Author's note: sorry for how short last chapter was but it was a filler episode and here's another
man these chapters seem to be getting longer and longer.
So I decided to show the different forms of communication I will have.
"Is open talking?"
"Is being talked to telepathically"
'Is thinking in their head'
~Time skip car ride plus flight to vale approximately 3 hours after leaving Abulm's cabin~ Fernus PoV
"Come on Fernus hurry up the airship is about to take off for beacon if we miss it were not getting to beacon on time" Neria says overdramatically since it says there is
another flight taking off for beacon in ten minutes.
"Yea yea I would be able to move faster if I wasn't the one carrying your luggage" he says sighing inwardly.
"But Fernus I'm not strong enough to carry all of that luggage" Felicia says playing on his masculinity.
"Nice try" he says not rising to her bait "I know you are physically fitter than how you're playing yourself to be you can at least carry your weapon and your duffel bag I mean
I have my stuff to carry and it wouldn't do if I dropped your precious sword now would it" he ends in a small sneer.
"You wouldn't dare" Felicia says coldly causing the air around her to become frigid as she glares at me.
"Can you two please stop arguing don't you want to make a good impression on our fellow students and on our teachers" Neria says trying to play mediator to stop them
from arguing.
"Ok I guess I can try and not kill someone" I say noncommittedly while idly rubbing my chin while still carrying the luggage with that being said they boarded the airship.
~time skip halfway to beacon via airship~ same PoV
"On other news there has been a forest fire in a forest a little while away from Atlas chasing away Grimm and destroying what looks like a cabin so far we have found
evidence of a body among the ruin it looks like they were tortured before the fire overtook this place and charred the body." Says the news reporter on the screen before he
pauses and puts a finger to his ear listening to a voice no one else can hear "we have just received word on who this person was it seems it was the co-owner of the marigold
tech industry and owner of the blackheart weapons business none other than Abulm Blackheart" he continues by revealing a picture of Abulm in his 20s "and it looks like he
left these weird bags that none of us seem to get open they seem to be locked by some kind of electric dust. Well that is all for now back to you Lisa after this break." He
finishes before it breaks into commercials.
"Neria are you ok" I say glancing at the girl beside him who is paler than she normally is.
"I-I can't believe he's dead were never going to see him again" Neria says looking out the window before I or Felicia can reply to what she said there is someone speaking
loudly not too far from them.
"Oh I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me" says the loud girl which Fernus notices has blond hair hugging a girl with black hair and what looks like red
highlights "This is the best day ever" she finishes exuberantly.
"Please stop" the black haired girl replies while being smothered by who is her sister.
'Hmm that girl with the black hair she's wearing red my favorite color I wonder if me and her could become friends' Fernus thinks to himself while listening in to their
conversation.
"But I'm so proud of you" the blond says releasing her sister from the hug.
"Really sis it was nothing" the black haired girl said humbly.
"What do you mean? It was incredible" the yellow haired girl says happily "everyone at Beacon is going to think you're the bee's knees."
"I don't want to be the bee's knees! I don't wanna be any kind of knees!" the black haired girl in red says "I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees."
"What's with you? Aren't you excited?" blondie says a little confused.
'Even I can see she is shy about this' Fernus thinks to himself while blondie finishes speaking.
"Of course I'm excited it's just I got moved ahead two years. I just don't want people to think I'm special or anything." She says the last part sadly.
'Poor thing' He thinks before he sees the blonde wrap her arm around the girl and says "but you are special."
"…The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities." Says the reporter on the airship's screen.
'Oh when did the news come back on' Fernus thinks to himself a little surprised.
"If you have any information on his whereabouts please contact the vale police department. Back to you Lisa." He finishes while Fernus is stunned at the lack of sound due to
the blonde being quiet.
"Thank you, Cyril" The purple haired lady says on the screen "In other news, This Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights protest turned dark when members of the white fang
disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now...disrupted." before it turns off to be replaced by a woman with blonde hair in a white shirt and black skirt.
"Hello and welcome to Beacon" the woman on the screen says before the blonde asks questioningly "who's that?"
"My name is Glynda Goodwitch" with that said the blonde replies with a light "oh" before Glynda continues speaking "You are among a privileged few who have received the
honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future huntsman and huntresses, it is your duty to
uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world."
'Wow that was a very inspiring speech I guess it's good that he sent us here instead of that academy in Atlas I think this year is going to be fun' Fernus thinks to himself as
Glynda fazes out. He turns around to see that Neria and Felicia disappeared on him leaving him by himself "why do I even bother" he mutters to himself before seeing a
blonde boy staggering and hearing the Blonde say "I guess the view isn't for everyone I wonder who we are going to meet."
