A Fairly Reasonable Crashout (RWBY Adam SI) ch 20 (NEW)

He lay on her couch, sleeping and still. His stomach rose and fell with every breath, his expression a mask of near death. Medea placed a hand on his forehead. Behind her, Sienna and Ashina stood, the former glancing around in awe at the house. Medea clicked her tongue as she withdrew her hand. "He is clearly alive, and breathing."
She glanced over her shoulder, her eyes settled on Sienna. "What happened?"
Sienna and Ashina shared a look before she turned ba...

She yawned.
Medea Argonid sat up with a grunt, scratching the back of her neck with blunt, callused fingertips. Her nails rasped over the sleep-slick stubble along her nape, and the cot beneath her gave a creak like it resented being disturbed. Wood groaned, canvas shifted, and her body—built like...

Weiss struggled.
A cold hall. Even colder eyes bore down upon her. Frost and snow blanketed everything. Once, this place had been warmer, filled with light that twinkled in the eyes of those around her. But that warmth was gone now, replaced by a presence that commanded fear and submission. An icy logic that understood nothing but numbers and profit.
Before her stood a giant statue, carved in the image of greatness but utterly devoid of life. It loomed over her, imposing...

The Chronographia - Basil II, The Victorious
The Emperor Basil allowed a period of respite to settle in the capital and in the wider empire. The Emperor had no desire to follow the mistakes of Maurice who had kept garrisons so far from home after years of campaign, and ordered the garrisons to rest and return home. Rome's enemies had been humbled, broken, and were in awe of the Emperor's power thus he had calculated that there was no need to maint...

Gawain stood motionless, her form as perfect as it had been all those years ago. Her gauntleted hands gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, its tip resting against the cold stone floor. Her gaze remained fixed on the door, unblinking. If she were alive, she might have felt the chill of the night air crawling against her skin.
But she did not feel anything. Because she was a ghost.
So when that arrogant braggart had offered her the chance to walk again, to feel again, s...

The Aegean Sea sparkled with a life that only a few places on earth ever could. In his old life, it already was a natural beauty of great renown. Hundreds of islands to vacation and relax in, the smoothest grains of sand that shone bright with the sun's delight, the waves crashing with relaxing abandon, sent forth with the love of the tides. But here, now, in a world that did not know the Industrial Revolution and its choking wastes of toxic, pluming pollution, that serenity of the ...

The camp was abuzz, whispers exchanged under dark hoods and fast lips. Before, they would have gotten some curious stares, YoRHa androids were still a novelty after all but now, they were practically invisible. 9S and 2B had returned from an escort mission, and in it, had enough materials to get their weapons upgraded. 9S glanced around, his curiosity piqued by the unusual energy in the air.

He has fought hard. But no longer.
Taiga has been put to sleep. I did not leave his side as he went. I was holding him as he went.
On behalf of him, and my family, thank you all for your support. I will mourn for a little, then I will get back to business.

Evening came quickly. Jaune's mind had moved to other things. Before, he would have lazed back, watching videos in Scrolltube, idling away until sleep found him. But now, such activities could not be pursued with the same vigour. He was a Team Leader now, responsible for three exceptional girls who could quite literally kick him into next week without breaking a sweat. Expectations loomed over him like storm clouds, and this was his chance to prove that his heart was steeled and his...

The night ended well. The Emperor even stayed up late to see the party through which was a miracle considering his famous dislike for merriment. Zoe thought that she could sneak away a little, spend some time with her brother. But the damnable man had went off to the Hagia Sophia instead to pray and converse with the Ecumenical Patriarch. That had severely cut back on her plans. It...disheartened Zoe that Constantine would not see her first. But disheartening as it was, she knew the...

Pyrrha was worried.
Jaune had been quiet for most of the afternoon, his face scrunched in deep thought. Likely talking to that Vacuan king inside his brain. Just thinking about it sounded insane. She didn't need to angst too much over the unfortunate entity residing in Jaune's head, though. Settra was an arrogant, imperious braggart who seemed to believe the world revolved around him. Not entirely unwarranted, admittedly. His possession of Jaune during the examination had prov...

