Nobody's POV
A group of 5 people sit around a black and purple glowing table in a dark world of Grimm. There was a woman with short black hair in a red dress: Cinder Fall. A man in a suit with brown hair and a mustache: Arthur Watts. A large brown haired man in a green coat: Hazel Rinart. A man perched on his chair fiddling with his hands in anticipation: Tyrian Callows. And a woman with long dark red hair that covers one of her brown eyes, wearing a long brown coat with black clothing underneath: Autumn Phoenix.

Cinder snapped her fingers and signaled her associates Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai to her side. "Yes, yes please keep your... posse. in check" Arthur said to Cinder

Arthur glanced at the resting form of Hazel "Do you hear that... Silence. I have half the mind to thank the little girl that bested you" Arthur said looking at Cinder

"If I were you I'd hunt her down, find her and well... she took your eye, didn't she?" Tyrian said cackling

Cinder tried to speak but was unable. She called Emerald over and whispered into her ear "Pathetic. Honestly why do you even bot-" Arthur was interrupted by the door opening revealing the women they were all waiting for

They all stood up and watched the woman with porcelain white skin with black cracks in it in a black dress walk by everyone. She walked to a set of candles at the other end of the room. "Watts? Do you find such malignance necessary?" She said calmly

She walked to her chair at the end of the table and waved her hand for everyone to sit down. "I apologize ma'am. I'm not particularly fond of failure" Watts explained sitting down

"Then I see no reason for your cruelty towards young Cinder. She's become our Fall Maiden. Destroyed Beacon tower. and most importantly killed dear old Ozpin. So I'm curious. To what 'failures' are you referring?" Salem said

"Well the silver eyed girl" Watts explained

"Yes we've dealt with her kind before. How is it that a novice was able to best one of us?" Hazel asked

"My thoughts exactly. Even without her new power it should have been effortless" Arthur said

Autumn clasped her hands together and rested her elbows on the table and looked at Arthur "I've explained many a time that the Maidens power comes with a costly weakness to Silver eyed warriors" She explained

Salem looked at Autumn "Thank you Autumn. Make no mistake, Cinder. you hold the key to our victory. But your new ability comes with the crippling weakness Autumn mentioned prior. Which is why you will stay by my side as we continue your treatment"

Cinder clenched her fist in anger. "Doctor Watts. You are to take Cinders place and meet with our informant in Mystral" Salem said

"Very good" He said

"Tyrian. I want you to continue your hunt for the Spring Maiden" Salem said

"Autumn how is the Summer Maiden?" Salem asked

"She should be growing nicely though her whereabouts are still unknown" Autumn explained frustrated "Though we still have our other candidates if the prime one never shows" She said to reassure Salem

Salem nodded "And Hazel. I'm sending you to the leader of the White Fang. Adam Taurus has arranged the meeting. The boy continues to prove loyal. Ensure that Sienna Khan feels the same"

"As you wish" Hazel said

Cinder raised her finger to get the attention of Emerald who leaned in so Cinder could whisper her message. Emerald returned to her standing position "Speak child" Salem said smiling
