We finally landed at the front of the Academy and watched as the chariot flew off. We watched it go as we turned back to the school.

“I wonder what RB wished for?” Ruby asked out loud.

Indigo looked over before saying. “I mean, the guy said she could wish for anything, right? So chances are she wished for her Yang back.”

“If so, wouldn’t that mean there would be two Yangs?” Ruby asked.

“I don’t know, the Yang we know is Half-Dova, has twins, another kid on the way, and is married to Father. In truth, we don’t know how RB’s Yang is going to be like.” I explained. Weiss, Indigo, and Blake thought on this for a moment.

“I guess we can only wait and see.” Weiss said as she held onto Tak’s hand. I shrugged as we entered the school. We walked towards the library before seeing Father turning the corner.

“Hey!” I greeted him as Father saw us.

“Ah, it's good to see you made it back just fine.” He said as he walked up to me before briefly hugging me as a greeting. I returned the hug before he pulled away.

“Hey, where’s RB at?” Ruby asked as she looked around him. With a smile, Father motioned for us to follow him, and we did.

He lead us to RB’s room, the door slightly ajar, and I could hear RB talking to someone inside. There was some laughing as well as we listened.

“She sounds… happy.” Weiss said. We all nodded as Blake looked at Indigo.

“Do you think…” she didn't finish as Indigo nodded with a smirk before saying.

“Called it.” Was all he said. I smiled as we went to the door and knocked. After a few moments it open to… Yang. But not normal Yang. In front of us was a younger Yang, about seventeen years old.

“Yang… you're … so young.” Blake said with a look of surprise.

“And you have your arm back!” Weiss added.

“Err, why is your hair so short?” Ruby asked.
This Yang frowned at what Ruby said. It was true; Yang’s usual long blonde hair is now short. This Yang’s frown was kept before another Yang’s voice called out in the room.

“She has short hair because she just lost an arm wrestling match!” Yang called out with a laugh. Father chuckled at this as he walked in before closing the door behind him.

Everyone simply looked at the sight of the two Yang's. Though it was obvious who was who, the sight of two Yangs was something we definitely didn't think we'd see.

“Wow… It actually doesn't look half bad on you.” Indigo said, breaking the silence in the room. The other Yang scratched the back of her head as he said that.

“I guess it's alright…” she said before looking around. “My head feels lighter than before so… that's good?”

RB came up to her and gave her sister a big hug, making her Yang smile a bit. Father and I smiled, seeing the normally cold-hearted RB like this.

“So, Miss Xiao Long, are you accustoming well?” Father asked the younger Yang.

“I think so…” she said as she looked at all of us. “Kinda shaky still.”

“If it's too much to ask, but, you look younger than us…” Blake pointed out which the younger Yang groaned.

“Not this again.” She said as RB grins.

“Now I'm the older one!” She proclaimed, making the younger Yang roll her eyes. Father chuckled and shook his head.

“Well, just know, if you feel any discomfort or have any question at all, to let me know.” Father said before sitting next to his wife, kissing her as he sat down before speaking.

“Now how are you holding, my dear?” He asked, rubbing the large belly of his wife. This brought the Half Dovah Yang to giggle at her husband's affection.

“I'm fine, love, just a bit of the morning sickness that got me.” She said, revealing that it was morning sickness that prevented her from going to the duel. Ruby, my Ruby, went over to her sister and gave a hug after hearing that she wasn't severely ill.

“I'm really glad you’re okay.” Ruby said with relief in her tone. Yang smiled as she gave her sister a hug. I smiled at this and looked over at the other two to see.

“I'll beat you this time, Yang!” RB said with determination.

“Bring it!” Younger Yang proclaimed as the two of them were arm wrestling. We all smiled at this, seeing the two siblings reunited happily.

Father soon looked back at the two, his gaze finally landing on RB.

