Waking up in the morning, Ruby stretched her arms above her head and let out a long yawn. After a minute of letting herself wake up more, she stood and made her way to her pack to pull out a granola bar to eat for breakfast.
No one else seemed to be awake at the moment so she decided to also grab her headphones from her pack and listen to some music while she ate. After grabbing the headset and bar, she made her way to the cliff and sat at the edge, turning her scroll on and preparing to blast some tunes.
Normally the girl would listen to some rock music but instead turned on some soothing orchestral as she stared at the ocean while she consumed the bar of oats. The strings in the music played a beautiful symphony that would likely bring tears to the girl if she were more awake.
After finishing the snack-sized meal, Ruby remained at that spot, zoning out to the combination of string instruments and the slow-moving waves. The Rose girl was so zoned out in fact, that she didn't even notice the presence of another individual next to her. Upon turning to look farther down the coast, she nearly jumped off the cliff with a squeak.
Qrow grabbed her so she didn't fall, and shook his head with a smirk. His lips moved as if he was speaking, but Ruby couldn't hear it over the rising tension in the song that was currently playing. She then took the headphones off to hear what her uncle had to say. "Come again?"
"I said you'd think a Huntress-in-training would be more attentive when they are in a dangerous position." He replied, now with Ruby able to properly receive what he was saying.
"Sorry uncle Qrow. Nobody else was up so I figured I'd just wait it out with some music." She turned away bashfully. "Probably not the greatest idea to do that over a cliff though…"
Qrow let out a quiet laugh. "Don't be so hard on yourself, I was only teasing. Believe me, I've done a lot more stupid things in my youth." He stated while lying back in the grass with his legs still hanging over the outcrop of stone and dirt.
"Any prime examples?" Ruby asked with a bit of a playful edge as she laid herself back as well.
"Eh~ I'd rather not give you any ideas." He replied with a chuckle. "Gods only know what your father would do to me."
"Aw~, but I love your stories, please~?" Ruby put up one of her signature puppy-dog eyed expressions that she was so well known for changing almost anyone's mind with.
"Alright, maybe just one; But remember, I don't condone you pulling any of this of yourself alright?" He declared as he sat himself back up. Ruby simply nodded and sat cross-legged and held her chin up with her hands.
"It was a good while back, way back when really. Your father and I were out partying with some of our pals back when we were huntsmen-in-training ourselves." Qrow started, as he reminisced about the days of Team STRQ.
"We were at a huge mansion that one of the other students lived in, rich bastards they were," He added with a chuckle. "And let's just say, calling it a party is a massive understatement. There was a lot of people doing not-so-reputable things, primarily underage drinking, and let's also just say that I may or may not have indulged in a drink or two myself." Qrow was already getting a slightly scolding look from Ruby, but she still seemed interested in finding out more as to what happened that night.
"I ended up getting a bit tipsy and started making ridiculous bets with some of the guys. Things like, 'If I jump off this balcony and land in a roll, you owe me twenty lien,' and other dumb stuff like that. Needless to say, I eventually came to the point where I bit off more than I could chew. One of our friends' parents were scientists that studied captured Grimm in an attempt to learn about their biology and weaknesses. Well, we kinda got him to bring a boarbatusk to the roof to have a one-on-one fight… Without weapons."
Ruby was already trying to hold back the giggles that were forming from hearing about how foolish her uncle was that night. "Let me guess, it didn't go so well."
Qrow let out a huff. "Are you kidding me? It went great!... For the boarbatusk and anyone that uploaded a video of it all online. The thing literally threw me off the roof."
With that, Ruby couldn't contain herself and busted out laughing. "It threw you off the roof?! What were you thinking?!" She said between her laughing fit.
"He wasn't." A voice suddenly caught the attention of the two. Turning towards the voice it was clear to tell that it was Taiyang that had joined in on the conversation. "Not exactly the best story to tell your fifteen-year-old niece, now is it Qrow?"
There was a playful, yet stern meaning in his tone, which made it hard to tell whether or not he was mad at his old friend. "Hey, I already told her not to recreate it." Qrow stated to defend himself.
Taiyang just chuckled. "That's alright then… Plus the fact that I made a hundred lien off of that stunt you pulled." He said with a smirk.
"I'm still a bit pissed that you betted against me that entire night." Qrow prodded playfully.
"Yeah, but you did deserve it." Taiyang retorted.
