Prologue- Birth of the Silver Eyes

A hundred years ago, the world of Remnant fell into despair after the event known as "The Fall of Beacon". The four kingdoms: Vale, Vacuo, Mistral, and Atlas; once strong and proud; had been shattered into pieces. Their bonds were broken by those who served the darkness, however each of the kingdoms had its own demons within them.

The inner conflict in Atlas of hierarchy has slowly been draining her bit by bit, the same in Vacuo as the increase of the Faunus population caused more problems than she would've liked, and Vale is still struggling to bring herself back up from the disaster a hundred years ago.

Mistral, however has suffered more discrimination after discovering Lionheart's association with Salem's Faction. Since then, Mistral was deemed untrustworthy and Haven Academy was close to being empty after most of it's students left, not wanting to be in a school that was full of "traitors".

However, after a few decades, a new headmistress came and promised to bring Haven back from its state of depressing emptiness. The school was slowly being filled back up, and eventually, Mistral was brought back to her former glory bit by bit. Any underground organization that was in hiding was found and disposed of that very second.

Then came the official birth of Oniyuri…

Tired of Mistral always falling into darkness, those who wanted nothing to do with that kingdom decided to go and finally finish building the very village with its own laws, nothing to keep them tied down. People rejoiced once the village was finally built, and over time more people started to come and they made it bigger, the size of a single city, and even made their very own traditions. Every citizen that turns sixteen is allowed to travel the world on their own, to see if they can learn the world of Remnant and bring their village hope of becoming its very own kingdom. However, it has never gotten to that point.

Then there was the silver eyed warriors. The eldest warriors known throughout all of Remnant, yet the last time Mistral had seen one was over a hundred years ago. People said that the silver eyes had faded into legends, never to grace the lands of Mistral again.

Until sixteen years ago…

"Okay, everyone ready?" A man in a dark robe said. "On the count of three…"

" It's your sixteenth year

On the day of your birth

It's time to go off

And show the world what you're worth

May your ancestors smile down

And bring you great joy

Your people will love you

Young maiden or boy"

The people sang the traditional sixteenth birthday song, as a way of bidding the young maiden before them farewell. She had long hair in a lazy ponytail, the front bangs and strands framing her face, it's colors being dusk blue from top all the way to dawn red at the ends being connected by violet.

For clothes, she wore a black strapless crop top with matching capris underneath a tunic like robe that only had the right sleeve, it's colors being red and blue with purple designs. Her emblem, a sun and moon morphed together, was located at her right hip. Cream leg warmers hugged her lower legs and covered most of her magenta boots. Her outfit really complimented her voluptuous figure, her breasts being very large and she had curves that made any boy's dream come true.

What really made her stand out the most was her eyes. The color of her eyes was pure silver, one of the rarest colors in Remnant, and one that Mistral has never seen in a hundred years. She gave a happy yet nervous smile as she played with the two black wristbands on her wrists and then took a deep breath. After that, she blew out the candles on the giant cake before her, the winds blowing a few people away.

Everyone laughed as a piece of the cake was soon cut.

"Here, dearie," an old woman said. "Take a piece for the road."

The girl nodded happily as she took the plate with her large piece of cake.

This girl was Reimei Niijima. She had just turned sixteen, and as tradition in Oniyuri, she was at the age to go travel the world on her own to find herself. She carefully wrapped up the cake before she grabbed up her bag and slung it over her shoulder.

"Be sure to write back to us, Rei," a young man, about a year older than she was, said as he held her close.

Rei, as she preferred to be called, hugged back with a smile. "I will, promise!"

"Oi! Don't forget about these!" The city blacksmith said as he held a giant case. "Extra retractable blades! In case you run out too quickly, be sure to give me a call!"

The girl took the giant case with a smile. "Thank you!" She then turned to the village elder, who smiled down at her before hugging her.

"Make us proud, Reimei," he whispered. "We all love you no matter what…"

Rei hugged back tightly. "I will... I love you…"

With the last few goodbyes, Reimei waved to her people as they expressed their own goodbyes and telling her that they would miss her.

"I'll be back soon! And when I do, I'm coming back a warrior you can all be proud of!"

With those declarations out of the way, and her final goodbyes were said, Rei turned forward and started on her journey.

Reimei was born in her proud village of Oniyuri. Her parents were named Akatsuki, her father, and Tosogayo, her mother. They were proud warriors of Oniyuri, and were very noble in the laws and morals their village had. When Reimei was born, they were astonished to see that their child had been born with silver eyes, as neither of her parents had silver eyes themselves.

However, they believed that she would be able to do great things when she reached adulthood someday, so they did their very best to keep her protected. Then one day, her parents went off on a mission, leaving her in the care of the village elder, Nisshoku. Days turned to months since they left, and when it came down to a full year, they were confirmed to have died when a huntsman arrived and told Nisshoku of Akatsuki and Tosogayo's fate.

The elder was heartbroken, knowing that Reimei no longer had parents to be proud of or who would come back to her, or she would be able to come back to once she was grown up. He did his best to raise her, and taught her the differences between right and wrong. He was amazed in how understanding she was of the cruelty that mankind shamefully possessed when he started teaching her these things when she turned five.

Despite the initial surprise, he was happy knowing that she was a fast learner. Then it came to her unnatural strength and speed, as she is able to get started and finish chores with ease and even help with carpenters in lifting heavy objects. The warriors of their village began to see that she possessed more talent in combat than most of the other children her age, so when she was ten, they started training her at the village dojo.

She was the best out of all of the students in the dojo, and people knew she would grow up to become a proud warrior. Nisshoku wanted her to train extra hard for this. Now that she was sixteen, she was free to explore the world of Remnant to find her place.

