" Uncle Qrow.....Uncle Qrow, wake up." Ruby shook him awake.
" What is it?" He groaned. " What the hell are you all doing here?" He said looking at Weiss and Oscar. " Is something wrong?" He asked looking at their worried faces. They pulled him to the stairwell, very quietly Ruby went ahead to peak. She gestured him to take a look. " What the hell...?" He saw Yang with the others on the other end, she gestured him to stay quiet as they watched her.
She sat crossed legged in the middle of the stairwell. Her binds over her eyes and her weapon on her side. The binds moved on their own, removing itself from her eyes. Then, they saw the dark figure unfolding the binds which was actually a small scarf with a sharp toothed smile imprinted on it. The figure glanced at both sides and smiled. Qrow readied his weapon as he came towards them.
" Shh," It placed a finger over its mouth. " She's sleepwalking, her past memories are returning.... I recommend keeping quiet. She's still asleep with her eyes open after all."
" The hell are you?" Qrow hissed.
" Her friend... Now watch, her dreams get pretty....real for her... I'm just wondering which memory while rise first. So please, enjoy the show." He returned to his previous position as she stood.
Several ghostly grimm formed and she raised her sword. She jumped back as a beowolf attacked. Moving quickly, she dodged to the left and cut the grimm in half with one swift move. She ducked and rolled over as a nevermore swooped down, she grabbed it by the foot and brought it down. It evaporated with a satisfying hiss.
" Hey," She said after vanquishing a few more. The dark figure responded with a smile as it approached her. " I'm hungry." It smiled wider as it touched her scarf.
" Sure." Her scarf turned black as the figure somewhat melted into it. The imprints started to move like a real mouth. " Be careful, Natrah..." The mouth moved with its razor sharp teeth. A large Ursi roared before her and she roared back, sounding very much like a grimm herself. With her sword she cut off its front legs and stabbed its side before giving it the finishing blow. They stared as the grimm disappeared, for the killing blow wasn't the sword it was herself. She bit a chunk of its neck off and even swallowing it.
" Veena?" Ruby said bravely. She turned to her with a blank expression, staring at her like she was prey. Ruby took a step back as she stepped forward. Then Veena blinked, she almost screamed when she found the mask over her mouth. She pulled it off as the imprint returned to its original state.
" Get off!" She shouted as the black colour disappeared from her scarf. " What- What did you do?"
" Only what you asked of me, Natrah.." It said sticking out its tounge. " I thought making it more real would truly return your memories." It moved away almost like it was sulking. " Guess I was wrong."
" Oh, no you don't. That's it, get your ass on the chandelier. Now." It groaned even if it was reluctant, it still followed orders.
" I'm in hell!" It exclaimed.
" First off, the actual heck was that?" Qrow asked with the most confised and tired look in his eye.
" Past memories I suppose, something must've triggered it- Wait, why do I know that?" She was panicking a littlw bit. " This. Has never happened before. I haven't bern seeing things like this since- since I brought you people here...." She stared at them for a moment and shook her head. " No, you wouldn't..."
" Maybe something triggered your memories?" Oscar asked. She stared at him for a brief moment.
" Did you guys bring anything old or ancient? Other than that soul?" She said referring to Ozpin. Then her eye caught the relic hanging on Ruby's side. " The relic of knowledge, what? Why did I say that?"
" Do you want to see it?" Ruby offered. She stepped forward slowly and reached out. The moment she touched it, the entire room lit and they were seeing flashes of memories. Veena stayed in that position. Her soul projected and changed images several times. From a male faunus with ram-like horns, an older man with a large build, a grown woman with a long red scarf that was reffered by the figure as Natrah and finally a middle aged woman with the same eyes as Veena.
" You've done it.. YOU'VE DONE IT!" The dark figure exclaimed with delight. " She'll have her memories back just like she used to." It clapped its hands with delight as the light show ended. Veena was awestruck but she took a few steps back and stumbled. She sank to the ground and groaned as she rubbed her head.
" By the gods..." She muttered. " Must I really be dealing with this right now?"
