Six years has passed…

It was raining. The field was now covered in mud and grass. The forces of darkness and evil stood before me as I got on my trusty and mighty steed, a Robot dinosaur with laser shooting eyes, and unsheathed my totally awesome flaming sword of epic awesome before hearing the loud roars of monsters charging towards me. I let out a battle cry as I charged after then, about to do battle and then-

“Viri!” I rudely brought back to reality, my head laying on an open book as Grandma sat in front of me with an evident frown.

“Wha- huh?” I looked around, seeing that I was home, at the table doing some school work and not fighting the forces of darkness with a flaming sword and riding on a robot dinosaur. “What did I miss?” I asked. Grandma groaned at this before planting an entire stack of history books.

“Guess I know what you'll be doing this weekend.” She said before moving the stack towards me. “Reading all this.” She added.

“Aww…” I said with a bit of a pout. “But I did that last weekend.” it was true, I did read a lot of history books last weekend… I think one of the historic fields was the battle place in my dream now I think about it.

“I know… but now you're doing it again. You keep falling asleep in the middle of your lessons, so I have to punish you somehow.” She said to me before putting one more book on it. “And I found a new one for you to read, study and memorize.” She added. I frowned as I picked one of the books up and looked at it.

“Not this one.” I said to her, showing the book to her. “It’s burned into my head.” Grandma arched a brow at me.

“And what makes you say that?” Grandma asked as she took the book out of my hands. I then told her about my dream of fighting monsters, which was actually a historic battle between for forces, I just spiced it up with forces of darkness, robot laser shooting dino, and a flaming sword.

“It was so epic.” I gushed over my dream.

“Hmm… not accurate enough. All you got right was the battlefield and the enemy.” She said, putting the book back on the stack.

“Aww… I’ll have dreams of everything I read…” I grumbled which… didn’t actually sound that bad. “Okay…” I added before pulling down one of the books.

“If you want to avoid doing this, you have to actually pay attention.” Grandma said to me in a scolding tone.

“Sorry, grandma…” I apologize to her. I really tried to pay attention to her but I nod off after a point.

“I know this is boring you greatly but the alternative isn't any greater.” Grandma said to me before sighing while I looked down sadly. “I'm not mad Viri… just disappointed.” She said to me. I looked down at the table before grabbing one of the other books and flipped it open.

“Sorry grandma, I am listening but after a point, I start to nod off.” I told her before shaking my head.“B-but I'll do better! Please give me a second chance!” Grandma sighed at this, having gotten up as I spoke but sat back down.

“Alright… but if you fall asleep again, our lesson for today is over.” She warned me and I really didn't want it to end as despite being bored out of my mind by it, I like learning.

I guess the nap from before helped as I was able to stay awake for the rest of the lesson. As we finished I was finishing up with some note taking that I had to erase a doodle which made it look like a demon wolf was eating words.

“Hmm… am I boring you?” Grandma asked me suddenly. I looked up to see her standing over me.

“Ah! Umm, no. No, you’re not…” I said as I felt really bad now. “I-I’ve listened to you and… umm…” Grandma arched a brow at me before standing up from the table.

“Class is dismissed for the day.” She said to me before walking off. I stared wide eyed at her as she did this. I messed up on something! My eyes dart to the large stack of books beside me before I got up and started to try and carry them all to the couch so I could start reading them… I also learned that they were really heavy. When I set down the books and sat down with one, I couldn't help but feel guilty for the way I act in Grandma's lessons. I sighed as I felt my ears flatten atop my head before I heard the door open and saw Grandma come back into the living room with an odd looking box in hand. She looked at me and set the box down on the ground before opening it.

I stared at the box before seeing some flames came out of it before a small head peeked out and-

“PUPPY!” I yelled as a small puppy head peeked out, and it’s on fire… but still a puppy. It saw and yapped before pulling its head back into the box, only for it to hop out of it fully, tail waggling and panting excitedly. I happily smiled at the puppy in front of me… also that fact it’s on fire… that was… interesting but… “Aww, who’s an adorable puppy~” I cooed at it with a smile on my face.

