I don't know what happened... I stood out before... now even more. I'm Alexa Bowie Fal'catta, this is my story.


Chapter 1: Portal in Waterdeep

"Alixa we just walked by another bar lass! When are we stopping for a drink?" Fargnar complained about the general lack of alcohol, as dwarvs do when they are sober.

"Fargnar..." I held my head in my hands, "we have to meet the nobles sober or we won't get the job."

"Yes that is true my swill chugging vertically challenged friend." said our 7'6 tiffling warlock his red skin glowing with heat, "Alexa I hope you keep your hood up... they don't like drow... especially female drow, they come to accept Drizitt through his actions... you have no holding here... your red hair is the only disguise that you have and it only works at night."

"I know, Tereatoa, I know." I pulled up my coat's hood low over my head hair still spilling out over my shoulders. I was covered from head to toe in armor and clothes to hide my skin color. The hated of my kind isn't without merit drow are typically evil and females are devil spawn of Loth, the damned queen of spiders.

"Yer nothing like yer people lass. And if others can't see that screw then to thee 9 Hells for all we care! 'Re yer with me!" Gravelhammer shouted to the night.

"Oh my dear dwarven friend I know you mean well but we need this job." I said as I playfully tug on his braided beard.

"OOOOOIII! Don't touch me beard!" but his smile said other wise.

Gravel hammer was more of a older brother to me than a friend after all he found me as a child and brought me to his parents who toke pity on the stranded drow child from a forgotten drow house, abandoned in the Underdark...

"Oh Gravelhammer you say that but don't do anything about it." Tereatoa chided.

"Silence or I shall chop you down to my height!" our angry dwarve roared.

"Need I remind you that you use a hammer..." we said said at the same time.

"Whatever... were here anyways." He grumbled his mood spoiled ours as well at the sight of the Banqet mansion.


Our clients weren't as merry as us...and by that I implying that they were stuck up spineless nobles who taxed the poor and collected magic weapons for displays. I hate where the money was in the world.

"Yasss you... adventurers must simply find a lost caachee of powerful magic weapons and other special and your payment will be determined by the length of time it takes you over the 3 day full pay zone, were feeling generous today only 100 gold pieces per sunrise and sunset, any and all gems found are to be turned over to us and half of the coin you find is ours, refuse and you will be hanged." the talking pig of a man (both figuratively and literally) said as he generously slid over the paper contract with his fat fingers. "And should you fail all of your families land and property shall be bequeathed to us, die and well it voids the contract." he proceeded to have his slave hand feed him.

"We are honored by this request my lord Banqet." we said as we had rehearsed. This contract was worse than we expected but our families had land in other kingdoms keeping them safe from this contract.

"And my dear Alexa would you share my bed tonight...it may just I'm prove your end of the bargain?"

"Yer..." I place my hand on Gravelhammer's chest to stop him but it did nothing to calm him.

"My lord I am flattered by the offer but I will require my full energy for the journey."

"I understand that my delicate flower but I still dearly wish for the day we may share that experience." I grimace beneath my hood. "You are said to be the most striking bard in the land."

"It is a shame my lord...we must leave at once to make as much time as possible."

Little did I know that pig was the least of my worries.


"Lass I'm just saying that we should have brained him when we had he chance!" my adoptive brother fumed down the road.

"I agree with him for once... we were scalped and you disgraced." Tereatoa commented muffled nose deep in his book in the back of the cart.

"SEE LASS THE BOOK MURDERER AGREES!" he shouted in disbelief.

"I do not murder books, I read them until no one else can."

"Guys I understand why your angry but we can't just attack every corrupted nobleman we come across." I said as I sat at the reins of our cart,but I was just dishonored and it hurt a lot.

We rode in silence the rest of the night none of us sleeping the rest of the night a constant lookout for threats.


We stopped for a breakfast of stale bread and dried meat and two cups of water. "We'll never make the timeline for the deductions we still have two days and nights before were halfway." I broke the news that we all knew was our fate.

"That pig has never left that comfort shit hole of a home." Fargnar huffed with conviction.

"No he leaves to tax the bars out of business." came the condescending voice of the most enlightened member of our group.

"Even worse!" Gravelhammer belched out

"We have to speed this up... Teleport?" I suggested.

"Last time you dropped us in to a volcano in Chult surrounded by Yuen-ti banging each other in a drunken mass mating ritual of sacrifice and dinosaur meat buffet. No we are not using teleport." Tereatoa snarked

"We made it out alive."

"You almost got a Yuen-ti boyfriend!" They shouted at me.

"Billy was nice he didn't agree with his people and I can respect that. Besides he's happily undoing Yuen-ti curses for the people of Chult." I reasoned.

"And the time before that lass ye landed in Bruernor Battlehammer's lap! Meself landed in the fire! AND TEREATOA WAS STUCK IN THE MITHREL CHANDELIER 300 FEET UP!" He yelled incredulously at me.

"Fine a new spell dimension doorway?" I suggested with a smile on my face.

"It'ed better work or we'll have yer hair bard."

