Just let YouTube go random… discovered the Sidh, quite amazing group.

Today was her day. She had left everything she knew on the doorstep of her home: family and friends, home and school, everything. With a slight chance that she would never see any of it ever again. Somewhere, deep inside, she knew she should have been more worried than she currently was, but she couldn't get past the joy and pride she was feeling. Today, on her tenth birthday, she would be given her place in the society! Bypassing thousands of people slowly getting to work, she could help but wonder who she would be. Would she be a Steel guardian, like her father? Or an Iron-willed jeweler like her mother? Perhaps something completely different… Without even acknowledging it, she sped up her walk toward the giant amphitheater that would hold the ceremony, which she found crowded by numerous people all muttering about the event at hand.

Of course, how could she forget? She was perhaps one of the lucky people to actually be born on the ceremony's day, but she wasn't alone at this event. And this year marked the Schnee heiress' tenth birthday as well, meaning that an awful lot of nobility would attend it, just to see her rank. After all, she was the daughter of a Platinum governor, and the sister of a Sapphire admiral… As she caught sight of the white-haired girl, Blake thought that there was a lot of pressure on her shoulders, and that she wouldn't take her place for all the privileges in the world. Ever.

Miraculously making her way through the crowd, she finally entered the prep room, after having presented her ID card. Rapidly pushed toward an individual cabin, she new she had to change in the ceremony ballgown. She didn't really like the frilly look of it, but she knew that it would change at the exact moment she would place her hand on the Deciding Plate. As soon as she had changed, she suddenly realized that her former clothes were nowhere to be seen… Shrugging, she resigned herself to get out and face the new world.

"Hello!" she had barely made a step out that a tall blonde girl hailed her

"Umh... hello?" she said, unsure that she was authorized to talk on such fateful day.

"I'm Yang! I thought you seemed all serious, so I wanted to see if I could cheer you up a little!" the girl said, extending her hand

"Blake…" she answered, shyly shaking her hand

"Don't worry, I won't eat you! Any idea on which rank you'll have?" she pursued, visibly not discouraged by Blake's shy answer

"I don't know… My parents are Steel and Iron, so I guess I won't be too far from it." Slowly warming up to the cheerful kid, Blake started smiling

"My father's a Coal miner, and my mother was a Fool Gold, so I'm as lost as you are! Well actually, she was a Silver before she married my father…"

The raven-haired nodded understandingly. She knew that "Fool Gold" was the rank given to precious metal that had married an inferior rank and lost all privileges in the process. Being the daughter of such union was rough, since almost everyone saw you as a failure, a crack in the society… Having been raised by loving and understanding parents, she had luckily avoided all those prejudices and was more open-minded than most of the child in this city.

"I guess we'll know soon!" she said, wanting Yang to know that she wasn't a judgmental jerk

She just had the time to see her smile, before she realized that she was almost on stage. And that before her, solemnly placing a hand on the Deciding Plate, was Weiss Schnee. A few seconds passed as the plate analyzed her and her past, before the light in the room changed to blue and her dress suddenly morphed in a delicate, pristine white. At this exact instant, the crowd exploded in cheers and applause, as the Diamond ruler insignia was shown on all the screens. Blake's eye widened, as such rank hadn't been attributed in ages, even before her parents were born… Surely this Weiss' was heading toward a glorious, and exigent life. She couldn't tell if she was happy or desolated by the new… But she didn't really have time to think it through. The future ruler went on her rank space, more alone that anyone would seem, while Yang stepped on stage.

Of course, with such parenthood, her arrival on stage wasn't unnoticed. Seeing as how the crowd went silent altogether, Blake thought that perhaps their passing order wasn't randomized, that the organizers behind the ceremony had deliberately placed her after Weiss to emphasize the heiress success…

Every light turned a bright orange, and Yang's dress morphed into a shining, beautiful gold that was looking pale when compared to the girl's beaming smile. She had just restored honor on her family, proving that even if her mother was a Fool Gold, she could be someone great. Blake surprised herself by applauding loudly, trying to compensate by herself the meaningful silence of the public. She got herself a few angry glares, but she didn't care. It was her turn.

She stepped to the Deciding plate while Yang was quietly claiming her place in the precious metals area, extending her hand and pausing for a slight second, hand hovering the metal piece that would decide of her future. Sighing, she decided to trust a system as old as civilization, and finally posed her hand on the surprisingly warm surface. She closed her eyes almost automatically, before being forced to open them as the light became grey and a few people in the crowd cheered. Turning around, she saw that it was her parents and some of the people she knew, and she was about to salute them before she noticed that something wasn't right.

There were tears in her mother's eye, and as she saw the screen, she understood why. She wasn't Iron, or Steel like she had thought. She wasn't Rock either. She was Silver. Which meant that this was the last she would probably see of her parents. Feeling a lonely tear roll on her cheek, she hurried herself on the spot next to Yang.

"Thanks for the cheering Blake" Yang muttered slowly, as to not disturb the rest of the ceremony.

"Any day" Blake answered, slightly relieved

Even if she had lost her parents, she had found a friend.

Done! I have no idea why, but when I read "Silver" for today's theme, my brain went on with fusing Divergent and Steven Universe. Seriously, I have NO FREAKING IDEA. But I think it's cool!

Also, sorry for yesterday's rough AN, I was really tired, and I realized I hadn't written anything around 23:45 so yeah… didn't really put maximum effort into it.

Anyway, hope you liked it, and I'll see you tomorrow pals!
