What if Jaune was the prince of a land beyond the borders of the Four Kingdoms of Remnant?

Jaune x Blake

RWBY/The Lion King


In a distant land in the world of Remnant, there exists several small kingdoms where Faunus (humanoids with animal features) live in joyful harmony. They coexist with humans, yet they don't receive the prejudice and hatred that many humans in areas like Vale receive due to being what they are. And not only do these Faunus kingdoms coexist with humans, but they actually live in harmony amongst the other normal animals that live in the area.

And in a kingdom that greatly resembles the grasslands of our world's African Savannah, the animals, humans and Faunus alike were all drawn to a specific area through a special type of connection they possess. For they knew that only one thing could possibly have happened.

It is time…!

An heir has been born into the royal family of a kingdom known as the Lunar Lands; where the moon shines her brightest on the land, no matter what phase she's in. A falcon Faunus was flying to the castle, which was really just a rock formation in the form of a crescent moon with a den inside, and landed on the platform where the king stood. The falcon Faunus bowed to his King, a smile on his face, and the king nodded in greeting with a smile of his own as his happiness was most prominent.

The king is a Lion Faunus with a black mane, a set of auburn lion ears on his head in addition to his human ears, and a lion tail with auburn fur and a black tuft of fur at the end. He was muscular, but more lean and compact like a runner, meaning that he was built more for speed rather than power. And he had a single scar over his left eye, although he can still see out of it. His skin is a dark tan, and his green eyes hold great wisdom along with the happiness and pride that one often gets when they become a father. He was currently dressed in a shirt and pants that were made from animal skins, and his smile grew as he saw the crowd of humans, Faunus, and animals part as someone new walked up.

It was an old friend of the family, a human woman with blonde hair, glasses, and pale skin. She was very beautiful and was wearing a traditional shaman's gown for this ceremony. The smile that is not normally seen on her face made her look even more radiant and alluring than she normally was.

When she reached the platform, she and the king shared a hug like one that siblings would give each other.

"It's so good to see you again, Glynda. You are looking very well today." says the king.

"Good to see you again too, Taka. You're looking handsome as ever. In fact, if you weren't married I'd try to keep you to myself." Glynda said with a laugh. "Just don't tell your wife I said that."

"I heard that!" said a joking voice from within the den.

King Taka and Glynda walk into the den to see a lioness Faunus laying on a bed of moss, purring in happiness as she held a small bundle in her arms.

Like Taka, she too has lion ears and a tail in addition to her human features, but the fur on those is beige instead of auburn. She also has a stripe of darker beige on her forehead and amber colored eyes. She was only wearing an animal skin dress, and was staring lovingly at the tiny creature in her embrace.

She gave a loving lick to the baby (remember, Faunus are partially animals.), causing it to turn around and look up at its father and Glynda. It was a baby boy with a tuft of blonde hair on his head, ocean blue eyes, and a tiny set of lion ears on his head. They were auburn like his father's, but unlike his, the baby's lion ears had a black rim on the edges. Taka smiled proudly at his son, knowing he would grow up to become a great protector someday.

Glynda pulled a necklace of beads (prayer beads) out from her sleeve, and began the ceremony. She began rattling the beads over the boy's head, possibly as a way to ward off evil spirits and keep them from corrupting the young Faunus. The baby smiled and reached for the beads, thinking they were some sort of baby toy. Naturally, this made his parents smile in happiness and pride, seeing their child was so playful and curious at this stage of life.

With the first part of the ceremony complete, Glynda put the beads away and pulled out a special ceremonial fruit that only grew and ripened at a specific time once every year. And even then, they only stay on the vine for a day or so before rotting away. The woman held the fruit over the baby's head and proceeded to break it in half. She then used her thumb to get some of the juice and paste out of the fruit, and gently drew a set of three crescent moons on the little boy's forehead.

Next, she poured some sands out of a pouch she brought with her and blessed it before sprinkling it over the child. The dusty substance tickled the little boy's nose and made him sneeze cutely. The proud mother of this child nearly d'aawed at the adorableness of her little one.

Finally, Glynda picked up the child in her arms, and with King Taka's blessing, she walked up to the edge of the platform where the crowd was waiting in anticipation. Glynda adjusted her grip on the child, and raised him up for all of the Kingdom's inhabitants to see.

Their reaction was a thunderous roar of applause at the sight of their prince. The reactions were all positive and very loud. Zebras reared up and whinnied, elephants trumpeted, monkeys screeched, rhinos grunted, hippos snorted, and the cheetahs, jaguars and leopards roared.

But the animals weren't the only ones to show a positive reaction. The humans were cheering in a thunderous applause while several types of Faunus had their own reactions. Wolf Faunus howled and barked, horse Faunus neighed, gorilla Faunus whooped and beat their chests with their fists, and fox Faunus yipped in acceptance.

The crowd of animals, humans, and Fauna then proceeded to bow in acceptance of their new prince. They were confident that like his father before him, the prince would become a king who would do everything in his power to protect his kingdom and its inhabitants, and defend the Circle of Life.

Glynda brought the child down and cradled him in her arms again. Taka and his wife, Zira, walked over and proceeded to fawn over their new son. This was a truly momentous day for the kingdom, indeed.

"He is truly adorable, my friends." Glynda said. "I'd like to thank you both again for allowing me to be his babysitter."

"It's no trouble at all, Glynda. You are like the sister I never had, and are more than qualified to babysit my son in my book." Taka replied.

Zira tickled her son under his chin, causing him to giggle before latching onto the digit and suckling it. She smiled at her child, knowing he would grow into a king that would someday make them all very proud.

"We still have to name him." Zira said.

Taka looked at his child. There were many things he wanted to name his child, like Mohatu or Kovu, but…

"He looks like a Jaune to me." Taka said.

"Jaune?" inquired Zira.

"Why not? He just looks like someone who fights more to protect others, rather than just for the sheer thrill of it. Plus, the name just fits." Taka explained.

Zira looked back to her child and saw that he was now fast asleep, still suckling her finger as if it were a binky. She smiled and gently took her finger back before brushing a stray bit of baby hair out of her son's face.

"Jaune… I love it."

Young prince Jaune was sure to go on many wild and crazy adventures as he got older, but little did anyone know was that fate has deemed the young Faunus worthy of taking part in the most important battle in all of history…

The battle between light and shadow…
