I don't own RWBY it belongs to its respected owners. I got this idea from The Legend of Ruby by Rassilon001. And yes this fanfic is a Qrow being Ruby's dad fanfic.

"This is talking."

*This is thinking.*

{This is ghost talking and only Ruby can hear them. If they can be seen then the sine for talking.}

Enjoy.

Ozpin was in his office minding his own business. Glynda and the other teachers were getting ready for the new school year. When all of a sudden Ozpin hears an odd sound. "Hello?"

The sound got louder. "What the Dust is that sound?"

It got louder. "Glynda? Glynda is that you?"

The sound got louder. "Port? Oobleck? If this is a prank that you two came up with. I'm going to make sure that Glynda uses you two as an example of what happens to students who prank their teachers!"

"Now, now Ozpin."

At hearing the voice Ozpin's eyes widen and got up with his cane ready at hand. But out of nowhere an odd purple sword piercing through his chest. A pale white hand with red markings rapped around his chest. When the other hand was on his women placed her chin on his rightsholder. "Is that any way to act?"

Ozpin wheeze a bit. "Salem... What... Are...You...Doing...Here...?

"Oh, I just wanted to test to see if this sword will kill you for good."

"What... Are... You... Talking... About...?"

"Oh, this is a sword I made myself. If I made it just right then you're dying for good. As in I just ended the your curse and you won't be merging with a like-minded soul."

At hearing that Ozpin's eyes widen even more than he was before. "What...?"

Ozpin looked down to see that the sword was indeed glowing and soon the sword was gone and ended up being held by Salem. "Oh don't worry Ozpin. I'm going to stay for a little bit longer. After all, I want to see you take your last breath for the last time."

Ozpin's breathing starting was now lesson and lesson. *Is this really it?*

Just then something that Ozpin thought was odd was happening. "La, la, la..."

*Singing? Who is singing?*

Just then Glynda and Qrow got out of the elevator. "Ozpin we need to go over... Ozpin! Let him go!"

Salem looks at the two and then back at Ozpin. "Looks like I need to go. Goodbye for good."

Salem then threw Ozpin at the two and was gone just like that. "What the Dust was that about? Glynda is Oz...?"

Glynda looked at from Ozpin to Qrow was a grim expression. "He's gone and I think she did something besides piercing his heart."

At hearing that Qrow went to the desk and played the video of what happened and listened to what the two were saying. Which as it played Qrow's eyes widen. "Oh no."

Glynda looked at Qrow with concern. "What is it?"

"If Salem is right about that sword, then Oz isn't coming back."

"What?!"

"That if she made that sword right. There is still a good chance that he is not in some random boy again."

Glynda looked at Ozpin's dead body. "What are we going to do?"

"I'm going to look for him as soon as we tell everyone that Ozpin was killed again. I dought that Salem found a way to kill Oz for good. And we keep the info about what that sword might have done to him."

"Not even Ironwood?"

"Especially Jimmy. If he finds out he will take matters into is own hand and in a bad way. Like maybe another Grate War bad."

Glynda nodded her head and the two got to work on informing everyone of what happened.

Meanwhile, Ozpin opened his eyes and saw that he was in a little girls room. {What the Dust? How did I get here?}

"Tee hee."

At hearing the voice Ozpin whipped his head to see... "A mini Summer?"

Just then Summer walks in the room. "Ruby its time for lunch."

"Summer thank goodness your here..."

Just then Summer walks through Ozpin. {What the Dust?! Did Summer just walk through me?!}

Ruby smiled at Ozpin and he looked back at her. {Does only the little girl can see me?}

Summer then walks out of the room with Ruby leaving Ozpin alone. {Alright what is going on? What did Salem's sword do to my curse? I bet the two brothers are laughing their buts off! I bet that sword wouldn't have done anything but the two brothers let something happen. But why am I at Summers home?}

A month later Raven just killed the Spring Maiden, but something odd happened the power didn't do what it normally does when a Maiden dies. "What is going on here?"

Meanwhile, Ozpin was alone with Ruby who was supposed to be taking a nap but kept looking at him. "Story!"

{Now Ruby your sitter said that it's nap time.}

"Story!"

