Sorry for my bad english.

The little group what attacked Miles didn't stand a chance against the him. He finished the last one and clean the blood from his axe. He walk to where a big rock was and throw it away, under the rock was Ceodore.

-Master,i could hide myself in the forest, y'know?

-See that like e exercise to when you need to hide in a tight place.

Ceodor cleaned the dirty and follow his master who was already walking away. None of them notice a figure hiding in the shadow watching them going away.

-The boy called him master? -He asked to himself. -This must be reported. -He heard the groans of his allies. -Oh yeah,first call medical assistance to them.

And like that, Remnant discover about Ceodore.

Mercury give a brief nod to Emerald from the corner and she nodded to Cinder. Now that she have sure that nobody would meddling her business, she give a call to her associate. Right in the first ring, Roman answered the call.

-Thank god you call. I swear if Neo spoke one more word about how she is bored, i would shoot myself.

-It seems that you gonna shoot yourself then, i just call to know if you was able to get what i asked.

-Yeah, i get it. For a low price actually. I will have by the night.

-Good. Now, be careful, you know how precious is the item.

-You're speaking with a professional. Don't worry. But what about his apprentice?

-He is been very valuable to information. Soon, i will get what we need. So be patient.

-I wish you could say that to Neo... Oh, don't look at me with that face. Sometimes you know that you talk too much.

With that, the call ended leaving Cinder wonder how could be the item be sell with so low price. Then she remember why she haired Roman to help her.

Library

To anyone looking from away, would seem that Ren and Ceodore were having a staring contest. The two boys look to each other like were trying to open their heads with their vision.

-Talk about what?

-The way that you are acting in those days.

-What do you mean?

-Avoid me is one thing, but now you just keep wandering around alone like a beaten wolf.

-You know that i am like that.

-And since when you walk around without Nora?

-She know when i need to be alone.

-But you have being alone for weeks. You forget completely about her.

-I would never forget about Nora. -Ren's voice have some hostility in his tone.

-Really? So why she is not here with you?

-Like i said before, she know when i need to be alone.

-Right. So what was the last thing you spoke with her?

-You would know?

-Just answer.

-She was talking about your master.

-And when was that?

Truth to be told, make a month already. Just now Ren notice how distant he become with Nora, but he will not let his apprentice scold him about that.

-And why exactly you care?

-Because she is my teammate and your best friend. Look at you like that is demoralizing her.

-And you know why i'm like that?

-I would know if you have told me.

-Is because the murderer of your master.

Ceodore would feel anger grow inside him right now, but instead he felt sorrow.

-Oh. Right.

-Do you have any idea what kind man he is?

Ceodore give a long breath before spoke.

-A bloodthirsty warrior, who not care about nothing in this world. Not even his own daughter. -If Ren wasn't surprise before, he just become. He expected to him try defend the man who take care of him for so long. -I not gonna lie, i know what kind person he is. -He brush a little of his hair, showing a scar on his forehead. -You know how i got this?

-It was him?

-No. Once when we were traveling, we found a little group of people that were being attacked by a pack of Beowulfs. I told to him that we had to help them, but he just told me "I have to do a lot of things, help the others is not one of them". He walk away and i, with just a short sword, went to help them.

-Even like that, why did you keep traveling with him?

-And why are you friends with Nora?

-Nora and you master are two different persons.

-But the reason is the same. He was not only my master, he was my friend. He not care about something already make a long time, but he took care of me even like that. He would just refuse to train me and left me in a orphanage or something like that. Instead he took care of me, train me, make me the warrior that i am today. You and Nora are two completely different persons, but i can see how she care about you, and how you care about her.

-It is different.

-How?

-You have nothing against Nora.

Then Ceodore notice.

-But you have something against my master.

Ren for the first time broke the visual contact with the apprentice. He look down on the book on the table, remembering about everything what happened to him.

-Me and Nora... we are orphans. -Ceodore didn't change his expression, he just keep listening. -Because of him... because of Thanatos, the terrible Dark Knight of Remnant, we lost our parents. He infected my father and killed my mother and for no reason, killed Nora's mother too. Later on that day, in the hospital, i have to see my father die slowly and painful because your master infected him. -Ceodore didn't spoke, he knew something was wrong with what he said. -I have to hear Nora's cry on the night because she missed her mother. She always forced a smile to me, to not make me worry about her, but deep i knew that she was suffering like me. I swear by her cries, by my parents and her mother that one day, i will make Thanatos pay for took everything from us.

-And what this promise have to do with me? I'm not my master, you know?

-Ceodore, what would happen if we become friends? Do you think that just because of that would make me forget the promisse that i made a long time ago? Would you stand in my way when come the day that i will face Thanatos? Would you support me in my promisse?

Ceodore didn't spoke immediately. He took another deep breath and answered.

-No, i wouldn't. But i wouldn't interfere either. -Ren's eyes look back to Ceodore. -It is your promisse, why i would want be in the way? I never put myself in my master's battles. I knew that his opponent have people who care about them. That have people waiting for them come back. I know more than anyone how his attitude can mess someone life. Once i asked to him why he do this. Why did he dothat. -The same question that Ren did when he kill his parents. -His answer was-

*Flashback*

-It is self defense.

-W-what? -Asked Ceodore didn't understanding what his master was talking.

-They want kill me, so i just fight back. There's no mistery.

-But still not answer why did you kill them?

-Because they would come back for more. Believe or not, kill them is less painful that let them alive.

-How?

-Some of them dedicate their lives only to the purpose of defeat me. With that, they left their lives behind, ignoring all their loved ones. Everyone around them feel a lot of sadness to see them becoming a souless body with nothing but thirt for revenge. Remember of that white crusader? -Ceodore nodded, Robert the white crusader. -I pretty sure that would have happened to him if i didn't have killed him.

