It was not to long after the commotion on the forest, that the figure of an anxious man was seen running within it. His eyes looked nervous and bloodshot as each step he took, moved off the ground even faster. It was not but a few minutes after Silva and the Grimm left, that the man reached the destination.
Looking around the tree where summer had laid on, and seeing all the blood on the ground, the man eyes reflected immense grief, it was not long before he looked around and realized something was not right.
“This is not right, Summer should had already been spent by the time she got into the tree, there is no way there should be fighting marks at this place”
“Did somebody saved her?” Finally realizing the possibilities of her survival, he took out a scroll from his pocket and made a call.
“Oz, I need you to see if you can now locate Summer signal “Said towards the man on the other side.
“I understand! Did you find something Qrow?”
“I found signs of a fight, yet from the amount of blood, Summer was no longer in condition to fight” Said towards the man, in a bit of a hurry.
After a few seconds, Ozpin responded from the scroll “I found her! I’m sending you her coordinates”. Finishing the call Qrow looked at the location sent and immediately moved.

Inside the cave, it had been at least half an hour since the treatment started as Silva sent his aura little by little, in order to stabilize Summer, his head was filled with sweat. Finally after some time he stopped completely and looked at the crystal powder on his hand, the two crystal and the serum were barely enough to help him get through her treatment.
Just as he was finally able to take a heavy breath, he could feel someone watching him. During the time he was treating Summer, he was so concentrated that he didn’t notice someone sneaked behind his back. In fact it was only after he relaxed that he was finally able to feel the presence, this meant that the person behind him did this on purpose.
It was not long since he had ran away taking Summer with him, so he was currently nervous and his body tensed up.
“Who is it?” Just as he took a small marked knife from his bed a rough voice from behind talked to him. “Relax Kid! I’m not here to hurt you!”
_____________________________________________________________________________________
After following the direction from his scroll, Qrow reached a blocked cave, right in front of the rock he could distinguish a few footprint on the ground. Making him realize that someone lived in this place, but the thing that bothered him were the size of the footprints.
“A kid? Here? Impossible” Thinking twice, he decided against moving the boulder, and transformed into a bird in order to look for another entrance. After a few minutes he had finally located a hole through the top, enough for him to enter in his bird form. Masking his presence in order to avoid alerting the person inside he swiftly entered.
Inside he was stunned by what he saw. With the help of the moonlight, he could perceive two figures. The one person, he was looking for was laying down on a roughly made bed. Right In front of her, a child was using his aura to repair her injuries. His small face was filled with sweat, but what shocked him the most was the color of his aura, pure silver.
Qrow could sense the amount of aura he possessed, yet he was stunned by the quality of it. The boy’s aura was quickly repairing most of her wounds. Qrow knew that he could not the process, as a tiny mistake could bring permanent damage. So he could only continue masking his presence, in order to not alert him.
“He seems to be of Yang’s age” Qrow thought as he looked at the boy in front of him. Finally after who knows how long, he saw how her pale complexion eased a lot regained color, and the boy finally stopped to take a breath. Just as the boy took a relaxed breath, Qrow did too, releasing his masked presence.
At the moment this occurred, Qrow saw the boy’s body tense up “Shit!” Looking at him, Qrow could no longer continue hiding and simply opened his mouth.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
The minute Qrow’s voice came over. Silva couldn’t help but feel stunned, he recognized the tone. After all, it belonged to one of his favorite characters. Turning around he saw man wearing a red cape, black hair and red eyes. It was no one but Qrow Branwen.
The moment he saw him, Silva started checking him, while Qrow did the same. At the moment that Qrow looked at the boy in front of him, he couldn’t help but get a bad feeling “How the hell, can a kid his age be living in this dammed forest” many thoughts came to Qrow as he continued looking at him.
After both saw each other, Qrow took a step forward and made Silva nervously move back. Sighing to himself, Qrow realized how stupid his action was, thinking he had scared the body. So Qrow tried talking to the boy with a small smile. “Hello Kiddo! Sorry for scaring you, what’s your name?”
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
Hearing him talk so awkwardly, Silva gave him a weird look and answered back after a bit. In fact Silva was not scared, it was just a reflexively action.
“Silva, just Silva” That was the name he had chosen with the system. He had just shortened his past life name in order, to fit into the world. Hearing his answer, Qrow couldn’t help to sight lightly.
“Then Silva, the woman in the bed is a friend of mine” Qrow continued using a weird smile, as if trying ease the atmosphere around them “Do you mind letting me check her?”
