Chapter Seven: Reincarnation?
As I was heading to the cliff, I saw a figure standing next to the ledge. He was holding a cane. "Oscar?"
"I knew you would come. "So, was I right?"
I used my polarity on his cane. "I have so many questions." I handed him back his cane.
"I know you do, so let's talk."
"Why don't I have a schedule, first of all?"
"Well…" He paused for a moment. "Ozpin, the one in my head. He's the one I mentioned on the train, by the way. He said that you're special and that you don't need silly old Haven academy to teach you to get stronger. You need me. I'll train you everyday."
"But, my team needs me. I'm their leader."
"And as there leader, you will train them. Whatever Ozpin tells me to teach you, you teach them. Pyrrha use to train Jaune her moves sometimes."
"Speaking of her, what do you mean I'm the reincarnation of Pyrrha Nikos? You said I look like her, just like my new friends. Did she also have polarity like me?"
"A reincarnation means a newborn of a person who dies, and yes you look like her. Red hair, green eyes, and she also had polarity. You also sound like her."
"But why does it feel like I wasn't reborn. One day I woke up in a forest and was found by my parents, or at least I thought they were my parents. I looked nothing like them. They brought me in and treated me like I was their child. I looked fourteen at the time, not a newborn."
"Fourteen years old? That's impossible. How old are you now?"
"I'm seventeen. Almost eighteen."
"You've only lived for three years? So if you are here now...this is impossible. You wouldn't have met anyone from here. You shouldn't have met me. When you are reincarnated you go to the future. There is a possibility that you went into the past."
"The past?"
"Yeah, and during those three years you have lived, Beacon was still intact. Team RWBY and the others were on their first year, but the Grimm attacked before they started their second. Pyrrha died, and Ruby saved everyone."
"They probably attacked every village while they attacked the school."
"Not all of them at once, some were already attacked before the students came to Beacon. They were still too young. Some villages could be under attack right now. Who knows, but I am certain you went back into the past and only lived for three years. On your third year, that's when the Grimm attacked the school and your village, and I'm guessing you've been traveling after the attack?"
"Yes, and while I was traveling, I heard the news about Beacon in a village that I passed by and I asked people around if there is another school to go to. That's when they told me about Haven, so I came here."
"Hmm." He paused. "I need you to do me a favor."
"That is?"
"I need you to reach her, Pyrrha. Her soul may be inside you."
"How do I do that exactly?"
"Have you had a visions yet?"
"Yeah, actually, but they just showed up out of nowhere. I don't know how."
"Was she in them?"
"Yeah, and she said something to me. Something about believing in destiny, I think."
"Destiny?" He paused again for a minute.
"What's wrong?"
"Ozpin said that she was destined to be the next Fall Maiden, but Cinder got in the way and took the power and killed her. Where was she when you had that vision?"
"She was on top of a building, and on her knees. She was looking right at me."
"Imagine her again, same vision. "Close your eyes."
"Ok." I closed my eyes and tried to imagine Pyrrha again. I tried hearing those words again, 'Do you believe in destiny?' while she was on her knees.
"Take your time, focus. If you don't feel comfortable, we can do it another time or move to a different area. It's your choice."
"We'll stay here, like I said, I need to focus. Can you keep it quiet for me, please?"
"Sure."
I focused so hard on the vision. It just won't show. We were there for who knows how long.
"Maybe we need to try something. Was there something that triggered that vision. Something that made you see it? Maybe even a word somebody else said.
"Like I said, I don't know how it happened, it just popped up."
"Destiny." Oscar said.
"What?" I opened my eyes. All of a sudden, my chest started hurting and I could barely breathe. I fell to my hands and heard the words come out of my mouth. "Do you believe in destiny?"
"Pyrrha, is that you?"
I lost control and fell to the floor. Next thing I know, I woke from my bed gasping for air. My teammates were sitting on the floor looking worried and then jumped in the air. They all came to my side.
"Titania! You ok?! Louis asked. "I thought you were dead! Don't scare me like that!"
"Don't scare any of us like that!" Alistair said. You're our team leader, we don't know what we would do without you."
"I know, I'm sorry, but I'm fine, I think." I said.
"Louis told us what happened. How come you don't have a schedule?" Evelyn asked.
"I was given a folder. It had a letter in it. It was written to me from a young boy I met on the way to Haven. He told me that I was special and will train me everyday.
"What do you mean by that?" Louis asked.
"Look, it's a long story, but I do believe Louis has to show you guys something."
"Oh, I totally forgot about that. You guys ready?"
"Sure. Is this the surprise you were talking about early today?" Evelyn asked.
"I can't wait." Alistair said.
Louis pulled his hood down and showed them his ears.
"Oh my gosh! Those are adorable. We have a faunus in our team!" Evelyn said.
"Wow, I wasn't expecting this at all. Those are pretty 'cool'. Sorry, that was lame."
Everyone started laughing.
"Thanks guys, and it kinda was, but it's still funny." Louis said. "Now, I don't want anyone else to know. It's just a secret between us."
"We are a team. No one is going to go behind your back and take the cat out of the bag." I said.
"Thanks, Titania. Now I think it's time for that long story of yours. We got plenty of time before we go to bed."
"Alright then." Everyone, but me, sat on top of Evelyn's bed, while i was on mine."Everyone ready?"
They all nodded their heads.
"Ok, here we go." I took a deep breathe. "I...I'm a reincarnation."
