Alright, so my laptop crapped out on me so I've had to restart this chapter. With that said, I hope you all enjoy. Also, to address Kratos calling Ruby "Mikros" while Ozpin is calling her "Ruby", Mikros is Greek for Little One. So, there ya go. (P.s. I also went back and edited the last bit of chapter 1 so be sure to go back and check it out before moving forward.)
(A few days later)
"Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me," an excited, black-haired girl shouted while smothering Ruby, her sister, with a hug. The girl was tall, standing around 5'8, had long black hair, hazel-amber colored eyes with a long scar going down the left one with two smaller scars on either side, had a pale complexion and muscles that complimented her figure.
"Pweash shtoph," a worn-out Ruby mumbled.
"What's the matter? Aren't you excited," the girl asked.
"Of course I'm excited, Yang, but...I got moved ahead two whole years and I'm going to a new place where I don't know anyone. It's just a lot of pressure ya know?"
Yang walked up to her younger sister and wrapped an arm around her shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it, sis. We'ver been training for this our whole lives. We're ready."
"Dad didn't seem to think so," Ruby said as she winced at her sore muscles. "It feels like I've been put through a meat grinder."
"Yeah, dad's sparring sessions can be a bit rough, but stop worrying about what he thinks," Yang said, waving her hand in the air. "He isn't here now. It's just us two so let's make the most of it ok?" Ruby groaned in response and nodded her head. However, neither of the two expected their father to be waiting at Beacon."
Kratos stood outside the tall tower of Beacon Academy, having just arrived not long ago. With a grunt, he walked through the double automatic doors and up to a lady who was sitting behind a desk. "Hello," she greeted him with a kind smile. "How may I help you?"
"I'm here to see Ozpin."
"Ok, and may I ask your name please," She asked as she began typing on a keyboard.
"Kratos."
The woman gave a small nod as she continued to type. After a few seconds, she said, "Oh, looks like you're expected." She looked back at him with another kind smile. "Please take the elevator on my right. Top floor. Professor Ozpin will be waiting for you."
"Thank you," Kratos said and proceeded to the waiting elevator. He stepped inside the small room and pressed the button to the top floor. The doors closed and the room ascended quickly before coming to a stop. The double doors opened and Kratos stepped out into another, much bigger, room. At first, it looked pretty plain but then Kratos noticed the numerous cogs that filled the seemingly neverending ceiling. The massive window that Ozpin was standing at had clock hands that ticked every minute. It was like being in an actual clock tower.
Ozpin turned upon hearing the elevator doors open and said, "Ahh, Kratos. I've been expecting you."
"So I've heard," Kratos said as he walked further into the room until he was standing at Ozpin's desk.
"I'm happy that you decided to take me up on my offer. We could use your help around..."
"I am not here to help you. I am here to do a job and look after my daughters to ensure that they get properly trained."
"And the other students?"
"Everyone will be treated the same regardless of who they are."
"That's good to hear."
The elevator doors opened and inside the small room was Glynda holding her pad. "Professor Ozpin, the airships are arriving." She glanced at Kratos and gave an acknowledging nod which was returned in kind.
"Thank you Ms. Goodwitch." Ozpin grabbed his cane and his mug and headed toward the elevator. "Kratos, would you like to accompany us to the Ceremony Hall? We will be greeting the students."
"I will pass. I'd rather Yang and Ruby not know I'm here just yet." Ozpin responded with a questioning, "Oh?" which Kratos responded with "I wish to see how they will do tomorrow without knowing that I am watching."
"Very well. I trust you remember your way around?" Kratos nodded and with that, Ozpin bid him farewell. The elevator doors closed and the former God was left with his thoughts.
He turned to the massive window and walked to it to peer out over the academy. It didn't look all that different from the last time he was here. It was when he first met Summer and Raven, Yang's mother. They had been part of a team with two others, Taiyang, one of Ruby's teachers at Signal, and another man named Qrow, the girl's uncle and Raven's brother. They had been the ones to find Kratos when he arrived in this new land and, after some time, he had grown "fond" of them. Raven was the one who taught him everything about Aura and the Grimm while Summer taught him about the history and the strange technology of this land. He had gotten together with Raven about eleven or so years later and not long after they had Yang. But, Raven was not ready to be a mother and soon left both of them. sometime later, about a year, he and Summer married and had Ruby. It was shaping up to be a normal life for Kratos; until Ozpin sent her on a mission by herself and never returned.
Though it was Ozpin who sent her on the mission that led to her death, Kratos held no animosity toward the Headmaster. In his earlier years, he might have, no, he would have killed Ozpin and placed his head on a pike. Then he would have exercised his title of God of War and brought hell upon all who were involved or suspected to be. But, he had two daughters to take care of and for the first time a purpose other than blinding vengeance. So he vowed to train them and help them grow strong.
Kratos was pulled from his memories when he saw three huge airships landing at the platforms and hundreds of students flooding out of them. He knew his daughters were among them and not long from now they would be undertaking a difficult task, the Initiation. There, he would find out whether or not they were truly ready to be Huntresses.
Welp, here's chapter 2. I know these chapters are short, but that's kind of how I'm going to keep them for now unless there's a big scene happening like a fight scene or something like that. This will allow me to post more chapters in quicker succession assuming the computer I'm using now doesn't die too. Chapter 3 will be going through the entire Initiation so that we can get it out of the way.
