Surprise author's note! I decided to do this thanks to my first fav. Thank you, I am not worthy!

On a different note, just so everyone (at least those who are the readers) knows, this fanfic is planned for 20 chapters, but we all should know what happens with plans. Still, I will be trying for those 17 chapters.

And if any one of you had read my previous fanfic, sorry about that! I won't go into the details but it was scrapped of due to the adventure I had looking for a certain flash drive, only to find it under my shoe. (TAT I had it for almost ten years, so yeah)

Yang: I guess you could say it went out with a Yang!

Not really, since you would've gotten back up and kicked my ass afterwards

Yang: True. You are a wimp.

Shush now, go back to your side of the wall and go bother Weiss.

Weiss: Hey!

My god, they're multiplying. *looks at a certain wall* ...Is that a hole in the wall?

Yang: *whistles nonchalantly*

Well, it looks like they're joining me in the author's note after all. *sighs* But you guys are gonna keep those Grimm away, got it?

Yang: Got it!

Weiss: Hmph, like they would get past me.

Blake: *reading my fav fanfics*

Ruby: This is gonna be the best author's note EVER!

...My god. When did they get here? Well, that's it for now.

Oh, and before I forget, here's your chapter. Review and fav, readers!

Blake: *blushes at my reading history*

Hey, that is kinda private! No don't judge me TAT...

~DarkJester420 Team RWBY was here

Somewhere deep within one of Mistral's cave, 3 days after Port's meeting with Malthazar

Glynda Goodwitch liked to think she was tolerant (yeah right), but this was beyond even her.

She came here after reports of 'a strange man' had been seen entering this cave. Ozpin, fearing the worst, sent in Glynda as a backup Huntress, meant to guard the town. The Mistralian School, nicknamed by the locals, 'The school of champions', were to send their own hunter team to investigate.

But 'were' was the key word, as they had their own problems, as they just had a tournament. Of course, they sent word to Ozpin word of it, telling them all their hunter and huntresses were injured.

'Something about a passing by mercenary joining in and beating the champion, Mr. Something or another... dammit, I'll remember his name some other time. Now, I have to explore a cave while protecting the town.'

That was another thing. The town had not suffered any Grimm attacks of any kind for as long as it had existed.

Surprisingly, they didn't thank the school for the protection. They talked about a legend, of how a maiden from a faraway land had healed a Dragon, and as thanks the Dragon blessed the maiden, and gave her a wish. She used her wish to make a safe haven for all people, faunus and humans alike. The Dragon, touched by her selflessness, sealed himself deep within the earth, and his words shook the whole town. No one understood the words, but it is said his very being drives the Grimm away.

While this seemed impossible, Glynda couldn't argue the fact that while Grimm were still in Mistral, they were nowhere near the town. In honor of the maiden, named 'Dragon Friend', her statue, standing with her hand stuck out, was made. And it still stood, solid and strong, untouched by time.

After hearing the legend, Ozpin had called, and told her to explore the cave herself.

Hence, why she was in the damn cave, walking down it's damn path, trying to find the damn stranger.

As she had been for the last hour. Damn.

Soon, after the sun's light could no longer reach within the cave, she had begun using her own spell to light the way. After walking for a few minutes, she stopped, and looked around. The cave walls, plain as rock, when she had entered were now glowing from her light. Curious, she walked towards a cave wall, and saw why.

The walls had crystals embedded in the wall. And yet, there was something weird. There were crystals on this wall, glowing bright. But the other wall had stopped. She walked back towards the center o the cave path, and then started glowing again.

'The crystals react to magic? A curious discovery.' She thought to herself.

Then the cave was filled with gusts of wind. Glynda stood still, assessing the situation. The winds calmed down, but still they blew.

'Well, this is interesting. Wind usually doesn't blow in caves as deep as deep as this one.'

Then they blew back out, surprising Glynda. 'Wind doesn't usually come back either. Unless there is exit on the other side, and the townspeople said there wasn't a cave like that here. Strange, its like it's...'

