Weiss sighs as she watches the sunset. She can't believe that here at Beacon of all the Huntsmen schools, there would be people like her father. Just like she cannot believe that she had been so terrified of that Boarbatusk. What would her mother had done? Before she can think of it any further, a voice suddenly breaks the silence.

"Ah, such a lovely sunset indeed! Why, it reminds me of a story from my youth!" Professor Port declares as he comes to stand next to the bench where she is sitting.

Weiss groans as she looks up the professor, who is looking down at her kindly. "I've had a bit of a hard day Professor."

"I can understand that Miss Schnee. Your mother also had a rough first day when she came to Beacon as well." This gets her attention. Her mother rarely spoke of her days training to be a huntress, normally only stating that it was four of the best years of her life.

Curious, Weiss takes the bait. "Go on Professor, I'm listening."

To her surprise, the Professor looks to the horizon thoughtfully. "I remember when she arrived here, almost thirty years ago now. I had been an active huntsman for several years by then, when I was asked to fill in for old Professor Magenta, who had fallen ill. Just a little slip of a thing, like you."

This gives Weiss a bit of pause. "Father told me mama attended Atlas Academy, not Beacon."

Port roars with laughter as he looks at Weiss. "Your mother proudly studied here for four years, and made many friends. Most especially with Summer Rose and Raven Branwen. The three of them were as thick as thieves for years." Port smiles as he looks back at the darkening sky. "Especially Summer and Adaliz. They were quite close."

Weiss looks into the darkening sky as well, amazed at this new revelation. But one thing was bothering her. "Then why say she went to Atlas?"

Port sighs as he looks back down at her. "That is something I honestly do not know Weiss. What I do know is when I look at you, I see your mother staring back at me. And that is a wonderful thing. But a word of advice: Do not get lost in her shadow as you seek to cast one of your own." With a pat on the shoulder, the older professor walks off, leaving Weiss to her own thoughts.

Weiss sighs as she leans her head back and looks up at the stars. Why would her father lie to her? And why does everyone hold her mother on the same level as Summer Rose? These are questions she needs to figure out. But for now, she needs to go check on Ruby. Standing up, she walks towards the door, all other thoughts gone from her mind save those of her adorable partner.
