@WC-83: Agreed, prophecy seems a little far-fetched.

Anyways, now I conclude my epic story arc.

Ruby finally overcomes the shock of seeing a grim talk and decides to head into the cave the grim entered. There, she sees an enormous variety of grim, all close together and looking at her. Ruby asks them why they spared her, to which, a scorpius answers "because you were no different from us. You were hated by man, if only for a moment, just like us. Ruby then asks if they know anything about her, to which they reply, we know all there is to know about you. And we have a. Gift for you.

The grim then unveil a key, which they promptly give to Ruby. Ruby notices that it looks like it could open a door in beacon, to which the grim remark "and with it, your destiny." Confused, Ruby heads outside. There, she drinks some water from the spring, and eats some of the berries. Noticing that the basilisk has returned, she asks what its name is, to which it replies "You may call me Serpenta. But you must listen. The storm is clearing, and when it does, your friends will find you. Now I must go. Do not forget this day, for it will be important in the future. AND DO NOT LOSE THE KEY." Sure enough, the storm ends and the monsters retreat. Ruby is soon found by her team and team JNPR. As the take Ruby back, they ask her what happened, to which Ruby says that she was attacked by grim, but escaped, while the creatures were scared away by the storm.

Later that night, Ruby is looking at the key, wondering what it opens. She then hides it when Weiss and Glynda come in. Both admit that they are sorry for treating Ruby badly, which Ruby takes as an apology and forgives them. Glynda seems a little off when she is apologizing, since this much rarer an occurrence for her than it is for Weiss. Ruby finds this very amusing. Meanwhile, in the cave, the grim discuss the meeting with Ruby. All of seem to know something about Ruby they didn't tell her. Here, Serpenta remarks that "She has no idea who she really is.