"That I did." Qrow said as he rubbed the back of his head. "So, should we work on breakfast for everyone?"
"I don't see why not. Want to help out Ruby?" Taiyang asked.
Ruby nodded enthusiastically at the thought of seeing her friends' faces when they wake up to a meal already made for them by herself and her father.
Taiyang dug through their food supply to see what there was to make. "Why did you guys pack so many baked beans?" He asked with a frown as he found mostly the dull and boring food inside the backpacks.
"heheheh~ We kinda knew you and Yang wouldn't miss them, so~ yeah." Ruby replied sheepishly. "I was hoping you guys wouldn't be as mad at me if we took that instead of the good stuff."
Taiyang sighed. "But you weren't at all worried of how we would feel about you leaving in the first place?"
That sent them all into silence. Taiyang meant to keep that though in his head but managed to let it slip out of his mouth and into the ears of his daughter and Qrow.
"I…" Ruby paused, at a loss of words to comment with. She slumped her shoulders. "I'm sorry dad." She muttered.
With that Taiyang was able to speak up again. "No, I should be the one who's sorry. I shouldn't have said that; I can't blame you for wanting to find your friends again and doing your job as a huntress."
"So, that's what you're heading to Atlas for?" Harkness's voice drew everyone's attention out of their previous conversation. "It's been a great while since I've had any true friends, but I can feel for you. I would probably traverse the entire world of Remnant for a friend after something like Beacon. I'm just curious, how did you get split up?"
"Um… I can't exactly say," Ruby started. "I went after Juane and… another friend when Weiss and Blake supposedly got split up from the rest of us. Then I was put into a coma, so one minute I was at Beacon, the next I was home at Patch."
"I'm sorry to hear about that," Harkness continued. "But how do you know if they're in Atlas then?"
"Weiss was last seen being taken to with her father on one of their personal aircraft, we can only assume to take her home." Qrow stated.
"That wouldn't happen to be Wiess Schnee would it?" Harkness asked, a bit of a menacing tone in his voice.
"Yeah, but why would that matter?" Ruby asked confusedly, not sure why the soldier was now seeming intrigued, yet a bit angered at the mention of the heiress.
"Let's just say there's a bit of bad blood between me and the Schnee Dynasty." Harkness stated flatly as he crossed his arms. "But clearly there must be something about Weiss if you would consider her a friend."
Ruby fiddled with the hem of her skirt as she tried to come up with what to say. "Well, at first I wouldn't have called her a friend either, but over the year she's been getting better. Plus, she's kinda my partner on my team, so we have a bit of a nice bond anyway."
"Ah," Harkness now started stroking his chin and stayed silent for a moment. He still is aware of the comradery that is formed within a team, he was in the military after all.
"Why exactly are you so hesitant about us heading to the Schnees anyway?" Qrow asked.
"Well, given the fact that the initial reason I started travelling with you all in the first place was to get information I needed for an investigation I'm running, I kinda didn't sign up for a meeting with some of the people that I've come to despise." Harkness said with an edge. "Information you have yet to give me, Qrow." He shot a glare at the scythe-wielder.
After a moment of silence Qrow spoke up again. "Look Hark, I'm sorry I haven't held up to my part of the deal at all yet; If you want, later I can answer whatever questions you have. I forgot about what happened between you and [Weiss's father]."
During this entire span of time Ruby began feeling hurt, making the assumption that Harkness was only there for his work, and that all that time she spent with him was nothing real. Her father began to notice and walked over to her, placing his hands upon her shoulders in a comforting way and kneeling down to eye level with the girl. "You okay Ruby?"
She said nothing and shrugged out of her father's grip and disappeared in a red blur, leaving behind a trail of rose petals. Taiyang was trying to connect the dots and quickly reached the conclusion that his daughter was upset from how the soldier was acting. With this, he turned his attention back to Harkness, a glint of pure anger building in his eyes. "There had better be a damn good reason for this, boy!" Each word was laced with heavy malice.
Harkness's expression took multiple forms at that moment, first anger, then confusion, afterwards realization, and finally regret. "I'm sorry, I never meant to upset Ruby…" He remained silent for a moment. "I'll go find her."
