In Remembrance
Lie Ren was sitting in his living room in front of a smoldering fireplace. As he stared into the dying embers he reflected on his life. Confessing his love to Nora Valkyrie, their first date, and first kiss. He smiled his signature small smile. Jaune and Pyrrha's, Ruby and Weiss's and Blake and Yang's marriage…being best man in all three. Ren sighed. Finally getting down on one knee and Nora giving a bone-crushing hug in response to his proposal. He rubbed his side as if feeling an old pain. Their fights and… As he was reminiscing Nora had woke up without him by her side and came downstairs.
"Ren, what are you doing up so late?" Asked Nora who was still wearing her boop shirt even after 70 years. "Sorry I was just remembering the past," Ren answered. "Well, come to bed alright," She yawned. "Alright," He said as he got up."Goodnight," Said Nora. "You too," Replied Ren as he shut off the light. As he closed his eyes he couldn't help but feel uneasy. In his dream he was flying toward a bright light. As he realized what was happening his aura pulsed out and woke up. He finally had to accept it…he was dying.
"Ren what's wrong I felt a huge spike in your aura!" Nora shouted frantically. "Nora, sit down," He said sternly and once she had done so he explained what was happening. "No," Said Nora with tears in her eyes. "Nora we knew this time would come," Ren said calmly. "But I don't want to lose you!" She cried out. He hugged her and said, "Hey, I'll always be in your heart and remember what Ozpin always said…" She looked up and he looked at her expectantly. "…Dying is just a new adventure," Nora finished sniffling."I'm ready Nora," Ren said quietly, "Now let me lay down so I'm comfortable before this journey," He lied down and felt his aura slipping away when Nora poked his nose and said, "Boop," "Love you too," He said with a smile and with that he closed his eyes for the last time.
And a universe away another great man let out his last breath.
Thus he kindly scatters- Rest in Peace Monty Oum.
You will be missed.
Authors note- I did this because in Roosterteeth's message about Monty's death they asked people to do something creative because they think Monty would have liked that.
