back in the day matched swords were so difficult to get exactly perfect that people that dual wielded would always put the same sword in the same hand to keep the feel consistent, this also led to people that couldn't afford a matched set to just use completely different swords if they are going to have a side anyway, this greatly devalued matched sets. later on it became standard to switch them between hands regularly so the difference would never cause them a handicap in battle, bc in some cases it definitely could, this realization/evolution (well, rediscovering, Spartans trained everything ambidextrously bc of course they did, they are now immortal to time and everyone will forever know their name, their religion was kinda right for them, if that makes sense.) anyway this re-realization/evolution of training caused matched swords to come round circle and be the most popular and now technology could much more easily crank out very perfectly matched swords. kinda cool, and it makes simple sense, train ambidextrously if you are going to war, you might lose an arm and need to keep going, and its standard training for good militaries to this day.

In the book, at one point in the story, the warrior actually creates a flash of light using her silver eyes in order to save the boy from the Grimm. It's technically not explained what happened, just that "a brilliant white light flooded the woods" and that "a moment later, the warrior woman appeared", but anyone would easily be able to figure out that the flash must've been created from silver eyes, and so that the warrior woman must have silver eyes.

This really does bring some stuff into the light. Summer didn’t have anyone and wanted to shelter herself, pretty much had an empty feeling inside. But when she met and grew closer to Tai-yang, that joy that was missing from her life was brought back, and was given even greater meaning with their children, a joy she wanted to protect. And that strong sense of justice she had even before she met him was given a new and greater meaning, a purpose, and it was something she carried with her when facing Salem. Now that’s simple but effective storytelling at it’s finest

This was not Summer.

@@HighblueStar1412 how do you know?

[@HighblueStar1412]

@@francisfatta Because this is a fairy tale, A famous Fairy tale in remnant. This Story was told by Ozpin in the book "RWBY: Fairy tales of remnant" which this animation is based upon. In the original book, the silver eyed warrior didn't even have black hair, it was a different design. Whats happening here is that Tai probably is doing some projecting and imagining the characters as looking like summer and him, but is not them. The fairy tale is older than Team STRQ, and the silver eyed warrior in the story in older than the protagonist, which is not the case for Tai and Summer.

[@HighblueStar1412]

@@francisfatta You can check the other Fairy Tales that the animation is going to cover in the Wikia of RWBY if you want. Also, in the original story, the warrior actually uses her silver eyes againts the grimm at one point, instead of just fighting.

[@HighblueStar1412]

As one final point, Tai's projecting in the Fairy Tale is probably happening because he misses her, since its safe to assume that Summer at this point of their lives is dead.

Omg that ending was so very wholesome ❤️😖 it gave me a heart squeeze

The irony when Ruby has more personality as a cameo than she does as a protagonist hurts.

Peeps are talking about how the boy in the story is Tai, but I feel he looks more like Jaune or pre-Grimm Salem.

My God people This is not how Thai and summer met This is a fairy tale Story Of different people

[@jakeblitzcoffie4859]

I would believe that, if not for the several similarities. It doesn't make sense to use characters in this story that look like a younger Tai and Summer. It's not like it's impossible for parts of this story to be true, and some parts not as Ozpin said when talking about The Shallow sea. There are actually many parallels to what we have been told about Summer in Rwby Proper.
