Path to the Hidden City
Two hours have passed since Glynda revealed the whole truth to the boys about herself, the Golden Beacon city, Ozpin being a guardian, the Grimm having a leader named Salem, and them supposedly being the two chosen warriors that will protect the city and free the world from Salem once and for all. It was a lot of information for them to take in, normally other people would think this story to be crazy and impossible, but deep down they can tell Glynda was telling the truth though not sure how exactly can they save the world by themselves. She mentioned that there will be other warriors in the city that can help train them to become stronger and help them be ready for the time when they'll have to face Salem.
"Hey Glynda, there is something that's been bugging for a while after you told the story." Sun said to the woman who is reading a book while the plane is still on auto-pilot.
"Yes." Glynda responded, taking her eyes off the book.
"You said it's been 40 years since you left the city, right?" Sun asked.
"Actually, it was 37, I can't believe it's been away that long and I'm finally returning home." Glynda said, looking out the window, imagining how much the city has change over the years.
"Yeah, well, what I don't get it that how is that you look so young like in your late thirties?" Sun asked, Jaune spirt out his drink of the shock from the question.
"Sun! You know it's rude to ask a lady about her age!" Jaune scolded.
"Hey, I'm just curious." Sun said.
"It's fine, there is one more thing I should tell you. When those who have their aura unlock like me, it not only grants you power, but it can also slow down your aging a little, so you can fight longer." Glynda explained.
"So, if we get our aura unlock, we can look a bit younger when we reach our forties? Awesome!" Sun excited.
"Yes, I believe I was about… around 20-years-old when I met Ozpin." Glynda mentioned.
"I can't wait to get there, I wonder much have they been catching up through the change of time in the world?" Sun asked curious.
"We still have our ancient traditions, I guess you could say we're a bit behind about a few decades though Ozpin managed to help update us and we have some technology." Glynda answered.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
The beeping on the ship went off, Glynda got up from her sit and head to the piloting room.
"Huh, what's going on?" Jaune asked, a little scared.
"No need to worry boys, that just mean we have arrived at the first checkpoint." Glynda announced.
"Checkpoint?" Jaune confused.
"Buckle up, I'm going to land the plane." Glynda said. The boys did as they were told.
"I'm still surprise that you know how to fly a plane, Glynda." Sun commented.
"Well, I took a few lessons with Ozpin until I gotten the hang of it on my 13th try." Glynda explained.
"…13 tries?" Jaune sweatdropped, feeling a little scared about this info.
"Man, all those poor planes…" Sun said nervous, looking a little pale.
Outside, the plane flies around in circles a bit until it got close to the land bringing out its landing wheels and they touch the ground for forward for a while until the plane fully stops at the edge of a jungle with its nose barely touching a tree.
"Alright boys, we're here." Glynda announced as she turns on the seatbelt sign letting them know it's okay to move around.
Jaune and Sun got their things they packed up for the trip though they weren't entirely sure for how long they were going to be gone, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared. They follow Glynda as they exit the plane and stare at the big wide jungle right in front of them, seeing all the tall trees and hear birds chirping as they fly above them.
"So, this is the jungle where the city is hidden besides the forcefield?" Jaune asked.
"Yes, here is where the path of the Golden Beacon start for travelers should they wish to find the city and Ozpin was the first person to found us in centuries to found us." Glynda said, looking at one tree with a mark of two axes crossing each other like an X in a circle.
"Awesome, let's get started!" Sun excited running off but was stop by Glynda's semblance.
"Do you even know where to start looking for the trail to the Golden Beacon?" Glynda asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I don't think Oobleck taught us that in history class." Sun chuckled. Glynda rolls her eyes and release Sun.
"If you're not too careful, you could end up getting lost in the jungle for months or years, getting caught in the traps our people set up. Or both." Glynda warned.
"Guess you guys are being caution since Watts, huh?" Jaune guessed.
"He fooled us all, even Ozpin who once trusted that mad scientist." Glynda grunted, feeling anger rising from the memories of that man.
"Hey, don't worry, I promise Jaune and I will not do anything to harm your people and we'll do everything we can to help." Sun promised with determination in his eyes.
"Yeah, I'm still scared about all this, but I won't turn my back on the people who needs help." Jaune vowed.
Glynda smiles, though they are still young kids they have more hearts together than any grown men she knows besides Ozpin, perhaps these boys can bring light to the Golden Beacon just as Ozpin believes in them. And maybe she would like to get some alone time with Jaune when she gets the chance, she couldn't help but admires the cutie's bravery.
"(Wait, cutie, where did that come from?)" Glynda thought asked herself, shaking the thought out and turn her back on them.
"Follow me and stay very close together, the jungle is still dangerous even with my guide." Glynda warned.
"Got it!" Sun smirked.
"Let's hope we don't get eaten." Jaune prayed to the Gods for their safety.
And so the trio have enter the jungle starting the journey to the Golden Beacon as Glynda hopes everyone back home are doing okay during her absents, Sun feeling pretty excited as always wondering what the city is gonna be like in person, and Jaune try his best to be brave for his best friend and promised himself to carry on Ozpin's will even though he didn't have choice to begin with.
They walk through the jungle passing by some trees and moving some giant leaves out of the way, Sun look up at one tree and got a fun idea he always wanted to try out since he was a little kid. He climbs up a tree and stand on a branch, grabs hold of a vine making sure it's safe and start swinging while shouting out the famous Tarzan yell, getting Jaune and Glynda to look up seeing the silly monkey boy swinging around like a jungle boy then became worry.
"Sun, look out for that tree!" The blonde woman and boy tried to warn Sun, but it was too late as Sun crash into a tree.
He slides down a few feet until his body fell off and falls to the ground, Glynda stop him in just when he was inches close to the ground as she sighs.
