I have spent many days recovering from the last Grimm encounter while King was put on 'Babysit the human' duty. It's not all bad though, for example, it turns out I have an Aurora. Eda had to unlock mine to speed up my recovery. As Eda stated all living things have souls so all living things have Aurora's, it's just that humans never discovered theirs, I did ask 'Doesn't that mean I have magic?' The answer I got was 'No' because Faunus and Florus can perform magic because they have a bile sack and humans do not, well at least I may or may not get a semblance.
Now those are tricky and that's because not everyone has the same semblance, the only exception is Eda and her sister, they are the only ones ever to have the same semblance. Another problem is there is no one trigger for one's semblance, some people can go their whole lives without ever finding out their semblance, at least I have my own personal shield. There are some downsides, like being a Grimm magnet... Although I don't think I'll notice the difference, I swear there's a fish Grimm every other Tuesday. Increase appetite is another one and I'm part snake too, so I need to eat a lot. Anyway my Aurora is not the only new thing, Eda gave me a Scroll, granted it was stolen.
But now I can look up thing on their version of Internet, which means I have all the information in this world. Fun fact this planet is called Styx, very fitting and unlike our world their water to natural land ratio is 90-10. There is a 'but' the corpses of Titans make up all the land that Faunus and Florus dwell on. Another fun fact is Styx is the only terrestrial world in their system, the 9 other planets are gas giants, two are close to their star and the other 7 are behind Styx. I can go on forever about this, but I will show restraint. She also gave me a note book she recently made, to give me bief summaries about Grimm she encountered, it was frustrating (It even shows in her writing) but necessary. She did not want a repeat of what happened last time.
She has also been out hunting a lot, being more through in her searches, this has lead to not too much training. Surprisingly magic lessons online are heavily limited by the emperor, he really doesn't want anyone except those in his coven to learn all magic. Once I got better, Eda made time for us to get a lesson in. For this lesson, she says we had to go to the beach. I have never been more excited in my entire life. I wonder if there's a spell that will turn me into a mermaid?
...Yeah, all my joy I ever had just died and somehow I doubt I will be learning any mermaid spells. It was not pleasant and she made me grab a slime ball. So I slithered away while thinking about all this. Maybe it's just not for me, oh wait, I just heard a mysterious voice of encouragement. No, it's a wi- right not witch, that is going to take some getting used to. I think she is a Florus I can't tell what type though, it also doesn't help that I don't have a 'Green thumb' so to speak.
There was nothing with her either except for the small green bulbs in her hair. I decided to quietly observe, she seems so sweet, heck she is literally healing a plant she accidentally stepped on. Now I think I know what she is Sakura tree variant, she blooms either when she happy and/or casting plant magic. Oh wait drama, ok so far this cat girl is a jerk, wow I really don't like her. You know what I'm going to stick my tongue at her. Oh cool, I never realized I had a snake tongue.
OW som-!?! "AHAHAAAAAGGAGSG!?! Oof!" Ok... ow, my tail. Am I staring at the face of death? Nope just a girl with regets, I try to comfort her by pointing out how the thorns didn't went that deep. The bulbs are back at now I can confirm my suspicions "So are those Sakura flowers?" She laughed "I don't know what that is, but no, I'm more of a azalea shrub(1) variant. In fact that's how I got my name, my dad thought I was a dappled Willow when Papa corrected him." Then she got in my face and how odd my ears are, I got self-conscience, wait... Why am I worried? I paraded myself in front of a crowed and even let people take pictures of me "Well you see, I'm a human." She did not look impressed.
Her eye was twitching "How dumb do you think I am?" Right I need proof. Now had returned the key and the door previously, but luckily I got a scroll with Eda and Kings number. First I have to pacify the dangerous plant girl "Wait I can prove it, just let me send a text." So I texted the little beach peach and got rejected. I texted again, I was once again ignored "Come on King." I texted one last time and finally got results. The bell did ring, but unknown to me Willow was in no hurry to get to school(2). Then Hooty shows up for some reason "Uhh, Hooty what are you doing here?" not that I don't like his company I'm just confused.
