~Chapter XIII – Snow~

Qrow and Margro sit, looking as he then says "What is your favorite fairy tale?" as he grabs his flask and opens it. And soon after,

he starts to drink what's in the flask.

Margro isn't sure what he means, and says "..Wait, what exactly do you mean by that? As she sees Qrow quickly drinking. He then stops, and says "Fairy tales. Stores that you must of heard of from your past." as he looks at Margro. Margro thinks and says slowly.. "Well...i barely know any..maybe one or two." with Qrow saying "Name them."

Margro thinks, as she slowly says "...well, there is The Tower but the rest is hazy, why?" with hesitation. Qrow then says "Perhaps I can tell you one story called The Elements?" to which Margro says "Do I have a choice?"

Qrow starts.

"A long time, there was once a castle far in the north; and at that castle, lies a king. The king had a lovely queen, that was someone that he loved. But, five years after the birth of their most precious daughter; the queen fell ill with an uncurable cold that he couldn't find answers at first. And so, he set a offer to anyone within the kingdom. Everyone was assigned a chance to live within the finest quarters if someone cures his sickly wife.

Little over a month past and the queen was growing much more sickly and much more ill than ever before. So the king was getting tired of waiting and ordered a high class dust specialist to help him. Little did he know, that the Specialist was a witch. This witch, demanded the aid of five young hunters and huntresses.

The king abides as he didn't want to risk losing his queen as soon enough, she had her five hunters and Huntreses. The thing he did do, as he didn't want any issues was that each individual had some issue they had. Either mentally or physically. The witch was furious, as she pestered the five helpers to go and stock up at several areas again and again; even if it was already taken cared of.

Suprisingly, the five didn't mind. In-fact, they helped the woman by any means; trying to give advice and giving her supplies for tests. As time went on, the witch saw that they didn't care of their well being and was surprised. Even though, she kept herself quiet; the five had a suspicion of it.

Soon after the revelation; the witch finally found a cure that she could try. The cost, was that she would of cursed the queens child. The servants tried to stop, telling her that there isn't need to curse anyone. But the witch didn't listen.

Day's after not listening to them, she goes to the king and queen that she found the cure and that she would have to cast a spell to make it work. The king was fine, but cautious at the same time. And so, she started to commence the curse. But before she could finish, she stopped. The curse was still being cast, as she then enchants the curse to work without the harm being placed onto the child. The king was happy to see quickly after that his wife was feeling much better.

And in-turn, the witch was never shown of being who she actually was, with her being rewarded. But there was one request, and that was to have some time with those that helped her. The king allowed it, as the five individuals came with her into a forest.

The witch told them her emotions and that she was influenced by the five individuals. And in turn for that, it showed her to think of what she would do before acting upon it. And in turn, the witch granted them all special gifts. Those gift's allowed them to live free lives where they can use the very elements of nature for their well being. Those five elements were of Ground, Fire, Snow, Air and Life. They we're called, the five wielders as they sought out to give the world resources that the maidens could not."

Qrow then observes the summer leaves starting to fly around from the window. Margro then says "The witch changed her ways in the end then?" with Qrow looking at the window. Qrow says to Margro "No. Not exactly." as he grabs his flask. He opens it as Margro asks "That was..an interesting story." with Qrow drinking the last of the flask's alcohol.

Qrow drops the flask onto the ground, as he moves his chair closer to her. He then says "What if the story I told you, was true? What would you think of that?" with Margro not sure what to say. Qrow waits patiently as he waits for a response, to hear "...what do you mean by that?"

Qrow starts to speak "What if I was to tell you that everything in the world has been connected by the means of two people; and two people alone. What would you say if all of that was true? What if there we're two forces in this world that is considered forgotten and most considered as tiny fairy tales? What if, you are apart of one of them?"

Margro's eyes widen as she says frantically in an unsure tempo "What the hell are you talking about?" with Qrow staring into her eyes. "Margro Hunt, I was sent here because my leader insisted to me that you, are the wielder of snow." as he leans back in his chair; seeing the facial expressions that Margro has.

