Greetings everyone! Hope you are ready for answers and a heartful reunion! Now this chapter will have some hints to how Alduin is in Remnant, but he will eventually tell his story to Blackheart later on. For now, the story he will tell will be a coverup. Anyways, let us begin!

Chapter 51

The bullhead ride to Kuo Kuana was a silent ride. Winter was gracious enough to lend them one before heading back to Atlas. A small price, but one that she didn't mind and the general would understand. She also told Weiss that she might take a few days off for 'family business' with their father. Weiss shuttered, thinking what will happen between Winter and their father. But still, at least Winter cared for her. Though she is disappointed that the flash-drive that Otengui had was missing, she would have given it to Winter to show her what activities their father had been doing and keeping it a secret. But it wasn't on him, nor was it anywhere in the base. The one thing that could bring her father down, suddenly gone from the world. But what's done is done, she just hoped Winter has some luck.

"Oh, I can't wait!" Ruby cheered, "We are going to meet Blake's parents!"

"Don't get too excited, Ruby," Summer said as she was flying the bullhead, "We are going to a 'Faunus Only' territory. Only Blake, Jonathan and Grif are Faunus while the rest of us are just humans."

"I think Arthur still has some Faunus in him somewhere," Jonathan said.

"Oh really?" Taiyang asked.

Arthur nodded and replied "Yup, my ancestor was a Faunus. Though I am surprised that I'm not a Faunus like everyone else."

"Same here," Grif said, "Would be awesome though, then half the team would be Faunus."

Yang then gave Weiss a teasing look and said "Oh Weiss, how would you feel if your boyfriend was a Faunus?"

Weiss blushed a bit and said "First, I wouldn't mind at all. And second, shut up!"

"Hehehe," Yang laughed, "I can imagine it now: Knight in the streets, Wolf in the sheets."

Both Arthur's and Weiss' face turned red with embarrassment as Taiyang just laughed. As everyone laughed a bit, Cinder looked over at Blackheart and saw him looking out the window. She walked up to him and asked "Thinking about Alduin?"

"Yeah," Blackheart said, "I have been thinking of scenarios of what will happen when we get there. Will there be an ambush waiting for us? A trap maybe? Or even something even worse."

"Sweetie," Cinder said, "Maybe you are overreacting about this."

"Perhaps," Blackheart said, "But better safe than sorry."

"I understand," Cinder said, "But how do you feel about him being Blake's godfather?"

Blackheart sighed as he rubbed his eyes and said "That is something I don't understand for the most part. How is Blake connected to Alduin? Her parents perhaps since they might have asked him to be the godparent. Which brings up another interesting point: Who exactly are her parents?"

Cinder thought for a moment and said "You do have a point. How would her parents tie in with this?"

"Guess we will find out soon," Blackheart said.

Just then, Summer spoke through the comms "Okay everyone, we are nearing Kuo Kuana. I am landing the Bullhead far away so we wouldn't get in trouble. We will have to walk from here on out."

When everyone agreed, Summer landed the Bullhead. Once she did, everyone got out and made their way to Kuo Kuana. While they were walking, Blake took a deep breath as she reached up and slowly took off her bow, revealing her cat ears.

"Guess I won't be needing this anymore…" Blake thought as she dropped her bow and continued to follow the others.

After a while of walking, the group eventually arrived at the docks of Kuo Kuana. Everyone was in awed when they saw different kind of Faunus everywhere, some were working in stalls while others were purchasing items from those stalls. The moment the group walked into the crowd, every Faunus saw them and were in shock to see a couple of humans on Menagerie. Everyone felt nervous when the Faunus were giving them confused looks as they heard them saying things like 'Are those humans?' or 'Why are there human here?'.

Summer leaned to her husband and said "Guess we are drawing a crowd."

"Yeah," Taiyang said as he looked around, "I guess it's been a while since they've seen humans on Menagerie."

"Sooooo Blake," Yang said, "What can you tell us about this lovely area?"

