Ok so far I've gotten a moderately good reception from the first chappy. Thx for taking the time to read. Now we will be doing some time skips with flavor text to allow us to get to the start of important character building and intros. Cuz if we're being honest, who in the hell wants to read about an adult in a babies body? It gets bland and everyone has done the same damn thing every time. Experience childbirth as child, done. Having to deal with eating,sleeping, and shitting urself and ur embarrassed, done. Starting to do full workout regiments when ur like 4 or 5 yrs old, dafuq dude that's majorly unbelievable and unhealthy for a toddler. Anyway, no more word padding, let's get to it.

Also should be a given that I don't own the rights to rwby or any media referenced in this story. One would think that's obvious but apparently i have to put this disclaimer in every chapter.

So ya know how in every isekai and reincarnate story out there, the mc talks about how traumatic it is to experience their birth, how embarrassing it is to be a baby and have baby issues, and all such things.

Well it's all bullshit.

Do you really think that a newborn babies brain can handle the higher thinking capacity of a grown ass adult? Cuz if you do then you might wanna read up on some medical journals cuz honestly, the first thing I can actually remember is waking up at 1 1/2yrs old on a Thursday in July.

Specifically I remember waking up crying because I technically just started a new life and had to come to terms with the fact that the people I know and love will never see me again and vice versa.

When you read those standard shounen stories, they dont really talk about the real mental trauma of a reincarnation. Especially the crushing feeling of wasted what amounted to your entire life on something you'll never see or even be around for its legacy.

Guess there really is something behind all those villains that want to leave their mark no matter what they do. Granted I'm no little bitch like them who, bitches and moans about how unfair the world is and because life is unfair I must make everything hell for everyone else.

Idiots the lot of em I say. If you're gonna be a villain, at least have a real reason. Like insanity or insatiable desire and hatred for all.

What's the point of being the power hungry villain who wants power for the sake of power. Whoopty-fuckin-doo, ya got power or your empire, what the fuck now? Too much work and too much of a hassle to have so many enemies and the like.

...

Where was I? Oh right the existential crisis of being reincarnated.

Anyway when I woke up crying in a crib in an orphanage in Mistral, I really didn't expect it. Granted maybe I should have, the Brothers Grimm did tell me my background was gonna be random and I wouldn't have a choice.

So from then on I was wide awake, thirsty, and wondering what the hell I knew about Mistral.

One it's on the far eastern continent on Anima. Two it has a Colosseum, one where Pyyrah Nikos was the 4 time champion of. Three, I'm on the same continent as Nora, Ren, and Pyyrah. Four, somewhere by the time I'm five or six, Summer Rose will be ambushed by Tyrian Callows somewhere in the countryside more towards Mistral... I think.

Shit do I even want to try and interfere with the death of Summer? Can I? I'd have to unlock my aura and semblance right before but who would be willing to do so for me. Then there is the logistics of how in the hell I'd find Summer.

Also if I save Summer, will Ruby even be herself? Would she still throw her life on the line to always be there fast enough to save any and everyone? I mean this is now real life, who's to say her motives won't change now that I'm here to fuck up the script.

Ya know what, I bet she still would. She is her mother's daughter after all and Tai yang would still support his daughters towards being huntresses. Qrow would even turn out to grow into a better person faster if his unrequited love Summer was still around. Granted Winter might become lonely if Qrow doesnt pull his head out his ass.

Maybe once I turn 18 and meet Winter during the Vytal festival, she'd be into younger guys. Again this is all hypothetical and contingent to whatever decisions I make these next 4 to 5 years. Or even if my body can support such strenuous situations.

Also how would I go about education on Remnant and weapons training. What the hell would I even use as a weapon? Scythe? I've always thought of them as cool and always wanted polearm and staff training, but then I'd be another cliche edgy boy with a Scythe.

Kamas? Or hand scythes? Nah still to cliche. Maybe a glaive?

Yeah glaives are cool. It's like a chakram that has miniature scythes attached. It'll have hand to hand melee capability and range by my throwing it.

Fuck how will I get it to come back to me... clothes with gravity dust weaved in? Use the Force? Yeah that sounds about right, especially when I get my semblance I can use it to help with that. I can even make it so the glaive has a handle in the middle and rotate on a track like a makeshift chainsaw as well.

Would have to work on range and fine control though.

For times when I cant use the glaive, I can have gauntlets with hidden blades in them for both offensive and defensive situations.