Hearing Qrow continue talking like that, Silva couldn’t help but chuckle while looking at his awkward appearance, embarrassing Qrow. After looking at his red but worried face, Silva simply said “Ok!”
Gaining his approval, Qrow hurriedly moved towards Summer side, and used his aura in order to examine her wounds and further heal her.
Looking at Qrow by Summer side, Silva couldn’t help but give a satisfied smile. Finally he had finally completed the mission. And right at that moment, the silent voice was heard once more, as a text appeared once more on his eyes, confirming his thoughts.

Looking at the words and rewards he obtained, Silva couldn’t help but feel dumbfounded. “Path to Godhood? System what is that? Explain to me” Silva asked the system, as he read the description. He had finally obtained the system’s true name of it, he recalled there were some unreadable words, the first moment he appeared on the white space.
But he had completely forgotten about it “That’s the system’s true name and Host purpose. Host was chosen by someone with higher authority, and sent to this world in order to conquer it!” The system monotone voice answered.
“Chosen? Who chose me? It was not you” Silva asked quite perplexed, this was the first time he received this information. Sadly the System only told him “Sorry! Host currently doesn’t have the necessary permissions neither the authority to know”
“What? The when would I have them?” Silva asked quite stunned by the system answer.
“When the host Global influence reaches fifty percent!”
“What! Doesn’t that mean I have to conquer half of the world?” To his question the system simply remained silent, like it didn’t want to give Silva any hints. Finally Silva decided to stop thinking about it, after finally obtaining what he desired. Silva was only left with more questions and he was mentally tired. He had spent at least half an hour stabilizing her, not only that, but saving her, had spent most of his stamina. So after he finally relaxed, it didn’t took long before Silva lost consciousness.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
After expending most of his aura, Qrow finally stopped and looked at Summer. She had recovered to a greater extent, even though some of her bones were still broken, Summer’s body was no longer bleeding.
Taking a look to the side, Qrow realized that in a corner of the bed, the little boy name Silva was sleeping while sitting. Taking a deep breath, he took his cape off to cover him. Right after, he took a scroll out of his pockets and made a call.
“Qrow? What happened? Did you find her?” Ozpin voice was heard from the other side as his voice sounded quite worried. “Yeah I did! I found her and something else” Qrow answered back.
Hearing the tone of his voice, Ozpin said quite intrigued. “Ho! Tell me”
_____________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning after Qrow reported towards Ozpin, Silva woke up by an aura reaction.
“Someone is moving the boulder!” Standing up in a hurry, Silva reached the place where the rock was supposed to be and found Qrow standing at the entrance.
Feeling a presence at his back Qrow looked behind, and saw Silva standing shocked.
“Hey Kiddo! What’s wrong?” Seeing his face, he asked a smug smile on his face.
“Where is the rock? What happened here?” Silva asked while ignoring the look on his face.
Looking at his face Qrow smiled and said while pointing at the sky “Up there”. Silva moved towards the outside the cave, and found the giant boulder being effortlessly held by floating rocks.
“You sure are cautious Kid, to put some kind of defense on the rock itself”
“If we didn’t notice, we would have being taken by surprise, thankfully we had someone who realized on time”
Shocked by what he saw, Silva asked “then how?” to which Qrow was about to respond, only to be interrupted by a voice coming at the other side of Silva.
“It’s because, the markings activate, when aura is used to move the boulder directly, not when is moved by something else, in other words as long as we don’t directly intervene with the boulder, the markings will not activate”
Hearing a man talking, Silva couldn’t help but turn his head towards it. And saw a middle aged man with silver hair, wearing shade glasses together with a black suit, in his right hand a walking cane. He responded while he looking at the Flying Thunder God Mark pasted on the side of the rock.
“Marvelous! What an amazing application of spatial energy” he exclaimed as he appraised the marking, he was about to touch it when a stern voice came warned him.
“Headmaster! Please! This is not the right time” As the voice came from other side, Silva looked to the new direction, and saw a beautiful blonde woman, with green eyes and glasses holding a riding crop in her hands. Silva immediately realized that she was the one responsible for levitating the boulder.
“I understand! Glynda” he said as he stopped and stared at the boy close to him, looking at him with a small smile on his face he introduced himself.
“Hello Silva! My name is Ozpin”
“I came here for you, would you like to come with us?” just as Ozpin finished talking, in the ears of Silva the system talked.
