A White Rose under the sea
Chapter 1
Winds blowing though the sails and her body, Ruby Rose, captain of the Crescent Rose, looked outward towards the horizon. All her pirate life, with her crew, Jaune Arc, Pyrrha Nikos, Lie Ren, Nora Valkrie, Blake Belladonna, and her older half sister, Yang Xiao Long, she had felt like she had everything she would ever need. Sure, the life of a pirate had it's own risks, but at the same time, almost everything in life had it's own risk, hidden or otherwise. And even then, they only take what they can carry, so they only took what they need to survive. They never killed anyone, only ever disarming and disabling. They had a happy life. The life of a "honorable pirate" was the life they all wanted. What ever they didn't spend on themselves and supplies, they gave to the poor and the needy. Everyone who wasn't a part of the White Fang Navy called them the "Robin Hoods on the ocean".
Ruby let herself close her eyes, as her ship creaked against the waves, the wind blowing across everything that was in sight, she sighed. She was far from being the prefect captain, but everyone chose her for her kind heart, and her unbreakable spirit. Opening her eyes, she found the full moon shining, lighting everything with it's pale light. Ruby got up. They had docked near Vale, a kingdom that was waging a war with the White Fang. Since Ruby and her crew only stole from White Fangs cargo ships, her friends and herself were welcomed to Vale with open arms.
Looking to her right, she saw something glow in the moonlight, almost beckoning her to it. Disembarking her vessel, she ran towards the light. There was no worry about the Crescent Rose being stolen. All her crew were awake, and she knew that this port was safe from White Fang attacks. As she left her vessel, she moved toward the glowing object, wondering what it was. As she got closer, a strange clam washed over her, like she had meet someone she a known for her entire life. Like an old friend. Once she had reached the glowing object, she picked it up. It was a Moonstone, a gemstone that could fetch thousands to the right buyer.
As she looked into the gem, she heard a voice calling her. "Ruby" It was a soft and gentle voice. Like a warm breeze on a summer day. She turned to the direction the voice came from. She was surprised to find she was looking back out towards the ocean. "Ruby" As Ruby walked toward the surfs edge, the voice got louder. Ruby!" Ruby turned around, and saw nothing. As she tried her best to rationalize everything, she summarized it as fatigue. They had been sailing non stop for close to a week. Everyone was tired, and they asked Ruby if they could stop in Vale to resupply and rest. She agreed that spending some time on dry land might do them good. She turned to go back to her ship, but felt a presence behind her. As she turned, she saw a glowing figure standing in front of her. As Ruby looked in awe, the figure pointed to the Crescent Rose, then to the sea. Before she could ask what it meant, it faded away. Ruby, more confused then scared, ran back to her ship. As she ran, she stuffed the Moonstone in her jacket pocket, she wanted answers to what just happened, and she knew the Moonstone had something to do with it.
As she drew closer to her vessel, her sister, Yang, was waiting for her. "Hey Ruby. Where did you go? Everyone was wondering where you vanished to." Ruby looked behind her. "I just wanted a walk Yang. It was nothing. Do we have all the supplies we need.?" Yang shook her head. "We need more pistols and gunpowder. Buddy wasn't open when Blake and I were there. We'll go first thing tomorrow. We'll be back before anyone knows it, then we had back out to sea." Ruby nodded. "Good. The sooner we get back to the open ocean the better. I'm going to go to bed Yang. I'll see you in the morning." Yang nodded in return. "Okay sis. Odds are Blake and I will be gone by the time you wake up. If we are, we still haven't gotten back from the armory." "Okay, take as long as you need. Odds are, this will be the last time we're docked here in Vale. Will you tell Governor Ozpin we're leaving on your way back?" Yang nodded again. "Okay. He said he had something for you anyway. I'll stop by, pick it up, and then we can get out of here." Ruby thanked her sister, and went to the captains quarters.
A rather spacious room, even for pirate standards, her bed was a king sized bed, with a solid wooden frame, with red curtains hanging over it. Her room was the the biggest room on the whole ship, with the treasure room acting as second, and living quarters for everyone as third. She dug out the Moonstone, and held it up to the moonlight. She felt that same calm wash over her again, yet had no idea why. The put the Moonstone on the desk next to her bed. She walked to the sink in her bathroom, poured some water in the sink, and splashed water on her face. As she walked towards the bed, she took off her clothes to her bare form. Everyone questioned her choice to sleep naked, but she didn't care. She could everything at once. The soft silk of the sheets, the fabric the bed that cooled her body, and the pillows that offered her a place for her head. She crawled under the sheets, and she felt the weight of night lift off her. As she blew the lantern next to her bed out, the moonlight spilled into her room, and she felt the most calm she had for a long time. She closed her eyes, and dreams of strawberries filled her head.
As the night passed, a figure passed over Ruby, and took hold of the Moonstone. As the figure looked at Ruby, the smile of Ruby's dream on her face. As the figure placed the Moonstone back in it's place, it glowed brighter then it had before. The figure then vanished, like they had never been there.
