Hello everyone, I'm here with another chapter of Legend of RWBY.
And in this chapter we will enter the town of Domina, and go through the first quest of the game.
Oh and reunite with Jaune, that too.
Anyway let's get on with the chapter, also this story will mainly be in third person so keep that in mind.
[[]]
[Domina, with Ruby]
"We're here." Damien said as he, Flora and Ruby stood atop the hill overlooking the small village of Domina.
"I thought you said Domina was close." Ruby said, "That was a whole days travel!"
"It wasn't that bad." Flora said, "Come on let's have a look around."
Ruby nodded and the three of them walked down the hill to the main entrance of Domina, where they saw an unexpected sight.
A man wearing a green cap that extended into a green cape wearing a shirt that revealed his chest and puffy pants with a sword in a very decorated sheathe was walking away from a shorter person with a giant onion covering most of his face and was basically wearing a blue cloth sack and red shoes holding a crude spear.
"Hey, can I at least get your name!" He shorter figure asked, causing the taller one to stop.
"... Elazul." The man said before continuing into the tavern.
"Yeesh, what a jerk." the shorter one said turning around.
"I wonder what that was about?" Ruby asked.
"Let's head to the tavern to find out." Damien said.
"Alright then." Ruby running up ahead to the tavern, only to have to door slam in to her face.
"OW!" Ruby cried as she fell over.
"Oh sorry, can you move aside please, it's important to share." Said a voice coming from the now open door.
The best way to describe the man that opened it is a fat, anthropomorphic rabbit wearing a green poncho and hat a hat tied to his back.
"Watch it jerk, you're the one who slammed the door in her face." Flora scolded helping Ruby up and moving her out of the way.
The rabbit man didn't say anything as he continued on his way.
"Jackass." Flora said when he was gone.

The trio entered the tavern where they saw (And heard) Elazul shouting at a blue haired girl with fairy wings.
"What's going on down there?" the voice of someone Ruby's knows well asked as Jaune stepped onto the first floor.
"JAAAAAUUUNNNNEEE!" Ruby shouted at the top of her lungs and made a dash for her friend.
"Ruby!?" Jaune shouted just before he had the wind knocked out of him by Ruby's bone crushing hug.
"Jaune I'm glad you're okay, I thought it was just me here." Ruby squealed.
"I'm fine, Ruby." Jaune said, "But... What about Pyrrha?"
Ruby's enthusiasm died in an instant, "I'm sorry, I wasn't fast enough." Ruby cried.
Jaune was silent for a moment, "It's fine Ruby, you did your best." Jaune finally said.
"Hey Ruby." Damien said approaching, "Flora and I had a chat with the Elazul guy, turns out an important friend of his is missing and Flora agreed to help him." Then Damien looked at Jaune, "You're... Jaune Arc right?"
"Uh... yeah, I guess Ruby told you about me." Jaune said.
"Yeah, you want to come along and help us with this?" Damien asked.
"Sure." Jaune said nodding and grabbing Crocea Mors.

The group of five stood at the hill top three of the five had arrived at entering Domina, Damien holding a jade colored egg the size of his head.
Damien closed his eyes and the egg vanished very quickly, "The Mekiv Caverns have been restored." He said.
"Then lets go, now." Elazul said.
"Yeesh, what stick got shoved up that guy's ass?" Flora asked.
But Ruby noticed something about Elazul that she didn't notice before.
A perfectly round Lapis Lazuli imbedded over his heart.
So while they were traveling Ruby walked up to Elazul, "Umm... Excuse me, Mister Elazul?" Ruby asked.
"Yes?" Elazul asked.
"What's with the umm..." Ruby asked trying to think of the right way to word her question.
"The Lapis Lazuli in my heart?" Elazul assumed, "I'm a Jumi, we're a race that cores of jewels or similar rare ores. It's basically our heart."
"Oh... so, shouldn't you be trying to protect it or something?" Ruby asked.
"A Jumi's core can sense the presence of other Jumi through their cores, should one be covered it becomes much harder for the cores to sense one another." Elazul explained flatly.
"Oh... that's a good reason." Ruby said.
"What's your name kid?" Elazul asked.
"Ruby Rose." Ruby said.
"If you hadn't asked me about Jumi cores I would have assumed you'd be a Jumi with a name like that. The names of many Jumi are a bit of a play on the type of ore that our core is." Elazul said.
"Oh boy, my sister would have a field day if she meets a Jumi, she find's any kind of pun funny." Ruby groaned slowing back down to Jaune.

