Well that first chapter was better received than I thought it would justified, and I should feel ashamed of myself for making that mistake in the first place. I'm speaking of course of my misspelling of Yol Toor Shul as Yol Tor Shal. I actually agree with the reviewer who pointed that out, that spelling is important in the case of the Dragon Shouts. The real embarrassing part is I actually had a page of all the dragon shouts up while writing the last chapter.
Anyway I am still looking for suggestions for pairings. As a reminder here are the pairings so far.
Getsuga x Weiss
Kuyou x Velvet
Jaune x Pyrrha
Blake x Sun
Again if people want a kind of pairing that would cause one of these to be altered I am willing to be flexible. Say for example, someone wanted a Silver x Pyrrha, I'd be willing to go for it if people wanted it enough. But please, only request it if you actually want it and not because I put the idea in your heads. Also I will have Seranna available as an option for Kyr, but like I said, I'm willing to be flexible, so if you want Seranna with someone else, I won't say no.
Also pairings I will not do: Getsuga x Neo, Yang x Blake, and Weiss x Ruby.
For Getsuga x Neo, I will not say why I won't do that pair, only that it has to do with this story's version of Getsuga's backstory, and that you will find out by the end of Volume 1.
As for the other two, it is not because I'm opposed to same sex relationships, I just see those particular pairings everywhere and I'm sick of them. Any other same sex pairing I'd be fine with though, so if you want to suggest a Blake x Weiss pairing, I'd be fine with it. Come to think of it that would actually be an interesting pairing.
Anyway how about that last episode of RWBY? Tyrian is a friggin boss.
Disclaimer: I do not own Skyrim or RWBY. If I did, Yang wouldn't have been reduced to an Emo
Chapter 1: The Shining Beacon
"You want to come to my school?" Ozpin asked the girl called Ruby Rose in front of him.
"More than anything," she replied.
"Well okay then," Ozpin replied.
"But first, before you go, there is somebody I want you to meet," he added. Ruby looked confused, but Goodwitch had a look of realization.
"You don't mean…" she began, but Ozpin just nodded.
"He's barely adjusting…" she began, but Ozpin interrupted her once again with his next sentence.
"That's why I'm specifically having her meet him now at a time where he'll be at his outlet."
Goodwitch nodded at that.
Vale – formerly known as Morrowind
(Anyone has any better ideas for what Vale was formerly PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO LEAVE A REVIEW OR PM. I WILL GENUINELY BE GRATEFUL)
(Vale Gym)
Kyr Stormblade was wearing a black tank top, grey sweatpants, black sneakers, and his Ebony gauntlets, which were enchanted to increase the power of his unarmed attacks.
And he was wailing on the punching bag as voices were constantly going through his head.
May Talos be with us all!
Farkas no!
Aela, you're the last beast, you can't die here!
I await you in Sovengarde
You will be home soon Dragonborn
He lives. The Dragonborn lives.
At that last image Kyr punched that bag so hard it flew of its hinges.
Kyr then walked toward a line of other bags when he suddenly heard a voice say, "THAT WAS SO COOL!"
He looked toward the entrance and saw Ozpin with a girl in a red hood.
She wouldn't have looked too out of place in his era.
"You were all like, pow pow, hya boom," said the girl as she was making punching motions.
Kyr looked at Ozpin confused.
"This is Ruby Rose, she will be attending Beacon with you," Ozpin explained.
"Kyr Stormblade," he said to Ruby.
"So are those Gauntlets your weapons," she asked.
"Nah they just add extra power to my punches. They're part of my combat armor," Kyr replied.
He then went to his gym bags, and pulled out his Storm Blade.
"This is my weapon, the Storm Blade, and before you ask; no I did not name my weapon after myself. I named myself after my weapon," Kyr explained, while Ruby had stars in her eyes.
"Why Stormblade?" she asked.
"Well firstly it's a relic from the Stormcloak rebellion," Kyr explained as the stars in Ruby's eyes glew brighter.
"Are you saying that's the very same weapon used by General Stormblade?" she asked.
Kyr looked at her, "You know of him," he asked.
"He was my idol growing up," she said, "He was my favorite hero of all the stories I read."
Although Ruby didn't notice it, Kyr gave a sad smile.
"Well can you tell me the other reason it's called Storm Blade then?" he asked.
"It naturally generates lightning," she said.
