In Memorium…
Every character of RWBY stood there, all dressed in dark black clothing. Many were crying, some were comforting, most were doing both. Off to the side, several OCs of various RWBY fanfics stood. There was girl with long purple hair in a high ponytail, a tall, muscular boy wearing Grimm bones and a multitude of others. And standing at the front of the crowd was team ARKG. Grenin wore a smooth black mask over her jaw. When asked, she had simply said, "This day is not for smiling, even if my scars cannot be changed."
In front of the crowd sat a single tombstone, with the words "Monty Oum, may he always be remembered" inscribed on it.
Aaron slowly approached the grave and bowed his head before speaking. "Monty, we all thank you and mourn your passing. Without you nobody standing here would have ever existed and so many stories would remain unwritten. Your work entertained and inspired so many to write and share their ideas with the world and you were always willing to encourage and accept our efforts, making us strive for ever greater heights. You were the reason this great show and fandom existed and for that you will be remembered. To your family I can only offer condolences, as does the author and creator of this story. May you find whatever paradise you believe in and know that you will always be remembered in our hearts."
The boy stepped back, silent tears running down his face. One by one everyone stepped forward, paying their last respects to their creator; to the man who had been cherished and loved for his work by so many.
We'll miss you Monty.
And we will never forget you.
