Helix In! Now in this chapter, I'm pretty sure that I'm doing something pretty unique here. Welcome to the Damned City of Mordheim! Enjoy your stay and let's get on with it!

Disclaimer: This is a prequel before the events of Jaune Tepes happened.  

In the city of Mordheim, lied men in madness or those with greedy hands dive into the city to search for riches or for a chance to rise to glory

Blake just glances at those from Atlas. "Sounds familiar doesn't it ?"

Men from Reikland, Middenheim, and Marienburg sent in bands of men to hunt for the shards of Wyrdstone, stones said to hold great power, other abhorrent fiends scour the city for their agendas, Agents of Chaos and the dead hunt there in the name of their masters!

Yang whistles, "oh wow that's not ominous all."

Helix stepped in 
 "It never was, at that time, Reikland, Middenheim, and Marienburg were three factions in the Empire of Man, and they squabbled on who would be the next Emperor as all three had their respective heirs. And by the time the city of Mordheim fell due to a Comet of Sigmar decimating the city, and this city had a resource that could change the balance in the Empire" Helix said, remembering the times he had to pose as a Witch Hunter, it was... Quite exhilarating

"What is this Empire of Man?" Ozpin asked

"The Empire of Man was founded by Sigmar Heldenhammer, a man blessed by the Twin-Tailed Comet, after founding the Empire and allying with the Dwarves, he disappeared for reasons unknown," Helix said

The camera then showed Jaune in a tavern filled with drinking people, either drinking their sorrows away or simply doing it for the heck of it, there are even some Dwarves as they happily drunk their cup of beer or Bugman's beers

Qrow raised his flask. "Hell, I've been to a few pubs myself. Nice places for good times and good cheap hooch."

"That Bugman's beer is very exquisite," Helix said as he summoned a few bottles for the adults to try

"I've been there and tried it. Quite good if I may say." Helix added. 

Qrow nods and soon gives it a swig and yells. "WOW ! that is some good stuff !"

Helix smiled behind his mask."Indeed so, they said that the froth is the best part of the drink. According to a Dwarf Associate of mine."

Jaune was there sitting by his table, wearing a set of chain mail as well as metal elbow pads, gauntlets for his hands, a pair of metal greaves on his legs, a grey coat gilded with bits of yellow and gold, as well as having the twin-tailed comet on his right breast-pocket and the Arc Symbol on his left breast-pocket of his coat. 

The most intriguing of attire is his tall stove hat with a skull on it as he placed at his side

And naturally, it would seem that people are ignoring him intentionally as they eyed him with suspicion

On his side was his blade, passed to him by his father as Jaune took a sip of his beer, enjoying the taste it brought to his throat

Ruby looks at Helix. "Why is it in fantasy they always ignore people dressed like that Jaune?"

Nora spoke up. "MAYBE HE'S A RANGER!"

Helix simply gestured to the screen."I believe a little explanation will be made on the screen"

They all look back at the screen.

The screen then showed a man trying to go to Jaune's seat but was intercepted by another. And from what Jaune could hear,