With that the black haired girl reply's "let's hope they are better than vomit boy. Oh gross, you have puke on your shoe!"
'They seem like two lively individuals I guess I should say hi after we land otherwise I might end up like vomit boy over there' Fernus thinks to himself while idly holding his
stomach before he feels the ship start to descend 'oh this is my least favorite part about airships.'
As they land he sees vomit boy run outside and pukes in the trashcan as he steps out making sure to edge around where vomit boy is as he steps off the airship glad his
stomach is settling after he got off the airship then he hears two "wows" coming from those two girls from the airship 'guess they haven't seen buildings like this before.'
"The view from vale's got nothing on this!" the blonde exaggerates 'I kind of liked those views from vale when I do have the time to admire the views' He thinks to himself
mentally pouting before he hears the black haired girl speak excitedly.
"Ooh! Ooh! Sis! That kid has a collapsible staff! And she's got a fire sword! 'wait was that Felicia how did she get my sword!' he thinks before he looks again to see that
person doesn't look like Felicia and the fire sword is not his sword but looks like it's a short sword with a fire dust crystal embedded in its hilt. He looks back to see the Black
haired girl looking around confused spinning around "where are our dorms? …Do we have dorms?" before she falls into luggage 'oh crap is that Weiss better skedaddle' He
thinks before running off to look for Neria or Felicia as he hears the girl Weiss start yelling at the black haired girl.
~Timeskip to ceremony~ Felicia's PoV
'Oh look, there's Fernus I'm glad I took Neria away while he was distracted ogling that blonde haired girl' thinks the girl in her white shorts marked with blue. "Hey Neria
looks like Fernus found his way here want me to signal him."
"H-huh yes sure" Neria says barely paying attention to what is going on around her while Felicia raises her hand to signal Fernus to come over making sure that they are far
enough away from the Blonde that distracted Fernus completely so she can get some answers out of him and what he was doing for the past ten minutes after they got off of
the airship.
'What is so special about that blond girl that he can't even pay attention to me, or to cheer up Neria the jerk!' She thinks as Fernus semi jogs over and as soon as he arrives
he says "hey you won't guess who I ran into."
"Oh and who did you run into other than blondie over there." she says somewhat angrily.
"What does it matter about her and no I haven't even spoken to her or her sister although her sister did bump into someone we knew." He says calmly while saying the last
part in a mysterious manner.
"Well are you going to tell me or not" she says getting ticked off at Fernus for trying to be mysterious about it "or am I going to have to punch you!"
"I-"he starts to say before he is cut off by Ozpin tapping the microphone "I'll…keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge-to hone your craft and
acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need
of purpose-direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry yourself so far. It is up to you to take
the first step."
Before I can work up myself to question him to tell me who this mystery person is I notice a blond women in a skirt and white shirt take the headmaster's place at the
microphone and begin talking "You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Dinner shall be served in the cafeteria. Tomorrow, your initiation begins. You are dismissed." As she
says this Neria and I get separated as Fernus gets pulled along by the sea of students and yelling "I'll tell you later."
"Great and just as he was going to tell us to oh wait Neria got dragged along to didn't she" I begin to say before I realize that Neria is missing as well.
~several minutes later at cafeteria~ Neria's PoV
'How could he leave me like that, he was supposed to be invincible how could he die especially in that way. Why? Why? Oh sister how I wish you were still alive I need
someone to talk to someone who can comfort me.' I torture myself with as I stare blankly at my sparse dinner in front of me while Felicia tries to get me to talk or make me
wonder about whom this mystery person is that Fernus keeps referring to. "Hey Felicia I'm going to go down to vale and look around for a little I'll be back before curfew." I
say before heading out.
"Oh ok see you around Neria" Felicia says slightly stunned at my outburst but I don't notice it because I just want to be alone.
I begin walking out the door to see if the bullheads are still going to vale which I check with my scroll to see that they stop around eight pm and it's five forty pm right now
so that gives me two hours to explore and fifteen minutes to get a ride back to beacon. As I figure my course of action I begin heading towards the nearest bullhead to take
me into vale. As I near the bullhead I see a girl in a bow and black hair sitting in a tree reading a book so I decide to see what she is up to "you know it's easy to fall
especially if you're putting your weight on a single branch" I say causing the girl to startle and make the branches tremble
"Don't you know it's not a good idea to sneak up on people" the girl almost hisses out at me.