Hooty was the middle man apparently "King says he is too busy indoctrinating a child soldier to help you." Oh for crying out loud! At least he had good news "But he did send me to help. -retches-" and an owl pellet comes out and burst open to reveal the brief case door. Then he does it again only it contained the key, I understand that the man has no arms, but this was not necessary. I tried to be grateful "Umm, thank you Hooty." Then he left, leaving me to remove the door and key from the gross pellet gunk. So I open the open the magical door, which already caught Willow's interest and went through, sadly forgetting one little detail "So-AAHHGFGG!?" Why am I never prepared for that.
She come through to get a closer look "So you are a human? This is astounding! A human on the boiling Isles! What are you doing here!?" But then she had a moment of pause then got sad again. She shook her head "No, I can't delay the inevitable any longer, it was nice to meet you though, but I have to get to class." Wait she can't leave yet! She has to know how cool she was! So I stop her give her the praise she deserves and then I learn that she goes to MAGIC SCHOOL. Ah man I wanna- wait, I just had a fiendishly clever idea, I tell my grand plan to Willow.
She did had her own input on the plan though "Well you'll have to be, covered head to toe... or tail? In abomination goo and I might need to call my friend Augustus in order to hide your eyes(3). He is from the illusion coven and is a prodigy, so it should be easy." Oh cool there was an 'Augustus' back in my school who we called 'Gus' he was cool. This is a great plan, wait I'm stuck I'll just- "BWAAHH!" I fell over. So we made our way to Hexside and I am so beyond excited. Willow did told me to keep my head down, at least until we meet the other 'Gus' it was pretty boing having to sit in darkness while also sitting in goop. It also didn't help that the goop was cold and me being cold blooded made it a even worse experience.
I managed to hear a new voice "Hey Willow, so you really met a human!?" I can hear Willow shushing him "Pft, humans, I haven't seen any Whaaa!" The next part made me giggled. Gus deadpanned "You do realize we're the only ones in the hallway right?" I can just picture her embarrassed face. She cleared her throat "Right, before I show you, promise to be cool." Gus promised in a adorable fashion. Op that's my que "Ta-da, I'm a blight on society." Willow was reprimanding me on my acting skills, but my joke seems to hit well, I was confused when she ask me how I knew Amity's last name. I got to see her friend for the first time, I didn't notice any animal or plant traits "So what exactly are you?" I hope that wasn't too rude. Gus smiled and pull out a grape, he gave it toss and got it with a super long tongue "A frog!" Nope he said he was a chameleon variant, specifically a Veiled chameleon. He was excitable dude and according to Willow he was a 'Human Expert' now I didn't know what to expect but not this.
I was pretty certain I heard him correctly when he asked Where's my P.I.P. boy, still it made me say what(4). And he continued "Unless your not from a vault, what part of the wasteland are you from?" I had to know. I ask where he got his information from and sure enough he pulled out two games I thought he pull out, Nuclear Winter Wonderland 3 and NWW: Los Vegas "From these two interactive documentaries." I don't believe it. I had to know more "Surely you have video games in this world." Both Gus and surprisingly Willow blushed. If he didn't realized it before, he certainly knows now "I had never had video games before or even seen them." Willow added how she was in the same boat. This can't be "But you must had some games on your scrolls... Right?" They both pull out, what I soon realize where their versions of flip phones(5), the boiling Isles 'flip phones' looked like metal cover books "We can only call, text, write notes, or take pictures." These poor souls. The bell decided to spare them from the pain... Wait we don't have a game plan yet!
Gus looked nervous "Uhh, I will try to sneak in your class!" Now me and Willow are just as if not more nervous than Gus. Willow told me to go back into the darkness below, I hissed at which scared her, so I apologized soon after. Willow managed to bring me to her class, not only was able to hear everything, but I was also able to take a peek at occasions. The guy always seems to have his abomination carry him and he himself looked normal except for his kangaroo legs(6). This guy is very strict and unfortunately for me and Willow, he sounds like a perfectionist. It kinda hard to follow some of the lessons, but that's only cause I just got here and I have questions I can't ask right now. I also got a closer look at the jerk, she only has a brown cat like tail, I can't tell what species she was(7).
