In the Headmaster's office of Ozpin, who is seated behind his desk across from Pyrrha and F/n, as the last rays of twilight come through the clock-decorated windows.

F/n: "Why does he need me too?" He has a puzzled look on his face.

Ozpin: "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. And for you as well, F/n. Good job on getting your team to the finals."

Pyrrha: "Thank you, Professor Ozpin, but I would never have made it this far without my teammates."

Qrow is in his spot leaning against a column in the back of the room, arms crossed.

Qrow: "Personally, I think it's the other way around."

Pyrrha: "I'm sorry, but I don't believe we've been introduced."

Qrow: "Name's Qrow. And that was for F/n, right."

F/n: "Stop, old man. My team also helped to get to the finals. But I did create that move for me and yang..." He puts on a prideful grin.

Ozpin: "Qrow is a trusted colleague of mine."

Pyrrha: "Professor, if you don't mind me asking, why have you called me here?"

F/n: "And why am I still here?" He asks

Ozpin: "Because you'll be needed too. Now, please, take a seat." When they do so, he puts his fingers up to his lips, leaning back casually. "What is your favorite fairy tale?"

Pyrrha: "I'm... sorry?"

Ozpin: "Fairy tales, stories from your childhood. Surely you must remember some of them."

Pyrrha: "Well, there's The Tale of the Two Brothers, The Shallow Sea, The Girl in the Tower..."

Ozpin looks at F/n, waiting for an answer.

F/n: "I didn't know... The Wonderful Wizard of Oz?" Qrow chuckles at that response as Ozpin sighs and focuses his attention on Pyrrha.

Ozpin: "What about The Story of the Seasons?"

Pyrrha: "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. Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall; the four maidens. My mother loves that story.

F/n: "The Maidens. This is definitely what Rogue was talking about."

Ozpin: "Would you believe me if I told you that one's been around since I was a boy?"

Pyrrha: "You're not that old, Professor."

Ozpin: "Well, would you believe me if I told you it was true? Both of you."

Pyrrha: "I beg your pardon?"

F/n: "Well of course, I believe, you have nothing to hide, right?"

Ozpin looks down in guilt before returning to his serious manner. That face didn't bother F/n, because, he was always suspicious of him.

Ozpin: "What if I were to tell you that there were four maidens existing in this world, that could wield such tremendous power, without Dust?"

Pyrrha: "You mean... like a Semblance?"
