The Lost Fable.
A blue smoke appears, revealing Salem staring from her window of the tower, her arms crossed. A woman humming can be heard in the background.
Jinn was narrating "Locked away by her cruel father, Salem was a girl who desired but one thing: freedom".
Salem walks away with sadness as Ruby watches her do so when Salem passed by her.
"She lived in a time when kings and their Kingdoms were plentiful, when men and women were capable of greatness, and magic was a gift from the Gods that all could wield".
Salem sits down and leans against the vanity. She holds her left hand, using her magic; four magical spheres with a magic circle in six basic colors appear over her hand.
"And yet, there she sat within her tower".
As Salem looks down, the blue smoke reappears and envelops Salem to the next scene. It reforms the castle Salem resides in.
"Until one day, a legendary hero came to brave the challenges within the tower's walls".
A young man in armor and a cape wielding a scepter appears standing proudly in front of the tower. Qrow walks up to him.
"The people of the lands knew him as Ozma".
Qrow waves his hand in front of Ozma's face, but the latter proceeds forward unfazed, simply phasing through Qrow's hand.
"Unlike those who had come before, this warrior was not driven by the prize of the young maiden's hand. He fought only for righteousness, and his pure heart and courageous soul prevailed".
Lucina could not help but to briefly smile at that. He sounded like how Lucina wanted to be while she was growing up.
As Ozma walks up to the tower, other warriors are shown falling in battle. Blue smoke reforms the scene once again, this time showing Ozma using his scepter to strike down a dark-armored figure. Ozma then opens up a door leading to Salem's room, where she stands up and offers a grateful smile to him. Blue smoke reforms the scene of them battling side by side with their magic powers.
"They escaped the wretched fortress, and yet something bound them together".
Smoke reforms the scene showing Ozma and Salem running away from the tower holding hands together. Once at a safe distance, the two stop to catch their breath before looking to each other.
"Ozma had been ready to give his life for justice countless times, but now saw a woman worth saving it for. And Salem, to her surprise, found her freedom not in the outside world she had yearned for, but in the eyes of the man that had saved her".
"So, where should we go now?" Salem asked.
Ozma offers his hand to her "Wherever you'd like".
"The two fell deeply in love, planned adventures around the world, and lived happily ever after".
Smoke envelops the environment around Ozma and Salem as the two hold hands. The two disappear into a bright light of white space.
"Or at least that's what should have been".
Smoke then reforms the scene showing Salem kneeling at an unconscious Ozma's bedside. Salem holds Ozma's hand and can be heard sobbing.
"Ozma, the infallible hero of legend, fell ill. And where all the beasts and blades of the world had fallen short, a single sickness prevailed".
Ozma's body disappears in smoke as Salem continues sobbing, holding his scepter in her hands. Weiss was behind her watching with a sad face.
"How could the Gods let this happen?" Salem asked through her tears.
As Weiss continues to watch in pity, she looks up to notice two spheres - one bright yellow and the other a dark purple - circling above her head.
"The Gods, brothers of light and darkness, creation and destruction. Salem prayed they would see the injustice that had befallen her love and make things right".
The two orbs encircling above lower down, with Blake watching the two conjoin in front of her. A bright light and blue smoke transitions the scene, this time showing a brightly lit place with a stairway leading up the mountain.
"The Domain of Light was a sacred place".
Salem approaches the stairway, offering flowers. She holds Ozma's scepter in her hand.
"It was here the elder brother dwelled beside his fountain of life and creation. It was here... where mankind would fall to ruin".
Weiss watches Salem walk up the stairs as smoke transitions the scene again, with Salem now at the top of the mountain as she looks upon the Domain of Light, valley filled with flowers with a pool of water and a tree at the center. Leaves blow from the tree and encircles above the water, and from it, the God of Light rises from the pool. He walks forward to Salem.
Severa was amazed by what she saw. Never in her life had she seen anything so... majestic and powerful. So this was the god who created all life.
Salem falls to her knees "Please... Please, bring him back to me".
The God of Light spoke in a calm voice "I understand your pain, but you demand of me that which I cannot make so. Life and death are part of a delicate balance".
"So... you won't do it then?" Salem asked, sounding angry.
The God of Light tried to explain "To disrupt the cycle of-".
"But that's not fair... That's not fair!" Salem's voice echoes throughout the Domain from her last exclamation.
The God of Light's voice grew more stern "Let. Him. Rest".
