3rd Person POV

Spectre and Cinder could be seen training alongside each other. Spectre was currently meditating, trying to master the forms he used against (Y/N). He knew the last one would take him longer to master, so he focused on the other one. Meanwhile, Cinder got more used to her new Grimm arm and was now training to fight both Ruby, and Pyrrha. And the only way to prepare for that, was to be trained by Salem. 

Suddenly, Cinder was sent into a wall as she fell to the ground. She got up albeit slowly as she looked at Salem who looked at her with a bored look. 

Salem: Please Cinder, are you even trying?

Cinder grit her teeth in frustration and flew at Salem while making two swords in her hands. She then began to swing them repeatedly at Salem who either dodged them really easily, or just blocked them with her hand. Cinder flew away and threw a fireball at Salem who shot at it with her own magic creating a dust cloud. Salem sighed before moving away from Cinder who tried to attack her from behind. Cinder turned around to look at Salem only for her to be grabbed by the face and slammed to the ground. 

Salem: Enough! I thought you were the girl that wanted power! Well then where is it!?!? You almost have the power of two whole maidens, yet I haven't seen all the power I know you can use. Did you lie to me!? Do you not wish to be the strongest!?!?

Cinder who tried to get Salem off her shook her head no, scared for her life. 

Salem: Then show me!!! Stop holding back. I haven't even begun to use any of my power and I'm still stronger than you. Is that what you are Cinder, a scared, weak, little girl? A little girl that no matter how hard she tries, all she will ever be is, WEAK!!!

Cinder's eyes began to burn with nothing but rage. She let out a yell as she fired an entire blast of energy at Salem who took it head on and was sent back into a wall. Cinder then began to fire at where Salem was repeatedly with nothing but rage. This went on for a whole minute until she stopped, panting. Cinder fell to the ground exhausted. Meanwhile, Salem walked out of the smoke cloud with only one scratch on her cheek which healed instantly.  Salem smiled at Cinder. 

Salem: That's more like it. 

Just then the doors to the room burst open. Cinder and Salem looked at the doors to see Tyrian entering, scared, and saddened. Spectre who had been meditating looked at Tyrian, seeing him in a tormented state made Spectre smile. Salem walked towards Tyrian who fell to his knees while muttering to himself. 

Tyrian: (Quietly) She'll forgive me. She'll forgive me. She'll forgive me. She has to. She will. Everything is going to be fine. Everything will. 

Salem: Tyrian. 

Tyrian looked up at Salem scared. 

Salem: Your task. Where you successful? 

Tyrian looked at the ground in shame. 

Tyrian: N-no. 

Salem said nothing and began to walk out of the room while motioning for Cinder to follow her. 

Tyrian: Please my Queen!!!! Give me another chance!!!

Salem stopped and without looking at Tyrian. 

Salem: You've disappointed me Tyrian. 

Tyrian's entire world crumbled at her words. While Salem and Cinder left the room, Tyrian began to cry. He had failed her. The one person he swore to always make proud was disappointed in him. How could he live with himself? He failed his Queen, his goddess. He failed the only person in this world that mattered to him. He was a failure.
