I chose another one from the spreadsheet this week. This prompt was "RWBY as written by Shakespeare." I hope this isn't too cringy for you all, I don't claim to be half as good as Shakespeare.


Salem glides into the room towards her place at the head of the table. The others rise as soon as she enters, but she gestures for them to sit and they do.

Salem:
Watts…
Do you find malignance necessary
Towards young Cinder still pained by injury?

Watts:
I meant no offense to you I can assure.
But Your Grace knows I am not fond of failure.

Salem:
Then there is no need to provoke her so.
For what failure you mock I do not know.
It is by Cinder's hand my will is done.
For now Beacon lies in oblivion,
Cinder has become the Maiden of Fall,
And last, that task most important of all,
That wretched worm, Ozpin, my hated foe
Now lies dead from Cinder's wrathful arrow.
Your own accomplishments pale next to her.
Tell me to what failure do you refer?

Watts:
Her defeat by the girl with the silver eyes.

Hazel:
Indeed, for knowing our past this loss implies
A mortal weakness Cinder has yet to shed.
By my hands have silver eyes been rendered dead,
And yet by a novice was her defeat wrought.
How can this disaster be?

Watts:
He speaks my thought.
For though she wields the Maiden's unfettered might
She challenged that silver girl and lost outright.

Salem:
It is because she held the Maiden's power
That she tasted defeat that fateful hour.
Though Cinder's might assures our victory,
Its crippling weakness brought her injury.
So as her treatment leaves her occupied,
She must, for now, remain here at my side.
Doctor Watts shall act in her stead and fly
To Mistral to meet with our hidden spy.

Watts:
Very good.

Salem:
Tyrian, you shall continue your quest.
To find the Spring Maiden, I send my best.

Tyrian:
Gladly.

Salem:
And Hazel, you shall represent our gang
Before the high leader of the White Fang.
Adam Taurus has arranged this meeting.
Every doubt I had in him proved fleeting.
His loyalty does honor to his name.
Ensure Sienna Khan still feels the same.

Hazel:
As you wish.

Cinder gestures to Emerald, who leans in to hear her words. She then faces Salem.

Salem:
You are among friends, dear child; be not meek.
We would know Cinder's words, so you shall speak.

Emerald:
She wants to know… what about the girl?

Watts:
The girl? Cinder can deal with her alone.

Salem:
Enough. I will not leave her on her own.
Tyrian, your hunt for Spring must delay;
A more immediate task comes your way.
With all your skills so eager and violent,
Bring me the girl who left Cinder silent.

Tyrian:
Though you say "bring me" when I wish to kill,
I exist but to do my Lady's will.

Salem:

Beacon is through, its wardens prove craven,
And now our dark gaze falls upon Haven.

Tyrian turns aside to Cinder.

Tyrian:

And now I away to begin my hunt
For she who left Cinder's sharp tongue so blunt.
The wound done you I'll soon repay in kind,
And though it might leave all of Remnant blind,
As vengeance for you, my dearest ally,
To match your loss I'll take one silver eye.

Tyrian laughs maniacally
