Chapter 65 The Chapter to Help Get Back Into the Swing of Things
Part 1: Huntsman of Vale
Anise and Thyme were arguably the ‘youngest’ Huntsmen of Reach.
Both of them were in the latter half of their twenties, making them somewhat older than the average academy graduate, but despite this, they were still referred to as the youngest. This was because, unlike most Huntsmen who were still ‘young’, the two had already decided to set up s...

Chapter 64 No More the Craven
“They’re everywhere!”
“Above!”
“Keep firing!”
“Left! Left! Shoot, you fucker!”
All across the top of the north-facing wall, men and women shouted directions, warnings and orders, as the different squads of Atlesian soldiers fought to stay the tide of Grimm for as long as possible. What had begun as a mere trickle of soulless abominations had now turned into a horrific reaping tide of teeth and claws...

Chapter 63 Thirst to Quench
The Blood, he could feel it, his mind consumed with the sensation of the potent substance carving a path through his ruined body. An immense pressure swelled where it went, forcing the still intact veins to bulge outward from his skin.
The pain of the poison and the ravaged mauling wounds that sundered his front were soon washed up in the mixture of the Blood’s healing power. The sudden onset of the new overwhelming mixtu...

Chapter 62 Monster Painted Red
The sound of his steps dissonantly contrasted with the chaotic and constant crackling flames as he climbed the cracked steps leading into the derelict church.
Over his shoulders rested the transformed Hunter Axe, the elongated weapon held in place by his arms draped over its haft. He passed the threshold and, as he did, felt the sensation of the way behind him sealing through means he could not begin to fathom.

Chapter 61 On Black Wings
He did not announce himself; he saw no need and did not intend to linger for long. He moved through the Dream with purpose, though he was not so callous as not to keep an eye out for the Doll.
But she was absent, and it would not do to divert from his path.
Not when he was so close.
No, he required another occupant of the Dream for this trip.
Jaune found him away from the Workshop,...

Chapter 60 Going South
The thunderous noise of explosions combined with the pounding staccato of Dust rounds fired from below punished Jaune’s ears. The same artillery tore up the sky with fire, flashes, and several lingering Dust effects that made the space around them more hostile by the second.
Jaune swiftly formulated a plan, realising he would need to change things quickly unless he wanted his ride reduced to a fine paste.
He wrenched fiercely on the ...

Chapter 59 Change, or, Try to
Scourge Beasts.
They were the first Beast Jaune ever encountered and the first to take his life… Disembowelment is not a pleasant death by any means, but by claw and tooth… it was not surprising that he tried to forget.
To Jaune, they represented the Beastly Scourge in all its cumulative horror.
The mere vestiges of humanity that remained were all but imperceivable, serving only to enhanc...

Chapter 58 Come to Claim
Oto muffled another groan as his entire midsection protested. Yet another less-than-perfect landing jolted his body, and he paid for it. He shoved the hurt aside, though, keeping low as he hid behind an air conditioning unit.
He peaked around the now-dead machinery, the power to this building having been cut with all others; his eyes found Simon quickly as the Faunus continued his mad cackling. The noise was as grating as it was helpful, a...

Chapter 57 Join the Night
He was alone.
With a fraction of his strength, he pushed and listened to the sound of gears embracing and releasing as they turned. The wind pulled at his cap and shoved the scent of burning corpses deep into the reaches of his airways.
He was not sure whether it was fortunate that, by this point, he was well used to the stink.
His thoughts idled momentarily on just how many foul odours he was gr...

Chapter 56 This Time, Tonight
It was cool.
The feel of the air was like a ghostly caress as it dragged over his too-hot skin; it lingered with the kiss of moisture, dew upon flesh. It was almost chill, shy of cold, but enough that he felt his bare flesh respond to the sensation all the same.
He inhaled; the air was awash with scents, familiar and as painful as they were beloved. They rushed through his airways and stirred his mind as fiercely as any stimulan...

Chapter 54 Heavenward, I Fall
Moving through Old Yharnam ground against one’s calm like a saw. The oppressive sound of the mounted gun raining down its consistent stream of lethal, hot Quicksilver destroyed any chance to recuperate.
It followed Jaune every step of the way; the constant hammering of the projectiles chipping away at the still-standing edifices was an ever-looming threat.
Numerous runs through Old Yharnam had ensured tha...

Chapter 53 Glory Burns
The thrill of discovering something new on a familiar trail is a curious phenomenon akin to finding gold in an already-emptied vein. This was how Jaune could describe the scavenging runs he took from time to time.
Jaune did many such runs. Runs where he walked a path travelled repeatedly with fresh eyes. Such runs between Lanterns were often never without reward, whether that be the discovery of some unseen treasure, the acquisi...

