RWBY: Remnants of the Forgotten World

An: I swear. This chapter hates me. Apologies for the late update; the exposition of this chapter was difficult to write. I apologize if it's pretty weak as well, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

Chapter 3-Answers within the Tomb

Emerald Forest; makeshift base

It had taken little less than an hour for Ozpin and a squad of Huntsmen and Huntresses to reach Dr. Oobleck's location, and thirty minutes to set up the base.

For Bartholomew Oobleck, it was too long. Ruby was now missing for an hour and thirty minutes. There was no telling how much danger she was in right now! However, objectively he knew this was the best they could accomplish, so he, reluctantly, kept his annoyance in check.

Currently, he was standing next to Professor Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch as the remainder of team RWBY stood behind them, with Ruby's sister Yang pacing angrily. Oobleck had just finished explaining what had happened to Ozpin and Glynda. Ozpin and sighed tiredly and nodded.

"I see," he said after the explanation. "This is indeed very strange."

"Strange?! Strange?! My sister's missing, possibly hurt or worse, and all you can say about this whole fucking thing is STRANGE?!" Yang raved, turning her currently ruby eyes towards her teachers in fury.

"Watch your language, young lady!" Glynda hissed, matching the young woman's glare with her own. Yang tried to stare down her teacher, but it didn't do any good. She turned away from Glynda and gritted her teeth in rage. The combat teacher turned back to Ozpin and said, "Have we been able to establish connection with Miss Rose yet?" The headmaster shook his head.

"I'm afraid not," he answered. "She must be too far underground for any signal to reach her."

"Then we must form a team to go and retrieve her!" Oobleck said swiftly.

"And risk more of the hole collapsing?" Glynda asked tensely.

"It's a risk I'm willing to take!"

"Let's think this through first," Ozpin said calmly. "First, I have to ask: are you sure Miss Rose used her name in this trance?"

"Yes, sir. It was clear as day," Oobleck confirmed with a nod. "Not only that, she translated the whole segment of the obelisk as if she was reading Vytalian."

That worried Ozpin a bit. Being as old as he was, he knew of only a few things that could cause someone to go into a trance like the one Bartholomew described. And almost all of them existed before the God of Darkness destroyed humanity the first time. If Ruby and Oobleck were really studying the ruins of one of those civilizations, he dreaded to think about what the young Rose was suffering at the moment.

"What did it say?" he asked.

"The era of magic has ended," Oobleck recited. "The era of the broken moon reaches its final hour. Now a new era must arise, else our world end once more. Arise, one chosen to be guardian of the world: Ruby Rose. In that exact wording."

Ozpin was sure his blood froze in his veins at the message. That was FAR too foreboding for his liking. But before he could do anything else, Weiss Schnee spoke up.

"Who would go through such an elaborate plot to get at Ruby?" she asked. "She doesn't have any enemies apart from a few arrogant students here at Beacon!"

That wasn't strictly true, considering what he knew. But even he would admit, this wasn't any plan of hers. It left far too many variables unaccounted for. Too many loose ends that could be exploited.

Still, that forced Ozpin to think on who would want Ruby. And if it was an old kingdom, which one?

And that was the problem. Given the structure of the statement, he wasn't sure which it could be. Especially since magic didn't exist in the same way now as it did before humanity's first death. He was just as clueless as everyone else.

"We can worry about that after we find Miss Rose!" Oobleck said.

"I'm telling you, Bartholomew, we need to stabilize the crater first!" Glynda hissed. "It won't do any good if we end up trapping ourselves down there with her!"

"The sinkhole is big enough we can head down the center in a small airship!" Oobleck countered. "The edges can be worked on while the team heads down in the safety of the center where we are least likely to in another cave-in!"

"But what about the bottom of the hole, Barty?! What if it's smaller than you're thinking and the team gets caught at the bottom in the event of a cave-in?!" Glynda snapped back.

"We have to take that risk!"

"No risk is worth taking if it gets us all killed!"

"Enough you two," Ozpin said, gaining their attention. "We don't have time to waste on arguing here. Miss Rose is in trouble, and we need to form a plan of action that ensures the safety of us all, while allowing us to move to Miss Rose's rescue as quickly as possible. Understand?"

"Yes, of course!" Glynda agreed.

"Absolutely, Ozpin!" Oobleck nodded in affirmation. The headmaster nodded firmly.

