DISCLAIMER: RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth.

A/N: Lines from the s3 finale have been paraphrased/misquoted between stanzas of the poem, which is partly for stylistic reasons and partly because I didn't want to have my heart ripped out again to find out if I was misremembering the dialogue.

~ Ashes Fall ~

Blood rains down
Screams rise, ashes fall
The tower resides
Above it all

Save Pyrrha. She's at the top of the tower. She went to fight that woman.

Hearts entwined
And torn apart
The lovers divided
As the firestorm starts

Where are you, Jaune?

I don't matter! SAVE HER.

The fool should know
Better than to strike
Down a willful
And willing sacrifice

I'm sorry you were promised a power that was never rightfully yours. You know you can't win, and still you fight?

Do you believe in destiny?

Yes.

The world inverted
Lava flows, once molten
Cool and harden into obsidian
What will he harden into?

Let's go.
