“Quick, we can still get to them,” Aang said, sifting through the piles of debris that’d filled the hole. “We need to move all this wood out of the way.”
Taking a deep breath, he threw his hands forward, exhaling deeply as a massive gust of air rushed through the hole, pushing everything back for a moment, only for the hallway to once more seal itself as the debris rushed back.
“No.” Clenching his hands shut, he threw his fist forward, sending a stream of fire and ai...

“Schnee Zero Two, this is Atlas Zero One. Please maintain current altitude and proceed to docking bay one for final approach.”
“Copy that, switching over to auto pilot for final approach,” Winter replied, flipping a few switches overhead. Yawning softly, she undid her seatbelt, before stretching her arms over her head. “We should be arriving soon.”
“So,” I hummed softly. “How did last night go with team RWBY?”
Winter smiled proudly. “It went we...

It was a little while later that I found myself walking down an old dirt road, passing through the village.
Buildings that had been completely destroyed now stood tall, without the slightest bit of decay. Entire houses had seemingly sprouted up throughout the night. Short cobblestone walls lined the old dirt path that led through the village.
There was even a small dock sitting on the river, although there weren’t any boats to be seen... Nor were there any people, or, well, anyt...

Having only been in team RWBY’s dorm a handful of times and even then, only briefly, seeing their room in the light made me realize that it was actually pretty small for a group of four people.
Even with the makeshift bunk beds, the room still felt cluttered. Weiss’ Dust containers were stacked beside and under her bed, books had been shoved pretty much anywhere they could fit, there were some clothes lying about, most looking like they belonged to Yang and Ruby.
“Ah, home s...

It was around noon the next day when the lava had finally cooled enough for the villagers to return to their homes.
Despite the thick layer of ash coating everything and a few scorch marks here and there, the village had almost been completely untouched. Seeing as it’d almost been completely swallowed by the volcano, that was saying something.
“And that should just about do it,” Sokka hummed as he finished tying everything down in Appa’s saddle. “I’d say that I was goi...

“As you can no doubt see behind me, Cyril, the Amity Coliseum has finally finished making its trip from Atlas to Vale, having braved harsh climate and yes, even a Grimm attack. This of course officially signals the start of the 40th Vytal Festival. Already, people have taken to the streets, celebrating the unity of our four Kingdoms.”

Malu had always thought himself pretty lucky with the life he had. Instead of being born into a regular Fire Nation family, he’d been born to one filled with magicians and performers. As a natural performer, it suited him perfectly.
He’d been fairly happy with his lot in life.
Sure it could be fairly dangerous. There was a lot of travelling involved and he’d been forced to hide from the Earth Kingdom soldiers more than a few times, but he’d gladly put up with that if it me...

Sitting at his desk with a steaming cup of cocoa in his hands, Ozpin glanced over the report from Settlers Hill without really taking anything in. He was finding it a little difficult to focus right now, all things considered.
When he’d stepped through Raven’s portal only a few hours earlier, he’d been prepared to see a number of things. One thing, however, that he could never have expected was to see Summer Rose lying in her daughter's grasp with Coal sitting opposite her, exhaus...

Making his way down a dingy dirt road, Zhao paused for the briefest of moments to ensure that his hood was fully raised. Glancing down an alleyway, he let out a short disgusted grunt when he caught a drunk relieving himself on the building.
Things hadn’t been going well for the Commander... In fact, one could almost say that they were going poorly.
It all started when he’d lost his first ship, when it’d been stolen by one of his men. Initially, he thought it was some freak a...

Breathing in a slow, interrupted pattern, Summer’s visible eye was blank and unfocused, leaking black tears. Her other one was covered in a white fleshy substance that engulfed the majority of her face... Although, that was only on the outside.
Inside, however, was a different story. Several of her bones had been shattered, muscles torn, organs shoved to the side to make room for a black and white organ that was pumping a tar-like substance through her body.
Although, the rate a...

Dead leaves and dried twigs crunched underfoot as we walked towards the next village down the side of the mountain, having already flown most of the way on Appa’s back... Not that I particularly minded. In fact, I was eager to burn off some of the excess energy I was feeling.
It seemed that, whatever was in the herbal concoction the gang had been feeding me while I was unconscious agreed with me a little too well. It’s just a pity that there wasn’t enough left for everyone else.

The top of the bell tower had quickly grown silent as Pyrrha and Yang froze, although for different reasons entirely. Likewise, the Grimm that stood in front of them settled for remaining still, taking short, guttural breaths.
Seconds seemed to stretch on forever as the duo remained silent, only for them to suddenly look up as the wooden support beams in the rafters let out a loud crack, bringing them back to reality.
“Mom.” Yang took a cautious step forward. “It’s... It...