{No Ruby.}

"Story!"

{Why I'm I even still in the room?}

He then looked at Ruby. {Oh that's right everyone is out and Ruby and Yang are being babysat by some student from Signal. And I can't go too far from Ruby because somehow I'm linked to her and the sitter is making the two take a nap when she is having fun watching TV.}

"Story!"

{What time is it?}

Ozpin looked at the clock that was in the room to see that the two have been in the room for some time. Ozpin then looked back at Ruby with a knowing look. {You're not going to fall asleep without another story aren't you?}

"Story!"

"Alright, alright I think I have one that you might like.}

"Yay, Story!"

Ozpin smiled at Ruby. {Deep in the forests of Remnant, beside a great and mighty river, stood the small, fragile home of a cold, frail man, a lone wizard.}

"Wizard?" Ruby tilted her head.

Ozpin smiled at the girl. {A man who has magical powers that don't need to use Dust or semblance.}

Ruby's eyes widened at what Ozpin in wonder. "Magic?"

{Yes, Magic. Now, where was I... Oh that's right.}

Ruby looked at him already wrapped up in his story. {Hidden from the dangers and distractions of the world, the wizard seldom had visitors. But on this day, as he peered out his window, his gaze fell upon a young maiden.}

"Maiden?"

{Yes, a maiden which she sat calmly beneath his tree in a state of absolute tranquility. When the wizard demanded an explanation, the maiden simply replied, ^My name is Winter. I am on a journey, and I am waiting for my sisters.^

With that, she closed her eyes and sat in silence. The wizard told himself the girl was a fool, but the longer she sat, the more he wished to share in the serenity the young maiden enjoyed. In time, he grew tired and decided to close his eyes as well, thinking on this strange predicament.}

"What?"

Ozpin smile grew. {Upon opening his eyes, the wizard was befuddled to find that a second maiden appeared beneath his tree, cheerful and spry, with a basket of fruit and flowers. When he asked for an explanation, the girl simply replied, ^My name is Spring. I am on a journey, and I am waiting for my sisters.^

To show her gratitude for his reluctant hospitality, the girl retrieved a handful of seeds from her basket and planted them in the wizard's garden. The old hermit could hardly believe his eyes as the maiden turned what was once a mere pile of dirt and manure into a beautiful garden, from which life would surely blossom. It's likely he would have gazed for hours, were it not for the unfamiliar laughter he heard from beneath his tree. A young woman with a warm smile now stood beside the two maidens. The wizard begged her to introduce herself, to which she happily responded, ^My name is Summer. I am on a journey, and I am waiting for my sister.^}

Ruby then looked at Ozpin in shock. "Mommy?!"

{No the two just have the same first names. In fact, your Mom was more than likely named after her.}

"Really?"

{Yes, now on with the story.}

Ruby looked at Ozpin in wonder as he kept on going. {^Of course,^ thought the wizard. But another chirp of laughter left the old man perplexed. What in the world was so funny? As it turned out, it was him. The new arrival found the wizard's insistence on staying indoors so very amusing. Why choose to view the world through a small window when the door leading out to it was right at his side? It was a compelling argument. And after only a moment of brief hesitation, the wizard left his home.}

Ruby started to lean in being hoocked into the story. {And stepped outside. The warmth of the sun brought with it a surge of energy and life, and soon the wizard wasn't feeling much like himself anymore. He was feeling much better. As the day drew to a close, the maidens and the wizard all settled down and prepared a feast. Winter set the table. Spring supplied the crops, Summer prepped the meal, and the wizard was the happiest he'd been in ages. But in all the excitement, he nearly failed to notice the delicate woman that now stood beneath his tree. He smiled and beckoned her to join them, asking only for her name. ^My name is Fall,^ she replied softly.

^I am on a journey and am here to meet my sisters. Who are you?^

^Me?^, the wizard wondered.

^Well, I am but an old hermit, I have lived in these woods alone for centuries and I'm afraid my story is not very interesting, as I have no one to love and nothing to my name.^

The elder sister looked up at all that surrounded them. ^But sir, do you not see? You have so much.^

It was true. With their help, it was now clear to see that the wizard had everything he could ever need. He was grateful, but a question lingered in his mind.