Kyr proceeded to do so with the Storm Blade and grinned at her, "very good he said."
He reached into his bag and pulled out his other weapon, "This is the Blade of Woe," he said.
"It's tale is a bit sadder."
"Ruby I think it's time to go," said Opzin.
Ruby and Ozpin walked out.
(Outside the Vale Gym)
"Doesn't he seem a bit old to go to Beacon?" asked Ruby.
Ozpin smiled sadly before answering, "Well you see," Ozpin explained.
"Kyr recently woke up from a coma. I don't even know how long he's been there. I can only assume it's been at least long enough that's he's never been to a single huntsman academy."
Ruby had tears that on how sad that was.
(Beacon Bullhead)
"Ooh I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me. This is the best day ever," said Yang wrapping her sister in a bear hug.
"Yang… please… stop," Ruby gasped.
"But I'm so proud of you," said Yang letting go of her Sister, "Everyone at Beacon is going to think you're the bee's knees."
"I don't want to be the bees knees, I don't want to be any kind of knees, I just want to be a normal girl, with normal knees," said Ruby.
"What's wrong aren't you excited?" asked Yang.
"I am it's just," Ruby sighed, "I got moved ahead two years. I don't want anybody to think I'm special."
"And it is that line of thinking that makes you worthy of being a true huntress," said a voice Ruby recognized and sure enough, she turned in the direction of the voice to see none other than,
"Kyr," said Ruby excited.
For sure enough Kyr was there in his full combat armor minus the helmet.
"What do you mean?" asked Yang.
"I mean that believing you're special leads to overconfidence, which leads to arrogance, which leads to demise," Kyr explained.
He then hung his head before adding, "I know it all too well."
Ruby was remembering what Ozpin said about Kyr waking up from a coma when Kyr suddenly got his smile back.
"But pardon me, where are my manners," he said turning to Yang and holding his hand out, "The name is Kyr Stormblade, pleasure to meet you."
Yang had brief look of astonishment before grabbing his hand and saying "I'm Yang Xiao Long, Ruby's older sister."
Kyr nodded.
At that point the news had just finished talking about Torchwick and then Lisa Lavender was talking about a Faunus vigilante known as "The Wolverine" and their recent clash with the White Fang.
"The Wolverine himself was unavailable for comment…" Lisa began before being replaced by a hologram of Goodwitch.
"Greetings everyone," said Goodwitch.
"Who's that?" Yang asked.
"I am Glynda Goodwitch," she said.
"Oh," Yang said.
Kyr could only feel awkward as he recognized Goodwitch as the woman posing as the inn keeper.
Did this era even still have inns? Maybe.
But yeah, she was only trying to reduce the shock value of Kyr being in an unfamiliar era. And her responded by threatening to gut her, before jumping out a window. If he wasn't a Nord, he might have suddenly frozen to death. Atlas really did used to be Skyrim.
As Kyr was thinking about all of this, Goodwitch already finished her speech.
"Oh wow," said Ruby noticing the view which Yang and Kyr followed her to.
"Look you can see Signal from up here," said Ruby.
"I have no clue what that is," said Kyr.
Ruby and Yang said nothing on that, for different reasons.
"I guess home isn't too far after all," said Ruby.
Kyr looked sad at that thought of home.
Yang put an arm around both Ruby and Kyr, "Beacons our home now," she said.
They then heard a noise come from a blond guy in armor as he began to throw up.
"I guess the view isn't for everyone," said Yang.
"It was a nice moment while it lasted," said Ruby.
"Indeed," said Kyr.
"I wonder if we will meet anyone new," wondered Yang.
"I just hope they're better than vomit boy," said Ruby.
"Anyone I meet will be new," said Kyr.
Ruby and Yang both understood what he meant, again for different reasons.
(Beacon landing dock)
Kyr, Yang, and Ruby got off the airship when Kyr said that Ozpin wanted to talk to him about something as Ruby was gushing over weapons.
"Why would I need to make friends when I have you?" Ruby eventually asked Yang.
Then a bunch of people whisked Yang away as she said her friends were here.
"Wait, don't we have to go to our dorms? Where are our dorms? Do we have dorms? I don't know what I'm doing," she said as she fell onto someone's luggage.
Or at least she would have if a blue-haired guy in gray hoodie hadn't pulled her to the side before she could do so.
"That was a close one," said the blue-haired one.
