AN: So I've been super busy and Blake's Mentor is kinda dead (for now) so I decdied to start writing this! Hope you enjoy it!

It was cold.

Bitterly so.

Even in her victory, she was cold.

The White Frost was gone. The world, no, the universe was saved.

And yet, Ciri was cold.

She didn't know exactly what she did to hold it, or destroy it, or whatever she did. All she knew was that it was gone. She smiled despite the pain and exhaustion she felt, a single tear rolled down her cheek as she ponders that she may never see anyone she loved, ever. She squeezed her hands in a clenched fist, tight enough that her finger nails dug deeply into her palm.

"Vesemir..."

As she stared into the yawning maw of the abyss, she found her whole body being claimed by the cold of the void. She forced her eyes open, as much as it pained her, only to see darkness. Ciri wandered if anyone could find her if she could even save herself. Traveling between worlds entirely was a difficult feat, one that required energy.

"Yennefer..."

Ciri had to try. She could not leave anything to chance. Even if the world would be alien to her she had to try. She summoned what energy she had remaining, her whole body began to warm despite the freezing abyss around her. A dull green glow enveloped her, though it began to grow brighter, more radiant.

"Geralt..."

Finally, she had to screw her eyes shut, the glow becoming too bright, even for her eyes.

"I love you..."

And with that Ciri disappeared from the void she created.

"Ruby."

Ruby snapped around to see a concerned Jaune laying down near the campfire. She nearly had fallen asleep, again. She couldn't, not while she was on watch. Rubbing the sleep out of her left eye she squinted at Jaune.

"Oh, need something?"

"My turn for the watch."

Ruby shook her head. "No, no, I got it, go back to sleep."

Jaune sighed. "Ruby get some sleep."

"I don't need it..."

Jaune rose from his sleeping bag and put a hand on her shoulder. "Ruby. You don't have to do everything. We're a team."

Ruby sighed. "Alright..."

Ruby stood up and gave Jaune her seat on the tree stump she had been sitting on. The young huntress let out a loud yawn and wandered over to the campfire, falling onto Jaune's sleeping bag.

"Um, Ruby, that's mine." Jaune tried to stop her but she was already getting inside it.

"Too bad," Ruby replied in a very tired tone. "Besides, it's cold out, and yours is already warm."

"Yeah," Jaune replied passively seeing his breath fog.

Wait, what? Jaune did a double take. He did it again, blowing hard, sure enough, a thick cloud came from his mouth. It was well into spring, heck, it was summer! The swordsman begun to shiver, he saw frost forming on his armor. Something wasn't right. The air was getting colder, and it even began to... Snow? Something then caught his eye, he looked down the hill they were camped on. About two or three miles away he could see a dull green glow.

"Uh, guys..."

He then began to hear something, like a wailing. The glow begun to grow brighter, it's origin was soon clear. It looked like a ball of... Something? Jaune wasn't sure, but whatever it was it wasn't good. It grew bigger, brighter, and the distant wailing grew louder with it.

"Guys!" Jaune turned to his team, RNJR to see that some begun to get up.

First was Ruby, of course, who was already readying Crescent Rose. "What is-" Ruby then saw the glow. "What is that?"

Next came Nora who saw the snow first and, of course, proclaimed "Yeah! Snow! Wait... Snow?"

Ren came next who looked equally puzzled. "What's going-" Then the wailing became more permanent Nora then suddenly lept to Ren, her arms wrapping around him tightly. Jaune noted she genuinely looked frightened. Jaune turned and looked, the ball was now like a second sun, the wailing so loud he covered his ears.

Then finally it ended, with a bang. A whoosh of wind slammed into RNJR's camp, dousing the flames of their campfire and knocking the team flat on their backs. Jaune brushed the ice and snow off his face and stood up.

"Is everyone okay?" Jaune asked looking around the camp.

Ruby raised a frost covered hand, giving a thumbs up. "Cold, but alive!"

"Same!" Nora proclaimed.

"I'm alright!" Ren said.

Jaune nodded and turned to where the glow was, to see it was their had once been trees was nothing but a frozen wasteland. Jaune was about to say something along the lines of 'what the hell was that' when Ruby started running towards ground zero. Jaune reached out trying to grab her before she ran in but she was already beyond his grasp.

"Okay, so we're going in. I guess."