Time seemed to stretch on for a moment. The Fire crackled softly, flickering as it fought to hold back the crawling darkness which seemed to grow agitated at the living... Well, dead legend that sat just opposite me.
Roku, for the most part, seemed completely unbothered by his newfound surroundings. Instead, he was content to just... Wait. Whether he was confident in his power, or simply didn’t have to worry because he was already dead, I wasn’t sure.

“I gotta say, I was kind of expecting this place to be a little more run down. Not, well... This.” Looking around the town, Yang whistled. “Be honest, this was just an excuse to take us on a weeklong vacation, wasn’t it?”
Idly humming as I looked around the town, before sending a quick glance Yang’s way. “If I had, I’d probably have taken you all to the beach.”
Not... Well, this town. Although, given that the beach was one stop from here, that wasn’t exactly he...

Hearing the usual sound of birds chirping in the early morning, I turned over with a tired groan, I slung my arm over my eyes, shielding them from the light. With the sun just barely risen over the horizon, it felt like I’d just closed my eyes the night before and suddenly it was morning.
My body felt heavy and fatigued... Likely from all of the stress from the last couple of days. On the upside, I hadn’t had any further nightmares involving that forest.

Leaning against a wall with her arms crossed, Raven did her best to ignore the sterile smell and the soft, rhythmic beeping of a heart rate monitor that sounded next to Qrow’s. The idiot bit off more than he could chew and paid the price for it.
He’d been in pretty critical condition... Worse than some of her former tribe members who’d died to Grimm, although, he had the benefit of a hospital while they were forced to make do with whatever they had available on their person.

Letting out a pained groan, I pushed myself up and slowly opened my eyes, preparing myself for the sudden influx of light, only... It didn’t come. Blinking, I rubbed my eyes tiredly, trying to will the pain in my head away.
The last thing I remembered was sitting on Appa’s back, watching the landscape pass by and then... This.
I couldn’t have slept the entire day away... Could I have? No, that couldn’t be right. Ther...

Sitting in his office, Ozpin hummed softly as he looked over one of his most treasured possessions, a tool that he'd used and steadily improved over several lifetimes. His Long Memory.
Currently, his cane laid scattered atop his desk, reduced to its most basic components... Well, mostly. The gem that stored all of the Kinetic energy he’d stored up over the years was still safely housed in the pommel of his cane.
That, he would have to save for last or risk releasing all of the p...

Holding my arm out, I bit back a wince as Katara pressed some cooling balm against my bicep. A large purple bruise already formed where Koh had bit down. I had a few other wounds, but it was by far the worst one.
“Sorry,” Katara flinched, placing a little more balm on my arm. “I’m almost done… Just bear with me a little longer.”
“Sure… No problem,” I murmured, feeling as if my arm was going to fall off.
It was definitely one of the most unique wound’s I...

Weiss had always thought of herself as fairly composed and even somewhat dignified... Much like her older sister whom she’d partially modelled herself after.
Whatever life threw at her, she took with a smile and a curtsy. That being said, it came as a surprise when she woke up with a pillow under her head... Clutching a toilet of all things!
Knocking the pillow to the side, she sat up, only for the lid to smack against her head, intensifying a headache she’d only just realized...

Despite having spent a significant amount of time going through the Royal Archives for useful information, one thing that I just couldn’t find was information on spirits. Sure there’d been a few scrolls mentioning them, but it was only in passing... Not dissimilar to that of the Avatar whom they’d gone out of their way to vilify.
Most scrolls seemed to refer to them as intelligent animals while some suggested that they should be exterminated immediately.

Feeling something cold slip down my throat, my eyes snapped open. Rolling onto my side, I let out a spluttered cough. A pile of powdery snow crunching under my hand.

It’d been a while since one of Azula’s friends had visited her, let alone at the palace... At least a few months, not that she was keeping count. Without Honō to act as the glue to their little group, they’d simply… Drifted apart. It probably would have been a little earlier if they hadn’t met him.

It’d been fairly quiet, all things considered. A few days had passed since we’d managed to fr...

Standing just out of sight in Beacon’s training hall, Ozpin watched as a sea of reporters flooded in. Under most circumstances, he would have preferred if this was done somewhere else, but, given everything that’d happened in the past few days, he didn’t want to venture too far from his Academy.
It was nonsensical, he knew, especially since it was unlikely that Salem would make another move, but he still felt it necessary. If that meant he’d need to play host to the press for a ...

That one was especially bothersome. It was already bad enough that there was a person in there, but...
