Chapter 2: A New Beginning
Kiron looked around the bulkhead that he was on to get an idea of who was in his class so far there was no one exceptional except a girl who looked awfully familiar. He had heard that she was two years younger than everyone else here and the big blonde chick seemed to be her sister if only he could get close enough to hear what they were saying. In a back corner reading a book was girl with long black hair and a bow in the center which means that she was trying to hide something but it wasn't time to pry into that just yet. Wondering the bulkhead was a guy in a breast plate over a black hoodie and jeans with a long sword on his hip who looked very motion sick. No one else caught his eye but that didn't mean there weren't others here that could prove to be a challenge later on.
As the bulkhead approached Beacon, Kiron took this time to "accidentally" bump into the short girl with the red cloak.
"I am so sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you," Kiron quickly apologized, "my name is Kiron Sivexin and you would be?"
"Ruby, Ruby Rose," the girl responded.
"You wouldn't happen to be related to a Summer Rose would you?" he asked cautiously.
When Ruby looked down Kiron had his answer and he planned on letting her know something later that night.
"Please meet me later tonight for there is something I have to tell you and your sister," Kiron told her.
He honestly did not know how she would take it let alone what she might say to him but he had an assignment to accomplish. It might be a bit to early but the sooner he told them the better it would be.
"Uh okay," Ruby agreed, "but why can't you tell me now?"
"To many ears," was his short reply as he made his way to the auditorium.
Kiron didn't look back even when he heard a loud crash followed up by a boom. He figured or wasn't anything that actually harmed anybody so he wasn't concerned too much about it. But he couldn't help but wonder if Ruby was some how at the center of both events. Well he would find out soon for now he had to get to the auditorium and be somewhere no one would notice him at least not at first glance. He was thinking something like above everyone.
Kiron found a place in the support beams that was hidden but he still could see everyone and everything below him. Now all he had to do was watch. Thirty minutes later he heard all about Ruby's eventful day and Ozpin gave an interesting speech but now was the grand tour of which he followed Glynda from a distance. He only approached close enough to keep an eye on Ruby but nor to close because he didn't want to be seen watching her.
As night approached Kiron went to the balcony that overlooked the courtyard and waited. He took the time to meditate as he waited for Ruby and her sister Yang to arrive.
"Its about time you two arrived," he said with out opening his eyes, "I have been waiting for about two hours."
"Sorry. We waited till everyone was asleep so we could ensure no one followed us here," Ruby chose to explain.
"So what's this big thing you want to tell us?" Yang asked.
"Yes please share it with all of us," Ozpin said as he appeared from the shadows.
Kiron stood up turned around and looked out into the court yard and took a few deep breaths.
"There is no turning back now," he told himself.
Taking a few more deep breaths he made sure he centered himself before delivering the big news.
"Summer Rose, your mother Ruby, is still alive," he finally told them, "before you ask I don't know where she is at but I do know that she is travelling around with her old partner from here. Raven I believe her name is."
Ruby looked like she was going to shout for joy and ask a million questions that he may or may not have answers but Yang held her back as Ozpin stepped forward.
"So she is alright but how do you know all this?" Ozpin questioned.
"Remember what I told you back when you got me?"
Ozpin nodded at this.
"She was the huntress that caught me and told me to turn myself in," Kiron started to explain, "along the way if there was something that needed to be dealt with discretely she informed me about it. The only issue is I have to wait to be contacted by her."
Ozpin nodded at this and went back inside with the warning that tomorrow was going to be along day and they should all get their rest. As Ruby and Yang went back Kiron looked out at the moon. Feeling something was about to happen, Kiron leapt over the railing and found a way into the city. He spent a good portion walking around the city until he went into a bar. Pulling out a fake ID he ordered the hardest drink they offered A Black Crow. It was a unique drink that mixed together several different types of alcohol.
"Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in," a loud booming voice shouted, "if it isn't the infamous Kiron of the Sivexin clan of warrior assassins."
"If it isn't the loud mouth of the Hunder clan," Kiron responded right back, "how long has it been Valgis?"
"To long my old friend. What brings you to this kingdom?"
Kiron quickly caught his friend up to speed on the happenings of his life sparring no small detail. All Valgis could was be amazed at what his friend had been through but stuff like this wasn't that uncommon in their line of work, after all they are assassin's and Kiron being the youngest of them all.
"The council will want to know of this development and will most likely want to hear it from your mouth."
"I know Valgis, but I am unable to that as of now," Kiron told his friend sadly.
The two finished up their drinks and left the bar. After exchanging farewells they both went their separate ways. As Kiron made his way back to the Beacon Academy, he felt as if he was being followed. Deciding to be cautious he drew his sword and kept it by his side. He knew better than to be over confident especially if the enemy was not seen. By the time he was on the bulk head the feeling had not disappeared but he noticed nothing suspicious or anyone suspicious astound him.
Upon his arrival back on Beacon's ground he turns his back to the entrance.
"I know you are there so why don't you come out and fight," Kiron shouted out to what looked like no one.
Kiron blocked a blow meant for his head. He looked at the uniform and noticed it was similar to his but this was definitely was a new student. Kiron quickly took control of the fight and forced his assailant on the ground and a very girlish humph came out. When looked up he saw his old teacher standing there with approval in his eyes.
"Do well tomorrow my old apprentice," he said and vanished with the girl.
Kiron bowed his head in respect and went back inside and fell asleep thus ending another day in his new crazy life.
