Jaune, Blake, and Ren walked out of the tunnel and headed to where the White Fang and remaining Silverhand had been stationed. They walked in only to be surrounded by White Fang, who painted their guns at them, but they put their hands up and Jaune stepped in front of them.
"My Names Jaune Arc, I'm here to make an agreement with Adam" Jaune told the White Fang
they lowed their guns and lead them to Adam's tent. Two of the soldiers followed them into Adam's tent. Adam turned to see the three of them. He was surprised to see Blake
"Blake, Nice to see you," Adam said with a smile
"Adam" was Blakes only reply
Adam and Jaune sat down on a makeshift table. Adam had two men standing behind him while Jaune had Ren and Blake behind him.
"Jaune Black... You did well and you Fought hard. Hell, you even killed some of our strongest men! One of our Elephant Faunas went into your tunnel and never came out again. Mag the Mighty, I think his name was"
Jaune sat back in the chair and looked to Adam "He's dead. He killed a couple of my men" Jaune told Adam
"He was a great fighter," Adam told Jaune
Jaune nodded in response. Jaune, as much as he hated it, had Respected Adam.
Adam looked to the Woman soldier on his left "Kullback, could I trouble you for something to eat? I don't imagine our guest has eaten anything in quite some time" Adam said
She nodded and headed outside the tent to get food. Adam was smiling at seeing Jaune here, Adam was a man of patience but he didn't forgive Jaune's backstabbing.
Adam leaned closer to the table and looked at Jaune, "So, You're here to strike a bargain?" Adam asked
Jaune looked back at the redheaded Faunas "Turn your army around and go home"
Adam chuckled and then sighed, "you know as well as I do that I can't do that"
"Is this really worth getting your men killed?"
"You know I know you're low on ammunition, You're low on food. You're low on men. How many are left? 500? 100?" Adam asked
Jaune Knew he was right. Adam saw the look on Jaune's face and knew the truth.
"I showed you everything I had. The whole army, a hundred thousand strong, and what did you do? You fired on us with everything you had. It wasn't much. Soon as I saw that I sent four hundred men to climb the wall. An unmanned stretch five miles west of here. A lot of them will die climbing, but most of them will be over by the end of the day. This is me being honest with you, Commander Black, which is more than you've ever done for me. My people have bled enough. We're not here to conquer, we're here to hide behind your wall just like you. We need your tunnel. Wanna strike a bargain with me? Here's a bargain. You go back, you open the gates to us and I swear to you that no one else will die. Refuse and we'll kill every last man in the Fort" Adam told Jaune
Jaune put his hand on his sword and Ren hand his hand on his guns and Blake was going for Gamble Shroud but Adam was going for his sword while the soldier on his right was going for his gun.
Adam stood up and looked to Jaune "Ah! Oh, that's why you're here. I bet you could do it before any of them could stop ya. They'd kill you, of course, they'd kill you slowly, but you knew that when you came in here. Are you capable of that?" Adam asked
Before anyone could do anything, they all heard yelling from outside and shots being heard and Everyone scrambles. Adam draws his sword to Jaune's neck
"You attacking us?" Adam asked
Jaune backed up "No, it's like you said, we don't have the men," Jaune told him
They got outside to see everyone run around frantically. soldiers on motorcycles ride toward them. some were killing the other soldiers.
Adam looked to the men around him "To me! To me!" Adam yelled and some of the men grouped up alongside Adam, Jaune, Blake, and Ren.
The Bikers continue toward them and any White Fang that fought back they killing all in their path.
"Stand down! I said my people have bled enough and I meant it!" Adam yelled and he dropped his sword
as did every other White Fang soldier with Adam. Jaune and co put their weapons away and saw a Jeep ride up toward Adam. From out of the Jeep came Cinder Fall, the Queen of Mistral herself. She walked right up to Adam
"You're the king beyond the wall?" Cinder asked
Adam nodded and looked at her up and down, "I am, and you're a bit overdressed for the weather here" Adam told her.
"You remember me?" Cinder asked
"Never had the pleasure to Remember anyone that didn't seem interesting" Adam told her
"Watch your mouth!" Yelled a guard next to Cinder "This is Queen Cinder Fall of Mistral
"We're not in the Mistral and as I said before, you're overdressed for this weather," Adam told her and the Guard
Cinder Smirked "It is customary to kneel when surrendering to a Queen" Cinder told him
Adam just looked at her with a smug smile, "Sorry to tell you, But I don't kneel to anyone"
"Then I'll have thousands of your men in chains by nightfall, I'll have nowhere to put them and nothing to feed them. I'm not here to slaughter beat dogs. Their fate depends on their king..." Cinder said but she said this with a straight face
"All the same" Adam told her "we do not kneel"
"Take these men away," Cinder said and her Guards did what she ordered, she then looked to Jaune and his Friends, "What are men of the Blue Fang doing in a White Fang camp?" Cinder asked
"we were sent to discuss terms with the king beyond the wall," Jaune told her
"You're speaking to the Queen of Mistral boy" the Guard hissed "You'll address her as your grace"
Jaune nodded, "forgive me, Your Grace" Jaune said
Cinder nodded, she then looked back to Adam
"What do you think I do with him?" Cinder asked
Jaune looked at Adam and then back to Cinder
"I was that man's prisoner once. He could've tortured me, he could've killed me, but he spared my life. I would've taken him, prisoner, listened to what he had to say" Jaune told her
Cinder nodded and ordered her men to take Adam to Fort Petra and Cinder walked to her cheep but Jaune stopped her
"Your Grace" Jaune said
Cinder looked at him
"If you saw the things I'd seen, I should also tell you to burn the bodies..."