"Good. Now let's go find us a pilot and get his opinion on the matter," Ozpin said. "With some luck, we can get this operation starting soon." He turned to walk outside of the tent but before he could, Weiss spoke up.

"I just don't understand," Weiss commented idly. Ozpin turned to her motioned for her to continue. Weiss did so without hesitation. "Why was Ruby out there in the first place? Despite a few bad grades here and there and being two years younger than the rest of us, she's still one of the top students in our year. Why was she taking an extra-curricular this late in the semester?"

"That is a good point," Blake mused. "Come to think of it, she takes a lot of those extra-curriculars."

Ozpin bit back a sigh. He had expected them to wonder that. He contemplated on telling them the reason, but he shook his head. No. If Ruby hadn't told them, there was bound to be a good reason behind it. And he was sure he knew what the reason was.

However, it appeared the guilt at failing Ruby was affecting Oobleck more than he thought, because the hyperactive teacher turned to the three and leveled a glare at them. The three girls shifted uncomfortably at the gaze of their history teacher.

"You want to know the reason?" he said lowly. "It's because of your three!"

"Bartholomew!" Glynda reprimanded, but it didn't do any good. Yang, however, felt her anger rise.

"Us?!" she shouted, about to go on a rant, but Oobleck spoke up again.

"YES!" he shouted back, making Yang flinch. "You three are the most rambunctious team in your year that includes team CRDL! You three should have been punished more than you have, but you should be thankful that Miss Rose is far too kind for her own good!"

"Wait…what are you talking about?!" Weiss asked in confusion. Ozpin sighed and turned to them.

"Have you three ever wondered," he began, "when you were caught breaking the rules, you got off rather light?"

"Ozpin!" Glynda shouted incredulously. The rest of team RWBY, however, thought about what Ozpin had said.

"What?" Yang's temper had abated enough that her red eyes faded back to lilac as she looked at her headmaster in confusion. "I thought all that stuff didn't warrant a more severe punishment."

"It did confuse me why Beacon seemed so lax in its disciplinary system," Weiss mumbled, thinking hard about what he had said.

"Why are you bringing this up?" Blake asked with narrowed eyes. Ozpin didn't blink as he turned a blank stare at the three.

"Beacon has a long-standing tradition," he started. "One that has been around for years now. We encourage the team leaders to handle the punishments of team members that violate school rules."

"Ok? So, what's this have to do with Ruby being out here because of us?" Yang asked, still not getting it.

"Normally," Ozpin continued, "the leader would assign a punishment to the offender in their team, what we the staff call an 'extra-curricular,' in order to train them with dealing with insubordination in the future."

Yang was still lost, but Weiss gasped in realization. "But, Ruby…!" she exclaimed but found she couldn't finish her sentence. Yang turned to her teammate.

"What?! Ruby what?!" she asked, turning between Weiss and Blake, who started to understand herself.

"Ruby took our punishments for herself," she mumbled, stunning Yang.

"But…but…"

"Miss Rose obviously has a good reason for what she did," Ozpin placated gently. "But right now, we need to worry about her reasons after we save her."

"Why shouldn't we now?!" Yang asked angrily, her eyes turning red again.

"Because if we can't save Miss Rose now, you won't be able to ask her about it later," Ozpin said before Yang could continue. The blonde brawler stopped short at that. She ground her teeth together and turned away from the others, flicks of embers falling from her blonde hair. The headmaster of Beacon sighed and called out, "I'll be back in a moment."

With that, he left the tent, intent on seeking the pilot he was needing as his mind mulled over the numerous questions he had.

Meanwhile

A sharp pain drew Ruby to consciousness. She whimpered at the pain as her eyes fluttered behind her eyelids. She cried more as the pain increased in her left eye. She tried to open her eyes, but the pain in her left prevented her from doing so.

Instead, she focused on her right, which opened blearily. Everything looked grey and blocky as her vision attempted to right itself. She whined a bit as she tried to move her arms, only to find them feeling extremely heavy.

She groaned as she forced her arms up and to push her off the ground. Her arms shook at the pressure, and Ruby found herself kissing the ground again as they gave out. She whined a bit against the floor.

Her vision started clearing up. She looked up as the grey splotches turned into stony brown and a spectral light shining against the walls. Ruby frowned at the unnatural way the light flickered against the walls. She focused on her other senses. Her hearing, in particular, caught gentle splashing.

