A short intermission ensued following the Faunus’s match, not only to allow the audience a brake before the final’s but also to allow the medic team to restore Neyah’s Aura before the grand finals match. Eventually though, the announcer came back on the mic to announce the final match of the official Summer Tournament, “Ladies and Gentlemen, Human and Faunus, it is my honor to being to you the Grand Finals of the Summer Tournament! It has truly been a wild ride thus far and I think I can speak for everyone when I say we have yet to see such exciting matches take place in this event in all these years of its inclusion. That is to say, these two women, these two incredibly powerful women, these two legendary future Huntresses are truly the tip of the top, the best of the best that this years freshman have to offer! They may even be the absolute best students we have ever seen enter into this tournament, ever in Beacon’s history!” The crowd erupted in shouts and praises, cheering for each of the twins that were about to appear and battle before them. “Assigned B-Rank for absolutely no reason, climbing there way, no flying their way, through pools and climbing their way through the Summer Tournament this pair of tailed twins have had the greatest showing of strength and resilience ever seen at Beacon! These two gorgeous, strong, powerful Panther Faunus Twins need no introduction, but I’ll be damned if I didn’t give them one anyway! Coming to the stage are the two most powerful Faunus Twins I have ever given witness to, two individuals with a knack for making the impossible possible, two women who have the strength to turn this world upside down! They are the most impressive and most promising students of this upcoming generation of Huntsman! You know them, you love them, and you damn sure wouldn’t want to fight them, give a warm welcome to you Grand Finalists, The Wild Huntress and The Ice Queen, the Panthera Panther Faunus twins, NIEVA AND NEYAH PANTHERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” The crowd erupted in an ear shattering roar of cheers for both of the women, welcoming them in exuberant fashion, and for the first time even the lover’s voices was drowned out by the crowds praise.

Once Nix and Neyah stepped out of the tunnel and into the light, just seeing the pair brought an earth shacking roar out of the guests, and as the two stepped onto the stage it was clear that they were by far the favorites out of everyone in the Tournament. Everyone loves a good underdog story, and it seemed that the twins represented that in outstanding fashion to the crowd, and none of them would stop for a single moment until their throats were screamed completely raw. Once the Faunus duo reached the center stage they gave one another a quick hug in pride, happy to see that they both had mad it as far as they did before separate and walking to their designated spots. The Faunus twin’s hugging made the crowd erupt in a loud, bellowing awe that allowed the stadium to quiet down enough for the Announcer to take control and begin the match. “This upcoming match as it is the Grand Finals will have a slightly different set of rules than the former rounds of the tournament, the new ruleset is simple! There will be no Grimm, no biomes, no movement before the bell, and because of this the Biomes have been converted into usable stage for the twins to battle in! The rules of victory remain the same, ring out, knocking your opponent off the arena, and Aura depletion, bringing your opponent’s Aura down into the red! Now, Panthera Twins, are you ready!”

“Yeah/Yes!”

“Then, let the Grand Finals begin!” Neyah waited in attack mode with her spear at the ready and Nix did the same but with her dagger, and the instant they heard the DING reverberate through the stadium, Neyah faked forward and leaped back, converting her spear into a bow and rapidly forming 5 arrows in its string, shooting the speeding arrows across the battlefield aimed at her sister. As they approached, Neyah was able to manipulate the arrows into swerving in mid-air, having the spread-out fan of Aura weapons converge on her sister’s position. Nix stood her ground, deflecting the middle two with her dagger and dashing in on Neyah, and as the other three arrows flew harmlessly by her, she was able to quickly close the distance between her sister and herself. As her sister approached, Neyah turned her bow back into its dual spear counterpart and free formed a large dagger in front of her, kicking it at Nix while she sprinted at her. Nix’s momentum stopped for a moment as the dagger flew at her, swinging wildly as it attempted to tag her. Nix managed to fend off the weapon quickly, watching as it shimmered into non-existence while Neyah dashed in with her double-edged spear. Nix was immediately met with a powerful stab that she was forced to block with her dagger, shoving her back a few feet as her sister swiftly followed up with another strike.

