Remnant's Blossomed Tempest

Chapter 16: Confessions

Y/N POV:

After flying down from the rooftop with my mom I look to see camp has been set up with a blue camp fire made by Aiden.

Akemi: I'll be up above.

She climbs up a ledge sitting down by a wall next to a hole in the ceiling giving her a clear view down below as she starts typing on her computer again.

Yang: I can't believe we didn't find anything...

Blake: We've always been fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time. I guess we can't always have luck on our side.

Weiss: (Off-topic) That's not what I meant.

Y/N: Huh?

Weiss: Earlier, about... upholding the legacy. There's more to it than that.

Aiden: Yeah... No, me too. I mean... I don't know.

Blake: I don't know, either. I know what I want to do, but I figured I'd always take things one step at a time.

Yang: Well, it doesn't matter. We know why we're here. Right?

Oobleck:  (Suddenly comes rushing into the room) Ah, wonderful; a blue textbook campfire!

Ruby: Fire! (Comes in behind Oobleck and immediately sits next to the blaze alongside Zwei) So... warm...

Oobleck: Very good! Eat your dinners and hurry to bed. We have a lot of ground to cover tomorrow and we'll need you to take turns keeping watch over our temporary abode. Any volunteers for first watch?

Ruby: (Lifts an arm while still looking into the fire, simply answering) Yo.

Oobleck: Understood!

He rushes off as Ruby gets up to head to a lookout point.

Yang: (As her sister passes, stopping Ruby) Hey, did Oobleck ask you why you wanted to be a Huntress? I mean... what did you tell him?

Ruby: Hmm... No, he didn't. Weird. Oh, well; good night, guys!

She continues on her way as we set up for dinner and then head off to sleep.

I lay in bed with Hanari within our mentalscape as we cuddle with each other.

Hanari: It's still crazy...that we actually have a bloodline like this.

Y/N: I know the concept of not having emotions and me being created by you.

Y/N: This whole time I've been out instead of you.

Hanari: What's wrong Y/N?

Y/N: It's just since you're the real me maybe I should be the one in here while you're the one out there.

Hanari hugs me to my surprise.

Y/N: H-Hanari?

Hanari: I'm fine with how things are now.

Hanari: I don't care if I was the original or not the life you made for us is something I wouldn't trade for the world.