^Why me?^, he asked.

Ruby looked at him in confusion. "Why not?"

{He felt like he didn't deserve to have the four maidens being a part of his life.}

"That's silly."

Ozpin only nodded his head and kept on talking. {^Why did the four of you choose to open my eyes? To share with me your gifts? Why am I so special?^

The four sisters looked to one another, perplexed. Finally, the eldest spoke. ^I beg your pardon sir, but we did not do these things for you because you were special. We do what we can for everyone because we are able.^

The old wizard was at a loss. Never in his years had he come across such kindness. It was in that moment that he knew what should be done. The wizard summoned his magic, every ounce he could muster, and bestowed it upon the sisters. He smiled. ^Take this gift, and know now that you are able to do so much more.^

Now armed with the elements, the very powers of nature, and the unimaginable magic of the wizard, the four maidens, Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall, promised to carry on with their journey, using their gifts to aid others, just as they aided him. One by one, the sisters left. Before they did, they made one final promise. They promised to return each and every year, to visit their dear friend.}

Ruby looked at him with sleepy eyes and started to lay back down. Ozpin smiled at Ruby and walked over to her and pulled the blankets over her. {Why is it that I can touch items, but Ruby is the only living thing I can have contact with?}

{Does that rule applies to us as well?}

Ozpin wipped around and his eyes widen at who he saw. {Spring, May! What are you two doing here?}

{I don't know one moment Raven was killing me because she thought I won't make it in this world and then the next I'm here with you and the first Spring Maiden. But what about you?}

{Salem used an odd sword on me and it looks like we are all being bond to Ruby Rose some how.}

Spring looked at the girl then back at Ozpin. {Could this maybe be her semblance that somehow awakened early? I remember Fall telling me that happened to one of my other older sister's. It is 1 in 1000, but it does happen especially if one or more parents are huntsman.}

At hearing that Ozpin's eyes widen again and he walked over to Ruby once more and placed a hand on Ruby's head and channeled his aura and at that moment felt it. Spring was right somehow the one-year-old girl awakened her semblance right around the time Salem had killed his last body. {Okay your right about that. But what kind of semblance is this?}

Two years later...

Summer Rose was very confused. No, wait confused was mild to what was going on. She was outright at a lost at what just happened. One moment she was being killed by Salem's lackeys, the next she was in her little girl's room. Ruby was having a tea party with three people who for the longest time she thought was Ruby's imaginary friends. But now she can see them and she knew one of them. {Ozpin...?}

Everyone froze except for Ruby who looked at her and smiled. "Mommy!"

Ruby ran up to Summer and hugged her which Summer hugged her back while looking at Ozpin. {Ozpin what is going on?}

Ozpin wasn't sure if Summer was dead now or that Summer can now see them so he had to ask. {What was the last thing before you saw us?}

{One of Salem's lackeys attacking me I thought I was going to die and now I'm here. Now, what is going on?!}

Ozpin gave her a remorseful look. {I'm sorry Summer but you really are dead.}

{What...?}

{I don't know how but Ruby unlocked her aura and semblance right around the time Salem had killed my last body. Which looks like it makes some of those who are dead get bonded to Ruby somehow.}

Summer looked at Ozpin in shock. {So you've been here for two years now?}

{Yes and I would leave the room when you were changing her outfits or bath time. I respect people's privacy even if they are little young to know what that is.}

Summer looked at Ozpin and then at Ruby and then thought of something. {Wait?! You're the one who she kept asking stories for even though I already gave her one?!}

{Yes, well she liked the stories that I tell her.}

Spring smiled. {Yeah, he loves to tell her the Four Maidens story and stories that I never heard of before.}

{Hey when you live as long as I do you pick up on a lot of stories.}

Summer then looked at the two women. {I'm sorry but you two are?}

{Oh my name is Spring and I'm the first Spring Maiden and this is May the last Spring Maiden.}

Summer's eyes widened. {What?!}

Ozpin cleared his throat. {Yes well... It looks like Ruby's semblance is collecting the Maidens and because of that any Maidens that die when Ruby is alive well... The powers that they have won't be going to a new host any time soon...}

At hearing this Summer looked very scared. {Do you know what would happen if Salem found out about this?!}

{I know! The only good thing about this is that at the moment only Ruby can see us!}

At hearing that Summer froze because Ozpin was right. She, Qrow, Tai, and Yang didn't know that the three have been here and that they were bonded to Ruby. Whenever they would ask Ruby who she was talking to she would just say her friends. Which they all just thought that she was talking to some imaginary friends. But now that she knew the truth she didn't know what to do. Ruby looked up at her mommy. "Mommy join our tea party?"

