Yang saw Ruby kick all the Beowolfs and went into battle herself, stomping on one's head before firing at it, going skywards. She then was caught by three small Nevermore and brought down to the earth, hard. Quickly shaking it off and letting her Semblance charge from the blow, she went back into battle...stopping only to see something starting to fall from the sky.
As Naga fell she slowly came to. Seeing that she was falling she rolled over and seeing the ground slapped a Ray Wing spell in place and swooped down and landed with a cat tumble right at the feet of what she would later learn to be a Beowolf. The simple fact that it tried to attack her on sight allowed Naga to figure out that the black, red, and white creatures where the bad guys here so in Sorceress fashion. She started rapid casting Freeze Arrow. Each and every Grimm hit was frozen solid instantly. In less than a minute all Grimm big and small was frozen. She raised the back of her hand to partially cover her mouth with the other upon her hip. She inhaled and let loose her trademark laugh. "Ohohohoho Ohohohohohohohohohohoho!" The sheer volume and frequency high enough to cause the frozen Grimm to shatter into fine powder.
Blake winced lightly when she heard a loud sound coming from nearby, wondering who in their right mind would be laughing that loudly. Thankfully the bow she was wearing muffled the sound so that she wasn't in any danger...[Maybe its that girl's semblance?] she thought before putting it on the back burners. She was hitting Grimm, not her friends so it didn't matter...much.
Naga looked around and saw what could only be called a swarm of birds that matched the bear looking creatures and started sniping the birds from the sky with Freeze Bullets, Freeze Arrows and Demonic Crystals. Soon the sky was clear and she took to the sky and began to rain down frozen death on all of the creatures. All done with Freeze Bullets. The impacts causing them to freeze and shatter as they hit the ground.
Yang blinked as she saw someone flying and wondered how the hell she was doing that. [What in the world...] she thought before seeing her use an Ice Dust attack to freeze the Grimm that she was about to shatter with Ember Celica. "Hey! Stop Kill Stealing!" she shouted.
That moment once all the Grimm where frozen and defeated was when the huge assed Scorpion appeared. Naga saw it and how many of the other humans ran from it and landed before it and the hole in the wall and cast her Demonic Crystal spell in full. "You who crosses between sky and earth, gently flowing water, gather in my hand and give me power: DEMONIC CRYSTAL!" A high pressure wave of pure ice shot out from her hands to encase the massive Scorpion in ice. The next moment Naga cast "Spiritual Curse" causing the ground boiled up near it forming into a Golem that slammed its two hands down on it shattering it instantly. The golem then walked over to the hole and became one with the wall sealing both the hole in the wall as well as the one it came out of.
Glynda was amazed to see that this...person, had used some type of skill in order to patch up the hole that was made within the center of town. [Could she be one of the Maidens?] she thought to herself, not exactly knowing how else to explain the skills that she used in battle.
Once the battle was done. Naga found a bench and plopped down and holding her stomach as it growled louder than a whole swarm of Beowolf's. "Damn should not have done all that on an empty stomach." She exclaimed softly. She figured a crowd would form to ask questions but the size of the crowd she did not.
Yang started heading towards the crowd that was crowding around the new arrival before her scarf was grabbed. "You can ask your questions or voice your complaints later Yang," Blake said, not wanting to be around the woman any longer than necessary.
"Just who is that annoying woman anyways?" Weiss huffed out once she was with the rest of her team, resting after a well done job.
Naga looked up at the sea of people and held her stomach tighter as it growled again. Then with an effort she stood proudly and exclaimed. "My name is Naga the Serpent. Naga the White Serpent. The most powerful Sorceress where I come from. I normally would gladly accept gold for services rendered but this day I find myself in need of food more than money. Is there any place to eat around here that would offer food for gold?"
Glynda just shook her head at what the newcomer...Naga was saying. "Follow me. I'm sure there's something we can get for you" the blonde-haired woman stated. "After you eat though, I'd like you to come with me. There are many questions that need to be answered."
Naga nodded and followed the blonde her stride full of grace and pride. "While we walk feel free to ask your questions. I will try to answer them to the best of my ability as vast as that may be. I have a few questions of my own."
"Alright. First off, you said 'where you come from'. Can you expand on that?" she asked.
Naga nodded and replied with pride. "I come from a place called the Red Orb. A world that is heavy in magic. There I was a wandering Sorceress Supreme. I had a rival up till a few years ago when we parted ways and she saved the world a few times." Naga said trying to keep it simple.
"So what you were doing was your personal brand of magic, not using Dust?"
Naga looked confused at the mention of Dust. "Dust what is that? No my magic is created inside me. I have to consume vast amounts of calories to keep my magic stores and reserves full. If not then I could actually start using my life force to fuel it but that is not a very wise thing to do."
"Alright then, that makes sense. Though you may not want to advertise that you use magic, my boss will explain more once we meet with him. And to answer your question, Dust is this," at this, she pulled out a simple looking crystal. "This allows us to fight against those creatures, the Grimm, earlier. Thank you for your help with that by the way."
"What good would I have been if I had sat back and not done a thing to help. The ones fighting was obviously out numbered one hundred to one." Naga held out her hand to take a look at the Dust and the moment it touched her hand she yanked her hand back with a hiss of pain. "Ouch what the heck that burned like hell fire!" Naga exclaimed annoyed that she could not handle a magical item like this Dust.
Glynda looked confused at her reaction, surprised. "Maybe it's because you come from this 'Red Orb' planet that you can't handle pure Dust Crystals?" she pondered after seeing it. There were some cases when that was the case, but those were far and few between.
At that exact moment Naga's stomach decided to make its displeasure be known once more with a deep angry growl that almost made Naga double over in pain. Her long Midnight black hair fading a shade lighter starting to look a little gray.
"Naga?" Glynda asked in alarm.
"I used all of the magic I had between home and here. I was in a fight with a demon general when they flung me here. Then the fight with those creatures and I used everything I had. I need food and soon or I may slip unconscious and be a burden on you and everyone else." Naga replied as she held her stomach.
"Then let us get you there quickly," she commented before hastening her pace towards the Noodle Shop. Once the both of them were there, Glynda asked for two bowls of food before giving the man (who looked suspiciously like the shopkeeper where she bought her Dust supplies) a lien card.
Naga eyed the size of the bowl and sighed. "Sir I must ask. Do you accept gold in payment? If so I would be happy to pay for five of everything on your menu." Naga said slightly embarrassed.
The shopkeeper looked questionably at Glynda while eyeing the newcomer with an eyebrow raised. Thinking about it for a few seconds, he was sure that he could get it appraised and traded for Lien. And if not, he could always charge Ozpin later. "I don't see why not young miss" he said. "Five of everything?" he asked making sure he heard correctly.
"That would be correct sir." Naga replied as she reached into her cape and pulled out a coin purse and rummaged around causing a few gemstones to fall out onto the counter before managing to pull out ten gold coins each four inches in diameter and an eighth of an inch thick. All twenty-four Karat solid gold. "Do you think this will cover the meal?" Naga asked as she put the stones back minus a large Two hundred Karat Black Diamond and turned to the blonde. "Do you think this would be worth anything here?"
"That will definitely cover the meal miss," he said before taking the gold coins and putting them into the register before going to the back and starting to make the food that she requested.
"There are Jewelers here, you would have to take it to one of them. Though I have a feeling you could fetch a good amount of Lien for it. Lien is our currency, before you ask" the Dust Mage responded.
Naga looked back to her coin purse and then back to the blonde. "What is the exchange rate for gold by weight? Or Platinum for that matter?" She asked getting rather curious as her mouth watered heavily from the smell of the cooking food.
"Again, you would have to ask the jeweler. I'm just a teacher at a school that teaches how to become Hunters and Huntresses" she replied.
"I fear I have a lot to catch up on to learn about this world I find myself in. I doubt I will ever get home. So I might as well learn." Naga replied as the first bowl was placed before her and she dug in with such speed her arm was a blur yet she had the poise of a Princess.
Glynda nodded at that explanation, though she was curious as to why Naga thought it would be impossible for her to get home. However, she'd wait until after Naga finished. After a few seconds, a bowl of food was placed in front of her as well as she started to eat, though not as fast as her companion.
Once the first bowl was empty Naga pushed it aside and waited as her hair returned to the correct shade of black and she sighed and waited for her second bowl.
Glynda noticed that and raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything at the moment. Once she was finished with her first bowl, she pushed it to the side and waited for her second bowl.
"So what exactly was those things everyone was fighting? I have never seen anything like them." Naga commented as she looked over to the blonde. "By the way you never told me your name."
I'm sorry about that. My name is Glynda Goodwitch," Glynda responded. "And those thing, as a whole, are called Grimm. Each type of Grimm has a different name, but that's mostly what you were fighting. Though if you want I could give you specifics"
"Well are they some kind of demons?" Naga asked before her second bowl was placed before her and she dug in more calmly this time. Actually taking the time to enjoy the flavor as well as speak. "Specifics would be helpful. I can even tell you a little about the Red Orb as well in return."
"We're not sure what they are exactly, not specifically," Glynda said before explaining each type of Grimm that was known and what they could do.
Once the explanation was done as well as the second bowl of soup Naga went into details of her homeland. From explaining about the God of all the Lord of Nightmares to her children Ceiphied the divinity of good and the divinity of evil, Ruby Eye Shaburanigdu, Demon King of the world her world. Who had five children Deep-Sea Dolphin, Dynast Grauscherra, Greater Beast Zelas-Metallium, Chaos Dragon Gaav, and Hellmaster Fibrizo. Who had a priest and a general. While Zelas had a General Priest. "He is the one I was fighting before ending up here. His name is Xellos. There are Dragons that are of the side of good and are holy. Each of the children of Dark Lord Ruby Eye spawned beasts called Mazoku. In effect Monsters or demons."
"That...sounds a little complicated. How do you keep everything together?" Glynda asked as her second bowl came, as well as Naga's third.