Nix preemptively rolled left, dodging her sister’s attack almost before she even began doing the motion, and as she recovered, she immediately slashed vertically with her glowing dagger, sending the projectile blade at her sister who swiftly blocked the incoming ice with ease. Now in close range, Nix showed immense fitness in keeping Neyah on her toes, expertly combating her spear attacks with pre-emptive dodges and reads while at the same time countering Neyah’s strikes with her own bladed ones. However, every attack that Nix did was met with an equally as preemptive counter from her sister, giving her an opportunity to strike yet again in a different way that was always met with another preemptive dodge, parry, or counter. Even as they speedily attack one another back and forth with incredible precision, speed, and power, neither of them was able to land any solid hits on one another, in fact the only time they managed to land a hit at all was if they did so purposefully to get an opening. Their Aura’s and energy remained high and eventually it became clear to even the audience that the twins were not only completely equally matched, but also knew each other way to well for either of them to get a one up on one another. But what everyone and even (Y/N) was wondering was why Nix didn’t just use her Bell to lower Neyah’s stats to get the upper hand, and he would learn later that it was simply impossible for Nix to even remotely think of her sister as an enemy, so if she rang the bell she’d end up boosting her and her sister’s stats which wouldn’t change anything except maybe giving Neyah a slight edge because of her Semblance buff and wasting her own Aura.

The match went on for quite a while and the entire time the duo was at a complete stale mate, neither one of them getting the upper hand in close combat even after Neyah suddenly split her spear and got deep into Nix’s guard. Eventually both Nix and Neyah knew that this was going to go on way to long and they suddenly stopped swinging at each other, putting their weapons away, and started discussing something in the center of the stage. “This is takin too fuckin long!”

“I know sis, and in addition to that this may end in a draw as well so neither of us may go on to face Pyrrha.”

“Clearly, we can’t keep doin this shit, but what else can we do? Play rock paper scissors for it?”

Nix thought about it for a moment before her eyes lit up and she said, “that’s it!”

Neyah looked questioningly at her twin, “you wanna play rock paper scissors for it?”

“No not rock paper scissors, do you remember the training game we used to play as kids? I think we called it Priestess Warrior.”

“Yeah, I remember, but it was called Warrior Priestess. Do you wanna play that to decide who wins?”

“It was definitely called Priestess Warrior, but yes we can play that to determine the winner and therefore who will go up against Pyrrha” Nix said as she pulled the dagger from her hip and twirled it in her hand for a moment. “Of course, we’ll need to change the distance a little bit between us but everything else should work fine.”

“Alright then, prepare to get your ass kicked!” Neyah said as she created a white Aura dagger reminiscent of the one, she made earlier, but as she was walking away from her sister she suddenly stopped and turned to her siblings retreating form, “wait! Can I use spears now?”

Nix stopped as she reached a reasonable distance between the two of them, “no, you know you can’t use spears, that’s cheating” she shouted across the field.

“Why not, we’re older now!”

“You know that spears are stronger and more durable than Lady Of The Snow’s dagger slashes, it’s just not a fair comparison. Now, stop complaining and get ready” Nix said as she got into a sword swinging stance with her Dagger high to the sky as she stared her sister down.

Neyah had the white Aura dagger in her hand and was poised to throw it while she mumbled, “I’m not complaining your complaining, stupid fuckin rules” she said as she locked in on the position. “Aight I’m ready! one” she thought as she began the mental count down.

“two”

“three/three” In that instant Nix slashed her dagger down in an overhead motion, sending a icy slash of Blue soaring across the stage at her sister and at the exact same time Neyah launched her dagger, throwing it as hard and fast as she could at Nix, the two Aura creations clashed roughly in the middle of the duo, pushing harshly against one another until Nix’s slash suddenly shattered under the pressure, leaving Neyah’s Aura dagger to soar through the air until it eventually dissipated.

