Ruby Rose was very excited. This in and of itself was not unusual. Ruby got very excited over most things, barring school work. However the reason she was excited was a very special reason: team JNPR was returning from their first ever mission!

The members of JNPR hadn't had time to tell them about the mission before they had left, but Jaune had messaged her after the Bullhead had left and let her know that they were going on a mission given to them by Ozpin himself to eliminate a pack of Beowulves. Jaune had also told Ruby to "give Weiss his love" but Ruby had chosen not to do that both for Jaune's sake and her own. It also may have been for more... selfish reasons. She wouldn't deny that she had a small crush on the blonde boy, but wasn't that to be expected? He had been the first friend she had made at Beacon, and the first boyfriend- guy friend, she meant guy friend, she had made who wasn't a member of her family. On top of that the only other boy she knew well enough to consider a friend was Ren, who wasn't exactly her type. Additionally it was a not-so-secret secret that a certain ginger haired girl had a massive crush on him, even if the ninja himself didn't realize it.

Of course, Ren wasn't the only oblivious one. Jaune was equally unaware of Pyrrha and Ruby's affections for him, though Ruby was pretty sure Pyrrha was also unaware of Ruby's feelings for the blonde klutz. However Ruby wasn't about to try and take Jaune away from the champion. Her feelings for Jaune were far stronger than Ruby's, and Pyrrha was his partner. Shoot, if Pyrrha asked for her help in winning him over Ruby would have gladly given it.

"Yo? Remnant to Rubes. Come in Rubes." A hand was waved in front of her fact snapping Ruby out of her thoughts. She looked up and saw her sister standing next to her. "How much longer do we have to wait out here? The humidity isn't doing anything good for my hair." The four girls of RWBY were waiting at the landing pads for JNPR for return. It was a fairly hot day, even with a comfortable breeze blowing, but Ruby wasn't about to go inside until their sister team had arrived, and neither were her teammates.

Ruby huffed and crossed her arms. "We'll wait as long as we need to Yang. They're our friends after all. They would wait for us too. Besides in her last message Pyrrha told me they were about half an hour away, and that was twenty minutes ago. They'll be here soon."

Yang sighed and ran her hands through her hair in a vain attempt to flatten it out. "I know, but I'm sooo tired of waiting it's not even funny. Pyrrha said they were being some guests back with them, and I wanna see who they are!" Yang leaned in close to her little sister and put an arm around her shoulders. "Maybe it's some hunky guys for us to date." She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

"Eeeewww Yang!" she pushed her sister off, "I don't want "hunky guys. They're all muscle bound and sweaty and they're so cool when they're not." An image of Cardin Winchester appeared in her head. Physically Cardin was the very definition of "hunky" as her sister put it, but if all "hunky" guys had attitudes like his then she'd rather stick to clumsy and scrawny guys any day.

Yang laughed and put her arm around Ruby again, pulling her into a crushing bear hug. "Relax sis, I was just messin with ya. I know your type is tall, blonde, and scraggly."

Ruby's face turned so red her cloak despaired. "I-it is not!" She freed herself from her sister's grasp and darted out of her reach, still blushing furiously. If she confessed to liking Jaune then it would mean no end of teasing from her older sister, especially in front of the blonde boy. "Besides even if I did like Jaune he likes Weiss, and Pyrrha likes him."

Yang's eyebrow twitched upwards in amusement. "I never said it was Jaune."

Ruby sputtered as her face somehow grew even redder. Weiss, who had been listening in on their conversation, cut them both off with an explosive sigh. "If you or Pyrrha want the dunce you can have him, though I can't see what either of you like in the boy."

"I do not like Jaune!" shouted Ruby as she stomped her foot. Yang opened her mouth to retort when someone cut her off.

"Girls, could you please keep it down? I could hear you even before I left the school, and all of the shouting is making it difficult to enjoy my coffee."

The girls of RWBY jumped and turned around at the familiar voice. Ruby pulled her hood over her face, which was dangerously close to turning purple in embarrassment. "Sorry Headmaster," she mumbled with the rest of her team.

