Ruby climbs out of the pool of grimm, a little exhausted. She was trying to fight grimm on the way out. Her eyes have turned black and her skin is pale white. She looks up at Arthur and smiles at him. "This will be quite interesting."
Arthur smiles back. "How do you feel?"
"I feel great," Ruby answers.
"Do you want to see how you look now?" Arthur offered.
Ruby nods. Arthur grabs a small pocket mirror from his coat and gives it to her. She takes it and looks at her reflection. She gasps and touches her pale white face and looks into her black eyes like she's staring into the void. She was void of humanity.
"We need to get back to Salem," he said. Ruby nods and follows him.
They get back to Salem and she smiles at them. She gestures to a boy that was standing right next to her. The man had brown hair and brown eyes. "This is Atreus, my son."
Atreus smiles at them and bows. "A pleasure to meet you both."
They bow back as well. Arthur spoke first. "I didn't know you had any children."
"My last born from Ozma," Salem said. "My pride and joy."
"Ozma?" Ruby asked.
Salem chuckled. "You know him as Professor Ozpin."
Ruby smiles at Atreus. "A pleasure to meet you, Atreus."
He winks at her. "I've heard a lot about you, Ruby."
Ruby blushed and wasn't sure what to say. Atreus turns his attention back to Salem. "They're looking for her right now. One of your hounds got back to me after patrolling."
"Good," Salem said. "Keep watching them and make sure they never find her." He nods and goes.