-You don't know that. Maybe he would know how strong you are and let you alone.

-Ceodore, i fought with a lot of opponents in my life. I can read someone like a open book. If his fame was so big like you said, so lost to me would have left a big scar on his ego. -Ceodore thought in his master words. Robert was a famous huntsmen, so he wasn't not used with defeat. -In a way or another, his family would suffer. Or with a lost of a loved one or with the one i defeat forgeting about them and focus only in have a rematch with me. You understand now, Ceodore?

Ceodore look to the floor, absorbing his master's words.

-Yes. No matter with who you fight, how you deal with it and if you kill or not. In the end, someone will be suffering with your actions.

Ren listened Thanatos words, but make no expression.

-I understand how is make a promisse to someone. I promissed to my dead parents that i would become strong enough and save the many lifes as i can. If you have to fulfil your promisse, i won't stop you. But at least don't make this promisse forget about the one who care about you. -He said pulling his scroll from his pockets and showing to Ren the picture he take from how Nora was feeling. All anger Ren was feeling was replaced by guilty and sadness. Just the look on Nora's face on the picture make him feel like somebody just punch his stomach and got off all air from his lungs. Ceodore erase the picture and continued to talk. -Different from me, you have someone in this world who care about you. Don't let her go because of a promisse.

Ceodore got up from the chair and start to walk to the exit.

-Ceodore. -Ren called him. -What do you mean by different from you?

Ceodore stop walk to answer, but didn't look to his teammate.

-When i decide to come to Beacon, my master last words to me were "If you go through that door, you don't need to come back".

With that, he leave the library, letting Ren alone to think about their talk, and even in Thanatos words. This come to two pair of ears that was listening their conversation from the other side of of the library. Yellow eyes left the monitor and look down for make the same thing with her teammates lately.

CNVL Room

The red dress was lying on Pyrrha's bed. She look to the dress thinking in what the apprentice would think of her if he see her wearing something so formal like that. Make a while that Pyrrha discover that she fall in love with Ceodore.

She once dreamed that she was standing in front of a bed filled with rose petals and wearing the same dress on her bed. Then come Ceodore with a formal suit. He carried her in bridal style, she asked what he was doing while was blushing, he just walk to the bed and gently put Pyrrha on the mattress. She tried to get up, but Ceodore go to the top of her with his hands on the side of her body. She stare to his dark blue eyes what were showing second intentions. Then his face come closer of her own and...

Pyrrha put both hands on her cheeks in embarasement, her face red like a tomato. She never dreamed with a boy in that way before. The boy in question come from the door. She turn around and notice his face.

-Ceodore, something is wrong?

-I just talked with Ren.

-Oh! How was it?

-I don't know. We can only wait to see. -He walk to his bed and sit down. He notice the red dress. -You will wear that to the Dance?

Pyrrha look to her dress and back to Ceodore.

-Yes, i will. What about you?

-I got something formal.

-How?

-A ninja with a scar on the nose will got one to me. Just don't ask how. -Pyrrha nodded. -So, how many guys already ask to you?

-W-well. No one, actually.

-Really?

-You would be surprise of how this is normal.

Actually no, he wouldn't. One of things that his master teach to him about womans is that when more prettier the girl, more lonely she is. Pyrrha undouptly is a beautiful girl, no one can deny that. With her beauty and talent, wouldn't be too much guys around who have courage to even talk to her. He asked about the guys for formality. But she pretend go to the Dance alone? Ceodore being a getleman, wouldn't allow that.

-Y'know? Nineteen nine percent of the girls of the school don't like me. -Pyrrha look back to him. -So what about i take you to the Dance?

-C-Ceodore? I-i...

Pyrrha's mind

-YES! YES! YES! YES! ONE THOUSAND TIMES YES!

Come a plane and make with a smoke the word YES.

A angel appeared saying:

-Say yes my little girl. He just asked to you. Don't let go that opportunity.

A mini version of Pyrrha dressed as a cheerleader appeared.

-Say yes girl, will be your night! Like with a grimm, go for your man and FIGHT!

-I would love.

-Then is marked. I gonna get that formal suit from the ninja boy. -He said getting up from the bed and leaving the room, before he close the door, he spoke. -I look forward to see you in that dress.

Ceodore close the door and didn't saw that Pyrrha's cheeks were with the same color of her dress.

? ? ?

The man wearning a suit leave the bullhead and walk directly to the desk in the middle of the warehouse. In the other side of the desk was Roman smoking a cigar. The man put a suitcase on the deks and open it. In the suitcase were some dusts with a dark purple color.

-Miasma dust. -Said Roman. -With such a low price.

-Y'know that the price will not be cheap. -Spoke the man, then he start to cough, but continued. -The price didn't change.

-Oh, but will change in a couple of seconds.

-What make you *cough cough* say that?

-How long make since you got the miasma.

-Make five months.

-And will make six months and three... -The man look skeptical to Roman. -... two... -Then he star to feel his heart hurt. -... one... -The pain was unbearable. -... zero.

The man fall from the chair completely dead. Roman close the suitcase and enter in the bullhead where Neo already was waiting for him.

-Like i said Neo, with such low price.

Roman leave the place with the miasma dust in his hands.

End of the chapter. Ceodore talk to Ren, invited Pyrrha to the dance and Roman got his hands in dust made with miasma. Now, about Neo talking too much out of the scene is a joke. Was told that she would have a voice actress, showing that she can talk, but she didn't spoke a word in the entirely volume 3. So in this fic she gonna talk, but will never be see.

Next time Fernando will try resolve the problems of Ruby and her sister.
