-Mistral-

Destiny sat alone in a room where her and Oscar were going to staying and all she did was to pass the time was look out the window, and enjoy the view provided. She watched as the people passed by as they either chatted or laugh with one another or spend a romantic evening together. She sighed since she was both bored and feeling a bit lonely. She couldn't help but think back to the little apartment she stayed in with her dad, as this scenario seemed very familiar to her. All her life she spend most of time in isolation, hidden away from people, and yet despite her being in the body of a doll, she felt like she was on repeat. Oscar had told her, he had to take care of something and had told her to wait. Though he told her he would be back, she felt like she had been waiting for hours.

She felt very much homesick at the thought of her dad, Neo, and her new friends that she made all those months ago. It's bad enough she didn't why or how this was happening to her, but… What scared her all the more was not knowing where they were and if they were even okay. She knew they would be able to take care of themselves though… It still killed her not knowing. She missed them, she missed them dearly, and she wished she could find them but she just didn't know how or even where to start looking; all she knew was Blake had taken a boat to somewhere, though she just didn't know where to.

She buried her face in her wooden knees.

"I could sure use Cristal right about now… She always knew what to do in situations like this…" She said to herself, "... Than again, I don't even know where she is either… Or if she made it out when Vale and Beacon were…"

She stopped herself in mid-sentence not wanting to think about the scenario. Though she wish she knew if she was okay, as were the others.

She turned back to the window again and placed her hand on it.

"... They're all worried about me, I just know they are…" She said aloud, "... I wish I could talk to them and let them know I'm alright…" Destiny looked up to the sky above the buildings and clouds, and looked to the shattered moon that soared high. "There has to be some way I could know where they are… They're just has to be…"

As Destiny pondered her thoughts she found a familiar blue light glow dimly from on her neck which startled her slightly. She saw the blue butterfly that was on her neck had acted up suddenly like it did before when she was some kind of ghost. She saw in the reflection of her window that her green eye had changed to white and for a moment, a blue light was soon around her body.

"It's happening again…?"

As it did before the little butterfly on her neck flew off but this time a tracing was left on her wooden neck. The small blue butterfly flew towards the door, and through the keyhole. To her surprise, saw the door just yawn open after a click was heard.

"Where is it going?"

Destiny stood up from the windowsill and went over to the curtain. She used it to slide down and get onto the floor. Despite the long distance due to her size she was able to make it to the door, and squeezed through finding the little blue butterfly resting on the knob just on the other side. It flew from the door and onto another door just down the dimly lit hall.

"... I wonder where I'm being taken to this time?"

With a deep breath she started to follow the little butterfly as it fluttered from one door knob to the next.

The only ones in the rooms that evening was Ruby, Roman, Cristal and Senka. The three of them didn't necessarily feel like going out for the night, since they were all feeling a little tired. The rest of their group however felt the need to see what exactly Mistral was like at night and what the people did for fun in the city that lived in the rocky terrain. Roman had gotten out of the hospital only a couple of days ago and the others were just out celebrating since he had fully recovered, though the same couldn't be said for Melody. Despite her only having a mild concussion she still needed time to recover her aura, and wait till the doctor gave her the all clear, which could be for a few weeks. Though Ruby had promised Melody that until she had gotten out, they would see her every single day.

Qrow had fully recovered from his injury and decided to pay a visit to his daughter. Ruby had told him, that she explained the Creature to her, and about what she did and what happened while he was passed out from the poison. Of course he was both angry at the fact she rushed into battle without thinking and was worried about her when he was told she had sustained what could've been a serious injury, and was pretty much out the door the second Ruby had told her.

At the moment, the three of them sat in the room just doing their own thing. Roman was reading a book while Cristal and Ruby were playing a video game on the scrolls provided.

"Soaring Ninja Wins!" The Game Announcer said, "Total Annihilation!"

Cristal let out a groan, "Damn it, I've been beaten! Again!"

Ruby had said triumphantly, "I learned that move from uncle Qrow! This makes it my second win!"

"Told you it was mistake to play against her." Roman said not taking his eyes off the book.

"You mean you've actually played?" Cristal asked amusingly.

"Only once." Roman said, "And I rather not mention it again."

All Ruby did was giggle at this making Roman turn red slightly from embarrassment, and Cristal couldn't help but laugh as well. "Okay, I think I'm done with playing games for the night." She said as she shut off the game.

"Yeah, I am too." Ruby said, as she turned off the game, "So what should we do now?"

