Chapter 3: knock on Death's door
Location: Castle of Roses- Basement floor 10
Place: Viewing Room
Time: Three Days after-afternoon (Best guess)
The Viewing room was the place where Ruby and the members of Castle Rose could look out into the world. Or it would be if she COULD GET THE STUPID ORB TO WORK RIGHT! She had been at it for three days now with Volkinn's help, but so far nothing beyond the boundary of her territory could be seen. How Kamina got the damn thing to work she'd never know! He had been Head of the Recon squad as well as charge of organizing quick response defenses.
"Focus Mistress. The magics of the mirror allow you to see the world as it was always meant to be seen, but your mana is not focused," said Volkinn with a bit of amusement.
Ruby glared at him. "You remind me of Ghost!" groaned Ruby.
Volkinn chuckled. "Being compared to my Creator is the highest complement one can have from you Mistress," said Volkinn.
Ruby was about to open her mouth to speak when the Viewing Orb came into focus and showed a village. It wasn't large. Maybe 20 or 30 small houses with a few central buildings in place.
Looking at the village in place it would seem peaceful until Ruby looked closer, people running for their lives, families being torn apart for the sake of it, Women being dragged of by gangs of men. The invaders were not random either. They all wore black pants, White over armor over their clothes, gun metal visors covered their faces. They were armed with single shot bolt action rifles, and machete type swords. As Ruby looked on she felt little to nothing watching these people die. She had noticed that over the last few days her emotions on Life and Death were... null. She took no joy in watching death and she felt no sadness from it either. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that her race were the Emissary of death made living flesh? She didn't know.
"Volkinn... what is this village?" asked Ruby.
Volkinn took a step closer. "From our knowledge that village is called Signal. It is on the island of Patch. Patch itself is of the coast and is 15 miles out and the Island is by rough estimate about 95 square miles. It is connected by a bridge to the main land. That is all we were able to gather," said Volkinn crossing his arms
Ruby turned back to the orb and her eyes widened seeing what was before her.
"Mom, Dad!?" asked Ruby aloud as she looked at the figures in the orb.
Standing before a great many enemies were two figures that could have easily been mistaken for her parents with their looked.
The male of the Duo stood at 6'3", black hair that has two small strands sticking out from the top and blue eyes. His facial hair consists of a soul patch and small stubble along his jawline. On his right arm is a tattoo which resembles a heart, he wore a simple brown tunic, shorts, and shoes. Over his fists he wore a pair of gloves
The woman had silver eyes, fair complexion, and graduating blue-into-white hair that was shoulder length and tied back in a half-up/half-down style and wore a simple brown in her hand was a simple sword as she stood next to the man.
The looked like her parents... but they were not her parents.
Running away from the fight were two small girls who looked like Younger versions of herself and Yang. Ruby grit her teeth in anger. What was it about seeing this that angered her? Was it the fact that her mother died when she was 6? was it the fact that her father had basically become a withdrawn drunkard that left Ruby and Yang to raise themselves? Or was she seeing something else altogether. Was it because she was seeing what should have been?
Flashback.
The pounding of feet were heavy on the ground as Ruby ran for her -virtual- life away from her 'comrades'. They had claimed to be a group of players that liked to help new players 'power level' They had indeed helped Ruby power level to 10 outside of the 'safe zone' for players of her level or skill. Still she had trusted them. The truth had been that they were 'Noob killers' and loved to chase/ kill newbies in the Yggdrasil. After the first attack they had forced Ruby deeper and deeper into the wilds of the Great forest. She knew that is she encountered another player or a mid field boss she was done for.
She planned to round back at the river bed, but before that could happen a fire sprang up before her stopping her in her tracks as she dropped her Prototype automated Sniper-scythe. Spinning around she saw the three figures that had been her. A spell caster, a Warrior, and a monk.
"You got quite far Cresent. Were it not for my high level in tracking we would have lost you," said Spellcaster with a chuckle.
"Get stuffed," said Ruby with a glare.
"Fisty one," said Monk with a dark grin.
"Can we kill her now? I'd rather get back to the Safe zone if possible before we Run into someone higher then us or a boss," said Warrior with some irritation in his voice.
"Fine buzzkill. It's my kill this time," said Monk as he activated his skill Iron skin.
Before he could strike Ruby a shot ran out destroying him. Warrior and Spellcaster looked were the attack came from, before they both took a step back in fear. Two figures appeared from behind the trees.
The first was a Human figure. He stood at 6'5" a muscled body black buzz cut hair, wearing a full body forest camo sleeveless jumpsuit with a hoodie attached to it, shin guards arm guards, finger-less gloves, and a re-breather mask. His weapon was a matchlock rifle that seemed a bit off
The second was a Human as stood at 6'2" dark blue hair that was spiked slightly, black eyes, and a grin on his face that screamed confidence. He wore a blue coat with a red rose on my back, amber tinted safty goggles that sat on the top of his head, black Victorian slacks, and shoes with a gear facing out each side of me, one facing right on my right boot, the left facing out left.