After some time in class Willow signals me that Gus is inside the class. Soon we were up, I gave Willow word of encouragement and we were off. As much as I want to put on a show, the is to pass off as an abomination, that and I shouldn't give Gus are hard time. I gently push off the top and rise, I made the best deep 'Zombie' noise I can make without opening my mouth too much or show my fangs, that would have been a giveaway(8). He didn't looked that impressed, but at least it doesn't look like he suspects anything... I don't think "Mmmm, interesting, you know Miss Park this seems to be a step up from the previous failures that you presented in the past." Uh oh.
Don't worry Willow I believe in you "Yes well, admittably it didn't start off like that, in fact it was practically a puddle. Amity though gave me some encouragement after seeing how bad it was, so I pulled everything together last minute and was surprised how well it turned out." Not going to lie I panicked at the first half. Dude seemed to be contemplating something "Amity is this true, was Willow project a disaster at first, before you gave her encouragement?" Good Amity agreed, though she is glaring at Willow. He nodded and continued asking Willow questions "Alright then due try not to pull off anymore 'last minute' adjustments Miss park, it's bad practice. Now can your abomination step out of the cauldron?" Nope that would be a giveaway. When Willow said 'They are pretty much stuck in the pot' he grumbled wrote something down "Can they speak?" Mmm, I can't say anything too complicated, what can I- AH HA! Payback time "Urrr-R-Starrrr" oh it is glorious to see her eye twitch, suck it Blight.
He closed his eyes in thought "...You pass, barely." Must. resist. cheering. I got to wait for the final que. Willow thanked her teacher and told me to 'Cower' and down I went and she places the lid back on. Willow took the cauldron back to her seat and we wait for Amity's turn, however something unexpected happen "Before we begin I like to make an announcement. I'll like to move the title of top student to Willow. Quiet down... Let me finish, as you are all well aware this class has been doing terribly apart from miss Blight here. I NEED to see improvements in this class, so I will give the title of top student to our most improved classmate, hopefully this encourages some of you to strive to do better. I rather not fail the vast majority of my class." Wow I like him as a teacher(9). Amity didn't like his decision "Professor Hermonculus, I thought top student was for the best of the best." There is definitely a pause as everyone went silent, is she gonna get rekt? The answer was yes "Really? And you do not think that someone, who you personally encourage to be better, deserves it?" I had to peek and it was worth it, she is biting her lip to avoid further embarrassment, oh how I want to laugh at her face.
Then the bell rang and everyone left "Do try to keep up the good work Miss Park, I hate to have to fail you so soon." Willow promises to keep it up which means future classes for me! Oh... Amity is here to cause drama, I wait for her to leave, before reassuring Willow "Don't worry she is just jealous." Gus agreed with me, once Willow was reassured, the three of us went to lunch. This is very good cause I'm starving... Wait how am I gonna get fed? We made it to the cafeteria, but Gus and Willow were struggling with how they were gonna fed me without it being suspicious, I hope they can manage because I might just eat the nearest student if I don't get fed... Probably not, but you get the point I'M HUNGRY! I peek out to look at them to see if they thought of anything, they started whispering "Frick what can we do? If I feed her it's gonna look suspicious. I might be bad at abominations, but even I know they don't eat." Lucky I was get saved by Gus.
He says at the normal volume "Bleh! I told my dad I hate PBJ." He then use the cauldron as a trash can, YES FOOOD! Huh, oh right, so Willow plays along "Augustus can you please, not use my cauldron as a trashcan, it will mess up my abomination." Mmm, that... Didn't fill me up as I hope it would, I sill hungry(10). I peek out again just in time to see Gus brought a school lunch plate full a food, then he angry whispered when he noticed me "Huh, I just gave her an entire sandwich! Not only that, but I love PBJ!" Willow put some thought into it. She whispered back "It could be, that being a snake Faunus, she has a bigger appetite." Oh wait we never told Gus did we. Gus confronted Willow on that "What do you mean a snake Faunus? I thought she was a human?" Willow then explained her witnessing the transformation thing, that she didn't get enough time to explain it to him beforehand.
