(Three years ago. Beacon Academy)

The laughter in the room was the only thing his ear could pick up, his eyes were half open showing signs that he had just been woken irritating but he had already gotten used to it after many months in this academy, after all it was one of the many challenges that awaited him at Beacon.

The laughs couldn't have come from anywhere but from the mouths of his widened his eyes and could see the rest of the room, it was only the other three of his colleagues talking about something that he did not have the context of so he could not continue the conversation.

Heather Baker was the leader of the team, a raven haired girl with white tips at the end of her long hair that reached the middle of her back, her eyes were a navy blue that looked beautiful on her when the sun hit her. beautiful was someone determined, strong and VERY powerful, bold only when necessary, she was full of courage, she had incredible fight plans, when it came to leadership she was perfect, but she was also someone very nice and could have problems and she would always find a way to help you find a was a born leader who has led her team very well.

Then there was Leon Williams, the second male on the team, he was a carefree looking guy, he was someone who was energetic when the situation was too, arguably the most frivolous member of the team, but also very good at combat and more. all at once he kicked his butt in training but Leo would always be happy to teach him new moves and improve his attacks. His eyes were dark brown, he had black hair at the bottom but on top of him he had lots of purple locks that made him look (in his own words) maybe he was, because he also attracted the attention of many girls and without knowing it he also had a reasonable attention of a certain Schnee heiress.

Then there was the second girl on the team, Alexandra Eingel, she and he were the calmest of the team, the girl was mostly relaxed but gave off an aura not of power but of calm, she was someone who could be happy with the simple action of watering a innocent but brave who did not back down on the had light blonde hair that came down to her shoulders and her eyes were hazel.

And then there was him, Ethan Owen, a brown-haired boy with emerald eyes. He was just a smart, laid back guy, someone you could sit next to in an office with and not feel was a very strange example that Leo gave him but many said that he gave off an aura of kindness, others said that he was someone generous and classmates had described him as someone very nice, cool (from Sun and Neptune) and very smart, he also enjoyed reading some books, but he was also someone who was able to stay alive on the was almost nothing remarkable about him in battles since despite being in Beacon, his semblance powers had not been fully trained and studied, so he could not get the most out of them, but he could still defend himself from the grimms. It could be said that he was the kindest member of the team despite his own contradictions, which only had grounds in saying that they too were kind and cool.

But together they made up the HEAL team, one of the few teams that stood out the most at Beacon, then there were their sister teams JNPR and the RWBY team.

"Why are you laughing so hard?" He complained as he rubbed his eyes so he could open them fully.

Heather who was sitting on her bed with her blanket covering her shoulders smiled affectionately at him, a happiness and brightness was seen in her eyes when she saw Ethan, something that Leo and Alexandra noted with complicity "Good morning Ethan, we are sorry to wake you up but we just we were laughing at nonsense "

"Will guess, does it have to do with the stupid things we did in the Vale business district?" Ethan said and everyone made a face when he mentioned that disaster in Vale town.

"Getting drunk to the top is bad" Alexandra said, she was in a chair in front of the mirror while she combed her hair to make it as smooth as possible.

Leo nodded in agreement "Especially when we're the ones getting drunk. But hey you have to admit some things were fun"

Ethan barely smiled "I guess if I could just remember what we did, all we have are those photos"

"Photos that will remain for the memory, well only one of them, most were not to put into pictures" Heather added laughing at the image of all those photos in her camera.

Ethan winced when he remembered the contents of those photos, if possible they would take those memories to the grave.

"Anyway guys, I'll be the next to shower, Alexandra already had her turn so that takes time out" Heather got up from her bed to take her towel and go to the bathroom.

Ethan and Leo stayed to talk a while more about trivial things and with Alexandra commenting once in a while. He felt terrible when he realized that the first class was with Professor Port, the man seemed to have an interesting class but 80% of the class was him telling stories from his youth. Ethan laughed when Leo suggested bringing a pillow to sleep in class.