"Aye aye Capt'n Grouchy." I said with a smile and salute.

"I'll show ye grouchy." he grumbled.

I go through the incantations necessary to summon the doorway and it opens before us with a wave of heat."Hmm... must be the plane of fire...still needs work but we should be safe." I assessed.

"Alexa I not sure...?" Tereatoa stepped back "I not sure that's the plane of fire."

"Lass I'm with horns for brains... something isn't right." Capt'n Grouchy grouched.

"It's fine." I say as something grabs me from behind. "What!?" I yell as I'm pulled in breaking my concentration the portal shutting before me. My friends didn't have time to yell before it shut.

I was just dragged into the Nine Hells.

Panic set in before I hit the puddle of blood.

Where am I?

What do I do?

What is out there?

Who grabbed me?

What grabbed me? It wasn't a hand?

I shoot up and groped at my back tearing away a large amount of blood soaked string... no...not string... webbing.

"Your here... my dear..." a woman called out from the mist... where did the mist come from?

"Y.. you don't scare me!" I called back I said as my head swung back and forth then I realized that my hair was fading to white and black at the tips...no don't pay attention to that, it's a illusion.

"My dear drow... you escaped me as a child but your life belongs to me..." spiders flooded out from the fog, they were of every type and size from no bigger than a copper piece to ten feet at least in a loose circle around me.

"My life belongs to no one!" I grabbed my twin sabers and they glowed red with magic "I know who you are LOTH! I am not yours!"

"Oh is that so? That is no way to treat your mother... your father was shocked when he found out who I really was." Loth taunted me

"LIES! The divine never mate with mortals!" I screamed out.

"True..." the spiders split open a path and Loth sauntered down it "... then again I'm not quiet divine in that way. I am one of the Demon Princes."

"No your a liar! Every word you say is venom!" I stepped back wanting to escape... but how? I can't think straight.

"You know it's true my daughter..." her smile was so inviting she looked just like me... "I've been influencing your magic in attempts to bring you to me."

Maybe just maybe sheis... no no no it's not true she's messing with my head block her out! BLOCK HER OUT!

"I can give you power..." she cooed

"P..." I stammered my blades drooping low.

"Yes power..." her eyes glinted with malice.

"Piss off." My voice steeled as my blades came up a sparked against each other as I stopped a giant spider's leg.

"Language..."Loth scolded me as though she really were my mother.

I slammed one blade back in to my sheath and a glowing red dot formed in my hand that rapidly expanded into a fireball engulfing everything.

When the smoke cleared there were no spiders and Loth was stunned. I sheath my second blade clap my hands sucking into a single point in a random teleport with allof my strength and I black out.


I wake up on a mountain top... the air's thin I notice in my stupor... what should I do... it's cold... I need fire... I pass out again.


I wake up next in a bed in a wooden shack.

Not a bed a couch.

I sit up finding my left arm bandaged.

"Hello?" I call out.

There's a lot of banging behind me, I spin around to see three people pile into the room, town human girls and a man that I assumed to be their father... humans...I'm drow...shit.

"Your alive, how are you?" said the smaller sister her bobbed red and black hair framed her pale face and silver eyes. she looked about 15.

"When we first found you we were shocked. You look more Grimm than human but you have a soul." Said the older sister, pale skin blond hair and lavender eyes she looked seventeen.

"What's a Grimm?"

"Young lady where are you from?" The father askedme

"Mythral Hall... but you've never heard of it have you..."my head dipping realizing whats happened.

"Hey whats the matter?" the younger sister came to my side. "What's Mythral hall?"

"My home... but..." I chocked on emotion "I'm no longer on Torial am I?"

"No your on Remnant, how'd you get here? What's Torial? A world without monsters?" The younger sister asked before the father pulled her away.

"What's your name dear?" he asked.

"Alexa... Bowie Fal'catta." I said holding back tear... knowing the truth... "the daughter of the Spider Queen Loth... the Goddess of the drow... I'm the child of a demon."

"What do you mean?"

The basics of my life story spilled out as he and his daughters listened.

"I'm sorry that you had to go through that... Alexa" The older sister said as she wrapped her arms around me.

"What do I do my team needs me...my brothers needs me... but..." I snapped my fingers and only sparks formed... "most of my magic is gone... I can't even form a light source."

"Alexa... your power may only be diminished..."

"Even if I tried to return Loth will just drag me back to her... I'm stuck." I started to cry... tears flowing down my face...

"Hey look here... my name is Tai Xiao Long, these are my daughters Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long... what did you do back home?"

"Hunted monsters and performed music, magic, sword swallowing and fire breathing and eating on street corners, no inn would let me perform inside because of what I am." wiping away tears.

"That's...worlds apart..." Yang said.

"I'm a bard it's what I do..."

"You should go back to sleep... would you like a book about Remnant to read?" Tai asked as he stood up.

"No just rest... let me rest." I was asleep before they were out of the room.


Whooo that was deep! Tell me how I did and should I bring the other two in? Or should they have their own story? Should I write about their adventures before this? Enjoy Team RWBY+A? or B for Bowie? title will be the team.
