Beginning of GyVt
A young lady with silver eyes and dark hair blush to a dim red strolls enthusiastically through the courtyard of Beacon. She's more joyful for the most part, skipping her way to the center of the school, passing fellow students that matched her uniform with teachers that watched her red cloak dance in the air. She reaches an elevator that will send her to the Beacon office, where she has only has been there once in her entire school year. She was extremely nervous when she was called up to Beacon's office, being the only one that fought a criminal or a spy in Beacon's walls. She felt pressured as being alone with three instructors had her shaking in her red boots. Still, now she's not alone, she has her team with her…
"Speaking of which, where are they?"
The young girl thought to herself thinking about her last mission, and how they were in more danger than ever before, she was more excited than afraid as she thought back, closing her eyes to get a better picture.
"Hey, Ruby!"
A familiar voice took her by surprise; the little girl named Ruby opened her eyes. As if she awakened from a dream to see a face that she was happy to see. The girl's complexion was dark compared to Ruby's, yet her hair was lighter with its minty taste coloring. She wore a school uniform as well.
"Hey there, Emerald!" She said in a loud but cute way.
As Ruby strolled towards her, she began to speed up for a massive hug, like she would for her sister. But she quickly realized that she'd just make everything awkward if done, so instead, she slowed down to only give a proper handshake. After the handshake, the young girl, Emerald, began talking cheerfully.
"I heard you and your team completed a mission that was extremely dangerous, even more, dangerous than that other guy named Roman that we captured."
"Well, you can say that it was a surprise, I thought it was going to be a little kill Grimm and fix problems, you know, but it turned into a mission that I'll never forget."
"Oh yeah, did I say thank you for helping us during the breach?"
Emerald closed her eyes and smiled.
"Yes, this would be the 5th or 6th time you have said thank you." She nodded and laughed.
"Oh, okay, my bad, can't let a thank you go to waste."
Ruby said as she gave her a thumbs up and blushed. Ruby didn't know Emerald very well as she was an exchange student from Haven to compete in the 40th Vytal Festival tournament. She seems quite friendly to a person that might be an opponent in the competition.
"Well, Ruby, tell me more about this mission."
Emerald said with a tilted grin seeming as though she was interested in the subject, making Ruby more anxious to tell her story.
"So there we were, me, Ruby Ross and my 6 foot tall,.. or was she 5'8",.. never mind, my big sister Yang Xiao Long, we were next to each other, planning our next move against modified Death Stalker. With my partner down and the Death Stalker getting more aggressive, I gave an order to the ninja of my team, Blake, to distract the Death Stalker while we find an opening, and then I reload my Crescent Rose to…"
"You can at least start at the beginning Sis."
Ruby stopped talking as both she and Emerald turned towards the friendly voice. They saw a young girl with purple eyes and dark, brilliant hair worn free, that blurs to pale gold at the tips. She is, by all accounts, wearing something other than a uniform. This outfit comprises a profoundly caught cream vest over a low profile dark shirt. As Ruby's face explodes with expressions, she started to talk to the blond-haired girl.
"Hey, Yang, why are you in that outfit?"
Ruby paused a second and lifted her left arm to point at her sister while saying.
"Did I miss something?"
Ruby started to shake, thinking of her sister and her team doing roguish deeds without their leader, as Yang began to smile with laughter.
"Maybe you did, or maybe you didn't; it's your call Sis," Yang said with a hint of sarcasm.
Ruby fell to the ground slowly, defeated like a child in preschool missing a field trip; Emerald made a little fake smile as Ruby was having her break down. While the majority of this was going on, two others came into view.
"You didn't get the message from Professor Ozpin."
A mellow voice said while she strolled like she had all the time in the world. The fair-skinned young girl has amber eyes and long black hair that reaches to about half of her spine, a ribbon tied with a large bow on the top of her head. She was also not in uniform, yet a white slipcover dash up yield shirt with a dark sew and three-quarter sleeves.
While Ruby was beginning to stand up, she started looking through her pouch for her scroll that she always end up misplacing; as she was looking for her scroll, Yang began a conversation with Emerald.
"What's up. Your name's Emerald, right?"
"Yes, I'm Emerald, and your Yang, the muscle of team RWBY. I've seen you in action during the breach; you're impressive, no doubt."
Yang reacted with a grin as if she enjoyed the fact that someone was watching her.
Emerald moved her eyes off of Yang to glare and inspected Blake as she began to speak.