“Round one is my win!”

“It’s best of five sister, I’d recommend you calm down a bit before you lose all of the following rounds” Nix said as she reset her position with her dagger in the sky.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever” Neyah responded as the next dagger was created in her palm and she prepped to throw it. The two of them stared each other down for a few seconds until they both launched their attacks at the same time, this time Nix’s slash instantly forced Neyah’s dagger to dissipate, allowing her projectile to shrink into non-existence as it traveled further towards Neyah. “Shit! Hurry up and ready up!”

“I am sister” Nix said with a slight chuckle. The next round went much the same, with Neyah’s dagger this time lasting a bit longer as the two clashed between them before dissipating. However, the next two rounds went it Neyah’s favor as she enforced her daggers enough to last in a pitched battle against Nix’s icy slashes, and once the winner was decided they hugged out, and Nix simply hopped off the stage and took her ring out. The audience was extremely confused and so were the broadcasters, but after a long moment of silence the announcer finally spoke up and lightly explained everything that they had just witnessed, and even got a rough, awkward clap out of the audience.

However, after taking a moment to allow the bit of Aura that Neyah lost to be recovered, the announcer gave an exuberant, hyper announcement to bring Pyrrha to the stage, bringing the excitement for the final match extraordinarily high, not as high as the introduction of the Panthera twins, but higher than any of the other previous matches. Once Neyah and Pyrrha stepped out onto the stage, everyone realized that the Faunus woman was clearly lacking something extremely important, her spear. Instead of using her usual weapons, Neyah formed her ‘Purposeful Brightness’ out of her Aura and chose to use it during the match to the rest of the Audience’s confusion. The two of them stood across from one another in the same manner as the rest of the matches, however the stage area that was usually set for the Biomes was lowered and the central stage area became the only section of the stage that was allowed to be fought on, making the stage much smaller than usual. Once the broadcaster confirmed that the two of them were ready, the duo stared each other down, weapons gripped in their hands, patiently waiting for the bell to ding. The stadium’s crowd fell completely silent and the tension in the air grew to a new high as the audience awaited the sound that would begin the final match of The Summer Tournament.

DING

………………….

“Shields are too damn strong” Neyah mumbled as the large group walked back into (Y/N)’s temporary room after being out all-night celebrating. “This medal doesn’t mean shit!” The Panthera Faunus launched her shining golden medal across the room, watching as it crashed against the wall before falling heavily to the ground with a loud thud. She then leaped onto the bed, landing face down into a pillow, and going fully limp as if she instantly passed out on the bed.

The rest of the lovers, plus Yang, gradually funneled into the room with Pyrrha sitting at the edge of the bed and placing her hand softly on Neyah’s back, gently comforting her with touch. “You did incredibly well Neyah, in fact I have never had such a close match with someone before. I am not saying that you should be satisfied with your placing, but I think that you are undervaluing the greatness of your performance as a whole. I am very proud of how hard you pushed me in today’s match, and I think that you should take pride in the accomplishments that you were able to achieve during the tournament, including your medal” she said as she lifted the gold object from the ground and handed the first-place medal back to its owner.

Neyah took a moment to sulk a bit more before she turned over on her back and allowed Pura to hand her award back to her, “I guess so” she mumbled as she played with the medal in her hands for a moment. “But I’m only taking it cause you said you were proud, not because I like this shitty second-first place trophy.”

“Whatever makes you feel better” the red head said as she continued petting her sister lover’s muscular stomach.

Once Neyah heard those words, a mischievous grin found it’s way across her lips, “hey Pura, you know what would make me feel way better?”

The champion looked curiously at the woman, “what?”