Blake nodded as she replied "Well, as you all know that this land is where all the Faunus come to live after the Great War ended. The whole continent is basically two-thirds dessert, so that is why most of the Faunus live near Kuo Kuana."

"What? Seriously?" Grif said, "You guys have that much space? Why can't you guys go and expand?"

"The desserts are like the ones in Vacuo," Blake said, "The wildlife is much more dangerous, not the mention the Grimm are far more aggressive here."

"Reminds me of a certain continent back in my old world," Blackheart thought.

"So basically, you guys were given a dangerous location in the corner of Remnant in hopes of keeping you guys satisfied?" Yang asked.

Blake sighed for a moment before saying "Pretty much sums it up."

The group went quiet until Grif said "Well so much for that."

When the group made it to a small hill, they were in awe when they saw Kuo Kuana in full view. Blake then said "Welcome to Kuo Kuana."

"Oooooooh," Ruby said, "So pretty!"

"I agree with Red," Victor said, "Mighty view."

"So Blake," Summer said, "Where do your parents live?"

When Blake heard that, she blushed a bit and said "Well…I do see my house from here."

"Oh!" Ruby said as she pointed at a nearby house, "Is it that one?!"

"No wait!" Yang said as she pointed at one far away, "Maybe it's that one!"

Deciding to get in the fun, Riku looked around as he pointed at a random house and said "I bet it's that one."

Blake sighed as she gently grabbed Riku's arm so she can use his hand to show everyone where she lives. She stopped his hand as he was now pointing at the large building structure in the center of the village. Everyone stood in silence and in shock before slowly turning their heads to Blake, who was looking down in embarrassment.

After seconds have past, Weiss said "Blake…explain…"

"Well," Blake said as her face turned red, "My father…is the Chief of Menagerie."

Another moment of silence occurred before they all shouted "WHAT?!"

Weiss the shouted "You mean to tell me that your father is the Chief of Menagerie?!

As Blake nodded, Ruby said "Is that why you were taken too?!"

"In a way," Blake said.

There was yet another moment of silence until Yang said "Damn…you are such a freeloader!"

Everyone looked at her as she said "Can't believe you. 'I promise to pay you back'. 'Oh thank you for buying this for me'. What the hell?!"

Blake coughed for a bit and said "Yeah…my bad."

"Wait…" Ruby said, "Does that mean…Blake is a princess?!"

Weiss crossed her arms and said "And you always tease me about being the heiress."

While Blake blushed more, Grif leaned towards Riku and whispered "Damn boy, you and Arthur hit the jackpot."

Victor shook his head and said "Lucky bastards."

Both Riku and Arthur blushed as Blackheart looked over at Cinder and said "This really explains why Blake was also taken."

"Yeah," Cinder said, "Executing Weiss was one thing, but also Blake, who is the daughter of the Chief of Menagerie? Leonidas must really hate the chief if he was going as far as wanting to execute Blake."

Summer then coughed and said "So…we are going to go and met your parent's, Blake?"

Blake nodded as she led the group to her home. After a few more minutes of walking, the group eventually arrived at Blake's home. The group stayed behind Blake as she walked up to the door and reached for the door handle. Before she could reach it, she stopped and was heisting a bit.

Everyone saw she was nervous as Riku asked "What's wrong?"

Blake looked back and replied "It's just…it's been a long time since I have been home."

"Well," Arthur said, "You made it this far, no point in turning back."

Feeling more nervous, Blake found her courage as she grabbed the handle and knocked the door, which let out a loud bang. Everyone tensed up for a bit due to the loud bang and waited for someone to open the door. After a few seconds, the door slowly started to open, revealing it to be Kali. As the older female Faunus looked at the group, her cat ears perked up when she saw Blake.

"Blake?" Kali said.

Blake gave her a nervous smile and said "H-Hi mom."

Seeing her daughter safe and sound, Kali slowly walked up to her daughter and gently hugged her and said in a relief tone "My baby girl. You're safe."

Seeing that her mother was really worried about her, Blake smiled as she hugged her back. Everyone smiled at the mother and daughter as a male voice inside said "Kali? Who is that?"