"And Blake, I didn't get a chance to see you while you were fighting Grimm, but I've heard enough to know your stealthy and quick on your feet, making you a foe to be reckoned with."
"Well... thank you," Blake said in a calm and collected voice, yet you can tell she wasn't comfortable hearing rumors about her, positive or negative.
During this, Ruby eventually found her scroll. As she pulled the device out of her pouch, she glazed up to Yang and Blake to notice the other girl who had her back turned, looking to the courtyard. Ruby started to walk as she holds her scroll in her hand. She ducked down so she wouldn't impede the other's discussion, passing up Yang to have a superior perspective of the young lady that she knows now as her accomplice and close friend.
Ruby didn't speak until she was right in front of her. As her pale skin mixed with her pale skied eyes, she looked away as if cancerous lights tainted her face. A warped scar runs vertically down her left eye that showed no guilty as she looked away.
As Ruby began to talk, she noticed she too was indifferent attire, a white, double-breasted coat with dark channeling sleeves.
"Weiss…Are you okay?"
Weiss didn't respond as she started looking down her folded arms like she was lost in thought. You would never catch Weiss like this, not even on her worst day; this day was different. Ruby knew Weiss wasn't okay since their last mission a couple of days earlier; she's been less bossy and more sullen. As a matter of fact, Blake has been more talkative than her.
"Weiss... I need you to talk to me."
Ruby reached out her hand to grab Weiss's left side.
"I'm your leader, but more importantly, I'm your partner. You're not alone; we all make mistakes. I'm not perfect, either."
While Ruby was talking to Weiss, the others were explaining their last mission to Emerald.
"The old guy was experimenting on the Grimm like lab dogs, and he threw all he had at us, but we're still here, so you can say he failed."
Yang said with full confidence and grinning that they stopped an insane scientist in his tracks, but Yang started to feel a sharp pain in her throat when she thought of the scientist Doctor Merlot, a pain of guilt and regrets last fight. Yang looked back to see Weiss lifting her hand out of Ruby's reach. Weiss spun around on her left foot while looking down as her mouth moved to mumble words. Yang wasn't able to comprehend what the pale-skinned girl had said.
Yang paused for a moment. She wanted to say something but couldn't form any words. As the young heiress made haste to the elevator, she gleamed right into Yang's eyes with no emotions to speak of. Unsettled, she'd didn't know how to comfort her in this condition as Yang knew that Weiss had avoided the team for the past couple of days. Emerald knew something was bothering the heiress, so she didn't acknowledge to speak with her. She glared over to see Yang walking towards Ruby. Blake paused their conversation to watch the others, but they eventually started back talking.
"I apologize for Weiss; she's been acting…"
"Like you." Yang interrupted with an annoyed voice as Ruby and Yang walked up to Blake and Emerald.
"Yang, please stop, let me go talk to her." Blake explained, not waiting to hear their opinion on the matter; she went over to the other side of the room where Weiss was standing; you can listen to the bell as it filled the air with crowded voices.
"Well, it's been fun catching up with you guys, but I gotta run," Emerald said with a short bow with her arms around her back.
"Okay, Em will see you around." Yang gave Emerald a left wink, as Blake gave a shy but polite bow back to Emerald.
"Bye, Emerald." Ruby said with a crinkly of sadness in her voice; she slowly walked up to Yang with heavy silky water in her legs. Yang blinked with worry.
"Rubies... What should we do."
"I honestly don't know, for the first time, I don't..."
Ruby sounded more gloomy the more she spoke as if she gave her all for an unwanted result. Yang settled her left hand onto Ruby's slumped shoulders; the same regretful feeling started to flow through the girl's throat. Still, she glanced at her eyes forward to only flare her vision to her other teammates. As Blake was talking, Weiss's eyes looked slightly knotty as if she had a lack of sleep, or maybe her emotions were taking their toll.
"Weiss... We both know you can't stay silent forever…"
Blake paused as Weiss's eyes blinked slowly despite her face's shin, lifting to finish listening to her teammate.
"That said, I will not push you to speak, silent or not; you're still my friend."
The harsh yet truthful words started to echo through Weiss's mindless brain. Creating brackets of memories when she and Blake were not in terms of each other, as Blake walked towards the others, Weiss scratch the heel of her boots as she started to form her own words.
"Thank you."
Blake tilts her head only to get a partial view of the heiress; however, she wasn't surprised by her teammate's response, nor did she show any relief. Nevertheless, she continued to turn away from Weiss to meet Yang's eyes as she paused her delicate walk to say.
