Rwby: The Silver Huntsman

Vol.4 Ep.11

An arcing slash of fire moves across the black screen, quickly followed by another. There is a brief beat before two more fiery arcs slash across the screen. An irregular circle of flame bursts outward from the center, revealing behind the black a panting Bes.

She is in a large, empty room. Behind her is a darkened arched hallway. On either side of the arch, the walls of the room have a low ledge the bear several burning white candles. Four Beowolves approach Bes, moving in a semicircle formation. Bes swings her left arm at them, sending another slash of fire. It cuts through the middle of all four Grimm and they disintegrate away.

Bes pants again, still upright yet taking a breather. She does not get long, as heavy footsteps approach from her left. She gasps and looks in their direction. A Beringel leaps into the air, ready to deliver a blow to her with its fist. Bes, however, pulls back her right arm and pushes a ball of flame right at it. It, too, disintegrates.

As its body disappears, Bes falls to her knees, breathing heavily.

Salem: Enough.

Salem walks forward while Bes continues to struggle for normal breathing.

Salem: I thought you were the girl who wanted power. Did you lie to me?

Bes winces on the force of Salem's question before looking upward. Turning to face Salem, Bes clearly shakes her head negatively.

Salem: Then stop holding back. If you wish to master your powers, you must -

Salem is cut off by the sound of heavy doors opening. On the opposite end of the stone hall, a Beowolf enters. It hands over a box.

Salem: Mail?

She looks into the box and drops it.

Salem: Oh by the Gods.

Bes: Is that what I think that is?

Salem: Tyrian's head.

Bes: That's where he went.

Salem leaves. The Beowolf approaches the head and eats it before leaving.

-----Meanwhile-----

Outside of her home on Patch, Yang Xiao Long spray paints her robotic arm and half of Ember Celica bright yellow. She goes into a tool shed and takes the tarp that had been covering her motorcycle, Bumblebee, off.

Taiyang Xiao Long: I don't remember saying that you were ready.

He is leaning against the frame of the open shed door, arms crossed.

Yang: (without turning around) Oh yeah? You're gonna try and stop me?

Taiyang: (chuckling) No. I think I'm still too sore after our last fight. I just wanted a better goodbye than a letter, unlike those four. And, I also have a question for you.

Yang turns around.

Taiyang: Where are you going?

Yang: What do you mean?

Taiyang: (moving into the shed) Well, despite asking him numerous times not to, I know that Qrow told you where your mother's been at these days. I know how much you wanna see her. I've stopped you in the past, but I won't anymore. And we both read the note. We know your sister's headed to Mistral. So, where are you going?

Yang looks down at the tarp as Taiyang makes his point. She remains gazing down for another couple of beats before looking up at her father. Her eyes narrow in determination, her decision made.

Taiyang: Take a sit I got a quite story for you.

-----Meanwhile-----

Weiss Schnee steps out of her bedroom, carrying a white suitcase and Myrtenaster. She looks around cautiously, her footsteps loudly resounding in the ornate hallway. She jumps and gasps when Klein Sieben appears right behind her. He puts his finger to his lips and shushes her before smiling.