"Like hell you will; I don't want you anywhere near my daughter." Taiyang spat without skipping a beat. "At first, I thought you were a worthless sack of disrespect, sarcasm, and plenty of other unpleasant terms; Then I saw what you did for Ruby last night, I was starting to think that I may have been wrong about you… But it looks like I should've listened to my gut; You are a selfish little rat that has no concern for how your actions affect other people. You only care about yourself and that stupid little 'investigation' of yours." Taiyang gave air-quotes as he mentioned Harkness's mission. "The only people that will be anywhere near my daughter from this point on will be myself, her sister and uncle, and her friends. You have lost the right to speak to her." After this, Taiyang spat onto one of Harkness's boots. "I'm going to find my daughter; Qrow, keep an eye on the others and…" He glared at the soldier. "It."
Qrow gave a sorrowful look towards Harkness. "Sure thing Tai."
Taiyang made his leave, following the slowly disappearing rose petals to find his distraught daughter.
Ruby found herself in a familiar area when she found herself out of motivation to run anymore. She was in tears and curled up into the fetal position in a small clearing in the woods. There was a light layer of snow covering the ground already, and more began falling ever so slowly to pile onto Ruby.
The Rose girl began thinking back to all of the time she had spent with Harkness, and how sincere it felt. She truly enjoyed the time they spent together, whether it was chatting, going on a hunt, or simply just walking along the beach in peaceful silence. And now it seems that it meant nothing to the other individual. The thought of that sent the girl into more sobs, her tears beginning to slightly freeze on her skin due to the cold.
After a while she sat up, her eyes unable to produce any more tears. She now realized how cold it was, her breath was visible in a mist-like state each time she exhaled. She wrapped her arms around herself in an attempt to stay a little warmer. Then she finally took into account her surroundings. It was a familiar sight, one that she had spent a good amount of time at. Then she realized where she was.
Ruby began taking slow steps in one direction until she reached a cliff overlooking a valley. At the end of the outcrop of stone and dirt laid what Ruby was looking for.
The Rose girl sat on her knees and stared at a stone slab standing from the ground. She then took a deep breath.
"Hey Mom… I know it's been a while, so I figured I'd say hi." She paused for a moment. "There's been a lot going on recently; A lot of bad for the most part. Beacon was attacked, Vale as a whole apparently fell, two of my friends are split up across the globe, and… One of my friends was killed." Ruby paused again and took a few more deep breaths, then continued.
"Sorry that most of the updates today are kinda gloomy, but that's just how it is. There has been some cool stuff though. Juane, Ren, and Nora are here, and we've been hanging out together while we're on our way to Atlas!" There was a bit of excitement in her demeanor now, taking a turn away from her sadness. "Qrow showed up not much later, then Yang and Dad… Oh and someone else too." She slumped down a bit and lost the previous excitement. "He's this soldier from Vale and he helped out when me and my friends were in a bit of trouble; He ended up saving Qrow even. He decided to join us for a while and we ended up doing some cool stuff. He showed me how to make a bow and how to hunt; But now I don't know if he actually cared about that anymore." She closed her eyes and took a final deep breath. "Anyway, it was nice seeing you again Mom." Ruby lied down in the snow in front of her mother's grave marker and remained there.
After a few moments of silence, she heard a small crunch in the snow near her. "I had no idea you lost your mother." Ruby immediately opened her eyes and rolled herself upright to see Harkness speaking to her.
"What are you doing here?" Ruby asked with her rarely used tone of disdain as she crossed her arms and turned her head to gaze into the valley instead of the soldier.
"I know the last thing you'd probably want right now is to see me, but I have something to say." Harkness began. "That is, of course, if you permit it. I'll hold nothing against you if you turn me away."
Ruby simply sighed, still facing the valley ahead of her. "Go ahead," She had no interest in her voice, clearly not caring about the other teen in any way.
"Thank you," He started again. "I wanted to say that I'm sorry for what I said back there; I never meant to upset you. I know how it may seem like I never cared about the time we spent together, and how it may look like I'm only here to get my answers from Qrow; The latter half, at any other time, I would say was true, but not here." This now peaked Ruby's interest, as she quirked an eyebrow and turned slightly towards the soldier.
"I truly did enjoy when we went out hunting, when we just talked for an hour that night we both had nightmares, and when last night we shared said nightmares." He paused for a moment. "And I rarely do that. I usually prefer to keep my problems as just that; My problems. But you had such an undying interest in trying to pry that information from me, in a friendly manner anyway, that I actually felt comfortable telling you about it."