The wind picks up, causing leaves to blow around Salem. Suddenly, she finds herself back at the bottom of the stairway leading to the Domain of Light.
She looks to Ozma's scepter in her hands before looking up angrily "No".
Blue smoke transitions the scene again, this time showing a dark, foreboding environment with a stairway leading up the mountain, similarly mirroring that of the Domain of Light's.
"The God of Darkness…".
Salem approaches some skeletal remains at the bottom of the stairs.
"None dare to enter his home, as men knew what monstrosities emerged from his blackened pools of annihilation".
Salem proceeds forward, approaching a blackened pool of tar-like liquid similar to that of which the Creatures of Grimm spawn from.
"And so you must understand the Dark Lord's surprise when he found a lone woman kneeling before him".
From the blackened pool, the God of Darkness emerges, his body twisted and contorted. Yang is seen standing a few feet away from Salem, gasping in fear at the sight. The God of Darkness crawls toward Salem in an unnatural position. Grimm can be seen inching closer to her.
"Salem understood it well. She told him of her loss and professed that she knew only he could answer her prayers, all while careful to make no mention of his elder".
Salem is seen telling her story to the God of Darkness before offering Ozma's scepter to him.
"Rise, child, and let your faith in me be rewarded" Salem does so. The God of Darkness then conjures a purple sphere, and from it, Ozma's body appears. Salem approaches him, and Ozma gasps back to life.
"Where am I? What is this?! WHERE AM I?!" He yelled in panic.
Salem smiles "It's okay! Everything's going to be okay!".
Suddenly, the God of Light appears with a sound of thunder at the top of the stairs leading into his brother's domain.
The God of Light was clearly angered by what he saw "What have you done?".
"I have done what I please, brother. You may bask in the powers of creation, but you do not own them" The God of Darkness answered calmly.
"This is not creation" The God Of Light said.
The God of Darkness was quickly losing his temper "Do not lecture me!".
The Grimm can be seen slowly approaching the God of Light.
"I will do what I must to maintain order" The God of Light puts his hand out, and an orange aura surrounds Ozma's body, before he disintegrates in Salem's arms.
"No! No! What did you do?! BRING HIM BACK!" She demanded.
"You dare enter my domain and show such disrespect!" The God of Darkness makes Ozma's body appear again.
"Ozma!" Salem said.
"I am abiding by the rules we agreed upon!" The God Of Light said.
"Rules that I now see are ever in your favor. And yet the day a mortal comes to pray at my feet before your own, so do you arrive to lay your judgment upon me!" The God of Darkness transforms into a nightmarish, dragon-like form that snarls at the God of Light. The Grimm proceed forward and attempt to attack him, but a bright light emanates from him, destroying all the Grimm in the area.
He transforms into a bright, beautiful oriental-looking dragon "I know we have our differences, but I have not come here with the aim to control you. The same, however, cannot said for her. This woman came to you only after I denied her pleas – pleas that would have disrupted the balance that you and I created. Together".
The younger brother ponders this revelation "Then it seems I owe you an apology. Allow me to correct my mistake".
"No!" Salem shouts as The God of Darkness fires a purple beam from his dragon form's mouth, disintegrating Ozma once again. Salem watches as Ozma's ashes blow away out of her hands "You… You monsters! Give him back to me! GIVE HIM BACK!".
Salem activates her magical abilities. Suddenly, the God of Light rushes forward and devours her.
Severa shields her eyes, blinded by the unbelievable power of the god.
Salem then wakes up falling from the sky. She is then submerged in the God of Light's pool, drowning as an aura-like shimmer covers her body. Suddenly, she finds herself on the surface of the water, catching her breath. She looks up and notices both of the God Brothers standing side by side.
The God of Light was the first to speak "When you first came to me, I did pity you. But it is clear now that your selfishness and arrogance have led you astray".
Salem stands back up "What did you do to me?".
The aura-like shimmer is seen on her hands.
"I have made you immortal" The God of Light answered.
Salem looked up "Immortal?".
"You cannot die. You cannot be with your beloved" The God of Darkness explained.
"So long as this world turns, you shall walk its face" Both Gods said.
Salem stares back at them in disbelief.
"You must learn the importance of life and death. Only then may you rest" The God of Light said.
Salem tries to reach out to them, but then finds herself transported to a vast open field.
"Salem was a prisoner once again. Her fruitless attempts to reunite with Ozma eventually became nothing more than acts of spite and defiance against the Gods".