Fuck how is a Mistrali orphan gonna even get the capital to afford this shit. Maybe there is a junior league in the Coliseum. Otherwise I'll have to learn to thieve and all that.

Actually why couldn't I do both. Train and fight during the day and be a thief at night and learn to pickpocket. Where is Emerald Sustrai from? Is she from Mistral? Would I run into her? Would I be able to turn her from the path she walks that leads to her destruction? What about Cinder? Would I be able to separate the two or even turn Cinder? I mean what Cinder was in her late twenties in the show? Emerald would have been in her early teens when Cinder finds her and canonically Emerald and Mercury are like 19 during the Vytal arc.

Yeah now that I remember, Haven academy is here in Mistral. So I actually have a large chance of running into those 3 as a grow up.

Fucking hell... the Brothers and Monty really want to put me in a hard position dont they.

*Sigh*

Ok, so first objective, see if I can get into contact with the Rose -Xiao Long family and warn Tai or Qrow about Ozpins plan to sacrifice Summer at the hands of Tyrian and Hazel. Knowing Tai hed probably freak while Qrow would do everything in his power when Summer runs away for the mission.

How the hell would I even go about it without sounding insane... truth?

I mean I can bend the truth at least. Tell them that while I'm a reincarnate, during my rebirth I had visions of the future and Oz's treachery.

Cuz let's face it, that's exactly what it was when he sent Summer alone towards what he knew for sure was a suicide missions. He manipulated her hero complex and her want for peace for her children. He's honestly a right bastard when you look at his backstory and motivations. He never had any real intentions of ending the war. Just a perpetual stalemate that would keep the status quo.

I mean his original intention was good but along the way he let his pride and guilt towards his wife Salem and the loss of their children, get in the way of fixing his mistakes. He even acknowledged that but never really tried to change... As far as I know.

Plus I'd have to get in contact with them somehow. Do the scrolls have yellow pages?

Also I dont have to say they were part of a show/webnovel series.

Though knowing Qrow hed be immediately untrusting of me unless I gave some hard facts that no one would know unless they had some foreknowledge of the future. Like maybe how his sister will kill the current Summer Maiden and Vernal will become the next one. Or was she the Spring Maiden. Wait, how old was Raven when she killed the Spring Maiden? Late twenties? Shed still be eligible for Maidenhood. She also would definitely be power hungry and cowardly enough to have someone be a Maiden decoy. Because... wait.

If the Maiden powers cant go to someone above 30, and Raven was the one who killed the one before, the chances of Vernal, a bandit in the Branwen tribe, would become the next Maiden would be 1 in a couple million. There'd be no way in hell Raven wouldn't want the power for herself and wouldn't kill Vernal.

RAVEN IS THE REAL SPRING MAIDEN!

SHIT!

Well now I know for damn sure I'm in the thick of it with just that little bit of knowledge.

Fuck my life dude... well at least I know for damn sure on how to get Qrow to believe and trust me. I'm a goddamn analytical genius.

Ok that's Summer saved.

What else? Training and funding for school and materials.

I'll burn down that bridge when I cross it.

"Aawyeygehsdy!"(Time to wing it) I say as i pump my squishy baby arms.

-3yrs later-

Ok, so I'm 4 yrs old, I can talk and run around, I've been reading schoolbooks on dust and Grimm along with forging and blacksmithing. I dont really need to worry about Remnant history out of what the orphanage tutors tell us and what I remember from the show. Also I know math all the way to basic trig so I'm pretty much set education wise.

Today is adoption day for the little ones, which includes me, and depending on which people get picked, hopefully me cuz that will put some plans ahead by a year or two, it will also decide who gets government funded school and potential huntsman training for those with suitable Aura capacity.

Turns out yeah, everyone in Remnant has an Aura, it's just that many dont have high enough capacity and control to even have a body shield. Which makes sense now that I think about it.

"Ok children, today no one will be leaving the orphanage until after the adoptions are over. That include you Mr. Dorian Chromic." The Head Lady Ms. Beatrice says while looking at me with a stern glare.

Turns out my adventures to find a young Emerald Sustrai to save her were not very appreciated.

Neither were my adventures in pickpocketing and thieving. Granted no one ever expects the 4 year old kid walking around in clothes too big for him to have fast enough has to steal a wallet, especially when he's built a reputation of being nice and polite and helping people with their jobs around the city.

