The day after the curious incident at Ollivanders, Ruby decided to focus on one area she had been neglecting, Blake.
Blake was an issue she had to solve, if it truly was Blake reincarnated then how can she bring her back to her old self and with her being a fragment her soul is likely to be damaged. Resolving to look deeper into it she summoned Blake to her and used 'Observe':

Reincarnated soul fragment (can reform into soul *new info, requires the soul to merge with another soul to due to fragmentation*)
BIO: A puma Grimm that has evolved using the power of its owner to gain special abilities. It has a weakened version of silver eyes that allows it 20% increased damage against corrupted beings in addition to mage sight *Eyes of sight*. Warning - A soul fragment has bound itself to this Grimm, increased autonomy and activated aura due to souls fragment having their soul unlocked.
This was quite substantial, she could now confirm that it is Blake as the soul appears to know her and she also has a way to bring her back. Quickly she left the Grangers telling them that she would be gone for a few hours, she then went into the more shady areas of the city.
Half an hour later whilst perched on a roof she spotted a man stumble drunkenly into a nearby alley. Upon closer inspection, the man was quite plain but once she merged and then had Blakes soul consume his Blake will be able to reform in her original body. Using her now solemnly used sneak skill she crept behind the man when close enough she used a few threads of corruption to restrain and gag the man.
Bringing Blake closer to the man she tried to merge the two, slowly she could see a shadowed soul fragment leave Blake and go into the man. Overjoyed at her success she thought of what she wou-
*ERROR*
Merger incompatible
Target needs to have skill 'animagus' to facilitate change.
Target needs to have magic to merge.
Target needs unlocked aura to allow souls to merge.
Target needs 100/100REP to allow merge.
Merge cancelled.
Crestfallen she watched as Blakes soul went back into the Grimm. Furious she turned to the man and had her threads stab into him slightly and lift him up. Ignoring his screams she summoned a Grimm pool and lowered him into it. She allowed the proto soul to escape having no use for it. Looking back at her creation she felt her anger subside and a new mind joins hers.

BIO: Corrupted Knight, relatively weak Grimm, stupid with high STR, PER and END. Is at the upper limit of baseline human physical stats.
*Hidden*
Despite the grisly and unsightly display, she knew the man didn't actually feel any pain from it as she had ordered a thread into his spinal column so he didn't feel getting impaled and he was dead once he halfway into the pool. Banishing her guilt with the knowledge that the proto soul would likely reform into a true soul thanks to it's exposure to magic she went and ordered it to bury itself in a local park for future use, turning back she went over to Blake.
The giant cat was laying down on the ground whimpering whilst she comforted it. Whilst this was a setback it was not an insurmountable one. She would simply have to find someone to have Blake merge with and have them learn this 'animagus' skill. Actually maybe if she did it just right she could merge the souls without having one devour the other. Hermione was her best friend and she would simply become more than she was now if she merged with Blake. Deciding to tell Hermione in a few years time, she then went back to the Grangers house.
Hermione looked at her a bit oddly with Ruby's oddly jubilant mood but just decided that it wasn't important and carried on. Ruby on the otherhand was smiling almost hungerly at Hermione.
'Soon, I'll have my friend back and who's to say I won't find other reincarnated souls?' She thought
The Corrupted Knight slept buried under dirt dreaming of red and green memories.
Hello, sorry about the short chapter I just wanted to get something out today and I have a few things to do so I don't have much time. Once again sorry about the length the next chapter will be longer.
Now onto the reviews:
Lowrex:
1) Just in time for this review only got it seven minutes ago.
2) Good Idea I'm thinking Cinder as Salem has merged with Ruby.
3) Cinder as Bellatrix sounds like a good idea.
4) Great idea.
5) Good idea, possibly I could have her make Grimm to farm dust produced by the lay lines or something. There was a comment a while ago about Grimm producing things.
6)Hmm, I've already got an animal that I feel is more suited for Yang as her name means sun dragon or something but the Grizzly bear is also a good idea.
7) Thank you.
Catastrophique:
1) I forgot to mention the last time you left a comment but fabulous name.
2) Your comment is quite amusing.
3) Thank you.
4) Who knows, I don't plan my chapters. It could be Ozpin, It could be Ozpins soul influencing Ollivander or it could just be Ollivander being weird. But yes it is Ozpin ha.
5) Interesting idea, I'll make sure to have her interact with the Centaurs.
6) No, I have plans for her nature being revealed. Kind of plans, more vague ideas.
Aleguille:
1) Odd that you would use an actual profile.
2) Good fanfiction favorites on your profile.
3) Please stop being odd.
Merendinoemiliano:
1) Thank you for clarifying.
2) I'll try to cut down the amount of stats.
Hope you enjoyed reading, the next chapter WILL be longer, I'll have it out in a day or two.
