Qrow sat near them, they all looked at him as he pulled out his flask and took a quick swig from it before putting it away. He looked to them and saw all their faces, it almost felt as if he was looking at their faces because they all looked like his friends when they were being told the truth. Jaune had returned with Arslan over his back a few minutes before all of them gathered in an abandoned and somewhat destroyed house.

"I'm sure your all aware now of what you're looking for, that Woman, Cinder Fall, she's not normal" Qrow began

Nora scoffed, "We Know, she blew the CCT tower to Dust in a second"

"I don't mean that any trained huntsmen with enough Aura or a semblance like that could easily do the same" Qrow replied "what she posses is the power of the Fall Maiden"

"The fall Maiden?" Neo asked, "Like the stories?"

Qrow nodded, "You see, as you know, Four sisters met a lonely old man, teaching him how to love the things around him, in Return, the Man gave the Sisters Magic, hoping to give them the power to help the world," Qrow said "however when they died, the Magic didn't die with them, instead, it went to the last person they thought of"

"So is that why Pyrrha was so shaken, why she seemed conflicted before the finales?" Nora asked, "because she was being asked to become one of them?"

Qrow sighed, "Yes"

They all looked in horror,

"H-How could you let something like this happen?" Ruby asked her uncle

Qrow looked to her, "there are somethings that you still don't know about Kiddo, some things that are better left untold"

"like Salem?" Yang asked with a glare

"Ok! I've had enough of this!" cried Nora

They all looked to her, she had anger on her face, tears were also seen in her eyes. They had never seen Nora looking so Conflicted

"Enough with the Seacrets! Enough with the lies! Just tell us what is going on!" Nora cried "How many more of us have to die until we know something!?"

Qrow sighed, "it's not that simple"

"It is that simple" Jaune said

Qrow turned to him, then everyone else did,

"If Qrow won't do it, then I will, Salem isn't someone we can easily beat, Salem is the Queen of Grimm, she and Ozpin have been fighting for years, more then Qrow could ever know," Jaune said

"yeah this brings up another question," Yang said, "How do you know about this Jaune?" Yang asked

"Yeah, and why haven't you told us this as well?" Arslan asked

"Because if he did he have to explain something else..." Blake began

Qrow turned to them, "what do you mean?"

Jaune sighed, "There's a reason why I can take on traits of Grimm, why I can sense other's emotions, why I have more than one semblance, It's not a semblance at all... It's magic, and it all came from Salem"

Qrow looked at him, "so does that mean your one of her puppets to?" Qrow asked

"No, I've never met her... but she is related to me," Jaune said,

"and how is that?" Yang asked, "how are you related to her?"

Jaune sighed, "She's my Ancestor, Salem's full Name is Salem Ark. She meat my Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather and they fell in love, However, Salem was created before that, she was one of the first men" Jaune said