Ruby is seen back in Ozma's room, watching a shadow of Salem as she fatally stabs herself. Ruby covers her mouth with her hands in horror. Salem's suicide attempt fails due to her immortality.
"But perhaps the Gods were not as powerful as they seemed…"
Ruby watches Salem walk to a window, who is still holding the sword she attempted to stab herself with.
"She had lied to them, turned them against one another, they… were fallible".
Salem sets her sights on a castle in the distance. Lucina looked on disbelief. Even after having experianced the Gods powers first hand, Salem was still arrogant enough to believe she could challenge them?
"If she were to turn humanity against light and darkness, she could rid herself of their curse, or at the very least… she could make them suffer".
Salem then throws the sword toward Ruby's way. Ruby yelps in panic as she disappears in a puff of smoke just as the sword was about to strike her. Smoke transitions the scene, showing a king standing up in surprise as a bloodied ax is thrown to the ground.
"Salem traveled from one Kingdom to another, telling tales of how she stole immortality from the Gods, welcomed any swordsman to cut her down, and demonstrated her powers".
Salem is shown speaking to various leaders of Kingdoms, including the aforementioned king from before, an oriental-looking empress and her subjects, and finally to a savage-looking warrior king.
"With the kings and queens in awe, she pulled them deeper into her scheme. She painted them pictures of a time when they would no longer have to watch their loved ones wither and die, when they could claim the powers of their creators for themselves, and in turn, perfect their own design".
As Salem finishes telling her story to the warrior king, she kneels before him. The warrior draws his weapon and let's out a proud battle cry, with his people cheering along with him. The combined forces of the Kingdoms are then shown launching an all out assault on the Domain of Light.
"All they needed to do was destroy their old masters".
As the warriors run in, the God of Light emerges from the pool in his dragon form.
"The Gods had hoped that Salem would learn from her eternal curse, and she did. She learned that the hearts of men are easily swayed".
The leaders of the Kingdoms Salem had spoken to stand in front of their people approaching the God of Light. The God of Darkness, also in his dragon form, then appears alongside his elder brother.
The God of Light was shocked by what he saw "Who has led you down this path?".
Salem is then seen walking through the crowds of warriors as she makes her way to the front of them. She glares at the Gods.
The God of Darkness glares at her "You...".
In response, Salem launches a magical attack, and the warriors follow suit. A barrage of attacks are launched at the God of Darkness, but he easily catches them all into his hand, absorbing them into a purple sphere of energy. Everyone looks in shock.
The God of Darkness looked at the magic they tried to attack him with "My own gift to them... used against me".
The God of Light looks away in disappointment and sadness, knowing there was nothing he could do to stop what was about to happen. The God of Darkness squeezes the sphere within his hand, creating a massive shockwave that envelops the world, smiting everything and everyone in its path. Humanity has been turned to dust, only Salem remains due to her immortality.
Severa was speechless. He wiped the whole planet clean just by clossing his hand... he really was a god.
"No... no..." Salem gets knocked back when the God of Darkness stomps his foot in the ground.
"You thought there was no greater punishment we could bestow upon you?" The angry god asked.
Salem glares as she stands up "I'll come back. I'll tell the rest of the world of this massacre! Build a new army!".
The God of Darkness almost sounded amused as he spoke "You do not understand. There is no one left. You are all that remains of Humanity".
Salem's expression turns shocked at this revelation.
"This planet was a beautiful experiment, but it is merely a remnant of what it once was. We will learn from this failure. I hope that you will learn from yours" The God of Light disappears into a bright light of dust.
"No! You can't leave! You can't leave! COME BACK!" Salem screams.
"Still demanding things of your creators..." The God of Darkness also disappears into a beam of purple light that shoots up into the sky and out of the atmosphere.
In the process, the moon is shattered. Moon fragments rain down like meteors back onto the planet's surface. Salem falls to her knees and lets out a scream of despair that is muted out by the crashing meteors.
"Once again, Salem was alone..."
Salem is seen walking alone. She walks by a pair of deer eating grass, as well as abandoned villages that are now inhabited by Grimm.
"She cursed the Gods. She cursed the universe. She cursed everything, everything but herself. She wandered the face of the planet, awaiting a death that would never come...".
Salem then stands on the edge of an overhanging cliff in the land once inhabited by the God of Darkness. She looks down at the blackened pool below her.
"Until fate led her back to the Land of Darkness. This was it. This had to be it, the brother's Grimm, the pools of black that continued to give rise to horrific nightmares. If the fountain of life granted her immortality, then surely, the pools of Grimm will finally take it away".
