The morning light shined upon Asarirn's face, causing him to open his tired eyes to the new day. Asarirn found himself rested by the ledge of the building with his coat as a makeshift blanket. He knew he hasn't received that much sleep during the last week due to the thought of ambush. So instead of sleep, he placed his mind in a trance. This allowed his mind to become aware of his surroundings.

However, since there were no ambushes during the last week, there was no need to be half asleep. Asarirn thought to himself that if he permitted himself to have a full night sleep, there was a chance for an ambush. Doesn't hurt to be cautious? But, it wouldn't matter if he was cautious, he could have rested and been fine. He let out a sigh by the sheer stupidity.

Asarirn continued to rest by the ledge, allowing himself to wake up. Moments had passed before he decided to get up. His body jerked as he tried to stand up and stretch. He felt the soreness in his body from yesterday's encounter. But, that doesn't matter to him. As long he could move, he can fight. He put on his coat, properly making sure it was on right, but left the hood down.

He determined his next course of action by surveying the city. Asarirn must find these "people" before handling the organization's traitor. By letting out a heavy sigh, he knew this could be delay by a couple weeks. Hell, it could be up to month. Well that doesn't matter to Asarirn. The plan has been set for him and all he could was try. But to him, failure is not an option.

Once he finished gazing upon the city, he pulled up his hood, making sure to cover his face. The next we knew, he started to leap from rooftop to rooftop. The plan to find the mysterious people.

RWBY's Dorm

The peaceful morning light shine upon Team RWBY's dorm.

"Wake up, Team!" Ruby said cheerfully.

The rest of her team groaned to the sudden alarm that was set for them. Each of the team tried their best to wake themselves up.

"Seriously, Ruby, enough with the nightmares. You're too young for that," Weiss said as she tried her best to wake up from her beauty sleep.

"I don't know what you are talking about. It's morning!" Ruby stated, continued with the cheerfully state.

By the sudden comment, Weiss quickly peered to the clock that was nearby. The clock read, 7:00. To Weiss surprise was enough to fully wake her up.

"Wait," Yang said, waking herself up by Ruby's news. "You did not had the same nightmare from before?"

"I did not!" Ruby said with increased excitement. "It shows that I'm started to grow up."

"Maybe, the near death experience caused her to snap out of her nightmare," Blake explained as she stretched within her bed.

"It can't be that simple, Blake," Weiss said.

"Well, I don't care. I'm wide awake and full of energy. I can take on the whole day," Ruby stated as she already appeared in her school uniform.

"I can't say if this is a good thing or bad thing," Weiss said rather annoyed.

"Ah, don't be like that Weiss. At least this fixed her problem, we don't have to worry about her nightmares now," Yang sounded rather happy for her sister.

"Come on, guys. We need to get ready for school," Ruby said eagerly. Which was strange, consider Ruby didn't like lectures but in this case, she was rather happy to have fully slept.

So, the rest of the RWBY team got dressed up for their usual routine, getting breakfast from the cafeteria and then going to classes.

Meanwhile, overhead of the city of Vale, Asarirn continued on leaping from rooftops in search of any leads, he was seeking. It's has been hours, since he began his search but came with nothing. He thought of many ways to track these guys but again, nothing. Because the people could sense him tracking them, it means magic would be useless with them. So the only option was to do the old fashion, just leaping on rooftop and searching for them that way.

As Asarirn jumped onto the next building, he instantly noticed a man in a black robe stood on one of the rooftop. He knew it's one of the people from that night. But this man just simply stood there, watching Asarirn's movement. The way that person stood was like he was taunting him.

Asarirn didn't waste any time. Asarirn turned around in midair, allowing himself to fly backwards. Reached under his coat, he pulled out two knives. Swung his arm, the knives flew straight toward the man. The knives came close enough to make contact but instead the mysterious man vanished into thin air.

Asarirn landed onto the next rooftop, sliding backwards. He watched the man disappeared and his knives flew into the alley below.

"My knives…" Asarirn said as he reacted to the event. He let out a deep sigh, not because he missed the target but losing his knives in the alley. It wasn't a surprise to Asarirn that the man would disappear instantly, he already suspected the people being cunning. He counted his remaining knives: four.

So far, Asarirn debated to whether or not to go retrieve the knives. Since, he was unknown to the world, gathering more supplies would be rather difficult. So in the end, the decision was made, he going to gather his missing knives.

Asarirn leaped into the alleyway where the knives flew into. It wasn't long until he found them stuck on a wall about a couple feet off the ground. He grabbed them and placed them with the rest under his coat. "It's best to not leave any evidence here," He said to himself. With that, he walked down the alleyway and turned around the corner to leave. Well, not until he walked into someone causing the man to fell to the ground and Asarirn staggered a bit.

