The Edge of Eternity

by Energywelder

"How about a wager to pass the time?" When gods play games with mortal lives, they often play with loaded dice, and don't really care about who dies. The wager includes the cast of RWBY, kinda. The setting is Medieval, but no Aura or Semblances,so AU. I'm a crass person who believes in realistic dialogue, so T for language, and maybe some romance stuff later.*DISCLAIMER*Educational

1. Prologue

The Edge of Eternity

"How about a wager, to pass the time?"

"The stakes?"

"If I win, I get The Guard, and you take my position with The Army."

"And if I win? You don't really have anything I want."

"You can have my sword."

"Shit odds, and you know it."

A third voice. "I don't know, they sound pretty fair to me."

"Stuff it Fourth, if I wanted your opinion, I'd find it faster to ask your master beforehand; cuts out the middleman, doesn't it? And it doesn't make me more sure of this wager since you have that habit of playing dirty."

"Alright, how about I swear on my own existence, that after the board is set, I waive my rights to interfere in the game; I just rely on my initial setup to win me the game."

"That's a huge advantage to me, is that all?"

"No, to not give the game away to you, I want first move and the better set up."

"Oof, that almost eliminates my advantage entirely."

"Well then name you price."

A moment.

"If I win, I get your two favorite projects, your sword . . . and your ring."

"Oh, is that all? Perhaps you'd like my firstborn too."

"The Guard is very important to me, you want it, you will offer me good odds for it."

"Fine then. Done?"

A sigh

A decision

"Done, pick your pieces, I will have the balance"
