The Meaning and Beginning

Now just a reminder once more, this is a fanfic I wanted to make due to my current likings toward Rwby related fanfics. It'll use some ideas inspired from a Genshin fanfic and don't expect good grammar or good chapters as I suck at it from my previous works. So bare with me because I know I'll make mistakes and pls give some critique, as well as some suggestions. I do not own Rwby this is just a fic for me to express my thoughts and improve. Now let's hajime!!! (or begin if hajime is the word in Japanese meaning begin)

Jaune Arc.

A 18 year old lad with fair skin, dark blue eyes, and blonde hair was currently standing in a forest near Aslan his hometown. He looked at his hometown once more, reminiscing the past. The reason why he's going on a journey to become a huntsman. "It's time" he blurted moving towards the other direction.

At the age of 10, he stumbled upon a book. An old, dusty and thick paged book which he found while stumbling on one of the shelves in his father's personal library room. The book was a diary of one of his ancestors, Michelle Arc and the boy was captivated from one of the stories depicted. The story was of Michelle being a slave to a group of pirates in their early years and suffered from them. The diary contained words he didn't know of certain words such as distraught, saunter and sanity but understood the words like sorrow and misery in the diary. Which made it clear to the young Arc that it specified their emotional state of being held captive.

Jaune felt reacted like any reader, who likes to read stories. He felt mad at the pirates for making his ancestor along with other slaves suffer. The blonde hoped that the story would take a turn for a better where Michelle and the slaves get a happy ending. To the young Arc his prayer was answered as a slave by the name of Corvus began to appear in the next pages of the diary. Corvus began to gather his slave brethren and strategized on how to kill the pirates.

Young Jaune who read this winced at the word kill. As he knew the meaning of it but continued reading. He read the next pages and found out how they killed the pirates. Jaune was a bit uncomfortable after knowing that he heard of the deaths of those individuals but thought to himself that the pirates deserved it. With the pirate crew taken care of , Corvus took the name of the pirate crew and made it his last name as a reminder of the day of their freedom. The next chapters depicted Michelle along with the rest of the slaves following the now dubbed Corvus Branwen, going across the world, pillaging, and executing those who have made people suffer and beyond redemption. While also sparing and sheltering those who they deemed to be victims. However, there were times they made mistakes and punished the false offender causing Jaune to feel complicated with those actions depicted but soon understood that they didn't mean to do such actions. The story ended with Michelle leaving in good terms with Corvus and the rest of the freed slaves that became a family and live somewhere in the wilderness. It took him 2 months to read through all of it and even less he reread it again before coming to have created a question that made him think like crazy due to one word.

Hero. In his developing mind, he questioned 'what is a hero?' due to the other things depicted in the diary. 11 years old at the time, he started to go read more books in his father's library frequently. Specifically, trying to formulate more ideas of the word's terminology. He ended up finding his definition of the word just before a day he became 12 years old but while I was doing so, he learned more about discrimination of races and the antithesis to the word 'hero'. That being villains or antagonist. Evil individuals, who mess with the heroes or protagonist and are the big bad of any story or show that exists in remnant.

Jaune started to hate the word but it didn't last long as the blonde started to ponder more about 'how villains came to be?' along with the concept of evil, which sent him back to the books for answers. After a month, he concluded that he shouldn't hate villains much without reason.
