"My day started out like any other. I was exploring the world around me when it happened, when I met her."

I was in the forest making my way to my personal hideout. A lake with water so clear it couldn't take color. As I approached the lake, I realized my secret hideout wasn't so secret anymore. At first all I could hear was grunts, as if someone was fighting. Trying to stay out of sight I moved closer.

Once I reached the edge of the brush I looked across the lake to see this thing of beauty. A girl couldn't have been much older than me, and I was 8. From what I could tell she has long brown hair and she was wearing simple blue loose fitting clothes, and was swinging a curved stick. As I looked closer I saw that her brown eyes were focused on the falling leafs as she cut them in half with the stick. Before I realized, she had leaped toward the lake and ran across it. Halfway she flies into the air landing on a stick in such grace. Not too long after she lost her balance falling off. Without thinking I ran to see if she was okay, but I got knocked in the head before I could get to her.

Hard to imagine that was two years ago. And all this time we've only grown as friends . She can still beat me up, just now it's on purpose.

"Gold" a female voice whispered. I looked up, the teacher had just asked me a question.

"Would you care to answer Mr. Ergot?"

"Sorry sir, I don't know."

"Very well then, Ms. Torchwick would you like to bail him out?"

The same female voice replied. "Grimm don't have a soul, therefore they don't have arua."

Bell rings

School is now done for the day and the two friends are hanging out back at the lake.

"Thanks for bailing me out back there Mary."

"No problem. By the way what were you thinking of?"

"The day we first met. By the way, weren't you supposed to go home after school?"

"Oh crap I forgot." She grabs her bag leaning against a stomp. "See you in class tomorrow."

"See ya." as he began to walk home, his mind went back to that day. Mary looks towards the injured Gold.

"On my God, are you OK?"

"Me, I'm fine, what about you?"

"I'm OK. Are you sure your alright, you're bleeding?"

I reached up to feel that he was bleeding from above his left eye. "On, hold on." Gold places his hand over his bleeding eyes. As he did this his face showed serious concentration. After a minute and blue light began to radiate from his hand. Another minute or so later and he passed out with a fresh scar where he was bleeding from. When he woke he was in his room, or at least he thought it was his room. It had the same yellow Japanese warrior style, with the same Beacon Academy poster that had Ozpin on it.

As I look up I saw Mary and a man. He was tall, had orange hair and dressed in business casual white with black slacks.

"Oh good you're awake."
