Author's Note:
From now on some of the chapters will be focused only on Garou
Garou-
He preferred to go there by foot since that would have been faster, but given his sloppyness he took no chance of seeking attention and took a Bullhead for Beacon. When he entered the premises many students were going here and there since it was there break time at the acaademy. Even though he didn't want to but he got several stares from the students and staff along his way and but not much to make him uncomfortable. He read about the Beacon Academy after he met Ozpin for the first time and even though he came here before, it was during night time when most people won't notice so during that time the Academy was practicaly empty. He walked straight towards the reception of the school ignoring all the gazes including when Ruby was calling him by the name 'Alex'(he still hated that name though).
The receptionist was a male Faunus with antelope horns wearing a black coat over a white shirt, when he saw Garou coming towards him, he asked,"How may I help you?"
Garou looked at him and replied,"I have an appointment with Professor Ozpin"
"May I see your ID?", the receptionist replied kindly
Garou took his scroll out from his pocket and showed his ID to the receptionist. He waited till the guy on the chair double checked it, especially since he was here to meet the headmaster of one of the most prestigious academy. The Faunus handed him over his scroll and pointed towards the door of the elevator.
"You may go now"
Garou without any reply went to the elevator and pressed the floor where Ozpin's office was. The elevator's door closed and music started playing, even though it was quite a smooth music it was always the same music, and after some time the elevator's door opened and he entered the headmaster's office. Ozpin was sitting in his desk sipping coffee from his mug and looking at the holographic projection on desk and on one side there was an open window where there was a red eyed crow sitting over there. When Ozpin saw Garou coming from the corer of his eyes, he closed the holographic projection and turned his head towards Garou with a calming facial expression and tone he started the conversation, "Welcome Garou, I suppose you have something to tell?"
Garou's facial expression didn't change,"Yeah, but first", as he turned his head towards one corner of the room ,"it would be good for you to get out"
Ozpin's eyes narrow down at Garou as from the dark part of the office Glynda came out with a surprised look on her face.
"What? Scared of me? Don't worry, I wont hurt you this time.", said Garou with a smirk on his face
Glynda didn't give any response, and stood besides Ozpin and Garou's head turned back towards Ozpin. The room was filled with tension, and it always occurred whenever Garou stood in front of them but still the only ones in the room with calmness were Ozpin and surprisingly Garou himself.
"Let me assure you that we only want to talk", Ozpin said assuring Garou and Glynda,"so, shall we continue"
The smirk on Garou's face vanished and he told,"Roman was only a pawn. He was ordered by some woman named Cinder, she is also accompanied by two children. He didn't know about them though. Till now, all he was told was to get all the Dust available and store it in warehouses near the docks till further orders"
Ozpin was wondering about it, if what he thought was correct then something big is about to go down, but at the same time he was relieved that they put a hold on there plan.
"Well it's look like that we can relax a bit. Right?", Ozpin said
"No, unfortunately some of the stolen Dust was taken by some of the White Fang members led by Adam Taurus, after that he don't know where and why"
Ozpin sighed, and looked at Glynda who looked back. Earlier they they don't seem to find any relation to her but this still this was bad for Beacon and Vale, but now as Garou told Ozpin about them being 'pawn', things were going downhill.
Ozpin asked, "Did he know anything about the people who gave him orders, perchance?"
Garou answered, "He told me that the boy and the girl was a mystery to him since they met only once, but, the girl is mint haired, dark skinned and has red eyes, the boy had fair skin and grey hair, black eyes and resembles to a guy named Marcus Black. As for Cynder, he met her often, she is fair skinned, amber eyes black hair that reached her waists, has a black tattoo on her back and most of the times wears red dress", Garou turned his gaze towards Glynda, "The day you took Ruby, that girl who threw fire was Cinder"
Just as Garou said 'Ruby' the black crow at the window jerked a little and had it's eyes wide opened. Garou took a note to this but didn't say anything. He then looked at the scenery which was reaction between Ozpin and Glynda.
"It looks like we found the 'false maiden'" Glynda", Ozpin said as the two people and the crow in the room got a bit of a relief.
"Whats a maiden?", Garou asked.
The people and a crow in the room got tense, as they remembered that Ozpin didn't tell him the whole thing. Ozpin quickly regained his posture and said, "You see Garou that this world has 'some' people that weild magic a-"
"Like you and her", Garou interrupts
"Yes, but still there are some individual who weild it. They are called maidens, there are four of them to be exact. They wield powers, but when they die their powers are transferred to the next person whom they think of in their final moments. This only happens between women, this called maidens"
"And you believe that Cinder is one of the four"
"Yes and no. The thing is that one of the Maiden was attacked and somehow half of her powers were taken away. While this seems to be impossible for you it truly what happened to her. So for the powers not to fall in wrong hands we are in search for her for some time"
"What happened to the real Maiden?"
"She is medical care. Ever since the attack on the her she has been unconscious"
"So, if she dies then you are afraid that her powers may go to the false maiden"
"Yes that, and we also need of another heir to the power of maiden"
"How will you do it? The powers can only be transferred by the methods you said, even if you try to get an heir for that power the chances of the one on the bed to see the face is pretty slim. How are going to solve that problem?"
Glynda turned her head towards Ozpin. Everyone, including the crow and except Garou and Ozpin were sweating with horror. Waiting for the answer Garou turned his eyes at the crow to inspect it a little. Ozpin took a notice of this and before Garou would raise suspect on the bird, he quickly answered, "We are currently working on that"
"Ok", replied Garou still looking at the bird.
For some reason the bird in room and Garou were staring at each other, but when Garou saw it's eyes they showed nervousness. Why? He may not know... for now. He turned his gaze back towards Ozpin where both the people were nervous right now.
"Got any other secrets to share?", Garou asked
"Not for now", Ozpin replied
Garou knew what he meant. He wasn't trusted well enough to know all the secrets, let it be the reason of existence of maidens or that bird, but even he knew that trust is earned and there will be a time when secrets will be revealed. He turned around and went for the elevator to exit the office. When he left, the tension in the office was also gone and then the teachers left a sigh of relief. When Garou exited the elevator he found that the school grounds weren't crowded anymore. He peacefully went and took a bullhead to go for Vale. Even though he had busted a place there was nothing to do anymore.
Garou entered Vale and felt quite hungry. Even though he knew how to cook he still preferred eating outside. He went to a shop named "A Simple Wok" and ordered a big bowl of noodle. As he started eating the food someone sat beside him. When it looked at Garou it said, "It's you?"
Garou turned his head and looked at the person. It was a white haired kid who looked like to be in his early teens, with piercing yellow eyes like him but face not like him. He was wearing brown jacket over his white round neck shirt, he was wearing white shoes and simple blue denim, but there was one thing that caught Garou's attention was his white tail. He then recognized the kid but ignored him at his face started slurping his noodles and continued ignoring the 'Brat'.