Everyone looked over and saw Ghira by the door, looking at them. But the moment he saw Blake, he was in shock and relief to see her. When Blake saw him, Ghira immediately rushed to her and hugged her and Kali. Everyone smiled as they saw the family hugged each other.

When the Belladonna family finished their hug, Kali looked at the others and said "And who are these people?"

Blake replied "These are the people are the ones who saved me and my friend."

"Oh dear!" Kali said, "You all must be very tired then! Please, come in! I'll have some tea ready!"

Everyone nodded as they all entered the large mansion. When they entered, they were amazed of the décor as they were led to a large dining room with the table so low to the ground that everyone had to sit on their knees. Kali came later as she brought a pot of tea and several cups.

Once Kali sat down by her husband, she looked at Blake said "I am happy that you and young Schnee here are alright. When we heard the news that you two were going to be executed, the both of us were scared."

Ghira sighed as he sipped his tea and said "Yes, Leonidas has taken things too far the moment he captured you and your friend. I was ready to send out my best to march to their base."

"But instead, Alduin went instead," Blake said as she sipped her tea, relaxing a bit.

"Them taking Weiss is one thing," Arthur said as he held his cup, "But I would never imagine that Blake was the daughter of the Chief of Menagerie."

"I know," Grif said as he added honey to his, "What did you do to piss him off? Not allow him to build a pool in the backyard?"

Ghira laughed a bit and replied "No, my boy. Let's just say that he and I didn't see eye-to-eye nor approved of each other's method in the White Fang."

"Wait," Riku said, "You were in the White Fang?"

"I was," Ghira said, "After all, I use to be the High Leader before stepping down."

Those who were drinking their tea spat out as they all looked at Ghira and then at Blake as Weiss shouted "Your father use to be the leader of the White Fang?!"

Blake coughed a bit before saying "Well…yes. He was the High Leader before the White Fang started to use…'aggressive' methods."

"Huh," Cinder said, "Guess now we know the full story behind that reason."

"So," Kali said, "I have to thank you all for saving our daughter."

"Well," Summer said as she motioned the Huntsmen-in-training, "These troublemakers thought it would be a good idea to save their friends on their own. Luckily, we caught on what they were planning and followed them."

As the students nervously drank their tea, Ruby said "Well…it worked out in the end, right?"

"I suppose so," Blackheart as he looked at Ghira and Kali, "Which reminds me, you two know the man name Alduin, right?"

Both Ghira and Kali nodded as Kali replied "Of course, he is Blake's godfather after all."

"So I heard," Blackheart said, "Just…how did you meet him?"

"Why don't you ask him that yourself?"

When everyone heard the voice, those who first met the person who spoke froze in place as they slowly turned their heads and saw Alduin standing by the doorway. Behind him were at least four robed figures, three were holding large trays of food, which was mostly sushi and grilled fish, while the last one was holding a pile of plates.

While everyone stared, Blackheart saw the robed figures, his eyes widened and thought "Those robes…those must be the people that Ruby saw. Damn it…they're Dragon Priests!"

The now identified Dragon Priests walked towards the table and set the trays down while the last one was placing plates on the table. As soon as Alduin sat down near Ghira and Kali, the Dragon Priests left as everyone just sat in silence. Some of them were a bit scared by the sight of Alduin due to the power he displayed earlier while Blackheart sat there cautious as he looked at the food.

"Well?" Alduin said, "It would be rude to just sit there and not eat what is offered to you."

"Um," Taiyang said as he straightened up a bit, "Just a little edge after…our fight against Leonidas."

"I'm aware," Ghira said, "Alduin told us that you all fought bravely against him. Not many could win against him."

Yang huffed and said "Tell that to tall, dark and moody over there."

Blackheart then quickly slapped the back of Yang's head to shut her up. Alduin laughed and said "It was rather humiliating…for him at the very least. Now…eat."

