Team SAFF: A RWBY Story

The Night Before

The scene begins with Sky and Mylissa as Grandmaster Flaxen leads them into the chapel of the Monastery.

Sky: Where are you leading us, Father?

Grandmaster: To show you both a secret that has been kept in this Monastery for many generations.

The atmosphere inside the ancient chapel of the Monastery was steeped in tranquility as Grandmaster Flaxen, led Sky Altair and Mylissa Bora toward a hidden passageway. The air was thick with the scent of aged stone, and the flickering candlelight cast intricate patterns on the walls.

Grandmaster: Follow me, Sky, Mylissa. There's much I need to show you.

As they descended the secret passageway, the stone steps echoed with each measured footfall. The torches lining the walls flickered, revealing glimpses of ancient runes etched into the stone.

Finally, they arrived in a hidden underground vault, a place that seemed frozen in time. Bookshelves towered to the ceiling, laden with volumes of ancient knowledge. Dust motes danced in the dim light as Flaxen gestured toward the vast repository.

Mylissa: This is incredible.

Sky: Why are you showing us this now?

Sky inquired, his eyes scanning the shelves filled with the secrets of old.

Grandmaster Flaxen turned to them, his expression grave.

Grandmaster: The world is facing a threat like never before, one that demands all the help it can get. The time has come to harness the power that this Monastery holds.

Mylissa: No offense, Grandmaster, but what can these books do to help us against this Salem?

Grandmaster: It is not the books that will help you. Tell me, what do you know about how this Monastery began?

Sky: It was founded almost two centuries ago. During the old days of Kings and queens that ruled over their respective Kingdoms.

Grandmaster: Indeed. But the true history of how this sanctuary was born goes back to its original founder. Zephyr Altair.

Sky's eyes widen in shock at the mention of his last name.

Sky: Altair?

Grandmaster: Yes. The last name we gave you when you arrived at our doors.

Sky: Why did you name me after the founder?

Grandmaster: That's because of how the texts described him. He, too, was a Kingfisher Faunus.

Mylissa: Are you trying to say that Sky here is-

Grandmaster: The reincarnation of Master Zephyr.

Sky's eyes widen in disbelief as the scene cuts back to Rebecca Stone inside her workshop. Rebecca is seen holding Tory's sword, examining every detail.

Rebecca: This weapon is beautiful. Possibly a family heirloom. Barely any signs of rust. Did you take care of this yourself?

Ivan is seen looking at the sword before answering Rebecca.

Ivan: I wanted to keep Tory's memory alive however I could. So every so often, I came to Vale to have it restored. Even if the blade was barely used at all.

Rebecca: I'm sure that Tory would have been proud of you.

Ivan: Thank you.

Rebecca smiles as she takes a deep breath and exhales.

Rebecca: So, what shall I work my magic for this weapon?

Ivan gives Rebecca a smirk as the scene cuts to him entering the training room. He stands ready as the room lights up with holographic Grimm. A Beowolf Grimm charges at him for an attack, but Ivan sidesteps and throws a right hook into the holographic Grimm's face, knocking it down.
