Myths of Remnant, Legends Never Die. (RWBY: Yang x MaleReader)

A Perfect Storm

After the opening, it is daytime at the Branwen Tribe camp. Raven Branwen sits alone in her tent sharpening Omen. Suddenly, Vernal enters.

Vernal gathers her breath before speaking.

"Raven, we have a problem."

Raven looks up, rubbing her bruised face, remembering the last problem.

"What is it?"

Vernal sounds nervous.

"Salem's found us."

Raven's eyes widen briefly.

Raven then nods.

"Salem... okay."

Vernal then gives her the rest of the information.

"Four of her followers are waiting to speak with you."

Raven sighs, standing up.

"Right. We planned for this... Bring me my helmet. Having the first thing they see being my bruised face would not project strength."

Outside of her tent, Cinder Fall, Arthur Watts, Emerald Sustrai, and Mercury Black all stand and wait while the bandits surround them, eyeing them carefully. Raven steps out of her tent with her mask on as she addresses her bandits.

Raven puts on her authoritative voice.

"I don't recall inviting so many guests into our home. Either I'm losing my memory..."

She raises her voice in energy and volume.

"...or you've all lost your spines!"

Cinder's sultry voice speaks out, showing that she had recovered.

"Don't be too upset with them, Raven. Your men simply recognized the power of a Maiden when they saw it."

She smirks as her eye glows and trails fire.

"Which is why we'd like to have a word with you."

Raven turns, addressing the bandits.

"Leave us. Pack your things, then break down camp. We're moving."

The bandits all leave to do so.

Watts smirks.

"Little late to run and hide. You've been on our master's list for some time, so you must understand that we cannot allow you to slip away."

Raven stares at him through her Grimm Mask.

"I know all about your master, but I don't believe we've met."

Mercury speaks out of turn and punches above his weight class.

"We're the guys you should be afraid of."

Raven snorts.

"I doubt anyone should be afraid of you."

She adds something else, thinking only to herself.

"I've seen people who I'm scared of, and you fall so far short of him you two bit assassin."

Mercury's anger got the better of him.

"Oh yeah? Tell that to--"

Cinder turns to Mercury, annoyed.

"Quiet."

Mercury relents.

Raven nods imperiously.

"That's what I thought."
