I woke up in a room that Ozpin had provided me after my initiation, it was the first day of school for this semester. "Whew that was fun, Ooo maybe I get to meet Qrow's nieces, that could be fun." I got up and did my morning routine, a shower, brushing my teeth and getting dressed. "Who's ready for their first day on the job?" I finger gunned myself in the mirror. "That's right you are." I left the mirror smiling stupidly before I started heading to class, I'd been learning the layout whenever I had time to. As I strolled to class I met Glynda on her way to class as well, "So how was the initiation, Miss Goodwitch?"

"Oh, Azule, it went swimmingly, no major accidents."

"Well, that's great! I reckon we should get to class though right?"

She nodded "Yes, that would be smart. How about I introduce you first, then you can come into the room?"

"Sounds good to me" I smiled more stupidly as we came to the classroom, I stood outside of the door as students walked past me into the room they gave me odd glances, but they probably just thought I was a student. Ha, how wrong they must be.

The class all managed to get seated just as the bell rang, a few seconds after I started to hear Glynda talking. "This year students we have a new teacher, please understand that in order to enter their position they had to beat team CFVY, who as you know is one of the best teams in the school."

I took that as my cue to enter humming quietly to myself, as I took center stage I started talking "Good morning class, you may call me Ms. Witticker or just Witticker will do nicely." I smile as I look at the crowd only to see some students talking amongst themselves seemingly hatefully.

"Team CRDL if you have something to add please tell the class." She seemed to have an idea as to what they were saying but wanted them to say it.

Cardin stood up after a few moments "I just don't see how a 'faunus' could beat team CFVY and teach us."

I smirked "Well would you like a demonstration? Why don't you come up here so I can show you why I am qualified to be here?" and so team CRDL raised from their seats.

"Please go retrieve your gear from your lockers," Glynda called out, as CRDL started to do so, I went to go get dressed and armed as well before returning to the room, only to see CRDL across from me on the stage. I readied myself as Glynda informed the students of the rules of engagement, she finished sweetly before saying "Oh and Ms. Witticker has no aura" She smiled before moving out of center stage. Eventually, she called "Match, begin!"

I stood and watched as CRDL began to charge me, each of them acted as if they were fighting to see who could reach their demise first. They shoved each other aside to get to me faster, Russel was the only one who seemed to hold back to gauge my capabilities and not get knocked out. "Ah, I see Mr. Thrush is smart enough to gauge my abilities from a distance, though it is a shame he doesn't work with his team. Speaking of" I referred to CDL "you three could do with some teamwork as well." as I pointed out the flaws they started to rush faster, Cardinal was the first to reach me, he swung with his mace rather slowly, so I sidestepped and punched him in his gut, it took quite a bit of aura he was easily in the yellow. "You need to work together" I started before I punched him again, but this time in his chest knocking him back into Sky.

"Cardin disqualified, due to lack of aura," Glynda called out.

I got into a boxing stance, "You must work as a unit" Dove rushed towards me, but he was more cautious than Cardinal had been. He swung at me only for it to be a feint, I jumped away from the strike before he jumped towards me showing his acrobatics. "Mr. Lark very impressive" I ran forward before sending a high kick to his head, with enough force to slam him headfirst into the pavement, "However you had no one to watch your back." Next came Dove and Russel "Finally some teamwork exercises" I prepared to bring them down, still with only my fists I don't like this but I need to prove myself, yet I can't show my powers... Russel's daggers shot from his wrist guards as DR came to a stop before Dove started swinging, I went to parry but, Russel picked up the pace, stabbing from the side, I had to jump to get away. "See students, Mr. Thrush, and Mr. Bronzewing have the teamwork on their side, however, they're already down two teammates." I waited for them to advance again before catching a blow from Dove with my sleeve before I grabbed his sword and wrenched it from his grip, only before gripping it in my hand. "Without proper teamwork, you will fail." I jumped high before coming down with a downward slash at Dove.

"Dove Bronzewing eliminated due to aura loss."

Russel stepped back and put his daggers back in his wrist guards. "I forfeit the match."

"Match win, Azure!"

Russel came forwards to me as I put Dove's sword in the ground before I turned to look at him. "Look I'm sorry for what happened." He reached his hand out, "Clearly you know your stuff, so can you pardon me for standing by while Cardin bullied you?"

