In case you guys forgot or didn't know,
Tamish means God of Darkness.
Roshan means God of Light.

Ruby stares at the moon through a window, sitting on the staircase. Snow is drizzling outside. Ruby checks on Blake, Weiss, and Yang, who are sitting on the rug and staring at the fire from the fireplace. Maria reads a book while sitting on the sofa, and Oscar is pacing back and forth. After checking on the others, Ruby stands up and walks toward Qrow. Qrow is sitting nearby the window, looking outside with his feet propped on the drawer, "Storm's cleared up for now. We should be able to leave by morning."
"That's good."

"No... I don't have a good feeling about this place, especially with me around..."

Ruby looks down at a wine bottle on the floor with Qrow's hand hovering near it, then looks at him, "Are you... okay?"

"Sure. Tell everyone to get some sleep. I'll wake you guys up just before sunrise."

Ruby walks away as Qrow drinks from the wine bottle. Ruby pauses and looks back at him before narrowing her eyes downward.

Back in the other room, the fire continues to burn. The book Maria is reading has a "III" on the cover, with the other two volumes on a nearby table, "It's a diary?"

"The head of this household, Bartleby. Apparently, he and several other families founded this little settlement to try and live on their own. It sounds like it worked, at least for a spell."
"Grimm?"
"Just one of many hardships. Slowed down their farming, made everything harder... It's a shame. He seemed like quite the ambitious fellow, always thinking of new schemes to overcome the odds."

Ruby walks back into the room, "Hey guys. Qrow said we should get some sleep. We're gonna head out early tomorrow."
"Thank goodness."

Everyone gets up to get ready to sleep. Maria hops off the couch, "Hmph, the last thing you'll catch me doing is letting some kid tell me what to do." In a mimicking voice, "Go to bed!" Maria sits in an armchair, turns on the lamp next to it, and continues reading from the book. Ruby shrugs and smiles before going to sleep herself. You stayed up to watch as everyone sleep, a lot had happened today, and you weren't sure how to feel about the situation, '(Y/n)?' Your eyes opened, hearing your name being called.

"Tamish?" You whispered as you stood up, making your way the front door, Qrow was asleep. You placed your hand on his cheek, Qrow nudges closer to your touch, this caused you to smile. You knew that Qrow still loved you, but him learning the truth was too much for him. You plant a kiss on his forehead, "Forgive me, Qrow."

You looked out the window, seeing a few Sphinxes wandering around the area. You couldn't open the door since it would alert Qrow, so you went upstairs and entered one of the rooms with a fairly large window.

You place your hand on the glass frame, your presence alerted the Sphinxes, as they began to make their way to the house you raised your hand signaling them to stop, which they followed your order. You open up the window, then proceeded to jump out. Ajin manifested on the ground to catch you.
"Thank you, Ajin."

You began walking away from the house, "Ajin, do you think I should go to Atlas alone?" Ajin doesn't say anything, which caused you to smile.

"You are using Ajin as a vessel again?"
Ajin grew in size as a purple aura surrounded him; the God of Darkness showed himself.
"Hello, Saint."
"Hello, Tamish."
You laid in the cold snow, "I thought that Roshan didn't like you to come to see me?"
"I made an arrangement."

You stayed quiet with the smile still resting on your face, "I'm sorry for what had happened."
"You shouldn't apologize."

"I should have kept you at my side."
"You wouldn't have known this was going to happen."
"Why not come back?" This caught you off guard, sitting up, you questioned, "Back?"
"Brother and I both agreed; after all, you were always the one to balance the world." A sphinx lays next to you