“A kiss! Gimme a kiss, on the lips, not the cheek” the Faunus said as she exaggeratedly puckered up her lips in preparation for the kiss. Pura’s face immediately went bright red as a blush shot through her cheeks and heated the tips of her ears.

For a moment the champion couldn’t really find the words to speak and instead she made a bunch of adorable sounds as she tried to find the words to say, but after calming down slightly she managed to sputter out, “uhm, uh, ok sis. If it’ll make you f-feel better.” The red-haired woman slowly bent over Neyah’s lying body, nervously bring her lips to the Faunus’s in a quick chaste kiss that left Pyrrha even redder than she was before.

“Awe Pura, your too fuckin cute!” Neyah then quickly sat up, wrapping her arms around the tall woman’s chest and pulled her into a hug and laying the both of them back on the large bed to cuddle. The rest of the lover’s went about their own business, with those who had matches that day, minus Yang and Ruby, choosing to take showers and get into more comfortable clothes before they settled down for rest. Nix and the other twins joined in on the cuddle session between Pyrrha and Neyah, choosing not to be left out as they piled up on one another on the bed. Willow, Glynda, and Scarlet took to the wall to talk about whatever they were talking about, something about the functionality of Beacon in grand scheme of the world powers, and Blake, Lilith, Byakko, and Winter were discussing the diversity of Semblance ability’s and other person specific battle skills that greatly affected person on person conflict. At the same time, Ruby and Yang were practically glued to (Y/N) as the two of them began telling him more about their lives up until the point they met him and explaining a lot of what happened as they were growing up. Once (Y/N) walked into the room, he sat in the one free chair with Neo on his right thigh and Ruby on the other, much to a teasing Yang’s excitement. However, they soon continued the conversation they were having before, and (Y/N) was able to hear the story of how they met their Uncle Qrow the first time from a different perspective and in far more detail than before.

“Damn, it sounds like the both of you have been through a lot,” (Y/N) said as he stroked Ruby’s hair, “I hope everything get’s resolved nicely for the two of you. If there is anything that I can do to help you out, you know that you can come to me for anything you need, I’ll do anything in my power to help yall out.”

Yang’s cheeks rosed up slightly and she turned her head away from the man she was speaking to, “it’s not that serious, besides you’ve already helped out more than enough so don’t worry about it” she said blushing slightly. “But, if anything ever comes up, you’re the first one I’m comin to, so you better be ready” she mumbled as she landed a softy punch on (Y/N)’a forehead.

“I’m always ready” he responded as he chuckled a bit. At the same time, Ruby seemed to be deep in thought and after a moment of silence a lightbulb suddenly went off in Ruby’s head.

“Oh yeah that’s what I was gonna ask! (Y/N), what’s your Semblance? I mean, what is your actual Semblance? Wait, no not that either. How do I ask this question? Uhm, do you have more than one Semblance, or maybe how can you teleport and make clones and store things in your body and make weapons out of nothing and tell everyone’s strength without knowing them and do all the other super cool stuff you can do? Yeah that, how do you do all the super cool stuff that you can do?” Ruby asking that question suddenly got everyone else’s attention in the room, with Glynda quickly following up after her with a interesting comment.

“My love, we’ve all been wondering that same question probably since the day we met you, at least I definitely was. It is very clear to everyone that you aren’t exactly ‘normal’ and I mean that in the best way possible” the older woman spoke as she adjusted her glasses slightly.

Blake then followed after Glynda’s statement with, “I agree with Glynda as well, it is kinda weird the multitude of different things that you seem to do casually, and after talking with Nix, Neyah, and the other girls and learning about how they met you, it’s really anything but normal. On top of that, Nix and Neyah told me about how you all met and to me it sounded like you had severe amnesia and didn’t know at all where you were, how you got there, and seemed completely oblivious about the world around. Neyah said that she knew for sure that you weren’t lying, but that’s extremely hard to believe considering all the things that you’ve been doing while you were in Vale.”

