Owain and Paris had now been walking several minutes and had not come to find any trace of ruins. Out of nowhere they heard a scream and just hoped the girl that it belonged to was alright. They soon entered a clearing with a ruin in the middle but before they could act upon this a pack of eight beowulfs appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Owain gestured to Paris to take the left four while he concentrated on the right four. Owain quickly unsheathed his sword and split them into two before spinning into combat, whereas Paris calmly waited for any beowulf to make the mistake of coming too close to her dust-infused katana which was quickly sliced to pieces. Within minutes the beowulfs were either dead or dying and Owain turned to Paris.

"What do you call your weapon" he asked her.

"Oh it is called Endbringer, but i call it princess." Owain raised an eyebrow at this answer "Why princess?"

"because it is super graceful in combat" she quickly replied. Owain couldn't argue with this after seeing her fight.

Owain and Paris soon entered the ruins to find chess pieces, all of them still in their places which Owain quickly guessed it meant they were the first to arrive. Paris picked a castle piece before a loud noise was heard behind them and they hid in nearby bushes in case of unwanted grimm attention. To their relief all that appeared was Yang with a black haired girl with a bow on her head. "That's Blake Belladonna" Paris said immediately. Soon after a redhead girl and a black haired man came riding in on an ursa before it promptly died causing the redhead to moan and say "ahhh its broken". After these two pairs had gathered their pieces Ruby Rose fell from the sky, literally from the sky, before Pyrrha and the blonde haired boy she had speared earlier came running in chased by a deathstalker which promptly knocked the blonde into a tree.

While all this was happening Owain and Paris were still hiding in the bushes before a scream was heard and everyone looked up to see the white haired girl falling from the sky, only to be promptly caught by the blonde after which they both fell to the ground . All these events left Owain with a sore head trying to make sense of it all. "Do you wanna head back to the cliff" he asked. Paris simply nodded her head. After an uneventful walk back to the cliff and a climb up said cliff which almost ended with Owain falling on more than one occasion, they were soon standing in front of Ozpin and Goodwitch. "Are we the first back?" a breathless Owain inquired, Ozpin nodded beofre Goodwitch told them to go wait inside Beacon until it was time to form teams.

An hour or two later all of the pairs had returned with a chess piece and some with injuries. Ruby and her partner who had been introduced As Weiss Schnee had been teamed with Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna to from team RWBY with Ruby as the leader, a fact which made Owain smile inside. After another twenty minutes of team forming where a team JNRP was formed and a Team CRDN, there were only four students left, as only looked at the other three students he realized that this was going to be his team for the next few years.

Ozpin called them up to the stage before saying "Owain Soerensen, Paris Duriez, Anastasia Wichita and Lykaon Piraeus, you will form Team OPAL, led by Owain Soerensen". This made Owain's eyes pop out and his mouth to drop before he noticed the rest of his team looking at him.

Team OPAL were soon shown to their room where Owain could get his first look at the other two members the team. Anastasia was a cat faunas which was the most noticeably fact as she had two cat ears on the top of her head, she was wearing a red dress with blue trim and had yellow eyes as well as long red hair with an off center pony tail. Lykaon had purple hair with a small ponytail coming down from his head while he wore a suit and tie colored in black and white which gained Owain's approval, while his eyes were a dark red, most noticeably was the bow on his back.

"Soooo, guys I'd like to formally introduce myself, I am Owain and i guess i'll be your leader and hopefully friend for the next couple of years" Owain said formally. The others smiled and introduced themselves in a similar fashion before Owain asked "so what weapons do you guys have and what do you call them, i know about Paris' sword and my weapons as well". Lykaon was the first to speak "Well firstly i have this bow which can transform into a crossbow for a little extra 'oomph' I call it Netherstrand, but i also have this staff which splits to from two maces this is called Last Laugh". Owain nodded his approval and Anastasia and Paris gave a thumbs up.

Anastasia now stood up "well not sure i can follow that but i have this spear which is fairly boring it is called Hope's Edge but i also have this." she said as she pulled out a whip tipped with metal spikes all along "this beauty is called Witherbrand, pretty cool, huh?" Owain said "Well my weapon is this sword which splits into two swords, I call it dusk and dawn" Owain paused before continuing "I also have this" and we withdrew Nemesis from his sleeve "This is called Nemesis, i usually don't show it to people but seeing as we're teammates here, i see no harm in it." Anastasia, Paris and Lykaon nodded and looked impressed before Paris stood up and said "Well this is my weapon, it is a dust infused Katana called Endbringer." Before Anastasia and Lykaon could respond a loud bang was heard at the door.

Owain opened it to find none other than Ruby Rose standing there, her eyes closed, mouth smiling "Hi neighbor, my team lives next door and well i was hop..." She stumbled as she opened her eyes to find Owain looking at her with happy eyes. "Oh, uhhh Hi Owain, i'll be going now." Before Owain could protest she spun and ran back to her dorm and quickly slammed the door shut. Owain shook his head and smiled "what a weird little girl" he thought aloud.

As Ruby got back into her dorm and slammed the door, her team looked up at her and Yang asked "Hey sis whats up, how did the introducing go?"

Ruby blushed "I don't want to talk about it" she said before burying her face on her pillow.

Weiss and Blake looked at Yang who just smiled before saying "she probably ran into this guy she has a crush on." Weiss and Blake laughed.

"I don't have a crush on him, Yang!" Ruby shouted. "Then why can't you talk to him without stuttering and why do you constantly stare at him?" Yang quickly retorted.

Ruby was thinking "why is it so hard to talk to him, I mean i like him but surely not in that way, I've only just met him, and i don't stare at him although his eyes are pretty dreamy and he is quite muscular" Ruby gasped and finally admitted to herself she had a crush on Owain.

"Ok, Yang I may have a tiny crush on Owain, but nothing else, I mean he probably doesn't even like me." Ruby said looking downhearted

Yang hated seeing her sister like this and quickly formulated a plan to find out how Owain felt. "Don't worry Rubes, i got this!" She exclaimed while giving Ruby a thumbs up. Blake and Weiss were confused by this exchange but simply shrugged it off as a sister thing.
