Raven would always be alone, but it wasn't something that bothered her, it was just a fact. If anything, the idea that there was no one around that could betray her or stab her in the back gave her comfort. Pain was such a pointless emotion, a hurt deep inside that only reminded the person that what they had lost would never be coming back, or that they couldn't fix what had been broken. Raven had no room for pain in her life, and the night that she had lost to Yang on Patch she moved on with her life. She would be a loner once again, but not before she dealt with her apprentice. The girl had been Raven's strongest asset for the longest time, and when Raven had betrayed the clan by allowing them to be killed by Mistral forces, Ebony had sworn her revenge.
In a stroke of rage and vengeance, the girl had joined the only person that Raven was remotely concerned about, Athena Taurus. Benjamin had told her the story long ago, a story that had filled her with fear knowing that if this girl got her way, the entirety of Remnant would be decimated. Benjamin had said that at a young age Athena had become fixated on strength in an unhealthy way. She would kill their pets and animals that they had raised for food, just to assert her dominance and show the White Fang that she was worthy of the cause. It created unrest among the elders, Ghira Belladonna in particular who had led at Benjamin's side, and had suggested that the girl be taken to a mental institution. That was where the falling out began. Ghira may have meant well, but it was the first offense against Benjamin that led the Fang to do away with the Belladonnas, save Blake who was too young to understand what the decision meant, not to mention the fact that she and Adam were so taken with each other.
Benjamin did not want medicine or magic being used on his daughter, instead choosing to lock her in a cage like an animal, letting her out to use the bathroom and practice fighting with her brother. That was what she had desired the most, to be stronger than her brother… and to be acknowledged by her father, who was too busy molding and sculpting Adam into the future of the White Fang. She took drastic measures to ensure that she was seen by Benjamin, but it had the opposite effect of what was desired. She snuck in one night when they had forgotten to lock the cage and stole Wilt and Blush, killing her mother in her sleep and stealing her ability to teleport. That was her semblance paired with the sword, the ability to steal the semblances of others.
Benjamin stopped letting her train with Adam and made sure that she was shackled at all times, Adam was charged with killing her if she ever escaped again. That was the entire story as Raven knew it. Now Athena was free, a caged animal that snapped on a whim and wanted the world to know that she was strong and capable. Capable of anything. She was determined to get the recognition that she had been denied as a child, only now all of Remnant was going to pay for Benjamin's choices. And at her side was Ebony Betsalel, a girl who was hell-bent on revenge against Raven, her worst fears had come true. She was homeless and only had herself for protection. Qrow's love for her would never die, but he surely wouldn't take another hit like he had from Yang for her again.
The clan is all that matters. After we die, the clan will live on, and by living on, they will carry out our legacy, the new head will honor our legacy and the clan will protect themselves and each other. Only the strong survive, and the clan is strong together. Her father's words tasted bitter and they were utter bullshit. To that extent, she had come to agree with Athena. Raven was most certainly stronger, safer, and better off on her own. The clan had always had members that were weak, but they'd been thieves, scoundrels, and murderers. There was a sense of honor, and they would have overthrown Raven if she'd killed off the weaklings like Athena. It wasn't fear that kept Raven in charge as much as it was respect and trust. However, she'd broken all of that when she let them all die.
She stopped on the dirt path that she was on and placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, standing several yards away from Ebony who stood in the middle of the road before her. Most of them had died, not all. Ebony's face remained expressionless as they stared each other down for a long moment and Raven's mind went back to meeting the young girl in Windpath, stealing food from the clan as they had come into the village the night before for supplies. She was young and scrappy, trying to fight her way out of the situation as Raven grappled her and offered her a place to stay. The girl was instantly attached, at her side every moment possible. Here they were again, the tables turned, and the stakes were much higher.
"Raven," Ebony said finally speaking. "I know that you didn't come back for me. The only thing that matters to Raven Branwen is herself. You couldn't even be bothered to help us when Mistral attacked. Where were you if I might ask? Hm? I know that you knew about the attack Raven. Perhaps you should be more careful as to where you leave your letters from Benjamin? You left us high and dry, you were more than well aware, and you made it a point to be as far away as possible when it happened." Both of them remained unmoving.
"Step out of the way or join me," Raven spoke with authority. "Once Athena is dead you can join me once more, and we will have no one left to worry about. I'm surprised that you were able to infiltrate her ranks so quickly."