Reimei looked up at the sky with a smile.

'Today is going to be a new time for me. I'm going to make my village a kingdom. I believe it!'

After a few hours of walking, Rei soon came across the next town and she saw that it was getting rather dark. Her stomach growled as she hadn't had anything to eat yet, wanting to save her birthday cake for later.

"Well, I guess I better go ahead and rest in this town for a bit," she mumbled to herself as she looked into her bag to make sure that she had enough money for a place to stay. When she found that she did, she gave a nod before entering the town.

She was able to rent a room in the most comfortable inn that the village had, and once that was paid for, she sat on the bed and enjoyed her birthday cake with a smile. Rei looked out the window as she had her cake, already feeling a bit homesick. She didn't know if she wanted to leave Oniyuri at first, because she grew up there. However, when the elder told her of the many stories of heroes, it inspired her to want to travel and become someone everyone could be proud of.

"It's just the first step," she said to herself as she stared up at the stars.

Her train of thought was soon cut off when she started to hear screaming out in the open. This made Rei react quickly on instinct because she had shoved the rest of her cake in her mouth and swallowed it whole before grabbing her guns and leaping out of the window.

After landing on the ground, she sprinted forward and rushed to the sound of the screams. She looked around before she spotted a bandit cloaked in black running across the roof. She grit her teeth before speeding up to him and leaping off of one of the boxes that came across her path. She lifted her leg as the wind swirled around her right foot before she kicked the bandit, sending flying into another bandit across the village.

"What the?"

A gunfire was heard and a bandits feet were frozen. In the blink of an eye, a strange teenager, aka Rei, leaped up from behind one of the buildings and knocked a bandit off his feet. Rei was quick to disarm another and throw him into the wall, knocking him out.

"You!" She started as she knocked down a bandit. "Shouldn't!" She kicked another. "Be!" She blocked a punch. "Raiding!" She kicked her attacker on the crotch and threw him on the ground. "Villages!"

Rei yelped as she barely dodged an arrow that passed her head. She looked to see that these bandits had an archer and he shot another arrow, only for him to miss as she ran towards him to take his bow and hit him in the face with it.

The people that were hiding for safety watched Rei fight off the bandits in awe, along with a young woman with dark purple hair tied in a low ponytail by a white ribbon, crystal blue eyes, and pale skin; wearing a purple kimono with lavender designs and holding a bamboo cane.

Her eyes watched Rei's movements carefully as the teen fought off the bandits, taking in every detail of her skills. Unlike the villagers, this woman was calm when the bandits arrived, and she became fascinated when the girl came to stop these bandits from raiding this village.

Once Rei was finished with the last one, they heard a whistle and the bandits fled the village.

"You won't get away with this, you damn brat!" they called. "We'll get our revenge!" With that, they were gone.

Rei gave a sigh of relief before turning to one of the village's women, who approached her with a child by her side.

"You're amazing!" the child said in glee.

"You saved our village, Miss," the woman said. "All of us are in your debt."

Rei blushed in embarrassment and waved her hands. "Oh! I-it's no big deal!" she stuttered. "I just didn't want to sit there while those bandits took things and hurt people!"

"Please, come inside my restaurant," the chef of a restaurant insisted. "As a way of thanking you for saving us."

Rei became even more flustered by this. "Ah! No! You don't have to do that! I-I just wanted to help!"

"Then would you mind just dining while having a talk with me," a voice behind her said.

The teen turned to the source and gasped in shock at the sight of the woman who observed her. "Y-You're Kaguya Sekai!" she said in shock. "The headmistress of Haven Academy!"

Kaguya smiled. "Ah, I'm honored that you know who I am," she said casually.

"W-Well, who doesn't know about you!" the teen stuttered. "I mean, um, uh… Sorry, I totally sounded rude…"

"No need for apologies," Kaguya assured before looking at the chef. "Please, set us a table. There's something I need to discuss with this girl."

The chef nodded as the mayor of the village expressed his thanks to an even more embarrassed Rei while he led the two women inside to have a table set for them. Kaguya simply chuckled at the girl before sitting down, the teen taking a seat in front of the famous headmistress.

"Tell me, what is your name?" Kaguya asked.

"Reimei Niijima, ma'am," Rei answered. "I come from Oniyuri."

"I see," the headmistress mused. "The independent village that goes by it's own laws. Very interesting. How old are you?"

"I just turned sixteen today!" the girl said, happily.

"And you're traveling alone, as it is your people's tradition?"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Kaguya studied Reimei a little further before she noticed something astonishing. Rei's eyes. "Silver eyes," she mumbled. "There hasn't been anyone in Mistral with silver eyes in over a hundred years…"

"Headmistress Sekai?" the teen asked in confusion. "Is something wrong?"

"Please, Headmistress Kaguya will do just fine," the woman said with a small smile. "Reimei, have you ever heard of the Silver-eyed Warriors?"

"Um, I've only heard stories about them," Rei said honestly. "People in my village know the stories, but I never thought to ask if they were true or not."

Kaguya placed her chin on top of the back of her hands that were folded together. "Well, Reimei Niijima, what if I told you that I could give you the biggest opportunity to attend Haven Academy to become a huntress?"

Rei gasped. "But Headmistress, can you really do that!? I mean, my village isn't on good terms with Mistral!"

"Trust me, Miss Niijima, I wouldn't be offering you this if I wasn't sure," Kaguya said, clearly amused. "Besides, I think we can put this very special gift you have to good use. Plus, if you become a huntress, I'll even help you make Oniyuri a kingdom of Remnant."

The teen gave an excited smile. "You mean it!?"

"I do," Kaguya said with a grin.

Rei hopped up with a gleam of determination. "It's a deal then!"
