Earlier during initiation (Sable)

Sable landed on a tree branch then gracefully fell to the floor. She smiled as she dusted herself off and observed her surroundings, everything was peaceful so she decided to begin to walk north.

Something caught Sable's eye and she stood dead still. Taking a deep breath, she activated her semblance which muffled her movements to make no noise. Crouching now, she moved slowly to a tree just in front of her. The sight at the tree's base is what caught her attention and made her become so silent, for at the base of the tree was... a fallen birds nest.

Newborn birds cawed, unable to fly and Sable felt her heart strings be pulled at the sight. She carefully lifted the nest and put in a branch where she assumed the nest had been before. Deactivating her semblance she smiled widely at the sight of the birds now where they should be.

"You guys stay out of trouble okay? Wait here until your mother comes back and if you need me just yell." Sable said sweetly to the baby birds.

"Got a thing for baby birds?" A voice said behind her. She turned to see a tanned and toned boy who was shorter than her. His hair was black, shaggy and looked as if he hadn't brushed it in days.

"Who are you?" Sable asked, ignoring his question and looking him over. He didn't exactly look the part of a Beacon student wearing a tattered vest over a black shirt and tan cargo shorts. What really caught her attention was the bracelets on his wrists and just below his knees and upon careful examination the Ram girl noticed burn scars peaking out from underneath the bracelets.

"Victor. You?"

"Sable." Victor gave a relaxed sort of smirk, nodding his head and putting his hands in his pockets.

"Nice to meet ya." He started to walk away but Sable grabbed his hood and held him back.

"That's the wrong way. Let's go before we attract any monsters." Sable rolled her eyes and dragged the boy with her in the opposite direction.

For a good five minutes Sable dragged Victor through the forest while he whistled songs to lighten the mood. After another five minutes had passed Sable made Victor walk on his own, and so he did. It was after another five minutes when Sable and Victor started getting the sneaking suspicion that something was following them. Just moments later the suspicion was validated and they both turned around to see two Ursa on their hind legs, ready to strike.

"Get back!" Sable shouted as one of the Ursa swung it's claw down at Victor who jumped out of the way in time. They each pulled out their weapons and took half a second to see what the other had. Sable had a sword with curved guard which extended into a large staff with the blade at the end, looking like a Naginata but with a straightened blade instead of a curved one. Victor too pulled out a short blade with a guard along with a standard handgun.

"Take close ranged offense." Sable commanded as she now stood back to back with Victor. He nodded and charged forward, firing and aiming his gun at the Ursa's yellow-red eyes. He grabbed a spike from the Ursa's arm and used it to jump atop the Ursa's neck to shoot more at its weak spots and carry on in his offense behavior.

Sable on the other hand stood ready with her spear like weapon, she looked almost at ease. The Ursa struck and she blocked it with the blade as she turned right then finished her circle and cut deep into the Ursa's neck. It howled in pain as the soulless monsters blood poured from its wound. However, her blade was now stuck between the monsters armor.

"Minor setback." Sable muttered and had the weapon shorten into a sword. She charged and struck downward on the Ursa's non wounded side of the neck then brought her blade up again in Spear form and cleanly cut the neck off.

Brushing a hair away from her face she turned to see Victor leaning against his dead Ursa, arms crossed.

"Not too bad. Least you can fight." Victor smiled. Sable smirked and shook her head as she put her weapon, Wylken, away. The boy jumped on top of the dead beast and took his sword back from it's neck and sheathed it.

"I think that was the best introduction we could have had." Sable extended her hand to shake Victors. He jumped down and shook her hand.

"Agreed."

Meanwhile (Moss)

Moss was pretty much done with the day already. Not only had he almost slept in but he also could see the temple with the relics and had no partener. He started to ponder what would happen if he returned to the cliffs without a partner. Would he just be assigned a random person? Would he be kicked out for not finding anyone?

"God dammit, I'm gonna be kicked out." Moss sighed and trudged towards the temple. The temple itself was pretty old and worn down, broken columns with moss and dirt all over them. Sitting beneath a column with a relic on it was a cat faunas with her nose in a different book than he saw her reading the night before. Instead of her cute pajamas from the night before she was in a black battle skirt with a flame design on it and a vermillion long sleeved shirt with barely noticeable armor woven into it. Her legs were crossed and he saw her knee high black socks under black armored boots. As he approached he saw her eyes move up to his and heard her sigh deeply.

"Do I really have to be with you?" She asked and flipped a page in her book and continued to read.

"You're welcome to leave, pussy cat." Moss glared, "I can handle my own." Luka's eyes slowly looked up at him with the most deadly glare he had seen.

"Call me that one more time, racist pig." She said in a low tone.

"Woah, racist? No hon, I'm not a racist." He said defensively and put his hands up to show his non resistance.

"No? Perhaps you're just arrogant then." She looked back to her book to read. Moss sighed and looked around, scratching his head. Was she really his partner now?

"So are you like the first one here?" He asked. She simply nodded.

"I never caught your name." He said now, he kept talking as if it was a form of apology for calling her a pussy cat.

"It's Luka." She sighed and put her book in a small bag on her waist. "I guess we really are partners now. I'll forgive your comment earlier on one condition."

"What?"

"Tell me my cookies were not too chewy." She said, looking him in the eye. Moss couldn't help but laugh. Was all this anger just from his cookie comment? What a weird cat.

"Fine, fine. They were perfect." Moss continued to laugh and he smiled at her. She smirked confidently. The silence returned and Moss grabbed three chess pieces, which appeared to be the "relics". Naturally he started juggling them.

"Oh, oh, which one are we gonna get? Nobody knows! I know! Any guesses from the lovely cat in the crowd?" He asked, juggling while walking in circles around Luka. She gave a small laugh and grabbed one of the pieces in his hand. Moss nodded and threw the other two pieces at the temple.

Even after his juggling she still seemed sad though. So, naturally he picked her up and started running back to the cliffs.

"Let go of me!" She yelled and there was suddenly a fiery explosion from dust and she stood opposite of him. Moss's eye was drawn toward the dim red light on the heel of her shoe.

"Did you just…" He said in shock. Luka bent her knees to jump then there was another fiery explosion. He saw her leap above him and land behind him, in a cat like stance.

"I put dust in my heels. If we are on a team you should know my trump cards." She said, seeming slightly annoyed at this delay in their journey.

"Damn…" Was all Moss could say before gesturing back towards the cliffs. They continued walking in a very, awkward silence.

So….close….to the end of this…..

Let me know what you think, and one thing I forgot to mention! I try to make all my submitters happy so if there is a scene or a line or something that you want your character to say/do at some point in my story let me know! I'd love to incorporate it :)
