Before We Get Started:

Though you don't have to read it to be able to understand this story, I have to say that this story is based off of a Webtoon called "Mage and Demon Queen" by Color_LES. You should check it out, it's an amazing story and if you love RWBY, then you'll love it as well! You can tell that the creator's put so much work into their story... Plus, the demon queen from the original story's like, hot as frick, so... that's another good reason to check it out.

This story will be updated once a week on this very day.

Author's Notes:

School's about to start, so I thought it would be a good idea to finally post this. I've had this entire work - which consists of 8-9 chapters - residing in the doc manager for around 200 days, and I wrote it for far longer than that.

Enjoy~

~Queens and Mages~

Chapter I

An Unusual Beginning

At the ripe age of sixteen years old, she'd claimed the demon castle already, defeating the previous queen without dropping any blood nor sweat.

She was Weiss Schnee, a demon with pale skin - flawless if not for the faded scar lining her left eye - and an even paler, pearly white hair, her eyes a piercing blue that was able to make humans quiver with fear. She had an ethereal, indescribable beauty, her horns only serving to accentuate both her magnificence and strength.

And now she sat in the throne, a year later, known for her dark magic and powers beyond anyone had ever accomplished before. She'd accomplished what all demons dreamed, becoming the most powerful, ruthless, and the most feared by all humans and monsters alike.

And she was also very bored.

Humans rarely reached the very top of the tower where she dwelled, and when they did… they didn't pose much of a threat. Not to her.

But life was… good, she supposed.

She had her trusted generals, one of which was Blake Belladonna, the beast that came from shadow. Out of them all, she must say that the cat would be her favorite.

She also had many golds and jewels and all kinds of treasures, enough to ensure the lives of the whole human kingdom.

She had achieved her goal.

She had everything she wanted.

Or… so she thought.

…

The echoing sound of footsteps was what woke her from her slumber.

Blue eyes showed themselves beneath her lids, a wicked smile slowly on her lips when she realized whoever had walked in was not her demon generals. Or even demons at all.

It was a human.

The demon's eyes narrowed, taking in every little single detail of this human.

After all, it wasn't every day that a human managed to defeat every one of her generals and stood in the tallest floor of the old tower.

This human was… a different one.

It was small and hid its frame and potions and weapons and even its face under her large, rose-colored hooded-cloak, strands of dark red hair poking out from it.

The human stopped a few feet from her, and the demon had to take a moment to marvel the aura of power emanating from this human.

Yes…

This would be an enjoyable fight, indeed.

Too bad the human would lose to her, just like all the other humans.

No matter how much strength they possessed, they could never hope to rival her powers.

"Interesting…" she mused, her eyes never leaving this small human as she stood from her throne. "I think you're the youngest human to ever reach the top of the tower."

The cloak shifted as the human's head tilted to the side.

"Well, I'm not that young, I'm almost fifteen…"

Oh.

It was a female.

A rather young female, at that.

Weiss' eyes narrowed.

This girl had potential.

"Very well then, let us get this over with."

The human suddenly threw up her hands and shook them, taking an uneasy step back. "W-wait, but you don't even know why I'm here!"

She merely narrowed her eyes in question.

"Is it not obvious, Child? You wish to take my head and restore balance as well as gain all the gold and glory the humans can offer."

The human panicked even more, shaking her head vehemently and clenching her fists.

"N-no, I don't wanna take off your head, that's wrong."

The demon queen stared.

"... Then why are you here, Child?"

"And can you stop calling me that?" the girl suddenly said, crossing her arms in a seemingly unpleased gesture. "You're only two years older than me."

Her eyes twitched.

She disliked it when others brought up her age. So what if she was only seventeen?! Did that not make her even more dangerous?! To have achieved greatness in such an early age!

She drew in a breath.

There was no use showing her displeasure through words. Rather, she'd simply do it by beating this human to death, just like all the other humans.

"Very well, then, what do you wish to be called? The unbreakable? The almighty?" she said, only half-tauntingly. Humans had this strange affinity towards nicknames - it was as if they disliked their own names. They always came up with such ridiculous names for themselves, thinking it was anything but ridiculous. She couldn't understand why.

"Umm, no, well, unless you want to, in that case it's alright, but-"

"Just tell me your name, human," she snapped.

She hated small talk.

A tiny wave of guilt washed over her when the human flinched.

"... Ruby. Ruby Rose…"

Her voice was small and weak and the general wondered if she truly was a fighter or just a lost girl who happened to be passing by.

"Interesting name, Ruby Rose… Tell me; why are you here?" she asked as she began to walk towards her, stopping only when she could see the girl more clearly.

Those eyes, hidden beneath the shadow, still shone.

It fascinated the demon. She didn't let it show.

Slowly, the human brought her hands up, and, at first, the demon tensed, thinking she was about to cast a spell but forced herself to relax when she realized this human was just reaching out to pull down her hood.

"Well, I'm, umm, I want to challenge you to a battle, and if I win… I…"

The hood fluttered down, revealing the cute face of her opponent, Ruby Rose, who looked determined despite her blush.

"I want you to please be my bride!"

A beat passed.

Weiss' evil brain was still processing what the girl had declared rather boldly.

Another beat passed.

Weiss now fully understood that this human was, indeed, asking for her hand in marriage.

Another beat passed.

And another.

And another.

Before finally…

"WHAT?!"

Author's Notes:

As you can see, I changed a few aspects of the original story to better match Ruby and Weiss' character and so I won't just be plagiarising the original.

The main differences between Malori and Ruby's character traits are that Malori doesn't want to save the world, while Ruby does, and that Malori is confident, and Ruby is, well… Ruby.

I try to use those differences to separate my fanfiction from the actual story because if I copied and pasted every aspect from the original Webtoon, then… I'm a jerk who profits off of people's hard work without having to actually do anything.

The same thing goes for Weiss and Velverosa. Velverosa is, to my knowledge, an experienced combatant who knows how to lead her demons. Meanwhile, Weiss just became the Queen for a year and is 17 years old, just like in the show.

I also changed that mermaid, glasses-wearing lady with Blake because why not?
