RWBY: Svan's Travels
Summery Part 1
At a tavern from the village of Shion on a rainy night, a depressed Svan requested a drink, but would still be too young, since he'd just only turned 16 tonight, so was just given a bottle of water. Just then, a stranger to Svan walks in, sitting net to him. The older stranger get his alcoholic drink and asked Svan of being too young to at a tavern, and what got so depressed to be here.
To which he answers to the stranger that his own mother doesn't know wouldn't even care about his only son's birthday. As she would only focus on harshly training him to be proper successor for her "group". The Stanger asks if what Svan's father would know, only for to say that his father died before he was even born. When the stranger than asked of his uncle, Svan replied that had no Uncle, his mother is his only family.
Suddenly, the stranger than shows Svan an old photograph of Team STRQ; Summer Rose, Taiyang Xiao Long, Raven Branwen, and Qrow Branwen. Svan shrugs this off in disbelief, believing the stranger might have one to many drinks and also that Raven was smiling in the picture, and he'd never seen her smile in his whole 16 years. Svan starts to leave the tavern after paying his his drink, Qrow starts to follow him out of the tavern. When Svan noticed Qtow walking behind him, his eyes start to turn from deep blue to bright violet, angered by Qrow's annoyance. When Svan was prepared to engage with him, Qrow stated that was how he knew that he was Raven's son, after he was watching for a while from a far distance at Svan's fight against several creatures of Grimm, with signs of no mercy. Svan would quickly try to stop his angerly glow, trying to calm himself down. Qrow would say that he was also shocked that Raven would have a son after what she did a year before he was born.
When Svan was reluctant at first but than asked "What did she do?" Qrow takes a sip from his flask, and than answered to "go find and ask your big sister, Yang, she'll want to know too." And says Happy Birthday to Svan before disappearing as Svan looked away for a moment of disbelief. Svan was shocked of what and who he'd just met. Svan was unsure at first what to do, he'd was sure that Raven would be furious of what he would tell her, let alone leaving the campsite without her knowing he was gone. So Svan quickly decided to hurry back to tell the only person of the Branwen Tribe that he's could talk to; his mentor and only friend Vernal.
After returning back to Branwen campsite, through a hidden opening he'd made and hide by some crates, and finding Vernal inside her tent, knowing that Vernal would answer his questions that Raven would refuse to tell answer to him that was... too personnel, and as long as Svan kept these secrets that Raven had trusted to her, he'd asked Vernal if Raven ever had a daughter before he was born. Vernal was surpassed that Svan ever ask a question like that, but would eventually tell him a great amount of Raven's past with Taiyang. Vernal trusted Svan to tell him this, for she would be more of a mother to Svan than even Raven herself. During Svan's childhood, Vernal was tasked to watch over Svan when was a infant, Raven was more focus on controlling and handling the tribe. Svan would learn respect and discipline, while also hard combat from her and at times Raven, for Svan was the only "true" heir for the leadership of the Branwen Tribe.
After Vernal tells him of having an older half sister was living somewhere in Vale, and keeping something and someone this important away from Svan, Vernal tries to reassure Svan that Raven is just only doing what's best for his future, only for Svan to say what's best for the tribe's future, not his, and reminding Vernal that Raven doesn't even know that of her own son's birthday. Vernal went silent for a moment, before asking Svan of what would be accomplished finding his older sister.
Svan thought hard about the question, the very moment he first heard of her from their uncle. But to have an older sister that Raven would behind, with only her father to raised Yang. Svan wonder how well she must have been taken cared of, did she find a new mother? siblings? Svan knew that for a while of something of great impotence was missing and empty in his life being raised in such a ruthless environment, despite Vernal's comfort, Svan wanted to find Yang, so could learn more of a family he'd never knew existed.
Vernal was hesitant to see Svan so determined to leave the campsite and in finding his long lost half sister. Vernal than decides to tells Svan that the only way that he could find Yang is by getting his mother's permission in letting him go, even temporarily, otherwise, Raven would just forbid him from leaving the tribe, and use her semblance of Kindred Links and create a portal to always find him. But Svan was doubting that her semblance would work for him, unsure that she's even bonded with her own son. Never the less and regardless, It was finally time for Svan to confront his mother about Qrow said to him was true or not. But before doing anything else, Vernal than surprises Svan with a small birthday cupcake, and said "happy birthday" to him.
Summery part 2 coming soon...
Decided to make this to a brief summery, similar to Fixing RWBY, and would try to make more later on. And speaking of Fixing RWBY... If Svan was in Fixing RWBY, He would be Vernal's older half brother, who would have to take more responsibilities than his little sister, with Shiloh being somewhat of a step father to Svan, while still feeling something missing in his life, and been visited by his uncle for the first time.
So how was the beginning to Svan's story so far? This would be set before the Yellow Trailer from RWBY, but I don't think Svan wouldn't be able to enter in Beacon academy, so... He'll have try and get a job, working as a mercenary for "you know who" but that thinking to far ahead for what would happen next.