"Oh quite easy to keep up with when you grow up with it. To be honest though I have a stronger grasp on it than most from home because I was a Princess before an event made me flee home and become what I am today."
"Princess? I hope I don't offend you when I ask why you dress like a pleasure girl then"
Naga got a little defensive at the comment before calming down. "Truth is my mother wore this to dance for my father. I was sixteen when she died. She died protecting me from an assassin. In my grief I took it and have worn it ever since. All because it is like she is hugging me when I wear it."
Glynda saw the slight twitch. "As I said, I didn't mean to offend you with my comment or my question. If you don't mind me asking, can you tell me what happened? I'll listen if you want to talk to me about it," she said before noticing Naga weighing it over in her mind. "I'll swear that whatever you say will not leave this stand, I promise you that much," she added.
Naga nodded at that reluctantly. "Like I said I was sixteen and had been sheltered my whole life. I was the princess of a kingdom that was truly a peaceful nation. But I digress. Shortly after my sweet sixteen an assassin named Booley attacked me in my bedroom. I screamed and ran. But my mother heard my scream and ran to my room. He was using a cat-o-nine-tails bull whip made from razor wire. Electrified by a spell called Digger Bolt. Equal to a lightning bolt. A natural Lightning bolt I might add. He was using it to flay her alive. I heard her screams and ran back. Just in time to see her fall dead. I snapped and used a spell my mother created called Chaos string to take control of the strands of the whip and turned it on him. But it was all to late. My mother was truly dead and no spell could save her." Naga said as tears flowed down her face at finally telling the story in question.
Glynda was not sure how to console the young woman, since she was a woman of discipline rather than sympathy at most times, but she would try since it called for it in this type of situation. "I...I am sorry to hear that you had to witness something as horrible as that. From what I have heard though...mother's always protect their children no matter the cost and she protected you from this assassin, even with such a terrible price."
Naga looked Glynda in the eyes and nodded. "Now you can see and maybe understand why I needed this outfit of my mothers to stay sane for all the years since then. I was sixteen then but am now pushing thirty-five."
"You've been dealing with that baggage for that long?" she asked, surprised.
Naga simply nodded her head. "Once a year I get as hammered as possible to not feel the pain. Then again one week out of every month I have to do the same as well. You see that night left me with another scar. I faint at the sight of blood. Even a small drop. So when that time comes around I can not take care of myself till the flow is gone and dried up."
"You said you had a friend/rival in Red Orb. Could she help with your time of the month?" Glynda asked, not sure if she knew about such items that could help with it like they did in Remnant.
"She actually ditched me every chance she got because I made her life rather difficult. Though when we worked together it was like a form of magic all its own. But no she would not have helped me if I had asked." Naga said as she polished off her third bowl of soup and was still no where near full.
"Well, the good news is that Remnant has items that can help you deal with that problem during that particular time of the month. I can help you buy things after we meet up with Ozpin, my boss" she replied before she finished up with her second bowl of soup
"We had what the kids called pads back home. But even those I am unable to take care of till the flow is done. I literally faint at the sight of even a single drop of blood unless it is dry."
"So is that the reason why you use Ice magic instead of other attacks? So you don't have to see the sight of blood from your opponents?"
"That is correct. Ice freezes the enemy solid. If broken no blood is seen. That way I can keep fighting. Though I have mastery over healing magic as well as earth and shamanism. Especially when it comes to the spell Ra Tilt. It burns the soul of the target destroying it and the body leaving only ash."
Glynda nodded as she listened to what the young woman could do as she finished eating.
"I have six ice spells four earth spells involving golems. Several shamanism spells. Two flight spells. The list goes on and on. When it comes to battle with magic I am a force to be reckoned with. But I do have a time of weakness. During the time I have my time of the month my magic vanishes. It is tied to my reproductive system."
"That's actually surprising to tell you the truth. So...what would happen if you got pregnant? Would you lose your magic for those nine months?" Glynda asked, curious. "You don't have to answer if you think it's too personal" she quickly added.
"More than that actually. For the nine months and up to a year after. Then it comes back. I have actually heard that when it comes back it is even stronger more potent than before the pregnancy." Naga said as she dug into two bowls back to back happily.
Glynda waited until after Naga finished her two bowls before asking why one's magic would be stronger after having a child and why it took so long to come back.
"The reason for the time to return was debated. My thoughts are that with the hormones running through the new mothers body suppress the magic's return while as for the stronger think of it like new skin. the new skin is healthier than the skin before. So with the womb and everything almost new compared to before the pregnancy it allows better pathways for the magic to flow. It is like a rewiring of the system."
"I guess that makes sense."
For a while Naga simply ate more than willing to answer any questions Glynda may have for her.
Glynda pulled out her scroll and looked over a few things, scowling lightly at the headlines from today's attack.
Naga was suddenly very interested. "Oh what is that thing-a-ma-bob? Don't have anything like that by a long shot back home."
"Scrolls?" Glynda asked, wanting to make sure that was what Naga was asking about.
"Yes that thing there in your hand. That is extremely advanced compared to my home. What does it do?"
"A lot of things honestly," she said before going into a small explanation as how it could be used as a communication device, a way to measure one's Aura among several other things
"Aura? You mean the ring of energy around you that tells what kind of person you are? The thing that shows each and every good and bad choice you ever made? I can see those without that thing."
"Really now? That's...interesting. And the scroll more or less measures how much Aura we have left at any given time. When it's better to be a little reckless or when it's better to take a more defensive approach. For you and your teammates"
"Oh I see so what does it say about me?" Naga asked curiously.
"It only works with you and your teammates, not any random person unfortunately," she explained. "You would have to get one for yourself to see what it says about you"
"Oh I see." Naga said a little sad that she was going to have to wait. With that the last of her bowls where brought out and Naga dug in with a will.
"Sorry I couldn't help you with that. Now then, why don't you finish your meal while I make a call to Ozpin so that he knows to expect the two of us?" she suggested.
Naga nodded as she chowed down once more with the speed from her first bowl of soup. Once the last bowl was empty shi patted her full belly and sighed. "Question what is the outlook on belching after a great meal like that? I do not want to insult anyone by doing so if it is frowned upon or by not doing so when it is a sign of how good the meal is."
"It is considered impolite to do so here," Glynda answered after pressing the end button to end the call with her boss. "But I am glad that you enjoyed the meal. In the future, a simple 'Thanks for the meal' will be considered gratitude enough," she explained.
Naga turned to the cook and nodded. "Thank you for the wonderful meal. It really hit the spot." With that she stood and pulled her cape around to the front and stuck her head into the hollow and let loose a thunderous belch yet outside the cape no one heard a thing. She pulled her head free and smiled. "So Glynda my friend please lead the way."
"You are quite welcome young miss. Please come again in the future," the chef said before the two of them left.
Glynda nodded as she lead the way. "I do have another question if you don't mind me asking it"
Naga nodded. "Sure what can I answer for you?" Naga asked as she looked over to Glynda with a warm kind smile.
"Is your hair tied to your magic as well? I noticed that it changed from normal to a dull gray color."
"No it is tied to my life force. As you saw it turn gray that meant that I had started tapping into my life force. The color to watch out for is snow white. That is a really bad sign. That means I am about tapped out of life and magic. "
"I will keep that in mind then," she replied before something came to her mind. "Back in Red Orb, was there any type of discrimination?"
Naga shook her head negative. "None at all. Men could marry men same for women. Beastmen could marry humans just the same. We did have issues with bandits but what world does not?"
Glynda laughed lightly at that. "True. Though we call them 'thieves' instead of bandits. But the reason I ask is because of a sub species of humans called the Faunus. For no reason other than they look different from us, they are looked down upon."
"I honestly think it's stupid but some humans don't think that way sadly."
"That is a shame. They are people just as much as you and I. Here is the big question. Can they have kids with people like you and I? If they can then they are people."
"Yes they can and I'm glad that you think that way. There is...a team that likes to bully people, human and Faunus alike sadly. We've tried curbing their tendencies but some people you just sadly cannot change," she explained as they came up to the school building.
"Yes sadly that is the case. There are some people back home like that but they are in the major minority. Unless you count the Mazoku and Dragons. They hate each other so much they have had wars that lasted thousands of years and they still fight when they see one another."
Glynda just shook her head at that. "Well, here we are, Beacon Academy. Home sweet home," she said with a light smile.
Naga smiled and followed her inside. "So where is this Ozpin located? From what I can see this is a huge school."
"It is actually. And Ozpin is in the highest tower looking over all. It does make sense since he's the Headmaster here"
Naga looked up to the location she said. "You do realize I could fly us up there and set us on the balcony with ease right?"
Glynda thought about it for a few seconds before nodding. "He did say as soon as possible..."
Naga held out her hand. "All you have to do is take my hand and what ever you do. Till we land. Do NOT let go."
"I assume letting go means the spell is no longer affecting me and I'll fall?"
"You would be correct. But if that was to happen I would catch you before you fell to far." Naga said as she cast her Raywing spell and lifted an inch off the ground hand still extended.
"I would certainly hope so, but I won't let go," she responded before taking Naga's hand and clasping it tightly.
The moment Naga closed her hand around hers she lifted off the ground as well. Naga waited a moment to let Glynda get used to the feeling before raising up in the air at a quick rate of speed.
It took a few seconds for Glynda to get use to the fact that her feet weren't on the ground. Once she got over that fact, she nodded to let Naga know that she was ready to go. Once that happened, they were up in the air.
In moments Naga had flown up to Ozpin's balcony and sat them down gently and let go of her hand with a smile.
"Thank you Naga" Glynda responded before opening the balcony doors so that her friend could enter the office.
Naga smiled and walked inside and waited for Glynda to announce her to Ozpin.
"Ozpin, as requested, our guest is here," Glynda said as a the man with spectacles turned around, surprised that they appeared so quickly. However he quickly masked his surprise as he reached for his cane and stood up, extending his hand.
Naga took the offered hand in a hand shake. "My name is Naga the White Serpent. It is a pleasure to meet you finally Mr. Ozpin." She said with a regal tone of voice.
