(This is a rewrite of chapter 1 as it is extremely short)

Under a pale sky alight from the bloody, crimson moon above their heads and the flames of a burning workshop two hunters fight. The very first hunter Gehrman withered and world weary due to the time he has spent in the dream and the number of hunters sent to their deaths and the good hunter broken and tired as he could not save the many he had meet over the course of his journey in Yharnam and the abominations he has fought in the city the nightmare and the labyrinths. The twos blades meet. Strike after strike the good hunter returning each blow, reacting by dodging or by shooting at the old hunter until he was kneeling his blood staining the white flowers of the field. The old hunter had a regretful look in his eyes knowing what will happen to the good hunter after his passing that he will take his place and be the dreams harbinger, forced to take his place until he noticed what he good hunter was holding in his right hand. The good hunter was holding three umbilical cords and crushed them in his grip granting him another power to resist the hunts creator. Knowing this Gehrman smiled and was relived knowing that he was finally free from this everlasting nightmare and faded into a spectral blue smoke.

The hunter grabbed his now deceased mentors badge depicting a scythe blade just like the blade of his favoured weapon the burial blade which the hunter also in turn picked up from the first hunter he then turned to the now burning building only to be driven out of his thoughts by a scream. He turned to where he heard the twisted, guttural screech to find a being he was familiar with. He could not forger its thin, long, black limbs and it's distorted, mutilated face and its exposed bones. For the first time in a long time he felt something it was not fear or despair it was pure unhindered rage at the monstrosity before him the same being that brought him to Yharnam. He could only assume that the presence before him was another great one. He had killed multiple different great ones while in Yharnam such as the amygdala in the nightmare frontier and the Orphan of kos in the Hunters nightmare as well as the brain of Mensis and Margo's wet nurse he had also killed multiple of the kin beings blessed by the Great ones with power and knowledge beyond mortal capabilities an example of this would be when he killed Rom and revealed the higher plains. It was at that moment the great one took the opportunity to try and bind the hunter to the dream however the binding of the hunter failed as it was repelled by a force produced by the hunter. However, this did not leave the hunter unscathed as it resulted in a extremely large pain being produce and the sensation of burning inside of his head but he disregarded the pain as he drew his sword now stained a permanent red and black and transformed his sheath into a shield with two now blood stained golden arcs imprinted upon it as he charged at the entity in order to finally end the hunt.

The presence charged toward the hunter swiping at the hunter only for the attack to be blocked and to be hit causing the presence to bleed heavily and a large amount of pain however the presence quickly recovered and swiped twice at the hunter and grabbed him as he did not have enough to recover from the attack and was crushed in the presence's hands causing the hunter to lose large amount of blood. However, the hunter quickly escaped its hand and quickly recovered large amount of his blood supply by ferociously and swiftly slashed at the moon presence before backing away at a fast pace only for the presence to summon clouds and an white orb that rained blood upon the hunter then rolled away from where blood rained upon only to have to side step out of the way of the moon presence to crush him by jumping upon him ,using the time the entity needed to recover from the leap, he cut away at the being severing an arm and a few tentacles from the monstrosity. He then noticed the abomination staring at him as a red light appeared and felt pain through his entire body as if he was being frozen, burned and shocked at the same time while having his body torn apart all while blood pored from his body through his eyes ,mouth, eyes and nose but despite this he noticed his blood was a pale blue and white while noticing that the monster he was fighting was struggling to move using this opportunity he charged towards the presence and using the blade coated in both his and the Great ones blood severed the eldritch being through the mid-section of his body which was now un moving and was dissipating into a white mist which was then absorbed by the hunter producing a strange sensation throughout his body and a numb but comforting feeling at his right eye.

The hunt was finally over the dream was dissipating into ash and was crumbling around him. He thought to himself how long it had been science he was brought to Yharnam to him he felt it has been years of bloodshed the hunter then turned towards the doll who had a smile on her face and gave her farewells the hunter responded simply with a wave as he walked away as the dream faded to nothingness.

He awoke in what appeared to be an ally way between two brightly coloured buildings that did not have any spikes or chains and in fact he found the place rather familiar he soon felt a familiar cool chill around his ankle as he saw light blue mist he saw his old friends and companions the messengers looking at him with their black, sunken eyes holding a envelop in their pale, bony hands inviting him to read the letter which of course accepted and read the contents of the letter made him weep the only thing the letter said was 'Welcome back to Vale Jaune Arc'.

Jaune then set out to find a place to settle for a while and came across an abandoned warehouse which he then set up as a sort of hovel the messengers also set up various work stations for him as the wished to help the good hunter. Jaune then decided to stare out of a window to see a better view of his surroundings however he saw his reflection instead and shocked him at what he saw.

He discovered that his appearance had changed drastically. His once golden blond hair had not only gained length but also had become mostly a bone white colour with the occasional black and gold strand here and there. His right eye had a large, angled scar across it most likely from his fight with Gehrman or the Moon presence heading downwards from left to right. The biggest shock to Jaune however was the change in his right eye as it now had an golden colour on the outer side and an crimson colour on the inside of the iris ,both of which have various shapes which Jaune assumes are Caryll runes due to them being similar shapes and different qualities such as one that glowed blue in the shape of what could be made out as a star, with a slit shaped pupil and a black sclera resulting in him believing that he should hide his right eye as it would no doubt attract attention to him so he decided to hide it using a bandage with the excuse that he lost when he was attacked by one of the Grimm. The messengers also in formed him that it has been a month since his disappearance on Remnant. With all that he had done recently he decided that it would be for the best to get some sleep when he did sleep he was met with an abhorrent amalgamation of a nightmare that seemed twisted broken in unimaginable ways.