Ozpin smiled kindly and took a sip from his mug. "It's quite alright girls. I understand you're excited for your sister team's return. I'm also quite eager myself. I thought I would come to the landing pads and await their return." He walked until he was next to the team and looked at Ruby over the rim of his glasses. Ruby herself had pulled her hood up just enough for her to peak out from under it and meet the headmaster's gaze. "Miss Rose, there is no harm in admitting your feelings for Mr. Arc. He's a good boy, if a bit clumsy. You could certainly do worse."

Ruby yanked her hood back down over her face and repeatedly stomped her feet in frustration. Yang laughed at the expense of her younger sister, who released her hood and launched herself at her sister, who caught her by the collar of her outfit and held her up in the air at arms length while Ruby swung her fists at her sister in vain, striking nothing but air. Ozpin chuckled and took another sip of his coffee as he watched the two sisters. Without looking at the heiress the headmaster spoke. "You know Miss Schnee, you could do worse than Mr. Arc too."

Weiss huffed and crossed her arms. "With all due respect headmaster I could do far better too."

Ozpin shrugged. "And you Miss Belladonna? Surely you have something to say in all this. Especially with your preferred reading material's mature subjects."

Blake turned crimson, snapped the book she had been reading closed, which happened to be the latest in the premiere erotic series "Ninjas of Love", and hid it behind her back. "Well... Weiss and Ruby can have feelings for whoever they want, but I'd rather not get involved in the love triangle between Weiss, Jaune, and Pyrrha. That way lays madness."

Ozpin laughed and took a deeper drink of his coffee. "An astute observation Mrs. Belladonna. You truly are the grounding factor of this team." He looked up at the Vale skyline and pointed at something in the distance with his cane. "I do believe that would be them."

Indeed a Bullhead was rapidly growing closer to Beacon. Yang dropped Ruby, who had stopped trying to swing at her, and the two sisters ran over to the landing pad to meet their friends with Ozpin, Blake, and Weiss walking after them. The five of them stopped at the edge of where the Bullhead would land and waited, some more patiently than others.

After a couple minutes the Bullheaded landed, the side door opened, and four figures hopped out. However one of them was not who they were expecting. Instead of the blonde, scraggly, halberd wielding team leader of JNPR it was a full grown, musclebound, halberd wielding man in full body plate armor with a helmet hooked to his side that was definitely not Jaune. Ruby frowned and looked at the three members of JNPR. They all seemed... shocked. As though they had seen something they could not quite believe had happened.

An icy sliver of fear pierced Ruby's heart.

Oh no.

She raced towards Pyrhha leaving a trail of rose petals in her wake. She stopped just before she ran into the red haired champion and looked up at the much taller girl. "Pyrrha?" The fear she felt for Jaune's fate slipped into her voice. "Where's Jaune?"

Pyrrha stared at Ruby uncomprehendingly for a few seconds, then pointed at the sky. "He... He's up there Ruby."

Ruby couldn't stop the pained gasp that escaped her lips. Her hands came up over her mouth. Tears welled up in her silver eyes.

No... No it couldn't be true. He can't be... He can't...

"Jaune..." She whimpered as the tears fell. "Oh Jaune..."

Pyrrha eyes grew to the size of saucers and she grabbed Ruby's shoulder. "Ruby he's not dead! don't worry!"

Wait.

What?

Ruby blinked. "What?"

"He's literally up in the sky Ruby. He should be joining us soon."

Ruby's mouth opened, then closed, then opened again. "Oh."

"I'm sorry Ruby," apologized Pyrrha, "I didn't mean to make you think he was dead. It's just... I have a lot on my mind right now."

"What do you mean?" asked a thoroughly confused Ruby. What had happened on their mission? Who was this weird man with JNPR, and why was Jaune up in the sky? Did he take a separate Bullhead from the others? Had his airsickness gotten that bad?

"It's... you'll see." The champion looked up into the sky and sighed. "Here he comes now. I wish he'd stop doing this. It seems very dangerous."

Ruby, the rest of her team, and Ozpin, all of whom had caught up with her, looked up into the sky with the three members of team JNPR and the stranger.

RWBY's mouths dropped.

Ozpin's mug dropped.

Jaune dropped out of the sky on top of a big cat, bird, thing.