While everyone stared at the food, some thinking it might have been poisoned, only Blake quickly grabbed her plate as she filled it up and began eating it. Seeing Blake perfectly fine from eating it, everyone began to fill their plates with food and slowly ate it. Some rather enjoyed it while others were giving quick glances at Alduin…while also enjoying the food.

"Good," Alduin said, "Now that that's settled…I assume you know why you are here."

At the point, Blackheart slammed his fist on the table, causing everyone to jump a bit as he said "Yeah…how…why are you here?"

As Summer gave him a concerned look, Alduin chuckled and said "Of course, straight to the point. As you always were."

Everyone looked at him as Alduin said "As you all may have realize, Dovahkiin here is my younger brother."

A bit confused, Summer said "Um…Dov-ah-what-now?"

"Dovahkiin," Alduin explained, "That is…his name in our tongue. It translates to 'Dragonborn'."

"So wait," Taiyang said, "Dragonborn isn't just his last name? And what do you mean 'our tongue'?"

Alduin replied "As you know, my brother and I are a rare breed of Faunus: the Dragon Faunus. Perhaps the last of our kind. However, he is unlike me or our father. He may be a Dragon Faunus, but he is only part since he is half human. Hence, he is a Dragonborn, one who is born from a dragon. Me? I am a full-blooded Dragon Faunus. As for your second question, we have a language of our own, we call it the Dragon Tongue."

"Oh!" Ruby cried, "Johnny told us about that! He said his Shouts were supposed to be from a Dragon Language, that is how he can use them!"

"Very perspective of you," Alduin said as he turned to Summer, "I assume this little one is yours."

Summer blushed a bit and said "Yeah, she gets it from her mother."

Wanting to dig deeper, Arthur then asked "So…when was the last time you saw…your brother?"

At that moment, Blackheart shot him a 'Are you serious?' look as Alduin thought for a moment before saying "That is a good question. The last time I saw him was…"

He then looked back at Summer and asked "How long have you had him for?"

Summer replied "For almost 10 years."

"10 years…" Alduin said, "Has it been that long? It feels like it has been longer than that."

"That's because it was!" Blackheart shouted in his head, "Seriously, what the hell?!"

"And all this time, you didn't bother to look for him?" Summer asked, almost sounding upset, "He is your brother."

"That he is," Alduin said, "But as I said, it has been a long time. And he I assumed he was dead."

"Why would you think that?" Weiss asked.

Alduin replied "You see, I have lived in Menagerie for a LONG time, in fact, I have been living here before it even became Menagerie."

When he said that, everyone, except for Ghira and Kali, went completely silent until Riku said "Wait…YOU were living on Menagerie…for almost 80 years?"

Alduin replied "90 years, give or take."

"90 years?!" Victor shouted, "You're practically a grandpapi!"

"Why do you look so young?!" Taiyang cried, "Serious though, what's your secret?"

Alduin laughed and said "The secret lies in my Dragon DNA. See, our kind tends to age a lot slower than normal Faunus and Human. We can live to be hundreds of years old, and yet, we look like we are barely aging."

"Wait," Cinder said, "If that's true…then… Jonathan would stop aging at some point?"

"Hmmm," Alduin said, "It is tough to say. Since I am a pure-blooded, my aging is at a halt. Him, on the other hand, may age like a normal person, but I can't be too sure until he ages more."

Blackheart then thought "Of course he can't age, he is a god. Gods don't really age. But he has been on Remnant for more than 90 years? Why is he here? Why haven't I heard of him?"

"So…" Blackheart said, "If you were really my brother and I was lost…why didn't you find me?"

Everyone stood silent as Alduin said "You were young when we were separated, but you were born here, on Menagerie when you were born. Given life by Akatosh, our father. After your birth, he had left us, with me in your care. When you were young, he decided to go for a swim by the ocean. However, the tide was too strong and was carried away. I tried to save you…but you were far away and I…was unable to leave the land."

After Alduin said that, Blackheart thought "I see…I guess he cannot leave Menagerie. But who put him here…I swear to god, if it was one of the Daedric Lords, I will be pissed."

"What you mean you can't leave this land?" Arthur asked.

