Heya guys, Critica here! First. Merry late christmas and happy new year. Second. Honestly I am having massive writers block. I didn't know what to write so I started this! Any ideas are up for adoption!

Recording start. Playing entry number 1/12. Playing part 1/1

"Hello. I am Lie Ren" Ren coughs and adjusts his collar. He looks around the forest he was in with tired and puffy eyes. He seemed to have been crying

"Please, call me Ren from now on however. Or just forget me and my name. . . . . . . I don't know which is better to be honest" a tired and insincere chuckle came from his lip. It quickly died down and turned into him just staring at a spot off-camera "I'm sorry I'm. . . I'm okay. I swear. Just tired ya know"

"Yeah you probably don't know. People weren't really meant to know about the truth of what we did, however since I'm the last remaining I should probably record what we did somewhere, there is a possibility Ozma comes back. For all our sake I hope he can rest now that Salem is gone"

He walks a bit away from the Camera and stares into the distance. His expression grew slightly worried as he apparently saw something, however he quickly got to the camera and grabbed it in his left hand and started to walk away "I've been stationary too long. I'm not in any real danger unless I fail to get to vale. Luckily I'm not that far from it so enough time to tell people the tale"

Ren sighed as he rubbed his face with his empty hand. He seemed to be contemplating if what he was gonna do was a good idea or not, eventually he did decide to still tell about it "Ozpin would open with 'what is your favourite fairy tale' or any variation of it. However I don't have the time to list some off so I won't be as cryptic as him"

"8 years ago beacon fell. It was the first of many. 7 years ago haven fell and ago Atlas fell, the latter literally. This was all organized by a woman named Salem" Ren began to slightly slow down, seemingly not thinking the danger was that close to him "Finally we managed to ward of Salem at the clash at Shade and from there we actually managed to defeat the witch. We drove her back to evernight and finally stop her"

Ren chuckled. This time he actually sounded happy thinking about how they managed to beat Salem but his mood quickly devolved again "I was not in the room for that battle. During a battle against one of Salem's luitenants named Tyrian Callows I was wounded. His semblance allowed him to cut into my stomach and left leg multiple times. I survived but couldn't join the final fight"

"Something happened while they were fighting Salem. I have no idea what other tha- oh brothers" Ren suddenly turned around and after seeing what looked to be a white shape quickly approach him he began to sprint towards where he was going. His breathing frantic as he clumsily hooked the camera onto his pants

The running went on for quite some time, his exhaustion only beginning to show very long into running. The sound of metal scraping against metal could be heard all through the recording but quickly faded with Ren's exhaustion. Finally Ren sprinted through what looked like a gate at full speed while the white shape actually started to move the other way as Ren reached through the the main road behind the gate. Slowly he moved into a alleyway and leaned against a wall, catching his breath before with shakey arms he reached to the camera and unhooked it

"Sorry for that. I thought he was farther away but it seems like I miscalculated" He kept leaning on the wall for quite some time before starting to move through the alleyway. It took quite some time before he finally talked again

"As I was saying. Something happened to the others while in that room fighting Salem. They seemed fine originally but as we grew older they. . . . Changed" Ren began to walk a bit straighter as he kept off the main road mainly and entered alley after alley "they all changed. Except me. Slowly the changes became worse. I first noticed it in my own team, then in Team RWBY and then finally in our friends"

Ren sighed and ran towards a house, reaching into his pocket with his empty hand and fishing out a key. Quickly he put the key into the lock and opened the door. With the same speed as before he closed the door behind him, slamming it shut and apparently making some people in the house wake up

"Lately they've gone too far. From Blake making the white fang more violent to Weiss actually making the SDC have slaves! With their notoriety and sway over most kingdoms councils they somehow get away with it" Ren heard something as he placed the camera on a table. Softly, what sounded like 2 children and 1 adult walked down some stairs off-camera. Ren's sad expression brightened up a lot as he heard the people

This time unlike with the white thing Ren waited for the people and actually held his arms open for the people. And as the noises suggested 2 children and a adult walked into the room. The children were obscured by the camera angle however the adult was not. The adult turned out to be a woman. She looked a bit older than Ren and was a had the same shade hair as him. The main characteristics of the woman were her obviously pregnant belly, her prosthetic left arm and the cloth covering her missing eye

It was Cinder Fall

"Hello honey~" she said as she leaned on a chair, still a bit tired from him coming here pretty late and supposedly waking her from her slumber

"It's good to be back" and with that Ren took his eyes of his children and Cinder for a moment, only for his scowl to turn into a genuine smile in his lips

"Hello sugar cube" Ren said and reached for the camera, about to shut it off as he could be heard saying "hello honey" before finally it was gone