Him seemed slightly skeptical, but goes with it "I want to see this transformation later, but we have a problem." He looks back at said problem, that being me. Willow had a solution, she ask Gus in a normal volume "Hey Augustus, could you try to sweet talk the lunch guy into giving me more food? It can be your apology for using my pot for a garbage can." He went with the plan, hopefully he brings me something filling. After some time he comes back with a full plate and then 'Trips and accidentally' falls in such a way, that his hand touches the food. Willow feigns disgust "Gross you ruined it, one task and you couldn't even do that." Gus apologized and gave me more food and I think Willow gave him a deadpanned look, I wouldn't know, I'm too busy eating. Something did give me pause, when I heard a loud bang followed by the voice of the infamous cat girl Amity Blight "I KNEW IT!" There was another long pause before Gus and Willow asked her what she meant.
Then I heard her yell out again and I think I might be done for "Abominations don't eat!" I had to keep myself from laughing when I heard this next comeback. Gus without missing a beat "Yeah everybody knows that and I thought you that, being formally 'Top student' in the abomination track." I wondered if she blushed, get rekt, Blight. She was not deterred however "N-No, you're secretly feeding an imposter, pretending to be her abomination!" Dang wait she is spot on! Willow had a counter argument "I like to point out my abomination wasn't even perfect. Our professor even said I barely passed, are you really that upset about the 'top student' situation, I didn't even plan that and you know what? Your just upset because I'm no longer at the bottom!" Then Amity yelled "I'LL PROVE IT!" I coil up. Then it turned out to be unnecessary "AMITY BLIGHT!!" turns out that was a bigger commotion than I thought.
She didn't even get to remove the lid "I suspected a twinge of jealousy, when I removed your title of top student, but it seems that the title has made you feel entitled to act so poorly. This saddens me Miss Blight, you were my favorite student. I want to see you at the principle's office." Amity did try to save herself "But if-" he was having none of it. He wasn't done though "I do apologize Miss Park, I do hope you know that I do not condone such behaviors. Mr Porter I am disappointed that you show a blatant disregard for a project she tirelessly worked on, I'll be writing a letter to your teacher about your behavior as well, I will only spare you once from the principal if only due to your friendship with Miss Park. There better not be a repeat, good day." And the man left. While this is good news I'm still hungry and thirsty, their gonna hate this, but I peek out of the pot. I hear I groan from Gus, I'm crying inside, it's not my fault "I'll steal more food after lunch, now get back down." I'm still peeking. This made him even more mad "Now what!?!" Willow figure it out and say 'She probably needs water too.' The poor man slumps in his seat. Willow helps reassure me "Don't worry we'll help keep you fully nourished." I head back into darkness. Later Gus and Willow did steal some food and water, dumped it to the pot with Gus having only this to say "Remind me NOT to befriend anymore snake Faunus, the upkeep is just a hassle." I couldn't tell what else was happening, I was just happily enjoying my meal and drinks. We had one more class to go to before free period.
Later we make it to the classroom and I need out, snakes don't sweat, I really don't like being half snake. I ask Willow if she can help get this off and maybe help cool me down, Gus was the one to do this actually, apparently there is a lot more to his illusions. I got dry be a towel illusion and cooled by a fan illusion. I can't help, but say my thoughts "I didn't think you could do this with illusions" turns that was not the case. Gus chuckled "You can't, I have a semblance that lets me shape and mold light into a more solidified state. Combined that illusions and I become a real menace." Dang that's cool, I really want my semblance to be just as cool.(11)
You know what this calls for a high-five... This the saddest thing I ever seen, I stare at Willow judging her silently "What?" I point out the obvious "You never gave him a high-five?" She says there was never a opportunity. Then the door opens and I froze because there was Amity, the professor, and what I assumed was the principal all here, while I'm not in disguise... Why are they not reacting to me? I look around and I see Gus doing a spell behind his back, he is MVP! Looking at the principal other than the 'thing?' On his head I see nothing out of the ordinary, like with Gus his traits(12). I just hope he can keep this up "Good afternoon students." Willow politely asked what are they doing here.
