Ruby Rose had an active imagination for almost as long as she was alive and her father Taiyang and sister Yang would agree with that sentiment, but it had never become an unsolvable problem, mostly it was a nuisance every once in a while.

However, what little Ruby Rose was displaying right now was concerning.

It all started with her strange dreams.

Then after a few weeks of having the same type of dream, the delusions of grandeur appeared. She began talking about a city in the sky that was calling for her. The scary thing about it was that she truly believed that her imaginary sky city was real. At first Taiyang and her sister Yang humored her delusion, thinking it was just a joke she was playing on them, but after a while, it was clear that this was not a joke.

It became an obsession for little Ruby almost on the level of her love for weapons. Every night she would sneak out of the house and sit on the grass in front of the house looking up to the sky longingly. It was as if another person had suddenly entered Ruby's head. Of course that was not the case, but her behavior was odd, to say the least, and Taiyang did not know what to do.

Then, one day when Little Ruby and the still quite young Yang had gotten lost in the woods and attacked by two Ursas, Yang had been knocked out and lay on the grass and Ruby tried her best to defend her sister, but her scythe got smacked out of her hand and she got smashed against a rock. Half conscious and her vision blurry she faintly made out the sight of brilliant white feathered wings sticking out of the back of a set of shining silver and gold plate armor, then a flash of light burst out, then she fet a soft woman's hand on her shoulder.

"Sleep well. You are safe now" came the sound of a soothing woman's voice, causing her to shut her eyes before falling into the deep sleep of unconsciousness.

She woke to the feeling of someone shaking her awake. It was her sister Yang and her father Taiyang doting over her as she lay on her bed in her room. She was dazed for a moment, her mind fuzzy and discombobulated before everything came back to her.

"DAD! YANG!" She couldn't help but yell out in happiness. For a second she thought she might wake up out alone in the woods.

"I'm here Rubes" Her dad said, ruffling her hair with an affectionate pat.

Yang at the other side of the bed smiled down on her sister, happy that she was okay and that there was no lasting damage.

"What happened out there sis?" Yang asked Ruby. She had been knocked unconscious before Ruby and while she valued her sister's ability, she was certain she couldn't fight off the two Grimm.

Ruby sat up, taking the blanket off of her and rested against her pillow that had been propped up on the wall where the bed's headboard was.

Her eyes instantly lit up. It was one of the beings from the sky city in her dreams, she was certain of it.

"I remember big white wings and someone in shining gold armor, then a bright light before everything went dark. It was from the flying city, I'm sure of it. It even healed us! Right big sis? You had a big cut on your face, and it's gone now" Ruby almost yelled out of excitement, she was certain that the beings from the sky city had come to help them.

"Um, Ruby, the sky city isn't real. I don't know how I got healed or how the Grimm was defeated, but I think you're imagining things" Yang said to her sister in the least mean way she could, while still getting across the point. Her sister had been too obsessed with this sky city and that obsession was taking away the Ruby she knew, and Yang didn't like it one bit.

Taiyang had a different opinion than yang. Someone or Something had definitely destroyed the Grimm. In fact, all the Grimm in a two-mile radius were gone, as if someone had wiped them out methodically. Ideally, Taiyang would have liked to thank this mystery person for keeping his children safe and even bringing them back to their home and leaving them on the porch, but they hadn't left a calling card or any information. He didn't even know what they looked like.

From Ruby's description, it was someone with wings and golden armor. If there was someone like that on Patch capable of taking care of large packs of Grimm, he would have at least heard of them, but there was no one he could point to. The most likely situation was it was a local huntsman that returned his children to him. That much he was grateful for, but why didn't they announce themselves?

Those were thoughts he would have to shelve for later review and thinking.

Ruby was more important at the moment than whoever may have saved her.

"You don't believe me?" Ruby looked to her father and sister frantically with a hurt look, heartbroken as they turned their eyes away from her, not wanting to hurt her any more than they already did right now.

"Well, who saved you isn't as important as that you're safe right now back home. Don't go running off again okay?" Taiyang scolded the two lightly before getting up from the edge of the bed.

"Yang, Ruby, Stay here while I go get some stuff okay. I'll be back in twenty or so" Taiyang said as he exited the room. His thoughts on finding some sort of evidence on who exactly saved his children.

Taiyang hadn't spent much time on any actual investigative work for a while, however, he wasn't dumb or a slouch in any way. Taking his scroll from his bedroom, he did a quick lookup on the Local Patch News stations. There were two main stations that broadcasted news exclusively on the island of Patch. Patch101.5 and PNews. After looking through some of the programs on both for a good ten minutes, he got a lead. A local couple that had gone hiking in the woods had seen a very bright flash of light and strange lightning in the dense woods about four miles from their house.

"Progress" Taiyang thought to himself as he placed his scroll in his backpack along with a few other things he might need. He would go and look into exactly what went on for himself and to get rid of that nagging doubt he had with Ruby's story. It was something that bit at him and he needed closure. Surely Ruby was just imagining things, but he didn't want to put it to chance.

If some unknown hunter or huntress knew where they lived, who knows what could happen if they changed from friendly to hostile. Taking the motorbike he used on Patch and starting it up, he burst off towards the woods.

Shortly after, he arrived on the trail the witnesses spoke of. Slowly driving down it, there weren't any people there. Sure enough, he came to an area of the path that was marked with the evidence of lightning strikes. PArking his cycle by a tree a little off the path, he walked further into the woods.

Then he saw something he couldn't have imagined if he wanted to.

Sitting on a ring of stones in a clearing a short bit in front of him was exactly what Ruby spoke of.

Three men in gole and silver plate armor, with long Halberds and massive white wings on their back, were speaking with a beautiful woman with white wings, pale skin, and long blonde hair. The woman had crystal blue eyes and a long white robe. The men had face-covering helmets that had the design of a hawk's head and at their waist's curled up were whips of lightning that sparked and flashed.

Then, they seemed to sense him as the men stood up, readying their weapons as the woman took to the sky before shooting away with a sonic boom. Shortly after, the men did too. They were gone.

Taiyang let out a breath he didn't know he was holding as only now he felt the sweat pouring down his face. He was no coward. Not by a long shot, however, he wasn't sure he could take on those mystery people unharmed.

Were they faunus or something else entirely?

He didn't know, however, he and ruby were going to have a very very long talk when he got home. That was for sure.