Alduin replied "How do I put this…my father gave me the burden to live in this land after his departure. Leaving this land would be impossible for me, no matter if I leave or escape, I will be transported back here."

"So…" Riku said, "Your father died and placed some sort of burden on you that prevents you from leaving? How does that work?"

"One of life's mysteries I'm afraid," Alduin said, "But I have tried everything to leave this land…but the results are always the same. And that is one of the reasons why I couldn't leave to find my brother."

Everyone sat silent as they took in everything Alduin said to them as Grif said "Ok…let's see if this is correct: You and your family lived here WAY before it became Menagerie. Your brother is HALF Dragon Faunus, meaning your dad had to get with a normal Faunus, which meant your birth mother…how did she die of?"

Alduin quickly replied "Old age."

"Right," Grif said, "She died of…old age? Really?"

"Yes," Alduin said as he rolled his eyes, "The real irony of their deaths was that of old age."

Grif then said "And your pops hooked up with Johnny's birth mom when?"

"I believe it was almost 20 years ago," Alduin said, "Around the time I met Ghira and Sienna."

"Who is Sienna?" Summer asked.

Blake then replied "Sienna Khan, she is my godmother and a family friend."

"Right," Grif said as he looked at Alduin, "So around that time, Johnny was born, then your father died but not without leaving you with the burden to stay in Menagerie for god knows how long. And soon afterwards, you lost your brother at sea and tried to save him but ultimately failed. And thus, the Johnathan we know somehow survived seeing how he is here and you are still living here, not knowing he was alive. Did I miss anything?"

Alduin thought about it and replied "No, that sounds about right."

"Great," Summer said, "Just one thing, and very important to consider, WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT UP A MISSING PERSON REPORT?! OR A FREAKING AMBER ALERT?!"

Everyone was taken back from Summer's sudden outburst as Alduin said "It wouldn't have mattered anyways, as painful as that sounds."

"You have to understand," Ghira said, "We tried our best to help Alduin, but the sea was large to cover and the fact that Grimm were present didn't help for that matter."

Kali then said "It was sad for all of us, especially since he was a child."

Blackheart then narrowed his eyes and thought "No they wouldn't. They know Alduin is lying and they are covering for him. But why?"

"But it worked out in the end," Kali said, "You were kind enough to take him in as one of your own."

Summer relaxed a bit and said "I guess…still…I'm mad that that happened to him."

Alduin then said "I would imagine raising him was too much trouble for you."

Taiyang waved his hand and said "Nah, he's a good kid. Though seeing him in action, I kinda understand how and why he is powerful."

Both Kali and Ghira laughed as Kali said "Well, thank goodness you didn't have any problems."

Summer raised an eyebrow and asked "Problems? What do you mean by that?"

Just then, Alduin coughed and said "Well…she meant any problems in regards to his…Shouts."

"Oh no," Summer said, "He was a good boy. But why would say that?"

"Yeah," Blackheart said, "Why would you ask if I had any problems with…"

"Hello, dear. I see the guests have arrived."

Hearing the new voice, everyone looked over and saw Sienna Khan standing by the doorway. However, they saw a VERY small figure standing behind her legs. Everyone looked closer as they saw a young girl wearing a dark red kimono that was sleeveless and had brown sandals. She almost looked like Sienna, from her dark skin, to her amber eyes and even the stripes on her skin. However, the only difference were the two small horns coming out from the top of her head. Everyone started at the little girl, but only Blackheart saw her…then at Alduin…then back at the girl…and then at Sienna.

"You…have…got…to be…kidding me," Blackheart finally said, "Is she…"

Sienna rolled her eyes, smiled a bit and said "I suppose he would forget about us. But if you all like to know, I am Sienna Khan. And this…"

She then gently moved the little girl in front of her and said "Is Tali Khan, my daughter. Or rather…"

She then motioned herself and Alduin and said "Our daughter."

The room was dead silent before everyone shouted "WHAT?!"

"You two had a daughter?!" Blake yelled.

