Volume 4-24 Green: A Ballad of a Spider.


Morning came to Mantle as Rina woke up from her sleep and usual got herself changed into her clothing and came out into the kitchen as she saw Robyn cooking up some breakfast for them.

"Hey. Good morning. Sleep well." Robyn said.

Rina nodded "Yeah. Yesterday wore me out for sure." Rina said as she sat down at the table.

Robyn finished making breakfast was her signiture oatmeal that Rina actually came to like along with a side of orange juice as they both sat down and enjoyed their meal.

"Say... I just wanted to thank you for helping me the other day. I know I shouldn't have asked you to do that for me but..." Robyn started.

"Yeah I know you shouldn't have but I did anyway because you had someone in danger and I just didn't want to stand by and let it happen. Besides... I think your starting to grow on me a bit." Rina stated.

Robyn actually chuckled at her statement a little "You think so?" Robyn asked.

"Yeah. I mean you have your tough moments but your also quiet caring about your employees like their your own sons and daughters and that's something I like about you." Rina replied.

"Well thanks for the compliment. Though their is something I would want to ask." Robyn said.

"Oh and what's that?" Rina questioned.

"Have you been practicing?" Robyn asked. At first Rina didn't know what she was talking about but then remembered the piano downstairs.

"Oh you mean that. Yeah I've been practicing. Did a full hour yesterday and I remembered you want me to do play in front of everyone tonight." Rina said.

"That is if your truly ready." Robyn replied.

Rina thought a moment but she was confident enough that she nodded.

"Yeah... I'm ready." Rina said firmly.

"Alright though we got plenty of time before we open tonight. Got any plans before then?" Robyn asked.

Rina thought a moment not sure what she could do for the time before tonight.

"You know. You could go toward Cynthia and train a bit more before tonight. I'm sure there are other skills you could learn from them." Pyrrha suggested.

"Plus seeing her again would be nice too." Lilith said almost happily.

"I think I'll head to Cynthias and sharpen my skills. I mean I can't get rusty." Rina replied.

"Alright. I'll see you later." Robyn replied.

After breakfast was finished Rina sent a text out to Cynthia that she was coming over to train. It didn't take long for Cynthia to answer back as she said it was okay for her to come over.

Rina went downstairs and grabbed her coat before heading out.

After making sure Rina was out of the room Robyn brought out her scroll and made a call to someone on her scroll.

"Hey Ciel think you can get the guys over here. I have a job for them to take care of. Something for tonight that'll be interesting." Robyn said before she hung up as she had a plan for tonight.

=RWBY=

Rina got into Atlas and quickly made her way toward the Stealth Corps location as she stepped inside the building as Cynthia and Gavrail greeted her.

"Ah welcome Rina. Thank you for coming at this time. You said in your text that you wanted to do more training right." Cynthia said.

"Yeah I figured I might as well since I don't want to get too rusty with my skills." Rina replied.

"Well we do have many training methods more than what you've experianced at first. Gavrail can show you." Cynthia replied.

"Is their something that you want to learn or at least get better at?" Gavrail questioned.

Rina thought for a moment and while she was sure enough of her own skills there was always room for improvement in other categories.

"Actually I wonder if you have anything that tests a persons acrobatics?" Rina asked in which Gavrail nodded.

"Of course we do. But first you're going to need to put on something different for this." Gavrail said.

Rina raised an eyebrow "And what would I need to put on?" She asked again.

"Just follow me first then I'll tell you." Gavrail added sweetly as she led Rina to another part of the building as they took an elevator to another floor. Cynthia only chuckled hoping that her assistant doesn't go overboard.

Once they've reached their designated floor Gavrail continued to lead Rina which every second made her curious what this one was going to be like.

Soon they arrived at a wooden door as it opened before them and inside was a large gym used for this occasion as there are already a few others in the room using it more noticably was Lily as she was wearing a purple leotard but making sure her wings were noticable.

"Whoa. This is quite the gym." Rina said as she was impressed even noticing a few weight lifting machines on the side as well.

"Yep this is the core of our training. This is used more than most of our other training methods. This is where they come to practice their form but with a lot more flare and style thrown into the mix as well. Speaking of which..." Gavrail said as she walked over to the closet and grabbed something from inside it before walking back to her and show it to her.

