chap 7) ozpins speech

"Soo how's your day?"

Looking at Kiana, Yang still had a slight feeling of complication in her heart. Although it was already clarified that Kiana was not Summer Rose, Yang could not help but still slightly conflicted when looking at her.

Seeing how Yang was acting, Kiana knew what she was thinking about and laughed.

"Hahaha Yang dont think too much about it. You'll get used to it after some time. But yah first day was good i found 2 friends."

"Hahaha that's nice."

Hearing how easily Kiana was able to deduce her thoughts, Yang blushed while using her right hand to rub her head, laughing it off.

Since their first meeting, both Kiana and Yang grew in friendship and Kiana started being less cold and learnt to be more warm to the others. This was a considerable change compared to her past as when she was younger, only spend most of her time with her father after her death. This resulted in her being very cold to the outside as if she had no emotions.

Just as the two were starting to chat, they suddenly heard someone on the mike. It was Ozpin giving a speech.

"i'll, make this brief.

You have travelled here today in search of knowledge. to hone your craft and aquire new skills and when you have finished you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people.

But i look amongst you all i see is wasted energy, in need of purp9se, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this but your time at school will prove that knowledge, can only carry you so far.

It is up to you to take the first step."

upon finishing his speech, Ozpin turned to walk away and in his place, was Glynda.

"You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tommorow your initiation begins.

Be ready, you are dismissed."

........Time skip to nightime.....

At this time, it was nearly pass 11 in the night and many were gatting ready to sleep.

Both males and females had to sleep with one another, becoming an issue to many as they had yet to sleep with their opposite sex. Thus after much discussion between the boys and girls, it was agreed that the boys would sleep o the right side while the girls would sleep on the left.

For Kiana though, she was not in the ballroom with her friends, instead she was outside.

Standing on a tree branch, Kiana looked to the night sky. Staring at the broken moon and starry skies filled with stars.

'Beautiful,

To Kiana, whenever she saw the night sky, she would feel at ease. Her heart would be free of worries and she herself in peace. She had seen many skies before through her travels with her father. Some had red skies, some were dark blue and some were beautiful with multitudes of colors. But to her, she always felt at home whenever she saw the skies of remnent.

'A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT TO BEHOLD.......'

"Yes it is"

'IN THE PAST I TOO WOULD LOOK TO THE NIGHT SKIES OF MY WORLD, RELAXING UNDER THE MOONLIGHT. COMPARED TO THESE SKIES, NOTHING BEATS THE NIGHT SKIES OF OUR HOME. IT REMINDS US OF WHO WE ARE.'

"You have told me this many times and i will always say this, it is a matter of origins. The skies of our home will always be the favourites in our hearts."

'YES IT IS... YES IT IS'

The pair watched the night skies, both with diffrent feelings. One felt peaceful and at ease, while the other felt regret.

After an hour at staring the night sky, Kiana decided that it was time to return to the ballroom.

Upon entry to the ballroom, she was hugged from behind. Looking back, she saw Yang wearing long pants and a singlet.

"Ha ha ha finally found you Kiana. Besides where were you?"

Seeing that it was Yang, Kiana could not help but chuckle and respond saying.

"Well i was taking a nightime stroll. Dont worry too much about it, where are we sleeping?"

Hearing this, Yang hastily released her bear hug and bought Kiana by the hand to a spot nearer to the ballrooms grand stairway. There Kiana saw a decently wide spot that no one took, on it was their belongings.

Without further ado, Kiana immediately took out her favourite futon and spread it out in the empty spot. before taking out her pillows and blanket.

Lying on the futon Kiana bought with her, Kiana took out her scroll and started to text her dad about her day.

Seeing this, Yang could not help but ask Kiana about the absurdity of her bringing her futon with her.

"Kiana why do you have a futon and where in gods name was it packed?"

This was to be expected as the futon Kiana had bought out, had the dimensions of a queen size bed. Not only that but her blanket and pillows were also large as heck.

"Well i could not sleep without my futon so my dad gave me a spacial ring to hold most of my things. The bag i carry along is just the basic needs.

Hearing this, Yang had her interest piqued and could not help but ask again.

"Wait spacial ring whats that?"

Just as Kiana was about to show and explain, Yang lundged forward and dove into Kianas futon snuggling in it saying.

"You can tell me as i snuggle in your futon hell this is one comfy futon. I can get addicted sleeping in it."

In responce, Kiana rolled her eyes while thinking.

'Of course the futon would be addictive to sleep in. Its made with drunken core silkworm silk for its exterior while the core is made from the fur of a hyperion void tiger. The bed literally causes you to sink into it and wraps you up in its soft outer layer.'

But to Kiana, she dissaproved anyone else but her sleeping in her futon as it was a treasured gift from her dad during her 10th birthday. And without much thought, she kept trying to push Yang off.

"NO THIS IS MY TREASURED BED!!!"

They battled for 10 minutes until Yang finally gave up dejectedly and slept on her sleeping mat.

..........Next morning......