The professor was first to speak "You see I was concerned with how Amity was acting and when I brought my concerns to Bump, he gave me a wonderful idea, one that I might enact in class to see if we get those grades up." Amity looked like she sucked a lemon. The principal was next "I thought why not start a group project, that way you can work out any grievances, the two of you might have." Ok, but when are they gonna leave, I'm not sure how long can Gus keep this up. The professor spoke again "I figured we can go over on how you made your abomination, see what corrections can be made, go over what you manage to get right in your adjustments. Then finally maybe getting Amity here to see that you're an equal and deserve fair treatment." Nice and dandy, but does it have to be right now?! Willow tried to make them go away "Um, I'm not sure if I can work with Amity." While Willow was talking Amity narrowed her eyes, then smirked. Oh no, that smirk means cat shenanigans, we don't need cat shenanigans right now!
She starts walking towards us "Willow I want to put the past behind us. We were friends once that had a falling OUT!" she stepped on Gus's foot which revealed me. I don't normally curse and I'm not going to curse, but if I were to I would say '*' this is bad. We were saved by Gus's high-five and I was lifted up by Willow and we high tailed it out of there. Three things to point out: One is Willow is a fricken beast of a 14 year old and two is I got to ask to train with her, finally is snake are not ment to move around with a full stomach and Willow's bouncy ride is not helping. I still have to apologize to Willow seeing how it's my fault, despite how sick I am "Willow I want to say I'm sorry, I just want to see what magic school is like." Willow seems to forgive easy... And looks like there is a magical security system, just great.
Principal Bump found us and now has a abomination task force, it just keeps getting better. We run and eventually hide, Willow is feeling down, we can't have that, so I tell her how she is great and how we can be resourceful. Ok what do I got in my pocket? Wait that slime ball was a seed, I guess Eda's teachings weren't useless. Holy frick Willow is crazy good with plant magic, is that cause of skill or are Florus just naturals with plant magic, probably the first thing. She carries me again and we head out, or tried too had it not been for the mangy cat, is she still on about that badge "Girl get a life." She did not appreciate that.
In fact it made so mad she narrowly shot purple flames at me, when we ran, she sent an abomination for us. Then we got surrounded by abominations, Willow used her plant magic to toss me out, the last thing I see was the abominations closing in on her before the doors shut. I can't save her, but I know who can, I slither as fast as possible... I'm probably going to puke later. That took longer than it should have and I did puked cause of stupid full stomach, it didn't even matter cause Willow and Gus caught up to me, I... Well can't say I puked for nothing because at time, I thought they were endanger. I got to hear the good news though, Willow is in the plant track now, Amity will still not be Top student and would be forced to do a group project with the lowest grade student.
I can't wait to go to school with them again, oh wait no I'm banned, well I know Eda enough that she will like this. I offered to introduce them to Eda and show Gus my human form, after food and drinks. I got to tell Eda my whole day, apologize to her, and even exchanges numbers with my new friends. Gus was overjoyed at my human form and nearly passed out on the idea of a doorway to the human realm. He also liked his new nickname Gus... Right I ever got to call him Gus during the entire adventure. Willow was happy to take me as a workout buddy, so I can eventually say bye to nerd arms.
Not All Monsters Are Grimm
So it's been many days since the school incident, I got to spend time with my new friends, I got to learn a little bit about potions. It was great, currently I'm filming a very important documentary on 'The King of Grimm' with his natural pry, the ducky sock. Later after he got my attention... I mean I was paying attention, paying close attention to his lessons on Grimm. He began "Creatures like me are cruel and murderous harbingers of the twilight. Creatures of tar and bone-" I also added 'Cute little paws' the little guy seems tired of my nonsense, lol. He did concede however "... And cute little paws, true. We only live to spread misery and destroy those who remain. Our only weakness is Purified water and passive-aggressive comments-" I had to interrupt him. How to put this gently "Eda says in her notes, that their weaknesses are not purified water and passive-aggressive comments." I was not gentle enough it seems.
Giving an angry 'What' he ask to see the note book, I gave it to him and he had a lot to say "Eda never consulted me when making this! I'm literally a Grimm, I'm a expert on this, there is not even that much information on here!" I decided to defend her. I brought up one detail "To be fair, Eda doesn't do 'Writing reports' I'm surprised that she wrote as much as she did. She also focuses on three main details on each Grimm: Looks, capabilities, and how to best avoid them. There's also the fact that Eda says you're not a Grimm." He still wasn't having it. He was very insistent "I am too a Grimm, like you cannot pretend that we don't look alike." I brought up Humans and Neanderthals, but that only seemed to confuse him. Then we heard thunder, when he spoke of rain, I instantly wanted to go outside. I love the- "OW! King you bite my ankle!?" He had good reason in all honesty "Super acidic rain? Do you not have that in your world?" I looked it up of their Internet.