"Yang, you need to apologize."
"Apologize, for what?!"
The joy of curiosity started to flow as if that question cured the little rose soggy shoulders to allow her to move freely while she took a usual thinking pose.
"Are you serious, Blake? I highly doubt I should."
Yang continues as she placed her right hand on her ample hips. You would say she had a fake expression when she dragged her last sentence; nevertheless, Blake knew something was up with the blonde.
"Yang, just list…"
"No... Period." Yang released her hand off her hips.
Blake began to show a little imperfect vibe as she continued.
"Yang list.."
"No, you listen, she can't be a huntress if she can't take criticism." With a serious yet calm tone.
"What criticism?" Ruby sweetly states.
"But you're her teammate, let alone her friend; she shouldn't be expecting harsh remarks from you like that."
"Blake, what harsh remarks?" As clueless as Ruby was, it would seem she wasn't making any sign of headway of understanding the situation.
"I wasn't harsh; I was telling her the truth." (the blonde lifted her arms in unison with her hands.) "That shouldn't be considered harsh."
Yang slightly shrugged her shoulders like she bluntly made her point in the matter, but it certainly didn't lift the mood.
"Yang, I don't understand; what did you do?"
Ruby was getting a little hasty as she somewhat bent her knees, but Blake and Yang were ignoring her as if her words didn't leave a dent in their eardrums.
"How can you say that obviously, I know the difference between the two, and what you said was certainly harsh."
During this, Blake was showing more emotion while less stiff as she progressed. Her eyes arched while talking set off a shocking pulse through Ruby's spine as if she felt a sign of Déjà vu. It was like she sensed a familiar vibe that resurrects from Blake.
"Also, I…" Yang once more interrupted Blake's protest.
"Nope, this conversation is over and do…"
"Interrupting me is starting to get old, Yang."
Blake bit back with a calm passion, unfolding her arms to rest her weightless palms on her hips. Meanwhile, Ruby continued to observe Yang through a more skeptical view as she noticed her sister balling her fists. She wouldn't interrupt Blake like this, nor would she ignore me without it being a significant problem. Ruby clapped her hands together like a fifth-grader preparing to pray for lunch, and her cap began to levitate from the force of her hands. She released the rest of her energy into words.
"Yang, what is up with you? Blake, what did she do?…"
Ruby paused to see that neither Yang nor Blake acknowledging the red head's question. Yang openly released the pressure from her folded fist while staying vigilant against Blake, but Ruby wasn't going to let this progress any longer as she took a rooted gasp to get her point across.
"Big sis, Blake, am I a ghost or a fantasy because you both are brushing me off as one." Ruby continued, but this time she got the attention of everyone in the facility.
"Now tell me what happened, did you call Weiss fat, did you steal her notes again, did you do a prank and went overboard, what exactly did you do, Sis."
Ruby ended her rant with an eye to eye contact with Yang making her turn from Blake to the little rose. Weiss also was watching the confrontation between the two, but she noticed a zipping spin of air echoing from the closed elevator door. She folded her hands together to rest on her waist as she patiently waited for the door to open. The nipping draft of the elevator was soothing to the heirs as it began to show a person inside; Weiss slowly gazed upon the individual.
A middle-aged woman with light blonde hair tied in; had a bun with a twist hanging down the right side of her face. Her eyes are a beautiful green, and she wears thin ovular glasses. She has dangling blue-green hoops that match the hanging pendant on her neckline. The woman stepped out, stopping between Weiss and the elevator as she gracefully adjusts her glasses while speaking.
"Oh excellent, kills me the trouble to go out and haunt for you four." (She turned on her right high heel as she positioned herself back in the elevator). "Professor Ozpin is waiting... Team RWBY." The light blonde woman sounds like she was giving an order, then just casual talk as the team didn't hesitate, even Weiss cut off her depressed mood to follow the professor's demand.
"On our way, Professor Goodwitch."
Ruby said while bursting through Weiss, being the first to enter the elevator. Yang and Blake both walked in as Weiss was rolling her eyes at Ruby's actions; last, Weiss came in, turning to the elevator door close without making eye contact with the professor. Goodwitch was positioned behind the team as Yang and Blake were on the right, both calm as huntresses should be, yet when she gazed at their leader, she showed no sign of movement as if she wasn't breathing, and then the professor looked up and down the young girl while folding her arms.
"Ruby Ross." Professor Goodwitch verbally said as she started to tap her finger on her right forearm.
