ruby woke when she heard the sound of the ships speakers, saying that they are getting ready to dock at the island of menagerie. there was little to no trouble a few nevermores, and sea grimms here and there but nothing that she or those on the ship couldn't handle. the wraith appeared in front of her looking around with a smile on her face as faunas children run around the street's playing a few games here and there. ruby also smiled but soon realized that she might never be a mother now since she was dead.
"where to now?" she asked the wraith who looked at her then pointed to the center of the city.
"now we get to higher ground. there is tower in the center of the city that we can, use to get a ' bird's eye view' of the city." the wraith said to her as she disappears from view. ruby looked to the center to find the said tower but didn't see one. 'why use your eye's when i see everything. all you have to do is concentrate and focus looking through my eyes.'
Ruby closed her eye's for a bit then reopened them to see the world in a shadowy-bluish white. 'so this is what you see all the time huh wraith.' it was more of a statement rather than a question but either way the wraith said nothing. ruby could now see the tower the wraith was talking about it was as tall as beacon tower. ruby smiled as memories began to surface memories of when her and weiss went to the cct and saw how big it was. ruby shook her head to clear it as she made her way to the tower by scaling the buildings, and using her semblance while unknowingly the wraith manifest her legs and arms around ruby's but the glow was light that you couldn't even see them.
It took her about twenty minutes to get to the tower and then scaled it surprisingly, to ruby's shock the wraith appeared over her body as she scaled it as if the thing was solid underneath her.
' of course the building is solid we're dead thus a spirit, like this tower it is a ghostly reminder of something. what it is i have now idea but whatever it is, it is connected to me in some shape or form.' the wraith said when they reached the top there stood in the center of the tower was an anvil.
'what is an anvil doing up here?' ruby asked the wraith.
who didn't answer but instead approached it as a hammer appeared in her right hand. she looked at it for second then at the anvil.
"this seems familiar." the wraith said aloud to ruby. the wraith raised the hammer up and slammed it into the anvil, which had disappeared when the hammer struck it, and the tower pulsed as well as let loose a shockwave of energy. that only ruby felt or so she thought when all of the towns people looked at the center of the town only seeing nothing that could cause the feeling they had felt.
both ruby and the wraith looked at the spot where the anvil was one confused while the other was intrigued, ruby was confused as to where it went while the wraith was intrigued about it, and why it was so familiar to her it was like she had seen one of these before. but with her memories broken as they are she could not figure it out.
" we should keep moving." ruby said to wraith who nodded they still have to follow their lead before it becomes useless.
waiting for the boat to menagerie to come back was hectic for both blake and yang. but they kept themselves busy by helping professor goodwitch and several other huntsmen and huntress's fight back the grimm away from beacon.
*bang*
and there goes the last beowloves in near the dormitory. (damn yang what did those wolves do to you?) Blake looked at yang sadly since they were near where ruby was killed. yang looked around for anymore Grimm but found none. both her and Blake soon found their feet had started taking them to where Ruby's body is, unless the Grimm got to it yang hoped that they didn't she wanted to give her little sister a proper burial. apon arriving at the spot both were surprised and pissed off.
the body of their Deceased team leader/ little sister was gone, they looked around looking clues as to what happened to it but found nothing at least until Blake noticed a camera on one of the building's outside pointed right at them.
"yang look." Blake said as she pointed to the camera. yang looked up to where she was pointing, and saw the camera; she then turn and ran heading to the security room of the building. when she got there she got on a computer and rewinds the footage to when, she left Ruby's body she was surprised to see a spectral image of both her sister and someone else. blake came in behind her and was also watching the footage, both girls began to have tears in their eyes as they watched the footage. but unknown to yang blake was beginning to recognize the other spectral person from one of the history books, back in doctor Oobleck class when they were studying about the second age of remnant and the war during that time.
""What use are these broken memories?" Ruby asked the Wraith. "yang and blake looked at ruby who looked to becoming solid after picking up what is left of her scythe.
""It is important for you to have memory of what happened." The Wraith said. "Salem did not kill you herself. She most likely sent a grunt to do her bidding."" now both girls looked at eachother confused about who salem is or rather how is she responsible about ruby's death.
""And?" Ruby asked. "
""And, whoever she sent will have information on her whereabouts." "
""Unless she sent the order down the chain." "
""We will get our information one way or another." The Wraith disappeared. "See what else you can find." " they watched as ruby approached her dead body and a blinding light glowed from ruby's arms and the camera could only see white. when it disappears they watched as the ghost ad ruby talked about adam and how he killed her. which had yang shaking in anger.
""If we want to find Adam, where do we start?" Ruby asked the Wraith.
"We may not know where the wretched man is, but one of his men might." She told Ruby.
"Right," Ruby said. "But if you haven't noticed…" She motioned to the vacant campus around her. "There's no one around. Not to mention the fact that; all we have to protect ourselves is a scythe handle."
"Then arm yourself, and we will seek out a White Fang soldier." " and they watched as ruby who now was solid disappear in a flurry of red rose petal' ruby left her body had disappeared as if it was never there to begin with.
both yang and blake looked at each shocked at what they had just watched happened to their fearless leader. they looked back at the camera and yang grabbed her scoll and plugged it into the computer and downloaded the footage in its entirety from when yang left to when ruby's body disappears. both ran out the building intending to show the video to miss goodwitch or her uncle qrow who was helping out the clearing of grimm. but what the two didn't notice was that another person was also watching the video and the person stood in the shadow's watching the two. the person's right hand glowed as ring with two foxes on it's sides glowed. the figure looked down at it and smiled.
" at least she is still somewhat alive. eh sis?" the figure which is a male said with a carefree attitude the ring glowed a brighter showing the man' mouth and nose along with his eye's. his eyes were a silver color like ruby's but had a reddish-yellow ring around his pupil.(think sauron's eyes in the shadow of war when you tried to brand him.)
the man smiled as he turned into a pillar of silver light that goes up to the sky and heads towards one place where he could sense another silver eye warrior mangerie.
It had taken a day to look for one but ruby rose mange to a white fang base deep in the jungles of mangerie, she had found it via riding on a nevermore she looked at the camp as they shot at the nevermore with their weapons. ruby ad the wraith we enjoying the show until a fanus with a whip rapear had sliced it's wings up whiched caused it to crash into a cliff as it fell. and it is that cliff that ruby was on now looking down at them. as she draws her sword and got ready to rain hell on them.