"Likewise Ms. Serpent. I want to extend my thanks to you for helping us in a time of need," Ozpin replied sincerely. "Glynda here told me a little about yourself and that you are from a different world entirely."
"Please just call me Naga. I am going on Thirty-five I am not so old as to be called Ms. anything yet. If you must call me Ms. something then Ms. Seyruun. My full birth name is Gracia ul Naga Seyruun. But I prefer Naga."
"Alright then Naga," Ozpin replied with a soft smile
"So I was told you would have some questions for me?" Naga said with ease as she shook his hand before releasing it and stepping back.
"I do actually," Ozpin stated. "Glynda said that you don't have any means of getting back to your home world. Is that true?"
"Yes that is true. I was cast here by a General Priest of a Dark lords kid. I do not know the spell used nor how much power was needed. Without that knowledge or knowledge to cross dimensions there is zero chance of going home. I may be powerful but even I do not have that much finesse. Even if I could open a portal. There is no guarantee that it would be to My home."
"I see. It would be a gamble at best then, something I assume you don't want."
"That would be very correct." Naga said as she sat down in an overstuffed chair with a sigh. "That also means that only the one who sent me here would be able to come over but something tells me that will not happen. He wanted me out of his hair. So he would not come here to try to take over with me here."
"That's good to know. I do not want to think of a catastrophe of such a level"
"Neither do I Ozpin. Considering I only have a few spells that could hurt him. None that could kill him either. You see they exist on the Astral Plane. The body you see in this world is not really them. So you see my problem. Thankfully they are not coming here."
"Indeed. Seeing as we usually don't fight on the spiritual side of things, that fight would go pretty bad for all of this"
"Yes it would. So any other questions for me? I know I have a few myself that Glynda said I should ask you."
Before Ozpin could ask any questions, the door opened and in walked a man wearing white. One could easily tell he was part of a military. In his hand was a pistol, something that he was ready to use at a moment's notice. "Ozpin, you can't seriously be this trusting of this woman" he exclaimed
Naga being as wise as she is chose to not speak and only quirked an eyebrow at the rude comment. Her eyes keeping a close eye on the pistol in his hand.
"And why shouldn't I give my trust to this young lady here?" Ozpin asked calmly. "And put that away. There is no need of it here," he said with the same tone of voice. However, with the calm voice also came a stern undertone.
Naga nodded at the comment. "Sir I am no threat to you or anyone here. When I arrived I saw a battle and took steps at great risk to my own life to end the fight. Not one person was hit by me and only the Grimm as I have been told they are called was attacked. I single handedly destroyed them and sealed up the breach they was coming in through. I did not do it for glory I did it because it was the right thing to do."
"How do you know that she wasn't the cause of it? Only helping so that the blame couldn't be placed on her"
"Really James?" Glynda commented, surprised at his amount of paranoia when it came to Naga.
"At the accusation a stress mark appeared over her left eye. It was with great difficulty that she kept her voice calm and neutral. "Sir the portal that dumped me here appeared long after the fight had broken out and the breach in the wall had appeared. I had no idea what was going on for several minutes as I was unconscious from being blasted in the face by my worlds version of a high level demon. I would be grateful if you would stop slandering the name of a Princess from another world."
Ironwood thought about that for a few seconds, keeping an eye on her as she spoke, noticing nothing out of the ordinary when one told the truth. Sighing lightly, he put his pistol away.
"I thank you sir. I do not wish to escalate things to a fight. That would be unfair and dangerous to you." Naga said softly as she turned back to Ozpin. "You was about to ask another question before James you said his name is entered. Feel free to ask anything you may need to ask. I will not hide anything from you."
"Would you be willing to show us your skills?" Ozpin asked. After that, he would determine whether or not it would be a good idea to ask her to become a Guardian.
"I would. Some of them sadly have to have a living target so I would be unable to show those. But most of them I would be able to show with ease. When I say a living target I say that because they are Lethal that is why I would not be able to show them. Unless it was against a Grimm or a dozen Grimm."
"Understandable. Unfortunately, no one can control or tame the Grimm so those skills we will just take your word for it," Ozpin stated.
Naga nodded at that. "That is understandable. As for displaying my other skills Glynda here can already vouch for one of them. My Raywing spell. Raywing is a flight spell with a maximum speed fast enough to cause two loud explosions at set speeds. I know not the terms for this event or what the concussive blasts of air mean."
"That means you are breaking the sound barrier. Two blasts of air...you must be going at least Mach 2 at your fastest," Ironwood commented, impressed.
Naga nodded at that still not sure what any of that meant. "The second flight spell is more for carrying cargo over long distance. The speed is much, much slower but I can stay air born for much longer. As for my combat spells I do have a few that are non-lethal and can be shown against a live person with no injury."
"Oz...what about the training dummies? Think Naga could use those to show us her spells?" Glynda suggested as she just remembered putting those in last month.
"How well do they hold up to being frozen solid or smashed by a giant stone fist?" Naga asked curious about this turn of events.
"The giant stone fist is debatable, but they were able to withstand Weiss Schnee's full out Ice storm. They thawed out a couple hours later. If a Dust mage of her caliber can freeze them and they're fine, I'm pretty sure they can take on your ice spells"
"Sir one of my Ice spells completely froze a huge giant scorpion solid to the point that it getting hit caused it to shatter."
"By getting hit do you mean that laugh of yours?"
"No while I did use the Spiritual Curse spell to summon the stone golem to shatter it that was summoned more to be used to seal the hole in the wall. Truth be told a simple feather landing on the scorpion would have shattered it."
"I see," Ozpin commented as he looked onward, curious.
"So when shall we do this show of my abilities? One of them I can show right now if James would be willing to be the target. The spell in question will cause you no harm what so over."
"You are one hundred percent sure it causes no harm?" James asked, skeptical
"Yes one million percent sure it causes zero harm. Plus if you can figure out how to escape it then you will have my props." Naga replied with a smug grin. Not expecting him to be able to figure it out.
"Alright then, if you're so sure," he replied, actually a little curious as to what she had in mind...
With reflexes the likes of which none had seen before Naga called out "Shadow Snap!" sending a small dagger to embed its self into his shadow behind him freezing him in place and unable to move even an inch.
"Interesting," Ozpin said as he instantly noticed that James couldn't move at all from where he was standing. "So this spell of yours I assume has weaknesses, but I won't ask since I want James to figure it out for himself. But is that all it can do? Immobilize?" he asked
"That is its full and only purpose is to lock down the target for what ever the case may be. Either for escape or to lock down a slippery enemy for a guaranteed hit from an attack. Unless its weakness is known and used they are at your mercy." Naga said with a smug grin. "Oh he can talk by the way."
"Seems like a useful spell. I can already think of two particular students who would definitely hate it," Ozpin said with a light laugh. As this was going on, James kept silent as he tried figuring out what the weakness of the spell was. It had to do something with the dagger...
"I got it! I may not be able to reach it, but if you can change your shadow, or let it disappear then so does the spell" James exclaimed with a grin on his face.
"Very good James. Very observant of you." Naga walked over to the dagger and cast a small "Lighting" Spell creating a small ball of light around the dagger and pulling it free. "Though a word to the wise. Just pulling the dagger free without disrupting the shadows around it not really advised. That will hurt badly. Not fatal or long lasting but equal to running full speed and stubbing you little toe on a metal bar. but over every square inch of your body for an hour."
"That bad?" Glynda asked, curiously.
"Yes I learned that one the hard way. I had been running from my rival and she Shadow Snapped me next to my hand and I yanked the dagger free. Big mistake. I hit the ground like a ton of bricks."
"Bet that was fun," James commented, feeling a little better about moving his body again.
"Yeah not really. Lina descended on me and beat me black and blue and bloody. All because I had taken a single gold coin from her and ran."
"A single gold coin?" Ozpin asked, raising an eyebrow
Naga fetched four coins from her coin pouch and tossed them to Ozpin. "You got to understand that back home there are four grades of currency. Copper is the lowest amount. Silver is next up in value. Ten copper equal to one silver. Gold is next. Twenty silver equals one gold. Last is Platinum. One hundred Gold equals one Platinum. So that one gold coin would feed and shelter us both for a week at an Inn."
"Ah. Now it makes sense."
"I have heard that you have a different currency here. I will need to exchange mine for this Lein is it?" Naga asked not sure about the name.
"That is the name of the currency here, yes," he replied calmly, glad that she had caught on quickly to some of the terminology
"Well any idea as to whom I need to speak to get my coins and gems exchanged?" The thought then came to her. "I do have one gem I am wondering if it would be valuable or not." With that she pulled free the Two Hundred KARAT black diamond and sat it on the table before Ozpin and James.
James's eyes instantly widened at such a gemstone. Sure Remnant had it odd share of jewelry and gemstones, but nothing like what she had taken out of her cape. He almost made an attempt at it before remembering who he was and where he was at. Besides, he was no thief...unlike the one that was currently in his clutches at the moment.
"I do know of a place, if you don't mind Glynda showing you the way?" Ozpin asked. He didn't want her getting lost after all.
"James I saw that look. I am guessing it is very rare to see a Black Diamond of this size with zero flaws?" Naga asked teasing him. "Another few questions I was wondering if you three could answer. First it seems I have a very violent reaction to Dust. When I tried touching Dust it felt like I had placed my hand in Hell Fire. Is there a reason this happened? Second I was wondering if it would be possible to either be scanned by a scroll or get one of my own. Third what is the deal with housing. In other words where will I be staying?"
"Yes, very rare. In fact I know someone who would gladly get his hands dirty in order to try getting something along those lines," James responded honestly before going silent again. The answers that Naga was searching for would probably be answered by Ozpin himself.
"Hm...I have a theory as to why you cannot use Dust, and it stems from your magic. Glynda told me that it was connected to your life force whereas Dust is not. Dust is an outside force that we use our Aura, our body's natural energy, to activate more often than not. Touching Dust...I think your magic thought it was an outside force of energy trying to invade your body and reacted accordingly.