“She's yours you know.” Grandma said to me before the puppy licked my face happily. I was surprised by two things, one was that the flames coming off of the puppy didn’t hurt me and two… Grandma was giving me a puppy?!

“I… I don’t understand… I thought you were upset with me.” I said to her as I held the puppy in my hands.

“I wasn't.” She simply said with a chuckle. “Despite your many… many instances of falling asleep during these sessions, you've shown to me that you're a bright young girl.” She said to me before quickly adding. “And for that, I decided to give you a gift.” She said. I blinked at her before putting the puppy down… and then gave grandma a big hug.

“Thank you grandma!!!” I said happily at her.

“Just know that caring for a pet is a big responsibility. You'll need to know how to feed her, bathe her and clean after her.” Grandma said to me. Just as she said the words ‘Clean after her’ I looked over and saw the puppy going to the bathroom on the stack of books… and setting them on fire.

“Ah! Noo!” I yelled as I rushed over which caused the puppy to run off. Now I had a fire dog running around and a stack of books that were also on fire… oh boy… Grandma watched this go on for a bit before she snapped her fingers, which caused me and my new puppy to float off the ground while the books were no longer on fire. “Wahahahaha…” I said as I was floating in mid-air and sorta spinning as the puppy was whimpering and doing a doggy paddle. I managed to swim up to her and grab her before Grandma snapped her fingers again, making me land on the couch. I blinked a few times as the puppy squirmed in my hold. “No, stop that… please?” I asked the puppy. Luckily she stopped squirming and gave me a lick on the cheek… it was both really cute and really freaky.

“Giving chase isn't something you do after she does a naughty thing.” Grandma said before walking up to the couch. “Anyway, have you come up with name?” She asked me.

“Umm… Amber.” I answered Grandma who blinked at this. “I like it.” I added as the puppy yipped at this. I smiled brightly at this before having the puppy face me. “No peeing inside, bad Amber, bad.” This caused the puppy to whine a bit and have her ears flatten on top of her head… just… too… cute!

“Alright then, I'll leave you two to bond during the weekend.” Grandma said before making the stack of books disappear. With that said, she gave my head a pat as she walked out of the living room and into the hallway.

I looked down and smiled at Amber and giggled a little at her licks before I heard the door open. I looked over and saw Mama, wearing some overalls, a shirt, and a bandana which she wore when working at Grandpa's forge. She looked over and smiled at me.

“Hey sweety, how was your… what is that?” Mama asked as she saw Amber. I smiled and showed Amber to her.

“A puppy! Grandma gave her to me!” I said happily as Amber yipped again.

“Oh… right… okay… excuse me as I just…” Mama left me as she went down the hallway that grandma went down. I looked down at Amber happily and played with her before hearing mama speak. “Why did you give Viri a puppy!?” She asked Grandma, causing me and Amber to get closer to listen in.

“Because she earned the reward, I don't see why you're so worked up because of it.” Grandma said to mama.

“Well… I never got a puppy when I was her age!!” Mama said before quickly asking. “Especially a fire one… why did you get her a flaming puppy?” I peaked in time to see Grandma shrug at this before she spoke.

“Sara, I still don't see why you're upset about this. You already have a pet of your own, Mister Cuddles.” Grandma said to mama. This made me blink… Mister Cuddles?

“Mister… Cuddles… is he still…” Mama tried to ask but grandma cut her off.

“Yes, he still around and well. Come and I'll show you.” Grandma said as the door to the valley appeared behind her. I watched the two of them go through the door and, out of curiosity, I followed with Amber behind me. I made sure to stay hidden and Amber knew this and somehow dimmed her flames while Grandma spoke. “Here you go dear, just give this a ring.” Grandma said to her, handing mama a tiny bell. Mama looked at the bell before giving it a ring. The sound of a ringing bell went out throughout the Valley. The response it got was a low, earth-shaking groan as thousands of birds took off flying over the ruins before a gigantic clawed hand gripped the top of it and pulled up a… a… a DRAGON!

