Grimm. Many called them the prowler of the nights, monster even demon itself. Regardless of what they called, the people of Remnant always live in fear behind the wall as long as they exist. They appear endlessly, no matter of how many of their kind dead, they always came back.

Grimmland is a land where the Grimm came from. Long ago, Human and Faunus are failed to expand their territories to this land, let alone live in this land due to massive numbers of Grimm crawling in this land.

Salem, the Grimm Queen sat on her throne, humming for herself out of boredom. The dark castle she reside in has been quiet since her subordinates are killed by the God or the Great Ones as he called himself and his kind, during their mission to kill a surviving silver eyed warrior. It was lonely in this castle, however she are familiar with it as she has been lonely for millennia.

The silver eyed warrior are the biggest threats for her, with the power from their eyes, they can turn every Grimm into stone. Perhaps, they can turn her into a stone. Ozma or Ozpin as he named himself, are not her biggest threat anymore as he gets weaker and weaker every time he reincarnated into another body. That didn’t means that he is not dangerous as before.

Still, it angered her when she knows he killed her subordinates when they almost killed a surviving silver eyed warrior. The Gods are all the same, they wanted her to suffer. Yet, he didn’t killed her when they first met, he didn’t show an interest towards her only merely acknowledge her presence. She didn’t know what his motives are in Remnant, if he stands in her way she would face him, like those Gods millennia ago.

Currently, Salem watched the God in Human form with a magic ball she called Clairvoyance, a magic she used to watch something from far place like the device called camera. She had observed him since he killed her subordinates. Currently, he trained two children to defend themselves with a knive in the Kingdom of Mistral.

It surprised her when she knows he had a soft spot for children, it also surprised her when she knows a young woman fall in love to him. However, she didn’t believe it if the young woman are in love with him, he must be use his magic to her in order to make her love him, she knows the Gods are and she knows what are they doing to mortal.

They are devious like snake. They only care about mortals as far as they appears useful to them.

The Hunter sidestepped the attack from the boy before he kneed his stomach. He turns towards the girl, who recklessly charged at him. The Hunter grab her head and slammed it to the ground.

Surely, Salem has watched how he fought. The way he fought are not something she expected. He moved fast, quick and brutal. Hacking, cleaving and tearing his victims into shreds until his victims are dead, he never show mercy as every person who tried to surrender are getting cut down. He fought not like a man, he fought like a beast. And when he was bathed in blood, he seems happy.

She remembered when he brutally murdered an ex-Huntsman with a torch. He repeatedly stabbed his torch into his victim before forcefully ripped her head from her shoulders or when he tortured his victim in order to gain information by taking his inside out. Salem shivered when she remembered that, it was one of his brutal way to kill someone.

She took a deep breath and gazed at the magic ball to continue observed him.
