A smiling young teen took a few minutes to enjoy the feeling of the wind brushing against his blonde hair, blowing back and forth much like the leaves in a tree. It served to soothe him, keeping his head clear from any negativities that may plague him. If it weren't for the fact that he had a reason for being here, the teen would have most likely stayed like this for a few hours.

"Well, even if the rumor just turns out to just be a rumor, at least the journey here would have been enjoyable." Aurelio stated to himself, looking on the bright side in a figurative and literal sense by staring up at the moon for a few seconds.

From what the blonde had heard, there was a village in the south side of Vale. It was apparently a good place that people often visited, but that had not been what caught Aurelio's attention. No, it was the rumor that had been going around in the village, more specifically about a weapon that the chief of the village had.

A rumor about a blade that was so powerful that it could crush a house in one swing.

Naturally, the blonde grew interested and wanted to learn more about it. He wasn't sure if it was just that the chief was so strong or that it was the blade itself. Either way, he wanted to speak to the chief to see if he or she were willing to train him to become stronger with or without the blade, having realized how weak he was.

If he couldn't get stronger, how could he consider himself to be a huntsman and a hero? He needed that sort of strength to help him grow in order to be a true protector of the people.

Shaking his head to focus back on his thoughts, Aurelio looked around for any signs of the village. He immediately took noticed of the lighthouse, barely above the water.

... Wait, that doesn't seem right? Shouldn't a lighthouse generally be taller than that?

Blinking at the odd size, Aurelio took a more careful look. His hazel eyes widened, almost to the size of dinner plates, as his mouth opened automatically from the surpise of what he was seeing.

There was water where the village would be, the hunstman honestly would have thought to have gotten himself lost if he had not noticed the lighthouse before.

''"Did the people make it out in time? I hope they did and are currently okay! How long ago was this?" ''Those along with other similar thoughts ran through Aurelio's head as he approached at a faster rate, his determined eyes scanning around the area for any signs of life.

This would be one of the times he wished that he was a faunus, then he'd be able to see much more clearly in the night.

His vision eventually settled on one of the merchant caravans, the one with vibrant colors making it easy for Aurelio to spot in the dark. He took off running towards the direction of the caravans, hoping to find out what happened to the people of the village.

Surely, some people must have made it out alive and relocated somewhere else.

... Right?
