Here are my conclusions. I think its safe to say that the Pyrrha talking to Ozpin and group is the real one. Pyrrha standing in the ring looks conflicted, and if it had been Neo she would have had to magically remove Pyrrha illusion to create the Merc illusion (assuming Neo is the one that made the illusion). Don't believe that Pyrrha will get the power but if she does (and if the fact that she is the first one taken out in the intro has anything to do with Season 3) then she may lose it (in a process that will upset us greatly).



Also believe that Summer Rose was a maiden at the​ time of her death (pretty obvious conclusion) but if she wasn't then why would Qrow be one of the key people to know this secret (unless Raven has it). Would make since if Ozpin was either the old man from the story or somehow connected to the old man. For one people don't believe he is old yet he constantly hints he is, and two his name doesn't follow the Color Naming Rule which was established 80 years prior (and has been applied to every other character). Another good point is that the old man gave extraordinary powers to 4 individuals, much like the Wizard of Oz.



A possible thought that eye color hints the maidens' season came to my mind. Ozpin noticed Ruby's eyes when they first met, since they are silver it may be that Summer was actually the winter maiden. (Just a thought that would be ironic) If Ruby is one of the maidens (she probably does not know)it would explain why she got into Beacon so early.