"She noticed." Ruby quietly said to herself, as if the professor would hear her thoughts. Ruby relaxed her body and panted heavily so that she might have held toxic fumes in her breath. Ruby quickly turned around, knowing that she wouldn't continue until her face was exposed, an odd smirk came from Yang, but it quickly evaporator to thin air when Goodwitch tilts her glasses to get a better view of Yang. She disregarded Yang to continued the fear that she made in their leader.
"Ms. Ross, do I have to remind you that Professor Ozpin is openly assigning you and your team a mission that is only qualified for two years students and up."
"Yeahhh, no, nooo, I mean noo ma'am." The little rose struggled.
"Well, it would seem you are more prepared for history class than combat, Ms. Ross."
Ruby didn't know what to say as if every word in her brain was wiped clean; she started to say whatever came to her mind without thinking how silly it might sound.
"Well, haha, you know what they say you never stop learning…"(Ruby closed her silly remark with her hands as she blocked her mouth from view.)
"That sounded better in my head."
You could barely hear the last of Ruby's sentence with the professor giving a vicious stare. Yang didn't make it any better with a jolly made snicker as she pushed herself not to laugh. Blake looked away from Yang so she wouldn't follow suit. Professor Goodwitch was about to unleash her rage as she holds a lot during the day, with the elevator noise alerting the passengers that they will exit soon.
The light blonde took a deep breath so she could restrain her emotions; with the door clinging open and the light seeping into the elevator, you can see that the room is as big and organized as the room before. Each one of the ladies calmly pressed forward to the gear like room. Without including Ruby, this is the first time they have ever been in the Headmaster's office; Weiss slowed down to admire the office's architecture. The wheels, cogs, and gears moved like traffic on a long highway bridge during rush hour. Blake herself seemed surprised to see how well the office was shaped to have its own personality or even Ozpin's. On the other hand, Yang was browsing to; however, she glazed past Weiss to perceive how she was holding up with that; she quickly turned her head when the heirs started to look her way.
Ruby didn't change her tone, but she was still amazed by the room as she noticed that the Headmaster wasn't alone. A middle-aged man who is wearing a white jacket, with a dark undercoat and tie. His fitted pants shared an equal shading from his jacket and tucked into silver boots complemented in gray. His hair is dark, with some silver and hazy areas.
As they got closer, Yang notices the man wearing one white glove as if he left the other one in his pocket or jacket. This wasn't the first time seeing him as he was with the other professors on the night of the dance.
The team steadily paced their way to the end of professor Ozpin's desk as their heels and boots left the office with crackling echoes.
Professor Goodwitch continues to walk as she places herself behind the man sitting in a crab-like chair. The man began to stand with his weight gravitating with him. At first glance, you could swear that he's not even close to his 50's or 40's at that matter; he has tousled silver hair and thin colored brown eyes. He has black eyebrows, hitting that he may have had black hair when he was more youthful. He is wearing shaded glass spectacles, and his outfit comprises an unfastened dark suit over a fastened vest and green shirt.
"Good morning, girls." He fastened his right palm on a sliver like a cane.
"Good morning, Professor Ozpin..." Ruby said back cheerfully.
"And good morning to you too Generalll… Irongood." The playful, like voice of the little rose, didn't make the situation less embarrassing, while she squished her left eye as if her brain was hurting from thought.
"It's General Ironwood, you dolt." The cold words took General Ironwood by surprise, as he was more useful to students or, in his case, soldiers to speak only when spoken to, but he shook off this thought and continued to talk proudly.
"Ms. Schnee, it's nice to meet you again."
The General began to bow slightly physically, indicating that he was showing full respect to the heirs. Weiss acknowledges his bow with a nod. Ruby lifted her right hand to cover her lips from being read.
"You know him."
As the words gathered Weiss's attention, the heirs tilt her head to the little rose.
"You can say he's a friend of my...father."
Weiss showed a little hesitation during her pause; at the same time, she stared down, drifting in thought.
"Ohh." Ruby quietly added.
"It is with great honor to finally meet all the members of team RWBY; as most of you know, I'm General Ironwood, the general of the Atlesian military. I'm also the Headmaster of Atlas Academy, and it has come to my attention that you young ladies are vital to the future of huntresses, a prodigy, you can say."
Ruby began to blush, knowing that the General was complimenting her and her team. An uncommon situation in her case.
"Thank you, but I wouldn't say prodigy."
