Welcome to the intro page of the new story! This isn't chapter one, nor is it a prologue. Instead, this is the summary of the plot's direction, so you can know if you want to follow it or not.
I feel like RWBY proper isn't exactly a cohesive story anymore. Too many ideas, not enough stability. So, I'm rebooting it! Like FMA before it, I'm going to take a good story and tell it again to try and make it better than it was before. I'm cutting magic, and possibly the gods, and changing the whole of the power system to fit my personal style of thought. The story should be roughly similar until I arbitrarily decide to change it. ;)
Each chapter will be the episode, and I might add [] in to indicate visual information I can't quite put in correctly into a story format, but that I would want to have in an animated version. I'm not marking ships, but I feel like you all know me well enough to understand that there are some pairs I think will fit in here and there. I'll try to let the characters take on their own lives and romantic situations, but we'll see how that goes.
As always: ideas, questions, comments, criticisms: send them to me.
Teaser:
Ruby walked to her mother's grave, as she did each year on the birthday listed on the headstone. No one else came with. It wasn't that they didn't care, but simply that they couldn't bare to be out on the cliffs at this time of year.
Ruby could bare it. She had borne it. For ten long years...
