The vision soon vanished and Jinn returned to the lamp with an apology.

"He killed her," Raven whispered, having given up trying to save Summer from the vision.

"He did," I said, not trying to deny it. She didn't remove herself from my arms. She just started crying into my shoulder.

"She didn't deserve it. I shouldn't have left her behind." She started crying. I rubbed her back soothingly.

It took her some time but she calmed down.

"He deserves to die," she whispered, still sniffling.

"He will suffer. Say the words and he will." I told her and I wasn't lying.

Even if she was just added to my peerage she is now my family.

"I want to make him pay with my own hands," she said, pushing herself away. "To do that I need more power."

"Which you will get," I told her looking toward the Winter Maiden who remained quiet throughout the ordeal.

"What is your answer? Do you allow me to have your powers?" I asked her to get back to the point at hand.

"I can see you are not like Ozpin. I'll allow you to take my powers." the old woman said.

She laid back down in the bed and closed her eyes with a smile on her face.

"It seems, I can finally rest and leave the rest to the next Maiden," she said while I walked up to her. "If I may ask who will be the next Maiden?"

"Raven, she will be both the Spring Maiden and the Winter Maiden," she said while I put my hand on her forehead.

"I see... a good choice," she said while I activated All for One Variation.

I felt a pull coming from her and her body started glowing a frosty blue. She didn't fight me and soon the frosty blue color started crawling up my arm and surrounded me. It seemed to focus on my eyes releasing a burning light.

I could sense that the old woman has passed away.

"Unite me with my sisters once again please." I heard a young female voice say.

"Don't give in to the pull of power. Life is better with family and power can cause you to be alone." the old woman's voice spoke up.

I knew she had passed away, so hearing her voice was surprising. The woman did explain that past wielders can talk to their new hosts. Which at the moment I was.

[Winter Maiden Host] - Host of one of the daughters of Ozpin and Salem. Her Winter Maiden powers course through you. She wishes to be reunited with her sisters once again. Along with all other hosts of the Winter Maiden powers.

I will try my best to make your wish come true.

"Thank you." the young female voice said.

Walking over to Raven, I grabbed her hand and started the process of giving her the powers of the Winter Maiden.

My eyes started glowing blue along with my body before a reverse process happened with the last maiden. It flowed from my body to hers. Her eyes lit up one red the other frosty blue.

[Winter Maiden Host Lost]

"I'm feeling a sense of happiness surge from my being," Raven said with a smile.

"That is two sisters who have wanted to meet for a very long time," I told her.

"I understand," Raven said, deactivating her eyes. "Let's not take any more detours. I'm sure that your family is waiting for you."

"No Raven, our family," I said, summoning another portal.

She seemed to think for a moment before nodding.

"Yes, our family," she said walking into the portal with me.

——————————

Coming out of my portal Raven and I were in my team's empty dorm room. Raven looked around and seemed to look... sad?

"Are you okay?" I asked Raven concerned.

"I'm just remembering the past. I never showed it to my brother, but Summer and I were close. We would sit up late often talking about boys, school, my past, or her past. Anything that we needed was there. Coming back here brought those memories back." Raven said, wiping her eyes with her sleeves. "I'm a horrible friend."

"I don't think... I can't say for certain if you were a horrible friend to her or not. I can say that I don't think she hated you. If she did, do you think she would have taken care of Yang?" I asked her, trying to be supportive. "Yang looks like a spitting image of you. Just with yellow hair. She probably reminded Summer of all the good times you had."

"Yeah, Summer never was the type to hold grudges. I just wish I could apologize," she said with a sigh.

"If you want to apologize. You can actually be a mother to Yang. Summer would have wanted that for you. Also, I'm sure she would be happy if you would be an Aunt for Ruby." I told her with a smile.

"I guess that is all I can do," she said. "What are we supposed to do with Ozpin though? He will find it suspicious if I start showing myself again. Especially if he finds out I'm a Winter and Spring Maiden."

"Who said anything about telling him?" I told her, smirking.

Looking in the shop I bought a necklace with true illusion magic. Which can change Raven's looks and make her voice sound different. The necklace had the added feature of allowing trusted people to see what is behind the illusion.

So, I'll be able to see Raven for who she is really and whoever Raven wants. The best thing was even with Ozpin being a wizard, he doesn't have the necessary skills to sense the magic behind it.

It might be strange for a fifth person to start hanging around my peerage, but Ozpin doesn't want to lose me or my team, so he will appease my every whim.
