   Me and my friends Brice Willis and Charles Roberson have been working on this story since Season four has come out. I'd like to add, without him, I never would've uploaded a RWBY piece. I always wanted to, but was never inspired enough to do so. In all honesty, Brice was that inspiration due to that feeling I got when sitting there listening to all his great ideas. Brice has come up with all the characters (except for Axi *credit to me* and Layric *credit to Charles Roberson.*) Point is, with someone with so much passion in something, I couldn't help but to feel some of it. If I am the only person with a friend like that, I am sorry, because you my friend, lack true friends.  

   Researching RWBY, I've figured out a few things that has helped us advance the story; and in doing so, I found something I haven't before: The cover photo. I thought it represented everything Monty was. If humanity had an embodiment of majestic, then Monty was that. And it shows with this picture. Not only does it show Monty; but it also reflects each character. For example, Blake's right leg is bent as if ready to move; showing her agility. Yang is shown with a firm stance; showing her strength. It may be a year too late, but I don't believe it's ever late enough to honor an idol you have in life. (This is all my thoughts, I am not speaking for the other two but I have confidence in saying he would agree with everything I have said.)

Brice, Charles, and I are all scripting the story; each of us writing our own characters POV and we usually write Irene's together as a group. 

   I'd also like to apologize for the poor quality of our media content. I drew a concept Halberd with all the modifications I explained in "New Blades" in a blueprint format for my character which is in "Expectations." And lastly, for each of our characters, they're in the chapters corresponding names. We made them through an anime creation website which was better than I expected, but is obviously not the best.  And the chapters with (V1) at the end of the chapter title is not the official chapter.

   Anyway, enjoy the story and if you have any thoughts at all, just comment! Thanks for reading! XD   

P.S. SALI is pronounced "say-lum." @ElvenUnicorn and @BriceWillis are the other writers in this story. They both have very ambitions ideas so please;  I highly recommend you checking out their stories! :)

P.S.S. We will be editing/rewriting some; hopefully most, of Salem Volume 1 soon, but not soon enough...long story, but you get the idea. It's going to be a while. 

Note for #Wattys2017- I have received permission by my friends to submit this; and I give full credit to them when it comes to their characters. Individually, they wrote their characters into this story in a way I never could. We have as one created a story and it's sequel; which I also have submitted, and I admit I could not have written these stories without them. And as for the entirety of the plot, we came up with it with our combined minds, sharing ideas and even tossing ideas away for better ones. The point is, equal effort by us all have been put in to this story.
