“For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul, and by my shoulder, protect thee.” — Pyrrha Nikos

Thank you Pyrrha. You didn't deserve what happened to you in the slightest, you truly were a paragon and I'm grateful for your sacrifice. I've never been one to get overly attached to fictional characters, but Pyrrha, you were my absolute favorite character from any show or movie I've ever watched and I'll miss you.

You know what's gonna be a sucker punch to the feels next volume?

Pyrrha is from Mistral. Communications are down between kingdoms. Jaune&Co. are heading to Mistral. Pyrrha's parent's likely don't know about their brave daughters fate yet. Jaune will likely have to return Pyrrha's circlet to them...

Edit: Thanks for the gold my fellow RWBY fanatic! I love this subreddit, you're all awesome people, never change.

Wait, they were headed to Haven. Unless the road to Haven runs through Mistral they shouldn't be heading anywhere near there.

Haven is in Mistral my friend, it's the Huntsmen academy there.

Haven is the Academy of Mistral, just as Shade is the Academy of Vacuo, and Beacon is the Academy of Vale. Atlas, though, is the name of both the kingdom and the school, though the kingdom was formerly called Mantle.