"Hey Ghost did we just run into trash?" asked the man in blue.
"Yeah the noob killing kind, but I think killing them is too easy... Didn't you have something for this Kamina?" asked Ghost.
Kamina smirked. "Just who the hell do you think I am? I have just the thing for this. Summon: Hunter beasts," said Kamina dropping two small crystals that summoned creatures that appeared to be from nightmares.
Ghost chuckled. "You two better start running. Those Beasts are known to keep after their pray. Until you get to either a town or a safe zone. And the nearest Safe zone is in the area of the level 50's and Platinum Guilds," said Ghost.
Warrior and Spellcaster backed away in fear as they took off in desperation with the beasts following shortly after. After they were out of sight Kamina walked up to Ruby and offered a hand.
"Are you alright?" asked Kamina.
Ruby didn't answer, but instead looked away.
"What's the matter? Am I not handsome enough! Or am I not smooth talking enough?" asked Kamina in a panic.
"Chillout dude. She probably doesn't have it in her to trust anyone at the moment," said Ghost
Kamina nodded. "Good point," said Kamina.
Ghost went into his inventory and pulled out a teleportation scroll before handing it to Ruby.
"That is a "Target-Locked' Teleport Scroll. It's locked on to the Safe zone For New players were you can't be PK'd," said Ghost before turning. "Lets go Kamina.
"Why?" asked Ruby.
Kamina smirked. "Ghost and I don't really play this game for the Pking. We prefer to just explore, but If we run into Pkers we take them out with Ruthless Aggression," said the rouge in blue.
"Then teach me... Teach me to defend myself. Ghost... Kamina," said Ruby.
Kamina looked at Ghost and gave him a smile. Ghost sighed. "Fine but if your going to learn under us then you need to be aware of our names at least. I'm Acoustic Ghost The Mad Soldier," said Ghost.
Kamina bowed, "And my Name is Kamina44, Master off a thousand recites," said Kamina.
"I'm Cresent Rose... no fancy title," said Ruby.
Ghost smirked. "Then will find you one kid," said Ghost.
Flashback end
At that point in time Ruby didn't know it, but the three of them would become the founders and Leaders of The Red Rose Guild. Thinking back on it, that kindness showen by those two men saved her from her own personal hell... Perhaps it was time she returned the favor in some small measure.
"Volkinn have a Gate created to that location. I will prepare myself to go there and... destroy those who think they have power. Have Weiss and Garm meet follow after me," said Ruby as she vanished before Volkinn could replay.
Location: forest
Place: unknown
Time: several minutes after the attack started
Yin ran as fast her her 15 year old legs could carry her while dragging her 13 year old sister Sapphire behind her.
Even though they had been trained to fight against threats by their parents in both Martial arts and sword skills neither was a Match for trained Soldiers of the White Fang, The Kingdom of Menagaire's top warriors in their army.
"Air cutter!" yelled a voice behind her.
Yin's eyes widened as she grabbed sapphire and spun her around while mentally activating Iron Skin, but because it was so sudden and without the verbal command the power was cut drastically and the wind magic cut though her back.
Yin let out a scream of pain as she fell to the ground holding her sister as she squeezed her eyes in pain.
"Yin!" yelled Sapphire.
Yin opened her eyes and smiled at her sister. "Don't worry about me Saph. Take your sword and run... don't look back, just run... and if they catch you... take your blade to your own throat," said Yin.
Sapphire shuck her head, before getting out of her sister's grasp and drawing her sword. "I won't leave you to such a fate alone!" yelled Sapphire.
"A pair of sisters that are quite big in the chest. We are quite fortunate," said A soldier.
"To think that the Schnee Noble Family paid us to do this. What would Captain Winter think if she knew we were doing merc work?" asked his partner.
"No clue, but I dare say that we need to have our fun, before the others get here," said the First soldier.
The Soldier licked his lips as he changed at Sapphire and knocked her sword away! Sapphire yipped as the sword flow away and landed on the ground. The soldier raised his sword high ready to strike, only to see the sky a moment later as he lost his head.
Yin, Sapphire and the Remaining soldier looked at the figure who stood before Sapphire. She wore he wears a black long-sleeved dress with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves, a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front and around her skirt has a red trim Her outfit is topped by a red hooded cloak fastened to her shoulders by cross-shaped pins thigh-high stockings reaching to a few inches below the hem of her skirt, decorated by an image of a long-stemmed rose, on her face she wore a white mask with a red rose pattern etched into the right side of the mask. In her left hand was a large straight handle scythe that had a black tip to the blade, a black shaft, and near the center of the scythe was mostly red components that none of the others could make any sense of.