"Were you afraid? Was the great Raven Branwen afraid of dying? Is that why you left? You trained me, did you think that the job you did was so inadequate that I would not be able to protect you? If you had been there, they might all still be alive, and you wouldn't be frantically looking for a place to stay as Athena hunts you down and threatens to end you," Ebony told her. She sauntered over to Raven and looked her over from head to toe as she circled her previous master. "Athena cares about us. She is benevolent and wants to ensure that all of us live, not just herself."
"You are a fool if you believe that," Raven told her, still rigid, her hand still ready to remove her blade and attack if needed.
"Any more foolish than trusting you again?" Ebony asked. "Athena is forgiving and merciful. If you beg and plead with her to spare you, she might grant you that luxury, under the condition that you join us that is." Ebony finally broke character and let out an amused chuckle. "She really is better than you in every imaginable way, but try and keep that between us. Crimson would be angry if she found out." Raven shifted, throwing her left hand out and palming Ebony in the chest, forcing her to stumble back a step.
"Athena cannot be trusted, and once she feels as though you've served your purpose, she will dispose of you," Raven assured her. Ebony shook her head and continued walking around Raven so that she stood in front of her once more.
"Think of this as my last favor to you for everything that you did for me and taught me," Ebony said as she walked away down the road. She looked back over her shoulder at Raven. "Give up and I will implore Athena to allow you to live." Raven unsheathed her sword.
"I'm not going to leave. Until Athena is dead I will not be at ease," Raven informed her. Ebony shook her head and removed the daggers from the attachment on her belt.
"Despite everything that you did to betray us, I still thank you for everything you did do," Ebony told her. Raven stood in a defensive stance turning at the last moment at the sound of footsteps, blocking a vertical strike from Crimson who was using a mimic of Wilt and Blush. Raven knocked her away as Ebony's daggers came in, Raven blocking them as well, catching them on their way back to Ebony. She opened a portal, throwing them in and closing it as Crimson attacked again, they clashed several times, Raven's counter slices and parries seemed as if she was guiding the girl.
"And you must be Crimson," Raven stated. Crimson smirked as Raven knocked her back again, taking aim with Blush and firing at short range. Raven sliced the round in half as she dropped through a portal, the two halves continuing on their path and planting themselves in trees beside Ebony. Raven appeared behind Ebony who disappeared into Raven's shadow. Raven stepped back into the portal, forcing Ebony out and leaving the two Faunus in silence.
"I guess my reputation precedes me," Crimson said. "She ran off."
"I doubt that," Raven said behind Crimson now. Crimson swung and her blade met Raven's, transforming it into the long katana that her opponent wielded. Raven pushed her back once more, it was clear to see that Raven was physically stronger than the girl, quickly sheathing her blade and choosing lightning Dust and removing it, bracing her sword horizontally with both hands and absorbing the electricity being fired at her from Awinita. Ebony made her move while Raven was occupied and charged in with her claws, preparing to pounce. As she became airborne, Raven tearing open a portal and as Ebony exited the other side, her claws planted deep into Crimson's chest. They both hit the ground.
"Who is this?" Awinita asked. Raven's blade reached saturation and she sent an intense bolt of lightning past the girl and destroyed several trees. She glanced at the damage quickly before focusing on Branwen once again. "What are you doing here?"
"I was about to ask you the same question," Raven replied. Raven looked her over, her staff either charged or laced with lightning Dust to be sure, and some sort of cybernetic tech that looked like something Atlas would have built if they took pride in being lethal. Raven sprinted at Awinita, their weapons meeting one another. Raven was thrown back, stumbling away, managing to stay on her feet. Crimson and Ebony looked on in shock, Crimson shoving Ebony back and freeing her claws. Raven looked at her sword and then back at Mattachanna, lacing her blade in gravity Dust before pressing in again.
When the blade met the girl's staff this time, the force knocked both of them back, Raven quickly maneuvering to turn around, but had an inadequate amount of time. She threw herself into a portal moments before being impaled on Crimson's blade, Ebony quickly pulling out her daggers, still attached to the strings. They glanced around for a moment, unable to see where Raven had gone. Was she still inside of her interdimension?
"I can't deny that the three of you are strong, but it's time for us to stop playing around," Raven spoke, her voice coming from all around them. "Starting with Chainmail there."
