I do not own Elden ring or RWBY,please support the official release.
A dark dusty room worn and decayed. A corpse lying in the center. A faint light illuminates he room before landing on the corpses hand causing it to stir. The no longer corpses eyes shoot wide open and proceeds to suck in as much air as possible in the fetal position.
"*ugh huff* Wh-what happened." Clumsily getting to his feet he stumbles a bit but catches himself and takes a look around. "Where am I?" Looking to his hands he gives a confused look. "I Should be dead, right?" Thinking hard a pain shoots through his head. "*ugh* I'll worry about that la-." Looking at his body he notices a distinct lack of decency. "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY CLOTHES." In disbelief and shock he groans in annoyance. "You know what no, let's just figure out where I am." Giving a tired sigh he notices something peculiar in the corner of his eye turning to face it he notices woman in a chair slumped. "Uhh Hello?"
"..."
Walking closer he called out again. "You wouldn't happen to know where we are do you."
"..."
"Oi I'm tal-" taking a closer look he notices a severe lack of color to her skin. "Oh, apologies." Giving a solemn look he Bends his knee and offer a silent prayer for the deceased. Finishing he notices a bloody club left near the poor woman.
"This is probably what did her in." Pausing for a moment he reaches for the weapon. "well someone's gotta use it." Armed with a club he walks to a wooden double door.
'The exit maybe.' reaching for the door he hesitates for a moment before pushing the door wide open. a large gust of wind slams into his face, shielding his eyes from the wind he slowly grows accustomed to the feeling.
Leaves of gold scattered across the night sky. Broken debris scattered across the grounds. Plant life slowly claiming what was once there's. A fortress' outline off in the distance. "A Giant Fucking Tree." A giant golden tree looming over all, in every direction.
"Who let this thing grow, like that can't be good for anyone at all." Bewildered this lowly Tarnished continued down the path leading to a bridge gazing down the see the fall that awaits him did no wonders to his confused state. Making his way to a giant doorway, the frame of a feminine statue gazing can be seen. Slowly approaching the monument a large monstrosity of limbs leaps on the ground ahead of him. Wide eyed naked and holding a club the monster gives a large creepy smile.
'OHHH FUCK NO.'
GRAFTED SCION
Turning in the opposite direction the tarnished runs for the entrance he came from only for a golden black haze to block his path. Letting out a bone chilling shriek the Scion lunges for his exposed back narrowly dodging its attack. Two handing the club the tarnished proceeds to bash it's skull in. Looking unfazed the Scion licks the blood off its lips and gives a sadistic smile before going on its hind legs and stabbing downward repeatedly, only managing to dodge the first two attacks the tarnished is skewered beyond belief.
Skin being torn through followed followed by yells of agony could be heard slowly turning into gurgles of blood filled lungs. Stabbing one last time the Scion lifts up the tarnished, pleased with its work it walks towards the ledge and tosses the supposed corpse off the cliff.
Walking up to a large house Shade and Autumn approach the Mayors home bearing bad or possible good news.
Stopping in front of the main door of a large well kept home. Shade pauses to knock on the door.
"Shade what are you waiting for?" Autumn asked questioningly looking into his eyes.
"Autumn you've seen the way the mayor is, he has no boundaries for personal space. Doesn't help he's built like an Ox.
"So you don't like that he shows a lot of affection
"That is precisely why, now come on." Sighing he Slaps Autumn on the back he sighed before knocking on the door. After a short pause a voice rang out from the inside. "One moment please." After a short while the door swings open revealing a large 8ft man with wavy short blonde hair, bright blue eyes, wearing a white button attempting to bind bulging muscles.
"SHADE, AUTUMN." Grabbing the two shorter men into a hug squeezing a little too hard for shades comfort. "What do I owe the pleasure of this visit."
"Vester it's about the bandits, as well as the random kid we found." If Shades eyes weren't playing tricks on him the Mayors smile faltered for a brief moment.
"Come in come in." After Shooing them in his home Vester shuts the door behind them.
Once inside Shade watched Autumn look around in awe like all there other visits. Wooden flooring with a slight shine to them revealing they had recently been cleaned. Ornate designs and Beautifully drawn paintings littered the walls. In the center of the room was a pedestal with a glass casing. Inside said casing was a poorly drawn picture of 3 people, above those 3 people were Daddy Me and Mama.
"Sno come down. Autumn and Shade are here." After a moment of silence tiny foot taps could be heard running from the second floor coming down the stairs. "Autumn, Uncle Shade." A small girl with neck length white hair ran up to Shades legs and gave them a hug. Ruffling her hair she looked up revealing a pair of white orbs and a cheeky smile.
"Sno honey why don't you show Autumn your new tea set." Turning to Vester her grin grows wider. As she runs to Autumn she lets out a squeal of excitement. Grabbing Autumns hand she drags him upstairs.
"Shade lets go to my study."
Vesters face now was a great contrast from his earlier look. A stone cold face derived of its joy
'I guess the expression he makes from when we were working under Ironwood hasn't changed. I guess even with all these years away from the military he's still just the same person.' Sighing shade follows after the Burly man. After a short walk they come up on a door that has crayon all over it.
"I see sno's been hard at work." Letting out a light chuckle shade cracks a smirk towards Vester.
opening the door Vester gives shade a smile of his own. "Certainly knows how to keep me and Carnel busy that's for sure."
"Oh that's right, any idea when Carnel's supposed to be back." Shade and Vester enter the room and sit across from each other.
"By the end of the week of her post cards are anything to go off of. Anyways." Looking into Shades eyes Vester gives him his undivided attention. "Give me all the details you can spare I need to know what were dealing with."
