A Frenchman of Napoleon's Army. A British Surgeon. A scared but fearless American. And a Prussian devout to the word of God. Four men from the Napoleonic Era, once enemies, but briefly allies, fighting against an all-devouring plague, the Blight. Despite fighting til their best, they succumbed to the horror of this plague. But fate gave these men another chance.
Thrown into the world of Remnant, a land besieged by creatures called Grimm, these men of the past must adapt to a world of Dust, Semblances and darkness incarnate. Will Remnant's darkness doom these men once more, or will their loyalty to their brotherhood, their homeland, and to their friends and family they were forced to leave behind, save this world, once and for all?

RWBY: The Grimm Hunter [DISCONTINUED]
Remnant is a land full of legends and stories. Some are more popularly known such The Story of the Seasons and the legend of the Silver-Warriors. However, there is one legend that has been long forgotten and buried deep in Remnant's history. This is the legend of The Grimm Hunter, a creature of terrible power that was believed to have terrorized Humanity before the four Kingdoms were established and shortly after Humanity discovered Dust. It's been depicted to be an amalgamation of different Grimm with the ability to absorb the life-force of any creature with a soul. Not only did doing so regenerate any dealt wounds, but also allowed it to convert it into dark and destructive energy. Even though The Grimm Hunter was a creature of darkness itself, it also slaughtered Grimm with the same level of ferocity it showed Humanity. However, just as it seemed The Grimm Hunter would eradicate all of Humanity, it vanished without a trace. Not many know what happened to it but the legend speculates that a squadron of Silver-Eyed Warriors defeated it. But, that's not the truth, now is it? DISCLAIMER: I do not own RWBY or any of the pictures you may see in this book. All of them belong to Rooster Teeth and owners respectively. I only own the non-canon characters and changes to the plot and history of RWBY.

But among these legends and myths, a stubborn lineage of grit and tenacity bites at the dark, howling into the night. Forefathers of huntsmen and huntresses, pioneers of the first mechashift weapons and dust, a stalwart bulwark of mortal will that stood against the grimm. but the tides of time are kind to no one, and this proud lineage faded away, devoured by the very darkness they fought. A mortal pyre, ashes gone. Or is it? A lone ember flickers, refusing to yield, baring its teeth after centuries pass. howl little wolf, your hunt has just begun. I do not own rwby.
