a change in leadership

Crimson pov

The way back to salams tower was a long one i felt bad for hurting my friends and i was thinking about what ozpin told me and wondering what would happen i eventually got there and walked in seeing everyone there including arthur and tyrian who has a robot tail "where is the relic" salem asks "its right here" i say holding up the lamp shaped relic "excellent" she says "salem i have a message for you" i tell her "from who" she asks "i need everyone else out of the room if you would" i say salem nods gesturing everyone to the door they all stand up and leave i close the door behind them "now who sent this message" she asks "it was ozpin" i say feeling the anger well up in her "and what did this message say" she asks "he said that he was sorry he never should have ran and he regrets it every second of every day" i repeat to her expecting a well of anger instead salem does something i never expected she cries letting her guard down enough for me to see what she's thinking i run to her and begin comforting her "salem i know this may be overstepping my boundaries but don't you think its time to put an end to this" i say softly "you may be right i have been doing this for way to long and its only caused me pain" she says "exactly now might be the time to do something new" i say "but what would i do" she asks "anything you want start your own city, make new friends, open a bakery the possibilities are endless and you have all the time in the world" i say causing her to laugh a bit "a bakery really" she says smiling "if you wanted yes" i say smiling back "you may come back in" salem says standing up all of them come back in and take there seats "i have an announcement to make" salem says to them who all look up to her "what is it madam" tyrian asks salem then grabs my shoulders and sits me in her chair surprising everyone including me "i am transferring leadership to crimson and leaving" salem declares "wait what" i yell "you said it yourself i should do something and i believe you would be the perfect replacement" salem says "what will you do" i ask her "we'll see but once i find it I'll make sure to visit" salem says walking toward the door "well i guess goodbye then" i say baffled "goodbye" she says leaving the room with us all completely shocked "well that happened" i say jokingly "what will we do now" emerald asks "well im not going to be continuing the quest to conquer remnant so if you don't like that you may leave now" i say to the group arthur and tyrian stand up "understood i hope you two have good lives" i say to them as they leave "emerald mercury you may sit" i say to the two and they do happily "so if you're not going to conquer remnant what will you do" cinder asks "im going to fix all the problems we started" i explain "and what's the first step" hazel asks "well we need to give the relic back and apologize to the people we stole it from" i explain the whole table growls "yes i know you don't have to get along you just have to apologize" i say trying to calm them down "why should i apologize to that murderer" hazel says "hazel i know you miss her but ozpin was not to blame she knew the risk and she took it" i say giving him a serious look he was about to say something but backed down "and why should i apologize to that girl" cinder hisses "cinder you killed her friend and your plan caused the death of another and ruined yangs reputation" i explain to them they to want to say something but can't "glad were all on the same page now we have apologies to make and i would like to get there sooner than later" i say "okay" they say following me we then head to where ruby is

It took a while to get there but we finally got to where ruby is "ok you guys stay here I'll call you over when im sure they wont attack" i say to the four who nod still upset they have to apologize i then nock on the door "coming" i hear ruby say from inside the room the door then opens and ruby looks at me and scowls "why are you here" she says coldly "we came to apologize" i tell her "who's we" ruby asks i then look over to the group and ruby follows "i will not let them in this house" ruby says "and i don't think they want in they just wish to apologize so please will you let them" i beg her "let me tell the rest of them just don't try anything" ruby says then walking back in the room after a while we hear multiple foot steps and all of them walk out of the room getting incredibly angry when they see us "what are they doing here ruby" yang asks ruby her semblance activating "she says there here to apologize" ruby explains "well then get to it" yang says i look at my group and nod we all bow down "we are sorry for everything we have done to you we don't expect you to forgive us but we needed to apologize" i say and the rest follow "we're sorry" they say "can you please explain" ozpin says "you may go" i say to the four who then leave "now you really need to explain" weiss cuts in "i will but can i tell you inside" i ask them they look at each other then ruby answers "yes you may" she says walking back inside
