6 Months After the Attack On Beacon
Around the Evernight Castle horde of Grimm emerges from within the pool slime, with Mercury and Emerald watching from inside the castle. Emerald has her hand to her mouth while Mercury seems slightly disgusted. then Cinder who is injured and lost one eye, snaps her finger, with three people sitting at the table with seven chairs. the other three are Arthur Watts. who is looking at his Scroll. Next is the man to Cinder's right, Tyrian Callows. He sits in a crouch casually on his chair, resting his arms on his knees, and across from Tyrian is Hazel Rainart. His arms are crossed, and he looks asleep. Cinder sits quietly, while Mercury and Emerald move to her side. Emerald nudges Mercury out of her way so that she can be directly next to Cinder.
"Yes, yes, please keep your posse in check." Watts said Mercury grunted and makes a move toward Watts, but Emerald holds him back. "You hear that?" Watts asked, "Silence." he said
Hazel gives Watts an unimpressed sideways glance.
"I've half a mind to thank the boy that bested you." Watts said
"If I were you, I'd hunt him down." Tyrian said, "Find him and, well, he took your eye, didn't he?" he asked
Cinder only stares at Tyrian while he cackles at her. Cinder tries to speak but only manages to make quiet exhaling noises. Emerald leans in to hear her.
"Pathetic. Why did you even—" Watts said
There is a sound of a heavy metal door being unlatched. The doors open and everyone stands just before Salem enters. She glides alongside the table with soft footsteps before reaching the head of it, jewels jangling from her hair. Salem stops, facing away from them and toward a candle and crystal display.
"Watts." Salem said Watts straightens, looking toward her. then turn "Do you find such malignance necessary?" she asked then she gestures for all to sit down.
"I apologize, ma'am. I'm not particularly fond of failure." Watts said then he and Salem sit simultaneously.
"Then I see no reason for your cruelty towards young Cinder." Salem said, "She's become our Fall Maiden, destroyed Beacon Tower, and most importantly, killed dear Ozpin." she said, "So I'm curious, to what failures are you referring?" she asked
"Well, the boy with the white hair and his teammate." Watts said
"Yes. We've never dealt with their kind before." Hazel said, "Still how is it a novice was able to best one of us?" he asked
"My thoughts exactly." Watts said, "Even without her new power, it should have been effortless." he said
"It is because of the Maiden's power." Salem said, "Make no mistake, Cinder, you hold the key to our victory." she said, "But your newfound strength brings with it a crippling weakness." she said, "Which is why you will remain by my side as we continue your treatment." she said
Cinder is unhappy about this and lowers her head. Emerald looks at her in sympathy.
"Dr. Watts, you are to take Cinder's place and meet with our informant in Mistral." Salem said
