Jinn's Illusion

The cyan washed into the darkness, building the image of Salem, standing by an oversized window, looking to the outside world with longing eyes. Shirou walked over to the woman, seeing that his presence went unnoticed.

Jinn: (voice) Locked away by her cruel father, Salem was a girl who desired but one thing...Freedom.

Salem walked through Shirou, dematerializing herself into smoke before rebuilding herself.

Jinn: (voice) She lived in a time when Kings and their kingdoms were plentiful.

Ruby watched on, still confused and conflicted that her supposed enemy was the girl strolling to her desk.

Jinn: (voice) When men and women were capable of greatness and magic was a gift from the gods that all could wield.

The girl say down, playing with magic of all the different elements, swirling on the palms of her hand.

Jinn: (voice) And yet there she sat within her tower.

The cyan smoke consumed the whole illusion, replacing it with the enormous castle from before. With a luscious green field, filled with dozens among dozens of melee weapons along the soil. The smoke then conjured a man.

This man had dark brown hair, hazel eyes, tanned skin; he wore a turquoise suit under pieces of grey armour, that had a dark cape attached to the back. He carried a highly decorated dark green scepter, with a large, bright green jewel at the top.

Qrow walked up to the man, examining his amour and appearance.

Jinn: (voice) Until one day, a legendary hero came to brave the challenges within the tower's walls. The people of the lands knew him...As Ozma.

Qrow waved his hand in front of Ozma, only to be ignored. Confirming his invisibility to the events playing out. Ozma confidently walked past Qrow and headed towards the tower.

Jinn: (voice) Unlike those who had come before, this warrior was not driven by the prize of the young maiden's hand.

Ozma walked past the images of other soldiers and warriors falling to the ground and fading into smoke, while the sound of clashing steel raged on around him. But he never flinched or noticed the other illusions, just moving to the tower.

Jinn: (voice) He fought only for righteousness. And his pure heart and courageous soul prevailed.

Shirou flinched and stared at the legendary continue to walk. The red hair looked into the warrior's eyes, showing exactly what Jinn said; courage, justice and determination.

The smoke appeared again, revealing Ozma battling a knight in black armour with his magical staff. Defeating the knight, Ozma opens the door to Salem's room.

The trapped woman, was overjoyed and surprised at Ozma's arrival but soon joined him in their escape.

Jinn: (voice) They escaped the wretched fortress, and yet something bound them together.

Smoke washed the scene again, changing the scenery to Ozma and Salem, hand in hand, running away from castle. The two stopped to rest, looking at the other passionately.

Jinn: (voice) Ozma had been ready to give his life for justice countless times...But now saw a woman worth saving it for.

Again the Hero of Justice flinched at the parallels between him and the legendary hero. Now focusing on his own path and where it would lead him, using this story as bases of his own.

Jinn: (voice) And Salem, to her surprise. Found her freedom not in the outside world she had yearned for, but in the eyes of a man that had saved her.
