hey guys, Zephyr here! first off, i want to apologize for the update before, and first publication of this chapter.

for those of you who don't know, i originally wrote this story on the writing service wattpad and i got very far into the story. the major problem was that wattpad is usually used to upload original stories and fanfictions and the writers of said stories on that site hardly get any readers. so, since i have been a reader on this site for many years, i decided to publish my story here, where there are readers who will enjoy my stories and idea's of world building.

there was a problem with the software i use that added in extra text and i had to delete everything and retype it myself so i am sorry for the inconveniance.

now, i originally began this story mid-volume 5 so the story doesn't contain the origins of ozma and salem in canon, but instead i made my own origins for them with what i had at my disposal. thank you all for reading, i apollogize for the glitch on the first attempt, and with that said, i hope you enjoy.

Blood red.

That was the color of the sky in my home.

I have lived since the end of earth, when the second age of gods began, all the way up to when it was now named remnant.

During the day, when the sun shined, i would sleep and my brother would bring beauty and life to what remained of this planet.

During the night, when the now broken moon shined, my brother would sleep and i would try to use my powers of darkness to also help my brother in rebuilding the world, but would always fail and end up destroying all he created.

At sunset and sunrise was the only time we were both awake, and would spend our time together arguing over which side was better.

the light.

or the dark.

until one day, we came up with an idea to stop the fighting.

we would create a species to walk the world of Remnant and decide for themselves which side they wanted.

it was a true game of chance, where both of us had no control over who they wanted to follow.

or at least, that was the concept.

the ritual to create humanity required an equal amount of both light and darkness to make a truly neutral species, but my brother took the odds into his own hands by dividing the output of energy to 60% light, 40% dark.

with that 10% differance, humanity operated like he did, they were awake during the day, and slept at night, which ment while i slept humanity was awake, mingling with my brother, while at night when i am awake, humanity slept and never interacted with me.

so, in my own boredom and loneliness, i decided to make friends of my own, and with some time and effort, i succeeded.

the creatures of grimm slept during the day, and were awake at night.

they played with me, they looked to me for guidence and assistence, and they cared and protected me from the wild life of this world.

finally, i could say i had friends.

i tried to keep my creatures hidden from my brother and humanity because i was unsure how they would react.

and then my brother found out.

to say he was outraged would be a understatement.

he was furious, and with a single strike, wiped out half of the grimm i had created and cared for.

killed half of my friends.

i was so enraged that the grimm took my anger for my brother as a lesson to hate and kill the light.

and they did.

the grimm began attacking humanity in a blood thirsty frenzy.

i had grieved for all lives taken by the grimm, because despite my brithers influence in them, they were still somewhat my creation.

so, i went above my brother to our creators.

our parents, if you would.

and they told me to gift humanity with 4 relics from the old world.

each relic held a god from the old world and these gods led to many conflicts, so as punishment theywere sealed into 4 items.

a lantern.

a sword.

a lance.

and a head piece that could be mistaken as a crown.

each granted humanity a core aspect of what they can do today.

after that, i left to a desolate continent that became my home, only leaving it every 100 years disquised as a human to see how humanity has progressed with my absence.

every time i leave and disquise as a human, i seem to bring human genes back with me until finally i found a form i prefered.

over the years i have had red hair, blond hair, black hair, until finally i settled on one that stuck.

white.

my eyes over the years changed color as well until they finalized on silver.

and when half of humanity evolved into faunus, so did i.

after all, i always did find wolves to be the most loyal species you can find, wether they be normal wolves or beowolfs.

and finally, after my many trips in trhe human world, i came up with a "last name" to complete my appearance as a human when i leave.

Emiya.

humanity kept faunus as slaves and the faunus accepted it.

i was resigned to stay out of the humans affairs, cause a goddess should have no right to interfere with the happenings of humanity.

then, after 2000 years, something changed.

a single faunus man was fighting back against the humans and wanted the faunus to have equal rights.

it happened to fall on the time i walked humanity as a mortal, when i encountered him. and since, for a few months, im supposed to be a mortal, and not a goddess, i decided to help him.

his name was Ghira Belladonna, a puma faunus with black hair, amber yellow eyes, a bulky physical build and a short stubble to his chin that barely made up a beard.

he was idealistic and foolish, and had a wish of being a hero of justice for the faunus.

naive, but very admirable.

in 3 short months with my help, a cat faunus woman named Kali toujou, and a teenage tiger faunus girl named sienna khan, and we had built up a faunus rights movement.

on my final night as a mortal, me and Ghira, in a moment of alcohol fueled passion, "made love" as you humans call it.

after that i returned to my home, which humanity had dubbed "the grimmlands" by their own accord.

then, 6 weeks later, i began to feel sick and one of my followers, watts, said i was showing all the signs of pregnancy.

lets just say the next 8 months were a... stressful experience.

but then i gave birth and held my son in my arms.

he looked just like me, with his snow white hair, silver eye's, and adorable wolf ears atop his head, but he also had a unique faunus trait of having 2 wolf tails alongside his wolf ears.

he was not my only child to be born, but he was the oldest of my children by 3 minutes.

surprisingly, he was the only child born with faunus traits. its rare, but not uncommon to be born a faunus but not have faunus traits that manifest.

these cases usually mean that they'll have enhanced senses or have the quirk of when really focusing on someone or excited their pupils will slit like dragons.

my second eldest son had blond hair and red eyes.

My third child and first daughter had white hair and red eyes, and took on her fathers somewhat tanner skin tone.

My fourth child and 3rd son had red hair and red eyes.

My fifth and sixth child, which are my twin second and third daughters both also had white hair, but one had a pale complexion like me and red eyes, while the other had Ghira's complexion and his golden eyes.

And my seventh child and fourth daughter had my complexion, but Ghira's black hair and golden eyes.

i wanted to raise and show my love to them all so much, but then i looked back on what happened when i tried to care and nurture something.

needless to say the grimm were not supposed to attack the humans and faunus, and sure, i can make the grimm not attack certain people but i can only do so much.

i knew i couldn't give them what they needed, so i did what i could for them.

i asked each of my followers, watts, tyrian, even the recent joiner of our group Hazel and a few more that will go unnaimed to take mychildren and find them homes across remnant, using some of my divine energies to make portals to the capitols of each kingdom for them to use on their search.

me? i took a portal to menagerie, using a cloak to hide my appearance and having my eldest son in a little crib.

i approached the door to Ghira's home, and set shirou down at his doorstep, but i haven't left yet.

i know that after i left, Ghira and Kali hooked up and got married, with Kali expecting birth in 5 months.

i was looking into the eye's of my eldest son, seeing the wonder in his eye's, but also a blazing flame behind those silver eye's of was with a heavy heart that i had to look away and stand up.

i walked 2 steps up to the door and knocked twice on the big house doors.

i stepped away from the door, kneel down to my eldest son in his crib, and kissed his forehead.

i raised my left hand and held up a necklace with a red heart shaped jewel pendant and put it around his neck.

"goodbye my child, shirou." i said as i quickly ran off with a few small tears running down my face.

i entered the portal to the grimmlands and the portal closed behind me.

moments later, a pregnant Kali opened the door to their home and looked around outside before hearing the small baby noises of shirou and looked down to see him.

kali's eyes widen before she quickly picks him up and takes him inside their home, hoping to get him out of the cold of night.