I ignored Hooty in onder to check my phone, yep, their oceans have a P.H. of 2 so definitely not safe for me to be outside. Fun fact over 90% of plants develop counter measures against this, but very few animals have any natural defense, so animals have to hide and wait it out. Interestingly enough Florus have a natural defense against the rain while the Faunus do not.(13) Then we are Eda coming by... How is she protected? I'll ask- "OOOoof!" I got tackled by a grown woman. At least me and King became boo-boo buddies, I swear if anyone harms him, I will bite them so many times they'll die before they realize they have venom running through their veins.
Moving on, Eda placed a magical shield around the house to protect us from the rain. Which means Eda would have no choice, but to teach me some real magic, potions are fine. It's too much like magical chemistry or cooking for my taste and I should have an easy time convincing her, thanks to her love of shiny objects. So I managed to get her to teach me a spell, so my first spell is going to be light spell, IT WAS SO PRETTY!! Ok so she ask me where does magic come from, I was gonna say it comes from the heart, but then I realized I can look it. I don't think that would be censored by the emperor, oh wait it does come from the heart and apparently they only have one lung, I looked back up and realized Eda was not impressed with me looking up the answers.
Note to self answer before looking it up, how ever this did pose a problem, how am I gonna cast spells if I need special organs, I not 'Frankenstein' said organs to me. So I asked Eda to let me record it, I decided to use my new scroll to record it, SHE DIED AGAINNN!(14) No wait, King says she is just out cold, I placed my head to her chest and to my relief she was breathing. I didn't want to leave her on the floor, but I still have nerd arms, while King is... Well tiny, so this was a real predicament.(15) I decided to try to place her on the couch, it's the closest, I really hope she doesn't kill me later.
So now here I was, going over what Eda taught me with as much success as one attempting to do their favorite Jutsu in real life, no progress. This is hopeless, I am now reminded how I was a nobody back home and no one took me seriously. King says he has an idea I can try if only I promised after I learn the spell, I sit down and learn about Grimm with him. I agreed and told me about a potion that Eda drinks regularly to get a energy boost. Now I have been learning potions from Eda, so how dangerous this, potions work to bring certain magical properties internally that would otherwise be difficult to do so externally.
It why healing magic is good at healing physical external injuries and potions is used sometimes for internal problems, keyword sometimes. Much like earth medicine, potion is sometimes not the answer and can make a problem worse, potions have a fragile setting that either it works or goes worse case scenario. That is potions are super precise and deal with a very specific thing. I can't drink it out right, that's a death sentence, I need to look at the ingredients. I need to add my weight, my hight, and even take my species... Well maybe not species, although better safe than sorry.
The point is, if I go this route, it's going to be for the long haul, no instantaneous results and It will be behind Eda's back. I'm desperate, so Me and King snuck up stairs to steal the potion we need, King nearly died to a '*' bear trap set in her room. Were it not for me, that would have been it for King, I'm going to scold that mad woman for this when she wakes up. This was the first time I cursed out loud, by mistake "Who '*' places a '*' bear trap in their room!... Oh sorry King." He said it was fine as Eda has said far worse, another thing to reprimand her for. We found the potion, but one teeny tiny problem "No list of ingredients, of course what did I expect from Eda!" And it got worse when lightning struck.
Oh blood pressure, how do you rise, right because that sound scared me so bad THAT I DROP THE '*' POTION. Lucky I got a therapy dog named King "It's okay she probably has more potions somewhere." He said this as he was nuzzling me, I cuddle him back. Then when we heard Hooty screaming and once that stopped the lights went out. I seen horror movies, just don't towards the sound, however we were wondering if he was okay so we went to check anyway. Okay so Hooty is possibly dead and pointed out how it might be the Snaggleback, why does he look so happy?
