Unwanted Answers To Unwanted Questions

Jaune sat on a cliff near Solus, a town to which he later found out was miles south of Vale, staring at the scenery in front of him with a dazed look on his face. Thinking that this entire ordeal is just a nightmare hallucination created by his dying mind, "A world where Salem rules... Heh what a nightmare." Thought to himself bitterly.

It's been a day since he regained his consciousness enough to time to wish he hadn't, as he silently sat their thinking of the worst a young voice  interrupted those thoughts. "Mr Jaune Sammy said it's time for dinner!" Turning towards the source of the voice Jaune saw a 13 year old girl with short dark hair and onyx eyes. Wearing a simple shirt and shorts underneath a short skirt, giving the girl a smile he replied "thanks Revy, tell her I'll be there in a sec".

The girl who's now known as Revy, gave him a smile and a nod before running back down the village. "How the hell did it come to this?" He asked himself out loud remembering the events yesterday when he regained his consciousness.

....... Flashback to yesterday

".... Ake-....... Psst-....... Hey-..... Up-...." Jaune heard a very distinct squeaky female voice calling him repeatedly, opening his eyes slightly he see nothing with his bleary vision. Thinking nothing of it he went back to sleep.

"... Hey wake-..... Up!-.......WAKE UP!!!" the voice came back again but now screaming in his ear causing him to jolt off presumably a bed that he was sleeping on, now on the floor he looked at the person who screamed on his ear whilst holding his head in pain. "Ffffff-!!!, what's your deaaaaaaaaaaaaal-!!!." His voice trailed off seeing the person, or rather thing in front of him.

In front of him was a floating ornate orb with triangles floating around it, Jaune stared at it and the orb thing stared back at him. "Honestly I expected a different reaction from you!, But eh what the hell!" The orb said cheerfully out of nowhere. Jaune kept staring at the orb in confusion "my name Ghost and I am your personal-!, What hey!- ouch stop that!!!". Jaune ignored the complaining orb in front of him in favor of repeatedly poking it.

"Strange, you don't look like something Jimmy and his cronies would come up with." Jaune started while still poking the Orb who's now trying to dodge, "you look too..... How should I say it.... Cool and flashy?, Yeah cool and flashy ,
let's go with that. Too cool and flashy for them to make. And what's your name again? "Boat" was it?" he added. Before being rammed in the face by the orb.

"IT'S GHOST!!! AND WOULD YOU LET ME FINISH TALKING?!?", The orb or rather Ghost shoufedt angrily at Jaune. Who just clutched his face in pain, "Good now that you've shut up as I was saying, My name is Ghost and I am a reward by the brother Gods for beating Salem. And i will be assisting and guiding you through your future endeavors!" Ghost added cheerfully. Jaune who now stopped clutching his face stared at her with eyes of horror hearing the words "brother Gods" and "reward". And remembering what the people said earlier before the passed out.

"Reward you say?...." Jaune asked Ghost weakly, making her tilt to her side in confusion, "Why do you sound disheartened?, Is the reward not satisfactory?" She asked him with an innocent tone of voice. Tears began to fall on Jaune's eyes and making Ghost blink taken aback by his actions. "Oh are those tears of joy I see?!, The reward was so good it drove you to tears." Ghost suddenly said proudly. Clearly misunderstanding the tears streaming down his face.

Hearing those words from Ghost only caused Jaune to cry slightly more, "I'm in a town where Salem is considered a Goddess!!!, How is that a reward?!?" He angrily said to Ghost. "And my friends back in Atlas......" Then suddenly something clicked on his mind "Atlas!! Ghost I gotta back to Atlas!!, To my friends!!" He desperately said while grabbing Ghost and shaking her in his hands.

"Calm down!!! Let me explain something else first!!" Said Ghost, "this isn't Remnant!!" She added which caused Jaune to freeze. "What?" He quietly said his face contorting back to confusion. "This isn't  Remnant, or your version of Remnant to be precise!". She said in a matter of fact voice. Jaune gave her perplexed look "And?" He asked.

"And what?" Ghost asked back in confusion, "What do you mean "And What?"?!?, I mean and what about the rest of your explanation?!?" He angrily asked her, she can only blink in response before snorting a laugh a little as if nothing had happened. "Oh yeah, in this version Salem took complete control of Remnants political and religious factions. Permanently solidifying her title as "The Eternal Queen", the ruler and Goddess of Remnant and with Ozma as her religions equivalent of the Devil." Ghost explained calmly.

Jaune could only silently listen, before asking "why?" He asked Ghost. "Why what traveler?" She asked back. "You said that this is a reward from the God's right? Then why send me here?, To a place where my greatest enemy rule over my home?" Jaune added. Ghost just floated there "You're guess is good as mine, even I don't know what's going on inside the heads of my Creator's. Maybe they sent you here knowing that you'll oppose Salem and help the people gain there freedom from her rule, but knowing them I could be anything." She said in reply, Jaune had a conflicted expression on his face as if contemplating on his next move.

"I see....." Jaune trailed off, before his face turned to that of determination turning his gaze on Ghost he said with solemn determination,"Ghost tell the history and customs of this world, cause we're going to Beacon." Ghost could only stare at Jaune "Um about that...." She said in an uneasy tone. "Yeah I'm gonna have to explain something else" she added while laughing weakly.

Back to Present time.............

Jaune stared at the the cliff before sighing again, "15 year old body and quote unquote "rare for males to have aura" huh?, Well in that case I'm gonna have to make due. And maybe build up a reputation maybe?" He spoke to himself, and suddenly Ghost materialized beside him in a smoky hazy light "You done talking to yourself wise guy? If so you better hurry up before dinner's gone." She said before disappearing in the same way she appeared. "Well I'm never getting tired of that," Jaune said before standing up. "I wonder what's for dinner" he added while walking down towards the village.

Meanwhile in another location, in the wilderness somewhere in the outskirts. A dark figure silhouette can be sitting inside a tent their red eyes glowing in the dark "What did you said to me?" A commanding female voice coming from the dark figure said to a familiar bandit that was writhing on the floor in pain. "He said that you were a coward ma'am" the bandit said to the figure with fear in his voice, "And said to never raid Solus again...." The bandit added on the ground.

"My.... He insulted me now he challenges us?, I don't know if he's brave or stupid." the figure said in snide amusement. Before standing up from her seat walking towards the bandit who's now squirming fearfully on the ground. "And seeing as this person has insulted me and in turn insulted and challengeed the tribe openly, then I Raven Branwen leader of the Branwen tribe, shall respond in kind." the figure that is revealed to be Raven stopped in front of the down bandit. Staring at him before beheading him with her sword.

"Tomorrow at the earliest break if light, we shall head upon Solus's gates and pillage and plunder. And with any luck the fool who dared challenge us will kneel in front us begging!!!" She declared to the members if her tribe, with the sound of cheering can be heard through out the wilderness moments after her declaration.
