POV - Whitley

I woke up on a operating table in a pristine white room. Around me were the sounds of a heart rate monitor and talking people. Apparently the sudden change of heart rate caught someone's attention.

"How are you feeling kid," I heard a female voice say.

"Like I was hit by a truck," I said, I know it's dramatic but Oum I hurt.

"That's to be expected," she said with a breathy laugh.

"Ok basturd look into the light and follow it with your eyes," some douchebag said.

Nonetheless I did what he asked.

"Good now stay here until Madam Belyy comes to speak to you," Douchebag says before leaving the room.

"Rude much," I said jokingly to Blanc.

"Very," she said.

"So am I going to be killed after the questioning or will I be fine," I asked.

"No, Madam Belyy will send you back to the Brotherhood after you've answered her questions," Blanc said.

"Cool," I said.

"Why were you in those woods Whitley," she asked.

"Final test before becoming a Dark Brotherhood member," I told her.

"I see and what did you have to do," she asked.

"Kill this crazy scorpion faunus," I said.

"Which led to you having that gash on your side," she said.

"Yup," I replid.

Suddenly the door to this room opened which revealed the women I had spoken to before returning to sleep.

"Have you asked him any questions Blanc," she asked.

"I only asked him why he was in the woods," Blanc said.

"I see and why were you in those woods," she asked me.

"Final test before becoming a Dark Brotherhood member, and before you ask I had to hunt down and kill this crazed scorpion faunus," I told her.

"Interesting, Blanc would you please leave us," she asked Blanc

"Yes Madam Belyy," Blanc said, before leaving the room.

"Do you feel safe enough to show me your face," she asked.

"Yes," I said.

POV - Madam Belyy

Slowly he lifted his hand up and grabbed his mask. He hesitated for a moment.

"If you're not ok with doing it then don't," I said.

But after that he took it off revealing a face I had not expected to see... Whitley Schnee.

"I know you said your name was Whitley, but I didn't expect you to be that Whitley," I said.

"Sorry for the let done I guess," he said jokingly.

"Dont worry, alright time for my first question, are you ready," I said.

"Yes," he replied simply.

"Why did you get training from the Dark Brotherhood," I asked.

"I want to fight back against my father and free the faunus if Atlas," he said.

"Interesting, who trained you," I asked.

"I was trained my Schwarz Tod," he said.

"How is Schwarz it has been some time since we've seen each other," I asked.

"You know Schwarz," I said, suprise dripping out of every word.

"Yes, he and I were very close when we were younger, unfortunately he and I had to follow on are parents foot steps and take over each others respective clans. This has led to peace between the Creed and the Brotherhood for the past twenty-two years," I said.

"I see, but to answer your question he's alright," Whitley said.

"Good to hear, next Joe much do you know about the relationship between the Creed and the Dark Brotherhood," I asked.

"No ma'am," He said.

"Interesting, do you want to know," I asked.

"That would make thing much easier," he said.

"What things," I asked.

"Before I go back to Atlas I want to try and fix the rift between the Creed and the Brotherhood," he said.

"That's not going to be easy, the reason that the two clans have been at odds for almost two centuries is because of a woman called Salem," I said.

"How has this Salem done this for two centuries, no one can live that long," he asked.

"That would be true in every other circumstance but not in this one," I said.

"Ok can you explain her to me," he asked.

"Yes I can, let me start with this question what is your favorite fairytal," I asked.

"I'd have to go with either Robin Hood or The Girl in The Tower," he said.

"I see good choices, you see all fairytales come from a true story but The Girl in The Tower is the one I want to focus on, the story is built around a girl named Salem," I said.

"Is this the same Salem that has made the rift between the two clans," he asked.

"Yes she is, continuing on, many a brave man tried and failed to reach her but none every got close. Years she spent in her tower reading, singing, and learning the arts until one day a brave wizard by the name Ozma decided to try and free her, and he did. The two fought their way out of the tower using powers unlike any you would find now. The two would travel together and would fall deeply in love, but love can only do so much, Ozma would fall I'll and no matter what Salem did Ozma seemed to get sicker and sicker," I said.

"So what ended up happening to Ozma," he asked.

