The Sin of Ravenscar

Chaprter 5: Two Loving Masters

     Lilith looked over and saw the same little vampire from the other say. However, when she saw Qrow her blood began to boil. She dropped her pint of mead and walked over to Qrow who was about to, who held up his hand in an attempt to greet her. Before he could get a word out however, Lilith punched him in his right lung, causing him to drop to the ground. Lilith looked down at Qrow and spoke in a deep tone, full of fury and venom. "That was for disappearing for over a decade, you dick."

     Qrow groaned as he looked up at her from the floor. "I told you after that mission I had business that I had to take care of."

     Lunex stood infront of Qrow, not knowing why Lilith had struck Qrow but was terrified none the less.

     Qrow reached up and patted the little vampire on the head. "It's alright, Lunex." He stood up and looked down to Lilith. "I'm sorry Lilith, but I've found myself in quite the sticky situation. Now I have to take care of this little vampiress here named Lunex."

Lilith sighed "How did you even manage this...upon further thinking on it, why am I even surprised? You always find yourself in very strange positions."

Qrow lazily smiled. "Wanna go to an inn so I can further explain? And I do have a request. I know your gonna accept this as I have knowledge about you-know-who, and it's incredibly accurate as well."

     Lilith eyes widend before she gave a smile. "Very well Qrow, I accept I suppose." The three walked to a nearby inn, where it was quaint and quiet. They sat at a round table each grabbed a seat.

     A waitress walked over to there table, giving a smile. "Welcome! Can I start you three off with something to drink?"

     Lunex looked at the waitress and asked for milk, while both Qrow and Lilith just asked for a mug of mead.

They talked for a bit to catch up before Qrow looked at Lilith with a serious expression and began to explain how he came to take care of lunex. "So as you can see, that is my predicament. Can you help me train her?"

     Lilith held up her finger as she chugged the rest of her mead. "I suppose I can train the poor girl. But first, what's the information you have on the King In Black?"

     Qrow leaned forward a bit and began to whisper. "There are whispers that mordecai will be in the eastern winterfell forests in about 6 years. Not only that but, his tyrants won't be with him either."

     Lunex sipped her milk and swung her feet and looked at Qrow. "So who exactly is the king in black Qrow?"

     Qrow looked at Lunex with a serious face. "He is the king of purgatory and single handedly one of, if not, the most evil person to exist. Lilith here has been searching for him, but isn't having any luck. It doesn't help that he's also one of the strongest beings there is."

     Lunex looked down obviously distraught,  until Qrow leaned over and gave her a hug. "It's alright Lunex, you won't ever have to run into him those are just rumors anyway."

     Lilith sighed as she finished another chug of her flagon. "Doesn't help that he has close ties to Orluma." Seeing Lunexs face, she decided to answer before the girl could even ask. "Orluma is the god of time. He's by far one of the oldest and wisest of the gods. Legend says that when he took the Throne of Heaven for a time, he banished both the Royal Guard and Heavens Paladin for treachery."

     "Then why be friends with Mordecai?" Lunex asked

     Lilith gave a shrug. "Nobody knows. Some say it's his way of keeping The King In Black on a bit of a leash. Others say he's trying to help him down a path of redemption." At that moment, the sound of rolling thunder was heard outside the closed window. "Huh, that's odd. It was  clear all day today." The sudden strom slowly grew stronger, causing the window to start rattling.

     Qrow stood up as the group finished their meals. He didn't even react to a flagon flying past his face and out the window, shattering it. Or the crash of a table being flipped. "Let's head to our rooms. I don't want to hear the drunkards at the bar, and I doubt you two do." With that, the three headed to their rooms. Lunex and Qrow in one, and Lilith in another.

     Qrow had waited until after Lunex had fallen asleep in the room, before sneaking out out of the room and went iver to Liliths, knocking on her door. She answered the door dressed in a casual linen shirt and pants. Qrow held up a small bottle of alcohol and gave a smile. "Mind if I come in?" She tilted her head for a moment in thought, then stood aside and allowed him to walk in.

     She motioned to a nearby table and grabbed two cups from her bag setting them down. "So what's this for, Qrow? usually you'd be passed out by now."

     Qrow gave a smile as he poured them some alcohol. "I thought we could catch up it has been ten years after all."

      The bounty hunter couldnt help but give a smile. She was clearly happy to talk to her old friend once again. After an hour one story came up that Lilith had looked back on with happiness. "Hell, I remember when we sealed that zacktril. You know, you saved my life that day, and I was already in..." Lilith stopped herself and drank a bit more, the two clearly getting drunk.

     Qrow looked at Lilith with a gentle but sad smile. "You know, I've been in love with you for a while Lilith. And when I left to explore, my thoughts frequently were that of you. I missed you, your beautiful smile, and your cheery demeanor." Qrows words began to slur a bit.

     Liliths face was now bright red as she silently stood up and walked over to Qrow sitting in his lap hugging him.

     Qrow looked her in the eyes "H-Hey come on now that's kinda dangerous, you know? I don't mind, but do you?"

     Lilith stayed silent before gently kissing him and laying her head on his shoulder with a  tear coming from her eye. "I've loved you for so long and you disappeared, I would have gone with you if you asked" She had stated, tears streaming from her eyes.

     Qrow pat Lilith on the back "I know, but I didn't want to put you on more danger. That wouldn't have felt right to me, and I promise I will never hurt you again." Qrow had a pained look on his face.

     Lilith sat upright and looked at him. "Will you at least leave me with something to remember you by next time you leave?"

     Qrow leaned over and kissed her neck. "I can leave you with good memories, so let's make a few."