Deep in a forest howls of pure agony could be heard. A large tar covered monster with a skull mask could be seen clutching at a beautifully made Greatsword impaling it. Half of the sword was already in it. With a wet shluck the sword seemingly slid deeper into the beast earning another yelp from the Alpha beowolf. Writhing in agony on the grass floor the blade slides deeper to where only the pommel can be seen till nothing of the blade is left. Panting on the ground the Alpha pushes it's self up it's breath slowing with one final exhale a chill of frost coming from behind it's row of teeth. A thousand thoughts running through its mind a few more so than other. Pain, revenge, kill, "prey" growling out the words with hate the Alpha continues through gargled nonsense the alpha lets out more words. "Too weak, need strong." Sniffing the air it catches a whiff of emotions. Following the scent it runs on all fours in the direction of these emotions.
Barreling through the forest at high speeds it doesn't take long for the Alpha to come upon a duo of armed men.
"How long are we supposed to wait till we raid that town." A bald man with a leather jacket wielding a shotgun impatiently taps his feet.
"Vernal said until Raven comes back." Croaking back a response a man with short black hair yawns and grips his spear. "Though, I understand why your so enthusiastic. We haven't done a raid this large in awhile the payout'll be huge."
Stalking the two men the Alpha slowly sneaks up behind them, none the wiser the two men continue their conversation till the alpha is right behind them.
"Hey why'd it get so da-." Turning around the bald man eyes could only bulge in surprise before screaming. "ALP-." The screaming abruptly stopped. With a sickening crunch for added effect. Ripping out the man's throat the Alpha swallowed the remains of the throat before peering down at the black haired man who was planted firmly on his rear. Opening his blood covered maw the alpha lets a cold breath with the stench of raw meat before speaking in a very familiar voice to the man. "Run." Speaking the Alpha watched the man's expression change from fear to absolute terror. Getting up the short haired man ran in a set direction along a path yelling obscenities. Turning away from the man the Alpha bites into the stomach of the corpse and raises it above its head before shaking it violently smothering it's self with flesh and blood. After doing so the Alpha sniffs the air again to chase after the Man while dropping the body of his friend.
A girl with tan skin, light blue eyes and dark brown hair with slightly torn looking outfit. On her left arm a tattoo of a birds soaring out of flowers ending just below her shoulders. Reaching into he pouch she produces a whetstone from it before running it along the edgings of the blades on her weapons. The sound of a pair of footsteps could be heard outside her tent before a man stepped through the flaps of her tent.
"Vernal, any idea when we should be expecting Raven back?"
"No word as of yet, I'm sure whatever's got her attention is more important. But if your wondering about what'll happen if she's not back she gave orders to not attack, apparently they're a few ex atlas military and huntsman."
"Bu-."
"You may leave." Cutting the man off he gives a bow and exits the tent. The fading sun could be seen through the swaying of the flaps. With a deep sigh she continues sharpening her weapons pausing she looks at the roof of her tent with a solemn look. 'Where are you Raven.'
Rushing through the tent the same man crashed in out of breath. "Vernal we have a problem."
"What is it this time." She added some scorn to her voice. Making clear she was not to be disturbed.
Looking away slightly the man opens his mouth. "It's better if you see for yourself."
Closing her eyes she exhales. "Alright take me."
Running out of the tent the man leads the way towards one of there walls before climbing up a set of stairs to see over the wall. Once they peer over the wall the sight of one of there patrolman crawling with a trail of blood behind him a closer look of the man showed that there was a huge gash where his Achilles tendons were supposed to be. A faint plea for help could barely be heard.
"Why hasn't anyone helped him yet." Perplexed by the sight she turns to the man.
"I don't know I just the commotion on the walls before checking it out. You'll have to ask Raj."
Not a moment sooner a hand was placed on her shoulder flinching slightly she turns to see Raj.
A older man with brown hair with some greying mixed in. Wearing leather straps with buckles on them holding his shortened pike rifle that had some age to it, clearly showing he was a veteran of the tribe. Turning to the man crawling he speaks. "At first we saw him crawling along the tree line, we weren't sure at first if he was one of our own. But two of our guards recognized him and jumped down to help him out. They didn't think about what could've put him in that state in the first place heck the man was yelling at them to stay back. Of course it didn't take long for them to find out cause when they reached him one was dragged by the arm by a large claw, the other was dragged by the throat when a large Maw of an alpha appeared from the brush. There was a lot of screaming before it ended after a short while now everyone's too scared to help him." Letting out a dry chuckle he lights a cigarette and puffs it.
Looking at the older man Vernal had to hold a grimace back. Looking back at the man crawling she noticed the rustling of bushes before what could only be the Alpha walked out. A large tar covered creature covered in blood and gore was dragging three corpses one in each arm and one in its jaw all were missing chunks of there throat.
"Heh, must've wanted an audience." Raj let out another puff, Vernal gave a puzzled look before he gestured around them. Men and women had surrounded the top of the gates to check the commotion. Turning back to the Man they continued to watch.
Each step it took was purposely slow before it reached the crawling man. Grabbing the man by one of his legs the look of defeat covered his face. The alpha gestured everyone to look by flailing the body of the man before tearing into the man's throat. The sounds of bone and meat being crushed were audibly heard before it swallowed.
The Grimm began to shake with agony before sharpened bones began to form all over it. Then it noticeably began to grow in size. Once it finished frost began to permeate the monstrosity and the surrounding area. Dropping the man it pointed a claw to them before opening its blood covered maw growling the words "NEXT." Before turning toward the descending sun disappearing into the forest.
No words were uttered every one just stared at back of the beast staring on in silent horror. Vernal turned towards Raj who's cigarette was barely hanging in his mouth. "D-double guard duty." Stuttering her words. Raj just gave a silent nod.