The little rose started to play with her strings that kept her red hood in place.
"Ruby, don't be rude…" Weiss whispered. "We appreciate the gratitude of General Ironwood."
"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with a little praise, Sis," Yang explained brightly.
"Well, in your case, boosting." Weiss muttered again with a lower voice, but this time Blake looked over to see if Yang had overheard the heirs; with no success, it seemed the blonde didn't hear a thing.
"After reading through your past missions, I would say you're ready for this assignment that we have thought about for a few days since your return." Ironwood finished his sentence with a nod to the other Headmaster. The professor sat down as he began to make his claim.
"Thank you, General. From spoiling the White Fang's hideout to facing off against an older friend of mine, I would say this is a worthy assignment for you, team RWBY. Girls, have you, by any chance, have heard of a place called Everest Forest?"
"Wha…"
The light blonde professor sighed, but only Ozpin noticed.
Blake sighed as well, and she hid her expression while the other girls responded.
"No, sir," Ruby replied mannerly.
"Hmm...Nope, no, sir." Yang said.
"I can't recall." Weiss thoughtful said.
"Well, unlike another forest around Vale, it's not referenced to a specific color," Ozpin said.
"Yeah." Yang placed her right hand on her hips.
"Why is that, Professor? Was it named after the person that discovered it?"
The curious words from Ruby created a smile on Ozpin's face.
"Well, not exactly, Ms. Ross…"
"Everest's successor named the forest after him… I believe."
Blake unexpectedly answered Ruby's question.
"Correct," Ozpin said with a nod.
"Why haven't I've heard of this forest until now." Weiss is showing interest in the topic.
"I have a map at home, and I use to study the names of places around Vale, but I don't recall Everest being the name of a forest."
Ruby dawned on the name to form a possibility of where it might be on the map. But she felt stumped and begun to believe that she mistakenly overlooked the forest altogether.
"I can assure you this forest isn't on the map of Remnant; even history books of your generation can't point you in the right direction, although there is a fictional novel that was published six years ago. And I have a copy or two, it would seem Ms. Belladonna and I have similar taste.
"..." Blake sighed, not knowing what to say, as he continued.
"With this knowledge, Ms. Belladonna should be well-informed of this forest."
"Haha, being a bookworm has its perks." Yang joked.
"This was not intentional." Blake grieved the comment from Yang.
"Ms. Belladonna…" (Ironwood spoke up after his silence, startling Blake.) "How much do you know about this forest."
"Well, the story doesn't tell you much about the forest entirely, but it says that the trees are massive in height. The story was applying that the trees are mostly older compared to the others outside the forest. With that, the description of the trees gives a dark vibe that forms tension in the story…My apologies for rambling."
"No need; it was perfect." Ozpin smiled.
"Yes, the forest isn't an important factor, but what about the villagers that lived within the forest." General Ironwood continued.
"The village... The name wasn't mentioned, but it's a tiny replica of Menagerie; only faunus lives there." She started to rub her dark ribbons with her left hand.
"Correct...For years I've sent huntsmen and huntresses to this village to help guide the Grimm away from them showing support to the people who live there."
"Wait...What? Professor, I thought you said that the book was a fictional story." Yang tilted her hips as she waited for Ozpin to respond.
"A fictional story based on true events." Ozpin placed his hands together as he allowed his words to sink in. Blake showed a shocking expression as the other girls didn't show any extreme emotions; Weiss gazed over to Blake to see the cast of pale covering her face showing signs of worry, maybe even fear.
"Place your scrolls on my desk, please," Ozpin commanded.
The young girls' team followed the HeadmasterHeadmaster's orders as they searched and dogged through their pouches. Within no time, they each had their scrolls lying on Ozpin desks.
"I'm assigning you with team CFVY and a huntress for this mission so that you wouldn't be overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of Grimm."
Ozpin began to type on his desk; it would seem that the Headmaster's desk works like a scroll in someway. The girls waited patiently as they observed the unreadable files transferring to the scrolls.
"I'm updating your maps within your scrolls so you can understand the size of this forest. With this update comes the rest of the information you will need for your mission."
Ozpin released his fingers from the desk while deactivating the rest of the computer. Ruby proudly nodded as she grabbed her scroll to find a new file labeled "Team RWBY." The others followed suit as they began to adjust their new records to a position of their liking.
"My past huntsmen and huntresses all described the forest just like the story applies, so with that regard, the massively tall trees with branches connecting will cut off the sky and light above, sunlight will be extremely shortened so follow the information from your scrolls careful."
