A pale skinned hand pops out of the earth ground and then, an arm shows, coming from the ground. And the second hand comes out, grasping onto the dirt.

Only to reveal a female covered in dirt and ashes.

"Where am I?" The female mutters to herself as her silver eyes glance around to her surroundings before shaking her head.

She looks down at her near naked body and covers it, the bandages that are covering her breasts and private area are nearly falling off.

"My head...it hurts." She holds her head as she screams aloud, black veins appearing near her eyes.

A flash of memories come and go as she stands there, frozen.

"Ashen One...you will find more in this new...realm. But take heed...there will be hardships." The firekeeper says as she glances at the Ashen One.

"I understand, Firekeeper. Now, let me go. It's finally time."

"Alright." The Firekeeper nods as she looks at the dying bonfire before it lights up once again. "Take these, they will be helpful in your journey." The Firekeeper hands the Ashen One a couple of Estus Flasks before waving goodbye.

"Thank you, Firekeeper." The Ashen One smiles before disappearing into ashes.

The female glances up as she hears footsteps and frowns, readying herself to prepare for what's to come.

She spots a figure dressed in green and a crow.

"Who are you?" She squints her eyes at the figure.

"You may not know me, but I'm known as Ozpin...and this crow here, is Qrow, ironically." Ozpin chuckles a bit before smiling, offering his hand to the female.

"Oz...Ozpin?" The female tilts her head as the marks on her body glow a bit.

"You have silver eyes..." Ozpin whispers, glancing into the female's eyes before shaking his head. "Yes, that would be me." He smiles again.

The crow squawks a bit before flying off and coming back, this time in human form.

"Wait, did that crow just transform into a human?" The female's eyes widen at the male figure called "Qrow" and gasps softly.

"Yeah, I'm a shapeshifter...if you haven't caught my drift, miss." Qrow pulls out his flask and takes a sip before putting it away.

"Oz, we need to get going, or else she will send Grimm our way and it won't be pretty."

"Grimm?" The female blinks several times.

"Yes, Grimm, Ashen One."

The female now called the Ashen One glares at Qrow with a bitter expression. "How did you-"

"It's easy, but I'll explain later." Qrow rolls his eyes a bit before walking towards where the airship is.

"Come on, Ashen One." Ozpin smiles and the Ashen One takes his hand and walks with him towards the airship.

As they arrive to airship, a bearded male can be seen waiting for them.

"What took you so long, Ozpin?"

The Ashen One raises her eyebrow at the bearded man before frowning, pressing her lips together.

"I'm sorry, James. It took us a brief moment to clear things up."

"Understandable. Let's get going." The man named James motions with his hand and walks up into the airship.

Ozpin, Qrow and the Ashen One also enter the airship and they fly off, towards their destination.

And when they arrive to their destination, they land their airship and the Ashen One looks at Ozpin for a split second before snapping her attention towards Qrow chuckling.

"What?" The Ashen One coldly says.

"You're interested in old Oz?"

"What? No. Why would I?" The Ashen One replies, crossing her arms.

"You were staring at him."

"Was not."

"Was too." Qrow sticks out his tongue at the Ashen One and the Ashen One gasps, feeling a bit mocked.

"Was not." The Ashen One says as she walks towards the exit, but is stopped by James.

"You might want to wear this..." James hands the Ashen One a black cloak and the Ashen One accepts it and puts it on almost instantly.

"Thank you, James." The Ashen One smiles before exiting the ship.

Ozpin, James and Qrow also exit the ship and they help the Ashen One get to Ozpin's office.

And when they do arrive to Ozpin's office, Ozpin sits down into his chair and glances at the Ashen One.

"So." Qrow walks towards the Ashen One and glances up and down at her before smirking. "What are we going to call you?"

"My name? I never had one to begin with...I've only been called "The Ashen One" for the majority of my life..."

"That's horrible." James mutters.

The Ashen One shrugs a bit before turning her attention towards Ozpin. "I'm used to it."

"Still, we need to name you, Ashen One." Ozpin thinks a bit before having a light bulb moment, "Why not Freyja?"

"I like it. It rolls off of the tongue really nicely." The Ashen One replies, nodding her head. "Freyja... is my new name!"

"Now, Freyja, we should get you some proper clothes." Qrow comments as he cocks his eyebrow at her being near naked underneath the cloak.

"...Right." Freyja gives a brief nod.