So, the light was reflecting off a pool of water? Ok. That's a thing.

Again, Ruby placed her hands on the ground and groaned as she pushed herself off the ground enough for her to drag her legs under her. She slowly sat up on her legs and looked around. The darkened room was illuminated by a light source behind her; clearly from her crash landing. It was a fairly large and rounded room, nearly double the size of Beacon's auditorium/combat classroom.

In the center was a massive spire of stone with an orb of blue glass on top. Peculiarly, an antique workbench sat at one side of the room with a several scattered items across its face. Two large, double doors of stone loomed menacingly center of the far wall. The walls were littered with hieroglyphs, some Ruby could make out, others were some she had never seen before.

She stared around the room for a brief moment before she tried to open her left eye again. Sharp pain shot through her again, but she gritted her teeth against the pain and forced her eyelid up. It was difficult to keep open, and everything was blurry on her left side.

Groaning, she turned around, noting her left eye was clearing up, and caught sight of the massive silver box she landed on; and with a start, she noticed it wasn't just some ordinary box…

It was a coffin.

She squeaked in fear and tried to scurry away from it, but as she started to crawl away, the lights, even the light streaming from the hole she made, dimmed. The coffin glowed silver, making Ruby gasp as the light blinded her for a moment. The wind rushed around her, despite there being no breeze in the room. The light dimmed, and Ruby opened her eyes to again, but this time she gasped in shock at the sight before her.

Standing before the coffin was a young woman, maybe just a few years older than Ruby herself, with long black hair and blue eyes. Her robes were a sky blue with indigo stars adorning the fabric, and her face was set with a forlorn expression. All in all, she was very beautiful.

The only problem was that she was translucent.

Ruby gaped at the visage of the woman, unsure if she should move or speak until the woman looked at her and smiled sadly.

"Greetings, and salutations, Ruby Rose."

The words startled Ruby again. The woman's mouth didn't move, but Ruby heard her clearly. The red-black haired teen struggled to find her voice. "W-What…" Her voice was thick, raspy from screaming in pain. Her throat hurt as she talked. "Wh-What are you…?" The spectral figure raised a pale hand to her unmoving lips as giggling resounded through the room.

"Do not be afraid, Ruby Rose. I have no intention to harm you," she said. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Aurora. And I am the princess of the Kingdom of Temne Svetlo. Or…I was." Ruby stiffly made her way to her feet as the being continued speaking. "Now my kingdom is nothing more than a decrepit shell of its former glory."

"W-What happened…?" Ruby asked, looking around what she now knew to be a tomb. Aurora shook her head in sorrow.

"What happens to all kingdoms that are not cared for," she said. The ghost princess didn't have to elaborate further. Ruby could already tell.

"Grimm," she said.

"The ravages of time," Aurora told her, confusing Ruby. "True, the Grimm were a problem, but my kingdom had certain protections from them. It was time that was the ultimate enemy of my kingdom, and no one to maintain the upkeep of it."

"I…I don't understand…"

"You will know soon, Ruby Rose, I assure you," the princess said. "But I am afraid I do not have much time left. Your entry to my resting place has caused me to wake far too soon, and I must explain how you came to this castle."

Ruby leaned back at that. "You had something to do with that…?" she breathed disbelievingly. Aurora nodded.

"I did," she confirmed. "To know why, we must go back…" Suddenly, the room began vanishing into a multitude of colors. Ruby squeaked out loud as she turned in place, watching as the floor vanished and replaced with a visage of the castle she saw outside, not withered by time and looking as pristine as the when the stones were first laid.

The silver eyed teen gasped in wonder at the sight. Aurora continued her explanation. "…To when the world was whole. Back when magic was more than a mere fairy tale." The castle vanished to reveal a lavish throne room. A large bear of a man with a wild black beard sat on the throne as a blonde-haired woman in a princess-like dress walked up to him.

"One day, a woman by the name of Salem approached my father, the king," Aurora stated, but Ruby couldn't see her. "She claimed to have stolen immortality from the gods and was offering my father the chance to obtain the same ability should he help her kill the gods of light and darkness."

Ruby watched in horrified silence as the king, Aurora's father, charge the woman, Salem, with a large battle axe and cut her in half, only for a golden light to stitch the blonde back together. Others tried their hands and failed in the same manner as their king. The scene changed to show a large group of people cheering for Salem, who stood amongst them, looking smug.