Without hesitation, Salem falls forward and is submerged into the blackened pool.
"She was wrong. This force of pure destruction could not destroy a being of infinite life".
Salem is thrashed around by an unseen force.
"Instead, it created a being of infinite life with a desire for pure destruction".
Salem crawls out of the pool, this time, her skin deathly white as well as her hair. She opens her eyes, irises red with black sclerae. Lucina watched her... For some reason, now that Salem looked like this... She looked very familiar... But surely she couldn't be...
"And in time, she would find her adversary...".
Ozma is shown awakening in a white space. He takes a look at his surroundings. Team RWBY, Lucina and Severa all watch him walk around aimlessly, before a voice can be heard.
"Ozma" Ozma turns around seeing the God of Light in his dragon form, before turning back into his regular form.
"Where am I?" Ozma asked.
"We are between realms. I'm afraid a tragedy has befallen your home at the hands of my brother. We have chosen to depart this world, but in our absence, I would like to offer you the chance to return to it" The Light God answered.
"I... don't understand" Ozma admitted.
"Mankind is no more, yet your world remains. And in time, your kind will grow to walk its face once again. However, without our presence, they will be but a fraction of what they once were" Suddenly, the God of Light conjures four objects: a Staff, a Sword, a Crown, and a Lamp "Creation, destruction, choice, and knowledge were the ideals upon which Humanity was made. Now I leave them behind with the hope that you will learn to remake yourselves" The four objects are conjoined together into a yellow sphere of energy "If brought together, these four Relics will summon my brother and I back to your world, and Humanity will be judged. If your kind has learned to live in harmony with one another and set aside their differences, then we shall once again live among you, and Humanity will be made whole again. But if your kind is unchanged, if you demand our blessings while still fighting amongst yourselves, then man will be found irredeemable and your world will be wiped from existence. Until your task is complete, you will reincarnate, but in a manner that ensures you are never alone".
Ozma falls to his knees as he comes to terms with this ultimatum "I'm sorry, but... that world just isn't as dear to me without her. If I may, I'd rather return to the afterlife to see Salem".
"You will not find her there" The God of Light said.
Ozma's eyes widens "You mean she isn't gone?".
The God of Light began explaining "Salem lives, but the woman you hold dear in your memories is gone. Heed this warning... where you seek comfort, you will only find pain. So, will you-".
"I'll do it" Ozma said quickly.
The God of Light looks in surprise at Ozma's immediate answer "Very well. Our creation rests within your hands".
The God of Light then disappears.
"And so Ozma was reborn".
Ozma reincarnates into a man with a tanned complexion and pale blonde hair, who had just stabbed a Beowolf with a pitchfork, causing it to disintegrate. Ozma takes the time to come to terms in his new body and surroundings. He looks up and sees people screaming and running into the forest he is in away from a burning village in the distance.
"Where am I?" Ozma hears a man scream, and looks over to see him flailing a sword at a Beowolf, which swipes at him to the ground, disarming him. Ozma's pevious soul takes over and runs forward, grabbing the man's sword and slaying the Beowolf.
The man gets back up relieved "Thank you. Please, tell me your name. Who are you?".
Suddenly, Ozma's newest reincarnate has trouble speaking, and throws the sword to the ground in horror.
Oscar watches the scene before him "He didn't know...".
As Jinn continues to narrate, Ozma walks down a street, seeing along the way Faunus locked up in cages, and a pile of Dust crystals on top of a table.
"Ozma had found himself in a world completely unfamiliar to him. Cities looked different. Creatures known as the Faunus bore fangs and claws and were locked away in cages. And without the blessing of the Gods, no one could perform magic like mankind was once capable of, no one but himself and a woman known as... the witch".
The environment around Ozma changes from the city to a forest as he comes upon a lonely, dilapidated cottage in the woods.
"During his years of travel, he heard the same frightened whispers that spoke of a terrifying sorceress who commanded dark powers in the wilds among the beasts and monsters. Ozma was convinced that this witch was Salem, and decided he needed to see what she had become".
Ozma stands at a distance from the cottage. The front door opens, and from the darkness beyond, Salem emerges, wearing black robes this time. She gives an angry glare while exiting the cottage, but suddenly, her expression softens upon seeing her visitor. Ozma likewise smiles back at her.
"Call it magic or call it something stronger, but in that moment, the two knew exactly who it was that stood before them".