"You can go to sleep maybe?" Roman suggested.

"Nah, not tired yet." Cristal said, "How about a movie?"

"Sounds like a good idea." Ruby said, "What's there to watch?"

Cristal went over to the edge of the bed and got up a shopping bag; most likely from one of their shopping sprees from when they were out on the town in Mistral. "Well, we did find a couple of good movies in the stores." Cristal said taking out the movies as she told the genre, "We gotta a couple of horror and thriller films, if you're into that sort of thing, action if you like Spruce Willis, a couple of romances, one of them was called 50 Covers of White. Though I heard it wasn't the best of romances but, we always critique that if we want to as we watch it. This really cool first person movie called Die-Hard Jerry and I even got an animated movie you might like."

Ruby's eyes widened slightly when she saw the animated movie she got out. "My Neighbor Catario" is what the title had read. Her expression seemed to have saddened at this, at the thought where she had seen the movie before. Cristal took notice of this .

"Something the matter?" Cristal asked.

"... That movie…" Ruby said, "... We watched it with her…"

Ruby took the movie from Cristal's hands to look at it. "... When we had a sleepover, Nora suggested we watch it. Though we fell asleep halfway… Next morning she waited for us to wake up. She said she didn't want to finish it alone…"

"... That's Destiny for you…" Roman said, "... She would always wait… No matter how long it took…"

Cristal raised her eyebrow at this, and Roman's expression saddened as well just at the mentioning of her. After a moment Cristal seemed to have understood reading the looks on their faces. "... You're both worried about her…" She said to them, though she didn't expect them to answer, as they both sat there in silence. With Ruby's eyes focused on the DVD and with Roman leaning his head back. Cristal looked to the both of them and tried to lighten the mood, "Hey you guys, come on, cheer up." She said getting their attention, "We've already made it to Mistral, and we're one step closer to finding her. We just have a little faith."

"That's easy for you to say." Roman said to her, "... Do you have any idea how hard it was for me when I was still working with Cinder? When she had her in captivity?"

"Kind of." Cristal replied with a shrug, "You gotta remember, I was stuck with her."

"Well you weren't in my shoes when I was… Forced to work with her." Roman said at one point hitting his hand on the table, "Every single day when I was doing what Cinder wanted… I was always worried sick about her. Scared of what she was doing to her. I spent a lot of sleepless nights having the thought of her getting hurt… Now I'm even more terrified about the thought of her being in the hands of this Salem person, the one who took her mother away!"

"I know just how you feel." Ruby said, "I'm worried about Destiny too, and scared for her. She's still just a little girl, and is probably confused to what is going on, and I wouldn't blame her if she was feeling scared too. And what's worse… Without even knowing who Salem is, who knows what she's doing to her, if she's just hurting her out of her amusement or as some kind of punishment… I'm just-"

"She hasn't hurt her." Cristal suddenly said cutting Ruby off. Both Roman and Ruby turned to her, looking at her in complete in utter shock by her words.

"What did you just say?" Roman asked.

"I said she hasn't hurt her." Cristal repeated, "Honestly I'm surprised she didn't but trust me, she hasn't tried or even made an attempt to."

Ruby and Roman looked at one another, just confused at this. Finally, Ruby had asked, "How do you know that? How do you know that she hasn't?"

Cristal looked to the both of them before saying, "... Because I saw it for myself through Destiny's eyes*."

(*Once again this is a reference back to the teaser story The Shadow of Grimm: Destiny)

Ruby and Roman's eyes widened and their jaws just dropped at this. They couldn't even find the words of what to say at that moment. She saw through her eyes?! How!? How was that even possible?! As if reading their thoughts to what they were asking, Cristal had spoken again, "... Do you remember back when I told you how my kind are made? How we extract only small amounts of aura from the first person that picks us up as flowers?"

They both didn't say anything to this, all they did was nod.

"Well, there's more to it than that actually." Cristal said, "Not only do we gain life from the person's aura, but… We're actually connected back to them. It's like a two way connection between us and the original owner of the face we posses. It's how sometimes we're able to have the same semblance as them. We can take it even further than that, but only if we allow the two way connection to go deeper. Since my sisters are working with the person you now know is Salem… I doubt they would ever allow themselves to go farther into the connection like I have."

"What are you saying?" Ruby asked, "What do you mean by going further?"

