The moon hung over a dense forest, stars twinkled against the dark velvet of the sky.
"They let me pick, did I ever tell you that?" Pyrrhas voice echoed over the forest. "Choose whatever huntsmen I wanted" In the distance a piece broke off larger comet. "You know me, I did my research" The comet quickly arched towards the ground. "Watched as you became the warrior we needed you to be. Like the others you were strong, and swift and brave. A Natural leader" The comet suddenly deployed a kite shield dramatically slowing it's decent. "But you had something the others didn't, something no one saw but. Can you guess?" The comet sliced through the forest. "Luck" The comet smashed into the ground with explosive forest. "Was I wrong?"
Qrow stood ten feet away from the crater, his ever present flask hanging in hand. "This ain't good" A Huntsmen looked down into the crater with sadness.
"Damn" Was the only response a second could come up with.
"How far did he fall?"
"Two kilometres. Easy"
Qrow turned on the team "Stay sharp" Qrow made his way to the crater "Goremen?"
"His aura could've taken the brunt of his fall. His semblance definitely helped. I Don't know Qrow" Goremen took a step back allowing Qrow to kneel next to the unconscious Jaune Arc.
Qrow looked sadly into the unconscious features of Jaune, then took a swig of flask. "Radio the bulkhead, get a medical team. We're not leaving him here"
The huntsmen leaped back as Jaune grabbed Qrows arm and pulled himself to his feet. A Faint white glow present as his wounds healed. "No you're not" Crocea Mors collapsed onto his hip.
"Crazy fool" Qrow all but laughed. "Why do you always have to jump? One day you're going to land on something as stubborn as you are, and I don't do bits and pieces" Qrow locked eyes with Jaune. "Where is she Jaune? Where is Pyrrha?" His tone was somber.
Jaune's hand went to his weapon, anger sadness regret washed over. The last words Pyrrha had said to him still rung in his soul. 'Don't make a girl a promise, if you know you can't keep it'
"She stayed behind, Salems got her"
"Sorry sir, we just need to make sure that you're at hundred percent" He rose a flash card "Eyes up here" The field medic eyed Jaune with trepidation. But there was no outwards sign of damage. "He seems to be ok"
Jaune's eyes flicked off of the card, it was subtle. But Jaune could see the forest flicker, almost naturally. With speed that only Qrow could register Jaune was drawing his blade, and lunging at the figure. "Jaune wait" The blade froze as the illusion fell, revealing an emerald haired woman. "Emeralds with us" Qrow gently pulled down the Crocea Mors away from Emeralds neck. "Come on now" Qrow eyed the two with trepidation. "We got enough to worry about with out you two trying to kill each other"
Slowly Jaune let the blade fall to his side. "Were it so easy" Emerald stated with a crack of the neck. "We must go, the Grimm have our scent"
"And they must love the scent of huntsmen" Qrow added comedically.