"Hey! Watch where you walking," the man barked at Asarirn, who was still on the ground.

"Sorry. I wouldn't expect someone to be walking through these alleyways." Asarirn had a close expectation on the man. The man had orange hair, which the hair covered his right eye. He wore a white jacket and black pants. The man wore a bowler hat and carried around a cane.

"Yeah, whatever," the man replied. Asarirn didn't like the guy's attitude.

Asarirn started to walk away from the man.

"Hey! Are you going to help me up?"

"You can help yourself up. Beside I said I was sorry."

The man quickly stood up from the ground. He used the hook of his cane to stop Asarirn and turned him around. "Whoa there boy. You should treat your elder with respect. Do you know who am I?"

"Don't know. Don't care," Asarirn replied. Asarirn knocked the cane off his shoulder and walked away, leaving the man alone.

"Sheesh, kids these days. He should be lucky, that I am late for this deal or I would of teach that kid a thing or two all about respect. No one and I mean no one is going to mess with me, Roman Torchwick," Roman said as he started to walk toward the place he needed to go.

A couple minutes has passed and Asarirn leaned against in the alleyway to recollect his thoughts. He can't decide if everyone here are jerks or some are. He declined the thought when he thought about the four girls. They seemed rather nice, Asarirn thought.

"Hey is that the guy?" A man said. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard voices toward the street. Asarirn turned his head toward the voices. He noticed two police officers were standing off to the distance looking at Asarirn.

"Yeah that's look like the murder. Hey, Freeze!" the other man commanded, as both of them drew their pistols.

"Murder?" Asarirn question himself. He doesn't have time to deal with this. This was going to waste even more time. He needed the time to find these people and fast. So, the only reaction to this situation was to run, which Asarirn did.

The officers watched Asarirn run away, through the alley, from them. One of the officer shook his head, "Why do everyone run every single time?"

"I don't think we get paid enough for this," the other one commented.

The officers finally decided to chase after Asarirn. It wasn't long for Asarirn to put some distance between him and the officers. He was going to use the small window of time to throw off his pursuers. Asarirn stop and summon his bag with a quick hand motion. He quickly took off his belt which held his blade in order to get his coat off. Next, he stuffed his coat into the bag and made the bag disappear. Then, he reposition his belt to allow the blade to place on his back instead by the waist.

With the sudden change of appearance, Asarirn walked into the street. He held his head down in hope to not draw any unnecessary attention. With that, he entered the closest building.

Inside the building, it was a simple bar place. It had many small table scattered around, surrounded by chairs. There was a wooden countertop that stretch across in front of a wall. Behind the counter, there was a large shelves of assorted alcoholic drinks. Also behind the counter, stood a man. The man looked about in his mid-forties that dressed professionally. He had short black hair with some grey hair mixed within. The man wore a white dress shirt with a black vest and black dress pants. He also wore small reading glasses. The man dressed more like a butler rather than a bartender. The bartender stood behind the counter cleaning some glassware in prep for tonight's business. The bar itself looked rather barren except for a couple of customers. Makes sense, since nobody was here during the daytime.

Asarirn walked up to one of the stools at end of the counter. As Asarirn took his seat, the bartender paused for a moment to take a look at Asarirn before going back cleaning his glass.

"Sorry, but I don't serve alcohol to minors," the bartender said as he walked up toward Asarirn.

"Orange juice would be fine," Asarirn replied as he leaned on the counter with both arms on the counter and his head pointed down. Asarirn hoped that the person would serve him some orange juice.

"Very well, one moment." The bartender poured some orange juice into a small glass and slide the drink down the counter. The moment the drink came close enough, Asarirn caught the drink with ease. He instantly took a small drink from it before setting it back down.

The bartender took a good at Asarirn's weapon before asking, "You're not from around here, are you?"

Asarirn took a moment before answering, "What makes you say that?"

Before the bartender could answer, they heard some voices outside of the bar. "Where did he go!?"

The two police officers were outside of the bar looking for Asarirn. "I don't know, I swear we don't get paid enough for this."

Soon enough, the two officers ran down the street to pursue their criminal. The bartender looked at Asarirn, who was pretending nothing was happening.

"I guess those guys were looking for you," the bartender said jokingly.

"How do you know they were looking for me?" Asarirn said with a serious tone which caused the bartender to be a bit of surprise.

"I been in this business for years, now. I seen people done the same exact trick you pulled."

"Is that so?"

"So, any reason why they were after you, don't mind me asking?"

"I would say...," Asarirn took a pause before answering. "Just a misunderstanding."

"Hmm... I see, are you a student by any chance?" the bartender asked but Asarirn answered his question with a shrug.

"Oh by the way, I need you to pay before you can get more drinks from me," the bartender stated. Asarirn reached into his small pouch on his belt and dropped some gold coins on the counter. The bartender looked at the payment and smiled.

