Around a campfire, Ruby, Quill, Jane, Ren, Snow and Nora sit on four logs positioned in a square. Quill has just finished telling the story of the Maidens. Snow looks at Quill and gives an inner giggle remembering how they were created, she had so much fun doing that when Drago was to busy creating something else. She smiles at the story while she looks at the rest seeing their reaction, it was dead silent while Quill took a swig from her flask. Snow had bandaged her up so there was a bandage wrapped around her abdomen over her clothing.

Quill: Really? No questions?

Jane: Of course we have questions. This is just... a lot to take in.

Quill: Sure, of course.

Ruby: So these... Maidens... They're powerful fighters that don't need Dust to use magic.

Quill: Yeah.

Nora: And there are four of them?

Quill: Yup. Always.

Snow looks at the conversation going on making her smile a little being happy that her creation got known so much in this dimension.

Ren: Which means that, whenever one of them dies, the power transfers to someone - a female - that they cared about?

Quill: Whoever was in their thoughts last. Important distinction. The best option is someone we can trust. Regardless, their souls become combined, in a way.

Jane: And that's what you were trying to do to Pyrrha... the night the tower fell. You were trying to turn her into one of them.

Quill: The previous Fall Maiden, Amber, had been attacked. She was young, inexperienced. And her assailant, who we now know is Cinder, somehow managed to steal some of her power, but not all of it. We were afraid that if we didn't do something, the rest would go to her as well.

Jane: So you forced it on Pyrrha.

Quill: We didn't force anything. We explained the situation and gave her the choice, and she chose. You were there, you heard her.

Jane hangs her head for a brief moment before getting up and walking several feet away from the group. Quill watches her go. Snow stands up and walks after Jane with a small smile on her face.

Ruby: That guy, Tyrian - why was he after me?

Quill: Well, you definitely painted a target on your back with what you did at Beacon. I told you having silver eyes is a rare trait. And the fact that you were able to use them seems to have upset some very powerful people. Not many people know about the silver eyes. Those that do aren't very happy that one has surfaced. That's why I've been keeping an eye on you in order to make sure you were safe. All of you. I also had snow with you guys to keep on eye on you but for some reason, she wasn't there when he attacked only when needed. You could have been attacked earlier but Snow and we took care of them before they could get close to you.
