Prologue

Ozpin shuffled through the paperwork of all the new students coming to Beacon. He would occasionally set some aside, those that could not meet Beacon's qualifications. He eyed the sheet about the newest arrival, one Ruby Rose. Not even a huntress and already she had been involved in events that should not have concerned her. He somewhat regretted bringing her into his own personal battle, but he knew it was necessary. He needed a countermeasure for their enemies, and quickly, so he had taken the first one he could get. Qrow had been seething mad, of course, but had seen reason in the end. With Summer gone, this girl was their only option.

Ozpin was brought out of his thoughts by a voice, "I didn't know you'd become headmaster of Beacon Oz. Figures the first place I find you is the last place I look. Then again, why would I keep searching?"

Ozpin looked up to see a man, no more than 18, cloaked in black, the coat almost like a nobleman's or general's. He had short and messy black hair and the silver hilt of a sword was barely visibly at his waist. As far as Ozpin knew, this man had never drawn that sword. He'd never needed to, being just as dangerous without it.

"Hoid," Ozpin greeted as the man sauntered over to the desk, looking over the document on it. His eyes rested on Ruby's picture for a moment longer than the others. "Silver eyes," he noted.

Ozpin nodded. Hoid shrugged and started pacing the room, looking down at the glyphs drawn on the floor… glyphs of shardblades.

"It is nearly time, then." Ozpin said. Hoid's mere presence always seemed to signify some great change in fate.

Hoid nodded. "She's gathering her forces as we speak. The only thing we can do right now is wait for her to make the first move."

Ozpin looked at Hoid as he stopped. "They made the first move when they stole Amber's power." Hoid looked steadily at Ozpin, then nodded.

Hoid waved his hand and the perpendicularity in the office shimmered slightly. He looked back at Ozpin and grinned. "That's why you made me swear to help when I had to," he said, "Just don't forget our bargain."

Ozpin nodded again. He would never go back on his word to one like Hoid. People like that could destroy him with little effort.

Hoid stepped back through the perpendicularity and was gone, leaving Ozpin alone to his thoughts. He looked back at the documents on his desk thoughtfully and noticed something.

The one about Ruby Rose was missing.