Ozma and Salem walk towards each other, the two hold each other's hands, interlocking their fingers affectionately.
"What do we do now?" Ozma asked.
"Whatever we like" Salem answered... This was nearly identical to their first meeting.
As time passes, the scene shows the cottage changing from its dilapidated state to a much better condition, following with Salem and Ozma conversing with one another at a table on the front porch.
"As Salem and Ozma recounted the events which had brought them back together, each withheld parts of their story. Salem, fearing Ozma would reject her, blamed the end of the world on the Gods. Ozma, still unsure of where the truth lay, kept his task and the Relics a secret. Though time passed and all seemed well, Ozma's conversation with the God of Light still lingered in his mind. He had found happiness, but Humanity seemed more divided than ever before".
Salem and Ozma head back inside the cottage, still talking to each other.
"Are you surprised? This world is quite literally godless. These Humans have no one to guide them. Perhaps that's all they need" Salem said.
"What are you saying?" Ozma asked.
"Wecould become the gods of this world. Our powers surpass all others. Our souls transcend death. We can mold these lands into whatever we want, what you want, create the paradise that the old Gods could not" Salem explained.
Ozma is troubled at first, but then smiles in agreement with Salem. The two of them look each other in the eyes as Salem places an affectionate hand on Ozma's shoulder.
"The hearts of men... are easily swayed".
A village is shown under attack by a Nevermore. Suddenly, a purple energy surrounds the Nevermore, causing it to be bent and folded into unnatural positions. The Nevermore disintegrates, and the villagers watch as Ozma, once again wielding his scepter and wearing regal robes, and Salem levitate into the air side-by-side above them. They all bow down to the couple in reverence. Weiss and Yang are shown walking up to two statues of Ozma and Salem that are then erected.
"The two amassed a following. That following grew into a prosperous Kingdom".
A castle then appears and inside into a large room with a painting of Ozma and Salem together.
"And at the head of that Kingdom blossomed..." Five little girls then appear in the painting "...a family".
Ozma and Salem watch four of their daughters playing together, the little girls all wearing colors on their dresses similar to that of the Four Maidens. One of their daughters comes up to the two of them, playfully tugging on Salem's robe. The two parents smile at her before smiling at each other. However, the fith daughter, who had white hair and looked really frail, was not playing, and was instead sitting by herself.
Ozma and Salem gave her worried looks, it was clear she was sick... And they didn't know how to help her.
Lucina watched the white haired girl... She looked frighteningly familiar.
Blue smoke transitions the scene, showing a massive conflict between people that is being observed inside a crystal ball by a smirking Salem. Ozma stands a short distance away from her looking outside the window.
Ozma looked troubled "Are we sure this is right?".
Salem looks over to Ozma "You said we needed to bring Humanity together. In order to do that, we have to spread our word, and destroy those who will deny it".
Ozma gains a shocked expression on his face upon hearing these words. He turns to see his reflection on the window, which suddenly talks to him "What are we doing?".
Ozma reels back in horror seeing his reflection ask him that question, briefly becoming his original incarnation, before looking over to Salem "This isn't what he asked of me...".
"What did you say?" Salem asked in a dangerous tone.
The two then hear a door open, and their eldest daughter enters the room excitedly "Mother, father, look!".
Their daughter then conjures multicolored wisps that fly in circles in front of her. Salem has a proud expression on her face, while Ozma looks on in surprise, before looking down with his troubled expression again.
"It was a miracle, their children could perform magic. But what should have been a joyous occasion was short-lived".
Smoke transitions the scene again, this time showing Ozma telling what he knows to Salem in his study.
"Ozma told Salem everything, the true reason the God of Light had brought him back, the Relics that they scattered around the world, and the day of judgement he had been told to prepare for".
Ozma finishes his explanation to Salem.
"Don't you see? None of that matters anymore. Why spend our lives trying to redeem these Humans when we can replace them with what they could never be?" Salem offers her hand out, but Ozma hesitates to take it, backing away in disgust.
Smoke transitions the scene again showing Ozma quietly escorting his daughters through the quiet halls. The second youngest daughter looks down the hallway, noticing something "Mommy?".
Salem stands at the end of the hall menacingly. Ozma protectively stands in front of his daughters. Salem, realizing what he is doing, angrily conjures a red beam from her hand. Ozma uses his scepter to counter Salem's attack, launching a green beam. Their attacks clash, engulfing the area into a bright white flash. Ruby and Weiss watch in horror as Ozma and Salem fight throughout the castle. Their battle causes the castle to collapse and be destroyed in the process. A charred plush toy is shown, implying the daughters were killed in the fearsome battle. Ozma weakly crawls away leaving a trail of blood on the ground. Salem then reforms thanks to her immortality, and angrily walks over to Ozma.
