Epitaph

Chapter 1

I bring you a new story that keeps me awake at night, so I had no choice but to write it. This one will be short, 5 chapters maximum

The scoop was born out of something I've noticed... almost all of us write about the journey of our heroes, how they won and the rewards they got for it... but almost no one talks about their last days... that's where the story was born, to tell the final stretch of life

I hope you enjoy it

It's amazing what people can do when they regain their freedom.

Those were Weiss Schnee's thoughts when he saw the infrastructure of Vale located in the center of the city, although continuing to call it Vale would be incorrect... he still remembers when the city changed its name to - New Republic- A utopia generated from the population union of all the kingdoms, something that had been inspired by Vacuo, the first city to mix 2 cultures so different, and although the idea had to be created by the exodus when Atlas and Mantle fell, it never failed.

It was for this reason that decades later, Oscar proposed the idea of creating the Republic, a place that would serve as the union of the ancient Valerean culture and the mixture of the other 3 kingdoms.

A smile formed on Weiss' mouth as he remembered his team and how they reacted when Oscar proposed the idea that represented the union of their friends' cultures and the last bastion of humanity that was Vacuo in his final struggle.

-Excuse me... excuse me- Weiss's attention was brought back by the voice of a teenage girl who had carefully tapped his shoulder. She couldn't help but check out the girl in detail, if she didn't miscalculate she looked about 15 or 16.

The girl was wearing a simple, but elegant outfit, with vibrant colors reminiscent of the Remnant kingdoms. Her hair was short and of a dark blue tone, with some silver locks that stood out. She could see how the girl surpassed her in size, something simple due to her short stature... it still pained her to accept it.

- Hello! How can I help you? -Weiss answered kindly. The girl shifted her feet nervously at the attention, that behavior reminded her immensely of her team leader.

- Are you Weiss Schnee? - ser's white eyebrow raised in curiosity.

-Yes... How can I help you? - Ruby would be proud of the delicate tone in which she answered the question.

The girl gave a high-pitched scream at her confirmation -God, I can't believe it, I'm seeing my heroine- the emotion with which she spoke was contagious, attracting several people who began to whisper when they recognized her...

- Isn't she the former owner of the Dust Company?

- Wasn't she on the team that saved Remnant? -

-They say she is the Empress of Atlas.

-Please, I heard that you have full control of Atlas.

-How could she not make it after being recognized as a heroine of the world?

- Was it not she along with the ruler of the kingdom of Menagerie who promoted the Faunos treaties?

Weiss rolled her eyes at all the whispering and not at all discreet talk, honestly it shouldn't have surprised her at this point in the game, as an heir she lived through a lot of this, something that was only intensified by being part of the group that saved Remanant from Salem so many years ago.

- Can I have your autograph? - asked the girl who had recognized her, who quickly formed a small portal where she put her hand and pulled out a record, Weiss recognized it quickly, it was one of the first records that her father released when she began to sing in her events, if she remembered correctly, she was 15 years old when the record came out.
