Around a campfire, Ruby, Rin, Qrow, Jaune, Ren, Zach, and Nora sit on four logs positioned in a square. Qrow has just finished telling the story of the Maidens.
There is silence and Qrow takes a swig from his flask. He has a bandage wrapped around his abdomen over his clothing.
Qrow: Really? No questions?
Jaune: Of course we have questions. This is just... a lot to take in.
Qrow: (sighing) Sure, of course.
Ruby: So these... Maidens...
Ruby: They're powerful fighters that don't need Dust to use magic.
Qrow: Yeah.
Nora: And there are four of them?
Qrow: Yup. Always.
Rin: They also correlate of the four seasons. Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall.
Zach: Uh-huh.
Ren: Which means that, whenever one of them dies, the power transfers to someone - a female - that they cared about?
Qrow: Whoever was in their thoughts last. Important distinction. Best option is someone we can trust. Regardless, their souls become combined, in a way.
Jaune: And that's what you were trying to do to Pyrrha... the night the tower fell. You were trying to turn her into one of them.
