Salem POV

"Welcome back. I trust you killed the spring maiden for me." I said, "Sorry I couldn't exactly bring her head back for you, but you can trust that she won't be realizing her purpose any time soon, or ever." (y/n) said, "Very good." I said, "Lady Salem, I've been hearing rumors about an island nation that's been gaining a notable foothold with their rather impressive military force." he said, "What are you getting at?" I asked, "I would like to say I could beat them on my own, but I can't. I'd give them one hell of a fight, but in the end, I'd be killed." he said, "I'd like your permission to form a team." he said, "You recognize that despite all your power that you are still only human. There are things in this world that you cannot overcome on your own. I just wish you'd see that the same goes for our relationship. You may form a team." I said, "Thank you, Lady Salem." he said before he left.

It's been almost a week since (y/n) left and for some reason, I've begun to miss him.

(y/n) POV

"It's been five days since we started this little test. Only you two survived." I said, "THIS WAS ALL A TEST! YOU PSYCHOPATH!" a girl shouted.

"Elsa Snow, correct?" I said, "Yeah that's me." she said coldly, "I only want the best of the best for my team, and compared to what my teacher put me through five days of nonstop combat is merciful." I said, "I see, so that's what this is. Tell me, what is your master's endgame?" a woman asked.

"To put it simply. She wants unity." I said, "Well then I'd be glad to join your team. My name's Leona Lance." she said, "Are you in Elsa?" I asked, "Unity hugh? That doesn't sound so bad." Elsa said, "Good. Now we have to go to an island nation called Aria, their military poses a threat not only to my mistress but to its own people." I said, "How so?" Leona asked, "They've been systematically murdering Faunus and those who advocate for the Faunus." I said as we left and in our wake, we left behind a mound of corpses.

After two days we finally made it to Aria, "It's absolutely gorgeous here!" Elsa said as she ran out onto the beach.

"Leona." I said as she began to draw her greatsword, suddenly a giant crystal flew at us from atop a nearby cliffside, I blocked it with my shield, but after shattering the crystal I noticed it had cracked the frame of my shield. "I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, BUT YOU NEED TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW!" a woman shouted before she jumped down to meet us.

"We're not leaving." I said, "Then you'll die." she said softly, "You're a Faunus, how are you still alive?" I asked, "Not that it's any of your business, but I'll do whatever I have to, to survive. Even if that means I have to..." she began to say before I stopped her, "Did they force you to do that?" I asked, "Yeah." she said, "What's your name?" I asked, "Blair, Blair Sinclare." she said, "Well Blair, give us a couple of hours, and those bastards will get what they deserve." I said, "Good, they took my family and someone very close to me." she said.

After three hours we had successfully taken Aria. "DIE!" a man said weakly as he aimed a gun at me, suddenly a sword made of crystal impaled his head, "You missed one." Blair said, "I can see that. I also saw what you did to those tanks earlier. You're strong, almost as strong as I am. Come with us, you'll be better off for it." I said, "Tempting, but I don't serve anyone. Not anymore." she said, "However, I'd be more than happy to work with you as your partner. I serve no one, but we both benefit from this." she said, "Interesting perposal. And if I refuse?" I said, "Well then it's your loss." she said, "What's your game?" I asked, "Are you really that dense?" she said with a slight laugh, "Humor me." I said, "I've lost track of how many people I've been with, but only one other person has had me as you do." she said before she kissed me, "So are you gonna accept my offer or not?" she asked, "I'll accept, but you are not leaving my side. I've got a lot to teach you." I said.

After we left Aria, Elsa and Leona went home. I told them to always be ready for the next time I'd need their assistance. Blair and I went back to Lady Salem's castle.

Salem POV

"We're back." (y/n) said, "Welcome back...(y/n)." I said as (y/n) entered my throne room with another woman at his side and on his arm, "Who is this?" I asked, "Blair Sinclare, I'll be training her." he said, "Training and much more." Blair said before she kissed his cheek, "This is neither the time nor the place for that." I said, "I don't care. I don't serve you. I'm only here for him." Blair said before she and (y/n) left. For some reason seeing (y/n) with her made me feel angry. I didn't understand what he saw in her or why she made me so jealous.