Cristal told her, "... I never told the Princess this, but… When the original owner of our face, or in this case Destiny is in a situation they can't get out of, we can give only a little of their aura back to them to help them. As a side effect to us, we're able to see what they see as well. Destiny was put into a coma and I thought I could help her by giving a chance to escape from where she was, maybe have an idea on where Salem was keeping her, or even have an idea of what she wanted with her. But… Destiny unfortunately didn't make it very far, and Salem put her back under before I knew what was happening."

Once again they were both left speechless by what Cristal was saying. This two-way connection that the Shadows with the person who had given life, who had given them their face, they just couldn't believe and could almost swear that Cristal herself was making all of this up, right on the spot. Than again, after everything they had heard from her, the fact that she's a Grimm Hybrid, the fact that she was born from a simple flower, and the fact that anything having to do with Salem had to purposely keep quiet about, they both had believed her, despite how ridiculous it had sounded.

Wait a minute, a coma?

"What do you mean by that?" Ruby asked with worry.

"Huh?" Cristal said with a slight confusion.

"You just said, Destiny was in a coma." Roman clarified, "What do you mean by that?"

"You mean to say, this whole time we've been out here trying to find her…" Ruby said, "... She's just been asleep?"

Cristal pulled up both of her legs onto the bed and sat pretzel style as she replied, "... Well I imagine it must've done a number on her when she was in the head of that dragon the night the Beacon Tower was destroyed. Though than again I'm not entirely sure, since well, that was first time I've actually seen a Grimm merge with a person. But… Considering what Ruby unintentionally did, when Pyrrha was… I imagine it must've been worse. Especially for a little girl like her."

Ruby's eyes widened slightly at this as did Roman's for the second time that night. "You mean to say you were there?" Ruby said, "When Beacon Tower fell?"

Cristal didn't answer, but she had just looked away from Ruby. "You were?" Roman said, "Weren't you?"

Finally, the hybrid spoke up, but was a bit hesitant and her voice crack slightly at one point, "... I was there. I followed the dragon back to the tower that night, to see if I could save Destiny. By the time I got there, I saw Pyrrha's aura break. I saw her try to attack Cinder with only her shield, but she had the upper hand. At the moment she had her arrow on her, I tried to shout at Cinder to distract her but... I didn't realize that Destiny's eyes were open, and at that point I was like a ghost to the world. In the end, Cinder didn't hear me, and I was forced to watch as Pyrrha was… There was nothing I could do after that…" Cristal felt a tear roll down her cheek, and she buried her face in her hands.

"Sorry, I need a minute." Cristal said.

Ruby placed her hand over mouth at the thought of this. The thought of Cristal having to go through with what she another certain thought came to her head, as she thought to when Cristal was talking in her sleep.

"She's dead because of me… I could've saved her… But her eyes… That rule… If it hadn't been for that rule… Ruby… I'm sorry… I'm so sorry… Please… Please don't hate me… I'm so sorry…"

"... What you said earlier…" Ruby said softly, "That's what meant, wasn't it…?"

Cristal turned Ruby and looked at her perplexed since she didn't quite hear her, after she had stopped herself from crying, "Did you say something?"

"Huh? Oh nothing!" Ruby immediately said, "I said nothing!"

All Cristal did was give a quizzical look before saying awkwardly, "...Okay."

"That doesn't explain what you mean by coma." Roman had pointed out, "I know it wasn't Red's fault since she had no idea of knowing about this power she has, but… You're not being clear on what you mean."

Cristal had explained, "... After I came too, I immediately rushed over to Destiny to see if she was alright, when I saw her lying on the ground unconscious. I tried and I tried but I just couldn't seem to wake her up no matter what I did. I figured that she was regaining her strength and needed the rest. But, after a week passed by when we had gone into hiding, she wasn't coming too. That's when I sensed it… Her aura had weakened, and it wasn't even recovering itself. I don't even know how it was possible but that was her condition the last I saw her. My guess is, after Ruby did… Well whatever it was, it affected not only me and the dragon but her too. Normally at least from what I've read, the power of the Silver Eyes don't affect regular people… Though in this case, because she has an eye of Grimm, well… It put her in that state…"

"Dear God…" Roman said running his hand through his hair, "... What the hell did she go through…?"

"... Oh my God…" Ruby said stunned and with realization, "... It's all my fault… I put her into a coma…"

"No Ruby." Cristal said, "You're not at fault and you know it. You yourself had no idea that the power of the Silver Eyes even existed."

