There's a really important reason of why I decided to write about the kids days at Beacon this early but I'll say it at the end, for now, just enjoy.
"I wanna go home!"
Silver Rose-Schnee, 15 years-old, was hitting the glass of the ship that was taking her, her big sister, her cousins and her two best friends to Beacon. She did not know why she, Summer and Jenny had been able to get in the school early. She was fifteen, Summer and Jenny were sisxteen while Raven, Mia and Noren were the only ones who currently had seventeen, the age in which they can get into Beacon after taking the entrance exam. Though, Silver had the feeling that her Grunkle have something to do with it. At first she was excited but now she was scared, she was getting into Beacon two years early and that was enough to become the center of attention once the classes begin and that was definitely the last thing that she wanted.
"Come on Silver" Mia said while putting her hands on her cousin's shoulders "Take it easy"
"It's a little late for you to freak out now, you knew that once you boarded this ship there was no turning back" Noren said "Also, you were super happy to know that the six of us will remain together. What happened to that?"
"I'm still happy for that!" she exclaimed "B-but I'm too young, I don't want to be the center of attention because of that and I got moved ahead TWO years!"
"And!?" Mia and Noren said.
Silver had always be a shy girl and the idea of drawing attention scared her immensely but, to be fair, Summer and Jenny were also moved ahead one year. Raven laughing at what she was seeing, she was not laughing her her cousin, the situation was kind of funny, Silver had not thought about how she got moved ahead until they were only minutes away from Beacon, poor Silver she was so excited until reality hit her.
Summer could not help herself but worry about her younger sister, she would have a hard time finding a partner AND being part of a team with people tat she did not know. Summer would like to be her sister's partner or at least be in the same team but she did not know how to do that, they would need a lot of lucky to be on the same team.
Jenny…was sitting on a corner trying not to throw up.
Jenny have motion sickness, the poor girl always felt dizzy and nauseous whenever she is on a ship, boat or train, cars are okay, and to make things worst she had forgotten her medicine at home.
"Hey, Jen! Do you need a bucket or do I tell everyone to stay away from you in cause you really throw up?"
"Shut up Nen!"
Having Noren asking her those kind of things definitely was not helping.
Now Silver was trying to think on a method in which she could end as her sister or cousins' partner, or at least be in the same team. Summer told her not to have high expectations and that knowing new people would help her with her shyness. Raven, Mia and Noren were talking about all the things that they would do in the next four years of school and poor Jenny was still fighthing against the nauseas.
After a couple of minutes, their destination was on sight.
"Hey, guys!" Raven said "I can see the school, hurry up and take a look"
"Wanna come, Jenny?"
"For the last time. Nen, shut u…" Jenny was not able to complete that sentence, the nauseas were getting stronger "…forget it"
Leaving Jenny aside, the rest of the group decided to look at the academy. Most of the future students on that ship knew that Beacon had suffered a horrible attack several years ago, incident knwon as "The fall of Beacon" but now, it was hard to believe that that had happened. The place looked amazing, there were several buildings surrounding the high tower standing in the middle of everything, the tower of Beacon.
There were ships landing on the floor, filled with students from differents places of Remmant, they could also see some students walking around, older students. For the next four years that place would be their home. They would live, sleep, eat and train in that place for four years and once those years were over, all of them would be huntsmen and huntresses. Summer turned to see Silver, she looked happy and excited, people can believe that she was amazed by the academy but Silver can only put that kind of face with one thing in specific.
"Look at all those weapons!"
Silver was just like her mother, Ruby. A totally weapon maniac.
.

"Talk with people is hard" Silver thought.
She was walking around the school, totally alone. When they landed, Summer and Raven took Jenny to the infarmary, they had leave the ship but for some reason she was still feeling dizzy. Mia and Noren did not waste time, they started talking with every single student that they saw and were ignoring Silver but that was for her own good, she needed to talk with new people. Silver had begun to look at the weapons and most of them looked amazing, she really wanted to talk with its owners but lacked to courage to do it. To clear her mind she decided to walk around the school and that is how we end up in the current situation.
Her mothers had told her a lot of stories of their school days, there were some minor differences but the place had hardly changed, so, it was easy for Silver to make her way around Beacon without a problem. Silver thought that she should go back because the "Welcome speech" could start at any time, especially because she did not even know what time it was, but something stopped her. Silver saw a boy with black hair looking around the place and scratching his head.
It seemed like he was lost. Silver did not like the idea of asking because her assumption could be wrong but if he needed help she would not deny it. Silver took a depth breath, she could feel her heart beating hard against her chest and her hands were shaking. Sometimes being shy was hard for her but there she goes.
"Um…excuse me. Are you lost?"
The boy quickly turned to see Silver and she noticed that he have green eyes. His cheeks turned a little red and a nervous laugh came out of his mouth. He was really embarrassed because after all he was a seventeen years old that got lost in his own school.
"Yeah, I was looking around and…well, I ended up here without knowing how to get to the main building"
"I know how to get there, I can show you the way"
"Yes, please"
The two began to walk without saying a word, Silver was happy with her ownself because she had finally been able to talk with someone new without a single problem. The boy quickly decided to start a conversation with something that more than one student will ask Silver in the future.
