(But why is the rum gone?)
(3rd Person)
Headmaster's office of Professor Ozpin, who is seated behind his desk across from Pyrrha Nikos, as the last rays of twilight come through the clock-decorated windows.
"Well, it comes as no surprise that they've chosen you to move on to the final round of the tournament. Your performance was exemplary," Ozpin said.
"Thank you, Professor Ozpin, but I would never have made it this far without my teammates," Pyrrha said humbly.
"Personally, I think it's the other way around," Pyrrha hearing Qrow's voice. She turns seeing him leaning against a column in the back of the room, arms crossed.
Pyrrha gets up from her chair, trying to be formal. "I'm sorry, but I don't believe we've been introduced."
"Name's Qrow," Said the old man, being somewhat hostile.
"Qrow is a trusted colleague of mine," Ozpin said to her, with a smile.
Pyrrha look at Qrow for a moment before turning to Ozpin. "Professor, if you don't mind me asking, why have you called me here?"
"Please, take a seat," When she does so, he puts his fingers up to his lips, leaning back casually. "What is your favorite fairy tale?"
Pyrrha being confused. "I'm... sorry?"
"Fairy tales, stories from your childhood. Surely you must remember some of them."
"Well, there's ,The Tale of the Two Brothers, The Howling Wolf, The Girl in the Tower...
"What about The Story of the Season?
"Well, of course! A callous old man, who refuses to leave his home, is visited by four traveling sisters. The first understands his reclusive nature and urges him to use his time in solitude to reflect and meditate. The second brings him fruits and flowers, tending to his crops and revitalizing his garden. The third warms the man's heart, convincing him to step outside and embrace the world around him. And the fourth and final sister begs him to look at all that he has, and be thankful. In return for their kindness, the man grants the maidens incredible powers, so that they may continue to help others all over the world. They graciously accept, and promise to share their gifts with the people of Remnant 'til the end of days," She looked at Ozpin. "Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall; the four maidens. My mother loves that story."
"Would you believe me if I told you that one's been around since I was a boy?"
Pyrrha quickly laugh, but stopped to not be rude. "You're not that old, Professor."
Ozpin quickly turn playful to deadly serious. "Well, would you believe me if I told you it was true?"
Pyrrha gotten silent for a moment, then gives an uneasy chuckle. "I beg your pardon?"
"What if I were to tell you that there were four maidens existing in this world, that could wield such tremendous power, without Dust?"
"You mean... like a Semblance?"
"Like Magic." Ozpin said with a small smile as he said his secret
" I..." Pyrrha tried to make sense
"Yeah," Qrow said trying to comfort the kid "First time hearing it's pretty crazy."
"You're serious?" Pyrrha asked him.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" She turned, and saw a straight-faced Ozpin.
"... No." She struggles for the right words. "Why... why are you telling me this?"
