(Night of the last chapter of Volume 4, Night's POV)

Me, Dragon and Resare stopped at the cliff for the night. We could see the surrounding regions, and in the distance, we could see the lights of the city of Mistral. Meat was cooked on a plate over the campfire. While Resare and Dragon took care of the meat, I was lying in the sidecar with my feet out. I looked at the town of Mistral in the distance.

"Say, Dragon, when we get back on the road, how long will we get to Mistral?" I asked him.

"If we follow the path, I would say ... two hours." he answered me. I sighed.

"Two more hours ..." I whispered.

"I find it hard to believe that after all this time we're finally almost there." Dragon tells us.

"We will have come a long way, but it's for a good cause." Resare tells us

"When I think that basically, we came to find out where Cinder and her gang were, and now we find ourselves having to protect Haven's academy, it's really that fate wants us to save the world." Dragon tells us. I giggled.

"" Save the world "? Looks like the script of a cliche action movie!" I pointed out to him.

"It's true. But can you imagine if after Haven we end up having to board for Atlas, or Vacuo?" Dragon told me.

"Sure, it would be different" I replied.

"Frankly, I wouldn't mind! Grimm's massacre is the best part!" Resare tells us.

"Except it's not just a question of Grimms. We also talk about Salem, Cinder, the Maidens and the relics." Dragon pointed out to her. "If we're doing this, it's not for fun." He said to her.

"Who told you I was just thinking of the Grimms?" She asks him. "We each have our scores to settle, you and I with Torchwick and Neo, and Night with Cinder." She told him before sighing.

"But you're right. Lives are in danger, and it would be unworthy of a Huntress not to help them." Admitted Resare

"So, what do we do once in Mistral?" Dragon asks me.

"We're going straight to Haven Academy to see the headmaster. According to Raven, Qrow is on his way, and hopefully we'll run into him. And then we stay put until we hear from Emerald." I replied. I got out of the sidecar and moved closer to the campfire.

"We'll have to put everything in place, even if we have to get Qrow in there. Once Cinder finds the Maiden, Emerald will give me all the information, including the day of the attack. Once this information is in our hands, we will have to tell Qrow everything. " I explained to my teammates.

"But, how long might that take?" Resare asks me. Dragon sighs and rubs his chin before speaking:

"We don't know. 3 days? 3 weeks? 3 months? Remember that Salem is looking for the Maiden out of thin air, but if she runs into people who know her, then he will find her quickly. Here there, who knows how long it may take? " He replied. I sat down on a log of wood around the campfire.

"The only time we'll know all this is when Cinder finds the Maiden. But until then, we have to keep a low profile, then we'll make a plan based on the info Emerald gives us." I told my teammates. "That's all we can do, for now." I added.

"What about Qrow? When do we keep him posted?" Resare asks me. I sighed.

"I don't know." I answered them.

"I expected you to have an answer." Dragon answers me.

"You know, we can't have an answer to everything." I answered him.

"Sure. And fortunately." Resare told me. Dragon looked at the meat and went to get some plates to serve us the meal. He handed me a plate and I began to eat.

"Let's enjoy while it's hot." Dragon tells us. We concluded this evening quietly. Tomorrow, we will finally arrive at Mistral.