“Miss Branwen, I'm sorry to interrupt your game but there is still an important question left unanswered.” Father said, catching RB’s attention, which ultimately made her lose in her arm wrestling. The younger Yang cheered, making RB glare at her before looking at Father.

“And what's that?” RB asked.

“Now with your sister back, will you return to your world or will you remain here?” Father asked her. Everyone soon looked at RB in silence, waiting for an answer.

“O-Oh man… I don't know…” RB said.

“Is there a problem back home?” Younger Yang asked. “If it was me I would stay here since… well, I'm dead.”

“Not to see dad again?” RB asked. Her version of Yang frowned at this before RB continued. “But… if I go back, it's not in a good state to be in.”

“How bad is it?” Blake asked.

“Well, I'm wanted in two kingdoms, the rest of my team hates me and both Raven and Qrow are… well, they're not around. And Dad… he will miss me, but understands if I disappear. But the biggest thing is that the Grimm are running rampant there so…” RB looked around us. “In some places it's a living hell and… I don't want to leave dad there…” Father looked at her, closing his eyes before humming in thought.

“What are you thinking of, hun?” Our Yang asked as she looked at her husband with a raised brow. Soon enough he opened his eyes and looked at the two siblings.

“Do you two care for your father deeply?” Father asked the two of them.

I looked at Father questioningly. His wife kept silent as if she knew what he was going to do. My ears twitched and I quickly glanced at the door behind me, seeing Qo, Kaida and Strun poking their heads into the room.

“Is that some kind of joke?” Younger Yang asked. RB frowned at her before speaking.

“Of course we care for our father. He's our dad.” RB said.

Father nodded before smirking.

“Then I don't see why I can't simply bring him here.” Father said, looking at the two. RB and her sister looked at one another before Yang spoke.

“Sis, you said it yourself that back home is like hell. Maybe coming here is a fresh start for all of us.” the short-haired Yang said, suggesting that their own father should be brought here.

“Would he… like that?” RB asked. The younger Yang rolled her eyes at this.

“Having a fresh start with his two daughters... I bet he will. “ she explained. RB frowned a bit.

“I thought I was the older one…” RB grumbled, earning a laugh from all of us.

“So it is decided, then?” Father asked the two of them. The two of them looked at each other before nodding.

“Seems we're starting a new life here.” The short-haired Yang said.

Father nodded with a smile before his eyes shone brightly, blinding everyone in the room and earning a few startled yells from the children as they pulled their heads back out the door in time.

As the light dimmed we all saw a man sitting in a chair asleep. He had short blonde hair that’s graying out a bit and tanned skin. His clothes were a bit ripped up while his left arm was bandaged. He wore a brown vest with some cargo pants and boots. At closer inspection, we saw a number of scars and cuts on his arms and face. Don't know why, but at the moment, he was snoring while he slept.

“So that's where you got your snoring.” Father said to his wife with a chuckle. She frowned at him before hitting his shoulder, making the former laugh.

RB moved closer to her father and gave him a bit of a shake.

“Dad? Hey dad.” RB said trying to wake her father up. We watched as the man tossed and turned, indicating that he was having a nightmare, before suddenly waking up in a gasp. His eyes turned to RB as she kneeled by him.

“Ruby…? What are you… how did you...I-I can't believe you're here-” his gaze moved to the younger Yang as she sat where she was. His eyes widen at the sight. “Yang? But… if you're here… oh Oum did one of the Grimm find me and-”

“No, no, no, no! That's not what's going on.” RB explained. The man frowned at this before looking around and seeing the rest of us.

“Umm, what's going on?” He asked.

Indigo gave the man a friendly wave while Blake did the same. Tak gave him a bow as his greeting with Weiss following suit. Father and Yang, our Yang, simply smiled at him as he slowly scanned the room.

“Greeting Mister Xiao Long.” Greeted Father, breaking the silence in the room. The man looked at him, looked at Yang, looked at the other Yang, then did a double take before blinking.