"My name is Crimson," she told her. Raven appeared and smirked as she sliced the air in front of Crimson's attack, removing the blade from her hand. Crimson glanced back at it, a mistake as Raven was at her peak, Raven made three quick slices that no one could possibly hope to block. Crimson took two of the hits, the second enough to break her aura and also draw blood. Ebony met the last blow, holding her back with her claws. Crimson glanced down at the blood along her torso, touching her fingers to it. "A mistake to be sure."
"Crimson, not now," Athena said as she took the girl's place. Crimson was nowhere to be found and Athena stared back at Raven as she forced back Ebony and dropped her through a portal, closing it. Raven turned slowly to face Athena and they stood looking at each other. "I'm sorry if the ladies roughed you up too much, where are our manners? Allow me to introduce myself, I am-"
"Athena Taurus," Raven spoke. "I'm well aware." Athena frowned ever so imperceptibly.
"It's rude to interrupt a person in the middle of introducing themselves," Athena told her. She seemed confident, unbothered by Raven's preparedness to attack in an instant. "Why have you come here Branwen? Perhaps it was to retrieve your apprentice?" Athena watched as Ebony dropped out of another portal directly beside her, glancing about to try and regain her bearings. "I'm most certain that she is flattered, but she has no desire to leave the White Fang now that she has joined us. Was that your plan? You would sacrifice this girl to further your survival. What if I had killed her instead?"
"It would haven't mattered either way," Raven replied. Ebony's face became red and she moved to charge Raven, but Athena extended an arm stopping her, a smile on her face.
"You really are too much, aren't you?" Athena asked as she forced herself to choke back the laughter that was rising within her. "When did you get this way Raven? When I was a child all of Remnant knew to fear the Branwen clan, the only certainty that came with crossing your tribe was a quick and painless bloodbath. Now the clan is no more, and they only fear the name of Raven. Was it the spiraling depression that you fell into after your father dragged you back to the clan kicking and screaming? Did you find vitality from the idea that your life was the only one that mattered? Did your daughter not forgive you after nearly forty years?"
"I don't think any of that is your concern," Raven replied becoming irritable. "What matters is that you'll be dead in a matter of moments." Athena laughed now, she no longer wished to contain it and she threw back her head laughing loud and hard as Crimson approached from the far side of the woods beside Awinita.
"Strike me down then!" Athena exclaimed. "The difference between you and I is that once you are dead, no one will come to avenge you, but if you strike me down now, you will have the entire force of the White Fang come down on you at once. My people are loyal, and they know that every decision that I make, I make out of my love for them. We have survived because we are strong, and we will continue to survive."
"You think so?" Raven asked. She dropped through a portal, disappearing. Athena slowly unsheathed her sword, walking out of the woods to the middle of the road and watching all around. "We're more alike than you realize. Killing the weak to ensure that the strong survive? Who is the strong Athena? Crimson? Ebony? Surely you don't view them as your equals and if they prove to be weak, you'd kill them just as quickly as the countless others. No, you don't want to protect the Fang, you only wish to protect yourself. Why else would you surround yourself with such strength?" Athena offered an unamused and fake laugh.
"Does Ruby Rose at the head of the Peace Council not surround herself with such huntsmen and huntresses? Are you suggesting that Ruby only desires to protect herself? Logic would dictate that the strong should surround themselves with strength. It would be foolish to surround oneself with weakness. This is how it has always been," Athena told her. "That Rose is the most altruistic individual I have ever known of, surely not everyone at the head of power cares only about themselves. In fact, out of everyone we've discussed, you're the only one who fits the bill, Raven."
"I'm sick of talking," Raven told her. She appeared behind Athena, thrusting her sword forward to run her through, but Athena was replaced by a totem and Raven's sword caught. She planted her foot against the wooden tribal face, trying to pull it out, Crimson and Ebony charging in. Ebony dashed through a portal, coming out on the other side of the road by Awinita who stood watching in a bit of shock. Raven caught Crimson's wrist, directing her attack through the totem and freeing her own sword. She grabbed it, rolling out of the way as Crimson brought her blade down again.
"Come on Awinita," Ebony told her as she sprinted back in to fight Raven. Awinita didn't want to attack Raven. This wasn't her fight, she was only here to talk to Schnee, or fight her if it came down to it. Why had she come here in the first place? Was Athena really going to become the savior for all Faunus, or would she be their ruin once more, like her brother before her? Awinita stepped back as the armor fell from her body and transformed back into its bear form.