Then the blue-haired one noticed the logo on the luggage, "A real close one," he added.
"Do you have any idea what you almost knocked over?!" shouted the white-haired owner of the bags.
She then started waving the dust in Ruby's face while ranting who then proceeded to sneeze and cause an explosion.
Luckily the blue-haired Faunus spun Ruby around before she did.
Weiss then started shouting at Ruby again who responded, "I'm sorry Princess."
"It's heiress actually," said a black-haired girl with a bow.
The blue-haired faunus decided to speak up, "Weiss Shnee, heiress to the Shnee dust company, highest producers of Dust."
Weiss then decided to acknowledge the blue-haired faunus, and she could only tell he was a faunus due to his canines, so he might have been a half-breed.
"And you are?" she asked.
"Oh right where are my manners," said the blue haired faunus grinning and holding out his hand for Weiss.
"I am Getsuga Kuroyin, and it is an honor to finally meet you Weiss," he said, "you really do resemble your sister."
Weiss's eyes widened in recognition, "You're the one Winter told me about."
Getsuga nodded.
The black-haired girl then decided to add "The same company is also known for their shady business deals, overtaxing their workers, and their questionable business partners."
"Wow that's just harsh Blake," replied Getsuga.
Blake narrowed her eyes the fact that Getsuga knew her name.
After some stuff happened, Weiss stormed off, Blake walked off, Getsuga chased after Blake and Ruby fell over.
Then the blonde-haired armor guy showed up to help her up who was then followed by Kyr.
With Getsuga and Blake
"Hey Blake wait up," shouted Getsuga.
Blake just turned towards him looking slightly annoyed.
"Why are you following me?" she asked.
"You really don't remember me do you?" asked Getsuga.
Blake looked confused at this.
Getsuga shrugged, "I suppose it only makes sense," he said, "It has been 5 years," he added then pointed to his hair, "Only this used to be black, and this," he continued pointing to the claw mark on his left eye, "Wasn't inflicted upon me yet."
At that Blake suddenly had a look of recognition, "Lil, Getsu?" she asked.
Getsuga nodded with a grin.
"I thought you were dead," she said, "Where have you been this whole time?" she asked.
"I've been in Atlas. I guess you could say I was in some sort of witness protection program sponsored by the Shnee Dust company."
Blake somehow knew he wasn't telling the whole truth but didn't push it.
"What happened that night, my dad even held a memorial for you and everything."
Getsuga just had flashes, fire everywhere, a jagged red blade, a grimm mask, a haunting insane laughter.
"I don't want to talk about it," said Getsuga suddenly coldly.
"Look you disappear for 5 years, and you expect me to back down and…"
"Look if the guy doesn't want to say anything, then he shouldn't have to," said a third individual walking towards them.
The guy had fox ears, dirty blonde hair, orange eyes, a white cloth jacket with no shirt underneath, white cloth pants, no shoes, and at his side he had a scimitar, a repeater pistol, and a chain around his waist like a belt.
"This doesn't concern you," said Blake.
The fox faunus held his hands up, "Hey I understand this is none of my business, I only heard the last bit of the conversation as I was passing by," he said.
But then he put his hands down and said in a more somber tone, "However I know all too well the look of someone going through PTSD."
Blake looked shocked at this as Getsuga looked grateful.
"The names Kuyou, Kuyou Vulcan, but you might know me better as "The Kitsune," Kuyou said with a grin.
Blake and Getsuga's eyes widened in recognition.
"No autographs please. I only became a bounty hunter to feed myself. After all the only law in Vacuo is to survive."
Getsuga held out his hand, "well I'm Getsuga Kuroyin."
Kuyou accepted the hand, but as he did he remembered something.
He had heard the name Kuroyin before.
It was on the bounty list, wanted by the Shnee dust company for so many crimes, Kagega Kuroyin had a bounty of over 100 billion lien.
He had never pursued that bounty before as that target was in Atlas and with a bounty that high, he had to be one of the most dangerous people alive.
Perhaps it was coincidence, they shared the same last name.
He would rather not press the issue though.
That was a question for another day.
With Ruby, Jaune and Kyr
"Look I'm just saying motion sickness is a lot more common than people think," said the blonde armored guy.
"Look I'm sorry but vomit boy is just the first thing that came to mind," said Ruby defensively.