After an hour the whole HEAL team was ready for a new day of class, everyone had their uniforms on, the boys had their ties tied neatly along with their male student shirts and pants and the girls had on their dark socks with their shirts and red plaid skirts made for female students

Heather's hair was naturally styled with a part that extended to the right as a straight piece just like the left that flowed to the shoulders, she knew how to style her long hair and make it look with a simple hairstyle, she easily attracted the gazes of boys even girls to the dismay of other Ethan's words, she was absolutely beautiful.

Alexandra's hair was beautifully combed and soft to the touch. Leo had his hair slicked back with a pleased smile on his face. Finally Ethan in addition to having his uniform on him, had his hair combed to the right leaving a fringe that made a percentage of his forehead show, and to top it off he put on his glasses for sight that covered his emerald eyes.

It was just the four of them heading to their class, on their way through the corridors they could see how other teams were coming out of their dormitories also ready to receive their morning classes. But there were two rooms that mattered more to them than the rest.

JNPR was completely ready, Jaune their blonde haired leader still had some tie issues but luckily Pyrrha was there to help the boy she secretly liked to properly tie a seemed to be the same as always, a calm and tired face trying to calm her friend Nora, the girl of course did not stop talking about many things at the same time with her energetic tone.

RWBY used that moment to leave the room, the leader Ruby, was happily talking to Weiss who covered his ears to try not to let the shrill voice of the young leader of hers destroy his was ... in Blake mode, relaxed and reading a book like a quiet girl, next to her Yang, Ruby's sister, was telling the classic jokes of her that was another reason that Weiss covered herself the ears

Thank goodness it was another normal day at Beacon three teams greeted each other and all headed to Port's class, Ethan would swear he saw some students with pillows coming to class but maybe it was just his imagination.

The class was normal, nothing special, Professor Port was as always talking about how he beat an older bear with his was obviously asleep, Ruby was drawing whatever came to her mind in her notebook, Weiss seemed to try to concentrate but sometimes her eyes would close from boredom only to reopen seconds before closing completely, Blake kept reading but being in the back of the class she was reading a somewhat...obscene book.

Ethan vowed never to be tempted to read Ninjas of Love again. He liked to read but he was very ashamed of that kind of reading, even so he wondered how the protagonist and the girl ended up.

Jaune decided to steal Yang's tactic and fell asleep too, Pyrrha seemed to be the only one focused on Port's story, Nora was playing with her pencil putting it to her nose and trying to keep it steady, Ren was completely still, he wasn't even blinking, others would believe that he was just concentrating on the story but most would think that the guy fell asleep with his eyes open.

It seemed that it was the day to steal maneuvers, since Leo also copied Yang and fell asleep at his table with some drool coming out of his mouth, Alexandra knew it was rude to sleep in class so he concentrated all his aura on his eyes to keep them open.

Was that possible? he would have to look into it.

While all that was happening downstairs and together with Ethan and Heather, the latter decided to look askance at Ethan, if there was nothing relevant in the class then she would concentrate on something else that mattered to her. She first she started with a few sideways glances to admire his face, then followed with a slight turn of the head that lasted seconds just to get a better view of his concentrated face that at the moment only had eyes in finally, she ended with an intense gaze directed at the boy she was madly in love with.

She stared at him for who knows how long, since seeing him alone in this way, with his face relaxed and focused, was a way of disconnecting from the outside and just concentrating on the amazing human being that she had on a par.

Ethan could be a generic hunter, however, strange as it was, he could feel someone's gaze intensely on him. A skill that would take years to develop but that he had, along with other skills that came out of nowhere.

And about the look, well, he could feel it coming next to him and there was only one person sitting to the left of her. Ethan turned his head to face the person who had been watching him for a good few seconds. Just as he thought, it was her leader, Heather, the girl in question was shocked when Ethan caught her watching.

She turned her head away from her quickly and with much embarrassment, she really didn't expect Ethan to catch her staring at him, she thought she was being discreet.

But it's serious?Ethan had a hard time perceiving grims, but could he easily feel a girl's gaze?

"¿Everything okay Heather?"The boy in question asked with a raised eyebrow. He was confused by Heather's behavior which had been a bit weird for a few months when they were alone or when they were training together.