I shook his hand, "It takes guts to admit you did something wrong, now you have to learn from it." I smiled. "Now CRDL please go change back into your school uniforms." I released his hand.

I started to hear whispers in the crowd things such as "she didn't even use her weapons..."

"...she used his sword like it was her weapon, where did she train?"

"I see you're all curious where I learned my stuff, and it is complex, so how about for now we point out what CRDL could've done better?" I asked just as CRDL came back.

~Later in the lunch room~

I saw team RWBYs and JNPRs seats so I went towards them with my tray, it was primarily full of veggies, my shift to being a deer apparently changed my appetite. As I came closer they stopped talking and looked at me, "Team RWBY, team JNPR" I nodded at them respectively "Is it alright if I sit with you? I have lunch duty with Professor Port and he's such a drawl."

Ruby looked at me "You a teacher, sit with us, students?"

"Well isn't that what I asked Ms. Rose?"

"I mean I don't see why not?" She looked at the other occupants who seemed indifferent.

"Well thank you." I sat next to Ruby. "you know Ruby, we have the same teacher, for our fighting styles."

She looked at me, "You mean uncle Qrow... taught you!?"

"Yep, he also helped me get ahold of my precious" I unhooked my weapon from my hips, the two sickles were attached via a chain, "If I'm correct the weapon itself is similar to Lie Ren's, however, the style is vastly different."

"Why is the chain so short?" The quiet cat faunus spoke up.

"It expands, see" I expanded the chain to about a yard "and it turns into a scythe, but don't tell anyone." I shortened the chain and hooked them back before I started eating, this seemed to quell any questions they might have had for now as they slowly returned to talking about whatever. Just as I finished eating there was an announcement over the intercom system.

In Ozpins voice I heard "Will Azure Witticker please come to my office?"

"Well ladies, duty calls" I rose to my feet before going to Oz' Tower, on the way there I opened my stats and alloted a few extra stat points into charisma.

As the elevator door opened Ozpin ushered me in. "Have a seat Azure"

"Ozpin what's this about?"

"Well I figured it was time to bring you into... our circle" He gained a look of seriousness "Qrow's trained you for a year and a half just about and you already function as well as a trained huntsman, I could use someone like you in this war of mine."

"Ozpin what do you mean?"

"Azure are you familiar with our fairy tales?" I nodded "You know the story of the two brothers?"

"I am familiar"

"Well, Azure, what if I told you it was true, that the two brothers created creatures to fight each other and they both appointed leaders to fight in an eternal war?"

I shrugged "Not too shocked, Oz, fairy tales always have some truth"

"Well it is, and I lead Ethos' forces, the humans and faunus. Then there is Salem who rules Keres' forces, the grimm."

"So let me get this straight, you want me to join this war?"

"Yes, Azure you're our only hope for salvation."

"I refuse Oz, I'll accept that you control your pawns but you won't turn me into one, I have more knowledge than you think." I stood "I'm going to bed early tonight, and I'll let you think on that."

Ozpin looked miffed as I left, only for him to call Glynda in with a buzzer, to a personal pager, "Glynda, I think she doesn't want to join."

After I went to sleep for the night I awoke in The Garden.

"Ethos! Show yourself." Soon the goddess came to me "I want to meet Keres, it is only fair that you don't bind me after bringing me to this world, isn't it?"

"I will take you to Keres domain daughter, just know I have no control over what happens to you there."

"I will accept that." I got woozy as the beautiful garden turned to dead black land, that carried it's own sort of beauty before another goddess dressed in black robes appeared in front of me, she seemed to be infused with the very essence of Grimm.

"Ah finally I get to meet my Neice," she eyed me "So she birthed you into this world on my side of her family tree, how lovely." She looked at me seriously "So what is it you need?"

I eyed her steadily, "You like to seed chaos yes?"

This seemed to catch her attention. "Potentially, what of it?"

"Could you, king me? Metaphorically of course, could you give me my own faction of power, something neither good nor evil, but not just an observer, no I want to wreak havoc on the both of your factions, this petty war has lasted long enough."

