Auburn RWBY (RWBY x Male OC, Ruby x Male Reader)[On Hold]

Reunions and Rest

This is it! It's time for some teammates to be reunited with their leaders! Yeah, that's basically the gist of today's chapter. Let's get to it.
—————————————
*3rd Person POV*

At the Branwen Tribe camp, Vernal pours cups of tea for Raven, Yang and Weiss. They are all inside Raven's tent with the latter three seated around a table.

Raven: "You can wait outside. Thank you." She said to Vernal.

Vernal does so.

Yang: "So, what's the "truth"?"

Raven: "You know, it's better when it's hot." She said, taking a sip from her cup.

Weiss: "You know, you're really obnoxious."

Raven: "The truth is that "truth" is hard to come by. A story of victory for one person is a story of defeat for someone else. By now, your uncle has surely told Ruby and her friends plenty of stories."

Yang: "Well, he's never given me a reason to doubt him before."

Raven: "That doesn't mean those reasons don't exist." Yang glares at her. "You know, you, your teammates, and your friends might as well be the poster children for the Huntsman Academies. Your motives vary, but you all enrolled to try and make the world a better place. It's adorable."

Yang: "It's what Huntsmen and Huntresses do."

Raven: "Not all of them. Some people are just in it for the money and the fame, but there's even more that are just looking to grow stronger. Your Uncle Qrow and I didn't attend Beacon to become Huntsmen. We did it to learn how to kill Huntsmen."

Yang and Weiss gasp at this, exchanging a brief look with each other.

Raven: "Daddy and Uncle left that part out, hm?" She pours more tea for herself. "Aside from the Grimm, Huntsmen were the only ones capable of ruining our raids and hunting us down. Our tribe needed a counterforce." She takes another sip. "And Qrow and I were the perfect age." She stands up. "The entrance exams were child's play compared to what we'd already been through. We were good. So good, that we caught the attention of Beacon's very own Headmaster, Professor Ozpin. Even after we were put on a team, I could tell he was keeping his eye on us. Back then, I thought it was because he knew, but it was Team STRQ he was interested in."

Yang: "What do you mean by that?"

Raven: "Constant attention, extra training missions, turning a blind eye whenever we happened to break the rules and get into more trouble than we should've. Sound familiar?"

Yang and Weiss share another glance at each other. Weiss gestures Yang to keep going.

Yang: "What's your point?"

Raven: "How much do you know about Professor Ozpin? About his past?"

Weiss: "He was... a prodigy. One of the youngest headmasters to be appointed to a school."

Raven: "Because that's how he planned it. Because the man you know as Ozpin designed those schools and has followers inside every academy on Remnant that are loyal to him and no one else."

Yang: "That doesn't make any sense! How could he have...? No. Why would someone even do that?"

Raven: "Because old man Oz has a great and terrible secret. One that could spread fear across the world. One that he eventually entrusted to our team and to that kid Azure's parents, and once I knew, there was no going back. I needed to know more, but with every new discovery I made, the more horrifying the world became."

Yang: "Okay, then tell us. What's the big secret? What's so crazy that the rest of us don't know?"

Raven: "The creatures of Grimm... have a master named Salem. She can't be stopped, she can't be reasoned with, and she will not rest until humanity crumbles at her feet."