"Oh, that surprises you?!" Weiss cried.

Sienna laughed a bit and said "Yes I had a daughter. She was born…after you left."

"Oh wait," Blake said as she remembered part of her past, "Yeah…I remember that you were going to be chosen to be the next High Leader, but you were unable to. I didn't know why, but last I saw you, I thought you were…um…"

"Oh no, go on," Sienna smiled at her while also giving her a dark look, "Say it."

Blake gulped and said "Um…bigger than normal?"

"Whoa hold up," Victor said, "You mean that tiger lady here was to be next in line to be the leader of the White Fang but couldn't because she had a baby on the way?"

"I'm sure I would have been able to," Sienna said before she let out a low growl, "But that bas…bad person Leonidas used that as an excuse to put himself ahead of me. In the end, he was named High Leader."

Taiyang thought about it and said "Well that's a bit harsh. A bit of a dick move on his end just to—Summer, what are you doing?"

Everyone blinked as they saw Summer kneeling in front of Tali, who was standing there nervous as she had her hands behind her back. Summer started at Tali and said "So…this little girl is Alduin's daughter…and he is Johnathan's brother…am I correct?"

"Um…" Alduin said as he was confused, "Of course, why you ask?"

"Because that would mean…" Summer said as her eyes got a bit teary, "That would mean…I am her grandmother."

"Really?!" Blackheart shouted, "Out of everything we learned today, that's what you're…"

All of a sudden, Ruby and Yang rushed to their mother's side as Yang excitedly said "Does that mean I am her aunt?!"

"And me too!" Ruby cried in excitement, "Oh my gosh, she is so cute!"

Taiyang facepalmed and said "I should of known that would happen."

Seeing Summer, Ruby and Yang close to her, Tali quickly moved behind Sienna and hid from the three of them. Summer, Ruby and Yang all whined sadly as Sienna laughed and said "It's alright, dear. Come on out, they won't hurt you."

Holding to her mother tightly, Tali slowly peaked out and saw the mother and the two daughters in front of her. While that happened, Blackheart glanced at Alduin and thought "So…he found a wife and had a daughter…big surprise there. Also surprised he would fall for a mortal, the old Alduin would have been against it…"

He then gripped his fists and thought "That would mean Mallokkulaas' death was nothing for him then."

"Awww," Summer said as Tali found some courage as she stood in front of them, "She is precious!"

"Who is a cutie?" Yang gushed, "You are! You are!"

As Tali smiled a bit, she suddenly felt her nose twitch a bit as she softly said "A…A…A…"

Knowing what was going to happen, Sienna's car ears flattened as she said in a worried tone "Tali dear, try to control it."

"Sienna," Summer said, "She is going to sneeze, you can't expert her too…"

Just then, Tali shouted "CHOO!"

Expecting a normal sneeze, the moment Tali sneezed, she released a massive shockwave that knocked Summer, Ruby and Yang flying away and the three of them collided to a wall as they got stuck in it while dished, plates and food were flying everywhere as everyone, except for Alduin, too k cover a bit. Once her sneeze finished, everyone looked at her in shock as they slowly turned to Summer and her daughters, who were stuck in the wall.

The three of them were wide-eyed as Summer said "Oh…so that's what you meant if Johnathan had problems."

Seeing this, Blackheart facepalmed and thought "And of course, Tali is technically a Dragonborn…great…"

And there you have it. Yes. Alduin has a daughter and her name is Tali Khan. I wanted to have a different name, but Tali was the first thing that popped into my mind. Now, for some of you wondering why Tali is a Dragon Faunus instead of a different kind of Faunus or a Tiger Faunus like Sienna. Here is the reason, for my story anyways: Dragon Faunus DNA is much more dominate than normal Faunus DNA, so no matter who the mate is for a Dragon Faunus, whether it was a Human or a different kind of Faunus, the child will always be a Dragon Faunus. And of course, the reason he cannot age is because, well, he is a god, they don't really age. Don't worry, Alduin will tell his story later on, so just stick around when that happens. Until then, please review!