She kicks him over onto his back and holds him down with her foot "We finally had freedom...".
Ozma weakly looks up at her "I-".
A blast of fire from Salem engulfs Ozma, killing him once again. Lucina looked on in horror before she heard crying. Salem heard it too and looked to see the youngest and most fragile of her children had somehow survived the battle, but was clearly hurt.
Salem walks up to her and picks her up "They will not take you from me. I will not allow it".
"Thus began a long and painful cycle of death and rebirth for Ozma".
A montage of Ozma's various reincarnates are shown, including a frail man weakly walking by many gravestones, followed by a despondent man walking in the rain, who would rather drink his problems away.
"Some lives were spent in mourning, many were spent attempting to forget it all".
Finally, Ozma reincarnates to a dark-skinned man with glasses who starts off slouching, but then eventually stands straight up and determinedly walks forward.
"But no matter what, his mind would eventually turn back to the task he had been burdened with".
Ozma's newest reincarnate is shown serving a meal to his wife and two children, both of whom interestingly have silver eyes. A mirror image of the man is shown behind him, leaning on a nearby wall.
"And as the centuries went on, Ozma began to learn the importance of living with the souls with which he had been paired".
Ozma then hears screaming outside. He opens the door and sees villagers running around in panic as Grimm attack.
"But no matter where or how he lived, her presence was always felt".
Ozma looks back to his wife, who nods in understanding, before going out with The Long Memory into battle.
"If Humanity were ever to stand a chance at being united, one thing was clear..."
Ruby knew the answer already "He had to destroy Salem...".
Smoke then transitions showing Ozma's reincarnation many years older now, tinkering with his cane in his workshop.
"Knowing he could never rid the world of her through any mortal means, Ozma sought out the power of the Relics".
The elderly tinkerer then places his cane inside a metal cabinet, closing the door on it. The door opens again showing Ozma's newest reincarnation, a well-dressed man, picking up the cane where he last left it in his previous life.
"Armed with my knowledge, he believed he could fulfill his promise to the God of Light".
Ozma is next shown holding the Relic of Knowledge, summoning Jinn for the first time. All of Team RWBY can be seen with him as they walk towards Jinn.
Ozma "Where are the other Relics?".
"He asked me his questions".
Ozma "What powers do they possess?".
"And though I gave him my answers..."
Ozma "How do I destroy Salem?".
"...Not all of them were to his liking".
Everyone watches as Jinn gives her answer to Ozma "You can't".
Upon hearing this, Ozma falls to his knees in despair, Ruby, Weiss and Blake all have shocked expressions, and Yang closes her eyes in anger.
"However it wasn't until much later he would learn of another difficult truth. His youngest daughter was still alive".
The white haired girl was breathing hard as Salem was performing something inhumane.
"Mom! Mom stop! Let me die! Please! Just let me die!" The girl begged in agony.
"Combining her magic with countless long forgotten experimentations, Salem kept her daughter alive through many painful years. Her daughter's pain was necessary to keep her alive. Salem became the very same possessive parent her father was. Keeping her daughter trapped in a horrible life, just to spare herself from the pain of loss... But she underestimated how much of her own willpower her daughter possessed".
The blue smoke revealed a new scene where the white haired girl had finally managed to escape from her mother's clutches. She was running as fast as she could, despite being in clear pain. She fell to the ground, sobbing... until she heard footsteps and looked up to see a blue haired man. One Lucina knew right away who he was.
"Father..." Lucina spoke.
"Call it a miracle, call it destiny, the caged girl would find her own knight, just like her mother before her".
The much younger Chrom helped the girl up "What is your name".
The girl looked at him... and her name confirmed Lucina's worries "Eir".
"Mother..." Lucina said quietly...
But if her mother was Salem's daughter... then that means...
The revelation made Lucina collapse to her knees, tears falling from her eyes as her world was falling apart... She cried as the snow falls once again.
.
Wow... A long chapter for a long episode. Obviously I couldn't change to much since it explained events that took place many years before our heroes' time.
But this chapter was still very important as you can see, as it allowed me to reveal another major part I've been planing for a long time. Something that will finally make Lucina more important to the story, beyond just being the leader of her team.
.
Tell me what you think.