For your second and third questions, I can easily get you a scroll, shouldn't be too hard as the Headmaster of this Academy. Which ties into your third question. If you want, you can stay here for the time being, though if you do I would like to also ask if you'd become a teacher here, or at least an aide to someone. There are also Inns and other places to live if you do not wish to do so, I will not force you"
"Well when it comes to the aide or teacher. I am not sure if I would be of use. As I can not use Dust that may also mean that the students would be unable to learn my magic. I know that I am much older than the students but I was wondering if I could take classes here so I can learn about this world."
"I don't see why not, if that is what you wish. That will also solve your other concerns. All students are given a scroll and a dorm room upon enrolling here. Though there within lies the problem, should I give you your own room or add you to an existing team. I can't have you take initiation since it's second semester and not second year"
"How do the teams work? Is there a set number to the team?"
"Usually four members to a team, but there have been few exceptions over the years. And the members of the said team share the dorm room for the four years they are here. They also take missions with professional hunter and huntresses as practice for when they do the real thing."
"Well do either of you have any more questions for me?"
"I have no more questions for you Naga"
"Then if Glynda here would be so kind as to lead me to the exchange I will leave you two to find me a team to join and all that is needed."
"I will gladly lead you there then" Glynda stated. "But should we exit your way or the normal way?" she asked.
"Since there is no time crunch that I am aware of the normal way should be fine unless you want to fly again." Naga said with a smile.
"If you don't mind, I would like to fly again" Glynda responded truthfully.
Naga grinned and picked Glynda up bridal style and opened the door and cast her Raywing spell and lifting off the floor and flying out into the air. "Okay what way and I hope they have enough Lien."
Glynda meeped in surprise before blushing heavily. Before she could say anything to James or Ozpin about it, the two of them left the office. Once in the night air, Glynda started directing her to the jeweler that she knew of.
With the directions Naga flew to the Jewelers and touched down gently and set Glynda back on her feet. "After you dear."
"You are having way to much fun with this," Glynda said once her feet touched the ground. After that, she walked into the establishment with Naga following afterwards.
Naga chuckled softly as she followed Glynda. "I will let you open the conversation if you please. Never had to do something like this before."
"Sure thing" Glynda responded. "Why hello Dorothy, just the person I was looking for," she said with a smile
Naga looked on as the conversation started and she began pulling coin pouch after coin pouch out till thirty filled to near bursting was sat on the counter before her. On the inside she was a train wreck. Here she was giving away all her wealth and hoping she got back more or at least the same value in return. Her greedy side was at war with her mind.
"Glynda, is your friend alright?" Dorothy asked as she saw the many bags of...gold coins? being pulled out from her cape. "I assume there's a story here behind all of this?" she turned back to the blonde, raising an eyebrow at one of her long time friends.
"Yes I came here from somewhere so far away that I will never be able to return so I want to exchange my currency for the local currency. I have coins made of Copper, Silver, Gold, and platinum. I have many thousand gemstones and one in particular that I have been told may be worth a small fortune." Naga then placed the Black Diamond on the counter before Dorothy.
"Holy crap...Is that what I think it is?" Dorothy asked, amazed.
"A Two Hundred Karat flawless Black Diamond? Yes it is in fact." Naga said softly.
"That's impressive. Where did you find it?" she asked, curious.
"Took it off of a Bandit Gang ten years ago. The owners had been killed and so I kept it."
"I see. And while I do trust you since Glynda seems to trust you, which is quite a feat I might add,"
"Dorothy..." Glynda said warningly.
"I'd like to make sure it's actually authentic."
"Feel free it can cut glass and even other diamonds."
Dorothy placed a pair of gloves on her hands before heading to the Black Diamond. "May I?" she asked.
"Go right ahead. I know it is a princess cut. Flawless clarity and its color is D.
"Wow, you really know your stuff miss," Dorothy said before carefully picking up the diamond. "I'll be right back," she said before heading into the backroom. "Toto!" she shouted.
Naga looked to Glynda. "So what was with the warning growl and who is Toto?"
"Dorothy and I go way back, I'm technically her guardian actually," Glynda answered. "And Toto is a friend of hers. He's a dog Faunus though if you ask me, I think he's more than just a friend"
"I see. Well nothing wrong with that in my book."
"I figured you would say something along those lines," Glynda said with a light laugh.
"Well I'll be. Has a Grimm been tamed because I think I just heard the strict, and by the books, Glynda Goodwitch laugh," a male voice said as he came from the back, his black dog ears perked up in amusement.
Naga reached her hand out. "You must be Toto. I am Naga the White Serpent. It is a pleasure to meet you."
Toto took the offered hand and shook it. "White Serpent?" he asked, confused.
Naga leaned forward and pointed to her tiara. "The White Serpent is my family crest back home."
"Ah. That makes sense then," Toto commented. "I must admit that this gemstone is quite exquisite" he admitted.
"Well I am glad to hear that. Now onto the other sundries here. Let us get a final tally shall we?" Naga asked as she started emptying the bags and sorting it all into piles on a stone top counter.
Toto looked over everything with a fine eye before thinking it over. "Everything here comes to 10 billion Lien. That includes the commissioner's fee for Dorothy and myself" he said.
Naga choked at first. That was far more than what it was worth back home. "Where do I sign?"
"You sign right here," Toto said before showing the papers to Naga. "You are free to read over the papers but everything is in order"
Naga did just that. She went over the papers with a fine toothed comb and once done she happily signed. "So how much was that Diamond worth anyway Toto?"
"A normal one would fetch forty million. What you brought was easily 400 million" Toto responded.
Naga's eyes bulged. "Back home the best I was offered was five Platinum for it!" She was shocked completely at this.
"A flawless black Diamond was worth five platinum?" Glynda asked, shocked.
"Yes back home they are not that rare." Naga replied softly.
"I see. Well they are definitely rare in Remnant" Toto explained.
"I can tell. So now all that needs to happen is the exchange of the Lien since you now have all the metal, and stones I had."
"Of course," Toto said. "Dorothy will take care of that for you Naga."
"It has been a pleasure to meet you Toto. Take good care of her now you hear?" Naga said with a knowing wink.
Toto blushed lightly at that. "I always do" he replied.
"Just let me know when the wedding is Toto, that's all I ask," Glynda commented, causing the dog faunus to blush more.
"Agreed. I want to be there." Naga said with a smile as she reached into her cape and pulled out two extravagant rings made of something more valuable than Platinum. The rings are made from Rhodium and actually already the right size for Toto and Dorothy. "Take these as my gift to you."
Toto shook his head at that but took the two rings all the same. "Thank you" he said. Now all he had to do was find a priest who wasn't biased against Faunus and then he would be set...right after asking Dorothy. As Naga went to the register with the paperwork, Glynda stayed back for a few seconds.
"Just remember Toto. You break her heart and they won't find the body"
As Naga filled out the papers and turned them over she waited on the pay out as she listened in to Glynda and Toto's conversation. "I have to agree with her Toto."
"Guys..." Dorothy commented, shaking her head.
"What do you know something about Glynda I do not? Cause the only male here I know of is Toto."
Glynda blushed a bright red at what Naga was implying.
"You know what I mean Naga"
"No I do not Dorothy. Back home it is not rare for a woman to be born with both genitals."
"It's an expression. But seriously, stop teasing Toto"
"Okay fine. Just know that it is not so back home."
"I'll keep that in mind" she responded.
Naga turned back to Dorothy as she waited for the pay out.
Dorothy gave Naga two cards. "Each card has five billion lien on it, make sure not to lose them," she said sternly, emulating her guardian.
Naga nodded and placed them in her cape hollow. "It has been a pleasure doing business with you." Naga looks at her closely and smiles wide. "Toto you may want to hurry on that." "Congratulations twins." Naga whispered to Dorothy.
"Wait, what?" Dorothy asked, shocked and surprised. Glynda had already left the shop when Naga said that so she hadn't heard. Once Naga exited the shop; however, Glynda raised an eyebrow.
"Glynda you may want to look into getting baby shower gifts for Dorothy. She is having twins a boy and a girl."
"First, how do you know? And second, give me a good reason why I shouldn't march back in there and neuter Toto," Glynda asked.
Because he loves her and is planning to marry her as soon as he finds an unbiased priest. Second I used a little magic when I noticed her smell was off and a blend of her and Toto wafted across my nose."
"Alright, fine. But I want her to get a pregnancy test all the same"
Something tells me she will."
Glynda nodded before sighing lightly. "I think I need a drink...and if Qrow just heard that, he'd laugh"
Naga smiled and reached into her cape and pulled out a bottle. "This here is Zephilian Brandy. Stoutest Brandy you are likely to ever taste. By the way who is Qrow?"
"Qrow...is a friend. You'll probably meet him sooner rather than later to be honest. He's a complete drunk but he's a competent Hunter all the same"
"Somehow I get the feeling he will be hitting on me and I don't swing that way." Naga said as she pulled the cork and took a swig and "PWAH!" From the taste and punch. She then offered the bottle to Glynda. "Care for a drink?"
"You don't...You mean you're a lesbian?" Glynda asked, more surprised than anything else
"Yes I am. The result of a brutal gang rape. A band of Bandits found me during that time of the month and passed me around for the next four days. After that they all died horribly. Though not at my hands. Lina found me while sweeping for bandits. Saw the state I was in and exploded."
"I...I see." was all that she said on the subject.
Naga offered the bottle once more to Glynda after taking another pull as they walked back to campus.
Glynda took the bottle before taking a light sip of it, coughing lightly after the liquid went down her throat.
"So how is it? A taste from my home land. Well almost I am from Seyruun. This comes from Lina's homeland."
"It's strong," she replied after she stopped coughing.
"Yeah but when you need to get hammered this is the best for you to do so on. No Hangovers the next day."
"No hangovers, really?"
"Yep. That is why I enchanted this bottle to never go dry. It was something about this batch that had that effect. Hence why it is my go to drink. Now if I do not care about the next morning I have something with a bit more punch to it."
