(A.N: Alright, and we're back to the story. Finally, I seem to be getting somewhere, thank God for that. Thank you to those who left the Follow and Favs, they're much appreciated. Anyway, the story arcs will mainly follow the events that happen within RWBY, granted with a few changes. Right, that's enough talking, back to... well, the story!)

Into the Dark

Chapter 11

The strength of the Demigods

Yang

I groaned and slowly opened my eyes, my head foggy and my everything sore. "That's the second time this month," I muttered to myself, sitting up and rubbing my aching arms. I looked around to my left, right next to an open window in a white, clean room. 'Infirmary...? Oh right, the Red King Arte. Man, that wrecked me.'

"That was arguably the stupidest thing I've ever seen you do Yang," I voice said to my right, my head snapping over to Raiden. He was hooked up to one of those body-scanners, while I just had a morphine drip attached to my arm. It took me a second to realize what he said, and I got a bit angry. "Huh? Why do you say that?" I asked. "Yang, do you realize you almost killed yourself trying to do that!?" His voice started to rise. "So what, you were the one who taught me the Arte in the first place!" I argued back. My head started to hurt from my sudden shouting, but it was a good kind of pain that brought me back to Remnant. "Yes, and I told you that it was too dangerous to use like that that this stage! Fuck, I hadn't even fully taught you it at that point, how did you even manage to use it to that extent?" He growled.

"All you did was tell me Aura had a pulse, the Arte increased it, and I just... tried it. With all those tips you gave me, I learnt it really quickly, what did you expect?" I shot back. He huffed and rubbed his forehead. "No matter the case Yang, you almost fucking killed yourself! Why, just because you lost some hair? Really!?" His voice bit into me with heavy sarcasm and scorn, one that made me flinch before I fired back, shouting at him, "BECAUSE I WANTED TO LET HER KNOW NOT TO MESS WITH MY FRIENDS!" He paused at that, making me calm down a bit.

"Raiden, I consider you to be a great friend, and a great teacher. Stuff like that as a Huntsman shouldn't be taken for granted, and I owe it to you. Besides," I gave him a small grin, "You enjoyed seeing me beat the crap outta your ex, didn't you?" He shook his head for a second before slightly smiling. "Alright, fair enough. Sorry for snapping at you."

"Don't worry about it, it's fine," I said to him, all my anger gone now. "...One question though..." I started.

"Shoot away," He said.

"I'm pretty sure that I threw up a lot of blood. How am I alright?" He paused again, being silent for a bit. "I... gave you my blood." I raised my eyebrows. 'Gave me his blood? That could only mean I lost a good amount of it,' I thought. "How much did I loose?" He paused again, and I got agitated. "Tell me, how much did I loose?" He sighed and crossed his arms. "About five pints." I looked at him in shock, wondering how he was still alive. "Five damn pints, how are you still alive!? Hell, how am I still alive? No offense." He smiled again. "I have my ways." I shook my head in disbelief, shocked at how this guy could even survive giving that much blood to me without dying. 'What kind of stuff did you go through during your banishment...?' I thought, staring at him. "Right, now that that's over with," Raiden started again, "I think we'll start getting into some real training sooner rather than later, with the Vytal Festival coming up..." He trailed off as he stared at me, a look of confusion on his face.

"Yang... are you doing that on purpose?" He asked.

"Doing what?"

"Your eyes are red and your hair's glowing... oh shit!" He muttered. Slightly panicked, I looked at my hair. It really was glowing, and it was getting brighter , I felt something bubble up in my chest, and it wasn't my lunch (thankfully). It was raw, raging power. "Wh-wha-!?" I started at flamed began to billow off of me, my aura rising and blowing the blanket off the bed and searing it. "M-my semblance-!?" I started before my voice failed me. I clenched my fists and tried to control it, only for even more to come forth. "Yang, it's not just your semblance!" He said to me. "I don't know how, but your power is rising naturally, that's your own power, not your semblance's!"

I stared at my hands in awe, amazed at how strong I became in a matter of seconds. It took a second for me to figure out why I got so strong, not that I really minded. "I think... I think it's because I took so much damage, I gained more power permanently." I saw Raiden's look of understanding and I slowly looked towards the window. "Raiden, what floor are we on?"