The quintet of warriors arrived in the Mekiv caverns, where they saw the Onion headed warrior had somehow managed to beat them there.
Elazul stepped ahead of the group, his core flashing brightly for a moment, "I can sense Pearl, she's nearby." He said.
"Then let's not waste any time." Damien said as he lead the group through the upper path of the first fork in the cave.
The group soon ran into a trio of large red bats with big eyes, Bloodsuckers.
"Let's take care of these so we can get to Pearl." Elazul said drawing his sword.
Before anyone else could do anything three large bangs filled the cavern and the three Bloodsuckers burst into feathers, oddly enough.
The three residents of Fa'Diel turned to see Ruby holding Crescent Rose in it's rifle mode, with the muzzle smoking, "What? You wanted them gone fast." Ruby said.
"Such a strange weapon." Damien said.
"Ruby you should probably save your ammo, we can't exactly buy more seeing as I never saw a gun in Domina." Jaune said.
"Oh... I guess that's true." Ruby said shifting Crescent Rose into a scythe.
The group continued onward encountering two more Bloodsuckers and a large blue crab called a Pincher Crab, three three monsters didn't last long.
Not too long after clearing out those monsters they encountered a creature called a Poto, which had a tiny grey body with a pointed head and a parasaur crest on it's head.
Following one last tunnel they encountered more Bloodsuckers and a walking mushroom like creature the can throw it''s top called a Mushboom.
Finally they made it to a shorter tunnel that was occupied by someone.
A red haired woman with her hair tied in two different places on the side of her head, gravity seemingly failing to do it job in bringing the hair down, she also wore purple boots and a long green dress.
Ruby, and Jaune easily got a bad feeling about this girl.
"Pearls up ahead." The woman said as the group approached, "You should probably hurry if you want to save her."
"Who are you? How do you know Pearl!?" Elazul demanded drawing his sword.
The woman ignored her and turned to the remaining four, "You probably should hang around his kind too long, you might get turned to stone." The woman said.
Elazul gasped while the other four looked confused, "You have any idea what she's talking about Ruby?" Jaune asked.
The woman raised an eyebrow at Ruby's name, but before anyone could say anything something else cut through the silence.
"AAAHHH!" A woman's shout was heard coming form the next room.
"Pearl!" Elazul called out rushing down the tunnel, the other four following along.
"Interesting..." The woman said to herself before she tossed a grappling hook to a stalactite and pulled herself away.

[OST Legend of mana: Pain of the Universe]
The five warriors ran into the room only to quickly stop and duck as a massive pickaxe over twice their size made of some kind of skull flew over their heads before it started going backwards like a boomerang and being caught by a massive purple furred ape-like creature.
This was Du'Inke.
Everyone drew their weapon as Du'Inke swung it's pickaxe at the group.
Jaune ducked under the swing as everyone ran in different directions to avoid the attack.
Damien, who had run forward to dodge the attack, was the closest to Du'Inke and as such landed the first attack of the fight with his 2 handed Sword striking the ape's side.
Ruby and Flora joined in the attack at the same time with Flora leaping up and stabbing Du'Inke in the back with her spear and Ruby using her Semblance to dash across the area landing quick slashes on the ape.
Du'Inke then raised his pickaxe and slammed it on the ground, causing the cavern to tremble and making stalactite fall to the ground.
"Move!" Elazul called grabbing Jaune and pulling him back.
"Thank's" Jaune said before he charged forward at the exposed ape.
Elazul eyed Jaune for a moment before closing his eyes and focusing his energy into his weapon.
Line's of blue and yellow mana filled the air, focusing on his sword before they faded, and Elazul suddenly shot toward Du'Inke and slashed, when the slash connected a beam of blue energy shot out as Du'Inke was sent tumbling back from the sheer force of the attack.
Du'Inke slowly stood up huffing tiredly before taking a deep breath and letting out a large breath at the group.
Everyone dodged except for Damien, who found himself encased in a snowman, complete with stick arms, bucket hat, and carrot nose.
Du'Inke huffed tiredly as he raised his pickaxe, only to let out one last groan as he fell over backwards, causing another quake in the cave that caused stalactite to fall and bury the ape.
[End OST]
Everyone put there weapons away at that sight, Ruby and Jaune cringing at the death of the ape, getting crushed is not a pretty way to go.
"Pearl, where are you?" Elazul asked as his core flashed again.
This time a pale white flash caught the attention of the others as a blonde haired girl wearing a long white dress with red trim stepped out nervously from a cluster of stalacmite.
"Elazul." Pearl said in relief.
"Pearl, are you hurt?" Elazul asked.
"No, I'm fine." Pearl said.
Elazul sighed in relief before his gaze hardened, "What were you doing here?"
"I... I was thinking, and the I started to wander... and then I got lost." Pearl admitted.
"Pearl, I told you not to think so hard." Elazul scolded.
"Hey lay off her!" Ruby shouted, causing Pearl to jump.
"Who are these people?" Pearl asked.
"Just some people who helped me find you." Elazul said, "Come on, let's get back to Domina."
"Okay." Pearl said nodding.
Elazul turned around and began walking away as Pearl walked up to the rest of the group, "Thank you for your help, here, this isn't much but I want you to have it." Pearl said handing Damien a eye made of stone and a lamp shaped like a purple closed flower pointing downward.
The Artifact's Stone Eye and Firefly Lamp respectively.
"You're welcome." Jaune said.
"Pearl!" Elazul called stopping.
"Coming!" Pearl shouted back before following her fellow Jumi.
"Well that was interesting." Jaune said.
"It certainly was, anyway, let's head back to our home and rest up a bit, Lil' Cactus would like to hear this story." Flora said walking away.
"And Jaune, I need to talk to you about your fighting style a bit when we get back." Damien said.
"Aw man." Jaune moped.
"It's okay Jaune." Ruby said patting the Huntsman in trainings back.

Alright everyone, that's the chapter for today.
Now I'll say this, the story this will follow will be roughly the same as the play through of LoM I'm playing right now (Minus my Egg/Spirit hunts and extensive grinding sessions)
Anyway I'll see you all in my next update.
