In an empty blackness, Qrow's voice can be heard.
Qrow: The City of Mistral...
Nora: Ugh! It's about time!
Qrow, Zach, Team RNJR, Rin, and the Percival Twins are walking through a stone brick tunnel illuminated by translucent lanterns.
Nora: Whose idea was it to walk again?
Ren: Well, we did face many obstacles. Broken airships, destroyed settlements...
Jaune: Oh, and, you know, all those people and monsters that tried to murder us.
Rin: Not to mention the amount of information that was thrown at us.
Ruby: Pfft, we were fine. (looking at Qrow with a smile) Only one of us almost died.
Qrow: Hey.
Zach: Well, it's the truth.
Briana: You're lucky our dad's a doctor.
Nora puts her hands on her hips and looks at Ren.
Ren: (looking at Nora) Hey.
Nora giggles in response.
Jaune: So, how much farther to Haven Academy?
Qrow: Almost there. But I figured I'd take you kids on the scenic route.
The group approaches a pair of large, wooden double doors, which Qrow opens, flooding the tunnel with sunlight. Ruby runs out onto a massive platform that doubles as an elevator, stopping at the railing to gaze out over the city in wide-eyed awe.
Ruby: Wow!
The others join her to take in the view of buildings and stone stairways perched on mountains.
Ruby: This... is... awesome!
Below them, large crowds of people are going about their day - walking around, talking and buying merchandise legally and illegally.
Qrow: It's certainly something.
Ruby: (noticing a kiosk selling weapons) Oh my gosh, look at all the weapons!
Elena: The weapons of Haven are very well made. That's what makes our home very popular.
Qrow: Vendors here'll sell you just about anything... whether they should or not.
Jaune: They really made the most out of these mountains.
Elena: Anima is mostly a flat land, it's natural to make a city along natural fortifications, like mountains.
Qrow: Every inch. Stay away from the lower levels. The higher up you go, the nicer it gets.
Nora: And we are going up! (pointing upward)
An Atlesian cargo airship flies over an enormous lake.
Weiss: So, how much farther?