"Pardon me if this sound rude but aren't you too young to be here"
Unlike Summer and Jenny, Silver looks way too young for her age, her height was below average and she have a very childish face. There was one time in which someone thought that she was twelve instead of fifteen.
"Well, somehow, my sister, a friend of mine and I were able to get into the academy early. I kind of have an idea of how that happened but I need to verify it…and I'm no that young! I'm fifteen, I swear!"
"Don't worry I believe you" he said "You certainly look younger, I think it's because of your height"
"Yeah, my mommy was kind of below average height when she had my age too but I'm sure that I'll grow up just like she did" after a second look at the boy Silver noticed that he was not carrying any kind of weapon which was a bit strange "Hey, What kind of weapon do you have?"
The boy smiled and he showed Silver the pair of black gloves with metallic fingertips that he was using, both gloves had a metalic circle on the back of the hand and those circles were filled with threads. Five threads came out of each circule and passed troward the metallic fingertips, he began to look around and saw a tree, then he decided to aim the threads of his left hand to one of the branches. The branch was held by the threads. He pulled the branch breaking it in the process and with the threads on his right hard he leave the branch without leafs, the threads returned to the interior of the circles and he grabbed the branch with his hands.
"My weapon name is Fir Alb, the threads are made with dust making them hard to break and thanks to that I can combine my semblance with them. I'm basically a long distance figther and since threads aren't a common weapon the Grimm wouldn't ever know how to stop me" he noticed how Silver looked a little down after he ended the introduction of his weapon "You didn't like it, eh?"
"It's no like I didn't like it, honestly, I was expecting something a little more cool. Let me show you my weapon"
Silver grabbed the sword on her back, the blade had a combination of the colors red and white while the handle was totally silver. That was Silver's Petal Dance. The boy was going to say that the sword was cool but before he could say the word "sword", Petal Dance turned into a scythe.
"Cool, right?" Silver said "A sword that can turn into a scythe. I really love my Petal Dance!"
"It's definitely cool you…ehm…sorry where are my manners" he said realizing the they did not know each other names "My name is Ulysses Eter, my siblings and friends usually call my Uly or Ulyss, nice to met you"
"I'm Silver Rose-Schnee. Just call me Silver, nice to met you too"
Something in Ulysses's face changed after that, his mouth was wide open and his body was shaking. Even if he knew that it sounded dumb he asked Silver if she was related to Ruby Rose or Weiss Schnee. When Silver said that they were her mothers Ulysses was unable to control himself, with his two hands he grabbed Silver's right hand, he was giving her a very strong handshake and Silver did not have a single clue of what was going on.
"I should have figured it out sooner! You look exactly like Miss Weiss! I'm from Atlas, teams RWBY and JNPR are the main reason of why I decided to study here on Beacon, it's a great honor to meet you!" Ulysses released Silver's hand "I'm mean, I knew that they had children, and some of them are my age, but I never imagine to run into one of them today, I´m super lucky"
Silver knows that her mothers and aunts were popular around Vale's hunters and aspirants to hunters and there was not a single student on Beacon that had not heard about teams RWBY and JNPR. They had the reputation of being two of the more strongest teams of Vale. Silver had not thought about her parents' fame, she would be the center of attention no because she was young but because she was the daugther of Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee but as long as she could be with her sister, cousins and friends she would not complain about it. Also, it was nice to know that her parents are admired in the school. Ulysses had began to talk about how his father that been the one who taught him about team RWBY and JNPR.
Ulysses's father was an Atlas student and he was in his fourth and last year of school when he first saw RWBY and JNPR in the Vytal Tournament, the two tournaments actually, the one prior the fall of Beacon and the one that was held after Beacon was reconstructed. Ulysses's father just participated in the first one since he had already graduated during the second one. Like most of the hunters who had seen those tournaments he respected the kids abilities and admitted that they had a lot of potential.
"That's explain why the headmaster leave you study here early, your mothers should have taught you a lot of things. You must be a true prodigy!"
"H-he thinks that highly of me!?" Silver thought "W-we should get going, the welcoming speech could start at any moment"
"Sure, I follow you"
Since I needed two teams of four, two OCs were created. Ulysses was the first while the second will appear in the next chapter and yeah, those two are the reason of why the "Beacon saga", I'm still thinking about the name, started so soon.
I want to introduce the OCs in order to write some chapters dedicated to them because I don't want people to think that they are just filler characters.
A little piece of interesing information, I wanted to give Ulysses a weapon that we haven't seen before and that's we I decided to give him those strings, that according to the internet are called Razor Floss. While writting Ulysses's fighting style was difficult, and will get harder to write thanks to the amout the detail that I need to put, I actually enjoying to write it, its difficult but at the same time original and kind of refreshing to do something like this.
Anyway, I have Jenny, Noren, Ulysses and the other OC's character profile ready but I'll publish them after the next chapter, please be patient. I hope everyone had enjoyed it, leave a review, fav or follow and see you next time.