He sees of Margro's eyes being shifted from multiple expressions. From her first being of shock to before she speaks in confusion "What the hell do you mean by a Wielder?" with Qrow saying quickly "A wielder is an individual that was gifted with a power that only few with certain skills can have." Before he could say anything more; he heard the sound of a mis-step that someone made right outside the door.

Qrow quietly went next to the door and kicked it open, and as he kicks it he sees Carmine Jane along with Winter and another friend of Carmine; Harriet Terra. Winter, looking furious while Carmine and Harriet looking confused. Winter says "So, Branwen. What was it that you were talking about, of something that you didn't express to me before?"

Qrow says "You've listened to what I've said to her!" with Winter saying "From the beginning. Hell, I have it recorded too." as she plays back the audio at certain parts. Qrow says, "Why then! You could of came in Winter and I wouldn't of had a damned problem."

The two argue until Margro shouts "I get it!" causing the four of them in the hall to stop what they would be doing. Margro says "..Look, right now; Branwen was trying to tell me of something that none of you, besides Qrow should even care. And even if Winter is here to supervise me, it's not like that I have been alone before. So please, can we just drop the fighting for ten minutes?"

Winter and Qrow glance at each other, right before Margro says "I don't care what people believe in, whether or not if I'm some prophet or not. It's all bullshit, and I don't want any part in it!" with Qrow saying "This has to be something of your concern. Not in the manner of your personal being, but for everyone-" as Margro interrupts him with "No, it shouldn't be of that. I never asked for it, and I want out. I wanted to help Vacuo by any means I can, as I have screwed up by so many reason's."

Everyone else in the hallway and bedroom is quiet, until Carmine asks "Have you ever considered talking with your leader on possibly convincing both of our head's of merging the two?" with all of them, besides Carmine and Harriet say "Wait, what?". Harriet and Carmine enter the bedroom, as Harriet say's "In the past, there have been merging of various sections of the government to allow more work to be done in a shorter period of time."

Winter says, "But wait, why wasn't this mentioned in the early meetings of the forming of the organization." with Qrow quickly saying "Perhaps its that they didn't want that to happen. Even though it could make sense, it does cause possible political turmoil for the kingdoms involved if certain things happen." as they hear the footsteps of another individual coming to the area shouting "For Margro Hunt, Qrow Branwen, and Winter Schnee." as all of them turn seeing the one saying in the doorway.

Almost instantly, Margro's eyes widen as she got up and walked to see the person as Margro said "..Aqua?" with the person saying "Nice to see a familiar face once again, partner." as Aqua smirks. Margro says a second after "What do you need to tell us?". Winter says "Before we go with anything on this, Branwen. In a few, I need to talk to you in private."

Qrow agrees as all the individuals follow Andrast to a communication room with a pending call. Andrast said, "Margro, it's for you." as she walks sees the scroll that Margro has on speaker; attatched to two audio speakers alongside the room. Margro slowly comes to the scroll as she says "...This is Hunt speaking, Elena; is this you?" as there is a moment of silence. Shortly after, they all hear "No, this isn't Elena..but it is someone that was with her." as she knows that it's Auro.

Margro sees Winter walk to her saying "Petersmith, is that you?" as Auro speaks from the cabin "It is indeed Auro Petersmith..but, perhaps that shouldn't be what you call me anymore. I am calling you on quick terms as me, Elena and a few other individuals need help. And more importantly, we need help as fast as god forbid possible."

Winter asks "Why is that Auro?"

There is a moment of silence as Qrow says "Perhaps the transmission is starting to filter badly?". Soon after, they hear the sound of someone picking up the scroll from the other end "It's not filtering badly..but it is nice to hear an friend again, Margro." as Nao says those words. Nao says "Winter, I need you to bring anyone and everyone that you can possibly get to our coordinates in Mistral. Because Me, Elena, Auro and two other individuals need help as we know what we need to do. And in so, it's going to require us to give it our all."

Qrow says "And what is it that objective that you need any form of help with?" as Nao says "To stop an individual from taking full complete control of the underworld within Mistral."