She didn't continue the thought, and continued to walk. After all...

Caves don't breathe.

End of the cave, half an hour later

Glynda stood in awe, as at the end of the cave, there was a huge room. Crystals covered the wall, and a strange rock formation stood in the center of the room. It was human sized, shaped almost like a human. It had two legs, both folded in a meditative position. It's two arms were stretched out at opposite sides, as if it was keeping something away. It's head, bowed down, as if strained, had moss on it, and it looked like someone ruffled it.

She walked towards the human-like rock, and when she got halfway there, she saw it's mouth was curled into a smile.

She stopped next to the rock, and wondered how such a rock was formed. It was then that a strange cloaked figure appeared in the cave entrance. She turned, ready to fight, but the figure ignored her, and floated towards the rock.

'Wait, floating?' Glynda thought to herself. She shook her head and spoke.

"Are you the strange man?"

The figure turned towards her, and floated over to her. Then, in a female voice, spoke.

"How rude, what part of me looks like a man?"

She then threw her cloak aside, revealing a young woman. She wore shrine clothing, famous in Mistral, and yet it was different. Her pants were a shade of royal purple, her shirt matching it. Her long black hair went down past he hips, and she had a bright gold belt that was loosely secured on her waist.

"Ah, but it is good to be out of that cloak, it was stifling under it~?"

Glynda brought her light spell closer to the young woman, and saw something she didn't expect to see.

It shone through her.

"Ah, so you found out. Oh well~? Yes, I am a ghost. I am Kate, and the rock over there is my love~?"

"Isn't he handsome~?" the ghost asked.

Glynda was too shocked to answer. The ghost, Kate, misunderstood her silence.

"Hey, don't make googly eyes at my brave dragon!"

Glynda shook her head, and cleared her throat. "I wasn't. I was simply in awe. It certainly isn't a normal day when a ghost comes along."

Kate floated in thought, then said "True~?, The townspeople weren't even able to see me. But, that's okay~, I don't need anyone other than my dragon~?"

"When you say dragon, do you mean the Dragon from the legend?"

Kate glowed red, and the look on her face showed anger.

"Oooooooo, whenever I think about it, makes me so mad! They were gonna use me as a sacrifice when..." Then she glowed pink, and her face lost the anger, replaced by love. "My dear dragon came. One look was all it took for them to let me go, and that same look captured my heart. Awwww, I remember that look~?"

Kate's Flashback, ? years ago

The mayor had his men grab me, and had told the town that all it took to keep the Grimm away. My parents were being held back, tears flowing, asking to take my place. They were ignored, and was about to be thrown over the wall...

When he flew in, falling down and hitting the ground next to the mayor. He had a cloak on, hood down and wrapped tightly around him. He got himself up, dusted himself, and turned towards the mayor. The young man had bright gold hair, hanging down past his shoulders. His green eyes shone with his hair, and his teeth flashed a bright smile as he said...

"Thou shalt not harmeth a hair ontop thy maiden's head, if thou has desire to live." She said in a deep voice, then glowed bright pink. "Kya, such a look! Even now, my heart soars as I remember his voice~?" she said as she shook her head back and forth. Glynda sweatdropped at Kate, and Kate calmed down.

"After that, he told them to give him three days. After that, he said he would send me back, and that he would solve these problems. It was then my parents objected to this, asking their daughter was chosen. His answer still sends shudders down my back~?"

Kate then adopted the deep voice again, and said "It is because I shalt have such a maiden. Her beauty was all that saveth thee from thy flames. Her black hair gloweth like the night sky, and the stars shine brightly from her eyes. She is a Maiden of the Dragon, and I, I am the Dragon!" Kate then erupted back into her fit, saying "Kya~?" throughtout it. Glynda sweatdropped again, then cleared her throat.

Kate calmed down again, and spoke.

"Those three days were the best~? He was such a gentleman, always caring for me. He would... Kya~?"