"I genuinely care about that time we had Ruby, I really do." Harkness turned his gaze from Ruby's eyes towards the ground. "I'm sorry that I made you think any differently. If you need some time to yourself, I'll leave you to it. I wouldn't blame you for not wanting to see me anytime soon." He turned to make his leave but was stopped short when Ruby grabbed onto his wrist.
"Wait! You didn't give me a chance to make up my mind." Ruby said sheepishly as she rubbed the back of her head with her free hand. "You said you didn't mean for it to sound like you didn't like being around me, right?" The soldier gave a nod. "And you said you actually did enjoy that time, right?" Another nod. Ruby paused for a moment and placed a finger to her chin, letting go of Harkness's wrist, and hummed as if she were deep in thought. "Then you should be fine in my book!" Ruby said as she gave the teen a beaming grin, one of which that was contagious, as the soldier found himself developing one himself.
"So, friends?" Harkness offered as he held out a hand for a deal. Instead of receiving a handshake, like he had expected, Ruby surprised him by jumping into him and wrapping her arms around the back of his neck, almost knocking him down from the sudden addition of weight.
"Friends." Ruby said contently before she slipped down from Harkness. "So, ya ready to head back and see the rest of the gang?"
"I'd say so." Harkness replied and was about to walk away before he stopped. "That is, at least if you're done paying your respects." He said as he looked towards the grave marker.
"Oh right…" Ruby sank a bit remembering where she was. "Wait! I have an idea!" She immediately returned to her chipper mood and grabbed Harkness by the wrist yet again and practically dragged him towards the end of the cliff. "Hey Mom, there's someone here I'd like you to meet."
Taiyang was plagued with a head full to the brim of emotions. He was concerned for his daughter, enraged at the teen who caused his daughter's distress, and disappointed in himself for even thinking for a second that the boy wasn't all that bad.
He was able to follow Ruby due to the trail of slowly fading rose petals. As he ran through the underbrush he caught one of the petals in the air and noticed that it was slightly soaked, a sign of Ruby crying when she tapped into her semblance to run away from whatever causes her to do so.
'After I help Ruby calm down, I'm gonna kill that kid. With the gods as my witnesses I swear I will.' As he reached a clearing he suddenly realized where he was. This was where he, Ruby, and Yang would have picnics before they visited Summer Rose's grave. 'I didn't realize we were this close.'
He slowly continued his path as he noticed the trail of rose petals heading towards the cliff in which his ex-wife's memorial lay. As he reached the tree line, he saw something that fueled him with more rage.
Harkness was slowly walking closer to Ruby while she was speaking to her mother. 'How did he even get here before me?! I was in a full sprint the entire way here!' Just as he was about to charge out and beat the living pulp out of the teen, he felt a light weight on his shoulder.
Upon turning he saw the face of Qrow with a look of determination in his eyes. "Let him talk."
Taiyang let out a growl. "Why the hell should I? He left my daughter in tears!"
"He's trying to make a mesne, just give him a chance to talk it over with Ruby. I promise if he makes her cry again, you and I will give him a good beating, but until then, let him try to fix this."
Taiyang felt himself shaking as he clenched his fists. He eventually gave a long, exasperated sigh. "Alright, but if he screws up, don't be surprised if I throw him off that cliff."
"Deal." Qrow responded simply and took a knee to observe the two teens, with Taiyang following suit not long after. After a few minutes of the two talking, he was surprised to see Ruby jump onto the boy and give him a hug that reminded him much of one his blonde daughter would give.
He was surprised even more so when he saw his daughter drag the other teen towards the grave marker. "See? I told you he would fix it." Qrow stated while gesturing towards the teens.
"I guess you were right, but don't think I'm gonna let that kid off as easily as Ruby did." Taiyang stated as he shook a finger at his former teammate.
"Yeah, yeah, not like I'd expect anything different." Qrow paused for a moment. "We should probably give them some time."
"Whatever, as long as he keeps his hands to himself." Taiyang said with a shake of his head.
"You won't have to worry there Tai." Qrow waved it off. 'At least I don't think you shouldn't.'
While Vale as a whole was overrun with Grimm, Beacon Academy was a completely different story. Blake had never seen the amount of Grimm in one place during one time as she is now. 'This may have been a mistake.' She thought glumly to herself.
