Alright. Chapter thirteen is on the way, and I have been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 so far as I am planning to write a single chapter on a crossover that is based on the game, I have been playing non-stop. But, to give you what I am planning to write, how about a little preview on some parts of the next volume. Let's have a look, shall we?

Dark Souls: Embers of Remnant

Preview #1

Ash, along with Ruby and her group have managed arrived at their designated destination…

"The Kingdom of Atlas. Said to be the youngest and prosperous Kingdom in all of Remnant." The Unkindled quietly muttered to himself before looking at what was at the bottom of said Kingdom. This surely reminded him of both the Boreal Valley and Anor Londo. "Doesn't look prosperous to me."

They meet new and old faces…

"SALUTATIONS!"

Ruby gaped as she couldn't believe who she was seeing with her own eyes. "Penny?!"

Ash was about to ask who she was right before seeing the girl instantly flying towards Ruby and tackled her to the ground. He didn't say anything as he was too curious to know who this person is.

…

The Unkindled One managed to hide by using the Chameleon spell and watched the group having their weapons and the Relic taken away by a group of people consisting of three men and two women. His saw them looking around as if there were looking for him. He quietly let out a sigh as he had left the area to search for him. He saw a police craft landing near them and immediately thought of an idea.

…

Ironwood raised his eyebrow at the new person that was in Ruby's group. "And who you might be?"

Ash looked back at the General while his body was tense. "Just call me Ash."

Hearing this name made the robotic girl tilt her head. "Ash?" It was at that moment that ticked something within her mind. She had a cheery look on her face. "Oh, you mean the Ashen One, right?"

Hearing what Penny had just spoken caused him to tense his body and directly look her dead in the eye. It was reasonable since he told no one about that title. "How do you know that?" His voice was stoic, yet there was also a heavy hint of hostility.

Everyone clearly saw the shift in his tone. They never heard him being so hostile, yet there were no signs of doing anything malicious. Qrow narrowed his eyebrows at him. "Ashen One?"

Winter and the General looked at one another. By analysing their facial expressions, the two seemed to expect this kind of reaction from him. "We may have found the person we're looking for."

Naturally, this caused Ash to turn to look at them in disbelief. Everyone else shared his reaction. "Can you plain explain right now what is going on?"

The older Schnee noticed that his voice sounded more hostile as they mentioned something. She looked at her Commanding Officer, who nodded at her before she answered his question. "We encountered this woman not so long ago back in Mistral. We thought she was some stranger. But she expected us."

"Expected?" Weiss spoke, finding it hard to believe that a woman had suddenly expected them.

This didn't sit well with Ash. Although he was still a bit tense, he let a question out of his mouth. "And who exactly is this woman that expected you?"

Winter had the look of uncertainty on her face. "We…"

"Ashen One?" A soothing, calm voice of a woman called out to him. His eyes widened behind his helmet as he exactly knew who that belonged to.

Ruby and the others, on the other hand, wondered who it was. They turned around and saw a woman standing at the entrance to the General's Office. One would say that she was beautiful. She had long platinum-blonde hair tied up to a braid that reached her spine and wore a formal black and brown attire consisting of a Robe, Manchettes and Skirt. A well-designed metallic blindfold resting on the top half of her head was eye-catching to them, hinting that she was blind. None of them knew who this woman was. Yet, to Ash, he knew who it was.

Tensions have only gotten worse…

"Ashen One, art thou wise to keep such secret hidden from the General?" His dear friend asked him with concern.

Ash didn't say anything as he was busy getting a set of armor from his bottomless box along with a shield. "It is Lady Ruby's choice and not mine. I will not guide them all the time. Sometimes, they need to deal with the consequences on their own. Besides, Ironwood doesn't trust me and you, and I don't trust him as well with what he is doing."

But that doesn't mean they got their upgrades…

Team RWBY, along with JNR, Qrow, and the Ace Ops arrived at their destination. But it didn't seem like they got here first. All saw Ash dealing with a Geist with sheer efficiency. it was probably because of the effects of the Wolf Knight's Greatsword along with a steel colored Great shield with a Wolf Insignia all over it. His armor seemed to be fitting. Consisting of a Steel armor with blue fabric, white furred shoulder cape, and a full silver steel Helmet with a 'T' shaped visor. "Man, I thought we were going to be here first."

The leader of the ACE ops only full-heartedly laughed at the newest member's words. "It seems we have ourselves a bit of a competition."

There will be new enemies

Jacques Schnee turned his gaze at Ash, who walked up to him. His face was filled with contempt as he looked at him. "And who you might be?"

"It is of no concern." Ash stoically told him with a cold remark. "Looks like no matter what the public portrays you as, you are nothing more than a lecherous pest."

Which comes with some consequences

"That bastard is costing me more money with this embargo!" Jacques angrily informed Arthur Watts. "I'd lay off every employee on Mantle if I didn't have their damn votes for this council seat."

The disgraced scientist can tell there is something else bothering the SDC President. "You've got a lot of anger there. Is something bothering you?"

"That's because an armored individual accompanying my daughter had the audacity to call me a lecherous pest." He pointed to himself. "A pest?! I am no pest because I provided everything to the company! How DARE he insult me!"

"Interesting." The doctor spoke before sitting down on the couch. "What if I say you can use a stone and kill two birds with it?"

Secret will be uncovered

Ash followed Patches to the deepest parts of Mantle's mines. They arrived at their destination and saw a large hole that was filled with nothing but pitch black. "What am I looking at here?"

Patches just shrugged his shoulders. "I think you already know what that is?"

"…The Abyss…"

…

…

…

The Kingdom of Atlas is at an inevitable fall…

Greed, Abuse and Corruption runs rampant in the young Kingdom…

And it only fuels the Abyss…

How will Ash prevent that from happening?

…

Is it possible to let that happen?

…

How will the events lead up with the consequences he kept from hiding the secret of the Abyss threat from everyone?

…

and more importantly...

...

How will this affect their plans once Salem gets involved?

Dark Souls: Embers of Remnant Volume Two

This is the premise of some parts of the next volume. I believe none of this will make sense unless you watched volume seven of RWBY.

Surprise to see Ash getting a set of new armor. I know what it is, and I will not give you the name because some will already know what it is. That and how he uses a Great Shield in the next volume.

Bye, and I will see you in the next chapter.
