This is my waking

Hello again for chapter 2 of Rwby and Dark souls Cutting the strings.

Let's continue where we left off at

Ruby and her team were making their way to Professor Goodwitch for an important mission, entering her office. At the sound of the door opening, Goodwitch looked up from her paperwork.

"Ah, team RWBY. I hope you don't make it a habit of being late." She stated, giving the team a stern look.

Ruby nervously smiled, scratching the back of her head. "Umm...sorry?"

"No matter. I hope you all are prepared for todays assignment." She said, receiving a, "YES MA'AM!"

"Good. You're all being sent to an excavation site as assistants and guards. Listen to the archeologist in charge of the site, but if anything illegal is transpiring, you are to report it to the authorities and await further instructions. Now, any questions?" Glynda asked, looking over the team.

Ruby spoke up with excitement, "Oh! Where are we going? To an ancient temple or-or a lost desert city?!" Ruby asked with sparkles in her eyes.

"Now don't be ridiculous Rubes, it can't be that big of a deal, otherwise it'd be a second year team or something." Yang pointed out.

"Awwwwww." Ruby slumped, a bit sad at her excitement being shot down.

"If you two are done-", Weiss butted into the conversation "-I'd like to know where we are going" she said, not wanting to waste time.

Goodwitch picked up a folder from her desk, handing it to Ruby. She opened it and looked through it, "You all will be going to ruins known as the 'FireLink shrine'." Blake perked up, hearing the name.

"Sooooooo, Blake. Ya looked like you know where we're going." Yang said, taking a seat next to her.

"Well, I think I do." She answered, taking the book she was just reading prior out. "I've read it out of this."

Showing the book to the others, Ruby perked up, "Oh that the book you were reading earlier! What's it called?" Taking a closer look at it, she noticed something, "There's no title? What kind of book has no title?"

Blake opened the book, "I don't know, I found it on a lone shelf in the library early morning and haven't been able to stop reading it."

"So what's so special about it?" Weiss asked, trying to look at it from behind Blake. Trying to get room from her crowding teammates, she began to read. They had time to kill.

In the beginning, there were two plains of reality, 'the above' and 'the below'. Above was a lifeless gray land, ruled by the dragons who lived forever. Nothing changed, all stayed the same, none living nor dying .

The below was nothing but darkness at first until a flame grew bright, showing the creatures hiding in the dark. Four creatures were drawn to the light and became something more. The flames had great power and they claimed it.

This power shaped and changed three, the first to come to power was the Grave Lord Nito, the embodiment of death. Second, was the Witch of Izalith who became the embodiment of life. Last was Lord Gwyn, who became the protector of the light and claimed the light was more powerful than the gray world up above. So they declared war.

Many knights died in the war as the dragons were immortal. It seemed there was no hope of winning this war.... Until intel of one dragon that betrayed his kind. Seath the Scaleless, born without the scales of immortality, told Gwyn the weaknesses of the dragons, jealous of the dragons who had what he did not. The scales were their lifeline and lighting was the way to pierce them.