I've built a good amount of a lien nest egg. I'm already at over a thousand, just a couple more years and I can afford tuition to go to a school for young children who want to be hunters. I'd even be able to bring another person with me.

Also, as it turns out, being 4 or younger, it's really hard to go out and about, especially when the headmistress of the orphanage takes the safety of all the children so seriously. Especially, especially, when it turns out you're a faunus orphan.

Yeah, turns out I'm a faunus now too. So now I gotta deal with racism in this life too. In my last one I had to deal with people telling me to go back to Mexico and hating on me for being latino. Wasn't even fucking Mexican. I was Colombian/Cuban and was a 2nd generation U.S. citizen born in the U.S.

Here though turns out I'm a bit of a "mutt" as it were.

While I dont have animal ears on the top of my head, I do have forward pointing horns growing from my top of my temples. Sorta like a certain bull faunus psycho. Unlike him however I have scales lining my body going around my face, along my arms, pecks, chest, back, and legs. No tail though thank the Brothers and Monty. My scales are mostly black with some white scales to dot by body making them look like stars across a night sky. My hair is midnight black and I have natural white highlights and tips. The tips of my horns are also white with what seems to be Celtic tribal lines along them. My facial features still have baby fat to them, but I can already tell I'll look like my handsome( barely above average) self again. I can already see my high cheekbones and square and strong jawline and my lips are still as full as ever, while my eyebrows are still thick like my new hair, which finally stays straight instead of curling on it's own, and my eyes are still thin and sleepy. Sorta giving me that look of aloof apathy that you get from people who just dont give a fuck.

Speaking of those three, THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS GAVE ME SILVER EYES!.

It's like they want to see me die as soon as fucking possible.

Granted, at least even as a child. I'm a little badass. Especially with my reptilian pupils.

Anyway, back to the headmistress. She honestly does care about us and it's rather endearing that the old lady does. She reminds me of my grandmother of my old life with her short stature and loving demeanor. She even has the same graying brunette hair. Granted that's where the comparison ends what with her having cat ears and bright blue eyes.

As I have the humility to at least look a little chagrined, I scratch the side of my face and push up my sunglasses that I have to hide my silver eyes.

I'm dressed in a loose black shirt with an Chibi Ursa eating a jar of honey on the front with red trim looking like Grimm markings, and white faded kids cargo pants(cuz I'm still 4) that can be changed into shorts by some zippers. This clothing just felt right and I'll probably wear similar clothes as I grow.

As I readjust my glasses, the headmistress walks to the door and opens it for the parents to walk in.

I'll skip over all the pleasantries until I finally got to meet my new family.

Gods i really wasng expecting who it was either.

-1 year later-

So, now I'm 5 and I know now for damn sure those three are fucking with me. As if the whole silver eyed bullshit wasn't enough.

I got adopted by Antonius Nikos... the uncle of Pyyrah and now my adoptive father.

Turns out the reason why he turned up that adoption day was because all he wanted was a sibling for his niece/adopted daughter Pyyrah.

Pyyrah's mother died during childbirth and her father died during a Grimm horde. So now her uncle is raising her as her father, and I guess my father now too.

While he is a little distant hes not cold and cruel to me so there's that. He's also started getting trainers and tutors for me and Pyyrah. Turns out Pyyrah has always been incredibly smart and dedicated, even at the age of 5.

I guess she also has a bit of a sibling rivalry with me cuz booksmart wise, I'm literally a lifetime ahead of her. Feels like cheating honestly, but at least she's motivated and even if she wants to beat me at that, she has treated me like family since we both laid eyes on each other in that orphanage.

"Dorian? Hello there, Dorian? Brother? You there?" Pyyrah says to, while poking my cheek, me while I sit there writing a text over scroll to Qrow.

Even as a kid Pyyrah had long hair in a ponytail with her bronze headband, however she isn't wearing her signature armor yet so there's that.

When you have a wealthy Mistrali business man as a father, turns out it's really easy to get a scroll and find someone in the yellow pages. God our first meeting was so high tension.

Flashback time

"So... your the so called reincarnate with prophetic dreams. Dont seem like much to me kid." Qrow, a mid-twenties guy with spiked black hair, red eyes, black pants, grey dress shirt with a crimson tie, tattered grey cloak with crimson lining the inside, and a clockwork greatsword which I also know is a scythe, says to me. While leaning on my balcony railing and having his arms crossed with an unimpressed look upon his face.

