"You think he is okay?" someone asks.

"I don't know. I don't even think he is human or faunus."

Noisy. Hurt.

"Why is he covered in this black ink?"

Not ink. Blood.

"That's not ink Weiss. That smells just like blood."

Ethan twitched and his eyes shot open as a jolt of Electricity shot through him. Startling the four girls who backed away from him.

On instinct he grabbed his sword and drew it. All four girls backing away immediately and dodging the swing. Ethan Stepped back as he sheathed his sword ready to draw it again.

Only for his head to shoot waves of pain through him again. He stumbled and grabbed the bed frame beside him. "No, Won't fall." Ethan grits. He sadly collapsed on the floor coughing up his black blood. Horrifying the girls watching him. Last thing he remembers was someone calling someone and then the paramedics rushing into the room.

(Later)

"Sir, it seems despite the unnaturally black blood we were able to save the man with regular blood bag and IV. He also has the same organs as a faunus or human would have as well." The doctor informs the man. "Thank you Doctor Sen." Ozpin thanks.

"Did you manage to determine the worst of his injuries?" He asks. "It was mostly internal bleeding and a ruptured lung. It was nothing an Aura Cover couldn't fix. He should be set to recover pretty soon." Doctor Sen informs.

"Alright. And what of his weapon?" Ozpin asks. "The weapon itself had no determine edge but when we tried to remove it from him the weapon had shocked my ward unconscious. Seems like the weapon is linked to his soul. As with his other features. Such as his tail which could extend. And the hairs which might be able to be manipulated by his soul or some other factor at play. Which might include his horns as well." Doctor Sen informs.

"Very well. I'll take it from here Doctor." Ozpin says. "Be careful." Doctor Sen warns. Ozpin nods and enters the room. Where Ethan looked over to him. immediately grabbing his sword as his tail extended and formed a spear blade in Ozpin's face. "No need for concern sir. I mean you no harm." He says.

"How can I believe you. For all I know you could be another one of Madakora's Games." Ethan snarls. "I assure you i'm not associated with that person." Ozpin reassures. Ethan stared him down for a solid minute. Seemingly reading him. Before relaxing his muscles and retracting his tail. Which revealed itself to be a Bushy fox tail at the end of a smooth cat like tail.

"I thank you for your patience." Ozpin lightly bows. "I'm only relenting so I can hear what you have to say. Depending on what you do say might spare your life." Ethan says turning away from him. looking out the window.

"Very well. May I ask of your name first?" Ozpin asks. "Ethan. That's all you'll get." Ethan replies. "I see. Now. I must ask. Why did my students find your injured self in their dorm room?" Ozpin says. Ethan felt his body tense as another blade of hair shot dangerously close to Ozpin's face. While Ethan was taking sharp breaths as he felt the memories rush past him. Of comrades, betrayal, and enemies alike fighting in an Enclosed area.

Blood flying past his vision as his once best friend was standing at the ruins of his home. When Ethan regained his senses he was still on edge. "I see. I'll make sure not to remind you of such anymore." Ozpin says. "No. You didn't know." Ethan says as he relaxes his muscles again.

They stood in silence for a few minutes before Ethan asks something. "I didn't kill anyone when I was dropped here did I?" He asks. Seemingly worried. "No. My student only found you injured. And while you did attack it was more out of instinct from what I've gathered." Ozpin informed.

Ethan visibly relaxed with a sigh of relief. "Oh thank Fuck." He says. Then began to chuckle. "I'm actually out of that hellhole." He chuckles. His chuckles turned to sad laughter. As tears fell out his eyes. "Then that means I won that godforsaken game." Ethan says.

He looked up at the ceiling with teary eyes. "Heh. You hear that Mark? Seems like I won our bout. Bet you're rolling in your fucking grave at that." he asks.

Ozpin watched him breakdown into sobs. Occasionally hearing the rare i'm sorry and the more common dammit. When Ethan was done he was looking out the window. "Will you be okay?" Ozpin asks. "I, I don't think so. Not now at least." Ethan says.

"I see." Ozpin nods. Ethan sighs and looked at his mechanical hand. Tapping the screen to turn it on. Immediately finding most of the functions have been disconnected or are nonfunctional. "I really am out of there. Heh." Ethan chuckles. "Where am I then?" He wonders out loud. "You're in my school for huntsmen and huntresses. Beacon academy." Ozpin answers. "So away from VoidFall. That's a relief. I guess the shattered moon wasn't me being crazy." Ethan says. "The moon isn't shattered from where you came from?" Ozpin asks. "No." Ethan says as he stares at said moon.

"How old are you anyways?" Ozpin asks. "I think 17." Ethan mentions. "Would you like to attend my school?" Ozpin asks. "Will it involve me killing others?" Ethan asks. "No. But slaying Grimm will be a part of it yes." Ozpin says. "As long as I don't have to kill more innocents I can come to an agreement." Ethan says. "Very well." Ozpin says.

When he left Ethan collapsed on the bed as true exhaustion finally took a hold of him. And for once he relished in it. Happy to be away from it all and sleep in a bed for once.
