「The Crow and the Wolf」

「Chapter Two - A Team」

Team RWBY trailed after Qrow, and Thyra who were walking with them to the stadium to watch the matches up close. There was tension between the two, but also a vague fondness. They bickered continuously, Thyra scolding Qrow when he tried to bring up one topic.

"What's going on between Qrow and Thyra? They seem to have history together," Weiss muttered, earning a hesitant stare from both Ruby and Yang. Blake, and Weiss stared at the two curiously as the two sisters shared a look, conveying their thoughts without words.

"Qrow, Aunt Thyra, we're going to hang out before watching the matches, so save some seats for us!" Yang chimed, earning two suspicious stares. Thyra opened her mouth to comment, but when Qrow rested his hand on her shoulder, shaking his head when she looked at him, she kept her mouth shut, nodding her head.

"Alright, just stay safe," the Hunter replied, dismissing the girls with a wave, as the two Huntsmen continued to look for seats.

The team of students walked off, out of the stadium, and walked over to some booths. Finding a table somewhat isolated from everyone, the girls all sat down around the round table.

"Why'd you bring us here?" Blake asked, voice monotone, but her eyes gave away her curiosity.

"Because Weiss had a question about Qrow and Aunt Thyra, and we're going to tell you," Ruby replied, voice uncharacteristically calm. "They don't like to talk or hear about it, and would prefer if people didn't mention it around them."

"What about their past is so terrible that they elect to avoid it?" Weiss asked, tilting her head, eyebrows furrowing.

"It wasn't really something terrible; something quite beautiful, actually," Yang sighed. "They were engaged, and in love in the best way. From what they told us as kids, things started when they met during Evaluations."

The two supervisors watched as students began to line up, readying themselves to go off into the emerald forest. Some students muttered to each other, noticing the four girls on the end, all from the same place, judging by their face paint, and their interaction. Though teams were supposed to be random, everyone had a hunch that those four girls would find a way to get together.

"Alright, ready?" Everyone drew out their weapons. "Good luck."

One by one the new students were launched into the air, sailing towards the forest. A young male who had stood next to one of the four girls, could see them all sharing looks, grinning at each other as they neared the forest tops. One of them seemed to slow down, as if they were floating. Another one was moving her hands, and a root began to sprout out of the ground, and she positioned herself, so her feet could land on it. She began to slide down it, giving a loud howl of enjoyment. Another one had transformed her blades into pistols, and she held the trigger, seeming to charge up the energy within them, and as she was about to harshly land, she let go of the trigger, causing an explosion that shot her up ten feet above the ground, allowing her to flip, and land with a graceful step. She spun the triggerguards around her pointer fingers, the pistols transforming back into blades. The fourth one of them had hooked her axes onto the now fully grown tree, and used her momentum to swing around all the way to the base of the tree, where the other three were standing.

Curious, the young male tried his best to stop on a branch of the tall tree, trying to quietly make his way down to hear the conversation.

"Letta and I will split off, and you and Dimma will go together. Race you to the temple," the one decked out in red challenged.

"Challenge accepted," the one in black replied, smugly. "Thyra, and I will destroy you guys."

"Psh, as if," the one in gold armour snickered, flicking her long braids over her shoulders. "Pina and I are not going down easy."