"This…was where it began," Aurora said darkly. Ruby turned back to her. "Many years before this, I gained the ability to look into the future. It was a power that made me loved among my people. But it caused me nothing but grief. It placed a great mental and physical strain upon me, and I could not control it. I tell you this because upon meeting this woman myself, my power activated and showed me a grave future…"

The scene changed again and showed a battle. Well, not really a battle; more like a massacre as two large dragons (one golden with antlers and the other was purple with traditional dragon horns) stared them down. The warriors shot all manners of lights at the dragons, but the purple one…somehow dragged them to its claws and formed a ball and crush it, causing a bright light to fly from it. Ruby shielded her eyes from the light, but as it died down and she lowered her arms, she gasped.

All the warriors, and everyone else in the world (how did she know that?!) were gone, turned to ash. Only the blonde woman remained. Then the purple dragon turned into a pillar of purple light and destroyed the moon! Ruby felt her knees shake.

"I know you are conflicted; thinking this is some elaborate prank, yet at the same time your soul is accepting the truth of your world's dark past," Aurora spoke, startling Ruby. "But rest assured, Ruby Rose, what I tell you is the truth. Once upon a time, magic was real, and thanks to the actions of one woman, the whole of humanity was killed off."

Ruby wasn't sure why, but she knew the ghost beside her was telling her the truth. "B-But…h-h-how…" She shook her head furiously. "How can any of that be possible?!" she raved, swinging her arms wildly. Her eyes stung for a moment, and Aurora winced for a moment. But Ruby didn't stop. "How can magic be real?! And if humanity died because of that Salem woman, how are we still here now?!"

"Anwar and Asmodeus, the ones you would call the gods of light and darkness, remade humanity after Salem's failed attempt to destroy them. A 'second chance,' I suppose. I know not the reason behind this, but it hardly matters at this moment."

"How can this not matter?!"

"Because what matters is that I foresaw our destruction, and took measures to prevent it," Aurora answered. "I refused to let the innocents of my kingdom suffer because of that woman's hatred. I tried to inform my father, but he refused to harken to my voice, believing they had a chance to live forever. Salem's honeyed words corrupted his rational mind and eroded his sense of reason.

"Luckily, I did find individuals that believed my prediction and swore allegiance to me and offered their aid in saving the people of our world from the coming destruction," Aurora continued, and the vision changed to show Aurora conversing with a knight, and several other different people. Ruby watched as the group worked behind their king and queen's back.

"It was a daunting task, but we found a way to preserve our people from their doom. We found a way to…'transfer' the souls of people into containers of sorts that we scattered around our separate kingdoms," Aurora said as the vision showed men and women making…

"Glass?" Ruby asked, her eyes widening as several large orbs of glass were being placed around the kingdom of Temne Svetlo. The princess nodded.

"Indeed. A most arduous undertaking, it was," Aurora commented. Ruby wasn't listening as she recalled the large green orbs she saw and the one she…landed…on…!

"Ahh!" Ruby screamed and grabbed her head. "If what you said is true, then what happens if you…break one…?!" she asked in fear. Aurora smiled at her.

"No worries, Ruby Rose, because upon their destruction, the collected souls are transferred to temporary bodies of metal and stone to protect them until a more permanent solution," Aurora explained. Ruby looked to Aurora and frowned.

"Bodies of metal and stone?" she questioned, as her face drained of color. "The golems…? B-But…that would mean…?" Aurora saw her horror and was confused. "T-That would mean I k-killed people…"

The spectral princess sighed. "What happened, Ruby Rose?"

"T…They attacked me," she admitted. "I…I thought they were just golems…" Aurora looked pained.

"They attacked you? Why would they…Could they have been driven mad by the Reawakening? I was sure it was safe for them…" Aurora mused quietly, looking disheartened.

Ruby could feel her anguish. Though she was having trouble believing this was real, Ruby was certain if it was, she would have been beating herself up if her plans to save people hurt them in the end. Ruby took a hesitant step forward.

"H-Hey…uh…Princess Aurora…?" she called out, gaining the girl's attention. "I-It's ok…" she muttered quietly. "S-Things happen." Ruby swallowed the excess saliva in her mouth. "You couldn't have known…"

Aurora looked at Ruby in melancholy. "But will you be ok, Ruby Rose?" she asked. Ruby nodded shakily.