Summer looked down at Ruby and smiled. {Sure sweetie.}

Ruby smiled and lead her to the tea party.

A few days later Yang was waiting for her dad to leave the house. After her Aunt Summer died, her cousin Ruby and her Uncle Qrow moved in their house. Which Qrow was out on another mission when her dad was going to go to the school that he works at. Once Tai left she ran up to Ruby's new room which she was asleep. "Ruby get up."

Ruby got up and looked at her. "Yang...?"

"Come on Ruby, we are going to find my mom."

Ruby looked at Summer. {Don't you two dare leave this house.}

Ozpin nodded his head at this. {Your mothers right Ruby. Even if Yang found Raven it wouldn't be a good thing. Raven was the one who hurt May.}

{There right, she did.}

Ruby then looked at Yang. "Mommy and friends said no."

At hearing that made Yang very confused for a moment but then very mad. "Your Mommy is gone, Ruby! Now come on!"

Yang picked up Ruby who was now trying to get away from her. "No! Bad Yang! I'm telling Daddy and Uncle Tai!"

"None of them are here for you to tell Ruby!"

At some point, Yang finally got Ruby dressed and in the wagon and started to walk off.

Once they got to the abandoned house Ruby looked around seeing the red eyes before Yang did and looked at her Mom and the others. "Help!"

Summer looked at Ozpin. {There has to be something we can do?}

{I don't know what we can do...?}

Just then Ozpin started to see that Ruby's aura was showing a bit. {Or maybe there is something?}

The three women looked at him in confusion. {What?}

{Ruby your feeling something mix in with your fear right?}

Ruby nodded her head. {That is your aura sweetie. I think your semblance is starting to evolve.}

Ruby tilted her head. "Evolve?"

Yang looked at Ruby for a moment. "What was that?"

But Ruby wouldn't talk to Yang and kept on looking at Ozpin. {Yes it means that your starting to do more than see us dead people.}

"More?"

At that moment Yang gave up and looked at the building as Ozpin went on. {Yes, I think if you let your powers go you might be able to let Yang see us and let us fight the Grimm.}

At hearing that Ruby smiled. "Really?!"

{Yes, really but you need to focus the power and think about how you want us to be seen and for us to keep you safe. Do you think you can do that?}

Ruby nodded her head and started to focus and just then Yang finally saw the red eyes. "Oh, no..."

Just as the Grimm were about to attack. The four got their weapons back and three of them ran to fight the Grimm when May ran to Ruby and Yang to keep them safe. Which shocked Yang a lot. "What the...?"

Once the Grimm was gone Summer looked at Yang and Ruby. "Yang what were you thinking running off like that?!"

"Aunt Summer?! How are you alive?! And who are these people?!"

Summer walked over to them. "It is a long story..."

"Sleepy..."

Just then everyone looked at Ruby who was now starting to fall asleep. Which once she did, the four could no longer be seen by Yang. "What the Dust is going on here?!"

Just then Qrow ran up to the two. "Yang! Ruby! Are you two okay...?"

Qrow looked around seeing the dead Grimm that was fading away and saw that the only people there were him, Yang, and Ruby. "What the Dust happened here?"

"I don't know but one moment it was just Ruby, the Grimm, and me and then the next Aunt Summer and three other people kill off the Grimm and then they were gone again."

Qrow wipped his head and looked at Yang. "What?"

"Yeah and I don't mean them running here kill the Grimm and runoff. I mean they poof here and then poof gone again!"

Qrow was now getting a little skeptical at what he was hearing. "Right...? What could have made that happen?"

"I don't know?!"

"Right... I think this was a little much for you so why don't we take you two home."

And with that Qrow put Yang in the wagon and took them home.