Scarlet then perked up and said, “Blake has a point hon. I’ve heard the amnesia story as well, but none of that really adds up since, according to my understanding of the timeline, the night you arrived in Vale was the same night that you put out this calling card in all of the Dust shops,” she began as pulled a black calling card from her bra, “putting into motion the plan that led to literally everything. It’s impossible to believe that you, with no knowledge of anything at all, not even knowing what a Faunus was, was able to orchestrate and execute a plan of that caliber on such a short notice. If I didn’t know you personally, I’d think it incredibly suspicious, deceptive even.”

Amongst all the questioning, all (Y/N) wondered was, “why do you still have that card with you?”

“I keep it as a memento of the day my life changed for the better, stop trying to change the subject Honey” Scarlet swiftly responded, putting the card back in her chest for safe keeping. “I’m not saying that you are a liar or anything of the sort of Hon, I’m just confused about literally everything when it comes to you. I love you dearly, more than anyone else in the universe, but thinking about who you truly are gives me the worse headache in the universe as well.”

Miltia and Melanie then hopped up from laying down on the bed and Melanie began with, “Like, I had no idea about the whole like, amnesia thing, but now that you mention it, like, it’s a bit weird that he knew Mother so well” the icy twin said as she placed her thumb to her chin in a thinking posture,

“Yeah, now that you mention it Mel, it was kinda weird that Bro knew about the spy’s in the academy, and Mothers plans for Vale, and it kinda even sounded like you knew that Mother didn’t like Bitchwick. At first, I thought you knew because me and Mel said that we didn’t have any allegiance with him, but now that I think about it, that’s kinda a big leap to just assume.”

Yang then included, “I know I’m not really a part of your guys’ romantical situation or whatever, but I’d like to say that I never really gave it much thought about how (Y/N) knew so much, I kinda just took the shit as facts and then moved on. I mean, I’ve been looking for someone for practically my entire life and I kinda just showed up at a club to hear that somebody that I’ve never heard of has been waiting for me. Not only that, but he’s been waiting for me with the information that I’ve waiting my entire life to hear. So, I may be out of place to say this, but I don’t think it matters that he does know, or has secrets or whatever, I think the only thing that really matters are the intention behind it. And as far as I know, (Y/N) has never done anything even remotely negative towards me or anybody in this room, well maybe Ruby but he didn’t even swing on you” Yang finished as she looked at the short woman who was sitting on the man in question’s lap.

“Oh yeah! Redman didn’t attack me at all! He kinda just gave me a few pointers after he showed that he was waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy stronger than me! And then he took me to Yang after I lost her, so he never did anything bad to me! And he told me my mom might, probably, be alive which is really nice, and he built weapons with me which was super fun! Plus, he’s the first guy I’ve really liked which probably means something. Also, Yang, I may be misunderstanding since I’ve been told that I’m kinda uhm, ‘Airheaded’, but I don’t think anyone here is saying that they don’t like (Y/N) because of his secrets or anything like that! But I could be wrong.”

Glynda then followed with, “You’re not wrong Ruby, no one is holding any of this information against my love in anyway, if anything it’s the opposite. We are very impressed with all the things that he is knowledgeable about and has the knowhow to navigate, however at the same time it brings confusion to us when we try to figure it out. After all, it’s a bit difficult to help, protect, and support someone you love so dearly when you don’t know much about their struggles.”

Blake then added, “I agree, and I never meant to imply that I was doubting my Beloved in anyway, I just found it extremely interesting and confusing how unique he truly is. I mean, I literally watched him take on the most beautiful menagerie of Faunus traits I had ever seen, and on the train ride back I watched as he freely altered them like clothing, it was astonishing. It brought on such an overwhelming feeling that when he said, in essence, ‘I’ll explain later’, it was by far the best and most calming option for me in that moment. However, now that I’ve had time to process everything and heard about all the other crazy things that Bel has done, it feels like later.”