Glynda waited for more, but Kate skipped over it, saying "Those are my memories and my dragons~?"

"But on that third day, he asked me to walk out the cave and get some herbs. I did, then he did it. He used his power, and blew all the Grimm away~?" But Kate changed to a blue glow, continuing the story.

"When I got back he was almost all stone, his head was the only thing left. I ran to his side, and asked him why he did this. He just laughed, and said..." She paused, and started again, in the deep voice she used.

"My dear Dragon Maiden. I doneth this so that the town may know a safeness I never knew. There are many things I do not know, and yet you stayed with me and taught me. Know that your love hath struck, and made one such as me loveth the world as you. My power is not enough for the world, so I shall saveth the town that hath you."

She was quiet for a moment, then spoke again.

"Know this: Although I die, I shalt be reborn. I will look the same, but my memories will live on in the earth. He will be alone, and you long dead before he shalt appear. We will not meet again, so forgiveth me. But knoweth...I will... always... loveth... you, my sweet Dragon Maiden...taketh my cloak, and... liveth for... us... both..."

Kate's ghostly tears rolled down, and Glynda felt her own on her cheek. Kate then shook her head, and said in her voice, "And that is the true story. Of how such a brave Dragon fell for the Maiden. But fear not, dear dragon," she started, and turned towards the rock, and wrapped her arms around it.

"Although I will never forgive you leaving me, I will always love you."

Glynda wiped her tears away, when the crystals glowed bright. Kate turned around, a smile on her face. "And now, he shall be reborn. He shall have his name, his body, and his power, of that I am sure. But he will need a teacher." She floated towards Glynda, her hand reaching towards the huntress. Glynda felt her hand raise up, and take the ghost's hand.

Kate smile grew, and she said. "Take care of the new dragon, Glynda Goodwitch of Beacon. Teach him the evils of the world are nothing compared to the good. Teach him to defend, and most of all, tell him of a love..."

The crystals glowed so bright Glynda couldn't see.

"The love between the Dragon and the Maiden~?"

Glynda found herself back in her classroom, as if she never left. She looked around, for Kate, for the rock, anything, when she notcied a young man on her desk. He was sleeping, his gold hair covering his face. The cloak Kate wore covered his body, and she could make out a note sticking out of the cloak.

She pulled it out, and read it. She smiled, and pulled out her scroll. After dialing Ozpin's number, she looked at the young man. When Ozpin answered, she was still looking at him.

"Glynda, if this is about the Mistral hunters, then you should..."

"No, it's not that. It's the strange figure. I will give my report in person. Especially since I have a new student with me."

"I see. Do you require a ride home or has the school over there offered you a ride back?"

"You'll find out when you come to my classroom. As for the student, his name is..."

And that's a wrap! I don't think y'all need to know what his name is, since it's the title...

Ruby: Which doesn't matter since he won't let us read the fanfic

Well there is a reason for that.

Ruby: Which is?

When this fanfic is over, I'll tell you. Otherwise, some privacy when I'm writing.

Ruby: What about the author's note?

I'll let you guys know. Like I did this time.

Weiss: You should. After all, you are making a fanfic with us in it.

Uh, not really. As I said, this fanfic is 6 years before you guys are at Beacon.

Yang: 6 years, huh? Well, that's a long time.

It is, but we're getting off topic. So here is the bio

Name: N'than'el Drake (pronounced N-than-el)

Age: 17 (He is the same age as his 'death age)

Semblance: Transformation. He can transform self/anything he touches. Although it seems unremarkable, he was able to turn the ground around the towninto something Grimm hate. However, if he runs out of aura, he is stuck what he transformed into, which is why he was stuck as a rock. Knowing that, he turned completely into rock, so as to not die. Of course, Glynda's aura triggered his 'rebirth'

Aura Color: Gold

Blake: *tries to read the next fanfic chapterin progress*

No Blake, otherwise you're all going back.

Blake: *stops*

That's better. Now that's over, c'yall later!
