It was late that night, Nora and Ren and went back to their dorm room and said they would rest, though he twinkle in Nora's eye said something else. So, why they did their "resting" Jaune and Oscar were currently playing a game of chess.

Despite not playing much, Oscar had been pretty good at the game, but he was still nowhere near Jaunes level, however, Jaune himself wasn't even as good as his grandmother, Betty Miles Arc. No one in the family could beat Betty, and the only ones close to beating her were Jazz, Lily, Jessie, and Jaune, though Lily was the closest due to her being the smartest of the Arc Children.

Betty used to play chess all the time and she even told a story about how she once played a game of chess with the great Lyanna Raider, a female general of the Vacovian army who actually helped win the Faunas rights war.

Betty Arc or sometimes known as "Black Betty" was a retired huntsman and general who had fought in the Faunas rights war. She was one of the smartest Arc in the family, her mind was unmatched and she swore she would pass down such power to her children and grandchildren, however, when asked how she got her nickname, Betty would smile and tell them it would be another time.

It was almost the end of the game and both Oscar and Jaune had a few pieces left. Jaune moved his pawn to a certain spot, which confused Oscar

"A pawn?" Oscar asked

"yes, a pawn" he replied

"why would you move that instead of your other pieces?"

Jaune smirked "A lot of people forget that pawns are important, they are the only pieces that can get your other pieces back and some also forget that even a pawn can bring down kingdoms"

Oscar saw that the pawn was to the side of the king, so he then moved his King to kill the pawn.

"Poor pawn," Oscar said with a smile

"I think you mean poor king," Jaune replied

Jaune had moved his Queen in front of the King.

"Queen takes King" Jaune said "checkmate"

Oscar smiled, "you win," He said "another round?"

Jaune nodded, and they set up the pieces again, ready to play another round. As the round began, Oscar decided to start a small chat

Oscar moved his first pawn one space, "So... hows it going with that Fiona girl?" Oscar asked

Jaune moved his first pawn only one space as well, "Well, we went on another date Sunday, and It was great" Jaune said "It's actually pretty fun just being around her"

Oscar moved one of his pawns two spaces "Sound awesome" Oscar said

Jaune then moved the same pawn up one more time, "So, what about you?" Jaune asked with a smirk "any special lady in mind?"

Oscar blushed and then moved his knight "No... not really" Oscar replied

Jaune raised an eyebrow while still having smirking, "really? Then what about those stares at Ruby huh?" Jaune asked while moving another pawn two spaces.

Oscar went wide-eyed while his blush intensified, "I-It's not like that" Oscar replied, as he moved another pawn up two spaces.

"Sure it isn't," Jaune said as he moved the rook on his left side one space behind his pawn.

"beside... even if it was like that, I-I just don't think it'll work out" Oscar replied moving his knight again

"Why do you think that?" Jaune asked, moving his bishop four spaces.

"I have a thousand-year-old wizard in my head, who all of you use to know as the headmaster of Beacon, and not to mention, I could just... fade," Oscar said sadly,

Jaune looked at Oscar and saw that he now held sadness in his eyes, Jaune was aware that Oscar could just fade and all that would be left would be Ozpin or Ozma. Jaune did feel sorry for him, he couldn't understand what exactly he could be going through, but knowing that you might just fade and someone else will take over your body and life, it no doubt scared him, after all, there was not a lot Oscar had done yet.

"I could understand how weird it could become, but... I say take the chance" Jaune said

Oscar looked at him, "you think so?"

Jaune nodded, "Yeah, and I'll be honest with you Oscar, despite my dislike for Ozpin and his methods, your not him, like Ren, you're like my brother, and I know whats going on with you is difficult, but if you do fade, which I hope doesn't happen at all, I don't want you missing out on what it was like to be with someone, even if that time is short," Jaune told him

Oscar looked at him and smiled before returning to the chess-board. Oscar allowed Jaune's words to sink in and he nodded, "Maybe your right... Maybe I should give it a chance" Oscar replied

Jaune smiled and nodded, "how about we continue this game another time? I'm already bord and you look like you want to think over some things" Jaune replied

"Sure," Oscar said with a smile

Jaune and Oscar put the board and the pieces back and began to head for their room.

