The Bastard of RWBY

Vert

Yang and Wiess sat around and drank together as they watched the sun set "this is what every Queen wanted huh? Or Hero wanted" Weiss asked Yang

"I don't want to be a hero. Heroes do stupid things and they die. my mother, my father, and now Jaune, they all try to outdo each other of who can do the stupidest, bravest thing" Yang said sadly

Wiess looked at Yang with a cocked eyebrow "I find it interesting that you name all these "heroes", your Father, your Mother, and even Jaune, they all followed you, all loved you as a leader but Jaune, he loves you for you" Wiess told her

"Your an idiot or just blind, Jaune's not in love with me" Yang said

"Oh, my mistake" Weiss told her and took a drink of her beer, "I suppose he stares at you longingly for different reasons?" Weiss chuckled

"if I wasn't half drunk I would punch you" Yang told her

A raiding party consisting of Jaune, Mercury, Sienna, Sun, Roman, Lyanna, Glynda and several White-Fang are ranging into Vert. The men trek through the now frozen valley filled with jagged rocks. The White-Fang are pulling a sled loaded with gear and provisions. The men are climbing a steep mountain covered in snow.

Sun was walking but he was shivering and his teeth were chattering

"Are you all right?"

Sun turned to his right to see Jaune

"Never seen snow before, Lived all my life in Vacuo" Sun replied

"Beautiful, eh?" Jaune asked

"wouldn't say that" Sun said

"How do you live down here? How do you keep your balls from freezing off?" Sun asked

before Jaune could say anything Mercury came up to Suns left

"You have to keep moving. That's the secret. Walking is good, fighting is better, fucking is best"

"Though I wouldn't try to get with Arslan or Sienna, Trust me, They'll kill you before you drop your pants" Jaune chuckled

Sun Walked ahead and Jaune and Mercury were beside each other. Mercury looks to Jaune as they continue to walk.

"Ya know, Smart people don't come down here looking for the dead" Mercury told him

"well, guess that makes me crazy huh?" Jaune replied

"So, you meet with Yang huh? And?" Mercury replied

"She'll fight beside us" Jaune replied "but I'm gonna have to call her Queen after the war is won" 

"You spent too much time with Us and now you don't like kneeling" Mercury replied "Adam was a great man, a proud man. The king beyond the wall never kneeled. How many of his people died for his pride?" Mercury asked

Jaune nodded his head in sadness.

The raiding party are marching single file across the frozen tundra. Roman stops to button up his coat more. then Mercury approached him.

"Been awhile Roman" Mercury replied

"Fuck off" Roman scoffed

"I heard you were dead? Jaune also seemed pretty surprised to see you alive as well" Mercury said

"Oh I died alright, then the Blonde brought me back" Roman said pointing to Goodwitch