Ah, Grimm lessons of the up close and personal variety, No thank you. King wasn't gonna let it go easily "Well what about Eda, she's currently defenseless and it's only a matter of time, before it comes down stairs." I have a better counter point. I tell him to his cute little face "Since it's upstairs, we just have to board it up, and Eda..." Life just hates me. Eda is gone, possibly killed by the Snaggleback and I'm on the floor crying. No... I have to get King to safety, Eda would want me to do that, the door and Key is the answer which are upstairs. That is right where the creature is at, '*' me. Me and King get some improvised armor and weapons and slowly head up stairs.
We head into the room, the coast seems clear, we both checked out Eda's bed. I already miss her, I looked in the Grimm notes and read about the Snaggleback. Of the few notes says: Hunts during rain, will more than likely drag you out in the rain and either make others watch you or it watches you suffer in the rain, may also just slowly naw on you in the rain. There was a avoidance note: When raining just hide and think happy thoughts, no seriously, Grimm detect negative emotions and emotions are amplified by an unlocked Aurora. This makes me mad, you know what "King go get your Grimm books, Eda's notes only tells me how to avoid the problem not how to kill it. Once I find the door, I'm putting you in the human realm and your staying there until I come get you." King tried to argue, but I gave him a look that said 'There will be no arguments' and he left, the boiling isles gave me fangs and I'm gonna use them!
King's P.O.V. After he got the Grimm books
I can't believe Luz doesn't want me to help, I'm the King of Grimm and Luz isn't the only one that liked Eda. I can't believe she's gone, however I can't wrap my Skull around something. Hooty can take on Grimm bigger than this house, so did he go down so easily? Snagglebacks are tormenter so why didn't we see Eda outside? There is one last question, but Luz can answer it "Do you want the first or second editi- LUZ!?! THE SNAGGLEBACK GOT HER!! No, no crying only vengeance, WEH!!!" I grab her torn hoodie (only the hood part) and charged the shadow that went pass me!
Well I found the Snaggleback, this Grimm looked liked if you fused a near skeletal human with long teeth and claws to the belly of a spiked turtle shell. They are not comically large, but surprisingly thin and numerous. Unlike normal Grimm the bone like shell is black while it's flesh is white, give me an almost unnerving look, the eyes are painful to look at and I... Bravely stood against my foe! I manage to sound intimidating "Uh, there n-no where for you to run!" I threw Luz' hoodie at it, now that I think about it that was a terrible idea. It bounced off with no effort and one could swore it chuffed at my efforts, mocking me as it crawls closer. I try a different tactic, using my authority as King of Grimm "Hey, hey I am King of Grimm I command you barf my friends back up!" It did not and I start to realize as I back and close his eyes... I'm not the King of
-Crash- I open my eyes to see a new beast show up, it made short work of the Snaggleback, reducing it to black mist. Understandably I thought it was on my side, until it tried to decapitate my head, then I was on the run! It was on my tail, quite literally in this case, I had no idea how long I will need to run until I got snatched. Once the creature was gone I saw who my new captor was, THANK TITAN SHE LIVES "Luz!" I give her a hug.
Luz' P.O.V. Right at this moment
Oh my God, King is alive, I so worried that the Snaggleback got him. When as me where I went I filled him in on what he miss "Right when left I couldn't find the door anywhere, so I thought about looking in Eda's nest. Then the Snaggleback, which by the way I say your drawing was false advertisement, I... Don't laugh, but somehow I managed to tripped, with no legs. I was in the nest where my favorite hoodie got ruined and I nearly lost my head then booked it out of there. I got to say all that slithering around has me beat, I just need a quick rest" I curl up near the wall. Then King pull something off 'belly?' of my snake half. Turns of the creature was -Crash- "EDA!?" I duck and bit her arm then she shook me off and causing my human phone to fall and flashed Eda. That flash was the only thing that gave me enough time to hide where King's at.
