"It's good to see you again my dear Princess"

His voice sent shivers down your spine. "Who are you?" You asked as he walked closer to you, his tail moving to caress your cheek. "Ah yes, the Queen did mention you would have trouble remembering things... My name is Tyrian Callows and I am at your service." Tyrian bowed slightly as a smile appeared on his lips. With just his name, flashes went through your mind. Memories of the two of you either fighting or laughing together played in your mind as your hand went to touch your cheek. Your fingers traced over the small scar that was left after he had grazed you with his weapons. His smile grew brighter at the small notion, it was evident you recalled him a little more now.

"Wait... So you know? You know me? Can you tell me more? Anything that will help me?" Your eyes widened as you got closer to the black haired male. "Princess I am the key to what is missing. I can give you all the answers that you are looking for and more!" He exclaimed with a smirk. You began to rake your brain for possible questions you could ask. "Who is Salem?" You asked suddenly making him pause. "I cannot answer that question just yet my dear Princess, but meet me back here tonight and I promise to answer whatever questions you have." You nodded cautiously as you walked out of the alley, turning to give him on last glance only to find him gone. With a sigh you rushed back to Jaune.

You furrowed your eyebrows as you laid in bed, the gears in your head wouldn't stop turning as you kept on thinking about what to do. You could go and get the answers you wanted at the cost of the teams trust if you were to be found out, or you could stay knowing that the team held back information and that the key to your memories was out there. A groan was heard before Nora's face came hanging down from her top bunk. "So... You gonna keep contemplating or are you going to talk to me about it?" She asked as she booped your nose. "Sorry Nora... I met someone today... He told me that if I meet him tonight he could answer the questions I have... When he told me his name i remembered him, so I know I can somewhat trust what he says..." You finally made eye contact and you could tell she was surprised.

After some time another voice was heard. "If you truly believe he has what you are looking for then I say you go... But once you remember everything you have a choice to make, whatever team you'll play on is up to you." Ren looked over at your bunk and you nodded. Getting out of the bed you slipped on a pair of shoes along with a hoodie. "Thank you guys, I'll be back before briefing." They all nodded as you climbed out the window. Once you fell, you ran as fast as your legs would let you, wanting to get there before it was too late. Slowing down once you reached the block, you watched as some walked around, burning the late night oil. As you walked into the alley you placed your hood up, breathing in and standing your ground in case anything were to happen.

"I was starting to think you were never going to show up." A crazed voice was heard from above you, his golden eyes shined in the dark as he climbed down from the lamp post he was on. "You said you had answers..." You trailed off as he stood in front of you. "Precisely, but don't just stand there, have a seat. It's not our usual meeting place but it will have to do for now." He gave a small bow towards a crate before sitting on the floor. You raised an eyebrow at him before sliding down the brick wall across from him. "Who am I? What was I doing working under Salem? Why was I working with Salem?" You sighed as unanswered questions kept jumping out of your mind. You furrowed your eyebrows before looking at the concrete ground. When he let out a small chuckle, it was awfully comforting. Something distant yet so close in your memories.

"The answer to your first question is something only you can know and decide, as for the other two... The answer is one in the same. Her grace raised you, she took you in after a Grim dragged you to her castle. You were raised and trained to be the next winter maiden for the Queen." You gasped as your head started pounding again. Your vision started getting blurry as a feeling of pain shot through your neck and trailed down your spine. Tyrian got up and slowly made his way towards you, with something in his hand. You glared as he crouched next to you, you wanted to kick him and tell him to get away from you but every movement you made had a you agonizing. "I suggest you don't move..." He grinned as he moved your hair to the side, pulling on something that made you want shift uncomfortably. Once he pulled away it was as if nothing happened, no trace of pain as you were left hyperventilating.

"What is that thing?" Your eyes widened as you watched a worm like grim wither away in his hand. "The Queen had planted it in case something like this happened, it assured you wouldn't go on spilling her plans." You furrowed your eyebrows as you stared at him. "So what now? Do I just get them all back or what?" You asked as your chest puffed out in anger. "Patience my dear Princess, it'll be much easier for you now. No more headaches, and I'll still be at your service." You huffed before nodding. "I'm guessing she put you up to this then?" You closed your eyes as you leaned your head back. He simply nodded as he crouched down next to you. "So what now? You going to take me to Salem?" You raised and eyebrow at the faunus. "On the contrary, her grace wishes you to stay here. Since you have direct contact with team RWBY you are the perfect spy for us." His voice filled with excitement as he clapped his hands.

"What if I say no?" The both of you stared each other down before he chuckled. "Her grace isn't very fond of those who disobey orders Y/N." Your name sent shivers down your spine coming from his mouth. "I know, but I don't think I'll be working with Salem longer." His nostrils flared up as he huffed in anger. "You know what'll happen if you do..." He furrowed his eyebrows as the both of you stared into the others eyes. "I do, and I don't care. These kids are strong and I trust in them, we'll find a way to bring an end to Salem." You stood up and so did Tyrian. "If you insist on making things difficult, but I will come back to wisk you away." He almost growled as you walked past him. Your shoulders brushing past each other's before you sprinted back towards the dorms.
