RWMBY: Volume 1

Chapter 1

The moon was full on a clear night with no stars in sight. It shown down at a mass expanse of forest that dotted the plains of the land. Snowflakes gently drifted down from the sky above, dancing gracefully amongst the air currents. Said snowflakes slowly made their way to the ground, covering the earth's floor with a soft white carpet that contrasted greatly with the previous dark gray that covered the landscape. The dead trees of the forest stood out more than usual, their once bright leaves now only darkened by frost. They reflected the pale moonlight like silver mirrors. It lit up the area around them, creating an eerie atmosphere.

The snowy forest was empty; not even a single animal could be seen wandering about. Not even a bird flew through the branches as the trees stood tall and proud. All they were was silent. The trees stood perfectly still for hundreds of feet around, almost frozen in place from where they stood. A faint breeze moved through the trees, brushing against some of the branches, but other than that, it was quite still. Only the wind could be heard. It sang softly through the trees while the snow continued its quiet dance in the night sky.

Though the forest was devoid of life, it only confirmed that she was the only one.

In the snow canopy, far away from the comforts of home, a lone red-cloaked young girl walked through the forest. Glancing about every few moments before stepping off the beaten path to continue walking on. She took note of her surroundings, looking for any possible threats or problems. She scanned each tree branch before continuing along.

The young girl wore a black long-sleeved blouse with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves, over which is a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front, and a matching skirt with red lining. She also wears a pair of thick black stockings and black combat boots with red laces, red trims around the top, and red soles. Her outfit is topped by a red hooded cloak fastened to her throat and a large silver cross is pinned to her belt. Said belt was slung around her hips on an angle with a square gray-shaped pocket attached to the cross's side. Her face was hidden behind the red hoodie's shadows.

The young girl continued striding slowly through the forest until she entered a wide snow-filled field. She looked around in all directions, finding endless snow and unsurprisingly a group of Beowolves about ten feet away. The Beowolves gathered together and stared at her coldly. The young girl stood perfectly still, assessing the situation.

The Alpha Beowolf growled deeply, baring its fangs. Slowly it began moving forwards again. The other pack members began following suit, and soon they were approaching from all sides.
Slowly, the Alpha Beowolf crept closer, its mouth widening into a feral grin. Drips of saliva flecking from its maw. At that point, the other pack members formed a circle around the young girl. With a growl, the Alpha and its pack members shot forth and leaped into the air, adamant to rip her apart.

Only for the creatures to be left bewildered when they grabbed none but air.
The young girl had disappeared from where she stood instantly. All that could be found of her were fluttering rose petals. The wolves stare dumbfoundedly, twitching their heads left and right, trying to find their prey. Then suddenly one wolf noticed the fallen petals near his foot. It looked up.

The young girl hovered high in the air with her torso twisted around facing the Beowolves below. Her arms spread wide and her red cape fluttered in the wind. The hood of her cloak fell back, exposing strands of highlighted red tips of the hair. She was fair-skinned, with a slight blush on her cheeks. Two silver eyes shone brightly and stared down at her attackers with a blank expression.

This young girl was seen by some people as small and helpless; just a weak, naive young girl with no real power to stand against these vicious creatures. And if these creatures could speak they would have agreed. But little do these creatures know, they'll be surprised to learn quickly that there's a warrior within this girl that will soon run wild. She is purity, righteousness, defiance, and strength. And her name is Ruby Rose.