"Ehehehh sorry just wanted to warn my name is Neria, Neria Marigold it's nice to meet you." I say as politely as I can manage without breaking down.
"Blake Belladonna" the girl says simply before going back to reading.
"Well I'll see you around then" I say before walking towards the bullhead that was taking people to vale.
~bullhead landing in vale~ Same PoV
'Man my back is stiff from that ride' I think as I leisurely stretch my back before setting off in a random direction exploring aimlessly to get a feel for how people are treated
here.
As I am traveling I notice a dust shop across the street 'Oh I could get some dust from here see how much dust sells here then compare it to how it sells in Atlas.' As I walk
in I see they had tubes for sending out dust in well its dust form and he had crystals in cut and uncut forms I couldn't help but smile at the variety I can choose from.
"Um mam are you going to buy something or just stand their gawking at my wares" the clerk says from behind the counter causing me to stir from my revelry.
"oh uh yea sorry I would like a burn cut and frost uncut and I think I'll get a tube of some wind dust in dust form if you don't mind" I say to assuage him so he knows I am a
paying customer and not some kind of thief or robber.
"Ok that will be one hundred and fifty lien do you want me to put it in dust storage container or do you want it as is." He says while putting the dust crystals on the counter
as well as a tube.
"I'll take it as is I already have my own storage container" I say as kindly as possible while giving him the money and putting the tube and crystals in my pouch and I turn
towards the door. As I exit the shop I take a look at my watch to see it is around six twenty now which leaves me with an hour or so to explore 'I wonder if there is anything
else worthwhile to look for maybe a book store would be cool' I begin looking around to see which way looks promising in hopes of me finding a bookstore. As I walk down
the street I feel a hand clasp over my mouth and a knife touch my back before a gruff voice speaks.
"Hand over all your lien and dust and no one gets hurt" The man behind me says while pushing a little harder on his knife.
A new voice speaks up "please excuse my partner he enjoys it when people go about the hard way so he can have a reason to stab people" the voice says before coming into
my vision. He's dressed in black with red sunglasses on with a red cleaver at his side "if you don't want to die you'll do as he says."
I move around so my mouth isn't clamped on and reply coldly "you are making a mistake and should leave otherwise you will be the one to end up stabbed."
He reply's sardonically "oh but you seem to have forgotten your weapon so no I don't think we will be stabbed but for that remark I think I can maybe cut your face up a
little" when he finishes saying that he draws his cleaver and puts it against my cheek.
"You know it isn't nice to pick on defenseless girls" a gruff voice speaks up to the right of me before I feel the man holding the knife crash a few feet away from me.
"Ughh" is all I hear before I hear him shifting "is that all you got tough guy" before he pauses to cough what is presumably blood "let's see if you are good considering you
had to go for a surprise attack."
"Like how you surprised a lone girl just to rob her. Your no better than trash" He says before I hear a scratching sound as something large is shifted so I turn around to see a
boy around my age carrying a claymore and I notice he has light brown hair and eyes that you could get lost in such a deep and rich brown 'oh god what am I thinking' I
snap myself out of staring at his physique before noticing how he's carrying himself.
"You'll pay for that" the guy with the cleaver says before swinging it at the boy in which it is blocked and pushed aside before a faint clicking is heard as the boy's
claymore hurtles at the man in glasses revealing his sword to be a bastard sword infused with lightning dust. The man in glasses has no time to bring his guard up before the
big blade flying at him hits him and successfully pinning him to the ground as a faint cracking sound is heard from his chest "ah my rib!"
"You should deserve worse" As he says this he turns to the guy with the knife and vanishes before appearing beside him swinging his sword in a downward spiral slicing
through the knife guy's chest knocking him down "it would be wise if you don't get up" he says to the two men before turning to me "Miss Marigold are you alright?"
"Um y-yes. Wait how do you know my name?!" I say shyly before realizing he knew my last name "And just who are you anyways introduce yourself!"
"Ah yes my apologies Miss Marigold my name is Darrien Alvar and I am to be the fourth member in your team as requested by Mr. Blackheart and my brother Zack." He says
humbly before finishing with pride after saying his brother's name.
"Ahh um yes I guess it must be within your mission parameters to keep me safe is it safe to assume" I say to inquire more about him and how he came to get here.
