The Child of Omens Part 2: RWBY x Male Reader

Chapter 7: No Place Like Home

Falke wakes up as across from him is Pyrrha sleeping soundly. He looks outside the side window, daylight shining down over a large forest, recognizing the trees as ones that grow in Mistral. He looks back over at Pyrrha, getting up to check to see if she is okay. As he places his hand on her forehead, she leans into the palm of his hand as she has a small smile on her face.

Falke: *Whispering* "Dante, you there?"

Dante: Manifesting himself *Whispering*: "Yeah? What do you need, kiddo?"

Falke: *Whispering*: "How is she doing? Is she alright...mental wise?"

Dante: *Whispering*: "Well, I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty certain she's doing fine. She's just a bit tired...she is dreaming about you, though. So just throwing that out there, don't tell her I told you."

Falke: *Whispering*: "Uhm...thanks. Just keep an eye on her, alright, Dante." Dante nods as he disappears.

Falke gets up, heading towards the cockpit, climbing up a small ladder. He sees Ky piloting the ship; the cockpit is filled with little knick-knacks and trinkets.

Ky: "Oh, hey, man. I thought you'd still be asleep. How's sleeping beauty back there?"

Falke: "She's doing fine. She's just a bit tired at the moment."

Ky: "So what the hell was that back there? I mean, I've seen a lot of shit during my time, but I don't think I have ever seen anything like that. She literally handed ACE ops their asses. You got yourself a pretty powerful girlfriend there."

Falke: "Thanks, I guess. Anyways how's it going on your end?"

Ky: "That little skirmish damaged one of the engines. Hopefully, I could find a place to land to make repairs, but I'm having a bit of trouble."

Falke: "Can you pull up a map of the area?"

Ky pulls up a holographic map of the area around the ship. Falke studies the area and recognizes the area around where they are. Then, zooming out the map, he points out a certain area that shows to be covered in large trees.

Falke: "There'll be a clearing here that you can land at." Pointing out the area to Ky.

Ky: "Not to judge your ability to see, but that's literally just trees."

Falke: "Trust me." Climbing back down the ladder, he sees that Pyrrha is waking up.

Pyrrha: "Good morning. How long have we been flying?"

Falke: "Morning. We've been in the air for a couple of hours now. It looks like we just made it into Mistral. We'll be making a quick stop before we reach the camp for some repairs."

Pyrrha: "Do you know where?"

Falke: "Yeah...home." Taking a seat across from Pyrrha.

Hours pass before Falke sees the all too familiar grass field as Ky lands the ship. Then, opening up the side door, the three of them hop out as they look across the field to see a small cabin.

Ky: "Damn, Falke. It looks like you were right. It shouldn't take me long to make repairs." But Falke doesn't listen as he begins walking towards the cabin. "What's up with him?"

Pyrrha: "I don't know, I'll go check. You focus on repairing your ship." Ky shrugging as she runs to catch up with Falke.

Falke had already made it to the small training pit he and his dad had used to train in when Falke was younger, and he can almost feel the bruises returning as he lets out a small chuckle. Making it to the front door, he hesitates even to knock. But he musters the courage to open the door. Opening it, he sees that the house hasn't changed since he was last here. Picture frames are still in the same spot as they were before; blankets in the living room had barely been moved, but his heart sinks as he notices a big change in the room. After Qrow stopped drinking, he bought a large glass case to hold all of his old alcohol. He said it was to constantly remind himself that he broke that addiction. Falke looked with sadness as the glass case had been emptied and empty bottles had littered the floor around it. In Qrow's depression over losing Falke, he had succumbed to his own demons.
