A few weeks ago, an explosion occurred on the island. With it came a new friend, the dusty old Qrow.

~Moana's POV~

    "There was an explosion on the far side of the island." The elders tell me. "I will go check it out", this is something I can do as to play my part on the island. Dad calls out to try to stop me, however, saying it is "too dangerous". Dangerous? There is practically nothing on the Island that we have to worry about, after all, we've been here for several generations. I am faster than him and manage to outrun him, arriving at the location where the explosion was said to occur. Although... I might get a lecture later though from Dad. Looking around, the only thing I found was strangely dressed man with a strange sword. On closer inspection, there was blood on the ground. This is not good. 

    When I took him to the village healers, they said "He has poison in his body. We will try to take it out, but what is being healed already is fast." Meanwhile Dad lectures me about "He could be dangerous", though he's near death, and "Didn't you see his weapon?", which is sharp.... or "What if whatever attacked him had still been there and attacked you too?" which I probably should have considered before anything else. At any rate, I have the perfect response: "It looks like we will have to wait for him to wake up before we know what happened, if there is danger to be found, then he is the only one who knows what it is. And in his current condition, he would be unable to attack us, we will just need to keep his weapon away from him until we know more." All throughout his sleep, he kept mumbling, some words incoherent, others were... sad. "I'm sorry.. she's not coming back", "Tai..", and even shouting what could only be name, "Ruby!" And after a few days, he woke up.
