RWBY the Lost Volume: 01

Prologue -

The cold wind left a tinging feeling on anyone that dared to be outside as it swept the area, the snow was certainly not helping the matter as it had been going on for days without any sign of stopping. With all the snow on the ground piling up alongside the destroyed building anything with color would stick out like a sore thumb such as the brown hair of a young girl moving along the landscape in a white cloak.

For her this is just another day of work regardless of the weather as she effortlessly moved over the snow only sinking in a bit with each step. The area was eerily quiet which many would find unusual for a city except that the area was crawling with creatures that also stood out with their black bodies and red piercing eyes.

The creatures of Grimm or more commonly called Grimm have full run of the world since the fall of an academy which was suppose to be one of the beacons of light against the creatures. This academy trained huntsman who's job was to safeguard humanity and this teenager is basically what's left of the huntsman in the area, only one issue she never attended any academy or had formal training. Many in this world have started their lives never knowing of a so called peace or state of technology just moving from one place to another avoiding the Grimm.

Many have deemed its best to live and work alone in this world but this child is not one of them she belongs to a group of merchants well known in the area as the Sparrow Feathers who sell old artifacts, food, and their services.

The girl lifted a door that was covering one of the openings to a building and moved it just enough to allow herself to squeeze inside. The inside of the building must have been a temple of some kind with its large cathedral like ceiling that has a a piece of it caving in. She moved through the middle where people would gather to sit and listen to sermons.

At the front where a pedestal stood she pushed it out of the way revealing some stairs leading down into a dark corridor. At the end of the corridor is a opening that leads into a large room that separates into more rooms. A few baskets were sitting out in the open that contained many items and the girl walked over to it moving her cloak back some she pulled a brown bag out and opened it. She pulled out a few objects and placed it into one of the baskets and closed the bag, afterwards she started back up the stairway and put the pedestal back.

On the way out of the building she could hear the sound of some kind of loud howl not far away and a scream not to soon after. Well that's never good, the girl thought as she pulled her cloak and made sure it was fully around herself and pulled her hood up. Within a few seconds she completely disappeared and the only thing that would show someone had been through the area was the prints left behind by her steps.
