Chapter One- Escaping the Tundra
The embers of the fireplace lit the rear of the room, casting shadows from the pile of stored lawn chairs and deck tables in the musty basement. I carefully moved through the poorly lit room and I tried to grasp at some firewood in the wood cradle to feed the dying coals before all warmth had left. After I noticed small flames beginning to lick the newly set logs I walked back up the small staircase and passed through our small outdated kitchen and turned into the family living room to gaze outside into the storm we were currently getting buffeted with. You could barely see into the front yard, all you saw was white. The wind howled and occasionally shook the small bungalow I called home, this is why I agreed to stay while my family was away in Cuba.
FLASHBACK!
"You know it won't be the same if you're not with us Honey." My mother said while she packed with a sad look on her face.
'You know I volunteered to stay Mum, relax would you?' I said smiling trying to ease her worries. 'Last time I went I was so red I could barely move for the whole week and didn't enjoy myself at all. This way you don't have to worry about the house or anything while you guys are away because I am here, and you know how responsible a seven-teen year old can be!' I smiled wickedly and widened my eyes for the crazy emphasis, something I have had a habit of doing ever since I was younger but was old enough to embrace my sarcastic yet dark/ macabre sense of humor.
"Right." My mother deadpanned " And what about having any wild parties while we are away? I don't think it needs to be said that that shouldn't happen"
'Mum. I don't have any friends.'
"Oh don't be so melodramatic! What about Li..." She stopped mid sentence but I already knew what she was going to say. She was going to mention Lily, Whom was my best friend ever since we could crawl basically. We did everything together since we were babies. Being neighbors and being the same age also helped quite a bit. She was a total tomboy with hair that seemed to be on fire just like her personality. Ever since I could remember liking girls I had a crush on Lily and though it would be the right thing to tell her how I felt before the summer ended and we started the new high school year. Needless to say that went terrific because six months later I still haven't spoken to her. "I'm sorry. Look, maybe if she stops by she can stay for awhile and you two could patch things up? I know how much she meant to you." I smiled slightly and laughed a very weak and obviously fake laugh.
'Alright Mum I will get right on that, anyway do you not have your bags to finish packing? Your guys flight leaves tomorrow morning if it's not delayed because of this weather.'
END OF FlASHBACK!
Luck for my family the continuous string of storms our small town in Nova Scotia Canada was getting hit by paused for a day so they could fly out, consider it the universe giving my family a freebee. I was glad that they were having fun though, my thoughts drifted to them on the beach while I sat and watched the endless white dance of the wind gusts and snowflakes. I was never one for hot places or even the sun really, I always loved living in the cold snowy realm I do just because of how wicked the blizzards can get its almost hypnotic looking out into the world and just watching the storm run its course. Before I knew it I felt something jump onto the other end of the couch, looking over I saw what I considered to be my only friend now. My little orange tabby cat walked over and plopped himself down on my lap, I smiled and started to par him and instantly heard purrs coming from him. I had little Dante for almost two years now and through all that time he was always by my side whenever the going got rough and when things went bad with Lily he was always with me through my many tear filled nights. As I started to think about Lily I already felt the fragile wall I kept trying to build start to crumble but I stopped myself from going down that thought path. 'How about some gaming to take my mind off all this huh Buddy?' Dante looked up at me with lazy half open cat eyes and yawned, so I took that as a yes. Carefully getting up I held Dante in my arms as I walked down the hallway and went into the open door of my room. Laying down on my bed I looked over at my computer and leaned up while trying not to disturb a sleeping cat in fear of getting a few chunks of flesh removed by his claws for disturbing his sleep. Moving the mouse my monitor came to life and show my desktop background of team RWBY posing with their weapons looking so cool and badass at the same time.
(A.N- Took you long enough to mention something RWBY Related... -_-')
'Ahh, Now that would be great huh Dante? I mean being in Remnant and learning to be a Huntsman would get my mind completely away from everything bothering me right now. No Lily, no homework, no stupid cashier job, It would be hard to focus on that stuff while trying to not get eaten by Beowolves and Ursa'. I looked down and Dante was still sound asleep breathing gently, I smiled at this and grabbed my Xbox 360 Controller and turned on the consol to boot up one of my personal favorite games Devil May Cry 4. I went to the story mode and just started enjoying the hack-n-slash goodness of the game play. Hours went by and then I broke from my gaming haze to find it went from pure white to dark night. ' Wow, I really need to snap to sooner.' I went to go feed Dante and inspected outside a little closer to see that it was in fact still snowing but now visibility was much better and your could see across the single lane street that made our subdivision and I could see Lily's house. It was at that moment I thought I saw Lily wave from her front window, one more thing we had in common was storm watching so she was probably watching the snow fall, With the sight of her I nearly let my emotions get the better of me, I thought of waving back, I thought of finally trying to text her, I thought of running out through the three feet of snow and knocking on her door and hugging her the second she opened it. All of these scenarios played at once making my stomach twist into agonizing knots so I did what I always do, I ran. I pulled the curtains and shut off the lights and ran to my room and shut off all the lights and dove under my blankets biting my lip and clenching my hands into fists so tight they may implode and squeezing my eyes shut all to keep myself from crying. It's been six month for the love of all that is holy! I. NEED. TO. MOVE. ON! As the stomach knots started to subside I finally let my muscles relax and decided it was time for bed. I got up and walked to my bathroom and looked into the mirror as I brushed my teeth. Staring back at me was a six foot and two inch tall blonde teenager with green eyes and a stocky almost chubby build, wearing a JUMP'N'SHOOTMAN! t-shirt and a necklace with a rune inscribed into it to complete the stereotypical nerd look. As I brushed I looked out the small bathroom window and noticed the snow finally had almost let up and a few stray big flakes were just finishing the fall and I started to relax again. "'Maybe I will feel better in the morning, I need to let up and get out of my own head for a little while'".