After I distracted her when she got close by, I asked him what happened to her. King started babbling "Don't you see, the elixir we took doesn't give Eda powers, it prevents her from turning into THAT THING! She turned into a nightmare and it's all my fault. I'm sorry Luz, I told you about the potion because I wanted to be into Grimm like your into magic... Well that's not true, I just wanted your attention, to care about a creature like me. It turns out I'm not a Grimm, I'm not a Faunus or even a Florus, I'm friendless unknown creature that nobody pays attention to." I really messed up. Time to make it right "King, it's not your fault, I was so desperate to be a real witch I disregarded the possibility of her needing that potion. Besides as the oldest I should of thought better-" I couldn't help, but giggle when he retorted with the fact he's the oldest. I snap back "Mentally I'm the oldest, so I should have known we shouldn't have done it. I should have been paying more attention to you... So let's finish the lesson. I know she is not a Grimm, but whatever you possibly know is better than nothing." And this he got planing. So he pointed out about how the flash momentarily stun her, well my human phone is out because I never picked it up, that leaves the scroll. Nope it's out too, it doesn't have a flash, which is dumb!
King points out the light spell, yeah that's definitely out, I pull up the dumb recording on the scroll. Absent-mindedly playing with the filters, until I notice lines in the circle "Oh yeah, scientist haven't really got to explain those yet. Belos cuts any kind of funding into it." I give him the thousand yard stare. I ask him "And only just now tell me about the lines cuz." He did had a good comeback 'You didn't asked' and that's true. He also brought up how can this even help, but I want to try something a draw on a Leif and I DID MAGIC!! I was cheering for good bit until King had to bring me back down the 'Earth' so we can come up with a game plan. We shall do this as Boo-boo buddies, we set off to get to work.
I got a ladder, a red crown, and a cute little red hood I found then went to work. I chose a nice spacious wall and start drawing, I'm being careful making sure the lings are straight while trying to also hurry as King might get back with Eda any minute. Eda later comes and I toss the hood on her, and quickly finished the drawing. It completely knocks her out, YES! Now have one huge mess to clean up.
It took us all the way to morning, we didn't get to sleep, and we wanted to check on Eda. Honestly she took us stealing her elixir as well as you expected, but did distract her with my new found magic, and we learned more about Eda's curse. Granted it's not much, even she doesn't know who cursed her. Oh wait, Hooty needs help, we tell her to rest up while I patch up Hooty and King makes modifications to his Grimm books.
More story notes:
1: Willow is azalea, because Minecraft, Steve is the strongest, she is the strongest. There is a big bee, she has a big bee, oh and I made her parents a Faunus and Florus couple like with Cotta-arc. They are a bear Faunus and apple tree Florus.
2: I needed more time so I made her more unwilling to go to school.
3: So I thought that maybe Willow would not only tell her friend about Luz, but even enlist in his help
4: Yes the man got all his knowledge from fallout. He thinks it's a wasteland out there.
5: Since they have more technology, I needed a reason to justify Gus lack of knowledge, I'll never say I chose a good reason, but the man has never played video games before. The 'Flip phones' are called numeric-book-com... I know it's terrible don't judge me.
6: The specifics is Nabarlek, no real reason.
7: She is a British Short Hair, I liked a video where they gave her a British accent and if I can't give her a British accent in writing, I am going to make her a British cat. I also needed a cat that can be brown and have short hair, as a reference to the otter and cat au.
8: Yes I took away a classic line, but keep in mind she's just supposed to be undercover. That and I made the teacher more competent.
9: I made him more competent just to justify the extra sneakiness.
10: I just have Willow and Gus be consistently stealthy, I mean the lunch room is full of people and I assume almost everybody knows abominations don't eat. I wasn't kidding when I said there will be an increase in appetite, this in their world however, Luz would go back to having a normal appetite in the human realm... Well her Aurora would still increase it.
11: Ok had a illusion take notes for him, this is the logic behind it. Otherwise why illusions take notes when they wouldn't actually be doing anything?
12: Just you wait until you see what I make him and yes I'm changing as glorious hair.
13: You know how in RWBY all Faunus had night vision and humans did not, well now in this world all Florus are acid resistant and Faunus are not.
14: I didn't quite understand how her phone, only shows the glyph once it cracked. So now her new scroll which would have the technology was used to see the inner workings of magic.
15: I don't think enough time passed, so she still had nerd arms and I thought, take her upstairs (which is harder) or place around the couch (Which is closer).
I'm definitely more proud of the first part of the second chapter then second part of the second chapter. Maybe I might change it at a later date but for now, I will work on chapter three, until then byeeeee!
