What's sup readers thank you for continuing reading the story, I encourage comments and throw some ideas may go into the story. So anyway back to the story.
The Undead grasp his helm and lifted it off reveling his face to the world, and the girls took in every detail of his face.
He had pale skin, short dirt blond that was messy and ungroomed bits of ash still clung to it, small stubby beard barely grown same fate as hair with little bits of ash in it as well, his eye's were of different colors with the left being blue and the other red of a crimson color almost looking as if a burning flame was deep inside it.
But what was most surprising was how young he was as most of them thought he would be much older them with the way he spoke sounding if he had live a full life and, was a bit deeper sounding than most.
But he didn't look much older than 17 or 16 so how was that possible?
All together he look a bit rough but not unpleasant to look at, the only troubling thing was how tired look he had look not physically more if he was mental fatigue that usually showed on very Hunters.
"Huh? Thought you would be some 30 year man" Yang worded out loud "But you look like your a little bit older then us.
'Really' thought to himself he still look young? He should look like a old man by now, but what was age to a undead at least he didn't look hollowed so he really did care all to much.
"Well are you satisfied now Lady Weiss? Wander question since it was her idea for him to show he's face.
"Umm... yes I am satisfied" Weiss awkwardly said while looking away from the Undead.
Ok weird?
"If that's all then" setting his helmet back on "Now where's that witch I grow tired of this place".
Right on cue Goodwitch had step in.
"For the last time it's Goodwitch" but with that she just let out a sigh she had a feeling he wasn't going to stop doing that."The ship's ready time to head home girls " Goodwitch said as the girls let out cheer for final getting this mission done with.
"I'm going to eat so many cookies when we get back" Ruby shouted.
"Can't wait hit the hay" Yang lazily yawned "It's been a busy day.
"Yes rest would be nice" Weiss agreed
"Good now everyone head to the ship"
Goodwitch ordered she still had a long night ahead.
The ship ride had been a bit more active this time with everyone being more talkative with Goodwitchs permission of course.
She instantly regretted it, as Miss Rose had been trying to question the Undead about himself and his current weapon.
"Wow that's a Old school katana I never seen one in such good conduction before it has to be rare" As Ruby geekout over the undead weapon "Does it have a name?"
"Actually it does Chaos Blade" the Undead answered, the Chaos Blade was one of the many weapons at his disposal he remembered Quelaag a being of Chaos, Daughter of Izalith God of life, she had stood guard blocking the path to the land of chaos and protecting what was left of her family and most important her sister.
...
He did not know of this or her sister eternal pain, with the use of humanity to curve it at the time.
But all the same she died by my sword
using her soul to forge new life though the Chaos Blade, who knew the legend blade was the soul of a Chaos but maybe Ruby would enjoy the legend.
"That and it has a old legend would you like to hear it Lady Ruby?"
Ruby eye's sparked in a literal sense witch almost made the Undead question that but it let go.
"YES" Ruby excitedly glee as she had a turn to her team "How about you guys?" WBY of the team look at each other and didn't see why not.
"Sure least it will pass the time" Yang shrugged taking the time to sit closer
The others followed suit and with that the Chosen began the story.
"The Chaos Blade a mysterious blade only known by a legend of no origin, a story of a blade that never dulled spilling blood of all those who oppose it even the wilder of the blade if they weren't careful, as nothing was safe from its blood lust.
"What" Weiss interrupted "Your say that sword" points the Chaos Blade by the Undead side "Can hurt you?.
"That would seem impractical of a weapon" Blake added
The Undead lightly chuckled " It would seem that way in the hands of a fool one would most certainly die by the blade curse, But I have spent a very long time mastering all kinds of weaponry from different for swords, clubs and more unique weapons.
The Undead a took moment to ponder the different weapons he has us over time, and needed to check what else he had at his disposal, but weapons weren't the only thing he had master over his long journey.
He had learn the different magical arts of what the land had to offer from sorcery the art of spells with a mix of offensive and defensive making it very useful with need of a catalyst to make anything work but that would not be a problem.
Next was pyromancy had found use for the art as it had been a more of a destructive force with a use of a Pyromancy Flame which could be summoned though his hand with focus, and it was truly powerful as it was dangerous.
