I needed to clear my mind and went to the balcony while everyone was sleeping to play some melodies, but my rhythm was missing. I got off key, missed beats, and couldn't play the right notes. Clement came out and asked "How goes the music?" I said "Something is keeping me from playing the melody I have in mind." as I tried and failed twice. He sat and said "Let me guess, anger for whoever destroyed the academy, confusion on what's happening next, lost paranoia to protect those close to you." and I said "About so." He said "Guess that's natural when one leaves what is the normal, but playing solo is not the right choice when one is lost. It is better to play WITH the people that care, not FOR them." as I strummed it perfectly and said "Thanks." as he replied "No problem T." as I went to rest. Rivera was awake and asked "You okay?" as I replied "Yeah, just needed to clear my mind. Guess I did get a bit existential, but all of that is behind me." as she gave me a tight hug. I said "I love you too." and tucked in next to her. She said "Good to hear, our leader is needed here and not in the clouds." as I chuckled and dozed off.
I was practicing some music with Gold and he asked "What's gotten you so hyped up?" I said "I don't know, just woke up with energy to burn." as he said "Though I've still yet to figure out the one question, how you're a grey wolf yet your fur is white with blue streaks." I said "I don't know, dad has his navy hair, mom had silver fur, so you ask me." and Clement said "We have a task at hand." as I said "Yeah, time to rock." as I got into my battle gear and said "Team TRBL." Gold and his team were prepared as he said "Team GTER." and we left for our appointed task. We arrived and I saw a face I didn't want to see. I was breaking my own mind and said "Kill, kill, kill." as dad was pulling me back. Rivera asked "What's going on." Dad said "When he said divorced, it was more like she left, so seeing her isn't a great sight." as this guy came up. He said "Well, nice to see I have an opponent who know something about class." as I stepped up. He said "Bruno Ares." and I said "Tristin Atlanta. though the trilby isn't working, try a flamenco." and he said "True, thought it would, when its just a discount fedora."
He pulled out his techno board and said "Key Strike." as I stringed up and said "River Web, on 1, 2, 3..." and we were in the midst of our battle. He said "I'll give you credit, since this is a rivalry, I can at least smirk to see my rival has a sense of compassion for his team." and I said "While we both couldn't give a damn about yours." as he said "Sure, you know what they aim for, go stop them." as he let me follow them. I said "Heads up." and landed. She said "Careless aren't you." as I said "It's from my mother's side. Oh, this is purely golden." as I was howling in laughter. She asked "What's so funny?" and I said "You think, you honestly think you posses the midnight's emotion." as I roped her. She said "You wouldn't harm your own mother would you." I said "You stopped being my mother when you walked out on family for power. You have no right under the family, and you know what, I really couldn't give two shits if you lived or died."
She broke out and managed a fight but I said "It's all in my name, Atlanta. Based from the hero Atalanta, a female in a time when all heroes were male. So even if luck were to like you, you still have no chance. Besides, you forgot what the grand power of the wolf faunus is, I mastered it." as I let my mind go barbaric with my mind set on her. Dad came down and said "Son, stop." as I held myself together." He said "You have to humiliate her first." as I tied her up and drew on her face. He said "Yup, do more." and I let out a howl as she was terrified and slipped out. I said "Oh, well I hope she dies." as I went through the gate. I said "Hmm, almost looks like a bangle." as I slipped it on and felt OP. I took it off and said "Can't control, that, yet." as we went back up. I said "Hey guys." and collapsed on my knees. Rivera caught me and I said "Well, I have this." and Clement said "That's good enough for today." as Rivera said "Guys, help me out." as Laila said "Well, your rival left as soon as you went down there, so this is getting interesting." I said "Laila, these jokes are too hard for me to stand." as she high fived and I fell asleep.
