Rwby Moon Novels & Stories

She stands beside me, her tiny hand gripping mine, her eyes glowing faintly with the same light that dances on the water’s surface. “Who’s here, baby?” I ask, though I already know the answer. “The moon lady,” she says simply, as if it’s the most natural thing in the world. Behind us, Ryland shifts uneasily, his arms crossed over his chest. Silas leans against him, half-asleep, his golden aura flickering weakly. The battle took its toll on all of us, but the twins bore the brunt of it. Their powers, still raw and untamed, drained them in ways I can’t fully understand.

The village buzzes with life. Everywhere I turn, someone is preparing for tonight’s Lunar Eclipse Festival. It’s the most important celebration for Moonlair—a tribute to the Moon Goddess for her guidance and protection. Children race through the village square, their laughter ringing out like bells. The air smells of roasted meats, sweet honeyed bread, and the faint tang of herbs being prepared for the festival offerings.

Run, or prepare for death and destruction. Layla doesn't know any of this, and after the attack a few days ago, I wonder if that is a coincidence or a sign as to what is ahead in our future. I turn to her as she sits here admiring the stars and the night sky. I look around and see the fireflies have stopped doing their dances, the toads have stopped croaking, even the crickets have stopped singing. The wind is too calm, like the calm before the storm. Everything seems to have stopped with bated breath, waiting for the moon's tears to come to an end. I feel tense, unsure, and angry. Why must this happen now? Just when I have found what could possibly be my happiness.

“That means more than I thought it would.” He nodded and stood, brushing invisible dust from his pants. “So… should I expect you back at the training grounds?” I raised an eyebrow. “You’ll get your bruises tomorrow.” Ryan grinned. “That’s more like it. Just enjoy the view for now, moon goddess.” He gave a mock bow and walked off, his golden hair catching the moonlight like fire. I stayed there, watching the butterflies drift over the water, my staff resting against the bench beside me. Tomorrow, I would try again. But for now… the view was enough.

Iris. Lightning. Blinding lightning cracks across the sky, and that’s when I see it. A monstrosity. A towering werewolf, drenched in rain, muscles taut and rippling with barely restrained rage. Each limb looks sculpted for violence. Its fur is slick, dark, and matted from blood and storm. Its breath steams in the cold air. Plumes spiral around its snout. Its eyes, blazing gold. My heart stops. God… I just fell into another creature’s war. All of them, beasts of the moon. Beasts of the night. Oh no!

“The feeling is real!” “Is it?” the voice asked, almost gently. The grey swirled again. Now it showed a possible future, Luca, standing in a beam of pure moonlight in the Sacred Grove but not trapped, he was serene, powerful and his eyes fully silver. The Lunar Omega, was perfected and beside him… nothing…..but just an empty vast space where I should have been. The bond was gone…. In its place, Luca was connected to everything….the trees, the stones, the moon itself. He looked… completely whole and utterly alone.

"Why did she…" "Because of me. Because of what I did to you." My stomach dropped. "What you did to me?" He stood. Paced. Ran a hand through his hair. For the first time since I'd known him, Lucien Blackwood looked uncertain. "The night you came here. The full moon. I wasn't in control. My wolf was too close to the surface and you…" He stopped. "You calmed something I've never been able to control. And when we were together, something happened that I didn't intend."

Pain ripped through my wrist again, brutal and bright. My vision blurred. The ash thinned. Rowan stepped forward, fast. Dax moved to block— Moon-silver snapped through the air and bit into Dax’s shoulder like a snake. The chain wrapped him once, twice, then tightened with a hungry hum. Dax grunted, teeth bared, gold eyes flaring. Rowan’s voice stayed calm. “Rogues don’t get to touch what belongs to the pack.” Dax’s knees dipped as if the chain was crushing him from the inside.

Ryn asked back, seemingly reluctant to answer Judith's question. Judith, however, took the question as confirmation that Ryn and Albert had indeed had sex. She smiled and said, "It's a bit vulgar, but you can tell the location of the Moonlight Falls when you have sex." "What?" Suddenly, Ryn's mouth gaped with perfectly widened eyes. "This is ridiculous! Are you trying to set me up?" she asked, looking at Judith with suspiciously narrowed eyes. "No, dear. I'm not setting you up. I know it's ridiculous, but that's how it is. And ...." Judith paused while expressing like she had an important note to make. "You must have sex on the full moon in wolf form," Judith continued.

We turn at the same time to see Luka stepping out from the forest, his gold-tinted curls blowing about his face, his brown eyes wide with wonder at the sight of the river. He walks past, still not seeing us. Darius and I look at each other, then scramble up to follow him. Luka stops at the top of the river embankment. He passes his hand over his eyes. When he drops his hand again, he opens his eyes and they are a milky grey colour. The glow disappears from the sky and in the darkness a full moon rises. Not just any moon. I recognize this moon. So pale, so clear, it appears as if behind a layer of ice. The first full moon of the new year. The Wolf Moon.