Despite the singing, the flowing wine, and the jovial mood in the Gardens, Constantine could not help but stare into his cup. The wine was excellent: a vintage stored deep within the Great Palace's larders, brought out only on the most special of days. Gasps and applause echoed from the guests as jugglers and acrobats performed their feats, while musicians strummed a lively tune for dancers in red to whirl and sway to.
Exarch of Italy.
The words still echoed in his mind...

Constantine dropped the letter on his table.
The Emperor was ordering him to return to Constantinople for three things; a Triumph to commemorate the re-conquests, to intern Otto as a permanent guest in the City, and help plan the direction the West was going to go in.
He had thought that he had run out of things to be awed by but that was clearly not the case. He could distinctively remember the last time a Triumph was held in Constantinople and that was duri...

Liquid drink entered her system. A self-satisfied sigh left Devola's lips as she rested her head against the counter.
The bartender raised an eyebrow, looking at her. He was not human. A great many service workers were androids. "She...she good?"
Popola, seated next to her, held her sister's shoulder and smiled. "Yeah...she does this sometimes."
The bartender shrugged. "As long as she doesn't mess up my bar, she can stay."

People used to say that Atlas's religion was not capitalism but suffering; courtesy of its dreary weather and not really having much to do which in turn made it produce suicidal novelists.

Pyrrha stared, transfixed.
The ancient king glanced down at his form. He looked less human and more like a Djinn, his lower body hidden in a swirl of shifting mist. Yet he was tangible enough. Settra could feel the draft from the open door, taste the air in his lungs. "This is...peculiar," he drawled, inspecting his hands, flexing his fingers with mild amusement. "But it will have to suffice."
"Who...are you?" Pyrrha asked cautiously, her words almost a whisper.

Otto stared at the walls. Five distinct types of stone made up their surface, each likely from a different era. He was certain that the methods used to craft them had long since been lost; a relic of a better time in a better age. How magnificent this place must have been in its prime, vibrant and brimming with the full grandeur of the Empire. This, after all, was the Mausoleum of Hadrian, the final resting place of one of Rome's Five Good Emperors. Even as a tomb, it radiated the m...

Flags flew high from the rafters. Torches burned, not to illuminate the parade grounds, but for the soldiers benefit. The morning was crisp, and cool. They were assembled in ranks, their equipment fresh and their weapons glinting. Ahead of them, the Strategoi, in ceremonial armour. They stood at attention as Constantine rose to the dais, Spears tapped the ground, and fists hit armoured chests as they saw him sit on the raised dais. Many eyes watched them.

Jaune groaned as his eyes fluttered open, the harsh light of the room piercing through his lids. His body felt like it had been trampled by a herd of rampaging cows, every muscle aching, his head pounding with a dull, relentless thrum. He blinked a few times, his vision swimming as he tried to make sense of his surroundings. The sterile white walls, the faint hum of machinery, and the soft beeping of a heart monitor told him everything he needed to know.
He shifted, attemptin...

HistoryEpic - Renovatio Romanorum - ALL PARTS
Renovatio Romanorum. Renewal of the Romans. Such was the policy of Emperor Justinian who ordered for the reconquest of territories lost to Rome since the darkest days of the Empire. He demanded it, and it looked to be successful. Africa was reconquered. Sicily and Italy was made Roman once more. The Eternal City itself was taken, and defended from a Ostrogothic force that tried to take it back. Bu...

They strode across the field, their boots crunching against the dry grass. Ahead, a ruined temple rose from the earth, its stones weathered and cracked by time. Small stands lined the area surrounding the temple, each bearing chess pieces. As the others hurried toward the stands, chattering with excitement, Jaune hung back, his gaze sweeping the horizon, his stance rigid and watchful.
"We are not alone," Jaune whispered, his voice low and steady.

Settra was alive. Truly, gloriously alive.
The wind on his face, the scent of the forest; oak, pine, damp earth. The simple, fleeting pleasures of the mortal world. It was intoxicating. The rush of adrenaline coursing through borrowed veins, the way the heart thundered in his chest like a war drum. Joy burned in his heart, and battle-lust sang in his soul. The Grimm acquiesced, charging with heavy snarls and growls. Settra rushed as well, a blur to mo...