"The sickness would end up killing him, but Salem couldn't except his death and tried everything she could think of to bring her beloved Ozma back to life, eventually she ran out of things to try and decide to go to the brother gods," I said.

"Wait the brother gods were real," he said.

"Yes they were but they had rules, Salem approached the brother god of light and begged him to bring Ozma back to life but he said that could not because it would upset the balance of life and death. So she left him and went to his brother, the brother of darkness. She once again aske the god to bring Ozma back to life and the brother of darkness agreed, and for a moment Ozma was back in her arms, but it didn't last as he began to vaporize just as quickly as he reappeared. She turned and saw the brother of light looking at her. He said to her 'If you can not learn the necessity of life and death then you will walk the world until you learn'. He then teleported Salem far above the fountain of youth making her fall into it, this would make Salem immortal. Salem would try and try to kill herself but nothing worked, so she began recruiting all of Remnants people to fight against the brother gods, but even with all of Remnants magic firing it did nothing to the brother gods. The brother using the his and the magic thrown at them wiped all.of Remnants people from the world. This left Salem utterly alone, and after many years she decided that she would throw herself into the grimm pools of the dark brother god, but all it did was corrupt her and turn her into a grimm-human hybrid," I said.

"But how did we all come into existence then if the dark brother destroyed all of the people," Whitley asked.

"No one knows besides Salem, but that doesn't matter slowly after centuries people came back into existence on Remnant, and slowly Salem would destroy the rising people to get her own form of revenge on the brother gods, but the brother gods didnt like seeing their creations used like this, so they decided to try something. They decided to bring Osma back in a way that would make sure he could stop his former wife. They made it so his soul would move to a new body every time he died. Ozma would find his way to Salem and they would fall back in love with one another, but it wouldn't last. Soon Ozma would began to see how the pools affected Salem and he would attempt to get his and Salem's children to safety before he confronted her, but she caught him. They fought and in the mix their children's physical bodies would die but their souls would go to another individual creating the four maidens. Ozma would go by many names as he went from one body to the next and in one of his lives he found us and the Dark Brotherhood fighting Salsms agents, he would enlist us in his fight against Salem, but this would drag us into Salems crosshairs. She as agents in both clans but we dont know who they are so we cant do much to fight them, so here we are stuck at odds and unable to fight her," I finished.

"So who is Ozma now," he asked.

"He is the Headmaster of Beacon Academy Ozpin," I said.

"Interesting," he replied.

"Well it's obvious that you were not out their to cause trouble so I guess you will be returned to the Brotherhood," I said.

"Wait, please teach me how to fight like one of your assassins here so that I may be closer to being able to seal the rift between the two clans," he said quickly.

"You do know how hard it's going to be to do that right," I said

"Yes I understand that it would be nearly impossible to find someone to train me but their has to be someone right," he said I could hear the desperation in his voice, why does he want to fix the rift so badly.

"I might know someone who would be willing to train you but why do you want to fix our problems so bad," I asked.

"Because if I can even get the two clans two steps toward sealing the rift it would show me that I can achieve my goals in Atlas," he said.

"Let look into it, then I will decide if I will let you be trained, for now just wait here until I return," I told him.

"Ok," he replied.

I stood up from my seat and made my way over toward the door and opened it to reveal Blanc.

"Blanc I have a question for you," I said.

"Yes Madam Belyy," she replied.

"Would you be able to train someone for me," I asked.

"Sure I think I'm ready to train someone, who will I be training," she asked.

"You will be training Whitley," I said.

"I'm sorry I training who," she replied, her surprise almost made me laugh.

"You will be training Whitley how to fight like a Creed member, he wishes to take a crack at fixing the rift between the Creed and the Brotherhood," I told her.

"I see, when do I start," she asked.

"As soon as his new attire arrives," I said.

"Ok," she replied.

"I suggest you go in their and get to know him, Oum only knows how long his training will take," I suggested.

"That's a good idea, thank you Madam Belyy for this opportunity," she said.

"No, thank you for taking up this challenge for us," I said.

After I finished she entered the room, the door automatically closing behind them giving them privacy to speak.

'Guess I should call a meeting with the other higher ups to tell them of this advancement'