The cat-bird, as Ruby was now calling it, spread its massive wings and swooped low over over them, its claws passing just a few inches over their heads. Its paws hit the floor of the landing pad as it skidded to a halt a few feet away, tossed its bird head back, and shrieked loud enough to rattle the windows of the academy. The spectators covered their ears as the beast shrieked. Jaune slid off of it, rubbing his own ears with the hand not holding his halberd. "You know," he said to it, "I get you're excited to be moving again, but you've got to tone it down. My ears can only take so much you know." The cat-bird huffed and rolled it eyes in response.

Team RWBY and Ozpin stared in open shock as the man in armor walked over to Jaune and the cat bird and patted its flanks. "It seems you have a natural affinity for Gryphon riding," said the man.

Jaune laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head. "Not exactly. I fell off like three times. I'm lucky Talon caught me with his claws."

Ruby leaned over to Pyrrha, whose back had become straighter than a metal pole when she had heard Jaune say he'd fell off in mid-air. "So... those are the guests you mentioned?"

"Yes," said Pyrrha stiffly, who Ruby swore was eyeing the cat-bird with something approaching murder in her eyes. "The man's name is Nathaniel. The Gryphon's name is Talon."

"Well," laughed Yang shakily, "at least one of them's a hunky guy."

Jaune looked at RWBY and Ozpin and jogged over to them. Talon and Nathaniel followed behind him. The blonde stopped in front of the shocked team and headmaster, whose mouth still hung open as he stared at Talon. "Guys, headmaster, this is Nathaniel and Talon. Talon is a-"

"A Gryphon," whispered Ozpin in awe. He stepped towards the cat-bird, no, Gryphon, with an outstretched hand, but stopped after taking a couple of steps. "I... Is he yours Mr. Arc?"

"Yes sir."

"May I touch him?"

Jaune looked at Talon, who looked back. The two seemed to have some sort of silent conversation, then Jaune looked back at the headmaster. "Talon's okay with you touching him. In fact you can all pet him if you like." The blonde shot a glare at Nora. "Except you Nora. Consider yourself on probation."

Nora groaned, "come on Jauney! It was just one time!"

"It was three times! And I warned you he would be upset if you called him an, and I quote, 'adorable little fuzzball of love and happiness.' You brought this on yourself."

"Fiiiiine," she groaned.

Ozpin stepped forward, his broken coffee mug laying forgotten on the ground, and gently placed his free hand on the Gryphon's beak. "Amazing," he whispered. "I had read about them in the documents I recovered, but I never thought I would ever see a Gryphon in person. Truly you are a magnificent beast."

"You have documents pertaining to the order?" asked the man in armor, Nathaniel. His hands tightened slightly on the haft of his halberd.

Ozpin turned to face the man. "Yes. I recovered them from long abandoned fortresses whose walls had given away to age, though most of what I've managed to collect were merely scraps. Who would you be?"

The man straightened his stance, his gaze never leaving Ozpin's. "Nathaniel. Knight of the Order."

Ozpin's hand left the Gryphon's beak and he made his way to Nathaniel, his hand outstretched. The knight took the hand and shook it. "Headmaster Ozpin, of Beacon Academy. I was unaware the Order still existed."

"Outside of me, Talon, and Jaune it doesn't."

"Oh?" Ozpin glanced at Jaune curiously, who looked away and shuffled his feet nervously. "I wasn't aware Mr. Arc was a member of the Order."

"He's not technically. Though I plan on training him to be so. He's... Well, if you have documents pertaining to the order then I would like to see them. Can we continue this discussion elsewhere? Preferably where it's just me, you, and the boy."

Ozpin nodded, "of course. Come with me to my office and I will share with you everything I've managed to collect pertaining to the order. Mr. Arc, could you please join us when you've finished with your friends?"

"Yes Headmaster."

The two men walked away, and Ruby was left with far more questions than answers. "Alright, hold on!" shouted Yang. "Who was that?" she asked while pointing at the back of Nathaniel, "and is he single? Secondly, what is that?" she pointed at the Gryphon, "and why were you riding it?"

"That's Nathaniel," said Jaune. "He's the last living member of an ancient knightly order called the Order of Light, and yes he's single." He patted the Gryphon. "This is Talon. He's my Gryphon, which is a part lion, part eagle war beast that knights of the Order of Light used to ride on. He's the last living member of his species. As for why I was riding him... well, because I can. He's my Gryphon, which means I can ride him."

Yang blinked uncomprehendingly. "I have so many questions," she whispered.