"Then keep both away from Qrow, he'd try drinking both bottles dry" Glynda commented
"The second might kill him if he tried. Seyruun Moonless shine. Two hundred proof and as pure as possible."
Glynda whistled lightly at that before they made their way back to the Academy.
Naga took another big swig before corking it and putting it back in her cape and followed Glynda the long way back to Ozpin's office.
Glynda led Naga to the office once again. "You ready to find out your fate?" she asked.
As ready as I ever will be Glynda." Naga said as she walked through the door with Glynda in tow.
"Just the ladies we were talking about" Ozpin said with a smile. "Were you able to get everything done?" he asked.
"Newest Multi-Billionaire in Remnent." Naga replied with a smirk.
"It was nice seeing Dorothy and Toto again" Glynda said with a smile.
"So what is my fate oh Great and Powerful and Wise Oz." Naga said dramatically.
Ozpin chuckled lightly at that. "Just for the record, you aren't the first one to call me that. There is something else we want to talk to you about as well. But first, your team. You shall be joining Team RWBY and they are being made aware of this now."
"May I ask who the members are and what they look like?" Naga asked before looking curious. "What is this other thing you wished to ask me?"
Ozpin nodded before pulling up each member on his scroll and showing her a picture of each member. "Ruby Rose, 15. While she's somewhat of a klutz, she means well. She was allowed early entry for being a Silver Eye Warrior...something I hope that she never has to unlock. She's also here early due to being a prodigy with her scythe and trained by her Uncle Qrow Brawnwen"
"The same Qrow that I mentioned earlier" Glynda added.
Naga nodded. "Okay she is cute. Jail bait but cute. Next member."
"Next is Weiss Schnee. Heiress of the Schnee Dust Company. Prideful and completely studious. Her company has rumors surrounding it when it comes to treating it's Faunus members but she is hoping to change that. You might have a challenge with her" Ozpin said honestly.
"Her older sister is actually part of my military, it's why Weiss is the heiress and not her older sister, Winter" James added. "If you want, I can give you her personal scroll number so that you can call and talk to her if you want"
"I would like to see this Winter if you please before moving on to the next team member."
"Sure thing," Ironwood said before showing a picture of his lieutenant
"So that is the Ice Queen? Yeah she wouldn't stand a chance against me."
Ironwood looked confused but a small smile graced Glynda's face at that. Though a small frown graced her features as well at that. [Huh? what was that all about] she thought to herself.
Naga summoned up her power into a Freeze Arrow but did not fire it. "I can shoot the nuts off of a mosquito in flight from a thousand yards and not even ruffle the pecker." Naga commented with pride.
"That is actually quite impressive Naga," James said, surprised. "Perhaps Winter could learn a thing or two from you," he said with a laugh
"Maybe. So who else is on this team? I remember seeing Weiss in the battle but only briefly"
"The next member of the team is a little on the reclusive side. She also doesn't want to bring the fact that she is a Cat Faunus to light either, not trusting humanity. Blake Belladonna was also once a member of the White Fang terrorist group, but back in its early days. James, you utter a world of that to anyone and I will flay you alive, understood?" he asked, deadly serious. "She's also an avid reader," Ozpin said before showing Naga a picture of Blake Belladonna without her ribbon on. "I'm only telling you this since the other members know as well from last semester"
"I have no issues what so ever with her being a Faunus."
"Good to hear. Just know that she's protective of her friends. Thankfully both Weiss and Blake aired out there differences last semester. I assume it had something to do with the battle at the docks last semester, but they won't specifically tell me any details. I assume it's because Blake doesn't want to give up any of her old friends in the White Fang but that's only a theory" he added.
Naga nodded in understanding. "Okay that is three so far who is the fourth?"
"Someone that needs Blake's personality as a balance. That girl is way too rambunctious," Glynda muttered.
Naga looked at Glynda confused. "Oh do tell dear." Naga replied with a grin and a wink.
Glynda blushed lightly at that. "Yang Xiao Long, Ruby Rose's half sister. Extremely outgoing and never letting anything faze her. She also loves making bad puns. Just there are two rules concerning Yang; mess with her hair or her younger sister and she'll come after you with her Semblance active"
"What does this Yang look like exactly?" Naga asked with a smile.
"This is what she looks like," Ozpin stated while showing her a picture of Yang
"Oh no. That could be a problem." Naga sighed. "I sorta stole a kill from her and she made it clear she did not like a Kill stealer."
"Then it might be a good idea to apologize to her for that," Ozpin suggested. "Also that laugh of yours...I would suggest bringing it out only in battle against Grimm and the White Fang" he added.
"Yes I can see why my laugh would work against the White Fang. So what was this other thing you wanted to discus?"
"Wait, Ozpin...you plan on making her a Guardian as well?" Glynda asked, surprised.
"I do," Ozpin stated before telling Naga what being a Guardian entailed, along with the Four Maidens.
"Color me intrigued. Do I have to have an answer now?" Naga asked softly. "This request is asking a lot of me."
"No, you do not. However, I ask that you keep this information to yourself. If people knew what I just told you..." he stated, leaving it open ended since he believed that she could connect the rest of the dots.
"It could be very bad." Naga concluded. "Worry not my lips are sealed."
"Thank you"
"You are very welcome. So about my Scroll?" Naga asked excited.
Ozpin laughed at that before giving the sorceress a scroll. "Make sure not to lose that. It also allows you access into the dorm room. I'm sure you will also meet Team JNPR as well, the other candidate for your team placement. The two teams are actually quite friends"
"Well that is good to hear." Naga opened her scroll and after a few moments managed to get it to scan herself and she stared at it heavily confused. "Uh a little help understanding this here?"
"Sure thing," Glynda said before moving close to Naga. "What do you need help with?"
"None of this makes any sense to me. It says my Aura I scored at Ninety-five thousand and my Semblance is N/A."
"The Aura is probably your Magic levels since it's similar. Since you don't have a Semblance, or a specialized skill, it states it as N/A
"So that means as my Magic builds it will go higher? Cause I am no where near at full power. That will take a few days."
"Correct"
"This shall be very interesting when the tournaments come up at the very least." Naga said with a smirk.
Glynda nodded in agreement. "Anymore questions Naga?"
"Yes I do have another question but that is for later and away from prying ears Glynda. Until then would you be so kind as to lead me to my dorm room?"
"Sure thing," Glynda said, curious as to what Naga's question could be.
Naga opened the door for Glynda and waved her through and shut the door behind her. Once out in the hall and away from prying ears Naga turned to Glynda and asked. "I know this is sudden but would you do me the extreme honor of going out on a date with me?"
"You...You see me in that way?" Glynda asked, shocked.
"Yes you are beautiful. Have a sharp mind. Not only that but I was able to open up to you about things I have never spoken about to anyone before. I feel a connection to you and want to explore it with you if you are interested."
Glynda thought about it for a few seconds before figuring what did she have to lose. "Alright then, but just to let you know that if this does turn into a relationship that you won't get any special privileges just because you're dating me" she explained.
"I would not dream of it Glynda. I am just glad for the chance you are giving me. Lets swap scroll numbers this way we can talk details and such." With that Naga waved Glynda forward. "Time to meet my team mates."
"Give me your scroll for a few seconds, I'll place my number in it for you," she said
Naga handed her scroll to Glynda with a smile. "So would this be a first for you? Dating a female?"
"It would be actually. I dated James in the past and Ozpin and I are just friends" she answered.
"Then you are in for a treat. I do the whole wine and dine. Dinner and a movie followed by dancing and long romantic walks in the moon light."
"Sounds fun," she said before giving Naga back her device. "My numbers, I labeled which one is personal and which one is for after class help. I also added Ozpin's number in case you had questions for him or wanted to answer that particular question of his. And my number is in yours. Now then, are you ready to meet your roommates?"
"As I ever will be. This going to be like Lina all over again in some ways. Lina was twelve and I was Nineteen when we met and started traveling together. We stopped however when she was fourteen."
"Well actually...there is one question I'd like to ask before you meet the four." She would wait to ask more about Lina, especially since it sounded like she had fond memories of the girl.
"Oh what would you like to ask hun?" Naga asked curiously.
"Do you have any feelings towards Yang? I know you said you were a lesbian and she has turned heads, both male and female" Glynda asked, honestly curious.
"Not even close. She is way to young. Plus I like my women older. They know what they want out of life and are less childish." Naga replied truthfully.
"I see," Glynda said before letting Naga open the door
Naga scanned her scroll to open the door and walked into the room. "Hello everyone I am Naga the White Serpent and I will be your new teammate. I want to apologize to you all for my behavior in the battle. Yang sorry for kill stealing. Blake sorry about your ears when I laughed. Weiss, Ruby if I offended or caused insult I apologize. I hope we can be friends and work well together."
"Just...try not to do it again" Yang stated, placing her game on pause. She had a feeling her sister would want to learn more about their new teammate.
"Just...be careful about it in the future. They're sensitive," Blake replied before sighing lightly, having a feeling that Ruby would want to get to know more about Naga. Truth be told, she was quite curious herself about her.
Naga nodded as she looked around the room and found a good spot and reached into her cape and pulled out a hammock that she attached to the wall with special magic Once it was set she floated up and lay down with a sigh. Her sword, boots, gloves, and shoulder guards was placed into her cape hollow and it was placed over her like a blanket. "No sweat I will be happy to let you do your own kills Yang and Blake I will do my best. If there is a battle and it is likely you can always use these earplugs. They keep everything of high sound from hitting your ears." Naga said as she tossed a small pair of ear plugs to Blake.
Blake caught them from midair and undid her bow before placing them in her ears. She was surprised at how well they fit and decided to keep them in. "Thank you...Naga, right?" she asked, wanting to make sure she got it right.
"Yes Naga is correct. You are welcome. So who wants to ask the first question. I know there will be allot of them."
"Before the dolt can ask her questions a mile a minute...how were you able to do those ice attacks?" Weiss asked, extremely curious.
"As my teammates I expect this to not leave this room if you please." Naga said getting serious.
