Helix In! Time to finish this up!
She looked around the ruined building as she saw how destroyed and dilapidated the place is: The stone she felt under her was left to the elements, there was a hole on one of the roofs and when she looked at the hole, she saw that it was bombed, whether by Arcadian or Inazuman, she couldn't tell, but overall, it reminded her of what her father often described of the Siege of Mantle and something else...
And it felt all too familiar with her, especially the surrounds as the snow gushed through the ruins of the lost districts.
Kali closed her eyes as she slowly breathes in the air, 'This reminds me of my Blooding, yes this is exactly like back then' Kali says as the screen slowly moves and it cuts to a younger Kali who is wearing a mask and all black clothes with her blades, instead of being the iconic crimson, where regular steel colored.
The scene changed from the ruins to a City within Arcadia proper as she remembered the encoded telegram she received from her trainer.
And it contained her orders; "Greetings Initiate, to pass your final test and become one with the Blades, Assassinate a group of advocates, wishing to throw down the Arcadian Throne. Complete this task or never return." Those were her standing orders.
That got some wide eyes as Qrow shouted at Ghira, "SERIOUSLY! WHO THE HELL IS YOUR WIFE!?"
Blake was having the same question as she saw her mother in a whole new light.
Jaune Prime himself was surprised by that
All the while, Ghira simply smiled, especially when the drunkard is riled up about his wife as Morrowind simply observed it all.
The message went up in flames as Kali was making her way towards her pray as her eyes were almost glowing in the night.
She observed the city in all it's glory in the limelight as a Propeller plane flew away from the city's Airport, and when she found a sturdy line, she used a metal hook and ziplined her way to the target, intent on completing her Rite.
"Sorry to ask, but what is the Blooding that she said earlier? And what does it represent for the Blades?" Yang asked, curious of the rite.
Raven was curious as well, to which Yamamoto provided answers. "Blooding is a rite of passage for the Crimson Blades, a young non-blood is sent to a target for which to kill, their targets blood stains their blades making them crimson from said blood, thus giving them the name."
This made them understand, but not before Robyn had a question. "What if a Crimson were to try and clean their blade, intentionally or accidental?" She asked
This got the overseers to figure an answer out
"If it was accidental, then they would be suspended, for some time, intentionally however, then they are executed for dishonoring the culture of the Blades as well as defiling their Rite of Passage that got them there in the first place." Stella says.
Alastor had to laugh, "Oh my dears! That's strict even for them, no the blades are made of crimson metal to represent that they have been blooded and are now members of such an order."
Both the Wolf and Star looked at the Demon.
"So, Which one is true? Blood red metal or soaking it in blood?" Alice asks, with Alastor giving them his trademark smile.
"And of course, you being vague as fuck." Saphron deadpans.
"Sorry, but is being Vague a thing between you guys now?" She adds
"Just save it and enjoy the show." Crossroad intercepts
