Prologue: Promise Me
Rain fell from the night sky as a man knelt to the ground cradling in his arms a woman slowly succumbing to an eternal sleep.
"Promise me… To Live" She said with every ounce her life
"Promise me… To Love again" she said as she felt her life coming to a close
"Promise me Jaune… To smile again" with the last of her strength she forces her hand to grab his.
"I Promise" was all he could reply when she felt limp in his arms a small smile on her face
Tears trickling down from his face as it flowed with the cry of heaven, he look up and screamed.

He woke up with a start gasping as he did, sweat rolling in his face, as his hand reach his face he felt fresh tears rolling. Recollecting his thoughts about his dream, his memory, his scar and her.
'It's been a year since then' he thought as he headed towards a mirror looking towards his reflection his dark blue eyes scanning his face his blond hair was a mess from the rude awakening, a necklace with two gold bands hanging close together.
'That's right today is the day I'm going to Beacon' he mused wiping away the tears from his face and decided to take a quick shower to start his day.

Inspecting himself one last time with the mirror if he has everything he needed, a pair of white iron gauntlets strap to his arm, a black hoodie covered by a white platemail and shoulder pads, blue denim jeans and a pair of greaves, Corcea Mors strap by his waist. He glace at a rectangular box at his table top. Grasping at the handle it began mecha-shifting into a blue metallic Bow, inspecting it with keen eyes and with a flick of his wrist it mecha-shifted again into a spear giving it a once over, satisfied he flick his wrist and it returned into a box, running his fingers on the words that etch itself in the surface of the weapon 'Wintersturm' a smile made it way his mouth before he tuck it behind his back in a special holster before exiting the room.

As the blond boy made his way down stairs he heard three familiar voices conversing one another as he reach the final steps he confirmed who the three were, a man in green suit with a cane/sword supporting him and amusing smirk in his face and a mischievous glint in his green eyes.
'Why do I have a bad feeling when Uncle Ozpin smiles like that' he thought as he made his way towards the group. Next to him was a blond with a roughish facial features, a scar under his left cheek and a full blown grin his red eyes burning with passion and mischief, his name was Davion Arc father of Jaune Arc and current head of the Arc Family. And finally a red headed man with charismatic features with worry written across his face his sharp angular glasses not hiding it along with a horizontal scar under his left eye he was the first person who notice the blond boy making his way towards them giving him a comforting smile.
"Slept well?" the red head ask
"Dreamt a past memory master nothing too much" the boy replied towards his master
"It's been a year since then hope you've fully recovered by now Jaune" Ozpin spoke up clearly knowing what he dreamt about which made Jaune flinch which was notice by the other three
"So son are you ready for your life at Beacon?" the other blond ask changing the subject which Jaune was thankful for
"Yeah dad, my all my stuff are pack in my room" Jaune replied
"Good I'll have one of the maids take care of it, your uncle here will take it to Beacon so you can go along now and say your goodbyes" his father said as he patted Professor Ozpin's shoulder for emphasis
"Well… if you say so" he replied as he wander towards the garden.
"Oh and Jaune?" his master spoke up
"Yes Master?"
"Please stop calling me that it's Uncle Negi now for you if not try Professor Springfield" the red head spoke with a gentle smile
"Okay Uncle Negi"
"When you finish your initiation in Beacon let's just say we got a surprise for you"
"And why do I get a bad feeling about this?" he raise and eye brow weary of the surprise
"You'll just have to wait and see" Ozpin said ending the conversation as Jaune shrug it off as he proceeds towards his original destination… the garden.
When he was out of ear shot the glint of mischief returned to their eyes excluding Negi who sighed in defeat
"So? What's the wager?" Jaune's father ask turning to Ozpin a smirk across his face mirrored by the white haired headmaster

The garden was in full bloom as flowers of different kinds open their beautiful petals in full display to the world. As Jaune walk along a stone path leading to the center there he spotted who he was looking for, a girl two years older than Jaune her silky blond hair waving with the breeze as she scan the field of flowers with her crimson eyes a pleasing aura emanating from her with warm serene grace, her name is Marie Arc elder sister to Jaune Arc.
"Hey sis" he began with a sheepish smile which the elder arc noticing she wasn't alone look towards the general area where the voice originated
"Is that you Jaune? Have come to say your goodbyes?" she ask not moving from her place leaning on a pillar
"Yeah, in a few hours I'm going to Beacon"
"Then at least give your sister a goodbye hug then" she said as she began moving accompanied by small tapping noises which the cane in her hand produces until she was near him she gestured for a hug and he complied, after a few silent moments they stare at one another Jaune looking at the eyes off her sister who's eyes had lost all its light and had been dull, full of darkness, and blind. He gritted his teeth as he recalled her accident five years ago.
"Jaune you shouldn't think about bad memories. Its bad luck you know that" she scolded as she step back making a worried look
"Sorry force of habit" he replied as he shrank at the look
"Now, now I know you're here to pick flowers also for her" she said with a hint of sadness in her voice
"You know sis sometimes you contradict yourself from time to time and I don't know if it's intentional or not" his voice held sarcasm in it yet it held also a pang of sadness his face showing mock hurt. She giggled as the heavy atmosphere around them vanish he too followed in her infectious laughter. After a few moments catching their breaths the Arc sibling began picking flowers. Moments later a beautiful bouquet was maid filled with tulips, daisies, and roses.
"All set?" the older of the two ask
"Yeah" he replied as he grab Marie's hand and guide her inside the manor.