“I… I must be dreaming still… There are two Yangs, and one of them has scales.” he said.

“Hey!” Yang, our Yang, yelled before frowning. “I like my scales…” She said with a pout. Father gently pulled her close before kissing her cheek.

“And so do I…” Father said in a loving whisper.

She smiled at this as RB and the younger Yang explained to their father what’s going on. He listened to them talk and nodded slowly.

“So… I’m not dead?” he asked.

“No, completely alive.” RB answered.

He nodded again and looked back at the younger Yang. He stood up, seeing his full height as he stood in front of the blonde. He pulled her into a hug and held her there. Yang slowly hugged her father as he then pulled RB in, as well. We all smiled as we moved out of the room, letting them have their moment.

“Well… things are going to be a little odd.” Weiss said as we closed the door. “There are now two Yangs wandering around.”

“Hey, I’m the better one of the two.” Yang snapped as she rubbed her belly and her tail moved around a bit. This made Father chuckle a little as he placed a hand over hers.

“Do not boast just yet, love.” Father said. Yang rolled her eyes at that but smiled anyway. “But know that to me you are better.”

It was then that Kaida and Strun made themselves known by running up to the two of them. Qo was too quick for me to react before she jumped on me, tackling me into a hug. I stumbled slightly before laughing a bit.

“Hey there, what you’ve been up to?” I asked my daughter as she hugged me.

She soon began telling me about her day with Ruby joining in later in the conversation. As Qo spoke, I had noticed Lilah talking with Blake and Indigo, making me wonder when she got there. Whatever Lilah said elicited a nod from both Indigo and Blake before they headed off with Lilah in tow. Weiss and Tak left saying they had to tutor Skyler again and said their goodbyes before leaving. It wasn't until Kaida and Strun let out a cute yawn simultaneously that we noticed how late it was getting. Father and Yang both left to take their kids to bed after wishing us a good night.

The three of us left headed back to my room to put Qo down to sleep as she was falling asleep in my arms. When we got there, we changed into our sleeping wear and climbed into bed. The two of us soon fell asleep and happily went into dreamland.

The next day came around and I was told that RB, Yang, and their father were going off somewhere to build a place for them to be. There was a lot of room for them at the school and they were going use them, but Taiyang, their dad, said it’s better to have a place of their own. Plus, it gives him something to do. This took RB and Yang away from hanging out a lot, but they were happy with what time they had.

As this happened, I saw Ruby stare at Tai as he’s passing by, making her look sad as he continued on. I asked her about it and I was told that she misses her own father. This seemed to be the same mood everyone other than Weiss was in, they all missed their families back in Remnant.

This literally came to a head when Yang, our Yang, literally said. “Why don’t we go see our families back in Remnant?”

Everyone was quick to look at her in confusion. Yang rolled her eyes and tapped the necklace around her neck.

“We have these to transport us over there with no issue. We will go there, say hi, ask how everything is and come back.” She soon turned to her right before smiling, seeing Kaida there before pulling her up to her lap. Strun did the same with Father.

“That’s… true, but it’s more the fact we’re going to see our parents which we only had visions about. Showing up married, about to be and have kids, and have some drastic changes would throw them for a loop.” Blake explained.

Sitting beside her was Indigo, focusing his attention on a book he was recommended to read. Father chuckled at Blake’s explanation before speaking.

“Nothing a little explaining can't overcome.” Father said, looking over to Blake and seeing Lilah sitting on her lap. It's so odd seeing Lilah like this, but it wasn't bad… just odd. Blake didn't seem to mind Lilah. I looked over at Ruby before saying.

“Do you want to go see your dad and tell him what’s up?” I asked, gesturing to the ring on her finger and Qo on her lap. Ruby simply smile at this.

“Yeah, I do. “ Ruby looked over at Yang. “Though, trying to explain her will be an issue.”

