Chapter 26: (18) Ozpin’s over 10000 years old?! we learn from John fucking Constantine!!! part 1
Hey guys! So turns out I was stressed over nothing! I didn't think I'd find inspiration so soon, but I decided to say magic comes from the mana of nature and the souls of the deceased(thank you black clover and final fantasy 7), I know that's probably how it was explained in Rwby, but I'm not rewatching the whole series again, one death of Pyrrha is enough thank you.
So I am remaking the origin of magic as well as adding the life stream and death stream (a dark version of the life stream made from the blood of the brother of darkness)
Oh yeah and before I forget here is the updated percentages of the templates.
(Lu bu-9.5%————>22.5%)
(Buddha-3.5%————->15%) (also should I give Shirou the power to project godly weapons?)

"Do you ever wonder where magic comes from?" Ozpin asks as I take a seat across from him, in most games it comes from your mind, in others it's comes from Artifacts, but one stood out most.
"I think magic comes from nature itself." I reply as Ozpin looks at me for a few seconds before taking a sip from his mug, "well you're half right on your answer, but before I explain magic as a whole, I'll tell you about my life." He says as he explains how he was once a wizard 13000 years ago, and one day four maidens appeared before him and asked for his guidance.
"The maidens were prodigious in magic and the reason was because they had access to the life stream, a mystical river of the deceased that was a gift from the brother of light, who represented the good in all of creation, and was what gave the wizard his use of magic." Ozpin explains as I see his eyes seemingly age thousands of year as he take a sip from his mug and continued on.
"The maidens each were proficient in every element, they were the best in one specific element, the youngest was most proficient in fire magic, making even a volcano feel cold by comparison, the second youngest was the best in nature magic, to the point she could hear the voice of remnant, the second oldest was most proficient in wind magic, to the point she made hurricanes when angry, but the oldest…the oldest was terrifyingly good with ice magic, to the point she froze the concept of time." Ozpin paused and looked over and saw me paying attention before finishing his story.
"I was impressed by how proficient the four sister were in their field of magic, so I dubbed them the maidens of summer(fire), spring(nature), fall(wind), and winter(ice/time), and with them I bestowed gifts to them, the crown of choice, the lamp of wisdom, the staff of creation, and finally the sword of destruction." He took a sip as I try my best to absorb what he is saying, but my brain wasn't able to handle it, "please…this is too much for me to take in…please finish the story." I plead as he just nods his head in understanding.
"But all good things had come to an end when the brother of darkness saw what his brother did, he was furious! In a rage he used the sword of destruction and cut hmself, and through that wound he created the death stream, where the Grimm now monsters killed the three sisters and in an act of preserving their power I sacrificed most of my power to have them continuously find a new host to continue on, but when it was only myself and my lover the winter maiden, Salem she got blindsided and was tackled by a Grimm and she lost her winter maiden powers and after sacrifice more of my power I did the same thing like I did with the other three maidens, the brother of light saw what his brother did and was furious, and in a fit of rage he made a wager with his brother, they would pick two champions, one that would unite everyone, and one to destroy it." Ozpin said as I see a tear roll down his pale cheek and with a heavy breath he finished his story.
"The brother agreed and he chose the Salem, and cursed her to be immortal, with her mind corrupted into believing I pushed her in, now she wishes to bring all life to extinction, while the brother of light cursed me to forever reincarnate into a new body every time I die, and soon after the both left, but not without shattering the moon."
I stare at Ozpin in silence, the man was over 10000 years old and was cursed with a fate possibly worse than death, with his once true love believing he betrayed her. He had to deal with all this baggage and I couldn't help but wonder how hasn't he gone insane?
"I-I don't know how to feel about this." I admit as Ozpin gives me a sad yet gentle smile, "it's alright Shirou, I hope that maybe one day I can reconcile with her and finally break our curse, I was even losing hope on if I could even do it, I've died thousands upon thousands of times." He admits as we feel a wind and mom and dad appeared.
"Mr.Ozpin what I surprise." Dad says as he shakes Ozpins head as I head over to Mom and went to ask if I missed anything while I wasn't with them, "oh don't worry sweetie, we talked with Raven about Yang and her roundabout confession, in the end we all agreed to forget about it and move on for the time being." Mom explained as I nod and let my parents talk to Ozpin while I head over to the training room, I never did figure out how the cabin has so much space and knew wher I wanted to go, ive just summed it up to doctor who tardis bullshit.
I enter the room and look over the shelves and I notice something was off, there was a second bookshelf, and this was did have scrolls like the other one, but heavy tomes and books alike, each had unique smells or designs, and one of them in particular caught my eye.
Almost as if drawn to it I pull it off the shelf and the Tome smelled of cigarette smoke and was old looking, ancient even! I turn the book to find the cover name.
The book of John Constantine
———————————————————————————————————
Well guys I finally had inspiration from black clover and final fantasy 7 and chose to overhaul the origins of magic and the bet of the brothers, hopefully you all like this instead of the usual explanation of magic from the other rwby fics.
But yeah his magic teach will be John motherfucking Constantine! Now I don't know much about the ancient magician with a smoking problem, but I'll take suggestions of comics I should read to get an idea, just provide a website or link for me to use.
But should I allow Constantine and by extension the justice league access to remnant now or only allow Constantine and dr.fate?
But with that I hope you all enjoy and I'll see you next week, peace😁✌️