Last and one of his most use miracles why he use them the most he couldn't tell anyone but with powerful defense and healing it was handy and with lightning combined it was just as powerful as anything.
Even if Priests and Paladin were nothing but annoyances but he didn't want to talk about that.
"My point being girls that even if something seems strange doesn't mean it won't be useful". The Undead finish.
Even if the Chaos blade seemed dangerous he had brought down many foes without hesitation he's skill were not to be questioned.
"Wow" Ruby said look closely at the Chaos blade, Wander has spoken like some if the Veteran Hunter she met, someone who's seen countless battles, in which he did say he has battled for a long time so just how much has he seen.
Wander decided that was enough for now and told the girls he'll continue tell stories at a different time, they all agreed which to perfect timing as it seemed they reach there destination.
"Alright" Goodwitch announced getting everyone attention. "You four will be returning to your dorms and will be resuming your schedule as normal until further notice understand! Goodwitchs tone sounded with a edge daring for anyone to say anything over than yes.
"Yes " Team RWBY said in Union.
"Good now let's be off" Goodwitch signed ready for this night to be over
The Undead followed without a word behind Goodwitch was she walk off the landing pad.
As the Undead walk away he turn his head to towards Team RWBY one last time to see the girls looking at him, and noticing his look the girls gave him a wave off as in see you later.
Without turning towards them he stuck his right arm out with closed fist out as a sign that there gesture was not ignored.
(But with no shield)

****Location change****
Wander was now alone with Goodwitch she been leading him somewhere her leader perhaps he didn't really know, she also chosed to silently walk only to glance back at him ever while as if to check on him which kind of annoyed him as if he was a child.
Since the witch wasn't going talk the Undead tried to get a feel of his surroundings because since they 'flown' place to place he couldn't really tell where they gone if it was East, West, North or South.
As the Undead look around it was actually quite dark so he couldn't see very well besides a few building outlines gleaming in the moonlight.
Wander look towards the night sky in curious wonder he had come to a stop mid walk at what he saw.
Why hell was the half the moon shattered?
That his time the moon had been full and fallen under Gwyndolin control the youngest child Gwyn he had been a master of magic and illusions or was before he took him down.
Goodwitch notices the lack of metal footsteps behind her and turned around see what was keeping the knight.
There he was just standing in place while looking up towards the night sky, well particularly the moon, if she were to guess why he would come to a sudden stop...
"I guess it doesn't seem the same as you last saw it" Goodwitch questioned snapping Wander out of his gazing.
"Yes" Wander answered "What power caused such destruction?" he just had to know.
"Nobody knows" Goodwitch then noticed Undead questionable look even with his helmet on "It's true and early as humanity's can remember the moon as has been shattered" Goodwitch lectured. Snapping out of her teacher mode to realize she need to get to Ozpin.
"That's enough no more distractions we need to keep moving" Goodwitch ordered.
"Very well" Wander answered he could of argued with woman but he would get no where.
The two silent walk continued towards the center of Beacon to reach the tall tower of Ozpin, usually you would have to enter the center lobby to reach the tower entrance but to go unseen Goodwitch had guided them to a secret elevator used for more discrete use.
He had enter with Goodwitch as she had push few buttons and the lift began.
"Anything I should know meeting your leader?" Wander question not wanting to offend there ruler and become a enemy of king.
... again.
"No his going to ask you a few things only advice is best not to lie and everything will be fine". Goodwitch answered, and with that little exchange a loud ding had gotten the Wander attention with the elevator door sliding open.
He had to say this Ozpin sure had different taste as the Undead observe as much of the room as he could mostly out of habit and curiosity.
It was if he had walked in a working clock what look like a working gear system hover above moving and clicking along in perfect unity, the room itself was a mix color of green grey, decent furniture but not to much for a ruler or at least from what he's seen.
Towards the center of the room he saw a man standing there ready to greet them. He had to be the man he's come to see, he was surprised to a barely middle age man sliver hair with black eyes that seemed like there trying place the Undead as he was getting stare at.
He wore shaded glass spectacles and a small, purple, cross-shaped pin on the cowl around his neck. His outfit mainly consists of an unzipped black suit over a buttoned vest and green shirt. He also wears black trouser shoes and long, dark-green pants.
