Okay so the semblance will be Delay it allows for slight time manipulation were anything he is touching will be delayed depending on how much aura he pours into the thing he's touching I chose this decision based on many considerations from Ruby's influence on his soul and considering her semblance is Petal burst and Penny reveals that her Semblance allows her to disassemble herself at a molecular level and reassemble at a chosen location. This allows her to go around obstacles or through paths that she would not otherwise fit.

So the Delay is at a molecular level along with the aura or in this case the soul so in the future he will be STRONG. The boy's original semblance was going to be Slow allowing for slowing things with his aura.

As for Edward his semblance was going to be Recognition allows for the remembering of anything he dems useful from fighting techniques to passing information it's always active and only deactivate when asleep giving a connection to his past life were he was both a insomniac and at the same time some one who could sleep for days if not for his body.*

Previously on Hidden Secrets Qrow found Edward and Ruby in a complicated position after a random bright light resulting in Edward grating the beating of his life even if it was only 2 kicks and that resulted in a broken arm and aura making him fall into his soul which is a mess.

Edward, unsure of what to do and considering the state of his soul and not having read far in the Monty Oum book about Remnant, since he's been busy doing jobs for Junior.

Decided it would be a good idea and act like a child and mix all the colours together making a dark shade of Eden revealing that Edward's original soul was a green that resulted in the weird purple lines? Cracks? Disappearing showing that it was harmful to his soul he could only hope that it wouldn't make a reappearance.

Feeling wired, Edward started waking up soon to be aware of the falling girl but also being unsure of who he was thanks to his slightly new soul.

Ed??? P.O.V

Feeling hazy I slowly open my eyes only to see the bright light of the sun and a growing black dot. The black dot was revealed to be a girl, a girl that was falling at an astonishing rate!

"LOOK OUTTTTTTT!!!" she screams from the sky while waving her arm around almost as if flying like a bird.

Confused by the still forming new soul I didn't know how to react resulting in a painful collision, though it didn't seem to harm the girl much, as for me I'm starting to fall unconscious… again.

"owwwww. Hey, you okay?" she says looking down at me and then pinching my cheek and playing with them as if I was a cat.

"oww." was all that I was able to gasp out along with a "Your heavy…" Which I feel like I would soon regret.

The woman just gave him a deadpan expression and stated that she’s only "97 pounds and that isn't a lot" she then said after getting off of him and reaching out her hand.

"Lady, I'm 6?? Yeah I'm a 6 year old who just got his aura and was recently beaten, though it seems my arm healed." It took me quicker than I expected to recover thanks to my aura and soul. I said all this while getting up slowly.

"woah your six? and I'm still…shorter-anyway you'll be under my supervision then! also I get what you mean, I was beaten too, also watched my own mom get killed by my dad, so I get it, I hate that you had to go through that" She responded.

Being confused and worried about what she went through when she seems to be no older than 10-no younger even maybe 6 or 7 but all I could respond with is an "O…k… Didn't need to know that, but I'm sure it'll get better??ANYWAY… YOU owe me a new roof!! Especially since a friend made this house for me."

"pffft I'm not from here, I'm a bird actually, mhm definitely, I'll pay you back in sticks!" She jokes trying to lighten the mood.

Deadpaning at her excuse I just replied with a sentence even a child should understand "Look around" I was patient enough to let her "This house IS made of sticks and other stuff luckily you didn't destroy the shower system."

"yeah yeah" she says defeated and reaching into her pink backpack and pulling out some lien "ya win today kid" expecting me to go and buy the materials.

Taking the money before she can take it back and stuffing it into my pocket "Good then that means you can go grab the extra planks and glass at the back and fix it." 'Silly Lady?? Child?? Silly child thinking I wouldn't be prepared… Wait Why was she on my roof'

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

"HEY WAIT!! Why were you FALLING or on MY roof?"

"erm okay so I'm not from this universe, also hey I'm older than you! and do I have tooooooo? I don't wanna fix it" she whined not wanting to do the boring job of fixing a roof.

'Did she read my mind? No wait, focus.' "WAIT, WHAT!! You're OLDER than ME by what 2 years?" There was a pause before I said "And yeah you're right it's probably best if YOU dont fix it, you could make it worse." Saying that and looking at the massive hole.

"oh okay fuck you too" she says jokingly "also heyyyyyyyy I'm 14!" she then whispers "even Ruby thought I was younger…"

Just barely being able to hear Ruby's name before a flash of pain struck my head and all I could mutter was an unintelligent "Ruby?"

"erm ya, she's like my mom, but likely isn't the same one YOUR referring to" she says looking at the hole in the roof she made from falling.

"Riiiiggghhhhttttt… the whole different universe thing, thank god she's only 5 here… also its dimension actually if it was universe" I said sarcastically "then that would mean you're an alien."