"Thanks, Jaune" Oscar said

"Anytime Oscar" Jaune replied

They entered their dorm to find Ren and Nora asleep with one another and thankfully they were fully clothed, Oscar, changed into his sleepwear as did Jaune, and both head to their beds and went to bed. Or tried to go to bed in Jaune's case. despite the short time being with Fiona, he had already gotten used to sleeping next to her, despite it being a small bed that he completely fitted on, it had somehow felt... empty.

Fiona was just patrolling the streets of Mantle, it was something she did now what with Salems agents walking around. She also didn't want to go to bed just yet she tried to already, but it just didn't feel right, the bed just felt empty and she was worried about him as well, she had hoped he didn't get in trouble with General Irondick. She knew she was going to at least see him tomorrow, but she still worried about him and she didn't know why because there were so many reasons.

Fiona let out a heavy sigh "I'm falling hard for the lad" Fiona told himself

Fiona knew it was just a few days, but honestly, she had found herself building such a connection with Jaune. It was just fun being around him, he was awkward sure, but once you got past that, he was smart, fun, loyal, strong, brave, and selfless. Something not a lot of guys had these days. Jaune truly was that 1 in 100 kinda guy, and she just couldn't wait for tomorrow to come.

Fiona was still patrolling by 10:00 and she was near the wall, making sure no Grimm was going to sneak their way in, luckily there was no sign of the Grimm. However, Fiona heard the crunching of snow and quickly turned around and grabbed her weapon. It wasn't Grimm however, it was a man in a cloak standing across from her. She still held out her weapon, because she didn't like the feeling that the man was giving off.

"Finally, alone with the princess at last," Said the voice

Fiona immediately recognized the voice and was about to charge bit the man held up his hand to stop here

"Easy Little lamb, I just wish to talk, I swear on the goddess I will not harm you tonight," Said the man as he began taking off his hood "I'm sure your aware of who I am"

Fiona nodded, "your Tyrian Callows"

Tyrian smiled, "Well I'd be hurt if you didn't remember me, I am the one who attacked you after all" Tyrian said with a chuckle

"What do ya want you bastard?" Fiona asked

"I just want to talk," Tyrian said, "tell me little lamb, what is the Brave Knight to you?"

"why do you care?" Fiona asked with anger

Tyrian chuckled, "My dear sweet little lamb, I care because I'm wondering what he means to those around him... what makes him and I so different, the first time I met him I sensed a great deal of pain, yet there was also something else, it wasn't until I learned from someone else that he didn't fear death, after all, he charged at cinder with just pure rage, I knew then, that he doesn't fear death, and neither do I, the question is, what makes us different?"

Fiona looked at him with rage, but a bit of confusion, in all honestly it sounded like he was just babbling. Tyrian noticed the small look of confusion on her face and smiled.

"Ah, you wouldn't understand," Tyrian said "But I just want to ask you dear lamb, would you die for him? Because I know that he would die for you and trust me, I have a pretty good guess on who will kill the brave knight"

as soon as she heard his words, Fiona knew what he was implying. Fiona was on the edge of just rushing him and fighting him, but Tyrian just smiled again and again held out his hand as if he already knew what she wanted to do, He looked at her and his eyes turned purple.

"But before the grand finale between him and I, I do need his help, which I'm sure won't be that hard," Tyrian said, "After all... there something, not even he knows about himself, and once it's revealed, will you still look at him the same?"

Before she could reply Tyrian was already rushing away. Fiona wanted to chase after him but... for some reason, she didn't want to, she was angry at implying that he'd be the one to kill Jaune, but the more he talked, the more she was confused, was Tyrian not the only one interested in Jaune for some other odd reason? What did they know about him that even he didn't know? It worried her if Jaune was a target, could she do anything?

She just wanted the next day to come quickly so she could see Jaune and make sure that everything was ok.

A/N: Again I know there wasn't a lot of Fiona in the chapter, but the next one will be about Fiona and Jaune, but mostly Fiona finding out more about Jaune from the others, including Qrow.

Also, more things will be answered such as Jaune's connection to Salem, Neo and Jaune's conversation, and Willow and Whitley will have more character development in the next two chapters, but it will be small but play a little bit of a role for Jaune's ultimate plan.

If you were a little bit confused on this chapter, sorry, It may seem rushed but It's written this way because there were more hints with Jaune's small connection with Tyrian and I also thought that I might at a little bit more of how Fiona feels about Jaune and how hard she's already fallen for him.