"Oh I'm sorry sir, I didnt know that 5 year old was supposed to live up to the grand expectations on an angry drunk." I say leaning against my doorframe with my arms crossed, wearing shorts and a Chibi Beowulf t-shirt as pajamas with my sunglasses hiding my eyes. "I called you here because I have it on good authority, mainly my own, that Ozpin is gonna kill Summer Rose. Ya know, the woman you're hung up on and is the reason you even hang out with Tai and your Nieces. Oh if that's not enough to impress you I should probably mention all I know about the Wizard of Oz and Mami Salami. In case he never told you the whole truth. Which we both know he didnt. Why do you think after he told your sister she ran like the true coward she is? I'll have you know that bitch ki-!"

"You better think of what you're about to say very carefully kid, because I'm about 2 seconds away from gutting you from saying things you shouldn't." Qrow says while holding me up by my throat, as I nod in affirmation and tap his hand. "Ok kid talk, obviously you know stuff out shouldn't if you weren't who you say you are."

"Glad I got your undivided attention there Qrow. I'm gonna finish what I was saying about your sister if you dont mind and then I'm gonna tell you about Ozpin and Salem. That ok?" I ask and he nods. "Ok, your cowardly bitch of a sister is the Spring Maiden, and before you say anything, no it isn't really Vernal who is the maiden. Raven killed the last maiden after the last one wasn't willing to fight on behalf of the Branwen tribe. Everyone also knows that the Maiden powers transfer to the last person who they think of and if that person is a woman below the age of 30, the power goes to her. Your sister is what?28? She fits the criteria and we both know there is no way in hell she'd let that kind of power be wasted on a scared pacifist teenage girl. We both know what type of woman she is. As much as you wish she was better, she took your father's teachings rather well." I say staring at Qrow in the eyes the entire time with utter seriousness and dread on my childish face.

"Fucking hell kid. You really didnt pull any punches there did you?" He says with a grimace and swig from his flask.

"Qrow. Please put away the flask. I need you completely coherent for what I'm trying to tell you. The relationship between Oz and Salem."

"Relationship? What did they sleep together?" He asks and I stay quiet and nod.

"Wait what?" He says as he reaches for his flask but I take it from his hand as he unclips it.

"More specifically Qrow, they're husband and wife. Ozpin as you know, is able to posses young bodies and transfer his soul to them through magic, what he didnt tell you is he got the power from the sacrifice of his firstborn son. Then his second son died in the Old War against Gerhman the first hunter and traitor of humanity and his crew. Salem witnessing it proceeded to throw herself into the pit of Grimm Darkness and instead of dying by suicide, the magic in her body got corrupted and turned her into the immortal unkillable Queen of Grimm. The moment your sister found out Salem cant be killed as long as evil remains in the heart of humanity, she ran for the hills, thinking that avoiding fighting for Oz, will keep her from fighting the war in general. That's why she's a stupid bitch. Doesnt matter if she fights for Oz, she'll still fight the war." I say giving him a moment to breathe and think on what I say. While looking longingly at the flask in my hands I decide to put it in my pocket before I'm tempted.

"Shit... So how's Summer gonna go?" He says with bloodshot eyes.

"Oz'll send her on a suicide mission here in Mistral sometime this year or the next and she'll be ambushed by Tyrian Callows and Hazel Reinhardt. She'll die by Tyrians poison from his scorpion tail and she'll be left to rot in a ditch. Qrow. I know I dont know you guys personally, but I've seen what happens, how dark the world gets with just the death of Summer." Taking off my sunglasses, letting him see my silver eyes, I say, " You cant let that happen Qrow. Her death is the beginning of the end. I sure as shit dont want that to happen. No one who knows what's really going on does. Summer is such a bright light in the world and Ruby becomes just as self sacrificing. I dont want anyone to hurt from this. Especially innocent people." I finish while wiping a tear from my eye.

End flashback

"Yeah sis sorry. Was just thinking about what to write to my friend. Did you finish your homework from the tutors? We dont get to have out Aura unlocked until your done." I say while taking her finger from my face and poking her in the rib, tickling her.

The Unbeaten Champion is incredibly ticklish it seems.

"Staaaaahp. Dorian you know I hate it whe you tickle me. Also yes I finished. Let's go tell Uncle Antonius." She says as I get up and she grabs my hand and drags me alongside her.

Well everyone that's this one. I'm sleepy and feeling drained from work and writing this. I'll see y'all next time, hope you enjoyed and feel free to review.