REMNANT
As Ozpin leaned back in his office chair he turned to look out his window and gazed upon his empty academy grounds. The brilliant structure of Beacon Academy lay before him, grounds empty of students do to summer vacation having just started. He went and took a sip from his signature coffee mug and smiled what seemed to be a knowing smile and spoke softly to himself
"I wonder what new students I am going to have walk through my doors this year? If they are anything like the last group then it's on lying going to make this job all the more interesting." He thought back to all the crazy antics that his students were put through and chuckled, after all, it's what made this job all the more exciting and in his... questionably sane mind rewarding. Before he could get too lost in thought his assistance and right hand Glynda Goodwitch walked into his office.
"Sir, could you please find the time in your obviously busy schedule to finally look through some more of these applicants for next year? I would love to help you if you would like." Glynda said frustration building in her voice as she had an almost literal mountain of paperwork floating behind her, supported by her semblance.
" Ah, of course Glynda, could you just give me on mo..." As the last words were about to leave his lips, Ozpin pressed a button installed under his desk and fell through his emergency escape hatch he had installed and disappeared from view.
"... OOOZZZZZPPIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNN!" If it was possible to taste the essence of rage, Ozpin did as he slid into one of the hallways into the academy itself.
EARTH
Lights streamed through my windows and I blinked and stretched under my blankets, I did not care what the hour was, no way was I going to move any time soon. Unfortunately, Dante, had other plans for my morning. Seeing my movement his more animalistic side reared its head and he dashed from on the pillow next to my head right down to my feet and proceeded to try and sink his teeth into them. Startled I yelp and rolled off onto the floor taking the little ginger tabby with me, there was much yelling, hissing clawing and biting from both parties at that point for a good few minutes. Now that sleep was no longer an option I slipped on my robe and walked into the living room and looked at the damage from the storm. All you could see was white, no street, nor lawn and even the evergreen trees that made up the majority of the surrounding wood were blanked with the miniature crystals. It was still heavily overcast so snow-blindness was not a factor this morning, something I was very glad for. I saw Dante walk up and start rubbing my leg and purring, pulling a complete turn of his earlier behavior.
"Hungry huh? No wonder your sucking up so much you furry little bastard." I stated to him using my less then flattering nickname for him. As time passed I did much of the same as I did yesterday, I gamed, played with Dante, and made breakfast, lunch and so on. Then, in the twilight of dusk the event that triggered the entire change of my life came into view. As I let Dante out for one final time before dark I notice the wind had picked up a bunch of snow in a tiny whirlwind, this happened all the time there was just one thing that was strange, it was not moving. It stayed in the same location which as far as I knew was impossible. I ran inside to get a camera when I arrived at the door to my yard the mysterious gust was still there and it was... wait... glowing? What in the world is going on here? I then noticed Dante walk up and sat in front of it, I panicked and went into protection mode, I grabbed the fire iron and my backpack by the doorway and threw it on in front of my body and a very half hazard piece of armor if you even want to call it that. I had no idea what I was about to get into. Walking through the fresh snow I just needed to get close enough to grab Dante and get out of there, the fire iron made me feel safe but I still have no idea why, perhaps if it's some kind of prank I can whack whoever set this up. Instead Dante crouched, wiggled and pounced right into the swirling vortex and disappeared right in front of me.
"DANTE!" I yelled and instinctively ran after him jumping right after him. I landed on a hard exposed tree root and had the wind knocked out of me, I rolled over to see Dante, safe and sound now sitting on a higher part of the root cleaning himself. "Glad to see your unharmed." I deadpanned. Getting up I looked around my new surroundings and drank them in with awe. For one I knew it was someplace different because it looked to be mid day by the way the light broke through the tree tops, and the tress had lush bright red leaves on them. " Wait... I know this place." I picked up Dante and held him in my arms as I walked to where I saw an open clearing hoping to get a vantage point and hoped that my suspicions were correct, and they were. Off in the distance I saw on the top of a far off cliff a brilliant white structure with various buildings surrounding the outer what could only be described as a luxurious looking structure. "Oh my Mayneth... IM ON REMNANT!" I screamed to the sky and started laughing to myself almost hysterically. My joy was cut short however by the low guttural growl I heard at the other end of the clearing I was in. "...oh my Mayneth... I'm on Remnant..." I then took off towards the Cliffside housing what I only hoped was Beacon Academy.