"Let's go back to the village Bjorn," she told him riding him into the forest. Meanwhile Raven still grappled with Crimson, Ebony joined the fray as Raven threw Crimson into her. They landed on the ground and Raven sheathed her sword, coating it in several layers of ice Dust before swiping horizontally before her, coating everything within several yards in a thick layer of ice.
"Now to finish you two off," Raven said as she coated her sword once more in fire Dust.
"Should I let them die?" Athena asked, her blade stopping Raven's as she had swapped spots with the two girls that were frozen together. Raven was perplexed by Athena's decision, lying on the ground like that would give her an extreme disadvantage unless she teleported away again, but it seemed as if Athena was finished with her fun for the day. A blast from Blush as their blades were locked threw Raven back, Athena leaping to her feet. "Could I live with that guilt?"
"I feel no guilt from letting my clan die!" Raven shouted as their blades met. Three quick strikes from both women and another blast from Blush, forcing Raven back again. The three girls weren't strong enough to take Raven on their own, but they were enough of a nuisance together that Raven was pushing her body to its limits. She had given it her all, and now Athena would remind her that she was an old woman who had half the stamina she once possessed.
"Perhaps I wasn't referring to your wretched clan," Athena suggested. Raven coated her blade quickly in earth Dust, slamming the katana into the ground and watching the earth part, giving her a moment to collect her thoughts as the ground opened up more than she initially expected it would and created a large chasm between them. Athena laughed as she peered down into the newly formed ravine. "You think that that's enough to stop me? Were you really so foolish to think that you could come here alone and defeat me, even after everything that my father has told you about me?"
"I was here only to kill Ebony!" Raven shouted, coating her blade in multiple Dusts. With any luck, the resulting blast from the instability would leave at least Athena dazed or unconscious and Raven would be able to escape and fight another day. Ideally, however, she'd kill Athena now. Athena laughed again, removing five small blocks of wood from the inside pocket on her jacket and she looked them over in her hand.
"Even now you lie to yourself, you need me dead as well," Athena yelled. "That's why I must kill you. Someone who knows not what they want but has the power that you possess is too dangerous to leave alive." Athena took the blocks of wood, placing them in a circle around her. Once she finished, she stood in the middle and sheathed her blade, holding the handle all the while as it began to glow, dim at first but growing slightly brighter with every second. Raven knew that Adam's semblance was Moon Slice, a dangerous finishing move that allowed him to cut through anything, but did Athena have something similar? Was Moon Slice genetic?
"Godspeed," Raven muttered. She slashed through the air vertically, a narrow strip of combined Dusts coming for Athena at an alarming rate and she teleported out of the way at the last moment, swapping spots with Raven. Raven was able to accidentally reabsorb half of the energy, the other half tearing her mask off and weakening her aura to the breaking point as Athena teleported back over and began her onslaught. She sliced quickly at Raven, teleporting between the wooden blocks with each attack, making her impossible to follow or defend against. Raven would block the blade on occasion, but it was mostly out of luck and didn't have enough confidence behind it to help.
"With you gone I will have nothing to fear once I am the ruler of all of Remnant!" Athena screamed. Her eyes were crazed and her attacks seemed effortless, Raven's aura was more than broken, and every additional strike left a large laceration on her body. Suddenly it stopped, it was silent for a moment as Raven hit her knees, breathing heavily as the pain set in and she winced and seethed, groaning. This was it… this was how she was going to die. "Raven. I can only hope that it was old age that has made you this weak, I really hoped for more of a challenge. I hope that in death you can finally find the peace and answers that you've searched so long for." Raven's eyes narrowed as she trembled.
I cannot die here! I will not succumb to this weakness! Athena lifted her chin and looked into Raven's eyes, seeing the fire and passion that had flared all of a sudden. She shook her head, removing the sheathed sword and looking it over. She swung the blade down, Raven could feel the heat and was blinded by its red glow as she threw up her sword once more, the Dust concoction that was still left coating the katana proved to be enough, and the explosion threw them both back, Athena landing on her back and Raven using what energy she had left to open a portal before passing out.