"Y-Yeah! Totally!" She wasn't really, but Ruby intended to get better. She was a Huntress, after all. She knew she would be expected to do things like this.

Aurora nodded and turned to her coffin. "After that was settled, I began attempting to harness my power to see the future," she said. "I knew thanks to my vision that woman would survive, and I could not let her destroy humanity again. I tried to force my powers to show me people who could stop her in a distant future from my time.

"It was difficult, and the strain of forcing my power to work in such a way deteriorated my health." Ruby held on to her every word at this point, interested in spite of her disbelief. "But, every person I saw could not meet the standards we would need to stand up to Salem. Then my visions showed me you, Ruby Rose," she continued on. That startled Ruby out of her trance.

"H-Huh?!"

"Out of the many people I was able to see over many possible futures, you stood out the most," Aurora explained. "You are pure of heart, courageous, and selfless to a fault. I felt you could do what I could not, so after I decided to place my trust in a girl who wouldn't be born for many millennia, the group I formed and myself, worked on preserving myself and setting up the way to meet you, Ruby Rose.

"This sarcophagus has kept me locked outside of this sphere of reality, waiting for the day you would arrive so that we may converse," the princess of Temne Svetlo finished. "Sadly, it would seem fate had different plans than I. I had the route planned out for you to enter my tomb from the entrance. But, you found yourself crashing through the roof onto my sarcophagus. The Active Magic used to keep me alive flared and entered into you. But your body began rejecting the magic. Luckily, this awoke me, and I did my best to save you, but I could only isolate the magic into a single point."

"A…A single point…?" Ruby asked. A distraught look appeared on Aurora's face.

"Look," the princess said, motioning towards the pool. Ruby was confused, but otherwise she did as she was asked and walked stiffly over to the pool. When she leaned over to gaze at her reflection, she gasped loudly.

Her right eye was as she remembered, bright silver and white sclera; but her left was totally different. The white of her left eye was solid black, and the iris was shiny gold. She spluttered incoherently as Aurora spoke up again.

"I discovered you had a great amount of magic power centered…in your eyes," she explained. "I did not wish to have you die, so to save your life, I took the magic entering your body and sealed it in your left eye."

Desperately, Ruby reached for her Scroll and opened the camera. Switching to show her face, she stared down at the screen to see her black and gold left eye staring back at her with surprise and disbelief.

Weirdly enough, seeing her left eye different from her right made the possibility of magic seem totally real now. The feeling akin to a lead ball dropped into her stomach, making her feel queasy. She groaned.

"I don't feel so good," she mumbled and fell to her knees.

"Ruby Rose, I…" Aurora tried to say something, but she fell short. She tried to place her hand on Ruby's shoulder, but once again, she fell short, simply letting her hand fall down. She simply stared down at the distraught teen with melancholy.

Ruby simply stared down at her new golden eye. She continued to think on what she just learned. Apparently, there was so immortal lady who had caused the death of humanity once before and now was likely trying to do so again? And a super old princess found a way to cheat death just so she could meet her and ask for Ruby's help in stopping her?

The young Huntress-in-training's head spun at this revelation. The fact that her left eye now had super harmful magic locked in it wasn't helping either. She looked around at the circular tomb and at Aurora before turning back to her reflection. Ruby's new heterochronic eyes stared back up at her. Her eyes narrowed.

"That woman, Salem," Ruby said, gaining Aurora's attention. The ghostly princess turned to Ruby, a curious look on her face. Ruby didn't turn to her as she continued, "She's still alive, right?" Aurora sighed.

"Yes. I'm afraid so," Aurora said. Ruby turned to her with a determined look on her face.

"Is she still a threat, like you said she was back then?"

"I am certain of it."

"Do you have a way to stop her?" she asked.

"I do, and it's in the room with us," Aurora said, turning to her sarcophagus. Ruby turn to it, confused. "This coffin not only is keeping me alive, Ruby Rose. It's proof that we can eventually kill the immortal Salem. With a simple rewriting of the runes on the lid, it can destroy magic, and given time, should we seal Salem into this coffin, it will slowly begin destroying whatever magic is keeping her from dying. It is…not the immediate solution I would wish for, but it will do its job admirably."

Ruby stared at the coffin for a few minutes, not speaking as she weighed out her options. Finally, she nodded and stood, turning to Aurora.

