3rd POV

After what felt like ages Summer was the first to speak... or well shout.

Summer: You can talk?! After all these years, you can talk?

She looked sad, angry and more than a little disturbed

Overlord: It was only through the consumption of a great deal of magic that I may speak to you directly. Be glad that you were deemed worthy of such an honor.

He stated coldly with little emotion. 

Ruby and Yang stood further behind Summer, shaking at the deep booming voice of their new stepfather. Curiosity got the better of Ruby as she quietly asked...

Ruby: Uhm hi, hello your supreme evil Overlordness... Can we please talk to our mom... alone? 

Summer turned to her daughter wide eyed and looked over her shoulder back to the glowing eyes of her beloved. Cruel as he was... would he allow her to speak to him directly, and make demands of him? 

However, before he could reply another stepped forward from behind their master's throne...

Gnarl: You dare?! Impudence! A child addresses the lord with no curtesy, no knowledge of-

Yang: WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING??? 

He was abruptly and rudely interrupted by the blonde who backed away again in fear of the hideous creature slowly approaching her mother and sister...

Gnarl, who looked as though he had half a mind to beat the girl like a piñata, turned to his master and gave an exasperated look. 

Overlord: Gnarl come; we have much to discuss with the good witch.

He stood frightening the two sisters and walked to the elevator. With his disgruntled head minion following they traversed into the dungeons below the main campus of Beacon Academy. Leaving the mother with her daughters...

Summer: 'sigh' That was incredibly rude Yang. Gnarl is an old and trusted advisor to the Overlord.

Yang flinched at the disappointed tone of her mother. Five minutes together and already getting the angry mom treatment... 

Yang was so glad to have her back with glassy eyes and a wobbly smile

Yang: S-sorry mama.

Summer took a deep breath and approached the foot of the throne, taking a seat on a pile of cushions put there for her to comfortably relax by her beloved master~

Ruby stood awkwardly to the side not knowing what to do, deciding the best thing is to approach her mother she stops at her feet and crumples into a heap, Summer grabbing her and putting her head on her lap.

Summer: It's ok my beautiful gem, I'm here-

Ruby breaks down into a sobbing mess

Ruby: MAMA W-W-WHERE WERE YOU? DADDY LOOKED EVERYWHERE A-A-AND U-UNCLE QROW TRIED TO FIND YOUY F-FOR SSSSSOOOO LLLLOOOOONNNNNNGGGGG!!!!!!

Summer looked at her daughter with tears brimming in her own eyes and brought her into an embrace, Yang waddled over and knelt down to join the embrace already crying and began to wail into Summers shoulder. Summer unable to hold herself back wrapped her arms around them and they began to cry to each other for minutes, turning to hours. 

She had some explanations long overdue, she just needed to stop crying long enough to speak... until the cries turned to lite sobs and eventually into gentle snoring, perhaps those explanations could wait. 

---------------------------------------------------------


Far beneath the surface of Beacon 

A dungeon of old 

The remains of countless centuries

Lies, silver and gold

Secrets and treasures

Lit by fires ancient and mysterious

Traps many with lethal measures...

The cackles of minions rained down

Upon a number of prisoners of various types

Along with a maiden in white gown

All would know soon,

Those who do not bow

Will be broken and enslaved

BY the master of this realm

THEIR OVERLORD

Authors note:

Hello all, 

I do apologies for the long hiatus. Life has a way of kicking you while you are down, and it kicked me like I owed it money.

Several deaths in the family, college, injuries and illness it all just got too much, and I chose to quit before I got done in myself. But now I finally feel like I have some breathing room and want to slowly come back to doing what I enjoy doing. Writing crappy fanfiction! Well actually compared to the last couple of RWBY related media my work seems pretty good! 

Anyway, any and all feedback is welcome! 

Sincerely, CorruptProphet