Ruby had her own questions, but right now there was a far more pressing matter at hand.

There was a fluffy, adorable in a could-probably-eat-you-for-dinner kind of way animal in front of her.

And she had been given express permission to pet it.

She zipped over to the Gryphon and halted right in front of it. Talon squawked in surprise at her show of speed. She held out her hand tentatively just over its beak. "Hi," she whispered as she stared at the Gryphon in awe, "you're really cool."

Talon blinked once, then twice, then bumped his beak against her hand. She took that as a sign that he liked her and squealed happily as she ran her hands through its surprisingly soft feathers. "He is so cool" gushed Ruby to Jaune.

He shuffled his feet and scratched the back of his head in that dorky way she liked. "Y-yeah. He's pretty cool."

Like a dam that had burst the other members of RWBY and JNPR, minus Nora, came over and started petting Talon, who as far as Ruby could tell was basking in the attention he was getting the same way Zwei would when they had guests over at their little house in Patch. The little reaper looked back at Nora, who look utterly devastated that she couldn't pet Talon. Ruby bumped Jaune and looked back at Nora pointedly. Jaune sighed and shrugged helplessly. "It's not my decision Ruby. Until Talon's not upset with her there's nothing I can do."

Ruby shrugged. She didn't want to have to do this, but he had really not left her a choice. Ruby looked Jaune dead in they eyes, and activated her most deadly weapon.

The adorable pouty face.

Lips quivered, arms crossed over her chest, and silver eyes grew wide and gazed at him through her lashes as she stared at Jaune forlornly, looking as though there was nothing in the world she wanted more than for Nora to be allowed to come over and pet Talon. Jaune tried to look anywhere except at her, but his gaze was inevitably drawn back to her, and within a few seconds he gave in. "I'll... I'll talk to him, okay? I honestly can't promise anything more. He turned to face Talon and the two again seemed to have another silent conversation, but this time head movements were involved and they would occasionally look at Nora or Ruby. "Okay, then let's see you stand up to it any better then!" Jaune stepped to the side and gestured at Talon. "Let him have it Ruby." Ruby looked at Talon, who looked back. She didn't know if her powers of persuasion would work on a Gryphon, but she figured it couldn't hurt to try.

She laid it on as thick as she could. Lips became more pouty and quivering, arms clasped her sides as she rocked on the heels of her feet, and silver eyes grew even wider and even began to fill with crocodile tears. "Please let my friend come pet you," she whimpered.

Talon stared at her for a good two minutes before he turned to Jaune and squawked once.

"I know, right?!" shouted Jaune as he threw his arms up in exasperation. "So Nora's good then?"

The Gryhpon huffed and rolled his eyes, but nodded. Jaune waved to Nora. "Nora you can come pet him as long as you promise to call him cute, fluffy, a fuzzball, or anything like that."

"Yaaaay!" cried Nora as he ran over and ran her hands through the Gryphon's feathers on his flank.

"So vomit boy," said yang as gently scratched the area where Talon's front shoulder blades and his wings met, "you can talk to him?"

"Not exactly," said Jaune sheepishly, "it's more like... I understand his thoughts, and he understands mine. He knows what I'm saying, but I can't understand what comes out of his mouth, er, beak, so I just kind of... understand his thoughts."

"Where did you even find him?' whispered an amazed Weiss.

"It's a really long story, and not one I want to repeat right now." he grinned at Weiss in what Ruby was sure was meant to be a roguish way, but came out as flat out dorky. That he nearly tripped over his own halberd did not help. "But he's pretty cool, huh? If you like I could take you for a ride on him. Just me, you, and the Vale skyline." Talon squawked irritably at Jaune, who jumped and blushed. "And Talon, of course. Heh." He straightened up, almost tripped over his halberd again, and attempted another roguish smile that was just as dorky as the first. "S-so what do you say?"

For a few seconds Ruby thought Weiss would actually take him up on his offer, but then she turned her nose up at him. "As if I would trust you ten thousand feet in the air. You'd probably drop me within the first five minutes."

Ruby looked at Pyrrha and smiled sadly for the champion, who smiled back and shrugged her shoulders in a helpless, "what can you do?" way. Ruby and Yang zipped over to Pyrrha. The blonde bombshell leaned over to the two of them and whispered, "you both know Weiss isn't into him, but now that he's got an awesome flying pet you two might want to get it in gear, because some other girls are definitely going to be interested in him when the rest of the school sees Talon."