All four members of Team RWBY nodded.
Naga smiled and sat back. "True magic. Not Dust. I can not even touch Dust cause my body rejects it violently. Scan me with your Scrolls if you wish for proof."
Weiss quickly brought her scroll up and pressed a few buttons before holding it up to scan Naga. "Holy Oum" she stated.
"Yes my Aura is my magic reserves. As I am not from here I have no Semblance. But in the terms of fire power I am a one woman army."
"So I take it that you can't use Dust and we can't use your attacks," Weiss commented.
"That very well may be the case. I would not even know how to go about trying to teach you to use my magic. My magic comes from inside me while yours comes from Dust."
"Unless you were one of the four maidens" Ruby commented
"That's only a story Ruby/Sis" Blake and Yang replied at the same time.
"I am not one of these Maidens you speak of. Like they said it is just a story. I come from a world called the Red Orb in a different dimension. There Magic is very real."
"I assume there is a catch?" Blake asked.
"Yes. Demons are real there as are Dragons. On top of that for women Magic has a major link to our reproductive organs. So when the red rivers flows we have very little to no magic. When pregnant we lose our magic for the whole nine months and a year afterwards."
"Wait, Dragons are real?!" Ruby asked, clearly excited.
"Yes and some can even talk and communicate. Keep in mind this is in my home world."
"Wow...do you have one as a pet?"
"Ruby/Dolt!" Yang and Weiss exclaimed. "You'll have to forgive her. Ever since she was little Ruby had a thing for stories with dragons and always wanted one as a pet." Yang explained.
"Well I can make a stone dragon golem actually." Naga said off handedly. "But not in here." She added quickly.
"Probably a good idea," Ruby said. "Though...can we see it in the future?" she asked.
"Yes you can. So next question?" Naga asked with a smile.
"Do you specialize in any type of magic or just an all-rounder Black Mage?" Ruby asked. "And thank you" she added.
Naga's eye brows shot way up. "Well now that was not expected. I specialize in Ice, Earth, and Shamanistic magic. Shamanistic is spells that target the soul.
"So Ice, Earth and Spirit. Hm..." Ruby thought as ideas started coming to her. Things that she'd talk to Naga next time they were team training.
"I do have one spell I can show to you all. It has very interesting applications to."
"Oh?" they asked, all four of them were curious.
"Yes. Ruby would you be a dear and let me demonstrate? All I need is for everyone to give her room to move around and run and jump."
"You want me to use my Semblance?" Ruby asked, wanting to make sure
"Sure thing." Naga smiled as she prepped the spell in question.
"Alright," she replied before using her speed in small bursts, keeping it normal speed and not Spiraling like she's been experimenting with.
Once more with reflexes that rival even Ruby's Naga called out "Shadow Snap!" and a small dagger embedded in Ruby's shadow in mid jump freezing her in place unable to move. Talk yes but move no.
"What the..." Ruby exclaimed as she tried moving but found that she couldn't.
Blake was now intrigued at that, curious as to what was going on
Naga chuckled at that. "You see the dagger in her shadow everyone?" Naga asked. "Before any of you try to remove it there is one thing you should know. To do so without expelling her shadow would cause extreme levels of pain. So let me remove it myself."
"That's actually interesting," Blake admitted. "What about with clones?"
"If it has a shadow this spell will work. Dispelling the clone would cause a feedback and you would feel the pain." Naga created a Lighting spell and hovered it over the dagger allowing Ruby free.
"That answers that then," she said, her curiosity sated for now.
"Guess the kitty was brought back to life," Yang joked.
"Ugh...seriously Yang?" Blake commented.
"So any other questions?" Naga asked with a pained smirk at the awful pun.
"What do spells in the spirit category do?" Weiss asked
"Well most of them damage or destroy the soul." Naga said off handedly.
"Just like that?"
"But I do not use those against humans."
Weiss let out a soft sigh at that. "That's...actually good to hear"
"I have a question. Which of you is the sniper?" Naga asked with a fanged grin.
"I am" Ruby said quickly. "Why?"
"Cause you just lost your job."
"W-what?"
"I can shoot the nuts off a Mosquito in flight from one thousand yards and not even ruffle its pecker."
"That's...actually impressive. Crude, but impressive." Ruby commented.
Naga looked around the room and spotted a dry erase pen and board. "Okay someone draw a tiny dot on that board and stand next to the far wall from me. Time for a demo."
Blake placed a bookmark in her book before closing it and getting up. Grabbing the marker, she did as asked, placing a small dot on the dry board
"Okay when I say toss the board so it spins rapidly and arcs away from you." Naga says as she gets ready. "Also someone watch my scan on your scroll. I want to see if that is my reserves."
"I'll do that," Weiss commented.
Blake nodded, waiting for the go ahead.
"Okay ready ! PULL!" The moment it was in flight she cast Freeze Bullet and hit the board solid but did not punch through it. But clear as day there on the board right dead center of the dot was a piece of Ice frozen onto it.
"Well...crapbiscuits," Ruby commented seeing such an accurate shot. "Okay, you can be sniper."
Naga looked over to Weiss expectedly.
"What? It was an impressive shot, I'm not going to fault you for that" Weiss commented.
"Not that Weiss what did the scan say?"
Weiss blushed in embarrassment at that. "Oh...sorry," she said before noticing that her Aura level went down just a little bit, telling Naga this.
"So it is my magic reserves. Good to know that. So are there any other questions for me?"
What was Red Orb like? You gave us bits and pieces, but I want to hear what you thought about the place, friends that you had, anything like that," Ruby requested. "Though if you don't want to, I'll understand."
"Well I had a rival who was as strong as I. Her name is Lina Inverse. I was Nineteen and she was Twelve when we met. We had this chemistry that allowed us to practically know what the other was thinking. Some of the time. But we was like Oil and water. So we fought allot. Together we dropped the Bandit population by thirty percent even destroyed one of the seven pieces of the Dark Lord Ruby Eye Shaburanigdu. After that we went our separate ways. I thought of her as a little sister to be honest."
"Well if you were able to get along with someone you considered a little sister, then you're alright in my book...Kill Thief," Yang said, teasingly calling her that
"Hey I said I was sorry Yangarang."
"You're fine, I was only teasing"
"Ah okay. Sorry it is going to take a while to get used to that. Back home we really did not do a lot of teasing of that nature. Sure I teased Lina relentlessly about her micro breasts and her short height but it was all in fun. She had such a temper it was so easy to tease her."
Yang grinned evilly at that. "You, my dear friend, are going to get along together greatly, I can feel it"
"...oh god there's two of them" Weiss moaned out.
"Actually Weiss I would not mind a duel with your sister. Show her there is a new Ice Queen on the block."
"Next time I talk to her, I'll let her know" Weiss said.
"Then again I do also know a few fire spells but not to the level as my ice. Still deadly as a sniper with it but it is not as strong as Lina's. Though she and I did have one moment that stunned us both. It also proved to her that I was her equal."
"Oh?" Blake asked
Yes we was having a magic duel while rather angry with each other. She cast her Fire Ball spell and I cast my Freeze Bullet. When they connected in mid air they canceled each other out. Normally if my power was less than hers then the Fireball would have exploded right there. If I had been stronger then the Fire Ball would have been frozen. But they canceled each other out. What do you think that means?"
"That you were both at equal strength in magic at the time. So does that mean emotions can increase one's magic power?" the cat faunus asked.
"Very much so. Some spells require a calm mind to be more powerful. While some the angrier you are the more powerful. Perfect example. My Ra Tilt is my strongest spell. It requires a mind at peace to be at it's strongest. While Lina's Dragon Slave is the opposite. By the way Lina had two spells last I heard that was stronger than the Dragon Slave. Those two spells are like my Ra Tilt."
"If you don't mind me asking Naga, next time we're in the Emerald Forest, can we see all of your skills? There's only Grimm in the forest," Ruby asked before explaining why such a place would be good.
"That would be great because Ozpin and Ironwood needed to see my spells. With Grimm as targets that will make my Shamanism spells usable." Naga pulled out her Scroll and found Ozpin's number and made a call.
"Ah, Miss Serpent. How are you doing acclimating yourself to the World of Remnant?" Ozpin asked
"I am doing well Ozpin. My team leader Ruby had a wonderful idea. Seems my team wants to see what I can do so she brought up Emerald Forest. Seeing as it has lots of Grimm I would be able to show all of my spells. Including my spirit spells. The ones that require a living target. So I was wondering if you could set it up for James and yourself and Glynda to be present tomorrow for a demonstration?"
"I'll see what I can do when it comes to James and your girlfriend"
Naga blushed. "So she told you huh?" She nibbled on her bottom lip cutely.
Weiss noticed the tick but didn't say anything about it.
"She did, figuring it would be easier than me guessing and figuring it out" Ozpin replied.
"Well as long as your okay with it. I will not hurt her Oz." Naga swore to him. "So does it look promising at least about tomorrow?"
"Make sure that you don't. Or you'll have two important people of Remnant out for your blood," he said seriously. "And as long as it doesn't affect your studies than I have no problem with it."
"Oh you will find that I am a quicker study than even Weiss, Blake, Ruby, and Yang put together. Give me two weeks and I will be caught up to my class or beyond."
"I have Nineteen years battle experience when it comes to magic. I learned all I know in a month. Learning Magic normally takes most decades to learn."
"I see the point that you're making. I will talk to James and see what he says" Ozpin said
"Thanks Oz. Sorry about the late hour. Oh before I forget what is the rule on hard beverages on campus? No I would not share with the kiddies. Even back home the drinking age was eighteen."
"Don't get caught and don't share with the minors," he responded honestly.
"Just know next week I will have to go into seclusion. That time is coming and I still can not handle that issue."
"That...oh, I see" Ozpin said quickly.
Yang raised an eyebrow at that comment, wondering what she meant
"Yes I told Glynda about my mother and the after effects of it. So yes that is why Next week I will be no good to anyone."
"Do you want me to let the other Professors know about it?" he asked.
