.

Grimm

I was furious!

To be unable to move by the Impossible one's blade was utterly humiliating.

To think that I, one of the strongest creatures in her Grace's army, would be forced to be frozen in place.

For hours I've tried to move, tried to find some way to get back to her Grace to report my findings.

All have been met with failure, each failure making my anger rise.

So I lay here, pondering what had brought me to this.

Her Grace…

I was told by her that this would be a simple job, a job that could be done by any of our lesser ancients.

It was given to me though, to make sure that it would be completed. The mission?

Kill as many young prey in this location as possible. Lower the amount of threats to future Brothers and Sisters. However, I had made a mistake, a grave one that had cost me the success of this mission.

I was lax.

I was so sure that I could finish the mission, that I was in no such rush to complete it. I had gathered young ones, hoping to train them and turn them into proper Alpha's.

So, when I had gathered my younger variants, I was shocked to find that there were barely any young prey left. With that thought over my head, I rushed towards the closet prey.

Thus, I tried to kill the tiny creature, only to be interrupted by It.

The Impossible One. He who wields a power that rivals her Grace. He who holds the single Light to fight the overwhelming Darkness that we are.

He who was able to best me in a fight.

I must tell her! I must tell Her Grace about this prey, no…

This Warrior of Light.

With renewed vigour, I tried to move. I thrashed my head around, as to try and find a way to move any of limbs. I tried to move anything…

With no such success.

So I lay there, in the dark of the night, and waited. Perhaps a fellow brother or sister would show themselves, so that I could send them to her Grace with a message.

But the chances of that at-

My ear twitched as I heard footsteps approaching from my left.

C-could it be? I tried to turn my head and look upon the figure. Unfortunately, whoever it was was within my new blind spot created by that Warrior. Whoever it was, it certainly wasn't prey, as I could sense nothing from it. It had to be a brother, nothing else could feel so dark.

So, I tried to get it's attention, not knowing if it had any sort of intelligence.

"Brother!" I told him in our language, not knowing if he was old enough to understand. Though it pains my pride, her Grace must know this. "You must send a message to her Grace!"

Though I could not see him, I could hear his footsteps stop. Good, he had some intelligence, he should be able to repeat this message.

"You must go to her and repeat this. 'Mission failed, an individual with extraordinarily high strength wielding a weapon of powerful light has paralyzed me.'" I told the brother, making sure it was slow so that he memorize it. "'This individual is extremely powerful, and has a power I have never seen in a human. He has the potential to ruin your plans Mistress.'"

"'He wore covering the color of grass, with strange pointed ears I have never seen on any other prey. Should any other Brother or Sister see him, kill on sight! He is too dangerous to be left alive." I told the fellow demon, expressing the importance of the last sentence.

"Do you have it?" I asked the demon, waiting for any sort of response. When he didn't, I kept going. "If you do, head straight for her Grace, and hurry!"

I heard more footsteps, but… instead of going towards her Graces location…

He walked towards me.

"What're you doing, go! This is important, there's no time to wast-" I was interrupting by something startling, something I would have never expected from a brother.

He ran at me…

And stabbed me. Right through my injured eye.

I couldn't even react to the pain, as I felt it's weapon pierce my skull. I felt it go through my brain, the feeling of agony unbearable. When I thought it couldn't get any worse, the pain grew, as I felt it twist and twist.

It felt like centuries had passed, but still it did not stop. It just twisting…

And twisting…

And...twisting.

Then, as if it had never been there before, the pain disappeared. All that was left was a dull throbbing.

"Wh-Why?" I asked, as something came into my now blurry vision. "Why would you do this?" My once booming voice, now but the equivalent of a whimpering young prey.

With that question asked, I heard something that I had never heard from any demon.

Laughter.

He was laughing.

"Wh-who are you?" I asked who- no whatever it is. "What are you?" I asked a different question, trying to know what this… thing was.

There was still laughter, nothing else.

"What are you!?" I roared, trying to get an answer out of this… thing.

Without any warning, I felt swift pain passing through my head. Within an instance, I heard something. However, the pain had drowned out everything. I could only hear bits and pieces of what he had said.

"Y- -r- L-d."

With that, pain erupted all over my body, for another eternity.

However, there was one saving grace…

The pain disappeared, and my presence spread and went back towards Her Grace. I could feel my intelligence disappear, all of my years of live gone.

All memories that could have helped…

Gone.

"There are things that even-

-Demons of the night Fear"