"Oh, the twenty-fifth, why... Yang, don't you dare!" He shouted, panic in his voice again. I burst into laughter, holding my hands up in surrender. "Relax, relax, I'm not going to jump out of a building because of some new discovery I made. Please, I'm blonde but not stupid." He sighed in relief before glaring at me, making me laugh again. "Anyway," He stressed with a roll of his eyes, "That being said, I'm no longer going to pull my punches all that much in training as much anymore, especially now that I know you can hold onto some of the gained power permanently. You think you're ready for it?" I smirked and replied with a touch of heat, "You damn well know I'm ready." I pounded my knuckles together for emphasis, and it ended up being a mistake, raw soreness pulsing through my arms and shoulders, said arms and shoulders falling limp along with the rest of my body as I groaned. Raiden laughed at that, smiling at me. "Yeah, I think I'll let you rest up for a few more hours," he said to me.

"Thank you... so much," I groaned.

"Heh, don't mention it."

Claire

"Wow, you can actually do that?" Ruby asked me, her eyes sparkling with awe. I would've found it cuter had the topic not been so gory and graphic. "Indeed. It is possible to manipulate an opponent's pressure-points with aura, and that's simply all I did, and it produces a more violent reaction." Said reaction was the arms of the Grimm imploding within itself before exploding outward in a shower of black miasma. Not the tastiest thing to go down my throat in all honesty. "Wow, you guys must've trained a lot during your... banishment." Her voice dipped low at that, like she was scared to say it. Once again, I put a hand on her shoulder and smiled softly at the young, promising girl.

"Don't worry about saying that. It is what it is, after all. Oh, and to answer your question, yes, we did train a lot."I raised a glowing hand and picked up a random plastic cup which was on the ground, throwing it up in the air and activating my semblance, stopping time around it, causing it to float in the air.

"All four of us managed to learn things which we didn't think was possible before our Banishment. We honed our skills, our strength, our teamwork and our semblances to what we think right now can provide an even match to even the most experienced of Huntsmen and Huntresses. My 'Time-Breaker' before was a very unreliable, fickle thing to use. Now... I can freely control time within any space which I can see or sense. Kikoken has nearly mastered the use of her own powers, to a point where I think she is on par with Professor Goodwitch herself."

Ruby looked absolutely star-struck, smiling excitedly. "What about Oro and Rai?" My own smile faded a bit, turning a bit sad. "They've come the furthest, though I'd say that Raiden-san is in the lead. His aura-control makes the rest of ours look like child's-play, granted, he had to learn such control." Ruby raised a brow and asked, "What do you mean by that?" Again, my mind drifted back to the days of being part of the strongest team in Haven, when people both respected who I was and who we were.

"Raiden-san, as I've said and you've seen, has an incredible level of control with his aura. That's because he never had a semblance six months before now." I let that sink in for a while, Ruby's eyes going wide again. "Wait... you mean that... he became the strongest in Haven without a semblance!? That's crazy!" She shouted. "Quite crazy indeed," I replied. "I assume since you've been watching Raiden's training with Yang, you've learned a few things?"

She nodded enthusiastically, raising her own hand. Suddenly, rose-petals began to dance through the air around her arm, and I felt her concentrate not just her aura, but also her semblance into the limb. "That's... incredible, to say the least!" I said to the young girl. She constantly reminded me why she was moved up two years ahead of her time. "I know right? I'm still kinda experimenting with it though, but it's really cool. I think Weiss and Blake also learned some things from him, they just haven't shown it yet."

I nodded as we walked right up to the room which Yang and Raiden was being kept in, my hand going for the door. "Claire, hold up!" Oro shouted from down the hall, running towards me, dressed in his usual open white jacket, no shirt, light blue jeans and yellow sneakers. I stared at his bulky chest, licking my lips slightly as I discreetly ogled my man. "Eyes up here hon," Oro said with a grin as he slowed down, making my face heat up. 'Right, maybe not too subtly.'

"Sup Rose," He waved to Ruby. "Imma guess you're here to see yer sis?" She paused a bit before saying, "Well, yeah, but I also want to make sure that Raiden's alright too. He did give her a lot of his blood." We both looked at the girl in surprise, her voice and face sincere. "Yer gonna grow up to be a good person, and a great Huntress, you know that?" Oro said to her with a smile, giving her a thumbs up. The girl's cheeks turned a light shade of pink as she grinned. We walked in, and I felt something was off. I could feel out a person's strength due to their aura, and Yang felt like she had suddenly gotten noticeably stronger in under a day. "Hey Yang, hi Raiden!" Ruby said as soon as we walked in.

