a white figure stood in front of Ruby, pulsing blue light surrounding it. Then, she was in another place. Everything was a shade of dark blue and other darker colors. She looked around, seeing destruction and rubble all around her.

"Where am I?" She thought out loud.

The white figure appeared out of thin air in front of her, and a woman's voice said, "See for yourself."

Details began to appear on the figure. It was a woman, with short hair like hers. She was wearing some sort of lite armor, with a quiver on her back.

Ruby walked past the woman to look to where she pointed. It was Vale, but it was in ruins, smoke rising from the buildings. Whole buildings and houses were gone, many of which were landmarks to the young girl.

"Vale…" She said, her voice shaking.

Ruby bent over, leaning against a nearby wall.

"What happened to me?" She asked.

"You are banished from death." The woman said, approaching Ruby. "Cast adrift between the worlds of light and dark."

Ruby slowly turned to her.

"A curse binds us together within the walls of Remnant."

"Death?" Ruby asked, her eyes widening.

"Do you not remember?"

"Remember what?!" Ruby stood up straight, a mixture of anger and fear plastered onto her face.

The woman opened her mouth to answer, but before she could, a voice called out, "Ruby!?"

The woman disappeared, and Ruby turned to the source of the voice. The person had not yet come into view, but was getting closer. "Ruby?! Where are you?!"

Ruby didn't call back, but rather hid behind a nearby pillar, watching as the girl the voice belonged to walked into view. It was Yang. She suddenly stopped walking, and her eyes widened. Her eyes filled with tears and she fell onto her knees.

"No…" she whispered.

Ruby followed her gaze, and saw a body, lying on the ground a few feet away from Yang. It was hers. Her throat was slit, and blood was pooling around her.

"Ruby…" Yang said, remorsefully. She leaned forward, supporting the top of her body with her hands, and sobbed.

Yang suddenly screamed in rage, her hair becoming engulfed in flames, and her eyes turning blood red.

Ruby slid down the pillar, feeling the same anguish her sister felt.

"How do we break this curse?" Ruby asked.

The woman reappeared, "We find the one who cast it upon us." She said. "The Dark Lady Salem."

A/N: So, this is the first chapter of a story that I've had in my head for about a week now. Sorry it's so short, it's really just a preview at this point. Anyway. This is the story that I'll be working on until I get every single achievement in Shadow of Mordor and lose interest. Hopefully not, but that's probably what will happen.
