Corpses fill the town somewhere hung upside down, representing the hunter rune. The massacre of the townsfolk was killed by the healing church and the hunters of the workshop.

Gehrman standing over a cliff watching the Byrgenwerth Scholars examine the two corpses a Great Ones a mother and her child. Gehrman felt someone touch his right shoulder he turned his head slightly to see Maria.. her mouth was moving as if she were speaking, but no sound was heard. Gehrman felt his mouth moved but again, no sound he saw that Maria had a sad look in her eyes as if hurt by his words, turning his head back to the shoreline. 

He looked back again just to see Maria walking away, fading into the darkness, never to be seen again.

Summer: " Doctor, is he gonna be okay? "

Doctor: " He'll be fine, although I can't say about his thigh. A decent amount of it is gone, but he'll make a full recovery. Just give it time. "

Ozpin faced the huge window.

Ozpin: " Please, you four are the only ones I can trust. "

Ozpin seemed panic but kept his cool he looked back at the four.

Summer: " Don't worry, Ozpin, we'll go. "