"Here put this on." Gavrail said as Rina took it before noticing it was a green leotard.

"You're kidding right. I have to wear this." Rina said a little nervous about it.

"I know it's a little nerve wracking a first but trust me this training will most certainly help. You can change over their." Gavrail said pointing to the changing room. Slightly groaning at this but not wanting to argue with her she went over to the changing room and changed into the clothing.

After changing into the leotard she found that it actually fit her perfect almost like she guessed her measurement as she headed out to meet her no matter how embarrassed she may look.

"Now their we go. Let's get started on the balance beam first." Gavrail said heading over to said object which was a literal wooden beam suspended at least three feet off the ground.

"Alright. Now place yourself onto the beam." Gavrail instructed as Rina carefully put herself onto the wooden beam.

"Now here's what I want you to do. First is to relax your body as you don't want to strain yourself while doing this. Second place your hands onto the beam but with your wrists touching each other." She added and Rina did what she was told placing her hands on the beam with her wrists touching.

"Now without using your faunus traits I want you to perform a hand stand. This is all about control and balance." She added.

Rina knew this one was going to be difficult as this trick as she knew this was going to test her. She managed to carefully get her legs onto the beam instead of hanging off it bringing her legs together. She then brought herself up to a kneeling position. The next part was going to be tricky as she brought herself into what would basically count as a yoga pose.

Then kicking off her feet she found her legs in the air as she carefully balanced on the wooden beam.

"Now keep it right there. Try and balance their for a few minutes." Gavrail said as Rina tried to keep her balance.

After around five minutes her arms were starting to tremble as she tried to keep her balance.

"Alright that's enough. Now try and turn into a roll and stand up." Gavrail replied.

Rina listened as she tried to do what Gavrail said as she began bringing her legs down in front of her face as gently as she can but about part way through her hand slipped making her back hit the beam hard before landing on the floor.

Gavrail ran over to her to make sure she was okay.

"You good? That was a pretty bad fall." She asked.

"Yeah... I think so. Backs going to be sore for a bit though." Rina added.

"Well you think you'll be able to try again." Gavrail replied. To her surprise Rina gave a hard nod as she didn't want to give up that easily.

Rina spent a few more hours there sharpening her skills so that whenever she does get into another altercation with anyone again she'd be ready for it. Her three voices in her head were cheering her on as well encouraging her to throughout the day. Eventually she got tired and after a quick dip in their bath Rina decided it was time to leave. Gavrail even let her keep the leotard for her incase she came by next time.

Rina was making her way back to the resteraunt with a proud smile on her face feeling like she got further into her training. She opened the door and walked inside as Robyn and the others greeted her.

"There you are. Took your time getting back. We're almost ready to open." Robyn said.

"Give me a minute to put my stuff up then I'll change into my uniform." Rina replied.

"Actually their's something that we want to show you first." Clay said gesturing toward the stage where the piano sat.

"Huh? Okay... what is it?" Rina asked.

"Oh you'll see." Matthew replied as they walked over to the stage. For one she immediately noticed that their were colored lights hanging above the stage that were almost meant for a theater setting. Next on the piano itself was a small microphone that looked wireless. On the left of the stage is what appears to be a sound system that modulates the sound that comes out from the piano.

"Whoa... what is all this?" Rina asked though rather impressed.

Robyn slightly chuckled a bit "While you were out I had the boys come down and set this up. What do you think?" Robyn asked.

"It's... nice. This is what I'll use for tonight." Rina replied.

"Yep. Though whatever you want to play is up to you." Robyn stated.

"Okay I think I can do that." Rina said. Afterwards she headed upstairs to drop her stuff off before changing into her uniform and got to work with the girls as the twins were working the bar.

It was an hour later as they were finally prepared to open up for tonight but before Robyn opened up she gathered everyone for a meeting.

"Okay everyone this is a big day. Were more than likely have a lot of customers today so we need to stay on point. Milla, Tilla you two keep up with your orders." Robyn said as the twins nodded.

"Ciel, Amber, Rachael, Rina you four know what to do and don't forget to help each other out if you need to." Robyn added as the four of them nodded.

