Chapter 84: Prelude to Time Skip…
~Albus POV~
Looking at Ghira's home I began to set myself up for the night as I look up at the starry night sky as I sigh out loud while Emerald and Neo both got their own rooms.
For now, I missed this silence.
Stargazing the sky…
I missed this at times when I was at the run.
Now though…
Despite being versatile I'm still not strong so what I need to do next is get myself familiar with my own powers.
Now I have all the time in the world I will change the world for the better or the worse.
I know what I do next will be something the likes of Remnant will never see.
Looked down at my hand as I felt a tingle of shaking in pure excitement.
Everything will have a beginning and an end.
It's just how everything will be written down to the passage of time as I bring the impossible possible.
"Albus is this what you want to meet with us?"
Turning my head around I see Kali, Ghira, and Sienna turn towards me as I wanted to explain things to them as I'm glad they came.
Giving them my full attention, I began to talk to all three of them at the very beginning of how they see the world to its end only to start anew, "Before we go into details you three. I want to first thank Ghira for offering me the chance to grow. For that, you have my thanks. And now to the good stuff…"
Coughing a bit I then revealed my spirits as the three looked a bit weird I took a seat as I talked to them as if they want an explanation, "Before I begin explaining these Spirits… how about I start explaining how the world of Remnant… second coming came to be today. So tell me… Kali, Ghira, and Sienna… what are your favorite fairy tales?"

~Weiss POV~
"Sigh…"
Looking around my room I began to wonder when I will appease my father.
Everything and being told what to do.
I don't like it but…
It's all in the name as I have to uphold what my great grandfather has done before.
I will become the heir to my family Schnee Dust Company as I was studying all I can as I was the only one left to do it.
"Klein!"
Yelling for Klein's name I got no response as he usually comes after me when I call for him…
Unless daddy is already calling him or Whitely.
*Crack*
"Eep!"
Hearing cracking sounds in the distance I was shocked to hear it as someone or some kind of glass in the distance that shouldn't be possible.
*Bang*
*Bang*
Gunfire was being heard throughout the Mansion as I hear our guards shooting at something but…
The gunfire soon stopped altogether as I began to get my rapier at the ready as I felt some fear pumping into my heart.
Holding my blade at the ready getting into fighting position I firmly followed my combat instructor's instructions as –
*Swoosh*
*Splat*
"Ahh!"
Suddenly I felt a sharp pain across my eye as I only have half my vision cleared as I still have one eye open an I yell out in fear, "WHO ARE YOU!!! WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING ME!!"
*Shii*
Slowly revealing to me – Winter?!!
My eyes widen as I see Winter in bloody uniform with her weapon all bloody as she spoke to me coldly, "Don't worry dear sister… you will soon join the rest of our family…"
"What…?"
I felt myself hyperventilating as I didn't want to listen to what she had to say but –
What…?
Soon enough I see my mom, dad, and brother's heads fall off I was petrified in fear…
Why...
Am I next…?
No…
Next, I see Winter's eyes blared up something that made me feel the chill of the cold I felt like I was freezing up as I was barely holding up keeping my aura warm as I felt my skin being pelted in the harshness of the cold as I grip myself together to keep the warmth.
This is so cold…
Please stop Winter…
Stop…
Big sis...
"It hurts stop..."
"Please..."
Next, I hear her as she makes a twisted smile as she readies her blade speaking to me as I felt myself my lower body wetting up, "Oh look sister? You pissed yourself like the animal you are… but don't worry. Thanks to your 'friends' taking my only true friend in this God-forsaken world... I will make you feel PAIN!!!"
…
Holding myself and closing my eyes I prepared for the worst…
I'll be joining you soon everyone.
And Winter I hope you BURN when we meet...
….
…
..?
Only for nothing to happen as I see the blade almost near my face unable to move as I felt the warmth coming up again as I know the blade was blocked by a cane as what I saw spoke, "Tch. To think the Faunus' hate for Schnee company brought me here only to see a tragedy. Sigh… I swear you kids these days."
What the heck is that!!
Whatever it is looked to be a humanoid shape but his physical appearance was distinctly weird He carried himself like an elderly man.
He was relatively short compared to Klein, had a hunchback posture, and carried a cane with him but his head was shaped like a mountain.
He has pale gray skin but the top of his head faded into a brown color where the volcanic opening was. He had a single cycloptic eye, two openings on the sides of his head that served as ears, and black teeth.
This thing wore an all-black outfit that consisted of a loose shirt with quarter-length sleeves with matching pants and shoes. He wore his green spotted cape over that along with a white scarf.
What the heck is this thing?!!
Seeing the werid thing he began to introduce himself with a smile as he spoke to me calmly, "Ah... no worries dear. I'm Jogo an Ancient Cursed Spirit now then..."
*BRR*
I felt an intense emotion from him as brilliant blue and black flames erupt from him making me feel fear but went behind this Jogo as he spoke with venom in his breath, "Turn off the disguise fake. You can't fool an Ancient Cursed Spirit like I. Turn it off so I can melt you alive..."
Glaring hatefully I then see Winter… who's she?
/////
~Mahito POV~
"Hmm…"
…
This has been by far the most difficult thing I have seen.
I see the wizard and his group talk to his boys about something off about miss Raven.
Sigh…
I see she managed to encounter Hanami judging from his Cursed Energy signature but then I sense her unlock hers but has no clue what to do with it.
In fact, it's actually backfiring since she's seeing all the past victims taught making death threats to her about her past actions.
Usually, I make work observing the Ozpin crew as I sense the blond one's emotions being extremely mixed.
Like what the hell?
She's feeling joy, hate, despair, worry, frustration, and confusion?
Geez, she has some family issues but…
Grinning widely at this golden opportunity my lord will definitely need help in the future and I have here a golden plate for my majesty!
A broken Maiden with magic inflicted with curses that now has gained Cursed Energy will probably want anything to get away from the ghost.
And my Lord will surely want her skills as a fighter as well as another magic user.
…
…That and she can open the Vault so that's a win for the Cursed King.
And what's the best part is I can force her to a Binding Vowing or Heavenly Vow to her that will force her and any of her family to follow.
I merely need to wait till she's in a very desperate state….
To make this even better the old wizard can't seem to sense this as he suggested sending her to Vale's insane asylum making Qrow and Tai shudder at this while I see Raven's eyes widen hearing it.
Oh no we don't here~
Placed my hand forcing it shut her eyes widen as I smile at her making a quiet gesture holding my finger to my lips shushing her as she struggles even more in fear not even getting her friend's attention.
No worries Raven…
You will serve the lord and those stronger than the weak right?
You have no rights anymore weakling.
Muahahaha!
I love being a cursed Spirit!
All for my Cursed King!!