Chapter 52 Race and Endure
Three whole Blood Vials.
That was what it took for Jaune to be barely able to scrape himself off the ground.
Jaune arched his back and began to cough and hack until a whole slew of blood and viscera spilled from his mouth and splattered across the cracked bricks where he landed. His first breaths were heaving gasps that inflated his chest and led to even further coughing and a second, shorter burst of gore tea...

Chapter 51 Here and no Further.
The power of the Old Blood was truly miraculous.
Jaune sat in contemplation of this fact, his back to the statue keeping him from being riddled with bullets as he stared down at the thin cylinder holding the substance in question. His gaze then travelled to the small brown pouch holding the little white pills he now knew to be antidotes.
He chose to ignore the judging looks he was getting from both Anima ...

Chapter 50 From on High, As Downlow
Quicksilver Bullets rained down around him like lethal hail as he dashed across a stretch of abandoned garden beds. Claws reached out from the withered bramble to snatch at his legs, but he launched himself upward, clearing the grasping limbs entirely.
He landed, crouched low and threw himself toward the building the bullets originated from, his back smacking against the stonework forcefully as he waited.

Remnant, in many regards, was a world of lost history.
Though in the present, it is possible to look into the history of the Four Great Kingdoms and a stretch of time predating them, beyond that is a fathomless unknown that goes even further. Because that is Remnant, a world as broken and scourged as the moon it calls its own.
Vale's past was a storied one.
Within its borders exist numerous lost civilisations, both ancient and whose existence is recorded in the annals. Those...

It burned.
Not in the metaphoric way he had found himself to fall to when he lost control, nor in the manner or hurt that he could not aptly put into better words.
This was the heated wrath of his nerves alighting to the feel of something foreign and hazardous.
He slammed his back into the wall, throwing himself away from his foe.
Confusion ruled his mind for an instant, an eternity...

Chapter 47 Blazing Cold Blood
When Jaune was still wholly new to the Hunt and Yharnam, he attempted to commune with the mobs of locals that roamed the streets.
Back then, he had been so lost and out of sorts that his desire for knowledge had eclipsed his wisdom, resulting in a painful lesson.
His attempts to attain clarity and understanding of what was going on were met with savagery in the form of a random Yharnamite running him throug...

Chapter 46 Fleeing the Gilded Hole
“We can’t just leave him here!”
Jade, tense with anger, stood defiantly in front of the exit out of the secure room. Her arms were spread wide, a physical barrier to her brother's plans. Her face, a mask of righteous fury, starkly contrasted with Jaune's growing exasperation. He stood, looking up at the ceiling, his lips moving in silent prayer, avoiding the storm brewing in his sister's eyes.
“Yes, we can,” Jaune...

He walked down the stairs with precise steps, his eyes peering over the shapes in the smoke, the clusters of statues and the beacons that were lit pyres. He saw the movement of the Beasts as they stirred, their forms hunched and stalking.
He took another step and watched as the gathering responded in kind, a tension swelling in their ranks as he approached closer and closer.
It was too much for one of them.<...

Now, to a topic far less technical, I just wanted to spread the word here as I did with Discord. I am presently considering commissioning several pieces for Grimm Nightmares, but I had the intention of spreading the love.
Of course, to Setsu as well because if I didn't, I would be a soulless scum, but I was also hoping to involve you guys as well!
As such, just as I mentioned in the Discord, if any of you have ideas for what the commission art could entail, please feel free to spe...

As I mentioned in Discord, I was beginning to toy around with the idea of possibly changing things up before the issues that arose, thanks to Cyclone Jasper and the flooding that followed.
Now, what does this mean?
Well, after some plotting and scheming, it would be like this: As Grimm Nightmares is currently the major project, I would be releasing the chapters on a new advanced schedule linked to tiers.
Essentially, this would equate to Ember receiving their updates as they...

Chapter 43 From the Breach
Old Yharnam, or at least the door leading into it, was very much like the namesake, though Jaune admittedly should have expected as much given the state of the area around the Lamp. The massive doors were made of thick aged wood barded in iron and sealed with a message that was in an appalling state.
Jaune rested a hand on the heavy-set door, inhaling and noting that even through his cowl, he could taste smoke in the air. He...

The Lamps had long since become a source of comfort for Jaune during his time in Yharnam, but also they served as a waypoint.
When he saw a Lamp, he knew he had not strayed from his path.
It was… reinvigorating, especially after his recent bout of troubles, to know he had found his way forward once more.
Though part of him could not help but wonder if he was not yet stumbling into even more tro...

Chapter 41 Last Sonata
Jaune felt out of place when he returned to Oedon chapel; his leaving last time had left him feeling… lost. The sensation remained even as he stood in the centre of the building, his eyes roaming over the familiar but not lingering.
Addressing the Dweller had alleviated some of the sensation with the hunched being showing to be ever courteous.
Jaune found that while perhaps one of the odder individuals he had co...

He knew what he needed to do.

He had to prepare.
