Yavinus here, this is the third chapter of my first RWBY fic, introducing Reese Chloris. Hope you enjoy it! And remember, constructive criticism is always welcomed.
"Wanting to be free from this cruel world
Detaching yourself from the earthly chains
Wanting to reach the sun, the light, but falling"
Falling down to the earth, being trapped again
To the earthly chains, to the cruel world, again"
"Nice dream is nice, flyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing, flyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing in the skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Beatifulllllllll forest, falling green and" her visions in the dream world are full of happiness, outside of the mundane necessities, whiout a worries…
TRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIII!
"KYAAAAAAAAAAA," Suddenly, the sound of her alarm made her woke her up screaming to the heavens above "What the hell!? I was having a nice dream! There was a nice forest and...!"
A green-haired woman in the pyjamas grabed her scroll, only to see that it was the six in the morning. She cursed the devise to making her waking up so early, until she realised something.
"OH NO! TODAY IS THE ENTRANCE EXAM!" she then proceeded to cursed herself and forgive the poor scroll for doing its duty. She rapidly changed her clothes to her combat outfit and grabbed her beautiful hoverboard-dual pistol "Persephone", powered with gravity Dust. Eating breakfast and remembering all the classes in the Combat Academy. Greeting your parents as they wake up later. Finishing breakfast and receiving all the good lucks and such, she went out towards her destiny.
"Okay Reese Chloris, if you don't screw up very hard today, maybe you could have great future as a huntress, only think in positive and everything will go smooth as silk"
She blamed to her childhood friend Nadir Shiko for his advices on being punctual. She was about to take the bus but when Reese saw the enormous line of people waiting for it in the stop. She remembered tool late about the new remodelling a few streets back and that the public transport wouldn't come until half an hour later.
Cursing in your mind the entire ministry of the city, she decided to shove it and to improvise. She deployed her hoverboard, traversing the place while trying to remember the route. Her mind tries not to dwell too much in the fact that she forgot such a simple thing.
"If there was a word that Nadir could describe me that would be "clumsy", I still remember that incident with the water Dust back in the Combat Academy. But no one couldn't deny that it was funny and even he enjoy it with me in the end and WATCH OUT IDIOT…"
Reese barely managed to wake up from her own inner monologue and dodged the man with the expensive looking suit and tie. She only had some seconds to apologise to a very angry and pissed businessman before she resumed in her improvised travel.
After that, it didn't took long before she arrived to the entrance of the Combat Academy that it became so familiar to her. And in it, she saw a familiar figure, a tall young person with dark-skin and with a very noticeable pink hair. She procced to get close to greet him in her usual way, a little punch in his right arm.
"Hey Nadir, how did you managed to get here so early?" the green haired teen said to him while her friend gave her a look of confusion "I mean, you live farther from the Combat Academy than I do."
"Well, you see, I have this thing that you don't have and that's called "good organization" And also, don't do that again Reese, I want my arm functional for today" Nadir answered with a worried look on his face.
Reese left a small snort while she look at her scroll, the exam wouldn't begin until half an hour later, only to see that her friend's breathing was becoming very loud.
"Hey, aren't you nervous about the exam?" she asked to Nadir, who was now sweating.
"N…Not at all Reese, what are you talking about?" the pink haired teen responded while his eyes tried not to look at his friend.
Reese sighed and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Look, whatever happens, don't lose your cool in the exam, "she said while giving her best smile to him "Everything will be all right, just remember the basics and you will pass"
Nadir breathed a few times before he closed his eyes and opened, now with a shy smile on his face.
"Yeah, I can do it"
"Very well then, I will go first" Reese said as she prepared Persephone while the doors in front of them opened, "I hope that I can offer them the best spectacle ever, my awesomeness will blind them, I sure you."
Nadir left a small chuckle while they both entered, imagining their future.