Of course, she could take on a great number of Grimm on her own, she is a huntress after all, albeit in training, but she would likely die if her presence was discovered. 'I'll just have to stick with stealth and only fight as a last resort.'
Blake slowly made her way onto the grounds of Beacon in an area where there weren't as many Grimm as there was everywhere else. Judging on where she was heading, her safest way into the academy was likely through the library.
Upon reaching the exterior doors to the great hall of tomes, she found that the doors were left with a great many claw marks and gashes. Just as luck would have it, the doors were locked as well. Blake didn't let that get her down however.
Due to her time in the White Fang, she had picked up a great many skills in the zones of stealth and infiltration, one of which being lock picking. Reaching into her bag she searched for the items she needed to get the job done. In a matter of seconds, she found the tools she was looking for.
Setting the screwdriver and bobby pin into position, the faunus got to work on finding the sweet spot of the lock. After a minute or two, she found where the lock would turn, a grin crossed her lips as she turned the lock, thus allowing the door to be opened.
As she entered the library, she found that there were some Grimm that had managed to make it into the school's halls. 'So much for an easy ride.' Blake worked her way around the winding bookshelves, many of which were knocked over and spilling the tomes across the floor, and made her best effort to not make a single sound.
The faunus soon found herself approaching the doors to the main halls of Beacon. She peered her head out the door and looked in both directions for any Grimm that may find her. To her pleasure, there were none in sight at the moment, prompting the girl to make her way into the halls.
Hearkening back to that day when Beacon fell, Blake attempted to find out where it was she was fighting Adam and where Yang was hurt. Thinking back to what happened to Yang brought a feeling of tightness in her chest. The sheer fact that Wilt can cut through aura as if it never existed, then proceed to cut cleanly through skin and bone was terrifying.
Blake shook the thoughts from her head and returned to tracing her steps. 'If I remember correctly it was one of the hallways in the eastern wing of the campus. Looks like I'm going to have to make it to the entire other end of the school.'
As the faunus walked through the halls of the school slowly falling to ruins, she couldn't help but think of what could have happened in these same halls that day. 'Did some people not even make it to the airships? Were there any people left behind that had to fend for themselves? How many could have died in those few hours?' The dark thoughts brought feelings of grief and melancholy to the girl.
Blake eventually found herself in the cafeteria, considering it would give her a pretty large shortcut to here destination, only to find that the large room was loaded with Grimm. When she first stepped into the large hall, she gasped and immediately jumped back through the doorway. 'Okay, how will I do this?' The faunus peeked back in and searched for any path that would take her through the room without getting caught.
There was a certain path that she could use, since the tables were upturned they provided cover. All she had to do was keep quiet. Blake made her way to the upturned tables and crouched low behind them. She quickly shifted from table to table while staying undetected. She repeated this process for a while until she was almost at the end of the lunch hall, but wasn't paying close enough attention and stepped on a tray, thus sliding and falling to the ground with a resounding crash throughout the large structure.
Blake could hear all of the beasts in the room growl and begin heading in her direction. She stayed low, still using the tables to keep herself hidden, and quickly made her way through the open doorway. Upon glancing back, Blake could see a massive amount of Grimm surrounding and searching in the area she had just escaped from. 'It's a good thing I made it out of there when I did. Gods only know what I'd be able to do there on my own.' Blake then turned and continued in the direction she was heading towards and sighed in relief when she found that none of the Grimm from the cafeteria were following her.
'I'm close to the hallway that I lost Gambol Shroud, it should be right around'- Blake was interrupted from her thoughts as she turned a corner and bumped into the back of something soft to the touch. Her eyes widened as she realized what she had run into, the back of an alpha beowolf, which was now turning around to face her.
Before the beast could give a howl to call its brethren, the faunus bashed the wolf-like creature in the jaw with her baton, treating her to a sickening crunch and a howl of pain as the blow dislocated the monster's jaw. A small group of beowolves nearby were able to hear the beast's cry of pain and came to its aid. Luckily for Blake these were young and inexperienced Grimm, and they were foolish enough to instead of call for more Grimm, opted to circle the girl.
Blake set herself into a defensive position and simply waited for the first beowolf to attack. The first to attack was the youngest looking of the bunch, and leapt at Blake, only to be knocked to the ground with a concussion. During the time Blake was counterattacking the first beowolf, two more sprung at her from both sides. The faunus tapped into her semblance and jumped back while leaving a shadow clone to take the hit, leaving the two beowolves to slash into each other's skin and eliciting howls of pain from the two.
