A Much Needed Talk

Y/N POV

Team JNR, Qrow, Ruby, Ryoko, Ana, Kitsune, and I were sitting around a campfire in silence until Qrow spoke up.

Qrow: Really? No questions?

Jaune: Of course we have questions. This is just... a lot to take in.

Qrow: Sure, of course.

Ruby: So these... maidens... They're powerful fighters that don't need Dust to use magic.

Qrow: Yeah.

Nora: And there are four of them?

Qrow: Yup. Always.

Ren: Which means that, whenever one of them dies, the powers transfer to someone - a female - that they care about?

Qrow: Whoever was in there thoughts last. Important distinction. Best option, it's someone we can trust. Regardless, their souls become combined, in a way.

Y/N: And that's what you were trying to do to Pyrrha? The night the tower fell. You were trying to turn her towards into one of them.

Qrow: The previous Fall Maiden, Amber, had been attacked. She was young, inexperienced. And her assailant who we now know as Cinder, somehow managed to steal some of her power, but not all of it. We were afraid that if we didn't do something, the rest would go to her as well.

Y/N: So you forced it on Pyrrha. (Clenching my fist)

Qrow: We didn't force anything. We explained the situation and gave her a choice, and she chose. You were there, you heard her.

I quickly got up and went to get fresh air.

Ryoko: Y/N...

Ruby: That guy, Tyrian and Y/N's dad. Why were they after me and Y/N?

Qrow: (sighs) Well, you two definitely painted a target on your back with what you guys did at Beacon. I told you having silver eyes is a rare trait. And the fact that you two could do what no one else can seemed to upset some very powerful people. Not many people know about the silver eyes. But those that do aren't very happy that one has surfaced let alone two. Y/N is a very powerful warrior, one that Salem especially wants dead. That's why I've been keeping a eye on you two. In order you guys were safe. All of you.

Ryoko: But, Y/N has a target on his back. Meaning these people will stop at nothing to kill him.

Ruby: Why not travel with us? It seems like that would've been way easier.

Y/N: He's been using us as bait, Ruby. The fact that we have silver eyes made us the perfect bait to lure these villains out.

Qrow: Look, I wouldn't put it like that; it's... complicated.

I walk back to the group as Ana raises from her seat.

Ana: What is all of this? Ruby and Y/N are being hunted, the schools are being attacked, all for what? What's the point in all this? To hunt my best friend and his teammate. Will you just tell us what's going on?!

Qrow: (sighs) Would you sit down? You're stressin' me out, kid.

Ana and I took our seats.

Qrow: Not many people are super religious these days. This world's been around for a long time, long enough that have people have created dozens of god. But if you believe Ozpin, two of them are actually real. They were brothers. The older sibling, the god of light, found joy in creating forces of life. Meanwhile, the younger brother, the god of darkness, spent his time creating forces of destruction. As you can imagine, they both had pretty different ideas about how things should go. The older one would spend his days creating water, plants, wildlife. And at night, his brother would wake to see all the things that the elder had made and become disgusted. To counteract his brother's creation, the god of darkness brought drought, fire, famine, all that he could do to rid Remnant of life. But life always returned. So one night, the younger brother went and made something. Something that shared his innate desire to destroy anything and everything.