Winter then included, “I feel like that is an excellent summary of how most of us feel Blake, but I for one have very little input on a situation such as this. The time that I’ve experienced with the little Prince and all of you has been severely limited and that is something that I wish to change, but in the little time that I’ve known my little Prince, the only thing I wish to know about is his physical capabilities. My first encounter with him was not very passive, in fact it was very hostile, I launched myself at him in hopes of ending him quickly, and that is something I regret greatly. However, in the middle of my attack he very clearly recognized and was able to react to my strike, but even then, he didn’t move an inch. The fact that he was able to easily react to an attack, with all of my speed and strength, shocked me so much that I had lost all of the strength in my pierce, giving Neo the opportunity to block it. I know I’m not the most powerful combatant in this world, however I am also aware that I am far above average when it comes to strength, so seeing someone who I thought was a random gangster, and then learned was a student at Beacon, who was more powerful than me brought questions to my mind. That’s not even including the fact that I watched your clone confidently teleport out of a speeding airship that was 40,000ft (12,000m) above Atlas and survive without issue.”

Miltia and her twin then suddenly gasped loudly as the red twin spoke, “Oh yeah! Speaking of crazy power, weird unique abilities and stuff, Byakko was super small when we first met her, and she was all Grimm looking which was scary but cool!”

“Yeah, and then like, Byakko also like, suddenly grew like a million feet tall and took up like an entire corner of the room! Oh my god, then we were introduced to Lilith randomly which was crazy since she came from nowhere!”

“And on top of that, both of them turned out to be beautiful Faunus, but according to what Blakey just said Byakko just met Bro around the same time Neyah and Nix met him, so she grew super-fast!”

“Oh my god, not just growing super-fast, they also grew from like, being a tiger and a snake, into like, a whole people! Like, I don’t know a lot about animals and stuff, but I’m pretty sure like that’s not normal.”

Weiss with a towel wrapped around her chest then sat at the edge of the bed and added, “I know there’s a lot to discuss as far as the vast knowledge, intellect, and strange power that this Prince has, but at the same time that’s overlooking the major mystery that I’m sure we are all aware of. It’s practically impossible to ignore the fact that we know almost nothing about his past she said as she turned to face (Y/N). “Personally, I don’t mind any of your secrets, you’ll always be my Prince, but seeing the scars that litter your body brings me pain. Also, because I have no knowledge of what caused those scars and you constantly say that you are okay, it… it makes me afraid that you may incur more scars in the future.”

Pyrrha then perked up, “I concur with Weiss’s opinion, those scars come from wounds of a great battle and that much is more than clear to me. I know that you are strong, far stronger than I, but knowing that you have been this hurt before and thinking that I may be unable to protect you when, or if, the time comes brings me hardship. It is a thought that weighs on my mind whenever your not in my immediate vicinity, but I never brought it up because I did not wish to appear as to clingy or overbearing.”

Willow then popped in saying, “Dear, I know I haven’t had the pleasure of knowing you for very long and on top of that the time that I have known you we’ve been physically separated for the most part, but I trust in all that you do, so if you wish to keep everything that you have gone through in the past a secret then I’ll support you with every fiber of my being. Just know that if you ever wish to confide in another, I will gladly lend you an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on, it is the absolutely least I can do for the one who has shown me how to love again.” As Willow finished explaining her feelings on the situation, the room fell silent for a moment, giving the space for anyone else to speak up before they gave their lover a chance to respond, and it was during this silence that the women’s attentions naturally fell on the Faunus twins that have yet to speak, that were able to.

Glynda then chose to lightly clear her throat, adjust her frames slightly, and uncross her arms before she said, “Nix and Neyah, do you wish to give your opinion on the topic at hand at all? It seems as though the two of you would be the most qualified to come to a conclusion on this subject due to the fact that you both were the first to meet our lover.” The rest of the women cooperated the professors words with a series of head nods, thumbs up, and knowing looks before Nix slowly sat up from cuddling her sister and cleared her throat.

