  Summary

  What’s your favorite fairy tale?
  Me? Heh… well now, that’s not such an easy question.
  Sit down a spell. Let me tell you a story—one from a time long gone.

  A long, long time ago—before even my time—there were four great kingdoms: Vale, Vacuo, Mistral, and Atlas. Each had its own academies, where they trained Huntsmen—warriors sworn to protect the world from the creatures of Grimm.
  Of them all, Beacon and Atlas were the finest.

  And at Beacon… there was a team.
  One of the best that ever lived. NDGO, they were called.

  There was a former assassin, keepin’ a promise to a love long gone.
  A mountain of a man, more heart and muscle than sense.
  A jaded vigilante, still dreamin’ of a better world.
  And a girl—just a girl, but she was their soul.

  They didn’t start as heroes.
  No, they earned that title. With blood, loss, and fire.
  But in the end… they stood tall. They endured.

  So if you’ve got the time, and the fire’s still warm,
  I’ll tell you the tale.

  The Legend of NDGO.
