Chapter 1- Destiny?
I sat at the park when some thugs were harassing a woman. She has a dark complexion wearing a 3/4 sleeve white button down, a red tie, black shorts with black suspenders, and black combat boots. Her hair is a big curly poof ponytail on top of her head with blunt bangs, and an archer's arrow barrette in the front. Getting up and walked over there. They turned their attention over to my direction. "What you want punk?" the thug asked. "Why don't you leave her alone." I answered. "I'm fine, you don't have to…" she started. More thugs came over and I was at the ready. I didn't have to really cut these guys. Just knock most of them out with the dull side of my swords. It was quick when I struck them down but the others pulled out guns. The next thing surprised me when archer's arrows quickly disarmed them. Looking to see that the damsel in distress wasn't really in distress. An archer's bow with a curved blade as the base was within in her hand and poised at the ready to shoot again. They left after they had a good look. "You're training to be a warrior too huh?" asking her. "I told you I could handle it." She retorted. "My mistake, my name is Rai. What's yours?" I say and place my weapons back where they belong. "My name is Harwyn." She said and the bow became collapsible to put away. "I got a feeling we'll run into each other again in the near future." I said and walked off. "You're going to Beacon too, aren't you?" Harwyn spoke up. I turn my head over my shoulder and said, "Yeah, I'll see you there then."
On the ship a week later and no sign of Harwyn. There were these two bickering at each other like siblings. I decided to investigate it as I walked over. "Silver Snarl is better than your Heavy Arms." The woman said to the guy. "Heavy arms are more reliable than a magical sword." He argued. "What's that about a magical sword?" speaking up. "Your name?" she asked me. "Rai, your's?" I replied. "I'm Star and this genius over here is Ryner." Star tells me and points a finger to the guy. "At least I made my weapon and not get a hand me down." Ryner spoke proudly. "Well I'd like to hear about each of your weapons." sounded interested. "Silver Snarl has been in our family for generations. I'm the first female to wield the blade and tap into its most inner power." Star said and showed the blade that was twice her size. "Yeah, yeah, yawn. Heavy Arms, are these giant gauntlets that transform into machine guns and can be used for devastating blows." As they continued on the debate of the better weapon, I noticed their outfits. Star wore a blue jacket, black undershirt, short denim shorts, and black high tops. And Ryner wore a simple black hoodie with black pants and black shoes. His gauntlets was also black too and it seemed like his hoodie sleeves were not too close to his weapon. I can see Star's simple blade had a blue hilt and the metal looked like orichalcum. Not just the strongest metal but know for magical properties too. The ship soon landed and all of us were boarding off.
Beacon looked so beautiful and amazing. I bet the view is incredible too. At orientation that Professor Ozpin gave an unusual speech. Getting assigned a locker to keep our gear in and we all were sleeping in this ballroom like some kind of sleep over. I was listening to my music when I felt someone nudge my foot. It was Harwyn in her pajamas and took off the head phones. "I guess we meet again." I answered. "Yep, you've heard how they're assigning teams tomorrow?" "Not really, it would consist of four people to make a team." Star and Ryner walked up to us. "We're actually going to get paired up into partners and it'll be like that for the four years we're here." Star told us. "How would you know such sources if I may ask?" questioning her. "I know because my brother had tapped into the databanks on his wireless computer." Ryner showed this small gadget he had. "Aren't you resourceful?" Harwyn told Ryner and rubbed his head. He quickly fixed his black hair into his liking which was to the sides and some in the front of his forehead. The gray eyes had a gleam of something but what was it. Star had suddenly sat next to me and asked, "What are you listening to?" "Just some remixes of songs." I replied. She had blue eyes and brown wavy hair. Listening to my music and I look at Harwyn. She didn't seem to talk much. Very observant like I am but I tend to question quite a bit. "Are you and Ryner related by any chance?" asking Star. "Unfortunately yes." She answered. "We're going to argue about the weapons or what?" Ryner asked frustrated. "You just need to accept that no matter what the weapon is. It's as good as the one that wields it." Star spoke wisely. "You just want me to admit your weapon is superior and nothing else." He said annoyed. "That's your assumption but whatever." Answering a little miffed.
After we parted ways and the morning came. At the lockers that chatter of people trying to team up plans. Noticing this yellow haired lady. My mind wandered a little but shook my head saying, "What was that about?" Looking myself over the mirror in the locker. My spiky black hair, brown eyes, wearing a short sleeve jacket with a gray undershirt, light brown cargo pants, and black and red high tops. Titanium burst will be strong for the initiation. Dual swords that can become one big sword and a customized shot gun with two different rounds put into it. I know I was ready. We were on platforms that would send us flying into the Emerald forest. The objective was to head to the ruins and collect a relic with the partner we made eye contact with. Simple as that and launched into the sky. Seeing the others I met soon launched as well. "Get some!" Ryner shouted as he flew out. "Whooooooo!" Star shouted out in excitement. Laughing to the things being said. To the Emerald forest we will all head. Using our own landing strategies and I wondered who'd be my partner I'd make.