As he made his way to the kitchen he saw another blond woman, her name was Rachel Arc making her way towards him, her hair now sporting streaks of white hair, and gentle smile as her deep blue eyes gaze towards her son, both arms tuck behind her back.
"Hey mom, I came to say goodbye" he announce as the matriarch of the family stop infront of him
"Aww. Look at my son a big boy now" she replied with a pinch in the cheek with one hand as the other still behind her back
"Come on mom I'm not a kid anymore" he argued gaining a small giggle from her elder sister
"Make sure you wear clean underwear, Brush your teeth every night…" her mother began nagging as Jaune sweatdrop from all this pampering "and most of all…"
"Mom come on I'm 18 years old now" he cut her off which Rachel was surprise seeing a blushing Jaune at his embarrassing predicament while her sister enjoy it fondly
"Don't do anything stupid" she finally said looking at her son with worried look
"Look mom I promise, I won't forget but the last one is kinda hard to keep for an Arc" he said as he staggered backwards preparing for a scolding but she only sighed
"I know it just that keep it to a minimum"
"I'll try my best not to get into trouble"
"Good here a parting gift from me" she said as with excitement as she revealed two silver gauntlets with retractable blades as well as a grey cloak that was neatly folded
"I'm speechless … its just … this is awesome mom thanks" he stammered finding the correct words as he saw the pair of gauntlets 'Twilight Luna' engrave in its blades.
"Come on lil' bro try it on" his sister insisted nudging him towards the weapons
"Okay" he replied glee leaking of his voice as he removes his old white gauntlets in place for the new ones. Fitting it perfectly in his arms, outstretching his arms outwards admiring the craftsmanship did to it.
"try flicking your wrist" Rachel instructed , he nodded and did what he was told and with a flick the blades unsheathed itself from the gauntlets with a gun barrel sticking out at the center of the blade, his eyes wander about the barrel being it their looking towards his mother.
"It's a compact three cylinder dust cannon, each cartridge can pack a punch rivalling that of a small cannon but with the added accuracy, thought I would advise you to use it only when encountering larger Grimm like a Nevermore or Deathstalker" she said as he inspected Twilight Luna before sheathing it again.
"And what about the cloak mom?" he ask inspecting the grey cloak its fitting loose enough to fit him while wearing both his black and orange hoodie along with his armor, the sleeves hiding his new trump card and the tail of the cloak reaching the heels of his greaves, the back has an embroiled symbol of the Arc Family, the double Crescent Moon.
"Oh it's just make you a little bit badass looking as the youth say it" she said
"Seriously Mom?" he ask which Rachel just replied with a shrug of her shoulders before giving him an air squeezing hug after a few moment she let go as Jaune began sucking air he had lost.
"Come on, father is waiting outside" Marie said as she smack her brother's back which Jaune writhe in pain with the force behind it despite that frail body of hers she could still pack a punch.
"Come on sis control your strength will ya, I might die before I actually get killed in Beacon" he complain with a wincing smile as he followed the giggling sister, putting on the cloak while doing so.

As he arrived at the manor's entrance lobby he was greeted by his uncles and father waiting for himeach one has a smile which held pride for him.
"Ready for your big day?" his father ask his gleeful grin shone bright along with his rough facial features his eye holding on to tears of joy
"Yeah dad I'll just visit her grave then I'm off"
"Make me proud boy"
"I'll make sure of it"
"And when you come home introduce us to your new bride to be" Davion tease as he saw his son's cheeks fluster with embarrassment but his mischief stop when a cold hand grip his shoulder and a deathly aura emanating from behind.
"Mom's behind me isn't she?"
"Yep"
"I'm screwed right?"
"You'll live… somehow… one way or the other" Jaune said with mild hesitation at his father's predicament but he couldn't help but laugh at it also.
"Oh Honey what did I told you about that subject" Rachel was behind him each word filled with venom
"its okay mom I'll be fine" he reassured her
"I hope so" she replied still worried about her precious son
"Come now Rachel his a big boy now let him see the unseen horizon of youth, let him fell what was like being in Beacon, and the adventures you will make on your journey" Davion comforted his wife with a few exaggerated gesture here and there which Rachel laugh at the sight followed by both Negi and Ozpin with their own unique way.
'They never get old' Jaune muse at the sight of the adults that made out team DRGO plus uncle Negi excluding aunt Glyda who was busy at Beacon preparing for the ceremonies. His thoughts were cut short when a gentle hand grab his shoulders, looking back he saw Marie with the Bouquet of flowers they pick at the garden at her hand.
"I think it about time you leave now Jaune" she said with hint of sadness
"Don't worry sis I'll be back during the holidays"
"Yeah I know"
"Well then goodbye" he said with finality and resolution in his voice as he took one last look at the place he called home. Taking one last breath of the familiar scent of his home and family, with that in mind he proceeded out the door to a grand adventure.