"yes it is within my parameters to ensure your safety as I was programmed by your sister to do as such when you enter into Beacon otherwise I don't have any other
memory as I have only been activated a week ago to ensure my mission is successful. I am to pose as a student and the fourth member to your team to ensure you go
through all four years required for you to be a huntress. I am also your partner for this time until you graduate then I will be under your orders once you finish your time at
Beacon like Zack was to your sister." He finishes his monologue and answering my questions as fully and possibly adding more than I had requested.
"Ok well then I want you to get the cops to take these two to jail and then me and you can head back to Beacon" I say before walking the way towards the airship. As I begin
walking I hear a clicking sound looking back to see his sword was back to being a Claymore and the man in shades out cold before he begins to follow me "I'm guessing that
it must be a scabbard and the blade underneath is the real weapon?"
"Yes it looks like a claymore and is dulled so it works like a scabbard mostly used for crushing and the blade hidden within is the true weapon." He reply's simply before
clamming up.
~timeskip At Beacon~ Fernus
"She was acting weird you know I mean I have never seen Neria act that way her are you listening to me Fernus are you ignoring me" a girl says to my left.
"Huh oh sorry Felicia I got lost in thought" I say noticing how she is grimacing at me "you should smile a little more."
"Hah yea right oh look here comes another airship let's hope this one she is on." Felicia says pointing at the airship pulling in to dock. As the airship lands the doors begin
opening when they finally open we see a familiar blonde coming out of the airship with someone following closely behind her.
"Looks like Neria has a friend" I say nodding to the person behind Neria. As I watch the two I notice that Neria is talking to the person behind her as she draws within my h
earing range I hear her say something.
"This is Beacon and those two over there are our teammates I hope you get along with them alright Darrien." I hear her say to the boy presumably Darrien behind her.
I begin walking towards Neria and the boy Darrien with Felicia following behind me "welcome back how was your exploration of vale" I say giving no indication that I knew
who the boy behind her was.
"It was ok I suppose some people tried to rob me though and Darrien here stepped in and took care of them" Neria says softly.
"It was part of my job description and you two must be Fernus and Felicia" the brown hair boy says giving us the once over before scanning the area surrounding us.
"I guess we should head over to the ballroom and find a nice place to sleep in" I say to distract everyone and also because the sooner they go to sleep the sooner I can be
alone.
"Sure but first who is this mystery person you keep alluding to" Felicia says pointing her finger angrily at me.
"Oh right I guess I could tell you the girl I ran into it none other than Weiss Schnee now if you don't mind I would like to go sleep." I reply to her question before bringing
things back to my original proclamation. When I finish speaking I begin heading towards the ballroom with the others following close behind.
Author's note: whoo that was a long one I hope you guys enjoyed and if you want me to continue this perspective or to go back into my normal 3rd person perspective then a
review or pm would be nice now on to the omake.
Omake: 'Revealing close ties'
I begin walking towards the sound that began around midnight "who could be playing at this time of night" I mumble to myself as I draw closer to the music I begin to hear a
person singing.
Long ago, before we met,
I dreamed about you.
The peace you'd bring.
The songs we'd sing.
The way you'd make things new.
The way it was being sung arrested my attention so I stopped outside the door and began to listen.
Then one day, you arrived.
I heard your angel cry.
Helpless, small, and perfect, Welcome to your life.
As the voice sung this I spoke up "you know it's the middle of the night could you try to keep it down. Upon hearing me I heard a frantic scramble so I pushed the door open
a little to see a boy with red hair with his shirt halfway on and I noticed the scales on his back.
"You weren't supposed to see that Weiss" the boy says frantically as he pulls his shirt all the way on and him blushing slightly "my scales just needed to breathe a little."
"How do you know my name and why do you sound so familiar" I say as petulantly as possible to hide this tugging feeling inside my chest.
"My name is Fernus and we have known each other for a while now." He replies calming down.
"Aren't you the boy who came to that meeting once with the Marigold girl?" I reply beginning to recognize him.
"Erm yea it was only one meeting though and me and her had to stay out of the meeting and be with you while they were talking business." He says calmly looking at me
curiously "and I see you're still as flat as a board."
Upon hearing this I slapped him "well I'm sorry I haven't grown" I practically yell at him.
"I was only joking sheesh I see you still can't take a joke Weiss" He says laughing to himself.
"Well your jokes are as poor as they were seven years ago." I say blandly teasing him slightly.
"And I see your still the same ice queen as you were" he reply's slightly.
As he says this I laugh to myself "It's good to see you again I missed this easygoing feeling" I say still laughing to myself. So we began talking about what we have been up
to for a few hours before I headed out to try ad get some more rest for initiation.
