CHAPTER 6

Very early in the morning Anorra wakes up but notices that Zenon is still sleeping. Anorra walks to where he is and starts poking his face and telling him to wake up. Zenon in a yawning voice "five more minutes", at this point she is shaking him "Wake up, you're gonna be late and you won't be able to catch the airship to Beacon." At the mention of this Zenon jolts awake and starts heading to take a quick shower and gather all his things. While this is occurring Anorra goes and makes a hefty breakfast for both of them. Zenon barges into the kitchen and devours his food while frantically making sure he has everything. He placed his armor in a duffel bag, while he carried his weapons on his person. Realizing that he has everything, he heads towards the door and is about to say his goodbyes to Anorra. Both at the door they face each other, Zenon starts by saying "Well I'm off, I'll be sure to visit you every moment I can. Oh yes and here take this scroll, Ozpin gave it to me but I'll make sure he gets me another that way we can stay in touch." They both embrace in a hug. "Have fun, make sure to make friends and play nice with all the kids." Anorra stated with a smile. "Don't worry about that, if they are as good as Ozpin says they are there won't be a problem." Zenon started to head out but before he left through the door Anorra stopped him and gave him a small kiss in the cheek, Zenon blushed like crazy. "Stay safe." Anorra told him "I will, I promise." Zenon said back. And so Zenon headed off to a new adventure.

"Come on I'm gonna be late." Zenon was at full sprint trying to reach the airship on time. He saw it in the distance and noticed that the passengers were nearly all aboard, Zenon mustered what energy he had left and sprinted like their was no tomorrow. Winded and out of breath he made it but barely, instantly he took the nearest vacant seat (This day is getting better and better) he thought while letting out a small sarcastic laugh. Noticing his surroundings he instantly saw a familiar figure (Hey it's Red, is she also going to Beacon? And who is the chick right next to her?) Suddenly a projection appeared out of nowhere, the figure was the woman that was next to Ozpin, Zenon didn't really catch her name nor did he pay attention to the projections message. Her name was mentioned maybe...but again he wasn't paying attention, Zenon was interested more in the view. Soon after he heard a very grotesque sound, searching for the source he noticed a blonde haired guy appearing to have the urge to puke. A sweat drop appeared on Zenon's face (You're riding an airship and you have motion sickness?...surely not the sharpest tool in the shed.) Getting up to see if he could help Zenon got closer to the individual "Hey buddy you ok?" The moment those words left his mouth the blonde man suddenly puked in the trash bin right next to him but some of it landed in Zenon's shoes. (These are brand new, Anorra bought them for me precisely for my arrival to Beacon.) He was getting very angry as the individual kept saying it was an accident and 'I'm sorry'. Zenon was about to show this guy a piece of his mind but remembered Anorra telling him to be nice and make friends. With clenched teeth he said "Don't worry about it." Finally relaxing Zenon gave the guy a green herb he got from his bag "Here eat this, it will calm your stomach long enough to reach our destination." The strange guy, with a smile thanked him. Zenon remembered his thought from earlier as he sighed (Better and better.)

They had arrived to their destination and exited from the airship. The blonde man kept excusing himself and Zenon was getting frustrated. "Hey don't mention it. Seriously don't, stop talking about it or I will get mad." Setting his ever so guilty conscious aside the blonde man asked "I did not seem to get your name kind stranger."

"The name is Zenon. And yours?"

"Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls of the tongue. Ladies love it."

Zenon's eye twitched. This guy or rather Jaune may speak like a confident person but everything about him yells insecurity.

"Pleasure to meet you Jaune."

Suddenly they heard an explosion not far from their current position.

"What was that?"

"Heck if i know, let's check it out."

When they arrived they only saw a girl in red lying on the floor. (It's Red!) Zenon thought, as they got closer Jaune offered the girl a hand to help her get up.

"Hey, I'm Jaune and this is my friend Zenon."

"Ruby."

Zenon was dumbfounded (Friend? Well if i'm gonna start making friends might as well start with him.)

Ruby then smirked "Are you the guy that threw up on the ship?"

Zenon let out a small laugh (At least my beginning of the year can't be as bad as his.)

As they were walking threw the school grounds Jaune was complaining about the issue of motion sickness. Then they turned to calling each other nicknames: he was 'Vomit Boy' and she was 'Crater Face' and Zenon was just laughing the entire time. Jaune then showed his manly confidence when stating his name but crumbled when Ruby showed a sign of doubt. Zenon is not much of a quiet guy but he rather enjoy the comedy scene right in front of him. As the conversation turned to an awkward silence Ruby suddenly said "Well I have this." as she showed her giant scythe. (Great ice breaker.) Zenon thought sarcastically. Ruby was praising her scythe and how it has a built in sniper rifle, and Jaune...well he has a sword and a shield that becomes portable but weighs the same, he got discouraged because his weapons look like nothing compared to hers.

"Hey don't be ashamed. A sword and shield although simple can be very effective in the right hands."

"Yea I guess. How about you? What weapons do you have?"

"Actually almost the same as you. A sword and shield although my shield is not portable like yours. They do nothing special but my sword does have a trick up its sleeve."

Flipping a switch on the hilt of the sword, the sword suddenly turns into a bow.

"As you can see it is powered by dust. Not as fast or powerful like a sniper but it gets the job done. You cannot believe what a bow can do when the wielders imagination knows no bounds."

As they walked and talked they came to the realization that they were lost. After many twist and turns and asking for directions they finally arrived to where they were suppose to be in the beginning. They saw a huge crowd of students on their way in, once they got inside a yellow long hair girl shouted to Ruby and Ruby left. Jaune let out a sigh as in a protest.

"By the gods man calm down you seem desperate. She has friends that she wants to be with, theirs nothing you can do about that."

"Yea but where am I supposed to find another nice quirky girl to talk too?"

Never in all his life, *as far as memory goes* did Zenon want to punch someone so hard like he wanted to do to Jaune.

"I don't know and I don't care. Come on let's get closer."

All the students seemed to be gathered and everybody just waited for the headmaster to say a few words. Zenon never liked being in a big crowd especially a loud one, all the students were talking and Zenon missed the quietness of the hut in the forest. Its barely been a few hours and he already missed the hut, the silence, Anorra's smile...he was snapped out of his day dream once he heard Ozpin clearing his voice.

"I will keep this brief…"

(Wow. What enthusiasm, what passion he has for his school and its students.) Zenon mocked.

After everything was said and done everybody moved to the ball room since everybody was gonna sleep there. Night soon arrived and everybody had their pajamas on or whatever their night attires were. The only thing Zenon needed for the night was gym shorts and a plain white shirt, he noticed Jaune and what he was wearing. (A onesie? Seriously...I can't) Zenon pinched the bridge of his nose, he could not believe that this guy was one of the great warriors or hunters that Ozpin used in his reasons of why Zenon should go to Beacon. He was planning on calling Anorra but remembered he didn't have a scroll yet. Confused by Jaune's weirdness and not being able to call Anorra, Zenon decided to sleep early (Tomorrow is a new day Zenon, tomorrow is a new day) And so Zenon fell into the arms of darkness and drifted to sleep.
