She was running up the side of the tower "I can do this" Ruby thought to herself. She finally got up there only to see a close friend of hers get shot with an arrow. Ruby was shocked, but she was about to go in and try to save phyrah when Cinder put her hand Phyras head and her friend disintegrated, blowing away in the wind. Ruby was so shocked and so in despair that she felt something click, something deep in her soul. Then everything turned white.

"Ruby, wake up,hunny." Ruby's head was hurting but she managed to open her eyes. At first all she notices was the completely white background with nothing else. Then she noticed that before her stood a woman that looked so identical to her,yet still different with a white cloak instead of her iconic red one. "Mom?" Ruby asked. The woman looked at her lovingly. "Its me, Ruby." said the woman. Ruby ran into her arms and was held there for a while till they pulled apart.

"Where am I, am I dead?" Ruby asked, truly scared that she might be. "No, you have just activated your silver eyes. Every time you use them you get to talk to me." Summer explained.

"Activated my silver eyes? What are you talking about, mom?" For a second the woman looked sad, then wiped the expression off her face and said, "Ruby, there is a secret your family and I have been keeping from you for your own safety. I hoped this day would never come, but it has."

Ruby was confused, but she let her mom continue speaking. "To be perfectly honest, most of the Rose women are cursed with silver eyes. It all goes back a long time ago when one of the original Rose women fell in love, with the wrong guy if you ask me, he could not even protect her and she died from a grimm attack. Her husband was the real problem, he could not let her go. When an old friend of his came to console him the grief stricken man convinced his long time friend to bring her back-" She was cut short by Ruby asking. "How could he bring her back, there is no way to bring someone back from the dead."

Summer responded with, "I will get there, I promise. Now, his friend could not bring her back from the dead. He could, however, make her sort of like the late woman's husband. You see this man was no ordinary man, he was cursed by the gods to reincarnate. His friend explained that he was going to make the Rose like him yet not.

She too would reincarnate. He was going to make the late rose, like him, yet not like him. She would reincarnate. Her aura, semblance, features, even character would remain the same, but she would lose her memories every time she died. She was given the curse of the silver eyes so that he would know who she was.

Also, important detail, that man was a previous reincarnation of Ozpin, the headmaster, it is why he let you in early. While she was listening to her mom tell her this she saw that her mom really did not like Ozpin. She wondered why. "Mom, what do you have against them? It just seems to me that he was deeply in love and did not want to lose it."

Summer looked at her daughter, "He is the reason I died, I guess I am just bitter against someone that took me away from my daughter." Ruby had another question, "Mom, were you and Prof. Ozpin ever…..?" Summer looked appalled, "Of course not. Me and your father loved each other very much."

"I am going to get back on topic. Ruby, I do not trust Ozpin to teach you about this so I will. To use your silver eyes, and see me again, you just need to think about something that causes alought of emotion. When you get here again we can talk some more and I can train you."

Ruby did not want to leave but she could hear her uncle saying, "I got you, kiddo." Her mom looked at her with a sad smile. "It is time for you to go. You can come back, but do not tell anyone about this, alright?" Ruby was confused. "Why?" "I will answer all your questions next time. You are going to wake up soon." Summer came towards Ruby and gave her a big hug. "I am sorry that you have to take on this fight, but I know you can do it."

She then heard her father's voice talking to her uncle. "Even Uncle Qrow?" Ruby asked. "Even him." Summer said. Then everything turned black.