The Gigantic dragon head swung around to face the two of them, it’s eyes larger than the two of them as Mama…

“MISTER CUDDLES!” Mama yelled happily as she ran forward and gave the head a hug. A loud earth shaking hum echoed the valley, the dragon pushing its head into Mama's arms. “Ohhh~ look at you! You got so big! And I’m sorry that I left you~” Mama said to the dragon who still nuzzled Mama a bit. There were loud thumps that shook the ground as this went on as I just… stared at the dragon.

“Not long after you left, he began to have growth spurts. After two years he was as big as your father, he kept on growing and growing so I left him out here so he could grow without damaging the house.” Grandma said as she gave the dragon's head a pet while Mama still hugged him. “He usually feeds himself but I feed him from time to time.” Grandma said only to quickly add. “So, still complaining about never having a puppy?” She asked, though upon saying this Mister Cuddles hummed curiously at this.

“Nope, I’m good.” Mama said happily as she hugged Mister Cuddles. If they said anything else or whatever I didn’t know as both Amber and I thought it was a good time to fall backwards and blackout from all this… mama has a large pet dragon… oh boy.

Four years later…

I was sitting outside on a hill, looking out into the Valley with my back to the tree and a book on my lap. It was one of grandpa’s old journals from pass missions he did and… they were amazing. Everything was here and in great detail too! I already read a number of his old journals and I just couldn’t get enough out of this. Beside me sleeping was Amber, lightly snoring as the grass around her was… a bit burnt from her flames but that’s normal for her when she sleeps. Found that out the hard way when I got her a nice bed just to find out she burns it the next day.

“Reading another one of my journals?” Grandpa's voice brought me out of my thoughts, startling me even while he was looming over beforehand. How did he sneak up on me!?

“Man how do you do that!” I asked, trying to calm myself after getting startled.

“I'm good in many things, stealth being one of them surprisingly enough.” He said to me before he sat down beside me. I shook my head at this with a chuckle.

“Also something I'm still wondering how you do…” I said with a chuckle before looking down at the journal. “You had really cool adventures in these journeys Grandpa.”

“I see you have interests in them.” Grandpa said with a chuckle before adding. “Perhaps the flames of a warrior yearns to be set ablaze within you.” He said to me. I looked up at him for a moment

“Wait… do you mean I have a shot at being a Huntress?!” I asked him.

“Everyone has a shot in being one, all you need is the passion of a warrior.” Grandma said, poking my chest as he said this with a chuckle. I blinked at this as I tried to imagine myself as a Huntress.

“That would be so cool!!” I said happily before looking at grandpa. “Do… do you think you can train me?” This got him to arch a brow.

“I don't see why not but if you really want to be the best Huntress around, ask your grandmother.” Grandpa said to me with a smile, which got me to arch a brow.

“Best Huntress? But… I thought you were the best Huntsman.” I asked him.

“Ah only second to your grandmother.” He was quick to answer back with a laugh. “I'm known to be practically unbeatable, but your Grandmother showed me better. Besting me in a one on one duel that ended with her victorious.” He said.

“Wow…” Was all I could say as I looked down at Grandpa's journal. “You think… I'll be a good huntress?” I asked him.

“Viri, there are no guarantees in life. If you want to be the best Huntress, work for it. Train your mind and body to be ready for anything against the Grimm.” He said to me, before chuckling and adding. “And let's not forget a weapon, a Huntress requires a weapon to be an extension of their body and soul.” He said before reaching on his other side and grabbing… my eyes widen when he pulled a wrapped weapon that I recognize.

“Is that… the sword I drew on the blueprints?!” I asked in shock as he placed the sword between us.

“I don't know, perhaps.” He said to me playfully before I took hold of it and began to unwrap it.

It was a longsword with a single edge and a curved weighted tip. The blade went down all the way and out which made a makeshift guard. Along the spine end was some pattern work which looked like a flaming four-tailed fox with four dark gems in it. The handle was long enough for either one or two handed with what looks like a long trigger. It was wrapped with some dark red leather and a small chain that connects to a small fox head.

“This is amazing!!” I said in awe at grandpa as I held it up with both hands. As I did I felt some sort of hum to it which was… ant.pleasant.

“There's a trigger by the hilt, give a press.” Grandpa said to me with a smile. I arched a brow at this before pulling the trigger. One of the gems lit up and flames shot out of the blade, making the blade glow red and flames licked the edge of it.