In the man hands in front of him was a cane even tho it seemed as if he didn't need it for walking.
"Glynda" the man spoke "I'm glad to see you have taken care of the situation" Ozpin praised.
Goodwitch only nodded in understanding stepping to the side to reveal the knight be behind her.
"Ay yes and this must be are mysterious guest" Ozpin took the time to glance the Undead before approaching him. "Greetings I'm Professor Ozpin headmaster of this academy I'm glad to finally meet you.
Ozpin then reach his hand towards the knight. Wander took his hand without much hesitation and shuck it the meet the man greeting. "Yes like wise"... the Undead took a moment to continue "You can call me Wander sir".
Ozpin raised a eyebrow "O I was told you no memory of name".
"Yes but your students Ruby, Weiss, Yang and Blake figured I was easier address me with a name then 'Hey you' as Ruby put it". Since me coming up with the name.
"I see well it will work nicely" Ozpin agreed " But I am sure you wondering why we having this talk correct?". Wander nodded "Well to my understanding of Glynda report you are a man out of time so to say.
The Undead nodded again "So my question for you is what are you going to do now" Ozpin question his eyes seem to be looking deeply in to the Undead. Well that was the million soul question wasn't as much he hated to admit he was need a little guiding before he adventure off or he would wander around for a while until he stumbled apon something, but he figured that wouldn't work now.
"Might I suggest something " Ozpin said pull the knight out of his thoughts "Your going to need somewhere that you could learn all you need to know about you're current situation and be in a comfortable surrounding.
Glynda eyes widen at realizing at what Ozpin was getting at "Ozpin your not suggesting he be around the students are you" she couldn't believe he was just accepting this man into the school. "Glynda this is a positive opportunity for both parties and besides what better place than a school." Ozpin tried to reason.
"How so?" Wander questioned "What do you gain from helping man you know." Wander couldn't really understand this man motives, over time he's felt as he was a good judge of character. He's meet different types of people in his time and has made mistakes believing and dealing with the wrong people those who would try to betray him.
Most where died of course.
...
But he also took it as a lesson as with most things in his life.
But then there was this Ozpin, he didn't feel any negative intentions from him but he still had a motive for what it was he had no clue. It was like talking to primordial serpents he knew there words held some truth but not the full story.
"You are form a situation beyond most understanding for anyone. As confusing and curious this all is for you, it is just as strange for us". Ozpin had took the opportunity to enjoy his old friend coffee before continuing. "So am proposing a way for you to full understand your surroundings as well as a place where people would willing to help you".
Ozpin had reach his hand out towards the knight " What do say Wander"?
In the moment time had seem to stop for Wander has he stared at the man's hands trying to think this out, but this seem to be the best option.
The Undead took his glove off to shake the man's hand.
"Very Ozpin I'll shall take your deal". He just hope he wouldn't regret it or else he was going to have to make him regret it.
Ozpin smiled pleased that things went smoothly before a cough Goodwitch
getting both the men attention.
"As well as that sounds how are you going to put him into the academy he has no knowledge of the lessons, no experience of training to fight grim or even how old he is." Goodwitch listed off all the short comings of the plan "Or all the other issues"
"O Glynda you worry to much, well figure this all out." Ozpin calmly answered turning back to the knight " Mr. Wander would you kindly take off your helmet.
Wander wasn't quite sure but did ad ask and removed his helmet for the both them to get a got look him.
"You look much younger then you sound." Ozpin committed "But this will work even better, you look like any other student."
Glyna was also surprised the Warrior age but quickly got over it " Yes still with him have no knowledge of-.
"You are correct Glynda" Ozpin interrupted "But there are students who are familiar with him already, who could be his guides and can inform him of he need to know.
Glyna soon caught on to what Ozpin was leading to "Team RWBY sir?"
"Yes excellent idea Glyna they will work nicely" Ozpin prised "But there a few things we need over first if your going to be attending my school. Ozpin eyes shifting towards the Undead.
"Very well" Wander replied.
These were his first steps to whole new beginning, and he was quite eager to see where it takes him.
That's it thanks for reading hope you enjoy and Praise the sun \[T]/ ?