"Why can't you do it?" she questioned.

"If I could, I most certainly would," Aurora said. "But my body has been damaged. I have long since been weak in my bones, but Foresight has put much more strain on my body. The coffin is helping reverse some of the damage, but once I wake up, I will still be weak, and not strong enough to stop Salem, and if she's not put in the coffin within twenty-four hours of my awakening, the coffin will be useless.

"Essentially, you are my last hope, Ruby Rose," the princess concluded. Ruby nodded to her. Ruby wouldn't lie to herself: this whole thing was beyond suspicious. But, the silver-eyed huntress felt she could trust the ghost girl in front of her.

She made her decision.

"I'll do it!" she said, to Aurora's shock. "If she's as bad as you're saying, then I can't just turn around and walk away, knowing there's someone like her running around! I'll do whatever it takes to stop her!"

Aurora's face showed her shock. She stared at Ruby's determined face for a moment before she smiled. "Thank you, Ruby Rose," she said softly. "Thank you. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am that you agree with me that Salem must be stopped!"

Ruby gave her a hesitant smile. "Yeah," she said. "So, what do we do first?"

"First, you must go to the temple above this groove," Aurora told her. "I must lull myself back to sleep or else the magic of the coffin will grow unstable and blow up." Ruby was startled by that. "But fret not. I will be able to talk with you some more once you make it to the temple and retrieve a certain item you will need to travel Temne Svetlo safely."

"What kind of item?" Ruby questioned.

"A sigil. One that marks you a citizen of my kingdom, as well as a knight in service to my kingdom. Know this Ruby Rose, should you do this, and obtain that sigil, you will also be my knight, charged with my protection and fulfilling my will."

That gave Ruby pause for a moment, but she steeled herself. "Are you going to go all crazy like that Salem lady?" she asked.

"W-What-NO!" the princess shouted indignantly.

"Then, we're fine!" Ruby told her. Aurora looked at her in confusion.

"Are you truly fine with that, Ruby Rose?" she asked.

"Not…really," Ruby confessed. "But…Salem is the bigger threat. As long as you don't order me to hurt the people I care about or to do something I don't approve of, we're fine." Aurora smiled at that.

"Very well, Ruby Rose," she said. "One last thing: do you see that silver floor stone in front of my coffin?"

Ruby turned back to the sarcophagus and nodded. "Uh, yeah. Why?"

"From what I could discern from Foresight, people of your time are not able to harness magic as they once could," Aurora explained. "That plate will grant you magic; it is my gift to you in order to stand against Salem. Simply step on it, and the magic will do the rest."

Ruby looked excited for a moment, but she hesitated. "It won't hurt, will it?" The princess shook her head.

"Not at all," she assured. "It might actually help you with any lingering pain and fatigue you are feeling."

Still understandably concerned, Ruby nodded and walked cautiously towards the plate. Swallowing her fear, she reached the plate and stepped on it. Instantly, she felt all her pain leave her. She gasped in exhilaration as she felt her strength return. She looked down at her hands, a warm feeling unlike anything she felt before welling through her veins; magic, she quickly deduced. "Whooooaaaaa!" she exclaimed.

"I must return to sleep for the moment, Ruby Rose," Aurora said, gaining the Huntress's attention. "But once you make it to the temple, we will speak again; this, I promise. I apologize, but it would seem that you will have to learn how to utilize your magic on your own for the time being."

Ruby nodded to her. "No worries! I think I can squeak by with just Aura," she assured her. "So, how to I reach that temple thingy?"

"Simply follow the lanterns along the path in front of the crypt," Aurora instructed. Ruby nodded.

"Got it!"

"Then, I wish you good luck, Ruby Rose!" Aurora said as she began to fade away. "OH! Before I go, please take care to avoid Quetzalcoatl until you obtain the sigil!" With that, she faded away, leaving Ruby alone in the tomb.

"W-Wait! Whose Quetzalcoatl?!" Ruby asked, but she didn't get an answer.

An: I hope you guys enjoyed it. I'm sorry if the scene with Ruby and Aurora was terrible. I tried to make it decent, if nothing else.

Temne Svetlo means "Dark Light" in Czech.

I hope you guys liked the name I gave the gods of light and darkness. I figured it would be less of a mouthful than 'gods of light and darkness.'