She started giggling then it turned to a laugh, "Oh sister you have no clue what you have incited, I will tell you the boon I have already given you and gift upon you another, your eyes, they are not simply a marker of your soullessness but also a marker of your power over my grimm, you can spawn them Azure, your own grimm, and they shall follow your command, and only yours, not even mine. As for my second boon, you will learn of those who are like you, that just want the devastation to be over. Now good luck with my sister again."

Yet again I was transported "Ethos, I'm sure you were listening, would you like to contribute to my tiebreaker?"

"Keres has made it impossible for me not to, so I will gift upon you a second boon as well, my first was the system of the Gamer, the second will be magic, true magic, the magic to summon demons and gods, and yes that means me and Keres as well."

"Thank you... mother" I stumbled a bit on that before coming to a realization "How were humans and faunus created?"

"Well you see, my sister and I have a very... close relationship"

"Well you and aunt Keres have given me much to think about, thank you" I blinked myself out of their world as I awoke well rested before I started laughing menacingly.

~Next Day~

The next day seemed to go rather smoothly until there was a spar in combat class between Jaune and Russel. Now why Russel was nowhere near good enough to be considered, well good, he was better than Jaune by leagues, and easily beat him. "Mr. Arc, will you please stay after class?" I asked him as the bell rang, most to all of the students filed out. "Mr. Arc please ask your teammates to help you if you need it, training is important especially for a hunter in training. Now hurry to your next class." I didn't give him time to respond as he went along. I paused Now how to straighten out CRDL, or well no let's leave that to them I have more personal stuff to do. I started towards Ozpins office easily entering the elevator and going to the top floor.

"Ah, Ms. Witticker" He took a sip from his mug "to what do I owe the pleasure?"

I sat in a seat in front of him. "Sir, I've come to a decision."

He leaned forward interested. "About what?"

"Well, I've decided after talking to my parents," I grin at that "that I will join this war of yours Oz."

"Really? But I thought you didn't want to be a 'Pawn' as you call it."

"Oh you're correct I don't, and I won't" I pause for effect.

"So... you're with her?"

I laugh. "No Ozpin, I'm not with you, and I am not with Salem, I am my own force, backed directly by the sister gods, my direct parents of this world."

"But that's impossible! They only have the power to control our world through indirect means."

"Ozpin, I am their indirect means. I have the eyes of Keres' and the magic of Ethos'." My eyes seem to glow as I mention the power and my hands spark with the name of the powers behind them too. "You knew of my eyes Ozpin and you said nothing of it, and so now I shall show you everything of my ability, by ending your war."

"How would you hope to accomplish that?"

"I have the very thing that contradicts the two players in this game, Oz. I have the power to create my own grimm, that not even Keres can control, and yet I can control her's and Salem's, your counter, and I have the magic to defeat Salem, but no. I am not strong with either, and if ever I was, I wouldn't defeat you both."

Ozpin looked at me worriedly as I talked, his look got worse and worse until the end.

"I will bring you peace, but first I need to pick up my cards, then I'll play them. For now, I'll stay as a teacher here and a huntsman working for you, but I am not a part of your circle, and you better do well to remember it." I stand and leave to the lunchroom just as lunch started, I sat with teams RWBY and JNPR like the other day.

As I sat with the two main teams I thought on my position. I need to make my position clear to Salem as well... Maybe I can go through Cinder? Hmm, no I think that'd be too encroaching I mean, she'd probably try to kill me at first sight. I could go through Roman by going through Neo? Or even Adam's an option I am a faunus... What should I do?, what should I do? I was drawn out of my thoughts by Nora.

"Did you talk to Ozpin? What did you talk to him about? What are you thinking about?"

"Yes Nora, nothing that concerns you, look to the previous answer."

"Was it about how you entered a secret war between evil and good but you're being a neutral party?"

Everyone just looked at her blankly and I slowly shook my head and laughed slightly. "Of a sort Nora, of a sort."

Ren looked at me "She does that all of the time."

I nod a bit "Well I should go." I get up to leave and do leave, going into Vale to hunt down some White Fang, I message Ozin I'll be out for a while, don't worry about me. Afterward, I proceed to look down at my minimap. "Alright, so Juniors bar is... this way" I start heading to Junior's bar, knowing it from my time with Qrow.

On my way there I find a faunus passing out fliers for a White Fang rally, I take one from him and read it only to find out there's a rally later tonight, which causes me to giggle. Ah Adam, you've handed yourself to me directly
