Sup guys? Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about RWBY! Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do
(Atlas, General Ironwood's office.)
Cinder wanted to be with her family… They were important to her, still her husband and children knew quite well that she would be busy.
"General." Cinder said while her heels clicked on the floor, Ironwood stood up while Cinder cracked her Shadow Hand inside of her sleeve.
She liked her dress she had worn from Haven, remaking it simply brought back memories.
"Cinder… I'm glad you could come… How's your husband?" Ironwood asked while Cinder smiled and looked at the General.
He had some grey hair and his outfit was much simpler with Grey and White as well as Blue…. She didn't see much difference in his uniform.
Things weren't much different in Atlas, she guessed.
"Arthas is with the kids in Mistral… He's been training to be a Huntsmen since the war with Salem… You pulled me away from him though…" Cinder stated, Ironwood nodded and leaned back in his chair.
"Since Salem is gone, the Relics were to be gathered… A question from the relic? Ozpin is going to bring the brother gods to Remnant… I'm assuming your aware of that?" Ironwood asked, Cinder nodded and sighed.
"I might have hated Salem… But my views on Ozpin aren't much better, James… I have to put my foot… I won't allow Ozpin to summon the brother gods… From what Salem told me, if their summoned… They will end mankind… The Faunus… Everyone… I didn't destroy Salem just to lose my family." Cinder put in, Ironwood put his hands back on the table and looked at the Fall Maiden who became Headmistress of Haven.
"Neither will I… But I won't harm Oscar, he has no place in this… And Ozpin hasn't been in power since Glynda took over his role at Beacon…" Ironwood stated, Cinder felt her eye briefly glow as Ironwood watched the Fall Maiden flare up with power.
"Cinder…. Contain yourself, I know that you don't see it that way…." Ironwood said before Cinder allowed herself a breath and then looked at the General.
"I'm not letting him threaten my students, my children or my husband, James… The man would summon the gods who could click their fingers and have us all die at once… My powers, which could tear down the entire criminal underworld in Mistral by myself? I'm nothing compared to them…" Cinder pointed out, Ironwood said nothing and sighed.
Cinder had a point; Ozpin wasn't really being rational at the moment… And she couldn't….
"What would you want me to do…? I can't arrest Ozpin and trying to stop him could make him get the other relic…." Ironwood said, Cinder looked out the window with her good eye.
"I suppose we stop him… The only thing we could do is call the others together to talk to Ozpin as a group… You were his friend; you have to be willing to take things into your own hands… This is bigger than both of us..." Cinder said, Ironwood went to speak before Cinder pulled her sleeve up so she could look at her Shadow Hand.
The arm was still hers… It would always be hers… Since Salem had died, the Grimm had become less of a problem… Most were still monsters.
But Grimm like the one she rode? Her Wyvern? It was proof there could be peace on Remnant.
"I gave up nearly everything to gain power, James… And then I gave up power for a family… I will not let that be thrown away for everyone just because Ozpin wants humanity to be judged… Even if he has good intentions… If the Gods think we aren't worth living? They will kill every single Human and Faunus on Remnant… If you will not stop him…" Cinder said, pulling down her sleeve and looking at the General.
"I will… Now, if your excuse me… I have to return to my husband… I'll contact you if you have any questions or so..." Cinder said while she stood up and went to leave.
Ironwood watched his friend leave and sighed. Cinder was a driven woman… If she wanted Ozpin defeated? She wouldn't rest until Ozpin was defeated.
He rubbed his temples and wondered what would happen next.
The Fall Maiden wanted her family protected… She had the power to do so.
Author Notes
Phew, first chapter done! Yep, this will be the first chapter to Cinder's sequel. I Want to point out that this story will be more based on Cinder then Arthas... And will be more based on combat. Next chapter will be on Monday or so and will show Cinder talking to Arthas. Until then, Lighting Wolf Out!