They came to a stop at a river, decided to take a short break after wondering in the jungle and Glynda uses her semblance to pull out a boat that has been hiding in the brushes setting on the shore close to the water. They climb aboard and rood the river to the other end, the boys see fishes swimming by and going on ahead like they're faster than the boat, a fork path is up ahead as Glynda knows which way to go by turning the boat left. They ride the river for a few more minutes until Glynda spotted the tree with the same mark of the Golden Beacon like the other tree from before and land the boat on shore than they continue the way on foot.
They find themselves standing at an old-looking rope bridge that leads to the other side of the large, deep cavern as they couldn't see the bottom as is nothing but darkness down there. They carefully walk across the bridge seeing as the wood could give out any second now, Jaune nearly fall when he steps on one wood, but Sun quickly grab his arm and pull him up.
"You know, I should have some people look that." Glynda said, thinking this bridge could either use some repairs or an upgrade.
"Yeah, you think?" Sun asked sarcastically.
"Oh, this bridge is making me feel dizzy." Jaune groaned.
Once they got to the other side of the bridge, they walk through a path through some trees. Glynda's eyes narrow to her right after hearing a stick snapped, stopping in her tracks as the boys stop as well.
"Glynda, is everything okay?" Jaune asked.
"Boys, get to a safe distance." Glynda ordered holding out her riding crop.
"What, but why?" Sun asked.

Then suddenly something big came out of the trees revealing itself to be two giant snakes: one is black, and the other is white. Both looking at the three humans with hungry looks in their eyes.
"What the hell is that?" Jaune asked panicking.
"It's a Grimm, a King Taijitu, two-headed snake that both heads are at each end." Glynda answered quickly before push the charging black head to missing them and crash against a tree.
Jaune and Sun quickly hid behind a tree as they watch to see how a warrior of the Golden Beacon city fights against those Grimm she told them about. Seeing one with their own eyes sure is scary seeing the dead in their eyes like all they care about is destruction, they hope Glynda can handle this consider she probably haven't fight in years since leaving the city.
Back to the fight: Glynda use her semblance to lift some broken sticks with sharp ends and send them attacking the giant snakes though it did little affect as the white-head go around a tree and pounce at the woman, but she saw it coming jump backward to avoid it and send the stick for the eye as they spin really fast like flying-drills moving at high speed. They pierce through one eye of the white-head making it hiss in pain, the black-head charge at her from the left as Glynda stop it and slams it to the ground a few times before pulling a tree down on top of it. The white-head now hiss in anger as Glynda runs around pointing her crop at the sky, while the white-head is busy trying to catch her in its mouth dark clouds form above them with a thunder sound.
"Is she making those clouds?" Jaune asked.
"What, is she gonna make it rain?" Sun asked, hoping Glynda knows what she's doing.
Glynda dodges the strikes and see the cloud is ready, she quickly jumps out of the way of the white-head's attack and swing her crop down as the cloud started raining down sharp ices impaling the white-head on the head and body. Hissing of agonizing pain before fall to the ground dead as Glynda stand proud of victory and the cloud disburse.

"Awesome! That was so cool that way you move, and you made the clouds appeared that was crazy!" Sun commented exciting as he comes out of hiding.
"Are you okay?" Jaune asked worry.
"I'm fine, that Grimm was just the exercise I needed." Glynda grinned.
However, the Grimm was not fully down for she only dealt with one head as the black-head got the tree off and hiss in rage at Glynda and the boys who are shock. Just as the black-head was about to charge at them, something or someone on a tree jumps off with the hand turned into gold and dives down at the black snake slamming it down piercing it.
"Guess being in the outside world have made you soft, huh, Glynda?" A woman voice said, hoping off the dead black-head as Glynda gasps of seeing a familiar face she has not seen in a long time.
The woman's appearance to be a South American native woman with mocha colored skin. She wears a white slip and a pink, orange, and white top. She also has brown eyes, straight black hair with flat bangs, two earrings, and two jade bracelets. One thigh high black stocking, elbow length fingerless glove-like gold gauntlets, and a gold ball hanging by a black belt wrapped around her waist. Breasts sizes: G-cup.
"Chel!" Glynda shouted in joy, running to her friend into a hug.
"It's good to see you again, Glynda." Chel smiled, hugging her friend back.
"Yes, I can see you look better than before." Glynda complimented.
"Thanks, had to keep myself in shape while you were gone." Chel said, she looks behind her friend seeing the two boys as Jaune waves at her nervously.
"Dips." Sun whispered, almost falling for the woman.
"Glynda, the barrier suddenly disappeared, is Ozpin…?" Chel asked, pausing her question though Glynda already knew what she was asking.
"I'm sorry Chel, but Ozpin… he's no longer with us." Glynda informed sad.
"…I see, and those two?" Chel asked about the boys.
"Ozpin risk his life to let us get away, believing them to be the saviors like the elder foretold." Glynda answered.
"Really?" Chel surprised.
"We made a promise to help you beat the shit out of Salem, we owe it to Ozpin." Sun stated holding up a fist.
"Whatever we can to help, we'll do it and more if we have to." Jaune added.
"Wow, you guys have guts." Chel smiled, maybe these boys can be the saviors they've been looking for.
"Come on." Chel gestured them to follow her.
Jaune and Sun follow the two women through the woods for a minute and gasps of seeing the very place they were sent to.
"Jaune, Sun, welcome to the city of the Golden Beacon!" Glynda welcomed as they stare at the large building structures.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Jaune and Sun have finally arrived at the Golden Beacon where the legend has started as they'll become legends themselves, hopefully they'll be up to the task to carry on Ozpin's will to protect the place. Now that they got a look at a Grimm and Glynda fighting, they'll have to step up their game for this.