"ooo…when you put it like that- just messing with ya, though…what if" she goes behind him and wiggles her fingers next to my head "I'm an alien woooo" pretending to be scary.

Unimpressed at the childish 14 year old, so all I did was reach into my right pocket then gripped the handle, aimed and fired a bullet from my Dagger-Gun that was aiming for her leg.

"...now you're lucky you're only 6 or you'd be six feet under…brat" she says a bit agitated

Smirking "Are you sure it isn't because I'm cuteeee?... Besides you have an aura and unless aliens are able to use an aura that shows your human presence then I'm sure you're not an alien, although your's is weird…" I carefully looked at her wondering why.

She grit’s her teeth knowing I’m onto her "That may be true but still you're 6 and also I just have a lot of it Is all.." she says not being a good liar as I could tell she’s lying.

"Rrriiiiggghhtt…" was all I said 'she is lying yet it's true that she does have a lot… best to be causeuse.' "Okay question, what are you going to do now? And I'm not going to be under your supervision, especially since you're more childish than me."

"wha-! *sigh* fair fair, anyway I plan to stick with ya for a bit hope ya don't mind, and if ya do too bad" she says patting her pockets looking for her portal scroll.

Staring questioningly at her as she starts patting… everywhere… on… her… so I turned my back and controlled the growing blush on my cheeks. "W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!"

"looking for my scroll!" she throws off her backpack and starts digging through it "no no no!" she panicked.

Hearing the backpack zip and the rustling of… something my mind when to a dangerous place "LOOK WILL YOU STOP PATTING YOURSELF OR TAKING YOUR CLOTHES OFF I HAVE A SPEAR SCROLL IN MY BACKPACK NEAR THE DOOR!" After I said that there was a pause that felt like forever…

"I'm not taking off my clothes, worms for brains! and it's a special scroll, one of a kind it's different" she says

"... S-Shut up… and besides if this scroll is so special then why didn't you make sure it's safe, also you were the one doing all that not to mention I don't even know your name?…"

She gets up "my name is Violet Snow and it was safe until I portaled here, when I fell it also fell out of my hand and went flying out of my hand, and I dunno your name either" she says offering me a cookie from her backpack.

Staring at the cookie hesitantly I take it and nibble a bit off finding that it tastes like chocolate-chip with strawberries. 'I Wonder if Ruby made this?' "As for my name I'm… I'm uuumm one sec." That is all I said before also patting myself trying to see if I could find any form of Identification.

Finding it and saying that "I'm Edgar, just Edgar born in vale and hoping to be a student in Signal… Nice to meet you I guess??"

"Signal hm? that's a good school, ya can do it!" she says smiling and finally grabbing her scroll from off the ground and saying "there ya are"

Turning around to see what she was talking about then quickly looking away… "What did you find on your Scroll?"

"nothing" she responds putting it safely in her pocket.

"Right… Soooo what now?" I said looking back at her with a questioning gaze. "Because I've still got Stuff to do… Fixing my roof for one." I said looking at the slowly darkening sky.

"I'll stay and help, besides, you're young and need sleep so" she responds, trying to act like an adult or something to a mother.

"Sigh. Look I'd appreciate the help but I've got the soul of a 21 year old… basically anyway… And unless you know how to run a business then you're really not much help. Though you can stay for a while I guess." I say this so I could keep a closer eye on her to make sure she doesn't do something in my sleep.

"mmmmm" is all she said, a bit uncertain "alright" she responds after a moment of time has passed.

"Great, then I hope you have a spare set of clothes since I really don't want to give someone else more of my clothes. Sigh, let's get to work." Grabbing a hammer and the planks and glass we started fixing the hole in the roof by the time we were done it was almost night time.

She jumps down to the ground "I would still like to apologise for the roof by the way" probably feeling guilty that I did most of the work.

"It's fine you paid me and even helped me fix the roof now if you don't mind I'm going to take the first shower since I didn't get a chance yesterday." During our time fixing the roof I opened up about myself telling her that I've been an orphan all my life and that the person who made the house was named Bob.

"Okay" she responds, her eyes fluttering probably from sleepiness.

"Right well I hope you know how to cook using a fire pit since the most modern thing here is the bathroom." going inside and grabbing a spare set of night wear since it was getting late then I hoped in the shower.

Violet P.O.V while Edgar is in the shower.

I sat on the floor and scroll through-well my scroll looking for an apartment to buy Edgar, eventually stopping and looking around.

I grab my backpack and take out a whole ton of cookies and snacks that Ruby packed for me and set them down next to where Edgar sleeps. I do the same with water and some more drinks as my backpack was loaded because of Ruby "Edgar…just who are you…?" I ask myself as although his act was good some parts don't add up.

Just then I swear I just heard humming coming from the bathroom who knew he could sing adding yet another mystery onto the list.
