The world of Remnant has never truly been a safe one. But when compared to the world of it's long forgotten past, is it much safer. The world of that age, was a world of monsters and sorcery. The art of sorcery has however sadly been lost in time. That is if there were no sorcerer or sorceresses left. But there is one left. Her (current) name is Delta, and she's the very last sorceress on Remnant. She is however sadly, at the moment, dead but at the same time alive. Her only anchor to the realm of the living is an incomplete ressurection-ritual and an outsider's choice. But who would willingly sacrifice their life and body to resurrect someone they don't know who's also been (physically) dead for a long time? The answer? A fool. Or in this case, a very unfortunate and depressed, would-have-been-student during Beacon's initiation test.
(Emerald Forest, just outside the cave of the ritual)
An unidentified student was walking around in the Emerald Forest aimlessly, until the student literally fell into the cave. As the student rose themself up from the ground, they noticed the ritual in front of them. They then saw and read the inscription on the edge of the transmutation-circle.
"To return life, one must sacrifice their life and body voluntarally in exchange for the life returned." the student read out loud. "Well it's not like I have anything to return to." said the student as they stepped into the circle and took their own life by shooting themselves in the head with a gun. As their body fell, lifeless across the circle, it began to glow crimson. The student's body deconstructed, and in its place was the body of a teenage girl (due to the age of the sacrifice) constructed. She had very pale skin, (very) long pitch black hair and somehow an outfit. It consisted out of a pair of black thigh high leather boots, a pair of black leather pants, a black leather undershirt and a torn mostly black hooded cape with a few lines of red on it. (A/N: It's the female version of the Noble-outfit, color H) When the transmutation was complete, she began to wake up. Doing so revealed a pair of eyes. The left being sapphire blue and the right being red like blood.
"I'm alive again. But at the cost of some poor fools life. Ah well. Might as well make the most out of my… damn it! I've lost track on how many lives I've had and lost." she thought to herself while she was exiting the cave. Once she got out she took the opportunity to take a few deep breaths of fresh air. She then noticed a small lake and took the opportunity to get a good look at herself. "Gotta say this Delta, for someone who's been dead for a long time and just been resurrected, you're looking good." she then noticed something that she didn't want to have left. Her right arm wasn't normal, it was the arm of a beast, more specifically the Archfiend known as Little Red Riding Hood. (A/N: It's the arm of the Big Bad Wolf from Soul Sacrifice:Delta.) "I guess that some scars never heal. Well at any rate, I should probably try to find some form of civilization around here, but I wonder where I would be able to find any." And as if on cue could she hear someone screaming.
"HEADS UP!" shouted some girl in the distance.
"Guess that answers that." she thought before heading in the direction of the scream.
(Emerald Forest, Forest temple)
Everyone had just been gathered at the temple. They were all on high alert, so when they heard the sound of someone ruffling in a bush they all pointed their guns in the direction of the noise. To say that they were surprised when Delta stumbled out of the bush is an understatement.
"Everyone hold your fire, it's just another initiate. Hi there! Got a name Shrouds?" asked a blonde girl with really long hair. "We would gladly accept any form of backup right now."
"The name's Delta, and I have no idea what's going on. But if it's backup you need, I'll gladly provide it. What do you need help with anyway?" And as if on cue broke a Deathstalker into the clearing. "Scorpions. Why does it have to be a scorpion? I hate scorpions. Ah well… time to get to work." said Delta as she headed towards the Deathstalker.
"Hey get back here! What are you thinking!? Taking on a Deathstalker by yourself is suicide!" shouted a girl with white hair. Delta didn't listen and started to sprint while chanting a spell.
"Pyra Gigante Armas!" when she finished the chant, lava formed out of nowhere around her right arm, which had become a fist. Upon arriving by the Deathstalker she swung her fist forward, and from her arm came a larger fist made out of lava, it was the spell named Pyra Gigante Armas, also known as The Fire Giants Arm, and upon connecting her flaming fist with the Deathstalkers face, sends it flying through the trees. Everyone went slack-jawed after Deltas… unique display of power. She then decided to dispel the spell, before turning around to face the others. "Are you guys planning on standing there all day, or are you gonna get going? If so, may I join you?"
"Sure. Why not?" said a girl with a red cape (or was it a cloak?) who, judging by her voice, was the one who screamed earlier.
"Um guys." said a blonde boy with a shield and sword combination, catching everyone's attention. "That thing is circling back." he continued while pointing at the sky, or more specifically a giant Nevermore. "All in favor of running away, say Aye."
"Aye!" shouted almost everyone in unison.
"Fly to fight another day? Now that's a plan I can get behind." said Delta calmly.
(Emerald Forest, Ruins)
Everyone exited the treeline, weapons drawn, and as for Delta. She had cast the Zeus Hache-spell, also known as the Thundergod-axe, a short time earlier. The axe didn't really look like a normal axe, it was closer in appearance to a five-bladed buzzsaw with electrical properties on a curved handle, which was literally attached to the arm where the hand would have been. Suddenly the Deathstalker from earlier broke through the trees behind them. Delta was definitely not happy to see it again.
"Oh come on! Not you again!" shouted Delta, who was definitely angry. "Anyone in the mood to help me slash, smash or do anything else in between to the scorpion, shouts Bug!"
"Bug!" shouted the soon-to-be Team JNPR.
As they started to attack the Deathstalker, Delta dispelled her axe before casting the Replica Impactum-spell (A/N: Original spell), and punch a nevermore-feather, which had impaled the ground, causing the lower half of her right arm to transform into a Nevermore's wing, with three fingers instead of two. She then swung her new arm in a motion one would make when throwing either shurikens or throwing knives, unleashing a deadly barrage of feathers at the Deathstalker in the process. Most of the feathers just bounced off the Deathstalker's armor, but some managed to hit the Deathstalker in the eyes.
After a long and exhausting fight, JNPR and Delta witnessed the soon-to-be Team RWBY decapitate the Nevermore, before Delta lost consciousness as she collapsed out of exhaustion. When she finally regained consciousness, in the infirmary, was she greeted by a man with an unfamiliar voice, but familiar presence.
"I see that you're finally awake. It's been a long time, hasn't it Delta? Or should I say, Morgana?" said the man.
"Merlin!?" shouted Delta(/Morgana?) in surprise.
A/N: Hi everyone who bothered reading this far. Delta has a few spells in her arsenal that are MY Original spells, the first of which revealed is Replica Impactum. The spell makes her able to replicate and weaponize limbs from monsters by punching them or anything originating from them, as showed with the Nevermore-feather. Should she had used it on the Deathstalker instead, she would have gotten a "swordified" version of it's stinger.
