"what have I told you about the amulet?" a man said to a tall child.

"don't put it on," the child said sadly. He was back home after he had a talk with a man named Opzin and his dad was not happy.

The father of the boy looked sternly at his son, he just can't understand why his son insisted on taking the amulet when he was not looking. If he told him what that heirloom was then maybe he might be more responsible when he wears it. "and what else?"

The boy hung his head down trying to avoid his father's gaze "don't tell others about it." he then followed that up with "because people will do anything to take it form me."

The father shook his head up and down "yes that is correct, you have to understand that not everyone is as kind as we are." he said honestly, there are more than a hand full of people that he can think of that would gladly kill everyone in the village and say it was a Grimm attack just to get it. "I don't want you to get hurt because of something that has been in our family for a long time." the father closed his eyes and put a hand on the boy's shoulders "just be more careful next time, can you do that?" he needed his sons reassurance that he can be trusted in handling the amulet.

The boy just continued to look down He did not intend for this to happen, all he wanted to do was show the Head of a school for monster slayer's what his family's most prized possession. Now that he thought about it, it wasn't a good idea in hindsight. But, what was so important about it. Form all the time he has used the amulet he had learned a lot. Like how Grimm seems to be indifferent to him when he wears it. Or that time he got lost at night and it shined with light when the moon was out, leading him back home before morning. All of this showed that it was more than just a piece of obsidian in the shape of an eagle.

"yes, I can do that dad" his father looked at his son a little longer and could tell that he was sincere, but before he started to walk away, his son spoke up " dad, can I ask you something." The father stopped to look back at his son, a child that has grown up to be much taller than most children his age. "Yes Redwood, what is it you ask of me?" He still does not yet understand how his son can be so loud, but strangely quiet when he wanted to be. A kid like his should not be so unnoticeable.

Redwood started fidgeting with his fingers, showing his nervousness before answering "why do we have the amulet in the first place, I mean, it does seem to fit with everything in the house, like the Sun and Moon armour. " he said to his father "but, I can't help but notice that there is more to it than just being a nice looking piece of carved volcanic glass."

His father soon sighed "I knew that you would ask sooner or later" he said solemnly, he should be honest about this with his son, of what his family had been hiding from the world. But not now, now is not the time for such things. "I promise to tell you in two days ok," he said to the disappointed of his son "but I will tell you that the amulet is more important than one would believe" and then with a look of seriousness he said "and that those who know what it is will stop at nothing to take it for themselves, so please, keep it safe even when I'm gone." He saw tears in his son's eyes after he said that. "dad don't say things like that, you know it makes me feel sad." his son said, so he pulled him into a hug "I know that it does, but you cant stay young forever" Redwood's father said " just promise that you won't change like your grandpa did after the war"

Redwood held his father closer after that "I promise I won't break like grandpa dad, I get mad like he did" they stayed like that for a minute, until Redwoods father said "come" he told Redwood after releasing his son form his embrace" ill make you some hot cocoa for you " Redwood wiped the tears from his eyes "Id like that"

Soon the father and his son walked to the kitchen to make some hot cocoa, leaving behind an amulet hanging from an axe with a symbol of a long gone Kingdom.

I have to say it's much easier to make something from scratch than it is to try and stay true to an episode of the show.

But I will say that things will be different next chapter.

All I will say is that a monster from fallout will make its den in a cave whose previous occupant is now gone. Please leave a review, whether you are a guest or have an account, it always helps me get new ideas.