Roman looked up to Ruby, "She's right Red. There's no way you could've known…"

Ruby looked down, still feeling a little guilty about what Cristal told her. This apparent power she had because of the Silver Eyes. She could never hurt Destiny and yet she did, unintentionally. Roman was right about one thing however, there was no way she could've known about it in the first place. Though she couldn't help but feel a little guilty about it.

"... How come you didn't tell us about this before?" Ruby said, "About this… Two way connection…?"

"Why didn't you even say anything?" Roman asked her, "This would've been important to know before hand!"

"It's because I can't reopen the connection again." Cristal said, earning one more look of confusion to her again, "... I don't know if Salem did something when she put her back to sleep, or if it's something I don't know about… But I tried to open up the connection again, and no matter what I did, nothing happened. If I had told you about this while we were still on our way here I knew you would all lose focus. I'm sorry I kept my mouth shut, but I had to for the sake for you all, and your safety. Destiny saw Pyrrha die in front of her… I didn't want her to lose more people, she loves and cares about. She's been through enough of that."

For a few whole moments they all sat their in silence, with Ruby and Roman taking in this new information Cristal had told them. As if they needed more questions about this whole situation, though nor Cristal or Ruby had realized that Roman had looked unsure about something. Ruby had buried her hands in her hair, "Well if ever there was a bright side…" She started to say, "... At least we know now that Destiny is okay… I just wish I could talk to her…"

"You and me both…" Roman said to Ruby, "... That's all I wished for everyday since we've been apart. I've wanted to hear her voice, even if it was only for a moment."

"Ditto." Cristal said, "... I can't just go by on what I've seen, I need to know that she's alright, that she's safe. I need her to tell me herself. Just somehow… Someway…"

Senka suddenly perked up from the bed, and stood letting out a squawk, which had gotten their attention. They saw that he looked strangely excited about something.

"Uh… What's wrong with him?" Ruby asked.

"I don't know…" Cristal said before telling Senka, "... Slow down, you're not making any-"

All of sudden he flew straight out of the room and through the slightly open door. Shortly after they heard a surprised shriek, which left them just bewildered. Cristal got up from the bed and went to the door. Ruby and Roman were about to follow behind her, but she had motioned for them to wait and she picked up her swords. "Senka?" Cristal said, "Senka what is it buddy?"

Cristal went out of the door and entered the hall finding Senka not to far, from their room; she stood in her battle stance as she slowly walked towards the small griffon. Before Cristal could say something, she suddenly heard a familiar laughter and voice.

"Stop it! That tickles!"

Cristal's eyes widened, and she stopped in her tracks. Slowly she stood out of her stance, she lowered her weapons as her jaws dropped slightly.

"No…" She said softly, "... It can't be…"

As the laughter continued she treaded softly with her footsteps as not to startle her little Griffon and she finally towered over Senka. There she saw a little wooden victorian doll just laughing and having a warm smile on her face. Than she saw what confirmed her thoughts, a familiar insignia she had seen before and the reason to why she had a blind right eye.

A blue butterfly and an orange eye that had been sitting in a pit of tar.

Cristal felt the strength in her leave her fingers, as her swords just fell to the ground with a thud, finally taking notice of the Grimm and the little doll. The eyes on the doll had widened in shock and surprise when she realized who had looked upon her as she sat up.

"... Cristal…?"

Cristal had said nothing, she just kept silent; She fell to her knees and felt tears come to her eyes. Her hands reached out and picked up the little doll, and the doll had allowed her to do so.

"Destiny…?" She said, just stunned, "... Is that really you…?"

Destiny had hesitantly nodded her head, but took a good look at her appearance still in shock as she stood, "... You look different now…"

Cristal smiled as she laughed a little, "... Shouldn't I be the one saying that to you Princess?"

Destiny found herself laughing a little too, "... You have no idea, how I much I missed being called that…"

Cristal, Destiny and Senka's attention was soon drawn when they heard footsteps come to a sudden halt. They both turned and saw Ruby's eyes just widened in shock, just as stunned as Cristal was when she heard the voice. "Is…" Ruby said, as tears came to her eyes as well, "... Is that…?"

Destiny let out a gasp, but soon smiled a relieved smile, "... Ruby… It's you…"

Ruby quickly went over to where Cristal was and took Destiny out of her hands; she looked and saw the familiar eye she had been shown to her, her sister and friends all those months ago. "It really is you…" Ruby said softly, and with a smile; she brought her in close, and Destiny allowed herself to grab onto the fabric of her cloak, as it was the closest thing she can do to give a hug, "But I-I don't understand… How are you even here? In the body of a doll for that matter?"