"Yeah well what if I called you crater face?" asked the blonde guy.
Then he turned to Kyr, "Or you… I got nothing."
"Dragon breath?" Kyr suggested helpfully.
The blonde guy just sighed before perking up, "Anyway, name's Jaune Arc, short sweet, rolls off the tounge, lady's love it."
"Do they really?" asked Ruby.
"Well they will," said Jaune awkwardly, "My mom always says… well never mind."
…
"So I've got this," said Ruby pulling out Crescent Rose.
Jaune and Kyr both stepped back in surprise.
"Is that a scythe?" Kyr asked.
"It's also a combat action assault rifle," said Ruby.
Kyr and Jaune just blinked.
"What?" asked Jaune.
"It's also a gun," said Ruby.
"Oh," said Jaune.
"What about you?" asked Ruby.
"Well I've got this," said Jaune pulling out his sword and shield.
"Ooh what do they do?" asked Ruby.
"Well the shield gets smaller so it's easier to carry around," said Jaune as he collapsed his shield and started stumbling around.
"But wouldn't it weigh the same?" asked Ruby.
"Yes," said Jaune looking dismayed.
"Well I suppose I went a bit overboard with designing mine being a weapons nerd."
"You made that?" asked Jaune and Kyr.
"Yeah all students at Signal made their own weapons?" she said, turning to Jaune, "didn't you make yours?"
"This was a hand me down from my grandfather," said Jaune.
"Well I like it, not many people have an appreciation for the classics like you and Kyr," said Ruby.
Jaune then looked at Kyr, "What have you got?"
"Ooh show him," said Ruby excited.
Kyr grinned, and pulled Storm Blade off his back and swung it around as it crackled with electricity, "Meet Storm Blade," he said.
"And before you ask Jaune, no I didn't name my weapon after myself, I named myself after my weapon."
Jaune got wide eyed at that, "Would that happen to be the same Storm Blade from the Stormcloak rebellion?" he asked.
"Yep," said Kyr.
"So does anybody know where we are going?" asked Ruby.
"I was following you," said Jaune.
"I've never been to Vale until a few days ago," said Kyr.
(Beacon Assembly Hall)
Silver Draconis and Pyrrha Nikos were standing in the assembly hall when three new arrivals walked in.
There was a girl in a red hood, a blonde guy in white armor, and…
Silver did a double take at the black haired guy.
"What is it?" asked Pyrrha, noticing Silver's double take.
"That emblem on the middle guy's chest," said Silver.
"What about it?" Pyrrha asked.
Silver looked at Pyrrha, "That's the Stormcloak emblem."
Pyrrha grew wide eyed at this as Silver had told her his family history.
How after the fall of the Aldmeri Dominion, the Empire during the Draconis Dynasty, had assisted the Stormcloaks in the search for the hero, Kyr Stormblade, also known as the Dragonborn, who had crashed into the Sea of Ghosts on the earliest form of an air ship.
The Draconis family was told for many generations to be on the look out for certain qualities.
The name Kyr Stormblade, the Weapon Storm Blade, use of the Thu'um, any ballads he would have known, and the Stormcloak emblem.
Silver decided to keep an eye on this new guy who already looked too old to be a first year.
Kyr, Jaune, and Ruby walked into the hall (I just realized as I was typing that that it sounded like the beginning of a bad joke lol)
"Ruby, Kyr, I saved you two a spot," said Yang.
"Oh that's my sister, nice meeting you," said Ruby.
"Wait," said Jaune.
Kyr patted Jaune on the shoulder, "I hope to see you soon," he said.
Jaune just sighed, "Great, now where am I going to find another nice quirky girl to talk to?"
Silver heard that last bit and proceeded to look towards Pyrrha.
"What?" asked Pyrrha confused.
"So how is your first day going little sister?" Yang asked.
"You mean since you ditched me and I exploded?" Ruby asked.
"Geez meltdown already?" Yang asked.
"No she literally exploded hole in front of the school," said Kyr, "I could see it when I was on my way back from talking with Ozpin, there was fire, and some ice as well for some reason."
"Are you two being sarcastic?" Yang asked.
Then Ruby started ranting about what happened, not noticing Weiss right behind her.
Kyr was about to say something when Weiss just shouted "You!" causing Ruby to jump into Yang's arms screaming "Oh no its happening again!"