Pyrhha frowned and looked at Yang in confusion. "Both of us?"

Silver eyes grew wide with terror. "Nothing!" squeaked Ruby as she grabbed her older sister and dragged her away from the others. "Yang Xiao Long," she whispered furiously, "I swear if you try to get some sort of competition going between me and Pyrrha I will tell Dad about your bike! I do not like Jaune. He's nice, and funny, and kind, and tells better jokes than, and kind of cu- handsome, but I do not like him. Even if I did, and I'm not saying I do, I wouldn't try to take him from Pyrrha!"

Yang smirked, but relented. "Okay little sis, I get it. I won't try to start a competition between you and Pyrrha. I had my fun. Promise."

Ruby eyed her sister warily. Yang was usually good about keeping her promises, but she was also a master of loopholes. Ruby would take what Yang had said at face value... for now. The sisters rejoined Pyrhha, who still looked confused. "Heh, sorry," said Ruby, "Yang was just being silly. She meant that you should get it in gear because some other girls are definitely going to be into him after they see Talon."

Pyrrha's face started turning the color of her hair. "I-I suppose, but he doesn't like me that way, and the last thing I'd want to do is make things in the team uncomfortable by making him aware of how I feel."

Yang sighed and shook her head. "What ever you say Nikos, but at least try dropping some subtle hints for him, just to see how he reacts."

Pyrrha shrugged, "maybe. I'll just have to..." her sentence died off as she stared off into space, then looked at Jaune, who was still trying in vain to convince Weiss of the merits of going on a flight with him. "Jaune!" she called out.

His head turned to look at the three of them. "Yeah?"

"You rode Talon all the way here?"

"Well, yeah. Why?"

"And you never got airsick?"

He grinned proudly and was about to respond when suddenly his eyes flew open in fear and his face turned a sickly shade of green. He sprinted to the edge of the Bullhead platform, bent over it, and promptly began discharging everything in his stomach. Pyrrha rushed over and stared rubbing his back as he barfed, whispering soothingly to him.

"Did he really forget he had airsickness?" asked an amazed Blake.

"I believe the exciting past few hours made him forget about his ailment," stated Lie Ren. "Being reminded of it probably brought it back." He patted Talon's side mournfully. "I weep for you great beast, and I pray that he never throws up while mounted upon you."

Talon warbled sadly as he watched his rider continue to throw up. The poor Gryphon was probably dreading the moment when he got puke all over his feathers.


Thirty minutes after Jaune had finished puking up everything in his stomach, possibly including parts of his stomach, he stood in Headmaster Ozpin's tower with Ozpin, Nathaniel, and Glynda in attendance as the Headmaster and Deputy listened to the story of how Jaune had come across Talon. The Gryphon in question was currently in the Emerald Forest, hunting for prey to eat and Grimm to kill. Team RWBY and his teammates had returned to JNPR's dorm to wait for him to come tell them them the story too after Ozpin was done with him.

Ozpin had told him and Nathaniel that he already knew about Salem and Vaya thanks to the documents he had retrieved from old Order fortresses whose sealed doors had failed, and even known about Jaune's importance to the order thanks to the drawing he'd found of Jaune, but he was ignorant of what Jaune's exact purpose was. After briefly discussing it between themselves Nathaniel and Jaune decided to tell Ozpin and Glynda about his role in the fate of the world. They knew enough that they would be valuable allies, and Jaune had conceded that Ozpin would probably find out anyway. He was good at that.

Jaune had to admit though that he was surprised at how calmly Ozpin was taking all of this. Hearing that Jaune was for all intents and purposes the world's savior should have made the white haired man go running for the nearest solid piece of cover available, but he simply poured coffee into his new mug, then raised the steaming brew to his mouth, sniffed the fumes appreciatively, and took a sip from the mug. A sip that quickly turned into him downing the entire cup in seconds, refilling it, and downing the whole cup again like a sober alcoholic that had found his way into the wine cellar. After his third cup Jaune realized that Ozpin was not taking the news of Jaune's role as world saving hero as well as he had initially thought he had, and that coffee was Ozpin's way of staying calm in a stressful situation.

