We open to Cinders face fully healed and walking through a street of Mistral wearing a cloak with her teammates.

Mercy: so how long till we get to the place

Emerald who was looking over a map.

Emerald: it should be about a few more blocks or so.

Mercy: gods.

Cinder looks at her fixed hand feeling a tingle in it making her hand shake, she sighs looking up the street. But just behind her a hat floats by. followed by a cloaked figure with a slight orange in their hair 

(Meanwhile)

You: We need to take the Relic to Atlas?

Team RWBY, JNPR, you and Quill Branwen are seen back at the house in Mistral.

Quill: That's what Oz said.

Everybody looks to Weiss Schnee.

Weiss: You've got to be joking...

Nora: I mean, bright side, we finally get out of this house!

Weiss sighs.

Quill: Well trust me, I'm not crazy about it either. And without the Spring Maiden here to seal the Relic back in its Vault, it's our best option.

Rin: Atlas may be the safest kingdom we have at the moment, but their borders are closed. General Ironwood called everyone back.

Qrow: Eh, not everyone. (activates his Scroll, showing a hologram of a highlighted portion of land) The city of Argus is a ways north of us and it's the primary trading port between Anima and Solitas. They've got the largest Atlas military base outside the kingdom. There's no way they'd leave it abandoned, and if we play our cards right, I think there's a good chance we could convince them to escort us straight to Ironwood.

Blake: I mean, we do have the missing Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company.

Weiss: Ex-Heiress, actually.

Yang: True, true. But if there's a chance of reward money, I say we go for it.

Weiss: Ugh...

Ozpina: Hopefully the first option will suffice.

Octavia Pine, letting Ozpina take over, walks into the room.

Quill: Glad to see you're feeling better.

Ozpina: Likewise, and while I'm sure we could all use more time to recover, I'm afraid time is of the essence.

Blake: Right, as long as that thing's out in the open, its power could fall into the wrong hands.

June: Speaking of, what does it do exactly? Quill never really told us.

Everyone looks to Ozpina, who turns around to face them.

Ozpina: Of course. (detaches the Relic from her hip) The Relic of Knowledge has a wonderful, and incredibly dangerous ability. (the Relic grows into it's original size as it was found) Its user can ask any question, and the Lamp will provide an answer.

Ozpina places the Relic down, and it floats on the table.

Rin: (in awe) Intriguing...

Blake: That's incredible...

You: mystical.

Ozpina: Indeed. However, it's not without drawbacks. The Lamp cannot tell of events that have yet to happen, and it will only ever answer three questions every one hundred years.

Yang: Well, I guess that's not so bad. Adds a lot of pressure though.

Nora: Then let's put it to a vote! (zips around the room, causing Ruby to jump and Quill to spit out her coffee) What should we ask first? Oh! Can we ask for more questions? CAN WE ASK FOR MORE QUESTIONS?!
