Ravage pushed himself back onto his feet, stumbling around as he rose. His vision was blurry and he still felt a little weak in the legs. Ravage shuck his head and his vision started to become clear again. He stopped and took a moment to look around. He wasn't in Beacon Academy. He wasn't on the stage and the others were nowhere to be found. Ravage instead found himself in the middle of a forest, the lush green grass beneath his feet and a cool breeze blowing through his head fur and against his ears. The kitsune slowly looked around, scanning his surroundings whilst rubbing his right eye. He was definitely in a forest. The sun was shining down upon him from the clear blue sky above him and he was surrounded by nature, no doubt about it.
"Huh..." Ravage glanced from left to right before looking at the ground. "Well this is... oddly familiar. I think I've had this dream before." He looked around again. The distant sound of a gentle humming reached his ears, which then twitched in response. Ravage looked back to his front. He raised his right brow. Sounded like a child. Ravage began walking forwards, heading off towards the humming. It wasn't long until he found himself in a clearing, a clearing leading to a cliff. Near the edge was a small rock and on that rock sat a child. A little girl, humming and looking out to the horizon. Ravage walked over to her as she remained seated on the rock, looking out into the distance. She had long pure white hair that reached to past her shoulders, it was rather unkempt and messy with several bangs over her forehead. Her skin was a healthy caucasian, a slight bit tanner than Raine's for example, and she had yellow eyes with crimson pupils. The nails on her hands were rather sharp and her innocent smile revealed a little fang. She was dressed in a blue kimono with flames going up the sleeves and a red hem with a rose detailed along the front left side, a red hakama with an orange obi sash, with brown sandals on her feet and an orange scarf wrapped around her neck. Most notable her though was the little fox ears on her head and the pure white fox tail drifting up behind her. She was a kitsune like Ravage and his mother obviously. The little girl looked over to Ravage as he stood besides her, to her right. She smiled. She seemed familiar and Ravage almost instantly knew why. Ravage hadn't seen her in eons but as he had stated earlier, this dream was familiar. But even still, Ravage didn't truly know the child. He also didn't really care what she represented or meant even though he knew how dreams and thoughts affected the infinite reality that was the Multiverse.
"Hi." The little girl spoke up, her voice soft and filled with happiness. Ravage smiled back.
"Hello there." He replied.
"You wanna sit down?" The kitsune girl shifted over a little, offering Ravage a seat on the rock.
"Sure." Ravage took up her offer and sat down on the rock. The girl looked back out to the horizon. "Nice view." Ravage looked out to the horizon with her. The little girl nodded.
"Yep." She continued to stare off into the distance with a smile on her face. "I wanna see more like it when I grow up." Ravage raised his right brow in curiosity. "Not just here... in this world... in all of the others as well. I wanna see more beautiful views, meet interesting people."
"How'd you know about other worlds?" Ravage inquired. The girl looked back over to him, still smiling.
"You told me." She answered.
"Huh?" Ravage scratched his head.
"You probably don't remember... it was a long time ago, for you." The little girl added. "But that's okay, I know you don't dream often... and even when you do, there's no guarantee we'll meet."
"Well I've probably asked this before but, what are you?" Ravage responded.
"Just a kitsune, like you... well, more like your mom but, you know." The little girl shrugged. Ravage nodded.
"So how are you in my dreams?" Ravage asked another question.
"I dunno. But you're in mine as well. How else are we talking?" The girl replied.
"I was wondering when it'd get weird. If I'm in your dreams though, I'd say it's more likely for them to be nightmares." Ravage chuckled.
"Nah." The little girl giggled. "I don't think you're scary or bad. You're cute and cuddly actually."
"Great, another one..." Ravage rolled his eyes, though he actually wasn't bothered. The kitsune girl giggled again.
"You sound like old you." She remarked.
"Old me? What'd ya mean?" Ravage was genuinely pretty confused now. "I'm always short and forever young."
"Heheh. We'll see." The little girl made a peace sign with her left hand. Ravage was left perplexed. "You're still a good person as an old guy, even if you are grumpy. Remember that."
Ravage's right eye slowly opened and he found himself back in the real world, back in Beacon Academy. He pushed himself up off of the ground and then sat up, resting as he took a look around. Raine was standing next to him with a smile on her face.
"Knew you'd overwork yourself." Raine chuckled. Ravage rolled his eyes.
"That was fun..." Yang spoke up. Ravage looked over to his left. She'd got back up before him and was sitting a small distance away with the rest of Team RWBY around her. "I had a great time... you're pretty good." Yang added.
"Thanks. You're pretty good too." Ravage replied, reaching into his red pouch. "Here..." He tossed Yang one of the special green beans, keeping three for himself. He needed at least that many right now.
"Thanks." Yang gave a thumbs up. They chucked the beans into their mouths and were instantly better and recharged. "Sweet! I could go for round two right now!" Yang grinned.
"I'm still wondering how those beans work." Weiss muttered. Ravage chuckled, pushing himself onto his feet.
"There's always the 4v1." Ravage responded to Yang.
"Oh yeah, I'm up for that." Yang cracked her knuckles. She stopped and looked around. "We'd better let Glynda repair this place first though..."
"You two really made a mess." Blake commented.
"Anybody else up for a bite to eat?" Yang inquired. The others nodded.
"Speaking my language." Ravage smiled.
"So, uh, that match was a draw..." Ruby rubbed the back of her head, smiling awkwardly. "Do... I get to... pet you now?" Ruby tilted her head to the side a little. Raine broke into laughter. Ravage chuckled. "Ravage?" Ravage kept on chuckling, followed by the rest of Team RWBY joining in. "Ravage?" Ruby kept on prying.
