"WEEIIISSSS!" Winter's scream was the last thing registered in Weiss's mind bordering on unconsciousness, her sister's despairing voice hurts even more her mind already tired of the impossible trials since Salem's attack... Emotional wounds from her childhood, compounded by the fall of Beacon and intensified by the loss of his friends.
The feeling of loneliness that came from her childhood... The Loss that came from the catastrophe that separated her from her friends... The Despair of discovering that it was the mind behind the veil... And finally, the Void of seeing her friends, your FAMILY fall to their deaths because of the interruption of their hated enemies.
Even in her unconsciousness Weiss lamented her failure to protect her loved ones, cursed not only her enemies but also her own weakness and inefficiency in protecting what mattered most and now she was falling to her death and could do nothing about it, unless you accept your fate...
A poisonous feeling snaked through Weiss's mind, a deep desire for cold revenge against his enemies... Tyran, Watts, Neopolitan, CINDER, SALEM and the damned BROTHER GODS who left Remnant trapped in the fight of two immortals, thinking they're better than humans, when they are as flawed as their own creation.
Weiss would do anything to change that, even sell his soul or make a deal with the Devil, but what did it matter? She was about to fall into the void and nothing could change that...
"WHAT UNHAPPY SITUATION YOU ARE IN, HUMAN..." a deep voice spoke inside Schnee's head, the hunter opened her eyes and realized that she was now in a different landscape, a peaceful field full of flowers, White Roses, endowed with an unearthly beauty that bordered on the impossible, "Who's there!?", the girl got into a fighting stance, her hand passing where her weapon should have been.
'Shit, I must have lost Myrtenaster during the battle... Wait, shouldn't I be dead?!', "ACTUALLY SHOULD BE HUMAN...", Weiss turned around and saw a strange figure walk away. approaching and when he finally realized who it was his eyes widened, "Shouldn't that be possible... Grandpa?" She muttered under her breath, not realizing that the figure had answered her thought.
"HELLO WEISS, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN MY GRANDDAUGHTER" Nicholas said impassively as he walked over to Weiss, the Atlesian accent building in mid-sentence, the illusion now complete, "Where are we, Grandpa? I don't recognize this place... Are we in the afterlife?".
A dying mind is much easier to manipulate and deceive than a healthy mind, "WE ARE IN MY MENTAL LANDSCAPE BUT... OF YOU LOOKING SO SAD…WHAT HAPPENED?" part of reality came back to Weiss, sadness registering again in his brain now that the surprise had passed. The Void had returned once more to the ice princess's heart.
Weiss dropped to his knees, as if gravity suddenly became ten times heavier, as tears streamed down his face and his body shook like a leaf swaying in the wind, "I-I failed… I couldn't protect them, I wasn't. strong enough... I don't deserve the Schnee name... I don't deserve to live..." She said in an inaudible whisper, her fists clenched with incredible force.
"GET UP MY GRANDDAUGHTER, A SCHNEE NEVER FALLS, HE RECOVERS, LEARNS AND STRENGTHENS. YOUR FAILURE IS NOT THE END FOR YOU OR YOUR FRIENDS", the tears stopped for a brief moment and the hunter lifted her face to look at her grandfather with hopeful eyes, "W-What do you mean it's not the end?", a smile Warmth emanated from Nicholas as he knelt to be level with Weiss.
"I CAN SAVE YOU AND EVERYONE WHO FALLEN, I CAN GIVE YOU THE POWER TO TAKE VENGEANCE ON ALL YOUR ENEMIES, FROM CINDER TO SALEM AND EVEN THE GODS OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS, ESPECIALLY THEM…", the girl now she was totally focused on her grandfather, there was a strong glint of hope on her face, she had been hooked by his promises, "Can you really?"
"YES I CAN, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TAKE MY HAND AND YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS WILL GO TO ANOTHER UNIVERSE, THERE YOU WILL HAVE TO BE BAPTIZED TO GET MY POWERS TO NOT ONLY GET AVENGEANCE BUT ALSO PROTECT THEM FROM SALEM," Nicholas held out his hand to Weiss, "Baptized?"
"YES, UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE YOU INHABIT ANOTHER UNIVERSE, YOUR BODY IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MY POWER, BUT BY BEING BAPTIZED IN THE UNIVERSE I SEND YOU IN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ACCEPT THEM, ALL YOU NEED TO DO WHEN YOU ARE BAPTIZED IS CALL FOR ME", there was a confident smile on his face and as suspicious as Nicholas's circumstances and lines were, Weiss was blinded by her dying mind.
She reached for the figure and they both closed the deal, "Thank you so much for the second chance grandpa", Weiss said before being swallowed up by the darkness, "DON'T DISAPPOIN ME HUMAN" the figure said disappearing into thin air as if it never existed to begin with. The landscape collapsed into absolute darkness with the absence of the two...
