Hey guys Marcus here, imma be real with you, i know very little about RWBY other than a few major plot points, never watched the show, so most of my info is garnered from a combination of reading plenty of other fanfiction based in this world and the wiki, so im gonna be taking quite a few liberties, so if anything is glaringly wrong you can blame my lack of knowledge on the subject matter. Now for a disclaimer all characters and story belong to their respective owners.

He could feel it, the feeling he had been waiting for, the one thing that eluded him his over 2200-year long life, death. He cared too much to take his own life, maybe that was his biggest weakness he cared far too much for his own good. As he felt everything slip away from him, he let out a final breath and finally darkness took his vision. It was strange after everything he had figured out about reality, he never expected to wake up from the darkness in a field of blue flowers in a clearing surrounded by a forest. He could feel the weariness of his body was gone, he looked down to see his hands no longer held scars from countless battles and not old withered skin, but fresh skin.

He quickly sat up and looked up, the sky was a gorgeous shade of blue, then it hit him. "Is this the afterlife? I guess Entropy never did tell me what happened after death, probably wanted to keep it a mystery." Then he heard it, a voice one he was quite familiar with.

"Hello there David, been a few centuries hasn't it?" He turned to find a man dressed in a too perfect black suit with brown hair and shimmering brown eyes.

"Interloper what are you doing here?" He stopped to consider the implications. "Did you die as well!? How is that possible you're basically a god!"

The Interloper held up a hand, "No, in fact neither of us are dead, at least not yet anyway, you see, when you were on your last legs I called in some favors from Conflict and a bunch of other Void Lords, and instead of dying they gave you your youth and brought you here." He sat down next to David. "You see bud, me Conflict and most of the Void Lords thought you deserved something as a reward, you quite literally gave everything you had to help us sort out the mess that was your plane of reality, and in the end you never got a chance to just rest, so this is it, our gift to you."

David stood to his full height of over six feet, "How is this a gift! I do not belong to this world; this is not my home! My home is where I died, and you denied me that!" His eyes filled with tears, then it started to rain, soon it turned into a torrent of rain.

The Interloper rose to match his height, "David I-" but then he noticed how David was looking up. "Ah, I guess you've never seen rain before huh? Well this planet in this plane is largely untouched by industrialization and other pollution producers.

David turned to him "What is this place?" He touched his face and skin feeling the strange wet texture all over it, some from his own tears most from the torrent of rain coming down. The Interloper snapped his fingers and the rain then suddenly let up, and he looked to see the sun begin to peek out from behind a set of large clouds, he couldn't remember the last time he had seen the sun this clearly and not being covered by smog.

"We…I don't want you to pass on without knowing what its like to be the hero." The Interloper said his face a mask of worry. "You fought so hard and for so long I think you forgot what it was like before we recruited you to help us sort out our mess."

David looked back at the Interloper "I don't want to be the hero I want to rest." His face dropped and his eyes became dull and he sighed. "If I had to ask for anything it is peace, an opportunity to live out my days peacefully."

The Interloper nodded, "Then me and the other Void Lords will endeavor to allow to live in this plane of reality peacefully." He snapped his fingers and a small dark blue painted house appeared in the middle of the field. "This area is about a three-hour hike to Vale a nearby city to the west if it was nighttime you could probably see the lights. Although you might want to be ready for some rather hostile wildlife."

The two of them began to walk toward the house "What do you mean hostile wild life I thought you said you would let me live peacefully?" David waited while Interloper pulled out a set of keys and unlocked the house.

As they entered, they were greeted by a clean white colored interior, fully furnished. "Let's get the house tour out of the way before I begin explaining a few things about this little plane of existence." After giving David a quick house tour humming to himself the entire time they went into the living room and sat down across from each other.

"Now explain Interloper." David said his voice sharp with resentment, he then crossed his arms. "I'm waiting."

Interloper pulled out a toothpick from seemingly nowhere and stuck it in his mouth deftly. "This little plane of reality is called Remnant a quaint little place with a minor human extinction problem, Conflict and Entropy cant decide on whether to just clean slate it or to try and mess with it to 'fix' it, but since no one here has the potential for inter-dimensional interference it hasn't been a big priority, so it's just kind of stagnated the overall population is at an all-time low, due to the hostile wildlife controlled by a bitter ex-wife of some old dude who could man the hell up in the first place, but I digress." He removed the toothpick and flicked it into a nearby garbage bin and pulled out another and promptly put it in his mouth. "These hostile creatures are called Grimm, and they come in lots of shapes and sizes and ferocities, but with your magic I'm sure none of them besides maybe the woman controlling them could pose any type of significant threat to you, there are also some sentient beings called Faunus and they are bipedal humanoids with animal features like cat ears or fur and a plethora of other kinds of similar things."

David sat quietly intaking all of the information Interloper was giving him and mentally filing it away. Interloper was surprisingly forthcoming with information, everything from hunters and huntresses who tried to keep the Grimm at by even down to the true names and current identities of the man and woman previously mentioned. "So, what your telling me is you through me here cause you to give me a chance to be the hero, also known as solving you Void Lords issues for you without you having to interfere?" He said his voice conveying a barely hidden fury.

"No, not at all, I mean if we wanted you to do that then we would have contacted someone from this plane, not take you from yours when your about to kick the bucket, hell, I even put an interception field over this area, unless you want anyone to no one can see feel or even perceive there is even a house here, look I'll be honest the Progenitors are already a bit annoyed at how we bent the rules a bit to get you here but after explaining the understood, so all we could do was set you up with the tools to live well, and in accordance with your desires peacefully." Interlopers head suddenly whipped to the side. "Look I gotta go, this is the best I can do, and David."

"Yes?" David said his softer more tired sounding now.

"For what little my word is worth, I am truly sorry for what I did to you, made you do, all to fix my screw up." Interloper then bowed deeply to him, "It was the greatest honor to know you and call you a friend. This will be the last that I or any of the void lords will ever contact you, you have served with greater distinction than any agent I have ever known." With that Interloper suddenly winked out of existence in a flash of white light.

David still sitting in the soft lazy boy style chair sighed, "Well, what's one more life?"

Sup okay so, what did you think? I have far to many characters and story ideas in my google docs for my own good so i decided to throw my hat into the ring of the thousands of other RWBY fanfictions out there. Be sure to leave comments on your opinions and various other things.
