Continuing the Legacy (RWBY x Male Reader, Ruby x Reader)[On Hiatus until Vol10]

Getting Back on Course

*(Y/N) POV*

As night fell down and I got Qrow's wound bandaged we decided to set a camp. We are currently sitting on four logs around the fire as me and Qrow finished telling them that Maidens, Guardians and Magic is real. And that Grimm have their Queen, Salem. Upon finishing, silence occurs as Qrow takes a swing from his flask

Qrow: "Really? No questions?"

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

Qrow: "*sigh* Sure, of course"

Ruby: "So these...Maidens...They're powerful fighters that don't need Dust to use magic. And Guardians have a semblance coming from Maiden they suppose to protect"

Qrow: "Yeah"

Nora: "And there are four of them?"

(Y/N): "Always, same as Guardians"

Ren: "Which means that, whenever one of the Maidens dies, the power transfers to someone – a female – that they cared about?"

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

(Y/N): "In case of Guardians, it's mostly hereditary, something like Weiss' glyphs"

Jaune: "And that's what you were trying to do to Pyrrha. The night the tower fell. You were trying to turn her into Maiden"

Qrow: "The previous Fall Maiden, Amber, had been attacked. She was young, inexperienced. And her assailant, who we now know is 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"

Jaune: "So you forced it on Pyrrha"

Qrow: "We didn't force anything. We explained the situation and gave her a choice, and she chose. You were there, you heard her" he then looked at me "Right, matchstick, you were there too" the rest looked at me

(Y/N): "*sigh* I had to be there with Pyrrha. It was my duty to be her protector if she decides to accept"

Jaune: "So you knew? You knew what was happening and didn't think to stop her?"

(Y/N): "It! Was! Her! Choice! How many times do I have to tell you this Arc?!" I snapped "Do you think I liked any of it?! No! I tried to give her support, all pros and cons! But she decided!"

Jaune: "Did you-"

(Y/N): "If you wanted to ask if I cared about her. Yes, I did. She sacrificed her life in order to save yours!"

Jaune: "It doesn't change the fact that you could have done something!"

(Y/N): "Ohhh, I'm sorry. I was with Ruby, trying to stop Torchwick!"

Jaune: "Yeah, really helped..."

(Y/N): "Excuse me?!" I stood up as Ruby tried to calm me down

Ruby: "Cookie, sit down" but I ignored her

Jaune: "You weren't there to help Ryze, help Sam, help Mako. It's your fault he lost his eye!" Ruby and Nora gasped. I get to his face

(Y/N): " If you have balls... say that to my face, again..."

Jaune: "It's your fault-" I cut him off with a punch to the jaw as he recoils slightly

Ruby: "(Y/N)!"

(Y/N): "You think I don't know *tsk* That's why I want to make things right. Unlike you, I can do something about it" He went to punch me but I stepped aside "Today, when I was down, you just stayed there and watched as Tyrian was attacking Ruby. You wanted to be a hero, but acted like a coward" I looked at him "Pyrrha taught you otherwise..." At the mention of Pyrrha he get up and pinned me to the ground, delivering a punch