"You bitch! How dare you!" yelled the man
"No! how dare you call our beloved Mistress such an insulating word! DIE!" yelled a hulking figure behind the soldier.
The soldier froze in fear, before he slowly turned around and looked at the figure behind him. Standing there was Monster of a Man. He stood at 3 and a half meters tall, black long hair that went to the middle of his back, a beard that went to his chest, blood red eyes, sharpened K9s, scars all over his upper body, but tattoos on his left and right arms, a pair of monk trousers with a waist cape that circled his waist held, no shoes, tape wrapped around his hands and ankles. (1)
Before the man could say anything his head was removed from his head by the massive monster.
"Garm that was a little extreme. Acting like such a brute in front of Mistress," said Weiss appearing, wearing a sparkling blue leotard, white holy armor with on her chest that had a blue cape attached to the left side, thigh high boots, and a dueling belt. Her faithful rapier Myrtenaster. On her side. On her face she wore a pure white mask with black eye slits. (2)
"Any disrespect to out Mistress is grounds for execution commander," Garm said in a voice that was more akin to a growl then anything.
"There is no need to get so worked up on my behalf Garm, The Battle Wolf," said Ruby as she walked up to him.
Garm fell to one knee as Ruby came to him. Nearly twice as tall as ruby he had to kneel on a knee.
"You did good G," started Ruby
"YIN!" yelled Sapphire running to her sister and helping her sit up. "Are you well?"
"I'm alright sis. Nothing a healing potion fix," said Yin
Weiss and Garm turned to the girl with glares on their faces as they looked at her. Her voice was whinny and hurt the pleasure of the praise that their mistress gave them. Weiss went to draw her sword and unsheathe it and slay the brat for daring to insult their Mistress with her whining!"
"How dare you whine in front of Mistress Rose!" yelled Weiss unsheathing her sword about to bring it down.
"WEISS STOP!" yelled Ruby making her stop mid-slash
"Mistress," said Weiss lowering her sword.
Ruby walked up to the two girl and got down on her knees as Yin pushed Sapphire. Ruby reached into her pouch and pulled out small red potion. Yin and Sapphire's eyes widened as they saw the sealed Vial.
"Blood!" hissed Yin.
Ruby shuck her head. "No. This is a potion. Drink it and you will be healed," said Ruby kindly.
Yin took a drink of her potion as her back was repaired and the pain vanished. Sapphire smiled at her sister, before the duo looked at Ruby.
"thank you," said Yin. "You saved not only my sister, but myself as well,"
Ruby nodded as she stood up. "Shield of greater protection Double Maximum!" said Ruby holding out her hand as a red magic circle appeared before her hand
The Duo were surrounded by a green barrier as Ruby pulled out a flute, and two horde whistles and threw it before the girls.
"That summons a Cerberus to guard you, and the others summons Orc hordes to fight for you. Their items gifted to me by my friends many years ago that I have no use for now. Do not leave the safety of this barrier until I send someone for you. Gram, Weiss, let us head to the village," said Ruby.
"Yes Mistress," said the Duo.
Location: Village
Place: Village square
Time: a few minutes later
Autumn dodged a slash from a white fang Member... no a fake, before delivering a slash to the man's neck that ended his life. The party that had attacked their Village consisted of more then 100 men. And while She and her husband Taiyin had rushed to met the opposition, but they had been stronger then anticipated. Already the young women had been rounded and several young men killed. The husband and Wife do had to hold out until their friend and his unit came to help them.
"Tai do you have any Mana left?" panted out Autumn.
Tai kicked away a Fake before regrouping next to his wife in a defensive stance. "Barely. I have Enough Mana for an explosion, but that would mean the death of everyone here.
"I see... Tai... I may have to invoke the Church of Four here," said Autumn.
Tai looked at his wife and former adventuring partner before nodding. Autumn held her sword sideways. Invoking the will of once was child's play, invoking two could result in days recovering from the stress, three could see the end to your days of fighting. Four was a death granted. Or it was once thought that way, until Autumn managed to invoke all four when fighting a dragon, but that had been years ago. Their skills had waned and invoking could mean her death, but... they were out of options.
"Take care of our girls Tai. Four Seasons... Four Maidens... Grant this follower," started Autumn only to stop at the feeling of three very powerful auras appearing within the Incatation Range. (3)
"Finishing that incantation won't be necessary," came a voice neither Tai or Autumn reconsidered.
"Who the hell are you?" asked the man who was clearly in charge.
"My name is Cresent Rose. My companions and I shall be your opponents," said Ruby spinning her weapon around as Weiss and Gram prepared themselves for battle.

Even though she was, Is... its a confusining releastion relation with Yang, Cresent always admired her, maybe even harbored a crush on her that she was aware of, but turned down to to fear of putting the sisters at odds with each other.
"If I could have you both I would, but the world is not that kind,"
Cresents claim to the world could very well chance all that.