“Whoa! This is cool!” I said as I turned the sword, feeling the heat move around as it hummed more.

“Ha, I knew you'd like it.” Grandpa said with pride in his work before he stood up. “Enjoy your early birthday gift, kiddo.” He said to me before walking off through a door that appeared in front of him. I continued to mess around with my new sword… hehe, I have a sword!

I giggled at this as I stood up and swung it around a bit, slowly watching the flames when through the air. These actions caught the attention of Amber who now watched me do this.

“Hehe, looks cool huh girl?” I asked her with a smile as I held the sword in the air just as the gem went dark and the flames went out. “Oh… guess it’s on some sort of timer or something…” I muttered to myself before I did some practice swings in mid-air with a smile on my face. I kept doing this before one faster swing I did I slipped a bit and I let go of the sword. “Ah!” I yelped as I looked up to see… Grandma… holding the sword between two fingers.

“Obviously you haven't kept a good grip on it.” She said, quickly flipping the sword around and grabbing it by the hilt to which she was quick to perform some, well I'll be quite frank, badass moves before I suddenly found my neck mere inches away from the blade.

“Uh… haha… that was… really cool grandma… really…” I said, keeping my eyes at the blade… that was pointed at my neck. Grandma chuckled before pulling the sword back and handing it to me.

“I suppose this was Jericho's doing?” She asked me to which I nodded. She merely chuckled and shook her head. “Alright then, just be careful with it.” She said to me. I smiled as I took the sword into my own hands.

“Thanks grandma…” I said before I looked up at her. “Umm, Grandma can I ask you something?” I asked her. She arched a brow at me.

“Hmm, and what might that be?” She asked me back. I turned the blade downwards and held it there before speaking.

“I was talking to grandpa and he mention that you were a really really good huntress… was or still is but… do you think that… maybe you could, teach me to be a huntress?” I asked her. She was quiet at this, a little too quiet for my liking and it really began to get to me before Grandma spoke.

“If I do, there is no going back on this.” Grandma said to me, the biggest thing that it wasn't a no. I slowly smiled at her.

“Isn’t it always for huntsmen taking this job? No going back or…” I stopped when Grandma simply stared at me. “Never mind, I understand but I still want to do it.” Grandma smiled at this while Amber walked up to her and nuzzled up to her dress. Grandma returned the affection with a gentle pet before clapping her hands. As she did a pair of doors appeared, these doors didn’t look like the nice ones I’ve seen before, they were some kind of black iron and it feels like I was walking into a dungeon. The doors slowly opened to reveal a vast open space of… White empty void.

“Come on then, training starts now.” Grandma said as she walked through the opened doors. I watched her go inside the room before following inside with a smile on my face. As I did the doors closed and I was left in the room with grandma.

A few hours later…

I stood in the middle of the room, panting a bit after the training grandma put me through. It went from her making floating weapons to actual dummies to fight me and so on and so forth. I’ve gotten a few scrapes and cuts...and some stab wounds from different weapons but as I found out as soon as I get them they would heal over. Grandma told me that in this room, death doesn’t matter. Any wound I get would heal itself and stuff, so I didn’t worry about hurting myself.

Honestly, the whole time she was training me it was either her showing me how to fight or just me fighting weapons and dummies.

“That should conclude today's session.” Grandma said out loud, making the dummies vanish into nothingness before the door appeared. “Let's return home, I need to get started on dinner.” Grandma said as she walked by me.

“What? But grandma, I could still go a little longer.” I said to her. Really, I didn’t feel tired, at all. Sure I’m panting but other than that I’m really fine.

“Yes but would rather have a nice freshly cooked meal or microwaved dinner?” Grandma asked me, glancing back at me with an arched brow. I frowned at this but nodded, knowing that Grandma’s home cooking is way better than microwaved dinner. The door opened and grandma walked through it, stretching a little as I followed her out… right to the doorframe. As soon as stepped outside my leg turned into jelly and I fell face first into the ground… also OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

My whole body was aching, sore and just… ow. So much ow. “Uhh… grandma… I can’t move… also so much owww~!”