"I've been wondering the same thing myself…" Ruby heard Destiny say.

She soon looked to her wrist and saw a familiar beaded bracelet. "My Victory Bracelet…" She said, "You're still wearing it…"

"Of course I am…" Ruby said to her, "... I would never get rid of gift that I got from a dear friend…"

Finally Roman came into the hallway, "Hey, you girls mind telling me, what's gotten Senka all worked up about and what that noise was?" Roman said, and it had caused Destiny just to freeze up at the sound of his voice. Ruby brought Destiny out, nearly at arms length and held Destiny in the palm of her hand. Roman at first looked to her with a quizzical expression as he saw her put her hand to her mouth but his expression changed when he saw a familiar insignia of a blue butterfly on her neck.

"Oh my God…" Roman said, as he fell to his knees in as much shock as Ruby and Cristal were, "... Destiny…?"

Destiny couldn't even find the words to say anything right now. If she was in her actual body right now, she would feel tears streaming down her face. She felt her bottom lip quiver slightly as she let out a shaky breath; she reached out to him with her wooden limb, and Ruby immediately brought her out arms length.

Roman had instinctively reached out and allowed Destiny to step onto his palm. He brought her to his face, near his face, and let his forehead lean in slightly. Destiny let herself lean in and her eyes closed. Roman's eyes closed as well when he felt her wooden fingers.

"Daddy…" She said, her voice cracking slightly, "... I finally found you…"

-Meanwhile-

The sound of the a guitar was heard in a room of the hospital that filled the void in the halls. It was of a soft melody that when many of the patients or doctors or nurses heard, it would put their mind at ease with it. Qrow sat in the room as he listened to his daughter play from her notes she had wrote down, and he even found himself swaying his head slightly at the soft tune. Frosty laid curled up next to her, as he listened to what Melody had played. Eventually her song had finished with one final strum and a void of silence filled the room.

Qrow soon broke it, "... It's nice to hear you playing again. I forgotten how talented you are."

"Sometimes I forget that myself." Melody said, as she placed her guitar on the side.

"Well your certainly gonna be forgetful now after your head treatment." The Huntsman joked, as he lightly tapped on her head. Melody lightly punched his arm as she laughed, "Shut up you jerk!" Both of them shared a laugh for a moment before they caught their breath. "So uh…" Melody said awkwardly, "... What exactly did you want to talk about?"

Qrow replied, "Ruby told me what happened when you fought against the Nuckelavee, and… About how you stupidly rushed in without thinking."

Melody didn't say anything as she instead sat awkwardly on the bed.

"Here I thought I taught my own daughter better than to make a dumb decision like that." Qrow said, "You would've died out there if it hadn't been for the Creature."

"... I know…" Melody said to him softly.

"What exactly were thinking back? You know it takes a lot more than one Huntress to take down a Grimm like the Nuckelavee."

"I thought-" Melody said hesitating a little, "I thought I could take it out on my own, but… Clearly I was wrong."

"You scared a lot of people after what it did to you." Qrow said, "And who knows, the next time something like this happens, you might not be so lucky the next time."

Melody let out a sigh and had still said nothing to this; she turned away from the gaze of her dad. Though after a moment of gathering her thoughts she spoke, "Okay, I'll admit… What I did was stupid like you said. And I swear that it won't happen again."

"How can I be sure?" Qrow asked, "Considering how long you've been out here on your own, I can't exactly take your word for it."

Melody once again chose to stay silent but looked hurt by his words, which Qrow quickly took notice of. He placed his hand over Melody's which got her attention back to him. "Look…" Qrow said to her, "... I don't mean to sound like your not trustworthy; I do trust you, I'm just worried."

Melody looked surprised at this, "Really? You worried? I don't know, that's kind of rare for you dad."

"You forget, I'm both a parent and an uncle, so it is in my job description as one." Qrow said to her, "... You already had me worried enough as it is after Ruby explained to me what happened, not to mention scared out of my mind. I just want to be sure that you can take care of yourself, since let's face it… I won't always be there to save you."

Melody felt his hand shake slightly and came to realize that her father's words were true. As a child she always knew him as the cool-headed huntsman, that tended to joke around a bit; whether he was actually drunk or sober. Melody had rarely saw him scared or worried; the only time she had seen him like this, ever was back when Ruby Yang and her were kids. Whether it was an incident with the Creature or when Yang was trying to find answers about Raven. She tightened around his hand ever so slightly as comfort; it wasn't long before she thought of something.