"Yes but be discreet. It only happens one week out of every month and one day a year is the worst. So when that anniversary rolls around I will be out of commission for three days."
"That anniversary has already passed this year thankfully."
"With a manner as sensitive as that, I was going to be as discrete as possible Miss Serpent."
"I told you Oz call me Naga or if you have to call me Miss call me Miss Seyruun."
"Sorry Naga, old habits"
"Understood. I have taken enough of your time Oz so good night." She hung up her scroll and turned to the group. "Okay time to answer the big question I know you all have right now."
"Seyruun?" Weiss asked.
"What happens next week?" Yang asked.
"My full name is Gracia ul Naga Seyruun. Back home I was a Princess to the holy kingdom of Seyruun. When I was Sixteen an assassin came calling and was there to kill me and my eight year old sister and mother. He found me first. I had been sheltered living in a Pacifist kingdom and had never seen violence. So I screamed and ran. My mother heard my scream and ran to check on me. I ran back when I heard mothers screams. But to late. She had been slain in the most brutal way. The assassins weapon was a razor wire cat-o-nine-tails bull whip. Charged with a Digger Bolt. I used one of my mothers spells to turn the whip on him and he died the same way mother died. There was so much blood that now even the smallest speck of blood will cause me to faint. Because of that when the red river flows I have to remain passed out drunk till it is over and dried up to be able to clean up."
"So basically when the time of the month comes, you have to get passed out drunk in order to deal with it?" Yang asked, assuming that Digger Bolt was a lightning spell of some sort. "Same with when it's the anniversary of your mom's death?"
Naga nodded at that. "That about sums it up. As for Digger Bolt. It is not just a lightning spell it is THE most powerful of the Lightning spells. It is equal to an actual Lightning bolt."
And you...survived it?" Weiss asked skeptically
"It never hit me. But yes I have survived it many times." Naga got lost in thought as she counted the times in her memories. "I have survived thirty-two Digger Bolts, over two hundred Fire Balls, and three Dragon Slaves that left a crater in the ground about fifteen miles in diameter and eight miles deep."
"...And there goes me being the tank of the team,' Yang commented, sighing lightly. "If you got assassin covered as well then you're basically the team if the four of us were RPG classes/roles."
"Lets see. I can hit a bull's-eye from a thousand yards every single time. Use Ice, Fire, Spirit and Earth attacks. Create golems from the very earth and stone. Can fly at what I found out is Mach two. What do you think?"
"I think you're silent enough to sneak up on anyone in the White Fang and gut them if you chose on doing so," Blake commented before flipping the page in her book.
"Or I could rain down on them with my laugh and watch them hit the deck holding their ears and freeze them all." Naga chuckled.
Blake shuddered at that as she remembered Naga's laugh. "Good point. Very good point"
"How many Grimm hit the ground when I laughed anyway. I lost count."
"About fifty...I think?" Ruby commented, though not sure So what exactly was that massive scorpion thing I killed? It was as big as a juvenile Dragon."
"That was a Death Stalker. The giant birds that you fought are called Nevermore," Weiss answered, adding onto the question.
"So why was everyone running for their life when the Death Stalker showed up but not the Nevermore's?"
"No idea"
"It was to easy. A Demonic Crystal and it was dead. Heck a feather landing on it would have shattered it to dust."
Weiss nodded at that, since it made sense
"Any other questions before I have a drink?"
"Well I doubt you'd let me have a drink even though I am eighteen, even if I asked." Yang commented. "But...you swing for the same team?" she asked.
"Yep though I got my reasons. Reasons I do not think some of the younger girls here could handle. I would but I do not want to get in trouble with Ozpin or Glynda over giving you alcohol. For one while Eighteen is the legal age back home I do not know the legal age here."
"Some people have eighteen as the legal limit, others have it at twenty-one. The bars indicate which is their legal age" Yang replied. "So it's your call. And while I will readily admit I'm a flirt and a party girl, I won't go into your stash. Scout's honor"
"If she's a scout, I mastered Summoning," Weiss muttered.
"Then it is a good thing only I can get to what is in my cape." Naga chuckled. "Alright this does not leave this room at all. Got that?" Naga said as she looked to all four of her teammates.
"Which part?" Ruby asked, being serious
Naga reached into her cape and withdrew the Brandy and a shot glass. "This is a one time thing. Each of you get one shot. As celebration for a new teammate." Naga poured out a shots worth and offered it to Yang first."
"Thank you. And definitely a one time thing. Ruby's still a minor," Yang said before taking the offered cup.
Naga tapped the bottle with the shot glass and smiled. "Bottoms up."
"Bottoms up," she replied before draining the shot. This wasn't the first time that she had Brandy so the strong burn wasn't that much of a shock to her.
Naga took the shot glass back and refilled it and asked. "Who wants the next one?"
"Guess it can't hurt," Blake stated before sitting up, indicating that she wanted the next shot.
Naga passed it off to Blake with a smile. "There ya go. Bottoms up."
"Thank you" she said before drinking it, a brief cough passing through her lips after doing so. She forgot how strong brandy could be...
Once the shot glass was back in Naga's hand she refilled it and passed it to Weiss. "Bottoms up."
Weiss nodded before taking the drink, sipping at it lightly. After her first sip, she started coughing badly. "H-how can anyone drink that?" she asked, surprised. It was so strong...
The best way is to slug it back and take it all at once." Naga commented with a tender smile.
"If I ever have it again, I'll keep that in mind," Weiss responded.
"Naga took back the shot glass and once again poured a shots worth and offered it to Ruby."
"Thank you," Ruby said before taking the offered drink and slugged it back as Naga suggested to Weiss. Since this was her first time drinking any type of alcohol, she started coughing uncontrollably
Naga snagged back the shot glass and patted Ruby on the back.
"You okay Sis?" Yang asked, concerned
"Yeah it is just the burn is all. She was not expecting it." Naga said before hopping back up into her hammock and turning the bottle up and chugging from it like water.
"Alright," Yang replied before going back to her game on her scroll while Blake went back to her book.
After chugging for five minutes straight she recorked the bottle and smiled. "Ah that hit the spot. Time to check in with Glynda." Naga called up Glynda with a rosy cheeked smile on her personal number.
"Why good evening Naga," Glynda replied after picking up her personal scroll.
"Good evening beautiful I hope it is not to late?"
"Not at all," she replied, blushing lightly at the beautiful comment. "So, how are you doing Naga?" Glynda asked Well I wanted you to know that Next week will be a bust but how about tomorrow night?
"For our date?"
"Yes for our date. I take it Oz has asked you about the demo tomorrow in Emerald Forest?"
"He did. Since I currently don't have anything to do, that will be fine. I'm actually quite curious to see all of yours skills," she admitted.
"Very well wonder if he got James to be up for it."
"That I do not know," she admitted.
"So where would you like Dinner what movies and what location would you like the stroll and dancing to be?"
"I don't get out much, but for dinner, something Italian perhaps. Movies should be romance and for the stroll and dancing...the park should be a good time for that. At least for the stroll. Dancing might have to be off the menu" Glynda responded after a few minutes of silence.
"Oh not a good dancer?" Naga asked with a pout.
"Oh I can dance, it would just be a little awkward to be dancing in the park"
Then how about your place?" Naga asked with a smile.
"Sure"
Red or white wine?" Naga asked with a bright smile.
"White"
"Very well I may have just the one for that. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow cutie."
L-Likewise" Glynda responded before ending the call.
Naga lay back with a smile.
"Sounds like you had fun talking to your girlfriend," Blake said with a light smile.
"I did actually. We are just going on a date to see how well it works. If it does go well then I will be glad."
"Testing the waters?"
"You got that right. I am more than comfortable with my taste in lover being a woman but she has never batted for the home team so we will see how it goes."
"Well then, I wish you luck"
"Why thank you Blake same for you." Naga commented while looking at Yang.
"W-what do you mean?" Blake asked, blushing lightly, glad that Yang was too intuned with her game to listen in.
Blake I can see how you look at each other same for Ruby and Weiss. I wont say a word. Enjoy it."
"Enjoy it?" Blake asked
"Oh yes nothing like womanly love."
"O-oh," the cat faunus said with a light blush.
"Only a woman really knows how to please a woman Blake and Yang looks like she has experience. Isn't that right Yang?"
"I usually don't kiss and tell Naga," Yang stated, indicating that she had indeed been listening to their conversation. And while she did find her partner attractive, she wasn't going to pressure Blake into anything.
"You...were listening?" Blake asked, her cheeks an intense shade of red. Not only that, but her ears were flat against her head due to the embarrassment she was currently feeling.
Naga chuckled at that. "Sorry I had to clear the air you four. I can spot that kind of feelings from a mile away." Naga said while laying on her back with her head propped on a pillow and staring at the ceiling.
"Fantastic. And if I can't act on it? My dad would skin me alive if he found out..." Weiss admitted.
"Weiss if you would scan this card." Naga said as she tossed one of the two cards over to Weiss a grin on her face.
"What does scanning your Lien Card have anything to do with this?" Weiss asked.
"Just humor me will you?"
"Alright, fine" Weiss exclaimed before scanning the card, her eyes bugging out of her skull when she sees the amount. "W-what? H-ho-how?" she sputtered.
Naga smiled as she switched cards with Weiss. "Now scan this one."
Weiss did as asked, still a little shocked when she saw the amount. "How in the world do you have 10 billion Lien to your name?" she asked, causing Yang and Blake to also look at their new teammate.
"When I came here I had Copper, Silver, Gold, and Platinum coins along with countless jewels. One such jewel was a two hundred karat princess cut flawless natural black diamond. All of that together added up to Ten billion Lien."
Yang whistled lightly at that. "Damn"
"You got that right. Back home the best offer I got was five platinum for it."
"I take it that's not a lot?" the blonde asked.
"Not really. One platinum is enough to buy a two story three bedroom house."
"So not snobby rich like Weissicle here, but well off all the same?" Yang asked.