“And you're surprised? Sweetie, there's a reason why you felt like you could train for days on end.” Grandma said as she snapped her fingers and lifted me up from the ground. I groaned as my arms and legs dangled in the air.

“And… that was just a few hours…” I said to her with she smiled and nodded. “I don’t think… I’ll do a few days straight…”

“Viri, you'd be insane to think I'd allow you to do that.” Grandma said before adding. “But don't think I won't have you do so soon enough.” She said to me which made me groan a bit at the thought. Amber followed closely underneath me, looking up at me with clear amusement… Then she hopped onto my back and laid there as I floated behind Grandma.

“Hey! I'm no pillow!” I yelled, which then made me groan. “It hurts to even yell…” Amber snorted and snuggled up onto my back before I felt myself be lowered onto the couch.

“Oh cheer up, she's just having fun.” Grandma said to me with a little chuckle. “Come on Amber, time for nom nom.” Grandma said to Amber. With that the two of them headed out… leaving me here on the couch… alone. I groaned in discomfort due to how sore I was and soon decided to take a nap. As soon as my eyelids closed, I passed out.

Elsewhere, Third person

On Remnant, there's a Huntsman school named Beacon, one of four schools in the four kingdoms. The Headmaster of Beacon Ozpin was sitting at his desk, going through the entry letters. Normally he would do the ones for the next year but he also did the one for the next-next year.

“Hmm… this one is interesting… someone forged one…” Headmaster Ozpin said as he arched a brow at this. “Jona Arc… well, normally I would say no but…” The man put the letter in the accepted pile with a bit of a chuckle before going for another letter just as a buzz from his computer went off.

“Headmaster Ozpin, you have a visitor.” A female voice said through the computer. The Headmaster reached over and pressed a button to speak.

“Would you mind tell whoever is there that I'm not seeing anyone and have them reschedule for a later date.” Ozpin said before pulling away from the computer and picking up another letter and gave it a read.

“Umm, sir. The lady said she has come here to sign some students up for Beacon.” The lady explained which got Ozpin's attention. Normally they would send a letter of entry with their passed achievements and what schools they been in through. It's quite rare for them or some one comes in person. Again Ozpin would still turn them away but he was curious.

“Alright… send her up…” He paused before looking at the mug on his desk. “And bring up some coffee please.”

“Right away Headmaster.” the woman said. Ozpin put the letter down on the desk from someone named Cardin Winchester and waited for whoever is coming up. When the door opened up Ozpin saw it was a Faunus woman with silver hair and silver fox ears and tail. She wore a white dress as she entered his office.

“Headmaster Ozpin.” She greeted the man with a bow of her head.

“Hello, sorry for a bit of a mess. I was in the middle of something.” Ozpin clasped his hands over his desk before saying. “Now, what can I do for you miss, and do take a seat.”

“I've come to enroll two of my granddaughters here, I've brought the necessary papers and documents.” She said to the Headmaster before handing him two neatly done folders. Folders? An odd sight to see for the Headmaster as usually the information is given to him via computers. He took the folders and gave each of them a quick look through.

“Personally trained… normally one has to go through a combat school to have a better entry chance but, well there were some that didn't go to one.” The headmaster said before adding. “I'm guessing these two are coming in a later date? One of them… Viri, is a bit too young.”

“In two years, they'll arrive and attend in two years.” The woman said to the Headmaster, simply and informatively. Ozpin nodded as he looked at the folders. There was a lot missing here that left him wondering but since they were coming in two years meant there was some breathing room. With a little sticky note to write on he placed a one in each folder and put them on top of a pile.

“Well in two years I'll see them in Beacon's Halls.” Headmaster Ozpin said with a smile.

“I'm glad to hear that.” The woman said to her before she soon added. “With that done I will be taking my leave. If anything occurs, simply contact my number.” She said to him. Ozpin nodded at her before she got up to leave. As she left He looked at one of the folders again.

“Hmm… this'll be interesting.” He said to himself.

Author's Note

Viri get's a puppy, a puppy made out of fire, and her mom has a bet dragon. Why not. Also OZPIN KNOWS~!
