Vol. 5 Ep. 2 - Dread in the Air

Professor Lionheart sits in his office with his head in his hands, looking disturbed. He then flinches at the sound of sharp metal grazing against a rough surface. He turns to where the sound came from to see Salem's apprentice, sharpening her deer knives. Someone then opens the door to the room, and that person is Dr. Watts.

Watts: Are we ready?

Salem's Apprentice: She's already waiting.

Salem's apprentice then sheaths her knives back in her sleeves. Lionheart lifts his head to look at Watts as he closes the door behind him and steps into the room. A brief exchange of looks is made as Lionheart turns his head away from Watts who smirks in response. The three soon enter a secret hallway adjacent to the office. At the end of the curved hallway is a circular room containing a Seer Grimm.

Watts: After you.

Watts pushes Lionheart closer to the Seer Grimm.

Lionheart: Your Grace, are... you there?

The red smoke-like substance contained in the head of the Seer Grimm shifts to form an image of Salem and Cinder at their location in Salem's Domain.

Salem: Hello, Leonardo. Do you have something to report?

Salem and Cinder are also looking through a Seer Grimm to communicate with Lionheart and Watts.

Lionheart: Of course, ma'am. I would not waste your time, if not.

Watts: I'm still just so fascinated by this creature. Cinder dear, are we coming through? (tapping the Seer) Can you see us clearly? Well, as clearly as you can.

Cinder: Shut... up.

Salem's Apprentice: Enough, Watts!

Salem: Apprentice, where have you been?

Salem's Apprentice: I'm sorry for not contacting you sooner, your grace. When Tyrian and I were separated, I continued my pursuit with the silver-eyed girl. But I failed. So I had to resort to meeting with Leonardo as it was still my other mission.

Salem: I see. Now, your report, Leonardo. What is it?

Lionheart: I've... I've found the Spring Maiden.

Salem: Is that so? Well done. Arthur, had I known how useful you'd be in expediting this process, I would've sent you long, long ago.

Watts: As much as I'd love to take credit, ma'am, I can't say that either of us are to thank for this development. I guess you could say, a little birdie told us.

Salem: Explain.

Lionheart: You see, ma'am, Qrow Branwen arrived at Haven Academy earlier today. He believes Spring has taken residence with his sister's tribe.

Cinder: Is... the girl... with him?

Watts: Yes, Miss Rose was in attendance, as well as the boy.

Salem's Apprentice: The Timekeeper is also with Qrow, your grace.

Salem: That reminds me, I've heard that a small group of the Tengu Clan are still trying to raid the main camp of that tribe. Are those Tengu are still there?

Lionheart: Yes ma'am! (D/N) conformed it. But, they are after the information on how one of their greatest members have died. You have to hurry! Qrow is already at odds with my--