"Hey Rubes," Yang groaned, her body clearly filled with soreness.

"Hello Ruby," Raiden greeted her with a wave. "Are you two alright?" I asked them, more-so directing the question to Yang. "I hurt. All over. Hurts to talk," She groaned to me. I smiled, my extra-ears twitching as I heard something approach. Something feral, aggressive. Raiden's smile faded and he unfolded his arms, swinging his legs out of the bed and trying to stand up before his he stumbled. Oro quickly caught him and let him sit down on the bed. "Rest for a bit, alright? We'll deal with this," He said reassuringly. "Huh? What's going on?" Ruby asked, clueless.

Even Yang seemed to be able to sense the presence, though it was faint and fleeting to her. We were all silent for a while before the presence suddenly spiked, to the point where even Ruby felt it. "Ruby, get back-!" Yang shouted before the curtained window to the side burst open, Drei Greyhound leaping in, a look of sadistic glee on his face, his infamous Battleaxe drawn.

"Hey-hey-hey, who's gonna die today!?" He cackled, pivoting with crazy speed and swinging his Battleaxe right at Yang's exposed neck.

CLANG. That was the sound of Oro drawing Light's Edge and intercepting the strike. "Yer fight's with me!" He growled and grabbed Drei by the neck, throwing both himself and Drei out of the window. "Oro!" I shouted, popping my head out of the window just in time to see them hit the ground feet first, still swinging their weapons at each other. The outcome was clear though; Both of them were equal in power, but in raw speed, Drei took the cake and dominated Oro, landing several heavy blows on his body and neck.

Drei cackled and swung his weapon in a massive sweeping motion, Oro bodily leaping out of the way as his blade sheared through a tree like wet paper. I leaped out and silently plunged through the air, flipping head-over-heels before shooting my leg out in an ax-kick aimed for Drei's skull. His senses as a Faunus however were extreme; he pivoted again and blocked the blow with his grey gauntlet-clad arm, another CLANG echoing through Beacon's Saturday morning. "Hey there Claire, good to see you still kicking," he said gleefully to me before I flipped away, landing in a fighting-stance.

I grimaced as I realized I didn't have Aqua and Marine (my two punch-daggers) with me. Oro quickly stood by my side, his own stance up and his guard focused. "What do you want Drei?" I called over, tension high in my legs, arms and core. "Hey, all Lady Kagome said was to leave a nice scar on Xiao Long. Recovery is a Luxury, not a Requirement, remember?" Oro snarled, and I honestly wanted to do the same, but I kept myself in check.

"You do realize that we can go to Headmaster Ozpin about this, correct?" He laughed again, waggling his finger at us. "Wrong! Both Ozpin and Lionheart gave us special Sanctuary during our stay, so anything less of killing is basically allowed. Besides..." He looked directly at me, his wolfish grin growing wider. "I know what your last name is. Imma assume that basically nobody outside your team knows?"

I felt all the blood drain from my face and the mask that kept my emotions in check crack. "...Y-you wouldn't," I stuttered. Oro growled and took a step forward, still trying to restrain himself. "Don't you DARE!" He bellowed, his scimitar glowing brighter. "Oh, but I can. As a matter of fact, why don't I-!" We all paused as was heard someone drop from the sky, screaming in a high-pitched voice. 'Ruby?' I thought, confused as I saw the young girl race through the air, her scythe held high. Drei sighed and lazily stepped a few feet away from where Ruby was about to land. "Oh shoot, watch out Ru-!" Oro started, moving to catch the younger girl before she suddenly burst into rose-petals as soon as she hit the ground, shooting right at the wolf-Faunus.

Drei's eyes widened as she materialized right in front of him, swinging her massive weapon through the air and aiming for his head. He barely moved forward just in time to dodge the blade, but the shaft of the scythe caught him in the temple with a painful TOK, sending him skidding back violently. He managed to stay on his feet, clutching the side of his face. "Leave my sister and my friends alone!" She said loudly, pointing the barrel of the sniper-rife component at him. He had a disgusted grimace on his face, like he just dropped a piece of toast jelly-side down. 'Gods, that's nasty,' I thought absently.

