Chapter 3 4. Chapter 4 5. Chapter 5. Several weeks had passed, nothing had happened. No Salem coming back to life, no attack from Cinder. Nothing… the whale had vanished, and all Remnants of the witch had evaporated. It was as if… everything was well again?
And eventually they came to an understanding with Ironwood, with the tensions dropping, he was able to relax. Eventually reinforcements came, and the wicked witch of the west had been captured. By that he meant Cinder of course, she had been lost, found writhing in agony as her grimm arm seemed to have literally popped. Ozpin had given insight into the situation, that it had been tied to Salem. And… if it was gone, and Cinder no longer had the powers she once had, then that meant that she was gone.
For good this time. For the next few weeks the party and Atlas had stayed on guard, but nothing happened. Reports came quickly after Tyrian and Mercury had been found in Vacuo, their bodies sent back to them in bags. Jaune remembered receiving a message that Mercury had only one wish, to tell Emerald that he loved her, before he was forever silenced. After all, it was a punishment. He was honestly surprised that no one else had found her yet either. Though something had been oddly weird with Ruby.
She was always twitching whenever she saw him, as if she were ready to jump him for some reason. Thankfully he had Weiss around to keep the feral girl under control. Honestly though, he had no idea what had gotten into her. He was nice like that. Though, speaking of nice, as they settled on what they would do with the prisoners.
Though Weiss would inherit the Schnee family branding, he would be taking over as a father figure, for Whitley and Winter. They would need plenty of children, and he was sure he could convince Whitley in on the fun eventually. Regardless, with his new home established and those close to him soon to move in including Pyrrha, he smiled, entering his humble abode with a package.
