Blue Fang soldiers shoot at targest with their guns in the courtyard. A number of others look on. Cinder watches from some stairs.
A guard turned to Cinder "Your grace, think highly of this boy, why?" he asked
"He is the Lord Commander of the Blue Fang" Cinder told him
"he's also the Son some Whore" The guard replied
"that is true. He was Born a Bastard, He Became a Knight... But he'll Die a King" Cinder said and continued to watch Jaune train the men
"I also think it's time I was given an Heir..." Cinder said to herself
Later that day, Jaune was working on some paper work to recruit more people from Menagerie. Then there was a knock on the door.
"Come in" Jaine said not looking up
"Hello Lord Commander" Cinder said as she walked in
Jaune realized who it was and stood up, "your grace, How can I help you?" Jaune asked
Cinder was wearing a robe that went to her legs.
"I want you Come with us when we ride south" Cinder told him as she walks forward to him "None of us know the castle as well as you do. Its hidden tunnels, its weaknesses, its people. Ark Town was your home once. Don't you want to chase the rats out of it?"
Jaune didn't have an answer for Cinder. Ark town was his home. The Branwen tribe was his home and Family. Beacon and his friends were his family.
"There's only one war. Life against death. And we need all Kingdoms, but I will not force you. But I want to show you something" Cinder said
"You're gonna show me some vision in the fire? Forgive me, my Lady. But I don't trust in visions" Jaune told her.
Cinder smirked and she sat on Jaunes desk sitting right in front of him. Jaune didnt kniw what she was doing
"No visions. No magic. Just life" Cinder told him
She opens up her robes, naked underneath. She leans back, and takes Jaune's hand into her own, slowly leading it up her body to cup her breast. Jaune didn't react. He didn't know what to do.
"Do you feel my heart beating? This power in you, you resist it, and that's your mistake. Embrace it Jaune" she told him
Cinder smiles and looks down at Jaune's hand, Jaune looks too and Realizing that she is no longer holding it there, he slowly pulls it away but Cinder grabs Jaunes hand and slowly moves to back and with her other hand, she caresses Jaune's face and then sits on his lap.
"Male and female. Two parts of a greater whole. We are joining this power. Power to make life" Cinder told jaune and kissed him on the lips Jaune did nothing bit then pulled back a little
"I can't... I just--" Jaune began but Cinder kissed him again.
She stopped then looked at him in his eyes.
"Forget eveything. Give in to your animal insticts" she told him and kissed him
Jaune did as she said. She was a Queen after all. There was concequences about disobaying royalty.
Blake heard all of it.
Jaune had walked in to the room where Kali was staying. There he found Ren, Flynt, Ilia, And Nora sitting with Kali.
"My Queen" Jaune spoke and Kali turned to him
Kali smiled "Lord Commander" she replied with a smile
"Guys, I'd like to speak to the Queen alone" he said. They got up and left.
Jaune grabbed a chair and Sat across from Kali
"How are you feeling?" he asked her
"Oh, like a 30 year old woman slowly freezing to death" Kali chuckled
Jaune smiled and then looked to the ground and sighed "I need your advice. There's something I want to do, something I have to do. But it'll divide the Blue Fang. Half the men will hate me the moment I give the order"
"Half the men hate you already, Lord Commander" Kali told him "do it"
"But you don't know what it is?"
"That doesn't matter. You do" Kali told him. "Kill the Boy Jaune Arc. Kill the boy, and let the man be Born" Kali told him
Jaune nodded and walked out of Kali's room
Jaune was sitting in his desk and Mercury sat across from Jaune
"What am I doing here?" Merxury asked
Jaune looked at him "Where are the rest of the White Fang now?" Jaune asked
Mercury scoffed
"Where have they gone?"
No response
"Who leads them?"
Mercury then sat up and looked at Jaune
They followed Adam. They won't follow anyone else" Mercury told him
"What about you?"
"Hard to lead when you're in chains"
"What if I unchained you?"
Thus caused mercury confusion "Why would you do that?" He asked
"Because you are not my enemy. And I'm not yours" Jaune told him
"You sure seemed like my enemy when you were killing my men" Mercury scoffed
"Things change Merc" Jaune told him
"And now everything is going to change?" Mercury asked
Jaune nodded "It is"
"Why now?" Mercury asked
"Because now.." Jaune began and he leaned forward to Mercury "...I am Lord Commander of the Blue Fang"
Mercury leaned to Jaune as well "What would you have me do, Lord Commander?" Mercury asked with a smile
Jaune stood up and looked to Mercury. "I'd have you go East of the Wall. Gather the remaining White Famg wherever they are and bring them back here. I'll open the gates for them and let them through. I'll find them lands to settle south of the Wall" Jaune told Mercury
"They wont kneel to you"
"I don't want them to kneel for me. I want them to fight with me when the time comes"
"The day I ask my people to fight with the Blue Backs, is the day my people cut my guts from my belly and make me eat them"
"What? Are you sacred?" Jaune asked him
Mercury stood up and faced Jaune "Thats an easy thing to say to a man in cuffs"
Jaune then grabbed Mercurys hands and uncuffed Mercury. Mercurys eyes widen as he feels his hands.
"Your people need a leader. And they need to get west of the Wall before it's too late. We don't have much time and they have less. The Hybrids are coming and they'll hit your people first. I'm not asking you to make peace to save your skin. Make peace to save your people" Jaune told him
Were gonna need airships, right now they be on the edge of Menagerie, on an Island call HardHome" Mercury told him
I'll talk to Cinder about lending us some Airships" Jaune told Mercury
"You're coming with me?" Mercury asked
Jaune nodded
"I'm the Lord Commander of the Blue Fang. They need to hear it from me" Jaune told him
Mercury nodded in understamdment and Jaune told him to get his weapons from Ilia.
Soldiers of the Blue Fang talk amongst themselves. Cinder and Kali are present. Jaune stands at the table in the front of the room with Fennec and Blake behind him. Blake looked to Jaune in shock
"You're bringing White Fang here!? through the gates!?" Blake cried
"Men, women, and children will die by the thousands if we do nothing!" Jaune cried back
"So what!? They attacked us! Let the Hybrids deal with them!" Blake cried
Some of the men in the crowd cheer. Jaune however looks dissapointed at Blake. This wasnt like her.
"We've been fighting them all for thousands of years. They've slaughtered villages. They've slaughtered our brothers!" Fennec yelled
Jaune stood up and looked to the both of them "And we've slaughtered them as well!" Jaune cried
Ilia stood up and looked to Jaune "I will follow you anywhere, you know that" She told him
Jaune nodded and then Flynt and Neon stood up
"We'll help you as well" Neon told Jaune.
Corrsac stood up and looked to Jaine "They killed 50 of our brothers. I can't forget that. I can't forgive it" He said and some men agreed
"We can learn to live with the white Fang or we can add them to the army of the dead. Whatever they are now, they're better than that" Jaune told him
Corssac and a couple of men left the room and the meeting was dismissed
Jaune was in his office with Cinder, Flynt, Neon, and Ilia "I hope you know what you're doing with the White Fang. I need those Airships" She told him "I'll be heading back to mistral as soon as you return"
"You'll get them back, I swear it. Have a safe journey, Your Grace. And thank you" Jaune told her
Cinder nodds and leaves the room. Outside Blake glares ant Cinder as she leaves his room.
Blake hated Jaune. What he did with Emerald and Cinder. She has had sex with him multiple times. She thought thay would at least mean something to them, but she assumed it ment nothing to Jaune. And she was going to get even with him, he had betrayed her. An Eye for and Eye as they say...