'Also, tank the Gods for this little girl,' I thought with a slight smile before I began to panic. "Ruby, stay away from him, he's far more powerful than you think!" I shouted just as Drei leaped at her, his form blurring and his speed matching, hell, far exceeding Ruby's own. Still, the young girl was unfazed, her face a look of concentration as he swung wildly at her ribs before she seemed to... well, almost reappear behind him, the area she was originally in empty minus the handful of rose-petals that floated off the floor where her feet were. 'Did she just...?' I thought, awed at the girl as she did it again, disappearing out of the way of Drei's sharp back-kick to the head. 'She did. She's channeling her aura and semblance into her legs and feet, raising her speed and agility up immensely. A fast learner, it seems.'

Drei noticed it as well, his eyes narrowing as she went for another swing. His power suddenly spiked, and I knew exactly what that meant. Without hesitation, I stopped time within a twenty-meter radius before dashing forward. I ran out of concentration to hold stop the time just as I knocked Ruby out of the way, time resuming its flow once again. I grit my teeth as I saw his grey, fur-covered fist plow through the air fight before it caught me in the face, my vision splashing into white, my ears ringing. I felt a jarring impact on my back and head, but it felt numb. Slowly, the white faded into black, and I thought in the back of my mind, '...I forgot to do the laundry.'

Drei

Honestly, I was pretty annoyed for Claire using that bullshit semblance of hers. 'Time-Breaker?' That's some serious hacking-type bullshit right there. 'Well, 'least I got her out of the fight,' I thought as I saw her bounce off the floor, unconscious. "YOU BASTARD!" Oro bellowed, that steamy yellow aura of his shooting off of him like... well, steam shooting out of a rice-cooker. Mm. Rice. Rice and chicken. 'Yeah, I'll have some of that for lunch. Drizzled in some niiiiice gravy.' I wiped off a bit of drool and focused back on the fight, Oro having turned back into that really impractical form of his, that Half-Beast mode or whatever. I quickly slipped out of the way of his ground-breaking swing, nailing him in the jaw with a whirling kick to the jaw.

I smirked as he stumbled back, his pure yellow eyes glaring hatefully at me. "You're still too slow!" I taunted, bouncing on my feet with my fur-covered fists raised... hold up, fur-covered? 'Ah shoot, I used it,' I scolded myself, my body returning back to normal. 'Man, I need to stop doing that,' I thought, annoyed at myself. I tended to use my semblance whenever I felt like I was in I pinch, and seeing as that rose-girl was nearly as fast as I was. Speaking of her, she zoomed right at me, her form seeming to disintegrate into rose petals as she dashed around another swing of Mountcleaver. 'Okay then, let's step up the speed a bit more,' I said to myself as I ran right in front of her, her body becoming solid as I matched her speed. She was so caught off guard, her silvery eyes widened and she made one big mistake; she crossed her feet.

She tripped up, beginning to fall onto her face, and I took my chance as I swung up at her neck, the Lightning-Dust in the blade of my Axe activating, a streak of sparks left behind my swing. "You're fast, but not fast enough little girl!" I laughed gleefully. Suddenly, a giant figure blurred right in front of me, grabbing me by the neck and slamming me down, pain rocking through my head as I looked up. "Prof. Ornstein?" Ruby asked a few meters away from me. I realized what happened soon after. He actually moved so fast, I couldn't see him until he slowed down right in front of me. The Professor had his hand around my throat, his crimson hair tied up in a surprisingly manly ponytail, cascading down one shoulder. He was wearing what looked like workout clothing, a baggy red shirt with black joggers and red sneakers.

"Do not ever," he started, his voice sending a surprising shock through me. "Mess with the students while I'm around." I smirked and gabbed his wrist, actively using my semblance and pulling his hand away from my neck. "Sorry Teach, but I can do whatever the hell I want. Sanctuary, remember?" To my shock, he began to overpower me, forcing his hand back onto my neck with ease. "Yes. I am aware. However, it's also within the rules for a Professor to accept the challenge of a student, especially if they show resistance." He golden irises seemed to glint as he said, "And you have just resisted me." I felt in the back of my mind that I may have made a slight screw-up as I shot to my feet, back-flipping away from him. 'Alright, he's fast, he's strong, and he's probably got experience over me, but he's predictable,' I though as I landed, looking at... where he was.

