~ ~ ~ One day after (F/n)'s Ritual ~ ~ ~

"What do you mean he's gone!?" Rogue asked, clearly pissed off.

"Rogue, calm down. We're all pretty upset by (F/n)'s disappearance," said Nickel.

Team RWBY, Sylph and Qrow were in Ozpin's office discussing about (F/n) disappearance.

"Qrow, do you know what could've happened to cause him to run away?" Ozpin asked in a serious tone.

"Nope. The last time I saw him was after we departed at the Bullhead," Qrow lied.

"Ehm... P-professor Ozpin?" Ruby lifted her hand shyly.

"Yes, Ruby?"

"I-it might h-have been my vault," she said as tears started to form in her eyes.

"Ruby, what are you talking about?" Nickel asked, getting worried.

"I... I ATTACKED HIM AND TREW HIM OUT OF THE WINDOW!" she screamed as she fell to the ground and started to cry hard.

Everyone went silent after she said that. Nickel looks towards Rogue and he can practically feel his murderous intents.

"You. Did. WHAT!?" Rogue snapped.

"Rogue, calm down," said Nickel as he put his hand on his shoulder.

"Fuck that! What the hell give you, the most innocent girl of the entire academy, a reason to send (F/n) out of a fucking window that three stores high!?" Rogue screamed as he tightened his grips on his Katana.

"Back off, Rogue!" Yang said, standing in front of Ruby.

"Yang, it's better to step aside when he's pissed off," Nickel warned.

"Answer the damn question!" Rogue screamed.

"B-before he left for his t-training, I... confessed that I liked him a-and w-w-we promised that we would w-wait for each other when he returns... But Q-Qrow has shown me a picture that he b-broke that promise," she managed to say between sobs.

Nickel, Rogue, Glynda and even Ozpin gave him a death glare.

"Qrow. Show us the picture," Nickel said in a serious tone.

Qrow just shrugged and threw his Scroll on Ozpin's desk, showing an holographic projection of the image.

"You. Fucking. Idiot," Rogue said as he pulls out his Katana.

"What?" Qrow asked nonchalantly.

"She isn't any old girl, Qrow. That's one of (F/n)'s friends from Mountain Glenn," Nickel explained.

"And how would 'you two' know that?" Qrow asked sceptically.

"Because she helped us kill Adam Taurus!" Rogue snapped again.

Everyone went quiet after hearing that.

"A-Adam Taurus is death?" Glynda asked, still in shock.

"Rogue still got the head somewhere. Haven't you guys noticed that the crime rates has been lowered?" Nickel explained.

Almost everyone went pale when they heard that Rogue has the head of Adam Taurus.

"Did you even confronted (F/n) about this?" Rogue asked to Qrow while pointing at the picture.

Qrow just stayed silent.

"Un. Fucking. Believable," said Rogue, while walking towards the elevator.

"Where are you going?" Glynda asked in a stern voice.

"I'm going to look for (F/n). With or without your help," Rogue responded.

"Wait up, Rogue, I'll help," said Nickel, following Rogue.

"I'll prepare a search party in a moment. If you two find anything at all about him, contact us. Understood?" Ozpin said in a serious tone.

"Understood," Nickel responded.

As he reached the elevator, he turns around to face everyone in the room. He saw Yang and Blake with a shocked expression, while Ruby was still on the ground with a shocked and regretful expression on her, along with Weiss. When the door was about to close, Nickel noticed something's off about Qrow. Instead of wearing his jacket with the sleeves rolled up, it was covering his arms entirely.

'What are you hiding, Qrow?' Nickel though as the elevator went down.

-Mountain Glenn, a week after the Ritual-

A portal was opened in a broken skyscraper as a bright light spreads around the room. A seconds later, a figure walked out of it, with a long black and white trench coat with golden rims and a black and white mask in hand.

"Ah, it's good to be back," I said out loud as I closed the portal.

A thing really has changed for me after the ritual. I felt more powerful than before, I won't need any help anymore on resurrecting my body, and my family explained my roles in the future as a Judge. Essentially, have to judge a person's action before I can send them to Heaven, or Hell.

I walk towards the edge of the building, and look around.

"Nothing has changed at all. How nice," I said out loud as I jumped out, falling about ten stores high.

Just before I hit the ground, I spread my wings, stopping me midair and slowly glided down to the ground. I look around the ruined city again and started to walk around as I put my mask back on.

I knew the risk that consisted in being at the mortal world, like being hunted down by dark forces, but I was more worried about meeting Team RWBY again. I didn't care if I would meet Team Sylph again, instead, it would be nice, but I need to stay low for a while.

I decided to distract myself while I make my way towards Vale, and the only thing I can do now is sing.

Snow capped skies

Standing by while cities

Perish in the reaches of the deep

Bloodlines fall

Lost it all, the pain of

Severing the bond we had as three

Here in a sanctum long abandoned

Unto the tinder falls a spark

I have a holy call to answer

To be an angel of the dark

So I will pray for death to take you

With my own cold and weary hands

And you'll arise reborn of ashes

Before the fire fades again

Close your eyes

Fire must die, and I will

Reap your embered spirit to survive

Let us rest

Never test the darkness

Keeping our own winter dream alike

Here in a sanctum long abandoned

Unto the tinder falls a spark

I have a holy call to answer

To be an angel of the dark

So I will pray for death to take you

With my own cold and weary hands

And you'll arise reborn of ashes

Before the fire fades again

One chosen path

A silent, tranquil

End without the purging fire

Fade to black like our desire

You've come too far

Unkindled like

I was before I saw the answer

To our rotting hollow cancer

Now you have seen the father's anguish

Atop a painted glacier's peak

You've heard the tales of ash before you

From timeless legends that they speak

If you can listen now to reason

Then take the whispers to the heart

Forget this cold and black consumption

Forget this angel of the dark

Here in a sanctum long abandoned

Unto the tinder falls a spark

I have a holy call to answer

To be an angel of the dark

So I will pray for death to take you

With my own cold and weary hands

And you'll arise reborn of ashes

Before the fire fades again