"Blake!" Yang yelled as she threw open the door of their apartment and stormed inside, Blake sitting on the couch reading a book, but quickly leaping to her feet. "Where is she? Where is Raven?! Someone said that they saw you bring her here?!" Blake moved quickly into the hallway and kept Yang from entering, matching her movements which was only causing Yang to become pissed and her eyes flickered. "Move out of my way Blake!"
"Where else was I supposed to take her?!" Blake asked. "She was lying in the middle of the lawn in front of the apartment complex when I came by for my break today. She was covered in cuts and was losing a decent amount of blood so I quickly came in, got Tai, and told Shadow to stay put. We called Ren and the three of us threw her into the guest bedroom and worked quickly to get her stabilized, she would have died."
"Am I supposed to worry about that bitch?!" Yang shouted at her. "You could have thrown her off of the cliff for all I care!"
"Yang-" Blake tried to calm her, but she knew that it was futile.
"And where is Shadow now anyway!?" Yang shouted. Blake looked away. "Blake!"
"She's in with Raven!" Blake shouted back. Yang's eyes grew wide.
"Are you crazy?!" Yang yelled.
"Shadow was worried about her grandmother and wanted to make her comfortable. She's too young to understand what's going on Yang, let her have this moment, it's the first time that they've met," Blake said. She stepped out of the way and Yang hesitated for a moment. "Please, Yang. You can tell her what's going on later, but let her have this moment." Yang's eyes receded back to purple and she slowly made her way down the hall, standing so she could peer into the room where the door was slightly cracked. Shadow sat in a child-sized chair beside Raven's bed.
"Are you okay?" Shadow asked. "Mommy Blake said that I could come in here and see if you needed anything. I can help! I'm five years old now, there's a lot I can do!" Raven turned only her head to look at the girl, sighing. The sigh brought her pain and she groaned, placing her hand against her side. The fresh bandages were appreciated, but it seemed that her cuts and aura were taking longer to heal than they normally did. "Do you need anything?" Raven was still looking at her but the words weren't reaching. Raven was only concerned with how fragile she'd become. Had everything in her life been for nothing. Would she die before she desired?
"There is nothing you can do to help me, child," Raven told her.
"My name is Shadow. Mommy Blake says that you're my Grandma Raven. I've never met you before, where have you been?" Shadow asked. Raven stared at her.
"I've been busy," Raven told her. Shadow gently sat on the side of the bed.
"Can I lay down with you?" Shadow asked. "I saw you trying to sleep earlier but Mommy Blake says that you can't because you're in a lot of pain, but Mommy Yang told me that when I climb in bed with her it helps her sleep." Before Raven could protest, Shadow curled up next to her and closed her eyes, breathing softly until it almost became a purr. "You smell a little like Mommy Yang." Raven's eyes grew wide and her throat closed on her. Her wounds? Was that what was ailing her now? Her chest… there was a growing pain, what was this?
She looks just like you Raven! An exact replica! She's beautiful!
Raven looked around the room at Qrow, Summer, and Taiyang as she held Yang in her arms, the baby had finally just fallen asleep, and they had all come to see the girl after Raven had come home from the hospital. Raven was dazed at the idea of this small child in her arms, she trembled at the thought. The love that she had learned to feel after a childhood of hate. It had all culminated into this little dragon. In Yang. Raven felt a tear slip from her eye as she looked at her family. How had she ever lived like she had?
She had Taiyang with her, her loving husband who promised to protect her no matter what happened. Qrow, her brother who had first shown her a way out of the clan and to a future that would give them all the world, even if that world was only the four of them and Yang. And her best friend Summer, who knew everything about her. Her deepest darkest secrets. The pain that she had suffered through. Not even Tai knew about who her father was yet. She would tell him eventually, but not until the high of their child finally wore off.
"Can I hold her for a while?" Summer asked. Raven smiled as she looked up at the silver-eyed warrior.
"Of course!" Raven beamed. She handed off the child and stood, stretching slightly but stumbling as she did, Taiyang caught her.
"Careful there my little blackbird," Taiyang said helping her regain her balance. He pulled her in and she was filled with ecstasy as the warmth of his body washed over her. "I love you, Raven."
"And I love you Taiyang," she said stealing a kiss from him. "I'm going to step outside for a bit of fresh air. Keep an eye our sunny little dragon." Taiyang nodded.