That the Headmaster had a full cup of the black liquid with him at all times spoke volumes to Jaune.

Ozpin placed the now empty mug on his table. The thermos tipped over and fell of the table. Empty.

Jaune had attempted counted the number of cups the Headmaster had been able to fill up with that thermos. He'd stopped counting after ten.

"This is certainly..." interesting," said Ozpin calmly. "I will admit I am a little worried. You say we have roughly twenty years before Salem is strong enough to attack us?"

"Ten to twenty," responded Nathaniel, "most likely closer to twenty, but after ten years we should be ready for anything. That is of course, unless something happens to slow or speed her recovery."

"Like what?"

"Anything that increases or decreases negativity. She feeds off of it like her Grimm. The more of it there is the faster her recovery will be, but the opposite is also true. Everything we do to decrease negativity would likely buy us more time, though I couldn't say off hand how much."

Ozpin nodded and raised his mug to his lips, then stopped halfway when he realized it was empty. He sighed and put it down. "And you're sure Mr. Arc is Vaya's new champion?"

"I'm positive. That drawing you found proves it. He's our greatest hope for stopping Salem, probably our only hope."

"Hmmm." Ozpin rubbed his chin as he studied Jaune. The blonde could imagine what was going through the white haired man's head, and none of it was good. "That may be, but I have a few cards of my own to play. Tell me Mr. Arc, how does all this make you feel?"

Jaune laughed nervously. "Honestly sir? Terrified, but... I have to do this. One way or the other Salem is coming. I can't just pretend she won't. Maybe I'll be ready to face her, or maybe I won't, but I have to try."

For the first time since Jaune had arrived at the tower, Ozpin smiled. "That's a very good answer Mr. Arc. Tell me, how much do your teammates or team Ruby know of this?"

"Nothing," Jaune said honestly. "I haven't told them anything about Salem, Vaya, or my role in... all this. I'll tell them about the Order, and I'll tell them that someday it will be my job as Cailan's heir to revive the order, but for now I won't tell them anything else."

Ozpin and Nathaniel nodded approvingly. "That's a good idea boy," said Nathaniel, "the less they know, the safer they are."

"Indeed," agreed Ozpin, "however I do not doubt that this Salem has her spies planted all throughout Remnant, including in my academy. She will undoubtedly learn of Talon's existence and the Order's survival soon."

"She'll come after me and Talon, won't she?" asked Jaune. He had figured that would be the case. He wasn't excited by the prospect of assassin's trying to kill him at every turn, but he supposed that it would be a fact of his life now.

"I doubt she'll send killers after either of you, or Nathaniel," responded Ozpin. "Even if she has spies here in Beacon she has no real power here. However you and Talon should stay together as much as possible."

"Yes sir." Jaune said.

Ozpin lifted the mug back to his lips. This time it got a fourth of the way up before he put it back down with a sigh. "You may go Mr. Arc. I don't like you being dragged into this secret war of ours, but the fact is that you're in it now, and I fear you will be in it until the very end. Go and be with your friends. There is still much more you need to know, but it can wait until I've informed Nathaniel of these things and found a place for him here in Beacon."

Jaune nodded and stepped into the elevator, pushed the button for the floor the dorms were on, and listened to show tunes as the elevator trundled down.

That had been... strangely anti-climactic. He wasn't sure what he had been expecting, but it seemed that Ozpin already knew most of what was going on. They hadn't had to convince him to help them against Salem or convince him that they weren't raving lunatics. He had accepted everything calmly, at least outwardly. If the sheer amount of coffee the headmaster had downed was any indicator he was probably freaking out internally.

Jaune sighed as he stepped out of the elevator. It was going to be hard to keep all of this from his friends, but he had to for their sakes. The less they knew, the safer they were. Already he felt the weight of responsibility, the weight of the future, settle upon his shoulders like the imposing shroud of death.

Was this what Nathaniel and Ozpin felt? This sense that everything rested on their shoulders, their decisions? It was terrifying knowing that he was privy to information that had to do with the fate of the worlds, and he had no one his age to talk to about it.

Come on Arc. You can do this. You have to do this. For your friends, and your family.

If the weight of the world rested on his shoulders, then he would just use that weight strengthen himself in mind and body.

"Vaya help me," he muttered. He wondered if she was really listening to him.