“I personally see no reason why I need to add any input to this discussion as my words won’t change the outcome and Babe already knows my feelings on the subject” Nix responded as her tail swished steadily back and forth across the bed.

“Why is that” Willow asked innocently.

At the woman’s question, Neyah also chose to sit up and she quickly responded with, “because Darling already said that he’d explain everything after the Summer Tournament/before the semester began, which obviously means that he will explain everything between now and the whatever-eth of Heat!”

“The tenth.”

“Now and the 10th of Heat! Most of you know that, so I don’t even know why you bothered bringing all that shit up anyway, if anything Darling just wanted us to enjoy the rest of the day before he got into all the doomy shit about his past” Neyah said as she laid back down on the bed. “I don’t actually give a fuck if Darling doesn’t wanna tell me anything, nothing would stop me from loving and caring for him, so whether he spills today, tomorrow, or a fuckin year from now it doesn’t matter.”

“I feel the same way as my sister, Babe has clearly been through hardship, we have all seen this through not only his scars, but also his desire to ensure that we need not go through the same. Not only this, but it seems that he is holding on to knowledge that may bring a burden that none of us wish to possess. That is more than likely why he is so insistent on going out on a nightly basis, using every waking moment with incredible productivity, and growing stronger throughout every day. Believe it or not Winter, but Babe was not neatly as powerful as he is now as he was when we first met him, sure he was always strong, but he wasn’t this strong. He climbs for strength at a rapid pace while still making time to lovingly stay around us, supporting us in every which way. I understand the desire to know more about him, I would love to as well, however even if our reasoning is positive, it is not right for us to apply pressure to get that story out of him. Instead, I’d much rather we all wait patiently for him to be ready, I believe that if it was something that we needed to know in the first place then he would have told us already, but if the time is not right, then it is it not right” Nix somberly spoke, putting a sense of guilt into the women who brought up the topic.

Pyrrha’s fist clenched slightly as she thought about the times that her Hubby spent training hard with them and sitting in deep thought as he thought ahead towards the future, Glynda’s mind immediately went to her loves declaration of wanting to save Beacon and Remnant from destruction and for the first time she really thought about what her love was specifically speaking of when he brought up that topic, Scarlet and the Malachite twin’s minds went to the insane development of the Demon Clan and all of the things their lover was going through to establish contact with the mysterious woman, The Schnee’s minds traveled to the various talks they had about all the things that (Y/N) was doing for them and their family as a whole, and Blake thought about her initial meeting with her lover, him declaring the liberation of their people and confidently moving forward with a plan that would take incomprehensible knowledge to execute. All of them simultaneously came to a deeper understanding of their lover, somehow deducing from that sliver of thought that there was far more to him than just his overwhelming love and strength.

After another moment of silence, all of the Lovers turned back to (Y/N) and in resounding unison gave their apologies. Even Neo sat up to give her Savior a quick kiss on the cheek in apologetic fashion, but the man himself was not at all offended or pressured by his lovers’ statements, if anything it was very reassuring. “The apologies really aren’t necessary, so Imma need you to take them all back, there is nothing for you all to apologize for. Like Nix and Neyah said, I promised that I would tell you guys at the end of the Tournament and the Tournament has ended so you have the right to ask about it. Honestly, it’s extremely heartwarming the things that you all feel for me, and I couldn’t love you all enough for caring that much about me to let my pain eat at you like it has. If I’m being completely honest, Neyah was right, I was just gonna tell you all tomorrow since I didn’t want to possibly ruin tonight’s festivities, but if you all really wanna know now then I can tell you no problem.”

“You already know my feelings Baby/You know my response Darling” said the Faunus twins with Nix’s tail settling down and Neyah sitting up to face her lover.

“My love, if you are ready to talk, then I am ready to listen” said Glynda as she adjusted her eye wear and crossed her arms.