"You will have to be far faster than than to think you can evenly match me in combat, young fool," He said right behind me. My eyes wide, I pivoted again and swung at his head, only for the tall man to move in and deck me in the face with an audible POW, my body flying backwards. I leaped to my feet again, only to find myself unable to move properly. "W-What the fuck?" I muttered, my body twitching painfully as I fell on my back. I tried to raise my hand, only for what felt like lightning to shoot through it... scratch that, it was actual lightning that was coursing through me, sparking on my gauntlet and grey shirt. "Y-you hit me with lightning? Damn teach..." I coughed up a small black cloud of smoke. "I'm impressed." I wasn't joking either, Professor Ornstein knew how to throw down effectively, and I respected that.

He glared at me, muttering, "There's a reason I was called Captain," before holding out a hand, a literal bolt of lightning shooting from my chest and into his palm, the tingling sensation leaving my body. "Go back to your team." He said simply before moving back to a now conscious Claire, ensuring her safety along with Oro and that Rose girl. I slowly got to my feet, dusting myself off and turning back to the dorms, ignoring the stares of the other early-morning students. My mind was blank before I thought, 'Oh, Lady Kagome's not gonna be happy about this.'

Ornstein

"Are you able to walk upright?" I asked the Faunus girl, concerned for her. She had a rapidly forming bruise on her cheek, and it was slowly getting darker. "I am... fine," She said unsteadily as she stood up, stumbling as soon as she was on her feet. Oro was quick to catch her, sweeping the rather short girl off of her feet and into his arms, and I couldn't stop the smirk on my face as her cheeks turned a dark hue of red. "Ensure that she is safe, take her to the infirmary," I ordered him. He nodded without hesitation, jogging into the building. "Hey, is everything alright!?" Yang called from above, leaning heavily on the window seal.

"Everything is alright Xiao Long!" I called up to her. Ruby waved at her, "Professor Ornstein took care of the guy, so you don't need to worry about it!" Yang had a pained grin on her face, like smiling hurt. For her, it probably did. "Thanks dude! Rubes, are you alright?" She called again. The red-clad girl proceeded to give her a thumbs up. Again, I couldn't help but grin to myself and put my hands in my pockets. "Well, now that that's been taken care of, I'll be off on my morning run. Have a good sixth-day, Miss Rose," I said to kind little girl. She looked at me strangely before asking, "Sixth-day?" I slapped my forehead lightly, chiding myself that I was not from this time, and that they most likely wouldn't understand me. "Forgive me, when I say 'Sixth-day', I just meant what you call Saturday."

"Oh, well have a good day to you too, Mr. Ornstein!" Her innocent, closed-eye smile was one of the most adorable things I've ever seen in my life, to the point where I wanted to squeeze her cheeks, much like that old granny always did to me back in Anor Londo. 'Huh, does that mean she found me to be cute?' I thought in the back of my mind as I waved to the girl and ran off, deciding to take another lap around the Academy. My idle thoughts drifted to that newer Transfer-Team from that other Hunter-Academy to the east. 'They could be a serious problem... scratch that, they are, as it is. Especially with their leader, that girl, having some connection to the Abyss. Hell, the darkness is so strong within her, she might as well be none other than His direct offspring!' I dashed past another bundle of students, the wind from the wake of my running blowing the hair from their faces. "Indeed, this is something that needs to be brought to Headmaster Ozpin, no doubt!" I muttered.

Just then as I ran around another corner right to where I was about to finish, I ran into Ciaran, who also appeared to be finished from a run, wearing a pair of dark purple tights, black sneakers, and . "Ah, hello there little sister!" I greeted her, much to her annoyance. She proceeded to punch me in between my legs in surprise, and hard, might I mention. Thank goodness for aura.

"Why, hello there you big ass..." She started before looking at me closely. "You've drained a bit of aura from using your semblance, and recently. Why?" She asked instantly, crossing her arms. "Oh, I just had a run-in with one of those Transferred brats, the one from team DARK. They challenged me to a fight, and I accepted. I won." It wasn't a lie, rather a truth by the rules. Ciaran took a long, blank look at me before relaxing slightly. "You beat the challenger, I assume?" I nodded. "One lightning-enhanced punch was all it took," I responded with a smirk... it faded quickly though as I remember the power beginning to erupt from the boy as I grabbed his neck, his arm turning grey and furry.

