The Great War of Remnant (Book 1)

Pawns of war (Edited)

Third person POV

Professor Goodwitch walks up to Professor Ozpin holding a tablet to inform him of the students progress.

Glynda: Our last pair has been formed, sir. Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren. Poor boy. I can't possibly imagine those two getting along.

She taps a button on her scroll, changing to a view of Jaune and Pyrrha.

Glynda: Still, he's better off than miss Nikkos.
Ozpin: Hm.
Glynda: I don't care what his transcripts say, that Jaune fellow is not ready for this level of combat.
Ozpin: And the extra-terrestrial veterans?

Goodwitch taps her scroll again, showing two views. One of Alex and Arthur, the other of Richard and John.

Glynda: They were together for a brief moment, then got separated due to a large pack of beowulves.
Ozpin: Hm.
Glynda: Though, it appears that Mr. Morrigan was injured when they met up with Ms. Nikkos and Arc. Ms. Nikkos tried to heal him by activating his aura, but in the process-
Ozpin: She accidentally accessed their memories.
Glynda: Yes.
Ozpin: Someone was bound to have found out eventually.
Glynda: I suppose. In any case, at the current pace of each pair, they should reach the temple within just a few moments. Speaking of which, what did you use as relics this year?

Professor Ozpin gives no response.

Glynda: Professor Ozpin?

Again, no response, as Professor Ozpin was pre-occupied by the current state of the pair on his scroll, Weiss and Ruby, who were bickering at the moment.

Yang POV

Blake and I walk up to the temple ruins and look at a circle of...

Blake: Chess pieces?
Me: Some of them are missing. Looks like we weren't the first ones here.
Blake: Well, I guess we should pick one.

I look over and pick up a knight piece.

Me: How bout a cute little pony?

Blake rolls her eyes.

Blake: sure.
Me: That wasn't too hard.
Blake: Well, it's not like this place is hard to find.

Suddenly we hear a feminine scream come from the distance.

Me: Some girl's in trouble!

I turn over to Blake, who's staring at the sky.

Me: Blake, did you hear that?!

I look up at whatever it is that she's looking at, which is... my sister falling from the sky?!

Ruby: HEADS UUUUUPPPP!!!

She's suddenly intercepted by Jaunes flailing body, which comes out of nowhere.

Blake: Did your sister just fall out of the sky?
Me: I-

Suddenly an Ursa bursts out of the woods with a... girl riding on its back?! When she falls off, a boy appears from behind it. The girl is suddenly behind us and picks up a rook piece.

Girl: I'm queen of the castle, I'm queen of the castle!
Boy: NORA!!!

She skips past us.

Nora: Coming, Ren!
Blake: Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?
Me: I-

Suddenly Pyrrha, Alex, and Arthur pop out of the woods... WITH A DEATHSTALKER ON THEIR TAIL?!
