Pyrrha looks down. "I..."
"Yeah. First time hearing it's pretty crazy," Qrow comments
Pyrrha turns her gaze from Qrow back to Ozpin again, amazed. "You're serious?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Ozpin asks.
"...No," Pyrrha struggles for the right words. "Why... why are you telling me this?" Pyrrha asks the Headmaster in front of her.
Ozpin glances at Qrow, who nods his approval, before looking into Pyrrha's eyes. "We are telling you this, Pyrrha Nikos, because we believe that you are next in line to receive the Fall Maiden's powers," Ozpin says.
Pyrrha's eyes grow wider and wider until she realizes. "We?" She asks.
At that moment, the elevator doors open, and she sees Glynda Goodwitch and General James Ironwood step out.
Ironwood as he straightens his tie and Glynda fixes her glasses. Sorry we're late.
Pyrrha was overwhelmed, narrowing her eyes at Ozpin. "Wait, what is this? Who are you?"
Glynda comes forward with Ironwood and Qrow, spreading her hands and trying to sound reassuring. "You know who we are. We're still the same teachers and Headmasters you met when you arrived at Beacon," Glynda says.
"Cept we've got a little part-time job," Qrow says.
"We are the protectors of this world," Ironwood says.
"And we need your help," Ozpin adds.
Pyrrha is shocked into silence as everyone in the room looks to her.
Cut to Pyrrha, looking nervous, in the elevator with the group of "protectors".
She looks at Ozpin and Glynda as if seeing them for the first time while a steady beeping signals each floor passed.
"Where are we going?" Pyrrha asks.
"The vault. Under the school," Ozpin answers his student.
The elevator continues downward through the vertical tunnel of dark green lights until it opens its doors and their passengers step out, with Pyrrha being the last to leave as she absorbs the sight of the large, sparsely-lit hallway she is now being lead through. Glynda waits up for her behind the others.
"I'm sure you must have questions." Glynda says.
Pyrrha was still taking it all in. "Maybe one, or two..." They continue on as she asks them. "I still don't understand. You said I was next in line to receive the Maiden's power. What do you mean by that?"
"The Maidens have existed for thousands of years. But much like in nature, the seasons change. No two summers are alike. When a Maiden dies, her power leaves her body and seeks out a new host, ensuring that the seasons are never lost, and that no individual can hold on to that power forever," Glynda explains.
"So, how does the power choose?" Pyrrha asks.
"Through a series of stupid and convoluted rules," Qrow answers.
"Qrow," Goodwitch scolds.
"Hey don't get mad 'cause I'm right." Qrow replies.
Goodwitch turns back to Pyrrha, explaining it all carefully. "At first, the only thing that was certain was that the powers were specifically passed on to young women. But as time went on, it was discovered that the selection process was much more... intimate,"
Pyrrha, concerned; now asks: "...Intimate?"
"As we understand it now, when a Maiden dies, the one who is in her final thoughts is the first candidate to inherit her power," Glynda says.