“Excuse me? What’s wrong with me that’s in need to explain?” Yang asked, thumping her tail behind her on the ground. Father smiled at her, wrapping his own tail around Yang's to prevent her from thumping it onto the ground.

“Your sister has a point, my dear.” He said as Yang blushed from having her tail ensnared by her husband’s. “Your father has only ever seen you as a human.”

“Okay, explaining that part might be...hard.” She said with a blush.

I soon heard the library doors open, signifying someone's entry. It was soon revealed to be Tak returning a few of the books he and Weiss borrowed for their tutoring session with Skyler.

“Hey, Tak.” I said, gaining his attention. He faced us and smiled before walking over to us.

“Hey, Viri.” He greeted with a little smile before asking. “Is anyone else here as well?”

His answer came from all of them speaking up, where Weiss reached out and took his hand.

“O-Oh, hey, Weiss.” He said, a little surprised. Weiss helped him find a chair, it just so happened to be the empty seat beside her.

“So it is settled?” Father asked, regarding our decision to go back to Remnant for visit.

Everyone looked at each other before nodding.

“It would be nice seeing my parents again for real.” Blake said before adding. “But wouldn’t they question that’s there’s another me that seems different?”

“When they ask, I will telepathically inform them of the events that led to your current situation.” Father said, earning Blake’s attention. “To put it simply, let me do the explaining and enjoy your time there.”

Tak looked confused as to what we were talking about but said nothing, thinking it'd be rude if he spoke up now.

“Okay… so are we all going to be together or splitting up to see our families?” Blake asked. Father looked at all of us, thinking to himself as he did.

“It is best to go as a group.” Father suggested to us. Yang nodded in agreement.

“Strength in numbers, right guys?” Yang asked everyone with a smirk.

They all laughed. I smiled as I reached down and held Ruby’s hand. She smiled as Weiss asked where they're going first.

“I say it would be our place first, I think.” Yang said as she hugged Fathers arm. “Do you mind that?”

“Not at all, my dear.” Father said with a shake of his head. This made Yang sigh in relief before smiling.

“Now, is this is the final decision?” He asked and was met with nods from everyone else.

Indigo looked up from his book in confusion just before the gems in the necklaces around Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang’s neck shone their respective colors and blinded everyone briefly. When I blinked to regain my sight, only opened me eyes to see the border of a gray forest. I looked behind me to see a small town just a short walk away.

“Hey! I know where we are!” Ruby said as she looked around. “This is Patch!”

“Yeah… we’re just a short walk away from home.” Yang said, earning a smile from Father.

Weiss and Blake looked at our surroundings, unfamiliar with the land. Indigo looked at the town with a curious glance.

“I've been here once or twice. If I remember correctly, it was for some Beowolf hunting.” Indigo said before chuckling to himself. “Nice place to raise a family or so I've heard.”

This earned him a questioning look from Blake.

“Come on! Let’s go!” Ruby said before heading out towards her home.

“Hey! You know I can’t run!” Yang yelled out, annoyed that she couldn’t really run. She grumbled a bit at this, envious of her sister's ability to run, but that all soon was changed when Father took hold of her hand as Kaida and Strun looked up at their mother.

“Let's go meet your grandfather, kids.” Father told them before they walked ahead of us.

I smiled before I looked back, seeing a dazed Tak shaking his head. Weiss looked at him and was about to ask but Tak was quick to say.

“I'm fine, just… not used to being… well, out like this.” Tak said before taking a deep breath just as Weiss walked up to him. “I just need help walking for now, I need to get used to this place.”

Weiss smiled at him as she brought him closer, hugging his arm.

“Does this help?” she asked him. Tak nodded, smiling with a blush on his face.

We all walked towards where Ruby ran off to, which she had to stop and wait for us to come. The trees started to brighten a bit as we walked. Soon, we came up to a two-story wooden house.

It gave me a good sense of home as we walked towards the place. As we did, the door opened and a small black and white dog hopped out of the house and barked a few times. It looked over at us before running over to Ruby.

