Part 15: Salem

YN's POV
I stood up again as a field formed around me and I was on the trail towards a castle sitting on a hill "Once upon a time there stood a lonely tower. That sheltered a lonely girl" The scene changed to a room in the castle with a blonde hair girl sitting at a mirror "Named Salem" she turned around and stood up walking towards the window

"Locked away by her cruel father, Salem was a girl who desired but one thing: freedom. When kings and queens were plentiful, when men and women were capable of greatness, and magic was a gift from the gods that all could wield" Salem sat down and created various multi coloured orbs in her hand "And yet there she sat within her tower" the scene changed back to outside of the castle revealing a tan skinned brown haired man holding a staff

"Until one day, a legendary hero came to brave the challenges within the towers walls. The people of the land knew him as Ozma" I walked up to him tilting my head as he walked through me and I turned around "Unlike those who had come before, this warrior was not driven by the prize of the young Maidens hand. He fought only for righteousness and his pure heart and courageous soul prevailed" I watched as he travels through the tower fighting its defences and eventually made it to Salem's room

Salem stood up and smiled as I watched them. They made their way through the tower again and ran out of the tower "They escaped that wretched fortress, and yet something bound them together. Ozma had been ready to give his life for justice countless times, but now saw a woman worth saving it for. And Salem, to her surprise, found her freedom not in the outside world she had yearned for, but in the eyes of the man that had saved her"

Salem looked at Ozpin "So where should we go now?" She asked

Ozpin or Ozma offered his hand to her Wherever you'd like" He said with a smile

The scene changed once again to the white landscape with Ozma and Salem holding hands "The two fell deeply in love planned adventures around the world, and lived happily ever after... Or at least that's what should have been" I looked around as the scene changed again

Ozma was laying sick in bed as Salem sat by his side crying. Even though I know everything she's done I couldn't help but put myself in her shoes "Ozma, the infallible hero of legend, fell ill. And where all the beasts and blades of the world had fallen short, a single sickness prevailed" Ozma disappeared in a puff of blue mist as Salem continued crying while clutching Ozma's staff

"How could the gods let this happen?" Salem whispered to herself

"The gods, brothers of light and darkness, creation and destruction. Salem prayed they would see the injustice that had befallen her love and make things right" an orb of light and dark appeared above my head as they circled and came back down to combine in front of my face

The scene changed to a mountain side with a stairway leading up. There was nature all around and Salem placed some yellow flowers at the bottom of the stairs while holding onto Ozma's staff "The Domain of Light was a sacred place. It was here the elder brother dwelled beside his fountain of life and creation. It was here... where mankind would fall to ruin" I followed Salem up the stairs as we walked to the edge of a pool with a single tree on an island in the center

Golden leaves drifted of the tree creating a circle as a golden man with antlers rose from the pool. I watched him in awe as he walked towards the edge of the pool and Salem dropped to her knees "Please... Please, bring him back to me" She pleaded

"I understand your pain, but you demand of me that which I cannot make so. Life and death are part of a delicate balance" The god of light explained