"Well this proves it."

"What?"

"That you are not from around here," he explained. "The currency is Lien not gold."

By the bartender's explanation caused Asarirn to sigh angrily knowing the mistake he caused. Asarirn doesn't know what to expect now. He could run away and hoped things don't turn out bad. But instead, he stayed to find out what the bartender have to say.

"Do you have a home?" the bartender asked which caused Asarirn to be surprised but didn't give a respond. "I see. If you want, I can afford you a place to stay out in the back and hey, if you need a job, you could work with me."

"Why are you doing this?"

"I don't know," the bartender responded which caused Asarirn to be confuse for a moment before the bartender continued. "Usually, I don't help anybody that I do not know but you seem to be expectation just by looking at you."

"I appreciate your help but I rather not stay."

"Why? Is it you don't trust me?"

"No. I just don't want to bring my problem here. Besides, I'm a traveler. I never stay in one place," Asarirn said as he pushed the gold coins toward the bartender, hoping he could accept them as payment. "Well, it's best for me to go."

"Well, if you need to drink again or someone to listen to your problem, you know where to find me," the bartender said as he scoop up the gold coins. "I will say, your money is good here." Asarirn smiled by the bartender statement.

"Well goodbye," Asarirn started to walk toward the exit but stop by the door. "Something tells me that I will be back here again."

"I hope so, my friend. I hope so." The bartender thanked Asarirn before he left the bar to begin his search once again.

Meanwhile…

During the lecture of Professor Port, Team RWBY tried their best to listen to one of Professor Port's ridiculous stories. "And there I was, inside a Nevermore's nest surrounded by its hatchlings. I have nothing to fight against except for my sheer wits. With those wits, I made a weapon out of parts of the nest…

Yang tired her best to stay awake in class but the stories were just too boring for her. So she doze off a bit. Blake just simply sat there reading the class's textbook about Grimm, sometimes checking back on the professor to hear anything important. Less Likely it's going to happen. Weiss just patiently sat in her seat, waiting for the class to end. But as for Ruby, her mind wonder off a bit, thinking about the events in the forest. She wondered if there was a way to meet that guy again in order for to ask him about the dream she had.

"Hey Ruby?" Weiss nudged her a bit to snap her out of her thoughts.

"What?" Ruby answered.

"I have been thinking about this guy you talked about…"

"Yes?"

"Could this guy be part of the White Fang?" Weiss questioned. Blake overheard their conversation and decided to cut in.

"How could you be so sure?" Blake jumped in.

"Well think about it, he doesn't want reveal who he was, or say his name. He's probably a Faunus that's afraid of us. No offends." Blake narrowed her eyes by that comment.

"That doesn't make sense, what kind of White Fang member goes out of the way to help others," Ruby said and then looked at Blake. "Oh… Never mind. But anyway, I need to find him to know if he knows anything about my dreams."

"Aww… Ruby is still dreaming about her prefect man," Yang started to wake herself up as she heard Ruby.

"Shut up!" Ruby blushed as she picked up a small book and threw it at Yang.

Yang dodged the book with ease. "Ha! You missed!"

Ruby was about to throw another one until someone got her attention. "Ahem!" Ruby looked to see it was Professor Port that got her attention. Ruby just figured out she had interrupted Professor Port class. "Oops, Sorry."

"Its fine, Ms. Rose. Just make sure it never happens again. So where was I?" Professor Port took a moment to recollect his thoughts. "Ah yes. As I was saying before being chase by the Nevermore hatchlings and pack of Beowolves…"

"So, what are we going to do, Ruby," Weiss tried to refocus her leader at the matter at hand.

Ruby sat there for a minute trying to figure out their next course of action. "Based on what we have, the mysterious guy could have the answers we are looking for. If we can find him then we might know what are White Fang up to."

"So how do we find him?" Yang toned was rather bit serious, she had enough fun.

"Well if he is a member of the White Fang, maybe we can find him doing something important," Ruby stated.

"So when are we going to do this?" Blake asked.

"How about after we are done with all of our classes for today?"

"Finally something to do," Yang sounded rather pleased.

"Right, sounds like a plan," Weiss stated.

After Team RWBY had completed their classes for today, they found themselves in their dorm room preparing for their search.

"So are we ready?" Ruby asked their team. Everyone nodded their heads. "Where are we heading to, Blake?"

"Well based on what I found out, there is supposed to be a deal that is going to happen, down by the warehouse district."

"Hmm… What kind of deal?"

"Well that part I have no idea but the deal is important enough that not everyone knows what is it about."

"I guess we can start from there," Weiss stated.

"Are we ready to crash their party?" Ruby sounded happy.

"Heck yea!" Yang raised her arm to show her enthusiasm.

Team RWBY departed for the deal.