"However..." I started, Ciaran's head snapping back to face me. "I feel as if nearly the entire team will be a problem, minus that Lizard-Faunus boy. The boy I defeated, had I not taken his seriously... he could've injured me, badly." For the first time in my life, I witnessed Ciaran become worried and slightly fearful. The look on her normally calm and collected face sent a spark of protective nature through me, and I put a hand on her shoulder, putting on a grin. "On the other hand, I could just be paranoid. We'll be able to take them if we tried." She sighed and nodded, relaxing once again. "Well, I assume that you're done your morning jog, same as I," She said, stretching her arms above her head, revealing her stomach... which had a number of red marks, like bites. Bite marks. On her stomach. Oh Gods.

She caught me staring and turned cherry-red in the face, pulling her shirt down hurriedly. I stared at her before I put on my signature winning grin. "Shut thy mouth," She muttered, embarrassed to hell. "But sister, I haven't said anything yet," I said innocently. She turned redder, crossing her arms and turning away from me slightly. "W-well, wipe that damn smile off your face!" She said a bit louder. I obliged, replacing it with an even bigger smile. "Artorias gave you those marks, did he not?" I asked cheekily, my hands on my hips. She managed to turn another shade redder, facing away from me fully. "If you don't shut up, I will punch you again," She said, further embarrassed. I had to close my mouth to restrain myself from laughing in all honesty. "That does explain how every time I try and I to sleep, I always hear what I think, correct me if I'm wrong, are very loud shouts and screams."

She then snapped and punched me in the face, knocking me flat on my ass as I burst into a storm of laughter. "Shut up, shut up, shut UP!" she shouted as she continued to kick me weakly while I continued to laugh at her. I delighted in the fact that I was the only person who could annoy Ciaran to this measure, and ever since her... ahem, joining with Artorias, it only gave me even more ammunition to use against her.

Eventually, was wheezing for air, still trying to stop myself from laughing while Ciaran gave up on kicking me, her hands covering her red face. "Um, I feel as if I've missed out on a joke regarding Ciaran and myself," A new voice said. I rolled over to the side and saw Artorias walking towards us, wearing baggy black pants, a sweat-soaked dark-blue shirt, and a pair of white running-shoes. "Yes he did," Ciaran, said, glaring at me, "And I punched him for it." Artorias dropped a black bag he was carrying and walked right to Ciaran.

The poor girl clammed up as he leaned in, his face close to hers before he kissed, deeply might I add, sweeping her into his arms. They went at it long enough to make it fairly uncomfortable, only made further awkward when I remembered hearing the sounds which kept me up all night. Gods, those two went at it! I managed... around four to five hours of sleep, at most. Suddenly, my Scroll vibrated and I whipped it out of my pocket, checking a message from the Headmaster Ozpin. 'Please gather Artorias and Ciaran, General Ironwood has arrived to personally see you three,' it read. I stuffed it back into my pocket and turned back to the couple (whom were about to do less and appropriate things.)

"Right then you two, get showered and dressed into something smart-looking. That Atlesian General will be here to see us later today," I said, snapping them out of their... coupling. "He's arrived, then?" Artorias asked, and I gave him a wry look. "No Artorias, he's actually several miles away sipping from a thermos filled with-of course he's here, that's why I said to get ready, now chop-chop!" I said, clapping my hands. They leaped into action, small grins on their faces. 'Well, good to know things are back to normal,' I thought before I looked behind my back, sensing something.

It was that girl leader, Kagome, her hands in the pockets of a long skirt as she stared directly at me, her face blank. I felt the Abyss, hell her raw power pouring from her as she stared me down. I heard Artorias and Ciaran step to my sides, having noticed the girl, glaring at her. I glanced at them, a spark of determination in my heart. All three of us let some of our power loose, lightning, abyss, and shadows flaring around our skin. 'You want to try and brow-beat us? Fine. Give it your best shot.'

The girl seemed surprised at first before smirking slightly, shaking her head and turning away. Artorias gave a tense, nervous look before saying, "She'll become a problem, won't she?" I watched she she sashayed off, trails of Abyss left behind her on the ground and in the air. "Yes. She will... and I fear how."

A.N: Ooh, ominous! So, from this point in time, there's roughly two and-a-half weeks until the Vytal Tournament, which is when shit starts to hit the fan. Hopefully. Anyway, enjoy the new chapter and sorry for taking a bit longer than usual. Don't be afraid to leave a review, Fav or Follow of you like what you've been seeing. Bye!