"And my cooks make sure we get the food out on time. You guys were just a little slow the last time." Robyn replied before turning to Rine specificly.

"Also were adding a little something new to the mix as well if you all noticed the piano on the stage. Rina will be playing tonight and I want her to be comfortable with the crowd before she does." Robyn replied as everyone understood.

"Okay then let's open up." Robyn said as they turned on the neon lights as they waited to get customers.

An hour and a half later the resteraunt was filled with customers along with the bar. Rina and the others were running out orders to the customers. Though people were wondering what the piano was for that was on stage which brought a chill mystery to the air. Rina kept glancing over to the piano as she mentally readied herself. She then took a glance toward Robyn wondering if it was time for her to play as Robyn gave her a gentle nod.

With a smile on her face Rina took the last order she did before going to the back and changed clothes as Robyn made her way toward the sound system on the left of the stage.

She put on a small microphone that attached to her shirt before speaking into it.

"Sorry for the interruption everyone but tonight we're doing something a little special tonight. Something to spark interest in all of you. Here to play the piano is none other than our very own Rina Trill." Robyn announced as Rina stepped onto the stage. She gave a small glance to Robyn with a nod that she's ready before sitting down on the stool.

The crowd in the resteraunt became silent as Rina readied herself her fingers over the piano keys. And then she started to play as Robyn control the colored lights turning a soft blue color. The tone started in soft as it slowly build to a softer and allow her fingers to dance on the piano and then... she sang.

I met a man, he had a dream
I tried to understand but nothing was what it seemed
Sometimes, that's how gods roll
We'd sit for hours, he'd share his plans, to build a universe
And make every part by hand
A big scheme with an infinite goal.
So i would watch and listen and try to learn
As the pieces and bits became whole.
But there was more going on than the work at hand
What I learned had to do with the strength of the soul.

There's a light that shines, and it's power is mine
Though are body's weak and breakable
The spirit is Indomitable.

Rina's hands played the keys as Robyn added other colors to the stage. Rina continued to sing throughout the whole song she played and even got the crowed rather moved by her song. Eventually the song came to a strong end as Rina finally stopped playing and after she had finished the resteraunt started applauding her for it.

Rina welled up with joy that she got the chance to do this and she also felt relieve from it all.

"You know this might not be a bad two years after all." Rina thought as she lined up another song to play for the crowd.

Meanwhile in Harriets office she was going over paperwork from the arrest of Hector and making sure everything went through the right channels. She was also going over other pieces of work that needed approved for certain projects.

It took her about fifteen minutes to get things sorted as she gave herself an approving nod.

"Good that's about everything. Man how did Ironwood do this all the time?" She asked herself as she let out a yawn as she figured she should at least be able to get a few hours rest. She was about to get up from her seat when her knee bumped her desk. She slightly hissed at the pain but then heard a loud thump as the sound came from underneath.

She looked under her desk and noticed a small black book laying their along with an empty hidden compartment.

"Hm? Now what are you?" She asked herself as she picked up the book. She scanned over the book as it felt rough and old but it look well kept. She noticed some gold lettering on the front of the book that spelled out the name of Ozpin.

"Ozpin? Wasn't he the name of the headmaster of Beacon but why is it here?" She asked herself. Curiousity filled her head as she sat back down at her desk and opened the book and began to read from it. As she began to read many thoughts began to fill her head as the book described many things that was in the world including such things like the four relics and the maidens. It also went into detail how that there is such thing like magic exsisting in this world and that the maidens are in the direct center of it all.

The book also described a woman that ruled and commanded the grimm a woman by the name of Salem.

That was where Harriet stopped reading all together as she tried to wrap her head around all this.

"Relics, Maidens, magic exsisting and then this Salem character. What does it all mean?" She asked herself.

"If what this books says about all of this then there's more going on behind the scenes. I need to look into this more. More importantly just who really is Ozpin?" Harriet asked herself as she got up and looked outside her window gazing upon Atlas.

"I shouldn't take this lightly but I don't want to go over the top. I'll figure it out in the morning." Harriet stated before heading out of her office and straight to her new quarters with all what she read still fresh in her mind which only made her worry of what will happen in the future to come.
