Pyrrha is dead. She is based of Achilles, who died. Plus the VA confirmed it, and that Monty had planned it from the start. And I'm pretty sure by the end Jaune will die as well, since he is based of Joan of Arc, who died. In fact, every member of JNPR is based of a character who died (Mulan only dies in some versions of her stroy though, so Ren MIGHT live...but Nora gonna get offed by a King Taiju for sure, since Thor is killed by the poison of the World Serpent after killing it during Ragnorak.)

As for the Silver Eyes, it was alluded to all they way back in in Volume 1, with the "smaller, simpler" thing and the first thing Ozpin said to her. And from what the legend says, about how they were powerful enough to scare Grimm and how old the legend is, it seems they might have been the first Humans to fight Grimm, with others being inspired and quickly utilizing Aura and Dust to form Huntsmen, and with how rare the Silver Eyes were, they become nothing but a legend.

I also think Cinder might have used one of Salems gifts to her to teleport a defeated Ozpin to whatever the hell that place was. Unless Salem is really crazy and was just talking to herself during the whole scene...