Jaune and the rest of team RNJR hurried behind Ruby as fast as they could. Jaune was now not liking that Ruby's semblance was speed. Yes, it was very, very useful in combat, making Ruby a valuable asset, but it also meant Ruby was always the first to everything. Always going ahead, without backup. Jaune worried that she might one day go into a fight she couldn't handle.

The huntsman shook his head, he had to focus. Dashing through the frozen waste he saw it was just trees that were affected by the sudden, icy, blast. Animals, even a lone beowulf was frozen solid by whatever did this. As got to the center the cold was damn near unbearable, he found it hard to breathe the cold air he looked around for any signs of Ruby.

"Ruby!" He called out, Nora and Ren coming to Jaune's side. "Crap. Where did she-"

"I found someone!" Ruby cried out. "I think... Yeah! Yeah, she's alive guys!"

Jaune squinted through the frozen mist to see Ruby coming from the center, a girl, about their age, being supported her shoulders. The most striking thing about her was her bone white hair and the long sword on her back. Was she a huntress? Jaune wondered but soon found himself at Ruby's side supporting the unknown girl. She had a long scar running from her fore head, across her left eye, and down into her cheek. With a white shirt which was tucked into leather pants that were held by an ornate looking belt.

"Damn, she's cold..." Jaune murmured. "We got to get her out of her."

Coming back to their campsite, they lit a new fire and dusted away the frost. While it was no longer bitterly cold, team RNJR, plus their unconscious charge, huddled around the fire. The girl herself seemed to be dreaming about something. Jaune noted that her eyes were darting every which direction.

"Who... Who do you think she is?" Nora decided to break the silence.

Ren offered the first explanation. "Maybe she's a huntress. Might've just unlocked her semblance."

"I've never seen a semblance change the weather," Ruby said shivering, fully entangled in her cloak. "I mean... Maybe with dust?"

"Yeah but," Jaune began pointing back to the epicenter with his thumb, "Who has THAT much dust?"

"Maybe will figure that out when she wakes up," Ruby said looking her over. She paused at the girl's sword and got that all too familiar 'I want to know more' look on her face.

"Ruby," Jaune said pointing at her. "No."

"But... I mean. It could've been damaged in the explosion." She said sheepishly tried to justify.

Jaune gave her a flat look. "Ruby. No."

The girl then seemed to sink deeper into her cloak. The team of young hunters sat around the burning flame. The team of young hunters all still stared at the unconscious girl, all thinking up wild theories of who she was and where she came from. Jaune had his own ideas; though he kept them to himself. He figured he would be able to ask her when she woke up.

Speaking of.

Jaune nearly lept out of his sleeping bag when the mystery girl awake, gasping for air.

Oh, and then went into a full dead sprint.

"Hey! Wait!" Jaune chased after her, RNJR in tow.

Whoever it didn't seem well coordinated. She tripped over herself multiple times, crawling back up into a sprint. Eventually, she came to a halt, she staring up at the sky. Jaune looked to Ruby as if to ask what was the plan, too which Ruby gave a puzzled shrug. The swordsman then decided maybe it was best to try and speak with her.

"Uh, hey, you alright?"

The girl didn't seem to reply, her neck was craned back, looking up at the moon.

"Um, hello?!" Nora then decided to help. "Miss Ice Bomb?! What're you looking at?"

There was a silence before the girl finally spoke. "The moon..."

"Um, yeah, it's the moon, been up there for a while." Jaune said looking at Ruby with a 'What the heck is going on?' look.

"But... Why is it broken?" The girl said again.

"Umm. Cause it, always has been." Ruby stated.

At that, the girl then turned around and gave each member of Team RNJR a once over before saying. "Oh no..."

"Um, what's wrong?" Jaune asked, no a little concerned.

"I'm not..." The mystery girl began to stagger. "Home."

At that last word, she began to fall. Without thinking Jaune rushed forward and grabbed her before she hit the ground, she had passed out, again.

"What do you think she meant?" Ren asked.

Jaune shook his head. "I don't know... We should get to the nearest village, chances are she needs a doctor."

"Well if I remember the map correctly..." Ruby gave Nora a look of disapproval before continuing. "The next town is only a few miles down the road. Heck, I could even use my semblance to get there!"

"No, no unnecessary aura use." Jaune looked over the crater that the mystery girl made. "We got to stay on our toes."
