It had been one week since Owain had been released from the infirmary and allowed to sleep in his dorm again and he was soon back in the flow of going to lessons, doing homework and hanging out with Ruby but he was unable to train properly as his weapon had been destroyed in the fight and he had yet to find a replacement. During sparring sessions Owain was constantly out gunned as he tried to use his limited skill in unarmed combat to defeat opponents, so far he had only been able to defeat Cardin who was so over confident he never saw Owain's boot hit him in the side of the head and knock him unconscious.

Since being allowed out and around Owain did not leave Beacon as he was confident that Blaine and Eliza were still in Vale waiting for him to appear again so they could try again and Owain made sure that whenever Rub went out at least one of her teammates was with her to protect her if anything happened. Owain soon realized that he had literally nothing to do in Beacon except study and read and train so a lot of his time was spent either reading his personal collection of books or he decided to get to know his team's life more than he already did. It was during one of these get to know each other sessions with Anastasia that Owain realized he knew nothing about his team except their names. He was shocked to learn about the troubles that Anastasia had suffered since being a small child and he soon began to hate himself for ever being involved in The Shadows as he now learnt how they had ruined many peoples lives.

While Owain and Anastasia were getting to know each other, Ruby had all but dragged Yang and Weiss into Vale so she could buy a gift for Owain and she had the perfect idea for one, or more accurately, two perfect ideas for gifts. After getting off the airship Ruby headed straight towards The Sharpened Edge, which was a local weapon shop which specialized in melee weapons such as swords and spears.

Yang asked "What are we doing here?".

Ruby replied cheerfully "Well ever since Owain's weapon broke I've been thinking of getting him a new one and our two month anniversary is coming up so i thought I'd get him a new weapon because his unarmed skills are simply atrocious." This reply made Yang giggle and Weiss smirk.

"What did you have in mind for him?" Weiss asked looking around at the wide array of weapons.

"Well a sword to begin with as that is his natural weapon but I'm gonna have one customized to make it more personal and then i was thinking something like a spear as well" and with that said Ruby went to the counter to inquire about custom made swords. "So i was thinking about purchasing a custom made sword and how much would that cost?" she asked the man politely.

"Well are there any specific design features you would like done?" the man asked.

Ruby thought for a while before deciding "Yes can the pommel be shaped to look like a rose and can the blade have a red trim on the blade if that is possible?" Ruby asked. The man nodded before doing some quick calculations in his head "The sword would be about 500 lien, is there anything else you would like?"

Ruby nodded before pointing at the spears at the far side of the store and quickly skipped over to them before studying which one would be best for Owain. "Hey Yang, do you think Owain would like this spear?" she asked about a particular spear. When Yang looked at the spear she noticed that the blade was a dark metal and had a notch in the middle and at the base of the spear was another small spike and a small strand of red silk string hang from the bottom. "He would love this Ruby" Yang said about the spear. Ruby quickly grabbed the spear and headed back to the counter to purchase the weapons.

The man behind the counter quickly added the two prices together and said "That will be 900 lien" and as Ruby handed over the money "I can have the sword ready tomorrow and you can leave the spear here and pick up both tomorrow".

"That would be helpful, thank you very much" Ruby said, the man simply smiled and took the spear before saying "Do you want anything carved on the blade of the sword, free of charge".

"Yes, can you carve the name Owain into the blade please" Ruby said and with that left the store with Yang and Weiss and headed back to Beacon. As soon as they arrived they were greeted by Owain who quickly embraced Ruby, while Yang and Weiss beat a hasty retreat to avoid any awkwardness. "Where have you been" Owain asked Ruby who shrugged "Shopping for your anniversary gift, I hope you remembered that it was coming up." Owain laughed at this lack of faith before kissing Ruby briefly on the lips and saying "Of course i remembered and since I dare not leave Beacon I got Lykaon and Paris to get me your gift with very strict instructions, but you'll have to wait another two days to see what it is."

The next day Ruby had gone back to the weapon shop with Blake and had quickly acquired the weapons before heading back to Beacon to find a place to hide them from Owain.

Owain on the other hand had hidden Ruby's gift in team RWBY's dorm as this would be the last place Ruby would ever search for it.

The next day and after lessons had finished and everyone had done their homework, Ruby and Owain met in the gardens of Beacon to exchange gifts and simply enjoy the rest of their day together. Owain gave his gift first and as Ruby opened it she noticed it was a pendent encrusted with rubies and opening the pendent revealed a picture of Owain and Ruby together. This gift brought tears to Ruby's eyes and she kissed Owain briefly before allowing Owain to put the pendent on her. "Thank you Owain, its beautiful, but now for your gifts" and she quickly produced two wrapped packages from who knows where and handed them to Owain. Owain took them and opened one to reveal a beautiful but dangerous looking spear which he admired briefly before opening the second package to reveal a beautifully crafted sword, similar to his old sword but with minor but noticeably differences, one being that the pommel was shaped like a rose, another being that his name was carved above the hilt, the most noticeably difference however was the red trim along the edge of the blade. Owain carefully placed the weapons down before Ruby spoke quickly "I hope you like them, i mean i don't know your weapon pref.." she was cut off by Owain pulling her into a searing kiss which she soon returned. After they broke apart Owain looked her in the eyes and said "I love them", Ruby smiled widely at this reply before lying down on the grass and pulling Owain down with her. They both just lay there and by the time they went back to their dorms it was gone ten. When Owain finally got into his bed he hoped that there would be hundreds more days like this one, but he also knew that before he could truly feel safe in his new life he had unfinished business to attend to.

I will soon be introducing another one of my OCs as well as a viewers OC, I'm not sure of the roles they will play but they will be villains most definitely although another hero OC may come after that.
