We see Jaune, the blonde haired leader of team JNPR, walking though the Emerald Forest. He had recently received news that his family had disowned him. So he decided to take a walk through the Emerald Forest, to clear his head.

       The boy, currently, is standing in the middle of the ruins where they found their relics. He goes over the memories, and smiles. But a dim blue glow catches his eye. He cautiously walks over, and moves aside one of the overhanging clumps of vines. There, a strange object was resting against a price of rubble.

       He slowly reaches out towards it. As soon as the tips of his fingers touch it, and a bright flash illuminates the dark forest. He gently picks it up and slips it on. He then walks away, only for a dark growl to stop him. He turns around, to see a pack of Beowulves.

     They pounce at him, claws outstretched. But a sudden fireball explodes in between the Grimm and the Hunter in training. With a roar, a new creature arrives on the scene. But it wasn't a Grimm.

(Is it okay if I make him the size of an Ursa?)

      The creature glares at the Grimm with its one eye, before it roars again. The Grimm howl in response, before three fire balls turn them to ashes. It turns to Jaune. It walks over to him, and gently nuzzles his left arm with the strange stone. He reaches out with his right and gently scratches it behind its crest. It purrs.

"What are you?"

       The creatures eye stares into his blue ones. It simply licks his face in response. It nips the collar of his shirt, and throws him into the air. He falls back down screaming, landing in a sitting position on it back. But it doesn't hurt. The skin between its armor plates is soft. The creature spreads it wings and they take off. The creature circles for a bit. Jaune realizes suddenly that it's waiting for him to steer it.

    He gently hold onto parts of its crest, and steers it towards Beacon. They quickly pass over the forest, and they land on the cliff. Jaune dismounts, and strokes the creatures snout.

"Thank you."

       It lets out a small roar in reponse. But it's eyes suddenly snap open and it jumps backwards, barely avoiding a sniper round. Jaune turns around to see team RWBY and his "teammates".

"Jaune get away from that thing!"

"No! Wait! It saved my life!"

They don't listen, keeping their weapons aimed at the beast. It growls, a few embers fluttering in between its teeth.

"Jaune. Move."

"No."

The teams scowl, before firing their weapons. Jaune runs to the beast, and hugs it's head, determined to protect it. He expects the pain, but it doesn't come. He opens his eyes to seee all the dust rounds surrounded by a purplish aura. The billets are diverted and explodes all around the Hunter and the beast. Jaune looks around to see Glynda waking up to them, along with Ozpina. Glynda scowls at the group.

"Firing on a fellow hunter for defending something that saved his life. Shameful."

"But Professor!"

"Silence, Nikos! I expected better of you! To fire on a fellow hunter and peer is disgusting! I would expel you on the spot, if not for your accomplishments here and elsewhere!"

Pyrrha blinks, shocked that the Headmistress raised her voice. Ozpina turns towards the young Arc. She smiles.

"It's good to see that you have finally rejoined with your families lost legacy."

"Wait, what?"

"May years ago, there was a boy named Lute. He lived in an unknown village, during a time where the Grimm were scarce. His village had an ancient tradition, where they bonded with these monsters, through that stone right there."

Ozpina raises her cane, pointing it at the stone on his arm.

"These stones, called Kinship Stones, could only be activated by people like them. The monster behind you, is called a Rathalos. One of the most powerful. Lute also owned a Rathalos, whom he named Ratha. Lute also, was a descendent of Radon. The first monster rider. His Rathalos channeled the power of the White Dragon, an ancient monster who could destroy Grimm by its mere presence. During these times, there was a magical plague, which affected monsters, called the Black Blight. This was caused by the presence of Maki Pietru, the Black Dragon. Lute and Ratha quested to find Vietra Piteru, which was supposedly the White Dragon. But due to some complications, his firmed turned enemy's corrupt soul summoned Makili Pietru's soul, which possessed Vietra. It became Makili, and corrupted the Kinship Ore, which Kinship Stones come from, on top of what is now Mount Glenn. Ratha was inflicted by the Blight. But though Lute's words, he broke free. They fought Makili Pietru, and defeated him by using the true soul of the White Dragon. Ratha and Lute died long ago, but that Ratha is nearly exactly the same. And you, young Arc, could possibly be one of his descendants. He married a girl called Avinia, which is why your family has been blonde for so many generations. But sadly, the way of the Rider has nearly died out. Young Arc, I ask that you keep that stone and that Rathalos. Not to only keep a lost tradition alive, but if that stone and that monster fall into the wrong hands, we'll have Hell to pay. Will you do it?"

Jaune seems to take a minute to process the information that he just heard, but soon stands up and nods.

"I will."

Ozpina nods, before walking up to the Flying Wyvern. It tilts its head curiously, and sniffs Ozpina, before gently rubbing its head against her hand. She smiles.

"Your just a big softie, aren't you?"

The wyvern purrs in response. Ozpina giggles. Glynda walks up, cautiously. The Rathalos stands up and pounces on her, licking her face joyously. She starts to laugh, the creatures surprisingly smooth tongue tickling her. Jaune rushes over and tries to pry off the wyvern. With some effort, it does. It lets a strange gurgle sound in its throat. A small black and white blur wizzes past the humans and stops in front of the wyvern.

Ruby cry out in worry.

"Zwei!"

The little corgi has a derpy look on its face and starts to bark happily at the large beast. The Rathalos crouches down and stares at the young corgi. It sniffs and lets a puff of air. Unfazed, he barks again. Ratha lets out a pure, and licks the corgi. The pup runs farther away. The wyvern begins to chase him around, playing a sort of tag. Ruby cautiously walks over. The Rathalos stops chasing Zwei around and stares at her. At first he growls quietly.

"It's okay big guy. She's nice."

    The wyvern snorts, before its growls cease. It still stares warily at Ruby. She gently puts her weapon on the ground and walks towards the Wyvern. It relaxes, but still keeps the wary look. She gently rubs its scared eye. It flinches, but accepts the pat. It growls contentedly. Ruby giggles.

"Looks like someone else likes him."

Ozpina turns and stares at the setting sun, thinking to herself.

"I promise Lute. I'll keep Jaune alive."
