The Maiden's Guardian

Hello there everyone, It's Chaosweaver13 again, Sorry to any of you hoping for a new chapter of Wings of the Leaf right now, I promise that will be coming in the near future.

I guess I should explain this a bit, I recently have been reading some really good RWBY fanfics and got caught up on Vol. 3 of the anime and this idea just came to me and wouldn't go away, so I relented and decided that I would try my hand at it, and yes It is gonna be a bit more focused on my OC for this story, but they will be heavily involved with the characters from the shows canon so don't worry. I also ask that you give this a chance and please bear with me if I screw up anywhere, I'm a huge fan of the anime and I may mess up here and there, but I'm always trying my best, and any advice or suggestions would be wonderful and very appreciated, also don't forget to review if you enjoy it.

Anyway I have rambled on enough, so let's just get right it in, and also I want to address this now, anything that happens in this that anybody says is impossible, again it's a fanfiction that's based on an anime, logic really isn't gonna have much say here.

This also will start before the anime canon starts.

So let's get started. Please enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY, That wonderful right belongs to Rooster Teeth and the late Monty Oum, May he rest in peace. We all really miss you man.

Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Legend.

The World of Remnant, a world full of dangers and conflict, hope and despair, but more importantly, it is full of legends.

Throughout the history of Remnant, there are many legends that people know and speak of; one of these legends is very well known among even the younger generations of humans.

The Legend of the Four Maidens.

A tale many are familiar with, a Legend that speaks of the Four Maidens of Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Four young women who are gifted with incredible power and even greater burdens because of this.

There are few on Remnant who don't know about the Legend of the Maidens, but this story is of the fifth member of that group, one who is not that well known, and any who do believe it to be even more of a myth than the Maidens themselves.

This story is of the Maiden's Guardian.

When the Four Maidens came to be, another young woman was also granted incredibly power, but they were not one of the Maidens, but rather they were meant to be a Protector to the Four, and in time, possibly even a friend.

The Maidens were no different than any normal human, they lived, laughed, loved, and they died, and when they passed on their powers were passed on to the next to wield their powers, this cycle was set in stone since they came to be.

However, the Guardian did not share this fate. The Maiden's Guardian was no different from the Maidens themselves, but instead of their power being passed on, the Guardian would simply be reborn in a new body, losing the memories of their previous life or lives in the process and starting over again.

This is a blessing and a curse to the Guardian as they would forever serve in this duty, but be unaware until they were needed.

The Maidens always saw their Guardian at one point in each life, and would sometimes be drawn to their Guardian to form a bond of friendship with them or even a more sisterly bond, thus every Guardian has at least met one of the Maidens at some point in their life.

In the beginning, the Maidens along with their Guardian were like a small family, they were always together and rarely apart from each other, but when others attempted to harm the Maidens and steal the powers they possessed, the family of five made a decision, and the 4 Maidens themselves placed some of their own power each into the soul of their Guardian sister, to ensure no one can ever truly take the power of any Maiden, this power would stay with the Guardian forever, never to be used by them only to be kept locked away.

However, Time passes, generations come and go, and the cycle has begun anew once again, and this is where our story will begin.

+Location: Forests surrounding Mount Glenn+

+Time: 10 years before canon+

It was a cold night out in the forests surrounding Mount Glenn. In a large clearing, a young woman can be seen in the moonlight, finishing off a couple of large black creatures that greatly resembled bears.

The creatures are a type of Grimm known as Ursa, and near the very clearing they turned to dust in was what used to be a small nest of them that was no longer there.

The young woman in question was a huntress who had just finished an assignment from her boss/employer to clear out said nest. One Glynda Goodwitch.

Her superior, a man by the name of Professor Ozpin, had gotten a report that raised some concerns about the nest of Ursa and had sent Glynda to take care of it.

Ozpin was the headmaster at a prestigious school in the kingdom of Vale known as Beacon Academy, a school where Huntsmen and Huntresses in training could go to learn and train to become full fledged Hunters, and Glynda was not only a professor but also in a way Ozpin's personal assistant at the school.

As the woman was about to make her way out of the forest, something caught her eye, a small object high in the sky above the forest. It was hard to make out, but it didn't look like another Grimm, and this conclusion was only solidified as the object in question was falling from the sky rapidly.

Glynda was watching the object until it crashed into the forest, right where the nest she had just cleared had once been, the crash shaking a few of the trees a little.

Curious and concerned, the Huntress made her way back toward where the object landed.

