A storm was currently brewing as lightning flashes and followed after it was thunder roaring in the sky.

The forest was undoubtedly pelted with heavy rain as the winds howl against its leaves.

*Step___Step_____Step!*

*Step___Step___!*

A Hooded figure was seen calmly walking under the storm, not bothered by it as lightning flashes ahead, showing a small glance of the figures face, to which it showed nothing but his lower face and white jaw-length bangs..

But then he stopped walking when he saw something ahead of the path...

A broken down cart with few people, Faunus' nearby, all mauled and butchered to death but there were others, Humans but they all look different.

The Huntsman could see that they were Bandits and he could already guess what had happened.

An ambush and it wasn't a pretty one but it looks their little scuffle attracted some Girmm, as there were few remains nearby, already dead and slowly turning to dust..

His gaze quickly scans over for any survivors but unfortunately, found none... Seeing this, the Huntsman opted to continue on their path, but not until he heard something.

*HOWL!!!!*

A howl, he turns his head into the forest to where he head it, and there he saw claw marks on the bushes and trees leading to somewhere else deep to which was a bit strange as some of the the branches had been slashed, a clean one to be precise, almost like it's been cut to which it obviously was.

This made the Huntsman go to investigate...









What he found at the end was a Feline that had strayed far, surrounded by bloodthirsty Canines...

....

An air horn sounds loudly. The black screen cuts to an offramp being lowered on the ship bearing Blake Belladonna and Sun Wukong to allow passengers to disembark. The town has many small buildings and homes set among dunes and palm trees. The town bell that has been ringing is shown in its belfry.

Sun, Blake and along with their newly addition companion, Night who is a Wolf Faunus, makes their way from the deck to the offramp.

Blake proceeds without pause while the guys stops to look at the town.

Sun: Huh.

Several Faunus in summer wear meander casually at the dock, some waiting for friends or family among the new arrivals.

The dock is also a commercial area, with mobile kiosks selling food and other wares. It is a relaxed atmosphere on a sunny day, something to which Night doesn't like as the heat of the sun ticks him off a bit..

Sun is looking around while they disembark and walk through the market area together.

Sun: I've never seen so many Faunus in one place!

Night: I doubt that..

Blake: This is the one place everyone can feel safe, no matter who or what they are.

Sun: Wow, sure is, uh, crowded, huh?

Blake: Yes. Yes, it is.

Sun dodges a Faunus carrying a box.

Sun: Is it always so... cramped?

Night: Well, when you try and take an entire animal kingdom and put them on an island that's two-thirds desert, yeah, it's understandable to be cramped.
