Third Person POV

On the island of Patch, just off the coast of Vale, a house remained in the woods, far from other civilization. Inside, was a lively family. A father and mother, named Tai and Summer respectively, were huntsman, as well as their three children, Yang, Ruby, and her twin brother Y/N. The three got along very well, almost never having any serious arguments. The twins were at the age of 5, their half-sister at the age of 7.

They sat at a dinner table, Y/N sitting on his mothers lap. The small boy looked a little different than his twin, but he contained similar features from both his parents. He had black hair with red tips, white skin, and a wide smile on his face. Ruby sat close to the two, Yang sitting next to their dad.

The family ate dinner like any normal one, though this time Summer had news for the family.

"I have another mission coming up in a couple days. It's gonna be about a 3 day mission, but I won't be able to communicate with you guys until I get back," She said in a soft voice.

Y/N frowned, tilting his head back to look at his mother. Contrary to both his mom and twin sister, he did not carry the silver eye trait. Instead, he had piercing yellow eyes that didn't match either of his parents. There was no doubt that he was their kid, but it was odd seeing such a thing.

"Don't leave us with Dad! His cooking sucks!" The yellow-eyed boy said, jokingly.

"No it does not!" Tai spoke in shock, chuckling at the end.

The whole family started to laugh, before continuing the topic.

"Do you really have to go, Mom?" Ruby asked, saddened.

"It's only gonna be for a few days Rosebud. I'll be back before you know it!" Summer cheerfully responded, putting a hand on her daughters head.

"We're gonna miss you!" Yang said next.

Summer smiled at her.

"I'll miss you guys too, but it'll be quick and easy mission!"

The three kids nodded simultaneously, all carrying a smile.

"Now how about I make some cookies?" Summer asked.

The kids all cheered in joy, Tai chuckling at them.

Y/N POV

"I turned 10 today, Mom," I spoke out.

I sat on a cliff side, a grave in front of me, my mother's name imprinted on it. It had been 5 years since I had last seen my mom. She left for a mission that was supposed to take 3 days.

Well, 3 days turned to weeks, then months, then years.

I wanted to believe she was okay, that she would appear at our doorstep any day, or I would come home to the smell of her cookies. But with each day that passed, my hope was killed, little by little.

My siblings were really hurt by this, Ruby still trying to get over her disappearance. Yang was strong, but I think she was just acting like that because she's the oldest. Dad seemed to be doing better, but I think he's also just acting.

"Ruby got a scythe from Uncle Qrow today... She's planning to be a huntsman, just like you and Dad!" I said, excited for a moment, before my mood dropped again.
