This story takes place one year before the events of Volume 1 of RWBY. A young Hunter begins his journey at the prestigious Beacon Academy after suffering the loss of someone dear to him in his village. Over time, he learns to accept what has been lost, and forges himself a new path, while making new friends and learning a valuable lesson along the way.