"Oh yeah, Blake." The heirs whispered."(Weiss placed her scroll back in its respectable pouch) "What's the name of this book you all speak of? I've grown a little interest in this story."
"Well, it's more of a novel than a book..." Blake began to think of the name as Yang started to speak herself.
"Same difference."
"I wouldn't think you would know the difference anyway." Weiss harshly criticized the blonde's intelligence.
"What?" Yang looked straight towards the heirs.
"Oh, it's just a little criticism." Weiss spoke loudly in her mind, but she didn't respond to Yang at all.
"No, Yang."(Blake placed her hand on top of the blonde's upper chest.)
"Weiss, the novel is named Bloody Tempest. I have a copy if you want to borrow it."
"Thank you. That will be most appreciated." Weiss turned back to hear the rest of Ozpin's orders. As she did, Yang took a deep breath calmly to control her temper, lucky the professors didn't notice the tension while Ozpin and Ironwood were speaking to each other as Ozpin tilted back to the girls.
"Also, I would like you to pack extra gear that would last for two days at best."
"Huh" (Professor Goodwitch unfolded her arms with a surprised look.)
"Yess. Oh, I mean, yes, sir." Ruby couldn't hold her excitement back.
"Professor Ozpin, are you sure that's necessary?" Goodwitch crudely asked.
"Yes," Ozpin responded.
"What if they miss read the information given? That forest is complex."
"They will complete the mission, professor..."(Ozpin closed his eyes,
showing patience.)
"Honestly, how are you so certain?" Professor Goodwitch asked the question more softly.
Weiss widened her eyes as she noticed Professor Goodwitch's tone.
"Because...You will be accompanying them."
Shocked at first, the green-eyed professor immediately snapped back to her natural look. The General sighed softly without alerting the others.
"As of now, your mission begins follow Professor Goodwitch closely while learning from her and CFVY to make you better huntresses, but more importantly, stay safe, girls."
"Yes, sir!" Team RWBY responded as a unit creating a base of echoes across the office.
Ruby felt her blood boiling and was ready to release the hot steam of energy, but kept her composure.
"And also, Ms. Ross." Ozpin gathered her attention.
"Yes, professor?"
"I recommend you change your attire while you're packing." Ozpin grinned.
"Haha, yeah, thanks for the reminder." (She started to blush.) "Professor Ozpin, Team RWBY, will not let you down."
Ozpin and General Ironwood silently nodded while Professor Goodwitch sighed. Weiss gracefully bowed to the adults while Yang spoke.
"Don't worry, Professor O, we won't complete the mission too fast." Yang tilted her hand while she waved.
The girls all turned on the glass floor heading to the elevator with all different emotions. Blake felt iffy thinking of the novel and its context: she began to rehash more memories of the book as she quietly walked ahead of the team, while Ruby showed no anxiety of fear at the matter. Blake opened the elevator the young girls flooded in like a rainbow; she glanced her eyes to the professors noticing that Professor Goodwitch was still at the desk whispering to both Ozpin and Ironwood. She shook her head to avoid reading their lips.
Blake entered the elevator with the others. As she pressed the button for the first floor, she felt a nerve-wracking pressure as the doors closed, and the elevator began its ascend down. The pressure ceased to fade as she gave in to her senses by turning around to view her team; low and behold, the pressure was from the eyes of her team.
"What…?" Blake responded.
"Blood Tempest, huh…Sounds like more of a horror flick than a novel." Yang used her hands to make quotations while saying a novel.
Weiss rolled her eyes.
"No wonder I never heard of it... the name is horrendous, although I still would like to give it a read."
"It sounds like the story had a gory battle. I can imagine the description of the battles… ugh, but I still would like to know the story." Ruby never disappoints when it comes to making things sound more exciting than what it is.
"Well, I haven't read Bloody Tempest in over a year…"
"Blake, your book collection is the year itself," Yang commented.
"Haha." Blake sarcastically said. "But with all honesty, I never finished it, so you can say I forgot about it really, so we should take the novel with us on our mission."
At this moment, team RWBY was, without a doubt, fixated on this book. Their necessity for seeking the truth sets the bar from other Beacon teams; they made small talk as they waited to exit the elevator.
Thanks for taking your time and reading this. I updated the prologue to chapters; any good or critical feedback will be read and appreciated. Plus, I just got out of Basic training, so I'm a lot behind on the story, but all a can say is chapter 3 will be up.
