"So, what's the truth?" Yang asked

You reached for a cup of tea.

"Why can't you be more like Y/N and actually have the tea? It's better when it's hot."

"You know you're really obnoxious." Weiss said

"The truth is that truth is hard to come by. A story of victory for one person was a story of defeat for someone else. By now your uncle has surely told Ruby and your friends plenty of stories."

"Well, he's never given me a reason to doubt him before." Yang said

"That doesn't mean those reasons don't exist."

Yang narrowed her eyes at her mother.

"You know you and your teammates might as well be the poster children for the huntsmen academy. Your motives vary but you all enrolled to try and make the world a better place. It's adorable."

"It's what huntsman and huntresses do."

"Not all of them. Some people are just in it for the money and the fame, but there's even more who are just looking to grow stronger. Your uncle Qrow and I didn't attend beacon to become huntsman. We did it to learn how to kill huntsman."

You were listening but your gaze was mostly on the cup of tea you were having you glanced up at Raven as she said those words though.

"Daddy and uncle left that part out, hm?" Raven asked the shocked Yang, Weiss and Pyrrha.

"Aside from the Grimm. Huntsman were the only ones capable of ruining our raids and hunting us down our tribe needed a counter force." She took a sip from her tea.

"And Qrow and I were the perfect age. The entrance exams are child play compared to what we had already been through." Raven had poured herself another cup of tea and stood up turning away from the four.

"We were good. So good we caught the attention of beacons very own headmaster. Professor Ozpin. Even after we were put on a team I could tell he was keeping his eye on us. Back then I thought it was because he knew, but it was team stark he was interested in."

"What do you mean by that?" Yang asked

"Constant attention. Extra training missions. Turning a blind eye whenever we happen to break rules and get into more trouble than we should've. Sound familiar?"

Your gaze fell down to your teacup again and you had by now finished it.

'Fuckin-A I might need something stronger...'

You poured yourself another cup and Yang would speak,

"What's your point?"

"How much do you know about Professor Ozpin? About his past?"

"He was a prodigy, one of the youngest headmaster's to be appointed to a school." Weiss informed

You took another silent drink from your cup of tea. The longer this conversation went on the more you started to have doubts.

"Because that's how he planned it. Because the man you know is Ozpin designed those schools. And has followers inside every academy in remnant that are loyal to him and no one else."

"That doesn't make any sense. How could he have—No, why would someone even do that?"

"Because old man Oz has a great and terrible secret. One that could spread fear across the world. One that he eventually entrusted to our team. And once I knew there was no going back. I needed to know more. But with every new discovery I made the more horrifying the world became."
