Prologue -
Raven sat quietly in the tree directly across from the small cabin in the middle of Patch, she was currently in her bird form. She knew that this was a bad idea, but she couldn't live with herself after what she'd almost done. She knew she was afraid of Salem, but she never thought her fear would drive her to almost side with her.
After contemplating for a few minutes with herself she made her final decision on why she was there. She was going to try making things better between her and Tai. She swooped down off the tree and quickly changed to normal again. She began to shake a little as she approached the front door of the house.
Standing in front of the door on the front of her former home, she stared inside the window for a second, remembering back when Yang was just born, she sat there giving Yang her last hug before leaving...
Now she was back. After almost two decades, she was back.
It took her a few minutes but she finally took a step forward and knocked on the front door, her hands shaking intensely with anxiety.
"Be right there!" Came a familiar voice. Tai-Yang's voice. Her ex-husband's beautiful voice...
Raven stepped back and began to cross her arms nervously as the front door began to open. There stood Tai-Yang staring down at a letter in his left hand with joy, "How may I help-" Tai paused realizing who stood before him, "Raven...?"
"I-I'm sorry..." She began, stepping back a little as tears fled her eyes, "I'm so... So... Sorry..."
"You are? Took you 20 years to feel sorry..." Tai said, turning to the side with anger in his eyes.
"I... I... I almost... My biggest fear came true..." Raven said as she began to sob, "She found the tribe... Didn't hurt any of us... But... I-It's such a long story..."
"Well... Why are you here is where I want to start..." He grunted, "I might as well know that before I decide to let you in or not..."
"I-I'm coming back..." Raven cried out almost instantly, "I... I know I can never be forgiven but... I'm back... And I want to try and make things better..."
"Well... I guess come inside..." Tai insisted, gesturing for Raven to come in.
"I-It's... It's been so long..." She sighed, as Tai closed the door behind her, "But this place has barely changed at all..."
"Yeah... Guess cuz the girls aren't really here anymore..." Tai said as he walked to the kitchen, "Would you like some tea?"
"Sure..." Raven said, following behind him.
"Here. Sit down at the table." Tai gestured to Raven, as he began to make tea. Raven sat down as Tai quickly made tea for them. He sat the fresh tea down on the table, and sat across from Raven.
"So... What is it that's happened... I... Never really asked Qrow how you were... I only knew you were at least alive..." Tai said, pouring Raven a cup of tea and handing it to her, before doing so for himself.
"I-I... Well.. Remember when the spring maiden ran... Well... She kinda ended up with us... And..." Raven paused as she stared into Tai's eyes, "I came to the conclusion she wouldn't do good alive... And..."
"You killed her didn't you... An act of 'mercy' I suppose..." Tai said, glaring away, "So tell me why... Why did you side with Salem?"
"Wait.. How the hell did you find out about that?!" Raven yelled, "Wait.. What's that letter about anyways..?"
"Not important right now... But tell me... Why..."
"I-I... Well... I got the maiden powers..." Tai choked on his tea when Raven said that, "And... Salem's... Pawns... Summoned me to accompany them at Haven... I... I thought siding with them could get Qrow killed... So they agreed... I mostly was just going to try and get the relic first... My fear took control of me..."
"Soon it was the night of the attack... And... I fought that Cinder girl... The fall maiden... I won, and I believe she is dead now... But... I had a decoy... Vernal... I said she was the maiden... She wasn't... Well... She died though... Then Yang came... And she confronted me..."
Raven stopped for a moment before beginning to cry uncontrollably, "S-She... She made me realize how horrible a mother... And wife... I was and am... S-She made me realize that I'm not really Raven Branwen... I'm the Raven Branwen of the Branwen tribe... Not myself... I... I'm not myself anymore..."
Tai stood up from his chair as he came over to Raven and hugged her, "I'm glad you didn't lie..."
The two of them exchanged a long hug.
Now what about the letter? Well it was from Qrow... He explained everything he knew and could in said letter. He also informed that they were in Atlas, and that once they were done there, they'd stop by Patch for a while to take a break if they could.