"Do you have any idea how much damage you could have caused?" Weiss asked.
"Oh my gosh you really exploded," said Yang.
As Ruby and Weiss started arguing, Getsuga and Kuyou started approaching.
"Hey Weiss," said Getsuga.
Weiss turned towards Getsuga, "Getsuga right?"
Getsuga nodded.
His fox faunus companion just said, "So you're a Shnee?"
"Yeah what about it?" asked Weiss angrily having gotten a lot of crap from Faunus already.
But to her surprise, the fox faunus just put his hands up defensively before saying "Whoa, I'm just saying that it's nice to see one of my most frequent employers in person for once."
When Weiss looked confused he added, "Allow me to introduce myself, the name is Kuyou Vulcan, but you might know me better as 'The Kitsune.'"
Weiss's eyes widened, "As in the legendary bounty hunter of Vacuo?" she asked.
"In the flesh," Kuyou responded, "No autographs," he added automatically.
"I've collected some bounties for your company. Sometimes they would pay part of it in Dust. Saves me a lot of trouble trekking across the Desert to buy more ammunition."
At that point Professor Ozpin decided to begin his speech as he pushed his glasses up.
"I'll keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you finish, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. You assime knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will only prove that knowledge can only take you so far. It is up to you to take the first step."
Ozpin then walked off as Glynda stepped up, "You will gather in the ballroom tonight, tomorrow your initiation begins, be ready. You are dismissed."
"He seemed Kinda off," said Yang.
"Almost like he wasn't even there," said Ruby.
But Kyr after what he went through in Skyrim knew just how much truth there was to Ozpin's words.
(Ballroom)
Kyr, Getsuga, and Kuyou had hit it off.
Kyr was however curious about the Silver-eyed boy who kept eyeing him.
He was than alerted to an argument coming from Weiss which he, Getsuga, and Kuyou decided to investigate, with Kyr carrying his lute.
Getsuga wearing his Silver pajamas along with his black gloves, and Kyr and Kuyou in just pants.
"Shh she's right people are trying to sleep," said Ruby.
"Oh so now you're on my side!" shouted Weiss.
"I was always on your side," said Ruby.
"Well since you decided to wake everyone up how about I send us to bed with a balad," said Kyr.
"You play?" asked Weiss noticing the Lute.
Yang was just interested in Kyr's manly chest while Blake noticed all of the scars across his body.
Kyr nodded, "Only ancient balads at the moment though."
"Well I always enjoy a balad," said Ruby.
Blake had no complaints.
"Alright," said Kyr pulling his Lute into postion, "This one's an ode to the Hero of Skyrim… The Dragonborn, it's called Tale of the Tounges."
(Imagine him sounding like Cranius Presents)
Alduin's Wings they did darken the sky
His roar fury's fire and his scales sharpened scythes
Men ran and they cowered, and they fought and they died
They burned and they bled as the issued their cries
We need saviors to free us from Alduin's Rage
Heroes on the field of a new war to wage
And if Alduin wins man is gone from this world
Lost in the shadows of the black wings unfurled
But then came the Tongues on that terrible day
Steadfast as winter they entered the fray
And all heard the music of Alduin's doom
Sweet songs of Skyrim, sky shattering Thu'um
And so the Tongues freed us from Alduin's rage
Gave the gift of the Voice, ushered in a new age
And if Alduin is eternal, then eternity's done
For his story is over, and the dragons are gone
And chapter's done. Man that took so long. After I began this I had final exams, having to help my family out with Christmas, while also trying to catch up on Bones before the final season begins.
Anyway people have been enjoying this fic so far, I got a couple reviews asking for more while writing this. I do hope you check out some of my other fics though, like my Dragonfable fics. Dragonfable really does not get enough love on fanfiction.
Anway suggestions for pairings are still Open. The deadline for Kyr's pairing will be when I begin his character arc (that will take place after the Forest of Forever Fall) and other pairing suggestion deadlines are the dance.
Now if anyone is curious on why it is being said that Kyr was in a coma, basically it his cover story as he would fall under the brotherhood's sphere of interest.
Also I already knew of good cover artists for Skyrim music like Malukah and Jeff Winner (I'm quite the metal fan) I recently discovered Sharm and Karliene, and Cranius presents is good as well.
Now remember suggest pairings either via review or pm.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, concerns, constructive criticism, or even suggestions, leave a review.
