RWBY

The engines hum softly beneath your feet as you stand aboard the airship, soaring high above the endless emerald forests of Vale. The sleek, metallic interior of the transport vessel vibrates ever so slightly with each shift in altitude, the weight of your journey pressing against your chest. Through the towering glass windows, the sprawling kingdom below stretches far and wide, but your eyes are locked on the distant silhouette of Beacon Academy—your new home, your new beginning.

The massive school stands proudly atop a towering cliffside, its intricate spires gleaming under the midday sun. Even from this distance, you can feel the weight of its history, the legacy of the Huntsmen and Huntresses who came before you. Around you, other students chatter excitedly, some lost in nervous anticipation, others boasting about their skills and dreams. You spot Ruby Rose, the girl with the red cloak, nervously gripping the straps of her case—no doubt holding her weapon, Crescent Rose. Not far away, Weiss Schnee stands with a sharp gaze, scanning the crowd, while Blake Belladonna lingers in the background, quiet and unreadable. And then there’s Yang Xiao Long, radiating confidence with her golden locks bouncing as she talks animatedly.

But this moment isn’t about them—it’s about you.

The speakers crackle to life, and a calm, almost whimsical voice cuts through the air. “Ladies and gentlemen, we will be landing at Beacon Academy shortly. Please ensure all personal belongings are secured. Welcome to your first step toward becoming a Huntsman or Huntress.”

Your heart pounds as the airship begins its descent. This is it. The start of your journey. The moment where you carve your name into the world.

Welcome to Beacon Academy.
