One Of Them

Kuroyuri

Y/N POV

Ruby: "So Maidens, are powerful fighters who don't need Dust to use magic?"

Qrow: "Yep."

Nora: "And there's four?"

Qrow: "Always."

Ren: "Which means when one dies their powers transfer to a woman they cared about?"

Qrow: "Whoever they thought about last, that's the important part. Best case it's someone who we trust. But nevertheless their souls become one in a way."

Ruby: "Why was Tyrian after me?"

Qrow: "It's because of what you did at Beacon. It's like I said, silver eyes are a rare thing to have. And since you have and used them seems to have upset some rather powerful people. Not many know about silver eyes but those that do aren't happy that a pair has emerged."

Jaune: "But what does all this mean?"

Qrow: "The world is really old, old enough to the point people have created dozens of gods. But if you believe old Oz then only two were actually real. They were Light and Darkness. These brothers were in charge of creating and destroying life. But because of their different personalities they often fought. After years of fighting Light proposed they create something together. That creation was humanity. He was given the gift of knowledge to study the world and himself. He was gifted the power to both create and destroy. Finally he was given the gift to choose which path he wanted to take. The path of light or darkness."

Ren: "But what does this have to do with us?"

Qrow: "The gifts man was given, weren't only metaphorical. They each existed in a physical form and each were powerful on their own. But gathered together then you could use them to shape the world in any way you desired. And that's just what our enemy wants to do."

Ruby: "Enemy, you mean Salem?"

Qrow: "Yeah." *stands up* "That'll have to do for story time, you should all get some rest."

I get up and just stare at the moon until it's eventually replaced with the sun. When it is I wake everyone up to find Qrow coughing up a storm. I look under his bandages to see them leaking a purple liquid. I sigh and make him a stretcher; then with Jaune's help we carry him down the road until we spot a road sign.

Ruby: "What's it say?"

Ren: "Our path will take us through the mountains."

Y/N: "He won't make that climb."

Ruby: "What about this place?"

Ren: "That place was destroyed long ago."

Ruby: "But they would've had a doctor right? Maybe we can find some medicine."

Ren: "It's no use, we must push on."

Nora: "We can split up. Ren and I can take the mountains while you guys head into the village. If we don't find anything up there then at least we'll be able to see what the next town will be."

Y/N: "I hate to say it but that seems like the best play."

Jaune: "Just promise you'll look after each other."

Nora: "We always have."

We split up and head into the town. We look around but come up empty handed. We then regroup at the town center to see Ren and Nora running to us. I look at Ren and feel him become filled with fear. I look behind us and see a massive Nuckelavee making its way to us. The others draw their weapons while I transform into an Alpha Beowolf. 

I get on all fours and rush towards the Nuckelavee. I leap onto its back and begin clawing it. It whinnies before trying to buck me off. It manages to do so and I go flying into the dirt. I use my claws to slide to a stop and look up to see the others running around the Nuckelavee. They all start firing at it with the Nuckelavee trying to crush them with its hands.

It manages to grab ahold of Ren's arms; it then gets ready to lift him up when I run past it and cut its arms. It screeches in pain before grabbing my waist and throwing me to the side. I crash through a building and come out the other side landing on my back. I get up and look to see the others rushing back at the Nuckelavee.
