Now that Mercury and Emeralds story has concluded, it is time for Cinders turn in all of this.

She did not know where she was going but yet she continued to walk forward. She didn't know what else she could do. There was nothing else left to do. When she had first decided to follow Salem this was not what she had gotten promised.

She had promised her power, that she would never need to bow before anyone but her ever again. But she had kept her promise hadn't she? There was no need to bow before anyone anymore. This tough caused Cinder to give out a hollow chuckle.

Not even Emerald and Mercury were left, they had abandoned her. She had expected Mercury to possibly do something like that but she had to admit that she never thought that even Emerald would leave her. Had she really grown that pathetic? Or did they blame her for what she had made them do, what they had done to the world because she ordered them too?

Did she even care about that anymore?

She didn't know how long she had continued to wander the landscape when she arrived at the destroyed remains of what looked to be a small camp. Taking a closer look at it she could see the corpses of two Adults lying in front of a battered tent. Carefully she made her way to it and looked inside.

It seemed the two had tried to protect their daughter, a futile effort. Looking at the little girl Cinder noticed the red mantle she was wearing. It reminded her of that stupid silver eyed brat and off how happy she had felt when she finally managed to kill her at haven.

And not only her, she had also gotten that foolish boy playing hero. He had really thought that he could avenge his little girlfriend, that he could defeat her. It had almost been cute. But in the end he had paid for his foolishness, just like the rest of them. The look on Ozpins face when he had realized his defeat truly had been a wonderful memory.

But after that things had quickly turned for the worse. The rest of the Remnant didn't have much of a chance. They stood divided and were powerless against their assault. Even the mighty Atlas had fallen before long.

But she had not realized the full extent of Salem's madness, none of them had, except maybe Tyrian but he was just as crazy as his beloved master. She wondered if he knew how little Salem truly cared for him.

Before long nothing was left anymore, the four great kingdoms razed to the ground, menagerie nothing more then a burning pyre and any village they could find Grimm fodder.

That was not what Cinder had wanted. She still remembered the cold nights she had to endure, the hunger, the pain. When she was but a child she had been completely alone and powerless. She had seen exactly how people acted when they thought they could get away with it. After all, who would care if you let out your anger on some orphan no one cared about?

Not that those that were in the same position as her had been any better. So what if she suffered just as much as them, she was weak, and therefore easy prey. What did they care if another homeless person would suffer from hunger when condemning them to that would fill their own stomachs?

She day that Salem had appeared before her and made her offer had been the first time that she had dared to hope that things would get better. And at first it had, the training was hard but she endured everything that she was put through. It had paid off, and soon she was more powerful then even experienced Hunters, it was truly a great feeling.

And not only that, Salem herself had made her the most vital part of her plans. She truly thought that everything would be going well, that she had finally managed to become strong enough to stand above those that would hurt her.

But now there wasn't even anyone left that would want to torment her. She was standing above nobody, everyone else simply was dead.

''How would this all have turned out had Ozpin found me that day I wonder?''

But as quickly as she had gotten this thought she put it out off her mind again. It didn't matter anymore, it was far to late change anything.

All she could do was continue to walk what remained of Remnant forevermore.

Well, that was it for Cinder. Like I said her story doesn't end nearly as happy as Mercury and Emeralds. Next up will be either Adam or Hazel, I am not sure which of them yet. Adams will be a more happy one again while Hazels won't. Adams will also be a bit longer while Hazels will probably be around as long as this one. If you wonder why this one was short even for this fic with it's in general short chapters, it was because I simply find Cinder less interesting which is why I didn't have as much as an idea for her as for people like Mercury, Emerald or Adam.

As always every review is welcome.
