Takes place chapter 11 volume 4: Taking Control
I failed. Failed. FAILED! What is Salem going to say. I'm pathetic. Pathetic. A pathetic failure. How did I let the girl get away? Not just get away, but also sever my stinger? It's all Qrow Branwen's fault. Without him, Ruby would have been mi-- Salem's easily. I would have captured her and been praised by Master Salem whilst getting to rub it in dear Cinder's face. But no, HE had to save the day.
I'm blinding looking for Salem in her massive fortress. She will forgive me. She will have mercy. Please forgive me.
After a few more minutes of searching I hear her through a door, "Then stop holding back. If you wish to master your new powers, then you must-" Gathering my courage I throw the door open and stumble through the threshold stuttering meaningless pleads of forgiveness. "Tyrian!"
Master
"Your task... were your successful?"
I attempt to speak, no, I failed master. Please forgive me. But, I only manage to whimper a pathetic "No". Salem starts to pace away disappointment clear in her behavior.
IT'S QROW'S FAULT! He distracted me, allow my tail to be dismembered by Ruby. Right after I poison... "But-but hope is not lost!" I plead.
Yes, Qrow is most surely dead. I scramble to please Salem. "My tail, my stinger, I-I poisoned him, Qrow! He will not be a nuisance to you any longer, no... no longer! I've done that... H-h-have I done well? Have I pleased you?"
"The last eye is blinded," she states, "You disappoint me".
No. No! NO! I keep over and unleash a ragged scream. She is disappointed in me. I disappointed Salem. I failed. That's when the Grimm jumps to attack me.
Slice!
The Grimm's fur turns into a dress of red and black.
