Chapter 3! Hope you all enjoy this chapter and if you need something explained don't feel like you can't PM me or review and I will try to help. Review is good as it gives feedback. So here it is chapter 3. Disclaimer: I don't own anything of RWBY except the plot of this story and the made up folklore. Sorry it toke so long but I am a slow writer and get distracted easily.
When man first discovered dust, they saw it as first a useless resource as the properties of it was unknown. A traveling wizard saw the dust for its full potential and used it for weapons, clothing and even going as far as to putting in his own body. This man then used the dust to push the Grimm back and bring forth the age of Dust and sparked hope all across the land. This man was named Mounty Oum and he was the hero that the world of Remnant needed.
Ruby groaned at her headache as the Grimm in her and her own body fought for control. She barked an order to her Beowolves to mark the territory as hers and to signal her if there was any nearby Grimm. She sighed while looking over her new home, Mount Glenn. She was always fascinated by the stories of the place and was even more impressed now. She started to unpack her stuff that she had grabbed before her departure. She pulled out extra parts for Crescent Rose and set up a weapon repair area in the room she had set up her base camp in. She then pulled out the two Grimm blades and examined them. Engraved to the right blade was Fallen Champion and engraved on the left one was Voice of Regret. Ruby swung them around wondering just how strong the blades were. She know that the more aura she used, the stronger the blade got. That was when she noticed that both of the blades could combine into one blade. Ruby was about to put the blades together just as one of her Beowolves returned. "What did you find out there? Anything of interest?" Ruby questioned the Beowolf while putting the blades away. The Beowolf let out a nod while signaling her to follow him and he started to move towards the center of the city. Ruby marked where she had set up camp and then went to catch up with the Beowulf.
When Ruby arrived to the town center, she noticed the large amount of Beowolves that were not in her pack. Her pack immediately backed up as Ruby approached the center and her armor started to form around her as the grimm toke over. The Beowolves that were not part of her pack let out a snarl at the Human-Grimm Hybrid. She realized that the Beowolves were from two different packs as from each side emerged an alpha Beowolf. She let out a howl and held her blades out in challenge to either of the alphas to fight her. The Beowolf on her left lunged at her while the one on the right stayed back and observed.
The Beowolf was faster then Ruby and managed to land a hit that sent her flying back. Ruby activated her aura while combing her blades into one. She then channeled aura into the blades which caused the blade to glow with a black and red tint to it. Ruby vanished and appeared next to the Beowolf that had hit her and swung the blade across its neck causing the Beowulf's head to come clean off of it's body. She vanished again and appeared by the remaining alpha. Instead of decapitating it like the last one, she grabbed the Beowulf by its neck and lifted it into the air while aura began to channel into her hand and she started to force it into the Beowulf's body and started to disintegrate it with the raw force of her aura. She let out a simple command to the new addition's to her pack, kill any other grimm in the town and report back to her later. Ruby toke off to the direction of where she had left her stuff with the Beowulf who lead her there flanking her on the way back to the building. While walking, Ruby glanced down at the sword and read the name.
Terror of The Moon read the blade as Ruby examined how the blade looked like it was made of silver and not grimm bone like the other two blades. Ruby put it away as she walked into her center of command. She toke of her tattered clothes and wondered what she would do with them as she noticed two Beowolves drop the body of the first alpha she killed in her room as well as bring her the head of the alpha. An idea popped into her head and she began to work.
4 days later
Ruby had finally finished her project. She had taken the Beowulf's hide and made it into a jacket with armor all around it. She had also taken the head of the Beowolf and made a mask out of its skull. She got up and started to walk around when she heard a noise she had not heard in a long time, a Bullhead. As she looked to the source of the sound she realized there were several Bullheads approaching the north end of Mount Glenn. Ruby used her semblance to get onto a building near a building the city and stared as they flew over her into the city central. She let out an order to stay away from the center until she know what they were up to. One of the bullheads opened and out walked members of the White Fang and then she saw Roman Torchwick stepping out of the bullhead while sending out orders. What did catch her of guard was the girl that was with him, she was clad in brown, pink and white clothes and had the same colors for her hair. She was the girl who had helped Roman escape the night that her team had beaten in his Atlesian Paladin. She stared at her and wondered what she could do in a fight. The next thing she know, The girl stared directly at her and she gave a slight grin as if to say soon, very soon.
The next time the case of acquiring grimm power from their blood was a story of the Red Queen who according to legend was left near death but saved by killing and drinking a beowulf's blood for nourishment. She recognized the powers she had acquired and started her bloody Crusade that led to the destruction of whole villages and hundreds dead, with the government stating that even though their were several human touches to all of it, that it was just elder Grimm hunting in the weaker cities. The women however, was very real and actually shared a thing with the previous legend, and that was one small thing. It was a name that soon was lost to time for hundreds of years. The name was Rose, their last names were both Rose.
Well hope you enjoy. I will post chapters as they come and will be swapping chapter for chapter with my other story and will hopefully have the next chapter up by Sometime in November. As always, Tuxedo Mask out.