"You can train me like you did back at Signal." She said, earning a look of surprise from the Huntsman, "Go in a couple sparring matches from time to time, so that way you can see how much I've improved or how I've gotten rusty on some things."

"Go on a one on one sparring match with my daughter?" Qrow said to himself before turning back to her, "Are you sure you want to? You're old man, might have a few tricks that you don't know about since your time at Signal."

"... I've never been sure of anything in my life." Melody said, "Besides, I think I can take you on."

Before Qrow could say anything any more a Nurse. "Sorry to disturb you, but visiting hours are over, and it's almost time for curfew." She said.

Qrow nodded and the Nurse took her leave; he stood up from his seat, and Frosty who had woken up climbed up on his shoulder. "Welp, time to call it a night. You focus on getting some sleep alright?" Right when Qrow was gonna turned to leave he felt Melody grab his wrist suddenly. He turned back to look at her and saw that she had fear in her eyes and it was written on her face. "Hey? What's the matter?" He asked her.

Melody didn't say anything, she just looked down, and tighten her grip. "Wren?" Qrow said, "What's wrong?"

"... Please…" Melody suddenly said softly, "... Please don't leave…"

Qrow looked to his daughter and recognized the tone of her voice. It's the one she had used from when she was child, whenever he had to go away on a mission, though he heard fear in her tone of voice as well. Of course he figured why she was like that; he had been poisoned and it was killing him on the inside. She must've been worried and scared for him and why wouldn't she be? When his wife Celia left she didn't have any other parent figure to turn to other than himself. Even when the other parents, even social workers threatened to take her away, he fought against them because Creature or not, she was still his daughter. He was the only other person, other than Tai that ever gave a damn about Melody. He was one of the first people that didn't see her for the monster she was. Of course she would be scared of losing the parent that ever loved her and treated her like a human being.

Qrow took her hand away from his wrist and gently pulled her in for a hug. "It's okay kiddo…" He said to her, "I'll come back tomorrow to see ya."

"... I know you will." Melody said as she put her arms around him, "... I'm sorry… It's just…I-"

"Don't be sorry…" Qrow said to her, "... I get why you're scared, and it's okay to be… Just know that I won't go anywhere, at least, not anytime soon."

Melody said nothing again, though nodded her head. Qrow kissed her on the top of her head, before they broke out of the embrace. With a simple silent wave to one another, Qrow left the room without saying another word, and Melody herself had gone to sleep shortly after.

Before heading back however Qrow decided to stop at a bar, just nearby where the hospital was. It wasn't much to his surprise that no one was in the local tavern of the city and he went straight to the stools, asking for a whiskey to the bartender, and have him to keep it coming.

He was just on his fifth glass of whiskey and the bartender had just gone into the bathroom, allowing Frosty sat on the table just watching the Huntsmen go through one glass after another, and there was nothing but silence. It wasn't before someone had entered the bar causing Frosty's ears to perk up; Qrow noticed this as the fox looked alert.

"Excuse me?" He heard someone say.

Qrow turned around and before him he saw a young boy no older than Ruby was, his skin having a tanned complexion and freckles on his face. He had short black hair and eyes that were of green and a ring of yellow just around his pupils. He had on a dirty white collared v-neck shirt with criss cross lacings in the gap, and was not tucked in properly, and around his neck he had a small white scarf; Over his shirt he had a pair of orange suspenders that had held up his olive colored pants where sewn patches were seen, with a pair of dark brown work boots to go with it. On his hands he had on orange gloves with dark gray straps and a striped scarf was seen tucked in his left pocket.

Qrow raised an eyebrow to the teenage boy.

"You know I don't think they allow kids in here pipsqueak." He said to him.

The boy had said nothing to him; Qrow saw him look to his left arm.

"Shut up, I'm getting there." He had heard him say.

Qrow raised an eyebrow to this, while Frosty on the other hand tilted his head with confusion. The young boy soon turned back to the Huntsman.

"I'm supposed to tell you…" He started to say, "... I'd like my cane back?"

Qrow's eyes widened in shock for only a moment before he started to nod to himself in understanding. He stood up from the stool causing the boy to back up slightly. From out of his back compartment he took out a handle and threw it over to the young boy. He reacted and caught a hold of it, before it had extended to a cane, which left the boy in awe by it.

Qrow smiled to the boy, "It's good to see you again Oz."

Once more to you all, thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and to those that have faved, followed and reviewed thank you all so much and I'm glad you all like my ideas.

This is Tenshi, signing off :).
