Far From Home Chapter 5 part 2

Deep within the Academy, Ozpin was then seen sitting next to the stasis pod that kept the comatose Maiden of Autumn, Amber alive, yet trapped within her own body

The old man sighed as he placed a hand upon Amber's stasis pod as he looked at her with a remorseful look.

"...I am sorry Amber, for anticipating what befell you." Ozpin says as he rubbed the glass as a small creaking noise was heard when he swiped the condensation away as he sighed, wishing either a shot or something to numb his mind.

So far, no one had been found with the right aptitude in which they would be able to inherit whatever remained of Amber's Maiden strength, especially after that assailant failed in the transfer of said power.

"If you can hear me, well, Qrow and I have been on the hunt for the trio that had hunted you all those years ago, and yet ... .we've no trail to push through, we have however setted up wanted posters, and alerted the police and local Huntsmen about them...not much but it is something." Ozpin says, though the way he described it, was more of him explaining it to himself rather than to the one he's sitting beside

Another sigh escaped his lips as he looked up to the ceiling of the Vault, aside from the Crown of Choice that one of the few Valean kings of old wore, The Indecisive he recalled.Amber, the Autumn Maiden was the only other thing that was kept within the confines of the room.

Continuing to look up, he began to wonder as his mind crossed to this...Roman. 

"You know, I encountered someone, I think you would've liked him." Ozpin muses as he sipped on his drink.

"While strong physically, he had a hard time understanding our ways, and from what I gathered...he isn't much from here now is he?" Oz chuckled and as he was about to speak more, his Scroll beeped out.

'Who could that be?' Ozpin asks himself in curiosity as he pulled out his scroll, it was the Dusty Old Bird.

"Oi, Ozzy! Got some new intel here, can't send it all, but here's what I got for ya, especially on that last-minute with that new guy you mentioned. Summary: This man is a complete unknown, got no deets. That you probably figured out for yourself. Though I did find this strange ruin here, there's a couple Boarbas, aside front that. Pretty empty from what you or the militia stated." The message readOzpin nodded as he wondered about this as he looked up in curiosity, recalling the Roman."Felix...I wonder who sent you? Was it the gods of your world, or the ones that abandoned mine? I suppose we shall soon see where the die of fate leads us all then." he muses more to himself as he stood up and cleaned his spot as he glanced at Amber

"Perhaps he'll be someone needed in the Inner Circle, or a capable student, once he's adjusted to our ways." he says as he remembered that arrogance that could make Atlesians shiver or fire back, that pride for an empire or country he had never heard about. And his skills, which, while outdated and no good against more mobile Grimm, can be refined to something that can slay both Grimm and Men.

"I hope we'll find the one who can give you some form of peace, Amber." He says with a remorseful tone to her as he walks, hoping that the day will be calmer than now.

Getting into the elevator, he hopes that a new vessel will be found as he prays for the other three Maidens to be safe...