"Of course," he replied. Raven stepped out of the cabin, the sun would be setting soon and night would fall, ushering in darkness. Raven looked around the yard, imagining and dreaming that she'd be training Yang as the girl got older. She would teach her self-defense, and how to become a great huntress. The thought brought tears to Raven's eyes. This was what life was about. Without warning, Raven was struck across the face and stumbled from the house into the plants and bushes alongside it.
Before she could yell for help, the individual had grabbed her and covered her mouth, but she was unable to free herself. They were strong, and they now dragged her into the woods. She managed to bite his hand and he let go, slapping her once more and throwing her against a tree, pinning her by the throat. The man wore an outfit similar to Qrow's, it had the same color scheme, his one necklace bore a Dust crystal, and he wore a matching red hood that was pulled up over his head. The bloodlust in his eyes frightened her, glowing in the oncoming twilight.
"Five years Raven," He spoke, his speech slightly slurred, but wasn't it always now? "Did you and Qrow really think that when you left me five years ago that I would never find the two of you? I had come to expect this much from your brother, he's always been soft and delusional. If I could do it all again, I would kill him the day that you two were born, his weakness has only ever held us back Raven." Raven's eyes searched his frantically. He was a monster but worse, he was her father.
"I'm not returning with you Oriole," She told him. He pulled her back, slamming her head against the tree, clouding her vision for a moment and causing her pain. She grunted as he tossed her away and another member of the clan grabbed her, securing her arms and a second individual covering her mouth. Oriole Branwen pulled off his hood, revealing that one of his eyes was glossed over, perhaps an injury, which seemed likely from all of the new scars that covered his face.
"You will address me either as Sir or Father. You will not use my first name again or you shall regret it," Oriole said as he smirked, removing his flask and chugging hard, Raven still struggling. "It's a damn shame that there were two of you. Only two Branwen at any given time can share The Eye. Perhaps it would have shown you that I was coming." He referred to his semblance, which she was all too well aware of. His was that of prophecy, but he was unable to control what it showed him.
"Hmmmmm!" Raven protested. Oriole shook his head and glanced back at the cabin.
"You were foolish Raven, and for that, you must be punished," her father told her. "If you do not return to the clan within a month, we will return and kill everyone you love." Raven's eyes widened and she trembled, thrashing violently, desperately wanting to break free. "First Qrow and Summer, next Taiyang, and lastly, after you've fought us off for as long as you can, I will kill your daughter in front of you as you watch helplessly." He snapped his fingers and they tossed her back to Oriole who caught her by the neck and moved to her ear. "And then. You will still. Return. To the clan."
"Mmmmm!" She screamed as he quickly covered her mouth again.
"Do not try to resist Raven. It will only get them all killed. But perhaps, you don't truly care about them."
But she did. And she had no choice. She lived out the rest of the month, growing more and more hostile until there was a rift between all of them, a valley that couldn't be crossed. No one could reach Raven, and Summer became busier with missions as Qrow played peacemaker, trying to talk sense into Raven. By the end of the month, she left. She returned to the clan. And despite all of that, her father was not pleased.
He punished her. He restricted her rations. If she fought, he denied her medical attention. With every misdeed and misfortune that he wrought against her, Oriole blamed it on Yang. Slowly, after many years, Raven's mind became deluded, she resented and detested Yang. She hated everyone. They had never come looking for her. What good had come from loving and protecting them. She could only care about herself, that was the only way to ensure her happiness.
It was because of Yang she had to kill her father. And yet… Her mind returned again to holding the child in her arms and feeling more warmth and joy than she'd ever known since then. She looked at the small Faunus child that laid beside her and gently rubbed her ear, Shadow kicking her leg slightly. Raven resisted smiling.
"What a happy kitty," she said plainly. Yang was filled with conflict. She wanted to kick the door open and scream at Raven. She wanted to let out all of her hatred and hurt again in a single blow. But seeing Raven like this… It was different. Yang harbored the hatred and placed it aside in her mind, walking back to the living room.
"I want her gone tomorrow," Yang told Blake. "Whether it be Vale General Hospital or out on the street. I want her gone." Yang left the apartment and Blake shook her head slowly as she glanced up from her book as the door closed.
Raven's attempt to stop Ebony from staying with Athena failed, and it seems like she's making little to no headway with Yang. Can she right her wrongs? Next week, CBLT sets out on their first mission with Pyrrha in Chapter 41 - Train Wreck!
