"So let me get this straight." Yang frowns. "Hope is a giant Moth Goddess?"

"From another world." Blake clarifies with skepticism.

"Another reality, but Yes." Ozpin confirms taking a sip of his coffee.

"Sorry if I don't just believe you on this, but do you know how that sounds?" Yang asks.

"I am aware Miss Xiao Long." Ozpin nods. "However if you seek proof you merely need to look to the twin Cosmos standing on my desk."

With that Yang, Blake and Ruby look to the desk to see Sayó and Mei waving with a smile. "You!" Yang shouts. Ruby and Weiss quickly pull Yang back. "Let go of me!"

"Not till you calm down." Weiss says sternly. Yang scoffs and backs up raising her hands causing Ruby and Weiss to let her go. "Now, Ruby, Blake, Yang, meet Sayó and Mei."

Ruby waves. "Hi, uh it's nice to meet you properly this time."

"And we you." The twins say in unison.

"We apologize for your pain yesterday Miss Rose." Sayó frowns.

"Yes. We were unaware of the strain that would be placed upon you by forcing the power of your Silver Eyes to be unlocked." Mei continues.

"It's okay." Ruby smiles. "I'm fine."

Just the the doors open as Qrow enters the room. "I take it that One Way Trip didn't get as messy as planned." He says. Ruby's eyes widened in excitement. It was then that Qrow noticed the girls. "Oz? Are we doing this now?" Qrow questions.

"Unfortunately there isn't much choice." Ozpin says. "Battra is imprisoned temporarily, but Salem will also be hunting young Hope. Especially now."

Qrow sighs in frustration. "How much have you told them?"

"Only about Hope's origins as The Queen Of Monsters." Ozpin explains. "And a brief mention of The Silver Eyes"

"Alright." Qrow nods before walking around to stand beside Ozpin. "Well kids? What's your favorite Fairy Tale?"

"Fairy Tale?" Blake raises a brow in confusion. "What do Fairy Tales have to do with this?"

"Do you wanna explain Oz?" Qrow asks.

"I think it would be better for you to explain." Ozpin states.

"Alright, Well some Legends and Fairy Tales hold more truth to them than you think." Qrow explains. "Even the most ridiculous ones come from somewhere. Some are true like the The Story Of The Season's and others like The Village In The Sea are just that a Fairy Tale."

"Wait, you said the Story Of The Season's was a true story?" Blake questions.

"Nice to see your paying attention." Qrow smirks. "Yeah. Is everyone familiar with the story?" He looks to see the girls even Hope nodding. "Good, I don't have to tell it then. To keep this brief, the world possesses four Maidens who wield tremendous magical power." Weiss and her teammates were dumbfounded by that.

"Wait what?" Weiss asks.

Qrow looks to her. "What? Giant mythical moths from a different reality, and small twin fairy cosmos are fine, but you draw the line at magic? This may come as a shock to you but that little girl of yours has magic two." Qrow takes out a flask from within his coat, uncaps it and takes a quick swig allowing the others to take a moment to process the information.

"Magic?" Ruby mumbles to herself in confusion

Blake stands from her chair. "Professor? I... I don't..." Ozpin looked to her with a calm expression. Rather than ask a question Blake sits back down as Weiss raises her hand slightly.

Ozpin smiles. "Yes Miss Schnee?"

"You said that a Salem was going to start hunting Hope." She says worriedly.

Ozpin nods. "Indeed Miss Schnee, Salem will come for Hope, and likely your team leader Miss Rose."

"Me?" Ruby asks confusedly.

Ozpin nods. "As it is Miss Rose only you and Young Miss Hope can defeat her. You with your Silver Eyes, and Hope with her various magical powers. For now all we can do is prepare you two and help you get prepared for the fights to come. That being said I would advise you not to give up on living your life the way you want. I simply ask you to be a bit more cautious. Understood?"

Ruby nods. "Yes sir."

"Good. Now I suppose we should continue the explanations." Ozpin says earning a nod from Qrow.

In Atlas Pietro chuckles as the little synthetic girl Jet walks around the room fascinated by nearly everything. "Fascinating..." Pietro mumbles to himself. "Jet?" He calls earning the girls attention. "Would you like to see the city?"

Jets deep blue eyes widened with joy upon her lightly freckled face. "Yes please!" She states quickly hugging the man. "Thank you Grandpa."

Pietro laughs. "You are very welcome sweet pea." He says turning his chair the coat rack. "You know. Your mother is supposed to participate in the Vytal Festival soon."

"The Vital Festival?" Jet questions.

Pietro nods while pulling off a large brown coat off the rack. "Yes, it's a festival to celebrate the peace between the four kingdoms. The kingdom of Vacuo which is a desert, Vale where your mother is, Mistral which is... well Mistral, and finally where we are Atlas."

Jet nods, excitedly taking in the information. "So which Kingdom is the best?"

Pietro chuckles. "That is a matter of opinion Jet. A personal choice made by experience of said places."

"Oh..." Jet thinks about this. "Well I like Atlas." She says decidedly as she smiles.

"As do I." Pietro agrees with a smile. He then takes Jet outside to see the city as she smiles with innocence, glee, and curiosity. Pietro then looks to Jet with concern when she stops, standing still with her back straightened. She looks to the sky and reaches her hands up.

"Megami Mosura itsuka otetsudai shimasu! Yakusoku shimasu." Jet says. Pietro frowns. He was unfamiliar with that language though he recognized the similarities to a language spoken in Mistral long ago.

Back at Beacon Ozpin sighs taking a sip from his coffee mug. Qrow and the girls had just left. As he sits there his Scroll rings. He looks to it and sighs once again. It was the Council. He would have to talk to them. Thankfully due to Professor Goodwitch and help from others the city of Vale had been repaired, but the people were still panicked. He answers his scroll projecting the holographic screen to see four councilors. This would not be a fun conversation.
