Go on take it.
That day my daughter and I just continued to share stuff about one another. That day we learned more about one another than almost anyone else. Seriously, the list that we knew about one another before hand could be written on a sticky note, with room to spare. Thankfully, something that I was dreading, the hard questions, were left for the next morning. One thing I did learn of was that she had been let into Beacon two years early.
"Wait, wait, wait. So you aren't 18?" I ask.
"No, I'm just barely 16."
"That rotten bastard. I told him specifically that no child of mine was going to Beacon until they were 18!" I say in anger. "He really went behind that many backs. Sorry Ruby, I don't think your gonna get a piece of him."
"Why?"
"Ozma has gone too far. There is no way he is surviving the beat down the arcs and I will give." I say as I stare off into my mug of hot chocolate.
"Who is this Ozma you keep speaking of?"
"You probably know him as Ozpin. He and I go way back. The first time I met him was when he was getting bounced back from life and the afterlife. That was one hectic day. And then weeks later when the two brothers offed the entire planet. That was one hectic month."
"Afterlife? He has died before. You have died before?" Ruby says emotionally, with tears in her eyes.
"No, sweety I have not died before. I am too strong for that. I was just got called in because it was messing with the order of life and death, he would be in line to have the paperwork done and then he would be brought back to Remnant then killed again. That was causing a big scene so I stepped in and eventually figured out what was happening." I say before turning away from her and start clenching my fist.
"The people who caused this eventually came to me and explained the situation and asked me to hold on his paperwork because they feared they would need his help. I agreed and they did need his help. That is how he is alive; however, I do not like how he was brought back nor what he has done since he was brought back." At this point, I start leaking dark magical energy.
"I have halted my hand because it has not harmed the grand plan and it hasn't affected me personally. Until now. He messed with my family, I don't care about the two brothers anymore. I am personally signing his papers!" I finish with a yell.
"..." Ruby silently stares at my outburst.
After I calm down I turn back to Ruby.
"Sorry, sweety. From what you know of my past you can tell how I feel about family."
"I know dad. It's just I could see darkness seeping off you." She says with a little bit of fear mixed with awe in her voice.
"Must have forgotten to suppress it. Don't worry it was just my magic expressing my feelings. Once you get strong enough you will also do the same."
"Wow."*Yawn* "Dad, I think I will turn in for the night." Ruby says as she stands up.
"Alright. here let me take you to your room." I say as she wobbles a little bit due to being tired and I scoop her up in bridal style and carry her to the room I had prepared for her.
Before I could even leave the living room, she was fast asleep. The walk to her room was short since the layout of the tent I have set up is meant for just a couple of people. As I lay her into the bed in the room I whisper "Goodnight my little rose."
Before I fully leave the room, I turn and smile as I see her sleep peacefully. I shut the door with a smile on my face.
Waking up the next morning was just as much of a chore if compared to the previous day, tho for different reasons.
"GOOD MORNING! Time to wake up!"
*Groan* 'Was this what it was like when I woke up Wiess? I am still not sorry about that.'
"Come On~. We are starting training today..." the call from my dad came again.
"Fine! I'm getting up, dad." I yell into my pillow. I slowly get up and look around the room to try and find some clothes for me. The room has many neutral tones with the carpet being a light brown and the wood on the walls a dark brown. The bed was an assortment of different reds; going from the deep cherry wood red to the lighter red of the pillowcases to the red velvet of the comforter. In one of the corners, there is a beautiful oakwood desk that has what looks to be silver engraving. All along one of the walls is a massive bookcase that could house both Blake's and my collections with room for growth. There are already some books on the shelf's but they are only a few and seemingly scattered about.
The last thing in the room was a large wardrobe. Like the desk, it was solid oak with silver-like engravings. It was a double door and opening it I found the left side had multiple drawers that held an assortment of undergarments, socks, and undershirts. The other side held an assortment of shirts, corsets, stockings, pants, skirts and other outer-wear.
At the bottom are two pairs of drawers that had locks on them. Trying to open them led nowhere so I took clothes that would be similar to my normal exercise wear and looking around I find two doors one being a double door and another is a single door. A quick glance inside of the single door shows that it is the bath, which is a blessing due to the fact I have not washed recently. A quick wash later, I change into the clothes I grabbed. Walking out of my room I found myself in the hall next to the living room. I was relieved my room was right next to the main room because if it wasn't it would have taken a lot longer. Deciding it would be most likely to find dad in the kitchenette I wandered my way over.
"Goodmorning, Glad to see you ready for your first day of training." My dad says as I walk into the room. He is wearing some sweats and a tee-shirt this time as well as his prosthetic. "The schedule I have worked out for your first section of training is on the table, We will be going easy for the first few days and see where you are and then proceed from there."
I walk over to the table and take a look at the schedule While he finished up cooking:

"This is quite a dense schedule, dad. Are you really calling this light?" I ask.
"Well this is much heavier than what I had, but then again I had terrible habits and I didn't have one on one training. With what I have seen of how you study you should be able to finish through the seventh year in all of these subjects in six months while going at a decent pace." He responds as he ferries the food to the table.
"Really?"
"Yea, when I got your transcripts from your school it surprised me how fast you went from basic algebra to Calc. 2." He says as we start dishing up our food. "Though it really shouldn't have surprised me. When I initially went to school I had already learned enough magic to have passed the finals. Though I did have to hide it"
'What could have happened that caused him to hide his ability?' I ponder.
"Attempted abuse by a manipulative old man will do that to you."
'Wait, what!' I think as I dropping the serving spoon in surprise."You were abused? How... Why?"
"My relatives were not very fond of magic. Their excuse was they were trying to beat the unnaturalness out of me." He said as he continued to dish up his food. "They got away with it by making people think I was a ruffian. They managed to convince everyone, even school teachers. Though I feel like they had some help from the magical side of things. The headmaster of the magic school thought only he could lead the magicals to a new golden age. Sadly due to his manipulations, it resulted with the destruction of our society."
'I'm starting to think I had the better life.'
"In any case, I am sort of glad they were so harsh on me, I might not have had survived half the things that were thrown at me with a decent upbringing." He says with a smile, finishing up with getting food. "At least I was able to get a nicely enhanced body that could take the punishment that rivaled the superhero spiderman and then was able to train to get even stronger."
I start to wonder if I want to meet my extended family as I pick up my fork only to have dad slams his hand on the table right before my fork touches the food. Surprised by my fork bouncing off my food I look at my dad who is sitting there with his eyes wide.
"What?" I ask in confusion, why would he stop me from eating after we had already served up?
"I just finished the schedule. I probably should have taken a break but I decided to make breakfast."
"Yea, so?" I ask still confused
"Look at your schedule," he said with a groan.
I take a quick look at the schedule and the second and third line reads "4.30-6.30: Endurance Training 6.30-6.45: Breakfast", 'shit'. I take a quick look at the clock that reads 4.25. Taking a second I resign myself to this workout. I put my fork down, stand up, and wave my dad to show me where to go. He leads me to the entrance flap of the tent and leads me outside where I get my first look at where we are.
If some one can guess where they are I will be impressed. Considering I only have the faintest clue.
I do love input considering I am pretty bad at this. I sort of just realized that with what I have planned out for this story I could rap it up in the next five chapters, eight if I am able to figure out some more scenes for each new chapter. but that feels too short for a good story, even a fanfiction one. Maybe I should work on getting one of my other stories to were I can slide this Ruby in, but how I would do that without ruining the story I have planned for it, I haven't the foggiest. Where I would have This Ruby by the end of this story Would be overkill in that universe, Even if multiple of the characters there could easily wipe the floor with her.