"Hey!" Weiss responded
"Well I do not know how rich Weiss here is but I will probably never spend all of it in my life. So I propose something Weiss. How much is the stocks for Schnee Dust company selling for and how much to get a say so in day to day activities? In other words How much to make your father listen to me?"
"You want to hit my father where it hurts, don't you?"
"Yep and make him listen to reason. Plus make it so the Faunus are treated fairly."
"Hm...Technically I'm worth 50 million but most of it is tied away behind legal papers and what not. I wouldn't use most of it anyways," she quickly explained so that the blonde brute couldn't speak up. "And the company is worth ten times that since it's the leading manufacture of Dust Powders and Crystals. Stock holders have 5 percent overall, I have 20, Winter has 20 and father has 50 percent with the other five free for grabs.
I'm sure Winter wouldn't mind giving you her share and I definitely wouldn't mind either so that you would have at least 40 percent of the company, if I understand stock correctly. Though I'm not sure how much they go for," she admitted with a light blush
"Well how about this. One million for your shares the same to your sister and I will find out who else shares I need to become majority and buy theirs."
"Sounds fair to me," Weiss said before smirking lightly at that. "What do you think about that leader?" she asked, knowing that Ruby was indeed awake and listening in. It was quite easy, especially when she hadn't heard the light snores that came from her partner.
Yeah leader what do you say to that?"
"Meep!" Ruby squeaked out while cowering under the blanket fort she created for herself. "I...I have no idea what you mean" she said
"Come on out leader. We know you was awake and listening"
"Sis, you either talk to them, or I tell Weiss and Naga here embarrassing stories," Yang threatened.
"I didn't think one drink would effect her like this."
"You mean...you think Ruby is a shy drunk?" Blake asked.
"It is possible." Naga said as she hopped down and walked over to Ruby and placed a hand on her head and cast. "Detoxify!" At that moment all toxins was purged and removed from Ruby in a soft blue glow.
"That felt weird..." Ruby muttered once the spell finished detoxing her.
"So feel like crawling out of there and speaking your mind on the discussion?"
I guess..." Ruby stated
Naga stepped back and waited for her to crawl out as she sat on the edge of a bed. "So your thoughts on the discussion?"
"I think it's nice that you're doing all this for Weiss," Ruby replied.
"Not just Weiss but you as well Ruby and all the Faunus out there impacted poorly by her fathers company."
"Because then I could date Weiss without any repercussions?" she asked, Ruby's face matching her cloak
"Exactly." Naga said with a warm smile. "Back home I may have been greedy but I feel a change of pace is needed here. Or I may end up as disliked as back home."
Ruby laughed a little at that. "You wouldn't be disliked that badly," she commented.
"Ruby I sold Lina out to an enemy for two gold coins. I have a feeling I would be counted lower than low here."
"That's heartless..." Yang commented
Yeah but I knew she could get out of it and she did."
"So basically it was a form of tough love?"
"Correct. To toughen her up for the future."
"Makes sense." Yang said before thinking of something else for a change. But right now she highly doubt Blake would agree to it.
"So what time is dinner around here?"
"Dinner starts at seven and the caf stays open until ten. After that, snacks are made available but that's about it," Weiss replied.
"And it is already after eleven. Damn. So who is up for delivery?" Naga asked with a smile.
"I am!" Yang admitted.
Naga grabbed her scroll and looked up delivery places and found a Pizza place. She called them up and ordered thirty pies one of each kind. She paid in full and even set it up to give the delivery person a one hundred Lien tip.
"That hungry?" Blake asked, shocked
"Due to how my magic is I need to eat allot of calories to keep my reserves up."
"That's interesting," the cat faunus stated.
Forty minutes later there is a knock and Naga gets up and answers the door and takes the receipt and signs it and hands it back and starts taking pizza's from her and placing them on the small table."
"Thank you miss," the delivery girl says as Naga takes the pies from her, both Blake and Yang helping place the boxes on the table
"Alright girls time to chow down." Naga says as she starts filling plates from her cape for everyone and passing them out.
Yang grabbed two slices of pepperoni before sitting down next to her partner
Naga piled her plate with a slice from every pie and sat down in her hammock and said a silent blessing and dug in. Her first bite made her squeal in joy and dance a little jig.
"You okay up there?" Ruby asked after getting a couple slices of cheese pizza
"Never had this dish before and it is quite heavenly."
"You never had pizza?" Yang asked.
"No this dish was never invented back home. Thanks to magic technology is very slowly being developed. No trains, or flying machines. Nothing even remotely like Scrolls or even have the machines this world has."
"I see," Yang said before noticing Weiss having problems as well and asked if it was her first time eating pizza also
Naga dove into her food happily. Each slice better than the last. Then she came across Anchovies. "Bleh okay I have officially found seafood I can not stand."
"I'll take them," Blake said.
"You like anchovies?" Yang asked, a little shocked.
"Yang think about that very carefully." Naga remarked as she picked the fish off and passed them to Blake.
Yang thought about that for a few seconds before blushing lightly. "Nevermind," she said remembering that it didn't matter what type of fish it was, as long as it was fish than that was all that mattered to the Cat Faunus.
Naga nodded and remembered something. "Hey Blake I got something for you to try. Same for you Ruby." Naga reached into her cape and pulled out a container and placed a few strips of fish on it and handed it to Blake. She sealed the container and put it back before pulling out another and placing a strip of meat on it and handing it to Ruby."
"What is it?" both Blake and Ruby asked, curiosity running rampant
"Blake has there Emperor Salmon. The most prized fish back home. Ruby I will wait till you try yours first."
"Alright," Ruby said before picking a piece up with her fingers before taking a bite.
"And I think I just lost my love to fish," Yang joked as Blake took the strips of fish into her fingers before quickly eating them, enjoying the taste.
"Don't worry Yang I do not have much of it. Now Ruby ready to find out what that is? After all it is a meal that cost twenty Platinum back home and has a year long waiting list."
"I can understand since it does have a good smoked flavor to it," Ruby replied.
"What you are eating there Ruby is Water Dragon. One of the lesser Dragons. Not one of the intelligent kind."
"This is Dragon Meat?" Ruby asked
"Yep." Naga says with a grin as she offers each of the girls a piece.
"That's terrible..." Ruby claimed, especially since she liked dragons so much.
"Ruby only Dragons that have been labeled as a danger to lands and people are slain for their meat."
"I guess that makes it okay then..."
"So what do you girls think of it?" Naga asked as she continued eating her fill of Pizza.
"Very good," all four said
"See there is a problem with raw Dragon Meat. It has to be buried for six months then cooked for six months to make it safe to eat. Before that and not even a Detoxify will save your life. I once saw someone eat Dragon meat cooked over a camp fire after the dragon had died and they was dead in seconds after the first bite."
"They're that toxic?" Weiss asked, surprised
"Yes Weiss. Do not worry this meat was buried for seven months and cooked for a year. Completely safe."
"I figured you knew what you were doing after you told us the potential harm of eating this," Yang said before finishing her dragon meat.
"Yes I do. I cooked this myself." Naga said with a little pride.
"Good to know" Weiss said with a grin before eating the rest of her dragon meet and going back to the pizza
"You would be amazed at what you can learn when traveling for twenty-two years."
"I bet," Blake said with a light laugh.
"Glad you girls do not mind that I am old enough to be your mother."
"We don't mind at all honestly," Ruby admitted, getting three other nods as well
"I had a child once. I gave them up to a family that wanted children but could not." Naga said a tear in her eye.
"You had a child? But I thought you were a lesbian?" Yang said, confused.
"I am after being gang rapped for four days by forty bandits who found me during that time of the month."
Blake growled lightly after hearing that as the other three were shocked senseless after hearing such a thing.
"It was after that, that I found out I was pregnant. I carried the child and birthed him and gave him away when he was able to eat food." Naga said as she sat back and ate.
"That was nice of you. I know some Faunus who were raped and they didn't want to keep the baby since it was a reminder of what happened," Blake said softly.
"Blake I got to ask. Would you be willing to remove your bows at least while in the room? We all know what you are and are fine with it."
"I don't know..." Blake commented, unsure about taking her bow off around the others.
"What do you say girls?" Naga asks with a soft tender smile.
"I think she looks cute with her hair down," Yang commented
Naga chuckled at that. "I bet so."
"Well it doesn't help that her cat ears are adorable" Yang added, causing Blake to blush.
"I want to see these cat ears myself. Wait do you have a tail as well Blake?"
"No she doesn't," Weiss stated. "And as for the ears, I'm okay with them."
"But it would be so cute, Blake being an actual catgirl instead of just a cat faunus" Ruby chimed in.
"I agree. So Blake off with the bow. Let your ears free!"
Blake looked around to the four other women in the room before reaching up and taking the bow off, a soft sigh escaping her lips as the warm air passed over her ears.
"There you go. So you feel more comfortable." Naga walks over to the door and casts "Lock" on it sealing the door so that only Naga can open it. "Now only I can open the door and no one can hear into the room period."
"Thank you," Blake said.
"Kitty, were you worried about one of our friends coming in and seeing you with your ears out?" Yang asked.
"I have a feeling that was the case. So from now on when ever you want to let them out in the room just let me know and I will lock this room up tighter than a fleas bottom."
"Thanks Naga," Blake said. "And just to be official, Faunus usually only have one feature tied to their animal. I technically have two animalistic traits, my eyes and my ears," she said before taking another bite of her slice of pizza.
Naga smiled as she picked up the pizza with the nasty fish and placed it before Blake. "It's all yours. I think everyone agrees to that?"
Everyone nodded at that statement.
Naga goes and refills her plate with more Pizza and sits back down and digs in.
Yang gets off of her bed and refills her plate with a couple more slices of pizza. Instead of returning to the top bunk, she sits down next to her partner.
"So what time is first class everyone?" Naga asks curiously.
"Nine in the morning" Ruby answered.
"Oh my that is pretty early. Well I do not know about you girls but I think I need to get some shut eye." Naga then gets up and starts putting the pizza boxes into her cape till it is all put up. Then she hops back into her hammock and covers herself up and crashes right then and there.