'Alright, one down, two injured, that leaves about four more.' Blake pressed the attack this time, dashing towards a beowolf and sending the baton into the beast's knee, sending it backwards. She then brought the baton over and onto the beast's head, knocking it down with a crunch as its skull caved in. 'Three.'
The two beowolves from before made another charge at the faunus and one was treated to the girl sliding under them and a whack to the groin with the steel rod. Blake would have felt bad for that move if it had been on anything other than a Grimm. The attack left the Grimm in question limping towards her, an easy target. She bashed it in the side of the head, and it fell to the ground like dead weight.
The now three Grimm and one injured have begun circling around Blake once more. They surrounded her on all sides and began thinking more cleverly, all charging at once, in the hopes that their numbers would overwhelm the girl. Instead, she jumped above them all and sent her baton into the head of another beowolf. 'One injured, one injured alpha, and an untouched. This should be easy.' Blake smirked and kicked the untouched beast in the face and propelled herself towards the injured beowolf and smashed it's head in with the added force.
The alpha swung at the girl and landed a hit on her, chipping away at her aura, but not doing any severe damage. The faunus grabbed a flower vase that was standing on a table nearby and threw it straight into the beast's face and charged. She sent her baton into its skull and head a satisfactory crack, indicating that the beast was dead from the blow.
'And then there was one.' Blake turned towards the final beast and stared it down. Glowing red eyes stared back at her as it started to circle her. After a few moments of staring each other down, Blake shook her head and pulled out her Glock and simply shot the beast right through the center of its eyes. 'Just getting it over with.'
Now that the threat was gone the girl was able to see that she had reached her destination. After taking a few steps into the hall, memories of what happened that night flooded into her vision. The poor boy that Adam was about to kill, the Creep that would've killed her had Adam not shot it, and how easily he had defeated her. Then inevitably she saw Yang leap towards Adam, only for her right arm to be severed by Wilt's blade.
Blake felt lightheaded and stumbled onto an upturned table for support. After a moment of recollecting herself, she looked around the room for her beloved weapon. A few seconds later, she laid eyes on Gambol Shroud and a smile graced her lips.
The girl vaulted over the table and picked up the sword. She turned it around in her hands and noticed it was quite worn at this point, and caked with dirt and grime. Seeing as she had her weapon, she sheathed it onto her back and began walking the way she came, until she saw a sight that made her gag, and almost lose the contents of her stomach. Blake covered her mouth with her hand as she saw a set of blood-caked bones that looked about the length of a person's arm. Needless to say, she immediately knew to whom the bones belonged to. While still covering her mouth, and attempting to keep her lunch in her stomach, the girl ran the way she came and did everything she could to try to forget the sight she had just witnessed. 'Okay… That's going to be nightmare fuel for a good while.' She thought to herself as she ran.
Blake ran all through the halls until she reached the doors to the library, fortunate enough to not run into any Grimm along the way. 'Alright, objective one complete. Now to find where Adam is.'
A/N:
Wow, I'm about 3 days behind my intended schedule, sorry about that everyone! Things have been a bit busy recently so I do apologize for the late chapter.
So, in the beginning I felt it would be good to have a bit of humor, having to come up with an event that wouldn't surprise me at all for Qrow's past, then having it turn towards a bit of drama.
I meant to add a scene where Ruby visited Summer's grave before they left Patch, but managed to be silly enough to not add it in before they got close to the point of them leaving the island haha. Hopefully I still pulled it off well :p
Added a bit of an easter egg in Blake's part of the chapter, so kudos to those who get it!
Also, Blake got Gambol Shroud back, yay!... But then saw the remains of Yang's arm… not so yay. I felt like it was necessary for her to see the remains to remind her what she was fighting for again at this point, even if it was a bit morbid.
Also, loved episode 2 of Vol 4. I was not expecting Papa Schnee's voice to be so… That, but it gave my friends and I a good laugh, so I can deal with it. And yet again more coincidences in episode 2 to my fanfic, I swear, no matter what it may look like, I have no early access or leaks on the show lol. Nonetheless, I'm excited to see what the folks down at RT have in store for us in episode 3!
The first arc is coming close to being finished here, then the next will begin! I hope you all are still enjoying the story, and I'd love to hear your feedback.
Until next time all!