Upon arriving at the crash site, the location had a small crater in it now, and upon approaching the depression in the earth, Glynda spotted something that made her eyes go wide.

Lying in the crater, unconscious and naked as the day they were born, was a young girl, likely no older than five years old. She had short dark sapphire blue hair and fairly light skin, only slightly pale but dark enough that it wasn't much concern.

Glynda hurried a little into the crater and took the jacket she had put on for this assignment off and scooped the child up into her arms, wrapping the jacket around the little girl as she just stared at her.

Glynda pulled out her scroll and quickly called Ozpin informing him she needed an airlift out of the forest and telling him she had a small child with her she found in the forest.

She figured it would be better to explain everything to him in person rather than over their scrolls.

+Time-Skip: Two Hours Later+

+Location: Beacon Academy-Ozpin's Office+

Glynda had just finished giving her report to Ozpin, detailing the mission she had just completed making sure to include the odd event of discovering the young girl who was currently lying on a couch in the office asleep and wrapped in a blanket.

Ozpin took a sip from his mug of coffee and looked at the sleeping girl with a look in his eyes as though he was looking for something. "That is quite an explanation Glynda, a young girl falling from the sky is quite a tale indeed. But the question that remains is what do we do with her?"

Glynda just stared at the Headmaster for a moment before looking over at the girl and sighing. "Sir, I ran some checks already and there is no record of her in the kingdom, If anything she is an orphan."

Ozpin nodded to this. "I see, well we can call one of the orphanages in Vale to come and take her in. I'm sure they wouldn't mind, after all she looks no older than maybe five years ol…"

Both adults in the room were silenced when they heard shuffling and a low groan as both their gazes moved to the young girl who seemed to be waking up.

The girl opened her eyes slowly and seemed to yawn but no sound came out as she slowly sat up on the couch and looked around the office before her eyes stopped on Glynda and Ozpin, who both seemed confused at the girls eyes, her left eye was a crimson red while her right eye was a deep sapphire blue.

The three occupants of the room just stared at each other in silence before Ozpin cleared his throat. "Well good evening young lady, I hope you slept well?"

The girl blinked at Ozpin before having a small smile on her face and nodding a bit.

The Headmaster took another sip of his coffee and gave the girl a small smile on his own. "Good to hear; now if it's not too much trouble may I ask your name?"

The girl just stared at Ozpin and tilted her head a bit, making her look more adorable than she already did, her voice coming out very soft and quiet. "N...name?"

Glynda just blinked at the girl, did she not even know her own name at all. "Yes your name young lady? What do people call you?"

The girl's eyes moved to Glynda as she just stared a bit. "I...I don't know."

Now both adults were confused and shocked, here was a girl who fell from the sky and crashed practically unharmed and she also didn't even have a name.

They were brought out of their thoughts when they heard a tapping noise, turning their heads they saw the little girl had moved next to Ozpin's desk and was lifting and setting his cane down, tapping it on the floor as she smiled a bit.

Glynda just kept staring at the girl as she played with the cane. 'This girl has no home, family, friends; she doesn't even have a name. Maybe we can do something for her better than an orphanage' The woman nodded to herself as she looked at Ozpin. "Sir would it be possible for me to adopt the girl?"

Ozpin looked at his assistant in the eyes, wondering if this might be a bit of a prank from her but upon seeing no humour in her eyes only conviction, he took a sip of his coffee and looked at the young girl who was playing with his cane.

He cleared his throat catching the girl's attention again. "Young lady, If you would like..." He motioned to Glynda whom the girl looked at. "Miss Glynda here wishes to adopt you; if you are fine with that she will be your new mother."

The girl blinked again, the word felt warm to her so she put the cane back, propped against the desk as she walked over to Glynda and looked up at her. "M...mother?" The girls head tilted a bit.

Glynda nodded. "Yes, I would be your new mother and I can give you a name as well if you'd like" She was caught off guard however when she felt two small arms wrap around her right leg as she looked to find the girl hugging her leg before she heard something that made her heart melt. "Mommy!"

Ozpin chuckled a bit and took another drink of coffee. "I guess that settles that, so what shall you be naming her Glynda?"

The woman smiled as she reached down and picked up the little girl and looked into her eyes before nodding. "Azul...Azul Lucina Goodwitch. Do you like that name little one?"

The newly named Azul nodded happily as she hugged Glynda tightly.

The two adults in the room smiled a bit at the girl now named Azul as they nodded to each other, Glynda heading out of the office after the headmaster had silently dismissed her so he could get the girls records setup.

Well I hope you all liked that and are eager to see what comes in the future.
