Team RWBYE- The real story

Chapter 1- The promise

In war, many things, and even people, are lost. In war, it is not about who is right, but it is about who is left. War is a horrible thing invented by humans. But the most terrible thing about war, is that it takes away a piece of yourself that you are never getting back. A piece of you is left behind on that last battlefield and you walk away from it without even looking back.

Believe me, I know how it feels. I experienced it first-hand. I fought in the Second Great War. You probably heard about it, as it was, well as the name says, a pretty big war.

I fought alongside amazing people, the greatest heroes of their time, and maybe even of all time. You probably heard of them too, as their names are engraved in every history book made since the Second Great War. To name some of them: Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos, Lie Ren, Sun Wukong, Neptune Vasilias, Ilia Amitola, and many more. They were, like I already said, amazing people, and amazing friends.

I myself was, am, part of the most famous huntresses team of all time. Our team led the troops in the Second Great War, and ultimately, it was our team who took down Salem and all her second in commands.

I can say for sure you have heard of my teammates. Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long. It is pretty hard to not know them, as in every town you see their names set in monuments, or even statues of themselves. We were known as team RWBYE at that time (pronounced as Ruby, which caused a lot of confusion sometimes).

I can also say for sure you have never heard of team RWBYE, or of me. In the history books the story is told about team RWBY and their friends, who took down Salem and her empire and saved the world.

Well, the story is a bit different than that. Cause I exist (a horrible thing, I know).

We decided about 100 years ago that we wouldn't tell the whole story. We couldn't. If we did, panic would spread across the world, and the last thing we wanted was another war.

So we erased team RWBYE and replaced it with team RWBY. We erased the person who stood for the letter E, and pretended like she never existed, like she wasn't there. We intended to never tell the whole story, but I have got a promise to keep. So I will tell you, tell you about team RWBYE. Tell you about me.

I am the person who represents the E in team RWBYE. I fought in the Second Great War alongside my friends and personally took down Salem. I am Elisabeth, and I am the last one left of team RWBYE and our friends. I have been the last one for almost 30 years by now.

When the last one of my friends died, I promised I would tell the whole story. I promised I would get myself the recognition I always deserved. I don't agree with her. I don't deserve any special treatment. I just did my job. But well, a promise is a promise, and I have never broken any promises in my life and I don't plan on breaking one now. So, here we go.

Author's note: Thank you for reading the first chapter of my first fanfiction ever written! English isn't my first language, so I want to apologize for any mistakes I made.
I have no idea how long this story is going to be, it has been walking around in my head for a loooong time, so I decided to finally share it with the world.

Anyways, see you next time, I hope!