~Sun POV~
"Come on Sun we have to catch up!"
"Ok, Starr!"
"Now why did we agree to bring the brat."
"Because if survives he survives if he doesn't well… meat shield anyone?"
"Ok Mister Meat Shield."
"Ha! He got you on that one lug."
"Grumble…"
It was already in the morning and I already got along well with the Huntsman group formed by Shade Acadamey students joining this Grimm Watch patrol on the outskirts of Vacuo City.
If there is any way to get Lien around here it's through the Grimm Watch if anyone wants good Lien and high risk.
Grimm Watch is practically a loose partnership between local authorities and low-rent Huntsmen to keep the monsters from breaching the city.
But it also provides paid services quite well if we survive at least.
Starr managed to get me to come since we need some Lien for the dojo or else off on the streets as they say.
Still getting a kiss from a cutie is always a win in my book and possibly on a first date in the future when I'm a Huntsman!
You know survival of the fittest like that mentality.
First comes first serves!
But living in Vacuo sure is difficult.
If you are strong enough to live in Vacuo you are strong enough to stay.
There were six if you include me and Starr as the other four were… more or less good meat shields to be around with.
They did their job and we do ours no bad blood between us just some banter as well as seeing my Grimm for the first time outside of the comforts of Vacuo City.
Hell, our job is to practically take out a group of herding Dromedon that have been causing trouble with the Gate guards.
They are practically annoying camel-like Grimm that can spit acidic venom. They are shown to have armored humps making it hard to kill off.
The closer we got nearer to the directions from what the paper said their last location was said to be located near the outskirts of Vacuo City as I stay behind Starr with the others going ahead to check out the area.
Whew…
"What…?"
Are my eyes deceiving me is that a mother fucking lake in the middle of the dessert!!
And from the distance I see…
A very strange fish thing?
Actually, more like an aquatic animal like an octopus. He's bright red with a circular-shaped head, big round eyes, and striped tentacles around his mouth opening.
Wait when did fishes have two muscular arms with four fingers and a caterpillar-like body? It also covered him with a white cloth draped over his head and back.
What the hell is even that thing?
Well…
Hey, free water right?
Better to get some before it's all taken away.

~Salem POV~
Hmm…
Glancing at my lands using my Grimm Watchers to see everything I wonder how everything will go next year.
Everything has been developing out of control ever since this boy Albus Burn came here.
His mere existence and actions made causes he isn't aware of…
"Hehehe…"
I wonder…
I have already reacted to his actions and existence but…
How will the world react when they figure out who's the one to open pandora's box?
Albus Burn…
I wonder how will you survive the waves you caused or rather…
How will Remnant adapt to the changes…
The mere thought only fills me with amusement and curiosity sake.
Now I get to see the chaos brought forth.
Time to see how the world changes…