"I-iiiiii well...it's nothing" A blush grew on the poor girl's cheeks as she looked at her table in shame and refusing to see catching you looking at it that way, it was certainly something very uncomfortable. "I just got distracted"

Heather's heart was beating at an out-of-standard rhythm as her blush grew more apparent. Almost she felt the need to play with her hair but she resisted, it would not fall so low.

Meanwhile Ethan also had problems with her heart, since the scene in front of him was so fucking cute, that he felt her heart beat much louder than the rest. He knew it very well, Heather was beautiful, he was not the only one who thought that, but also most of the boys who saw her for the first when they passed by the corridors some boys were stunned by how beautiful she was, not even the girls were saved from being in awe of Heather's ability to be so pretty without even wearing makeup.

Now it was Ethan's turn to look at her for several seconds, Heather thought Ethan would pay attention to her class again but from the corner of her eye she realized he was looking at her. She turned to see why and there she could see him stunned and frozen.

"You are ok?" she asked and they both felt a deja vu.

At the ironic twist of fate, Ethan smiled and Heather also noticed that the roles seemed to be reversed and she too gave a small and low laugh.

After laughing for a short time, they both looked at each other, it was only for a few moments before they turned their attention back to the class, but at that moment they both smiled like they never believed, she had feelings for him, and he was finding a new way of looking at her.

He didn't know it at the time, but it was from there that the way would open for her relationship with her leader to take a big step that would change their lives.

(Present. Exile Island, thousands of kilometers from Remnant)

Those were beautiful memories, it seemed like it was only yesterday that he set foot in Beacon academy, it seemed like yesterday that he took that chess piece and Ozpin named them all a team.

They were moments that sadly had to be temporary due to the situation that Exile Island was experiencing at that time. It was extremely painful for everyone, not only for him but for his cousins who are currently each on a different battlefield, but all had the same objective: to end the tyranny that all his people have suffered during the last 16 years for part of the upper classes that came to power because of someone they put their trust in again, only to fail them again.

He had to leave, and incidentally steal an object that would help him and his family to end this entire war that has left nothing but death and sadness on the part of both they wanted to win, they had to steal it, and he and his cousins stole it because it was necessary, but in doing so they betrayed every principle they were taught in Remnant.

And they betrayed every single person who placed their trust in them.

It was for a greater good, he knew it very well, but guilt ate him completely, he still remembered Heather's face of horror when he left that day, he left everything behind, her friends, all the achievements he had, and the love of his life. And at this point, everything was very damaged, absolutely the whole relationship with them probably had no fix, so it did not matter to him if this war ended, in the end he would not be welcomed back with open arms. He fervently believed in that.

As he looked at the grave of his parents, he felt his stomach shrink in fear of what the future would have in store for him, because the only thing he saw on that dark path was only misery and death. So the cycle of his family would continue even when no one is fighting, it seemed that his family had no right to be happy.

"Mom, Dad" he said in a broken voice and his breathing increasing at alarming steps "Tell me what can I do? I don't have the answer anymore, I just...I want to end all this once and for all, I want to go back to when everything was better" he sobbed, it seemed like crying was the best right now. And it was.

Notes: omg, I finally had the balls to create my own RWBY fanfic, it's always awesome to create new stories and I've always wanted to do one of this series.

I hope you are interested, this is just the prologue, so the chapters will come from time to time. This will not be like the other RWBY stories where the couples are a character of the would and an oc, in this case I saw the risky idea of making an oc x oc ship.

This is the English version, it will probably not be published at the same time as the Spanish version but I will try to do my best. I also realized that the google translator makes some errors to the translation, such as separating the periods, commas or spaces, anyway I will fix these changes every time I find one so that the reading is more pleasant to read. There can always be translation errors because it is an artificial intelligence that translates everything, so I will try to change some words that do not match the rest, my English is not very good, it could be a 6/10 since I can read stories in English without getting lost in reading, so from now on forgive me if you find these errors.

I do it like this since it fits very well with the lore that I am going to create for this fic.

Good see you until next time.