Her soft blue eyes stared down at the white marble slab grave marker, a white rose in hand.
"Moring big sis" she started.
"You know I'm going to Beacon today"
"I don't know if I'll fit but I'll try, after all I made a promise that I'll become stronger so that next time I come here I'll show you what I have become, a huntress you can be proud of so promise me please sis watch me" she declared with conviction in her eyes as single tear drop falling from it.
"Miss Schnee it about time we go to port" a butler announce cutting her off
"Thank you Hayate just one more moment if you please" she glace back at the butler requesting to stay a bit longer. He nodded and began preparing the limo for their departure.

Jaune arrive at the grave marker he was looking for, its white marble glistening with the sun, a rose at its base
'So her lil sis came here' he thought as he looks at the rose
"Hey there Snowflake, your resident tall, blond, and scraggly here" he began as he trailed his hand on the engrave name written on the slab a sad look on his face
"It's been a year now hasn't it?"
"I'm obviously doing fine, the teams still connected though, they miss you"
"It's just not right without you, you know especially when the money still likes monkeying around so much, heard a report of him stowing away in a ship heck he even smiled for the camera" he laugh at the memory
"She even miss you, last time I saw her she was taken away on an important program or something still she act kind of weird or as weird as its gonna get"
"There was one time when Master Negi was chase around…." He continued ranting different stories of different people they knew as each succeeding story he told tears began trickling down his face.
"Dang it, I wish you were here seeing everything, enjoying life but fate really is cruel taking something so important, he really is a sadist for doing this with or without reason" he said trying to stop the flowing tears. 'I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Why must it be that way' an internal turmoil began in his head as the tears flow, blue eyes clouded by sadness, his body shivering, but as it came it stop. Breathing a heavy sigh, glancing at the grave stone, conviction settling in his body.
"But… that won't stop you right? Then it won't stop me also from moving forward maybe to a brighter future, to a happily ever after we are seeking" his eyes maybe bloodshot from the tears but hidden within is a resolve to move forward.
Placing down the bouquet of flowers next to the white rose, standing himself up he glace back at the rose and then to his bouquet, he smiled to himself and thought 'The white rose maybe simple but it's the thought of it being there counts'. Turning around he took one last glace at the marble stone

Like it?Hate it? or Generally amuse by it? Share your thoughts and review and also I am in need of a Beta reader I've been rusty in my writing recently that I cant do that much, I also might need a cover for the story and I'm just an average when it comes to that too. So catch any reference in there?
also here is a deleted scene that gave me the most headache and debate within myself if to add it in or not for the lolz but decided against it. this scene happened after Jaune made is way from the garden to the living room
Omake:
As he parted ways with his older sister he saw uncle Ozpin, and uncle Negi waiting for him by the main door of the household, the first sporting a amused smile, while the other held an apologetic face, before he could question them he as pinned from behind by his father muttering a quick apology for what he was about to do nodding his head towards Negi
"Sorry about this" he apologize before he chanted something
"Master what do you think you're doing?" Jaune ask frantically as he struggle against his father's hold
"Ras tel Maskir, Magister, O Three Black Books of the Covenant, Bind his Powers for Three Months" he chanted as magic power swirled around them and as he finish his chant three black rings formed around Jaune's shoulder and just as the surge of magic appeared it dissipated into nothingness. Then Jaune's father decided to let go of his son and huddle around the other two.
"Did it work?" Ozpin asked
"Truth be told that was anti-climactic, I was expecting like a poof or boom or something" Jaune Sr. confess
"Don't worry it should work perfectly…I think?" Negi said with slight doubt, as they discuss with the three of them ignoring a rather enrage and confuse Arc
"Will the three of you please explain to me what just happened!" he exclaimed looking at the three adults in front of him
"Oh! That? We just sealed away your Magic and Aura abilities for the whole first semester of classes" his father explained proudly infact
"How am I supposed to survive with my magic and aura gone pops!?"
"Calm down Jaune, Davion said only magic and aura your ki techniques should be fine" Ozpin explained with a bemused expression
"Besides as long as you can stay away from trouble you'll be fine" Negi continued seeing that the younger Arc had calmed down quite abit.
"Then let me test this out" he said turning towards the hall way devoid of people and obstructions, he tried focusing his aura around his feet but nothing came out, his magic next and nothing but when he tried his ki however he was able to make an instant movement without any glitch proving the point about what the three said
"So what am I supposed to do now?" with that question in the air, Davion had a wide grinned plastered across his face.
"Well now that you mentioned it…"
'Oh boy I'm regretting it already'
