The Grim(m) Oracles

The Odyssey of Ragnarok

Alone.

Nothing.

She had nothing....

She was drifting in an abyss.

A never-ending void of darkness.

Her senses were beginning to fail. Sounds were becoming more muffled by the second.

The equilibrium in her head was nonexistent. Everything was spinning.

She was ready to give up. Tears stained her face as she cradled herself back and forth. Her clothes were torn, as if she had been in an intense fight to the death.

She dared to open her eyes, but all she saw was the blood on her hands.

Her sight was becoming blurry and red. It was like she was looking through hell-colored glasses.

I can't go on like this...

Suddenly, the girl heard a cheer of encouragement, "COME ON WEISS! YOU GOT THIS!"

The shout echoed all around her and reverberated throughout her mind.

R-Ruby?

"Where are you?" Weiss asked.

She received no response. She began to second-guess herself, as if she was hearing things.

No, that's impossible...

As if the girl read her mind, "DO THE IMPOSSIBLE!"

Blake? But, I can't see you... So there's no way this is real!

Weiss clutched her head, trying to block out the world.

"SEE THE INVISIBLE!"

Yang!? Her too!?

Weiss shook her head. "Okay, this has to be real."

Only the team knows that phrase...

With her newfound courage, Weiss pumped her fist in the air. As she said the next few words, she heard team RWBY chant along with her. "ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER!"

Suddenly, the void shattered around her. She heard a woman's voice from behind. "And I thought I could keep you in that state for eternity."

Weiss turned around, "Cinder!" She seethed with venom in her voice.

"That's enough talk," Cinder snapped her fingers. "Get her, King Taijitu!"

Ominous lights flashed down on what looked like an arena. One. Massive. Arena. The earth beneath her feet was scorched and brown while the sky was red with swirling grey clouds. The sky was shaped like a dome, implying she was in some kind of barrier.
