"Goodnight Ruby, you have no idea how happy i am that both my girls are safe at home." Ruby's' dad said while pushing the covers up on Ruby. "Love you too, dad" Ruby said while closing her eyes. Taiyang shut the lights off then closed the door. Ruby waited until she heard her father's door open then close until she silently moved to the door and peeked out.
There was nothing in her way that Ruby could see in the dark so she quietly opened her bedroom door then tiptoed her way to, then out the front door. Once she was safely outside she ran a good distance into the forest. After a while she stopped then sat down on the ground thinking over how to use her silver eyes again when a voice startled her.
"You are trying to do it again aren't you?" An unfamiliar voice said to her. Ruby looked behind her and there stood a woman who looked very similar to Yang. "Raven?" Ruby asked surprised,"Why are you here?" The woman looked at her with an unreadable expression. "Lets just say i was curious." Raven said. "I am also here because I believe it is time for me to give you a message your mother wanted me to give you. Before she died she told me that if you ever activated your silver eyes that you should talk to her again, she did not know if she would have enough time to tell you how so she told me. Pain. You need to feel pain. Once you do that they will activate again."
After Raven said this she started to walk away. "Wait!" Ruby exclaimed. "Why are you here to tell me this when you could be in there with your own daughter?" When Ruby was done the woman looked back at her and said,"I owed her, now I do not. Don't expect me to let you live after an exclamation like that again." After she finished she ran off too quickly to ask anything else.
Ruby, newly determined, thought about what could cause her pain so she thought back to what she saw that day on the tower, but it did not work. She kept on that train of thought though onto her teammates, how they were affected, specifically John. She remembered his voice when he was telling her and Wise to go save Phyra and it broke her heart. Then a white light appeared and she went out.
"You did it, I knew you could." Ruby herd her mother say then felt herself being hugged tightly, when she opened her eyes she saw her mother with a smile on her face. After a few seconds she backed away. After a second Summers face changed completely. "I need you to do something. You might not like to do it but it is necessary. You have to leave home. There is a village in mistral, that you need to go to." Ruby was confused."Why?" She asked. "It is a village filled with people who are of the silver eyed lineage. You see there were silver eyed warriors before our ancestor got the curse, they are rare now but they still exist living in tiny villeges all across the world.. A tiny hidden village in mistral is one of these towns. You need to find it and go there. I will help you. The gods have let me be able to speak to you even when you are not using your silver eyes so that I can guide you to this village."
Ruby was stunned, she did not want to leave her home, but she also was curious about this village filled with people like her. "Why this exact village, are there none in Vale?" Summer smiled at her, "This one is important, it is the village I grew up in." "Does that mean that I have family there? Wait, if you grew up there why did you leave?" Ruby asked. "I wanted to explore the world and become a better huntress so i left, joined beacon. Then I met your father and had you and the village does not allow outsiders so I could not go back unless i left your father and I loved him too much to leave."
Ruby thought about this and came up with an idea. "The rest of team JNPR has invited me to go with them to Haven in Mistral. It is unsafe to go alone so I can go with them. Do not worry, I will say that I am going to Mistral and just give an excuse when I get to an aria where I have to branch off."
Summer looked questioning of the idea, but she did not like the thought of Ruby going on her own for so long so she agreed. "I think you should go now you have a long journey ahead of you." Summer said, gave Ruby a hug, then seemed to have thought of something. "Oh, and remember you don't need to use your silver eyes around them, I can just talk to you in your head."
Before Ruby could ask anything more about this she was thrust back into herself. She was laying on the ground. She quickly got up then ran back to the house, planning how she would say goodbye to her father and also her sister.