“Zwei!” Ruby said happily as she kneeled down to pet the dog in question.

Zwei barked happily as a man walked out. He looked like Taiyang from before but without the scars and graying hair. He looked over at us and then at Ruby.

“Ruby? Is that you?” The man asked. Ruby smiled as she straightens.

“Hi dad!” Ruby greeted as she ran over to give him a hug. The man laughed as he hugged her back.

“Ruby, it’s so good to see you again! And you look… older. Odd, but still…” he stopped when he saw Yang walking up to him.

“Uhh… hey, dad…” she said with a smile as Tai stared at her. He was silent for a good minute before speaking.

“You left just… just a couple months ago… wh-what happened?” he asked her.

Yang was silent as she smiled nervously, her tail moving back and forth. Tai saw her tail move before looking right at Yang then at her belly.

“Did you eat a lot of junk food or…”

“Uhh, no, no junk food.” Yang answered with a blush as Taiyang stared at his daughter. He took one long look at Yang’s pregnant belly.

“Can someone explained to me why my oldest daughter is having a kid and never sent me something about that?!” He questioned with a freaked out expression.

No doubt a thousand questions running through his mind. Father stepped up and gave him a bow before saying.

“Greeting Mister Xiao Long. I know you may have many questions and I will be happy to answer them, but before we start, may we please enter.” Father said to the blonde man.
He looked at him then at Yang, unaware of the three kids behind Father. He soon nodded before stepping aside and letting us in. Me, Ruby, and Yang entered. Father soon went in with the kids behind him. Qo quickly ran up to me and Ruby, while Kaida and Strun made their way to their mother while looking at the many different photos around the living room. Weiss, Tak, Indigo, and Blake did the same, as Tai sat down on the couch and was about to say something before seeing the three kids. His look simply spoke that he had more questions now.

Seeing the expression on her father's face had made Yang even more nervous, she even wrapped her tail around Father and surprising him.

“Now then, we can begin your hailstorm of questions.” Father said before glancing at Yang, giving her a comforting smile.

“I have so many to ask but the big one is; Yang you’re pregnant. How, when, why?” Tai asked as he started at both Father and Yang.

“So… it’s not on the scales and tail?” Yang asked.

“I’m your dad. This takes precedence over that.” Taiyang explained.

Father looked at Yang, silently asking her if he should tell him or she would like to. Yang closed her eyes and took a deep breath, fidgeting with the ring in her finger.

“Dad… to keep things short… and well…” Yang open her eyes at Tai as she let her breath out. “The man beside me is my husband and we already have two kids and a third on the way and I came here to tell you and show my kids their grandpa.”

When she finished Tai stared at her as she said all that quickly.

“Umm, come again?” Tai asked. Father chuckled at Yang's quickness.

“Her words speak the truth. Your daughter and I are happily married with two children and a third one on its way.” Father said, placing a hand on Yang’s belly.

The latter blushed at this, earning ‘awws’ from Blake and Weiss at the loving sight. Taiyang simply stared at Yang before glancing over at Kaida and Strun.

“Two kids… plus one more… in four months… the times don’t line up.” Tai said as he scratches his head as he tried to figure it out. Father closed his eyes as he hummed, this brought Taiyang to a standstill as his eyes widened and his pupils dilated. After a few moments, Taiyang shook his head a bit before speaking. “Right… I think… I think I get the gist of it.”

“Grandpa!” both Kaida and Strun yelled happily as they ran over to him and gave him a hug. He simply smiled at them and laughed.

“So… you're okay?” Yang asked. Taiyang looked at his daughter and smiled.

“Yang, I just got called grandpa by two kids that are my grandchildren. I’m far than okay.” He said with a big smile.

Father smiled, seeing his two children excited about having met their grandfather on their mother's side. Weiss and Blake smiled, too. Indigo did, as well, but was barely noticeable.

