In A Forest*

Everyone was sitting by a fire staring at Qrow.

Qrow took a drink from his flask.

Qrow set his flask down and asked "Really? No questions?".

Naomi said "Of course we have questions. This is just... a lot to take in.".

Qrow sighed and said "Sure, of course.".

Ruby then said "So these... maidens... They're powerful fighters that don't need Dust to use magic.".

Qrow said "Yeah.".

Naomi then asked "And there are four of them?".

Qrow then said "Yup. Always.".

Pyrrha then said "It means that, whenever one of them dies, the power will transfer to a female that they care about.". 

Qrow then said "Whoever was in their thoughts last. Important distinction. Best option, it's someone we can trust. Regardless, their souls become combined, in a way.".

Pyrrha then said "And that's what you were trying to do to me.".

Qrow looked at Pyrrha and nodded then said "The previous Fall Maiden, Amber, had been attacked. She was young, inexperienced. And her assailant, who we now know as Cinder, somehow managed to steal some of her power, but not all of it. We were afraid that if we didn't do something, the rest would go to her as well.".

A silence befell everyone.

Ruby looked down and asked "That guy. Tyrian. Why was he after me?".

Qrow sighed and said "Well, you definitely painted a target on your back with what you did at Beacon. I told you having silver eyes is a rare trait. And the fact that you're someone that was able to use them seems to have upset some very powerful people. Not many people know about the silver eyes. But those that do aren't very happy that one has surfaced. That's why I've been keeping an eye on you. In order to make sure you were safe. All of you.". 

Ruby then asked "Well, then, why not just travel with us? It seems like that would've been way easier.".

Pyrrha said "He was using you as bait.".

Qrow looked down and said "Look, I wouldn't put it like that; it's... complicated.".

Naomi asked "What is the point to all of this? Why is all of this happening?".

Qrow sighed and "Not many people are super religious these days. This world's been around for a long time, long enough that people have created dozens of gods. But if you believe Ozpin, two of them are actually real. They were brothers. The older sibling, the god of light, found joy in creating forces of life. Meanwhile, the younger brother, the god of darkness, spent his time creating forces of destruction. As you can imagine, they both had pretty different ideas about how things should go. The older one would spend his days creating water, plants, wildlife. And at night, his brother would wake to see all the things that the elder had made and become disgusted. To counteract his brother's creations, the god of darkness brought drought, fire, famine, all that he could do to rid Remnant of life. But life always returned. So one night, the younger brother went and made something. Something that shared his innate desire to destroy anything and everything.".
