Fall/Deception Redirection

Sans P.O.V

Ozpin had called me into coming to him. I admit right there, I was rather confused st why he wanted me right now, but I assume that whatever it is, it must be rather important to him now. As I went up the elevator, I encountered Ozpin, Who is siting at his desk.

"Well, it has actually become no surprise that they've chosen you and Pyhrra to move on to the final round of the tournament. Both of your performances was rather...exemplary."

I shrugged and grinned slightly.

"Well...my reputation proceeds me, especially when the females are there what's onto me now."

Ozpin chuckled a bit, before he composed himself once again. He than leaned against the column, with his arms crossed.

"Personally, I actually think it is the other way around."

I looked and see Qrow here, and activated my eye to him, where he flinched and raised his hands up.

"Why are you here, Qrow?"

He than spoke out, quietly.

"Easy, Kid. It has been a rather dire situation that Ozpin had to call me."

I growled at Qrow, but I drop it for now. I than turned to Ozpin, as he is drinking coffee.

"Dire situation my face, Qrow. So...What is this about, Professor Ozpin? And it better be a good reason here."

I spoke, as a sat right in front of Ozpin, who looks at me calmly.

"Tell me something, Mr.Gaster, What is your favored Fairy Tale?"

I closed my eyes, as I remembered about dad telling me of 2 Fairy Tales. One of the Maidens. The other...rather something very private. I opened my eyes and spoke out to him.

"My favorite ones are the maidens, the Story of the Seasons."

He than leans to me, and looks at me sternly.

"And what about the story of the Seasons, Sans Gaster?"

I looked down, I do know if the Seasons Story.

"I remember...my father use to tell me stories about it for many years. It has been locked up in my memories, and it's kept. It is about a man that has been locked inside of his house, refusing to go out in the outside world, when there are 4 maidens that came to him. The first Maiden, which is of the Winter, understands his reclusive nature and urges him to use his time in solitude to reflect and meditate. The second, which is of the Spring, brings him fruits and flowers, tending to his crops and revitalizing his garden. The third one, which represents the Summer, warms the man's heart, convincing him to step outside and embrace the world around him. And the fourth and final sister, which is of the Fall, begs him to look at all that he has, and be thankful."

I always remembered that story, and is one of my most favorite ones I've heard. Of course, I know that it is more than just a simple story. One of my girlfriends, Amber, is the Fall Maiden, and the powers that she has...is real. I paused for a bit, before I now continued on.

"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, until the end of days."

Ozpin than looked at me with intrigue, before speaking out to me.

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

I was confused. What did the professor mean by that the story has been around since he'a a child? Is the professor an immortal being of some kind?

"What do you mean by, around since you were...GHHHH!!"
