"Locked away by her cruel father, Salem was a girl who desired but one thing: freedom." Jinn spoke as the image of Salem looked out the window in her tower, humming calmly.

"She lived in a time when kings and their Kingdoms were plentiful, when men and women were capable of greatness, and magic was a gift from the Gods that all could wield"

Salem walked past Ruby with sadness. Ruby watched as the scene transition showed (y/n) next.

Salem sits down and leans against the vanity. She holds her left hand, using her magic; four magical spheres with a magic circle in six basic colors appear over her hand.

"And yet...still she sat in her tower"

(Y/n) watched the colors spin. Beautiful sight. He looked over his shoulder at the hilt of Legacy. Gaining a new Idea.

As Salem looks down, the blue smoke reappears and envelops Salem to the next scene. It reforms the castle Salem resides in

"Until one day...a legendary hero came to brace the challenges within the towers walls" Jinn continue as Blake looked at the big tower now.

A young man in armor and a cape wielding a scepter appears standing proudly in front of the tower. Qrow walks up to him.

"The people of the lands new him as Ozma." Qrow waves his hand in front of Ozma's face, but the latter proceeds forward unfazed, simply phasing through Qrow's hand.

"Unlike those who had come before, this warrior was not driven by the prize of the young maiden's hand. He fought only for righteousness, and his pure heart and courageous soul prevailed."

As Ozma walks up to the tower, other warriors are shown falling in battle. Blue smoke reforms the scene once again, this time showing Ozma using his scepter to strike down a dark-armored figure.

Ozma then opens up a door leading to Salem's room, where she stands up and offers a grateful smile to him. Blue smoke reforms the scene of them battling side by side with their magic powers.

"They escaped the wretched fortress, and yet something bound them together."

Weiss watched as Ozma and Salem fought together.

Smoke reforms the scene showing Ozma and Salem running away from the tower holding hands together. Once at a safe distance, the two stop to catch their breath before looking to each other.

"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."

"So. Where should we go now?" Salem asked "Wherever you'd like" Ozma said as he held his hand out to her.

"The two fell deeply in love, planned adventures around the world, and lived happily ever after."

Smoke envelops the environment around Ozma and Salem as the two hold hands. The two disappear into a bright light of white space.

"Or at least, that's what should have been" Jinn continued.

Smoke then reforms the scene showing Salem kneeling at an unconscious Ozma's bedside. Salem holds Ozma's hand and can be heard sobbing.

"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."

Yang watched as salem sobbed while holding his hand. Ozma's body disappears in smoke as Salem continues sobbing, holding his scepter in her hands. Weiss was behind her watching.