“Alright, then, introduce yourselves to your grandfather.” Father said to both Kaida and Strun.

“Hi, I’m Kaida!” Kaida greeted.

“And I-I’m Strun.” Strun greeted after with a slight frown for his stutter. Tai smiled at the two and leaned forward.

“Hey, you two, I’m Taiyang, but Grandpa will do.” He greeted with a smile.

Qo looked at them before looking at me and Ruby.

“Go on, say hello.” I told her. She nodded as she stepped forward to Taiyang.

“H-Hello.” She greeted nervously, petting her own tail as she did.

“Hello there, what's your name?” Tai asked her.

Qo didn't say anything, maybe being too shy to speak. Father glanced at the two of us, motioning for us to help her.

“Umm, dad, this is Qo.” Ruby told him.

He chuckles before speaking.

“Let me guess, she's your daughter?” He said, surprising both me and Ruby. “I know you Ruby, and I can see some traits in Qo here that belongs to you.”

Ruby smiled at this before looking at me. Tai saw this before arching a brow. Tai looked at Qo before looking back at the both of us, then he repeated this twice before finally realization donned him.

“You two? How… how did that work?” Tai asked. Both me and Ruby stared at him before Ruby spoke.

“It's… complicated…” she answered.

Father looked at Taiyang and nodded, silently agreeing with Ruby. Qo tugged on Tai’s pant leg, gaining his attention.

“Umm, can I call you Grandpa?” Qo asked. Tai smiled at her before rubbing the top of her head.

“Of course you can.” He said with a smile.

Qo smiled brightly and joined the other two kids sitting in front of him. Father smiled at the sight and Yang’s tail wagged back forth happily.

“They've been excited to meet you for quite some time.” Father said to Taiyang as Father held onto Yang’s hand. The man looked at him and then at the three smiling kids.

“I bet they did.” Tai said with a smile.

It took a few minutes to introduce everyone to Ruby and Yang's father. For Tak, Tai looked down at his feet.

“Did you wipe your feet before coming in?” Tak nodded almost immediately before shifting in his seat a little nervous.

“Sorry if I made a mess.” Tak said apologetically.

Taiyang laughed a bit before saying, “It's fine. I'm just playing around.”

Tak smiled a bit as the rest of us chattered. We spent almost three hours sitting around, letting Yang and Ruby catch up with their father. Though, when he finally noticed Indigo, he revealed to us something that Yang would rather have left unknown to all of us.

It seems that during her time in Signal, Yang had acquired a magazine featuring a very shirtless and much younger Indigo posing with words ‘Top Ten Hottest Huntsmen’. Indigo laughed at this, saying that he did that having been promised five hundred lien per photo. Blake blushed while Lilah, who sat on her lap, covered her eyes with a blush and Blake simply couldn't look away from the photo, but glanced at Indigo beside her, before passing the magazine to the rest of us. Yang let out an embarrassed whine as she covered her blushing face. Father chuckled at his wife’s behavior before pulling her closer to him. Taiyang saw this and watched as Father whispered lovingly into Yang’s ears, making the latter giggle a little before wrapping her tail around Father’s.

“Just in case you're wondering, Yang, your room is still the same as when you left. “ Tai leaned back on the couch before adding. “Exactly the same way.”

With a blush, Yang rolled her eyes, muttering something about torching her room later. Father laughed a little before looking at Taiyang.

“It's been a pleasure finally meeting you, Taiyang, but I'm afraid we have to go. You see, they're here to visit their families, having been away for two years have given them a sense of homesickness.” Father explained as he gestured to Weiss and Blake, standing up from his seat before helping Yang up.

This elicited a whine from the kids, including Qo after hearing what Father said. Taiyang turned to them, a sad expression donning him as a thought came to mind.

“Will I ever get to see them again?” Tai asked us, mostly to Father. The latter smiled and nodded, bringing hope to Taiyang.

“W-wait, really? How?” He asked him.

