The Wolf, The Lion, and The Dragon - (Vol.3)

Ch.1 Round One

3rd Pov

Over the view of the golden sun in an orange sky over the tall grass and autumn trees, in front of Summer's Gravestone is a young girl with a cloak billowing petals in the breeze. Hands clasped and hood up, Ruby Rose stands over the white stone memorial. She begins lowering her hood, smiling sadly downward.

Ruby: "Hey, mom. Sorry I haven't come by in a while. Things have been... well, things have been, pretty busy. Oh, Dad's here, too! He's, uh, you know... Dad. He's still teaching at Signal. But he told me that he's going to be on some mission soon. I think he misses adventuring with you... I miss you too. Haven't gotten kicked out of Beacon yet! So that's cool. I think being on a team with Yang helps. Keep her in line... That was a joke. She's actually a really great fighter! You can tell she's learned a lot from Dad! Oh, so are Weiss and Blake. Oh! They're my teammates! Together, we form Team RWBY! And yes, before you ask, that does cause a lot of confusion. But hey, I made a bunch of new friends! There is this other team at Beacon, named Team LADR, and they're really cool. Like literally, since their leader has a Semblance of shape-shifting and lightning manipulation. Her name is Brisa, by the way. She's the daughter of a famous Huntress, and she's one of my best friends. She's really caring and kind, but she's very unpredictable and mysterious sometimes, I don't know why though. She's really great at fighting too! Brisa and her partner, Raiden, help out the team a lot and keep us from 'causing trouble' as he would say. Yeah! Raiden is her partner Raiden Stormwing like the Stormwing's! You know like that.... mysterious legendary bird from the stories he's real! Yeah, they really make a great team. But the bad news is... Raiden was badly injured during our last mission with them. He was taken back to Elite-Meds and Co. to get patched up. I was really, really sad during that time."

She adapts a sad expression for a moment before her face finally brightens up again.

Ruby: "But the good news is, he's finally coming back today! Hehe... I can already imagine Brisa hugging the air out of him back in Beacon. Josh and Cyra are also with Brisa's team, by the way. Josh is a lot like Yang, they both do cringy puns and they work together a lot and Josh is also dating Yang plus they're basically inseparable. His partner, Cyra is one of my other best friends and she is really skilled with her Semblance. Then there is Team BARK they also have a really cool leader. His name is Owen he is best friends with Brisa, ooh there is also Kazey and Grace they both work together nicely. There is also Razor he's a Komodo Dragon Faunus and he's really cool he reminds me of myself in a way. *Giggles* Anyways, I also met some... let's just say, uh, odd teachers. Oh! We've also stopped some bad guys, too! I guess it's like they say: "like mother, like daughter"! I still wonder why Ozpin let me into the school early. But uh, I guess he'll tell me one day. But, you know how Ozpin is. It's funny, the more I get to know him, the more he's starting to sound like Uncle Qrow."

A bark alerts her to the ever-adorable Zwei and the sight of her father, Taiyang Xiao Long, in the trees behind her..

Ruby: "Oh! Looks like Dad's back! I gotta go! He's dropping me off at Beacon for the tournament match before he goes on his next mission. Wish me luck!"

She puts the hood back on and starts to walk away, but turns and delivers one final message to her mother.

Ruby: "It was good to talk."

With that said, Ruby jogs back to her family as a group of crows fly into the sun to make a very familiar sight.

Taiyang: "So, do you know when exactly was Yang gonna tell me she has a boyfriend?"