“I concur with Glynda’s opinion Hubby, if the time is right for you then it is right for me as well” replied Pyrrha as she gave her Hubby her undivided attention.

Scarlet then perked up and said, “whenever you’re ready Honey!”

“Like, Bro, you can talk whenever, I’m sooooo ready for it/ Bro, you can start when your ready, since I’m ready as well!”

“Dear, I am fully ready to receive whatever you are willing to provide me with” Willow exclaimed with a warm smile.

“I-I’m sorry I brought up your scars earlier without considering your feelings about them, but if you are willing to speak about them, then I’d be more than happy to listen” Wiess explained to her Prince.

“I’d love to listen and learn about the things that you have been through to become the little Prince that I love today” Winter said with a slight smile.

“I’m ready, you’ve helped me a ton so if I can do anything to help you, I will do it without hesitation. If that includes hearing about your past and taking some of the burden off of your shoulders than I’ll do it gratefully” Blake declared as she sat on the ground with her feet crossed. After Blake’s words, Neo looked up at her lover and gave him a bright smile with a solid thumbs up, confirming that she was ok to hear the story now, and Ruby replicated Neo’s movements with a thumbs up of her own.

“Uhm, (Y/N), I’d be more than happy to listen, after all you’ve helped me more than I can explain, but I’m not really… you know… so if you want me to dip then I can do that” Yang explained nervously.

“Nah Yang you are more than welcome to stay, you’re more than close enough to me to learn about all of this nonsense” he said with a slight chuckle. “This is incredibly important for you to hear, not as much the me part but you do need to hear about what is to come, and plus it’s how I know about Raven as well. But your free to leave if you want, I’m not in the business of forcing people to hear things that they don’t wanna hear.”

“I already said yeah so I’m here for good, I aint leavin you” Yang said confidently, but as the words registered in her brain her cheeks suddenly flared up in embarrassment. “I-I mean I aint leavin this room, not you! I mean, I w-wouldn’t like, just, l-leave you either, but… you know what the fuck I mean!”

“Yeah, I gotcha Yang, no need to start swingin” (Y/N) replied as he ducked a swing from the embarrassed women. As the duo laughed off the quick interaction, Lilith and Byakko turned their attention to their master with quizzical expressions, ‘walking’ up to him and choosing to stand beside him.

As they arrived next to him, Lilith began with, “My King, how do you wish to begin your explanation of everything that has unfolded in recent time?”

(Y/N) gave Lilith’s question a bit of thought before he answered with, “well, I guess I’ll start from the very beginning, meaning my upbringing and what not before I go into the rest of the bullshit.”

Byakko then sat on her folded knees by her Master’s side before adding, “Master, are there any details that you would like to bypass during your explanation?”

“Nah, I’ll be telling everything from start to finish, including everything I learned after I awoke and everything I know about Remnant, not just now, but also what is to come.”

As Byakko finished getting comfortable in her seating position, she smiled a slight smirk at her Master’s response, gently and tenderly rubbing her cheek against his free arm as she purred. “You are incredibly brave in telling everything Master. Do not worry, I will assist you in any way I can help relieve you of any pressure you may feel during your story.”

Lilith then added, “I will also try my best to relieve some of the pressure whenever I can and fill in the various details whenever necessary My King, know as well that whatever happens neither me nor my sister Byakko will ever leave your side.”

(Y/N) took a moment to think about what the women meant by their odd statement implying the lovers splitting up, and it didn’t take long for him to understand what they were being weary of. “Thank you both for the help, but let’s hope that it doesn’t come to that: he replied as he gave a quick kiss to both Lilith and Byakko before turning his attention to his other lovers who were completely tuned in onto him. “I hope you all are comfortable because this is gonna be a very long story, with that being said, feel free to interrupt me at any time if you have any questions. So, without further ado, let me start from the beginning.”