Father smirked before raising his hand, revealing an odd key. The key had turning gears and decorative wings, the design of the key seemed a little steam punkish.

“If at any point you wish to visit, use this key on any door.” Father said and to demonstrate, he walked up to front door and opened it, revealing the scenery outside before closing it. He then used the key on the lock, causing it to shine dimly before he opened the door, revealing the library back at Forever Free. A few of the passing students stopped at the sight of Father before shaking their heads and moving on. Father soon closed the door.

“To return back, simply to do the same.” He said before opening the door, once again showing the outside scenery just as Zwei ran into the house barking happily before jumping onto the empty space beside Yang.

Tai stared at the door before looking at the key and shaking his head.

“Not going to question it.” he said as she pocket the key.

At this point Ruby gasped.

“I almost forgot!” she said before zooming off through the doorway. We all stared at where she went before I spoke.

“Where did she go off to?” I asked.

Yang and her father looked at each other before Tai answered. “Something personal.”

I looked back at the door as I saw the pedals disappear into the trees.

“So… we wait then?” I asked.

Taiyang nodded in silence, his happy mood having been replaced with one of sadness. Qo looked panicked, having just seen Ruby run out the door with blurring speed. I went over and picked her up.

“Ruby is busy with something, we’ll wait for her to come back.” I said with a little smile.

Qo looked at me before looking back outside and, after a minute or two, she nodded. And we did, we waited for Ruby to return and it felt like hours had gone by. During our wait, Blake and Indigo took Lilah to see the town while Tak and Weiss sat outside. The latter imitating Tak’s position as he meditated. Strun and Kaida had fallen asleep on their parent's laps. Kaida on Father's lap and Strun on Yang’s lap. Qo had eventually warmed up Zwei and the little dog had gotten Qo out of sadness. Sooner or later, Ruby did come back, smiling like normal.

“Sorry about that! I just… needed to do something important.” Ruby explained.

I looked up at her and noticed that she had red eyes. “You okay?” I asked her.

“Huh? Okay, yeah… just… it was emotional, but I’m done now.” she said with a smile.

I looked at her a bit worried but nodded. Father soon stood up with Kaida in his arms before taking Strun as well, allowing Yang to stand up as a result.

“Shall we get going then?” Father asked the two of us, the question mostly aiming towards Ruby.

Ruby nodded at him as I spoke. “Yeah, we’re ready.”

With a nod and a flash, Indigo and Blake were back with wide eyes and a frightened Lilah. They shook their heads when they saw us, while Tak and Weiss came back into the house.

“Now, then, where to next?” Father asked as both Blake and Weiss’s gems shone.

Blake was soon nervous beyond belief before looking at Weiss.

“We'll go visit my sister.” Weiss soon said, eliciting a sigh of relief from Blake as her gem stopped glowing.

Tak looked at her with a curious brow before saying with a low voice. “I didn't know you had a sister.”

“A sister and brother, but… we’re going to see my sister.” Weiss frowned before adding. “If things go well, we’ll never see any more of my family.”

Tak looked as if he wanted to question why, but knew that it wasn't a topic she was willing to share with him just yet. Indigo frowned at the mention of Winter but simply sighed and shook his head.

“Then it is settled. To Atlas we go.” Father said as he opened front door slammed shut, waking up both children in his arms as a result.

The door opened again to reveal a drastic change in scenery. From where we stood we could see some sort of office through the door. Father, after placing Kaida and Strun down, was the first to walk through before Yang followed suit with her kids in tow. Blake and Indigo soon went through, as well, with Lilah following behind them. Tak was about to go through but stopped and faced Weiss. The latter took a deep breath before walking up to Tak and stepping through to the other side. With Qo’s hand in mine, me and Ruby headed through, as well, while Taiyang gave his final goodbye.

When we walked through, we were immediately greeted by two armed soldiers. I blinked at this before speaking up.

“This… isn’t the warm welcome I was thinking.”
