Ace p.o.v.

I panted for breath, leaning against a tree as I finished running from the third patrol I had the misfortune to run across this week. But who am I kidding? They're all the same, they just think I burned down my village, despite the fact that it was Cinder Fall, not me. And as such, they made it a personal mission to hunt me down like an animal. It was one giant misunderstanding, but I was paying dearly for it. I glanced at my left arm, taking in the intricate orange markings covering my entire arm. I could use it to more effectively control and shape fire. Unfortunately, I couldn't control its final form as well as i would hope... the golden gun was the most powerful form of pyrokinesis, but on the flipside, it was the most complicated, and therefore the most difficult to control. "I will master the golden gun... I have to, or else the next time I meet Cinder, she'll wipe the floor with me..." i muttered, snorting as I added quietly," if there is a next time..." suddenly, the noise of a police sidearm being cocked as a man said," freeze, murderer." A pause, then the man said," I've cornered him, move in." I heard the ragged noise of a bunch of guns being cocked within a few seconds, and I said," well, shit." Before I could move to try to escape, a man dropped from the sky, saying," it's all under control, officers. I'll handle it." And proceeded to escort me away. The officer who cornered me said," sir, you cant just-" the stranger snapped back," don't 'sir' me, buddy. My orders come straight from General Ironwood himself." This made the man shrink into himself a little, and the stranger said," oh, and kid, call me Qrow." I said," there's no possible way you work for the general." He said," oh, I do." Once we were out of earshot, he added," he wishes. Headmaster Ozpin worked something out with Headmaster Leo." I raised an eyebrow quizically, and said," and what would that be?" Qrow said," you'll be joining a team made up of representatives from the four kingdoms." I nodded, accepting this, knowing I probably wasnt going to get  a better deal. Qrow said," you got any property?" I said," three days worth of clothes, my scroll, a pocket knife, some charcloth, and a bag to put it all in." Qrow said," what about a weapon?" I said," I don't need one. I can shape fire into whatever I need it to be." He said," I know you've got something. No one fights with just their semblance." I sighed, and said," fine. It's a single-edge dagger that I forged with my semblance in order for me to more smoothly channel my semblance into it." Qrow nodded, and said," what's it called?" I said simply," regicide." He responded," regicide? Why that, of all things?" I said," I aim to kill the woman who fancies herself to be the queen of fire." Qrow said," you mean Cinder." I nodded.
