RWBY: Legends (Vol 1-3)

A Restless Night

I was wandering the quiet, dead woods. The only sound heard was the crunching my boots made in the snow. The moon was illuminating the path less traveled by wanderers that led to a cliff side over looking the sea.

When I reached the clearing, staring across the edge of the cliff was a man with dark, short hair and wolf ears wearing a long black trench coat, a white dress shirt, black dress slacks, and black dress shoes. He also had an ornate cane attached to the back of his trench coat with a silver wolf's head as the handle. The woman on the other hand had long, bright white hair. She also had a pair of wolf ears on top of her head. She had a black and silver half cloak wrapped around her neck, she wore a white corset, a loose fitted hoodie that went over her corset but under the cloak. Her right shoulder was partly exposed from the hoodie falling past her shoulder. She wore a pair of black shorts and black leggings that reached her mid-calf, and a pair of black high heeled boots with white highlights. Strapped on her wrists are what appear to be a set of bracelets. Her weapon maybe?

I continued forward towards them. When I was a couple steps away from them they both turned towards me and my eyes went wide and my heart stopped.

Me: "Mom? Dad?"

Neither of them said anything. Standing before me was my dead parents. All they did is smile, my dad with a closed, eye goofed smile and my mom with small loving grin. Tears began rolling down my face as I ran towards them and crashed into them giving them a hug as they embraced me. I felt warm, safe.

Dad?: "My how big you've gotten. Strong too, wonder if you could take down your old man?" He said jokingly with a big smile on his face. I couldn't help but chuckle through the tears.

Mom?: "Why are you crying sweetheart?" She said wiping away my tears as I looked up at her.

Me: "I missed you" All she did was smile down at me.

Mom?: " Well don't cry. I hate seeing you cry and without a smile. Never loose that smile. It doesn't fit you being sad." I nodded, putting a smile 0n my face. That's when this dreamed turned into a nightmare.

Their faces turned to those of horror. Their clothes became tattered and splattered with blood, their blood. Black and spindly arms erupted from over the cliff and dragged both of them over the cliff as they screamed in horror and pain.

Me: "MOM! DAD!" They were gone, again...

???: "Hello little pup~" A woman's voice called out from the dark. It seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at the same time. It was dark and sultry and terrifying at the same time. That's when she appeared where mom and dad once were and had disappeared. She had ghostly white skin, jet black sclerae, crimson irises that glowed in the night, a black diamond in the center of her forehead, dark veins that lined her face and arms, and long jet black fingernails. Her hair was as white as snow and in a large bun with offshoots. She wore a long, short-sleeved black robe with red inner lining and a curved high collar with red trimming across the edge of a narrow window exposing her bust in a vertical ellipsis.

???: "What beautiful silver eyes you have little pup. It would be a travesty if I were to pluck them out~" She said so casually, so alluringly, but also with such malice I began to shake as my breath became short and my vision darkened and narrowed. Until the point I only saw her smiling, like how mom did, in such a motherly way but with such evil in her eyes. I blacked out...

I woke with a start, breathing hard and sweating bullets. Tears ran down my face as I tried to control myself. I looked around my surroundings trying to get my bearings. I was in my room, in my bed, safe. I looked across my room to my window and saw that it was still night out. I look at the clock on my night stand as it reads 12:30. I remembered back to mom and dad and that woman.

Me: "It was only a nightmare. But, it felt so real. Who was that... woman?" I whispered to myself. I decide to roll over and try to fall back asleep... no matter how unlikely that is.

(Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Arian and Lilith trading blows in sparring)

I couldn't fall back asleep as I thought, so I decided to get up and get some training in before it's time to leave for Vale.

Me: "Hya!"

I swung my sword, Frostbite, in its claymore mode at the wooded dummy and for the fifth time this week I decapitated it. Lilith is going to be upset with me... again. Getting reprimanded by Lilith is a totally different experience than being reprimanded by any normal person. She learned and took to heart some of Raven's punishment styles. I couldn't help but shiver at the thought of it.

???: "I thought I heard someone training. I see you broke another dummy, little pup~" A voice said from behind me that instinctively made a shiver go up my spine. I turned and saw my sister with a sinister look on her face as a dark aura surrounded her. Then it all disappeared.

Lilith: *sigh* "I should know by now that something like that is inevitable. I suppose it's my fault for continuously replacing them with the same style instead of upgrading." She then walked over to the weapon rack on the left side of the wall and picked up a spear. "I think a suitable punishment for the both of us would be a sparring session. Prepare yourself, little brother~" She said as she spun the spear above her head in a one handed fashion and got into a defensive stance.

Me: *smirks* "Of course, Siren~" Lilith at first frowned at the nickname that she had gained during her time in the military before she also began to smirk. It was one of the two she was called the most. Siren was given to her by Winter and some of the soldiers in the Atlas military as it was based off of her semblance, Pheromones of Aphrodite, which allows her to secrete either an invisible or pink colored cloud outside of her body that covers herself and when she either makes eye contact with a person or they come into physical contact, it causes the affected to go into a state of euphoria or deep attraction allowing Lilith to influence or have complete control over that person's actions through giving them spoken commands. A very useful semblance and a very dangerous one, and the first one that I copied.

Lilith: "Bring it." That wasn't a taunt, that was an order. So I decided to give her what she wanted. I blitzed her with Frostbite separated into its sword mode in my right hand and rapier mode in my left.

I went to thrust the rapier into her abdomen but she deflected it away from herself using the handle end of the spear. She sent a swift kick into my chest forcing me to retreat.

Lilith: *wags her finger* "Tut tut tut, Little Wolf. I thought Rave taught you better to know not to rush your enemy. Let them make the first move. Again?" I nod and regain my form and adopt a more defensive stance. "Good," She says before she attacks.

She jabs the head of the spear at my torso in a flurry. I dodge all the strikes by twisting my body left and right, in retaliation she sweeps my legs out from under me with her right foot. My back hits the ground hard, but I roll back just in time for her spear to stab into the ground where I was. I look at her and smirk as some sweat drips down my forehead. Lilith pulls her spear out the ground as she smirks back at me. She shifts her feet to get ready to sprint at me, but I get to her first. I crouch down slightly as my silver eyes flash and glow an icy blue. I am covered in a faint, silver aura as a black glyph forms under me. In a second, I am in Lilith's face as time slows down and shock is plastered on her face and I stare into her crimson eyes with my now glowing blue eyes. Before time resumes, I strike her in the stomach with my elbow and do a downward strike with both my swords from her right shoulder to her left side of her hip, sending her skidding back a ways. Time fully resumes as my aura disperses, and eyes return silver. I manage to stay standing as I feel like my legs turn to jelly and my head is about to explode. Lilith holds her stomach in pain and looks at the slash wound as her aura begins to heal it.

Lilith: *still in pain* "Well then, I wasn't expecting you to do that. Haven't seen you practicing with your semblance for weeks now and you've already started time dilation?"

Me: *pants* "Didn't... know I could do that. Spur of the moment... I guess, haha-" I manage to get out before I fall on my back, unconscious. Long story short, I finally slept.
