It is the next day and I wake up early, mainly because I couldn't sleep as much as I wanted due to last night's conversation with Blake.

*Flashback*

" Your Sienna's little brother, aren't you" She says as she stares me dead in the eyes. I look at her with the same glare. "Well, isn't that lovely Daughter of the Chieftain." I say which shocks her. "I'm surprised everyone hasn't connected the dots." I say which causes her to give me a death glare. "Why are you here." she says while trying to be intimidating. I chuckle and decide to humour her. "I have no idea what you may be implying Blake but rest assured I'm not with The White Fang." I say while smirking. "I see that as hard to believe." she says while going for her weapon.

deciding to end it I use Diablo's key trait. Horrify. she looks at me in slight fear as I walk up to her while staring her down. "How can you be so sure when you don't even know the full story." I say as she looks at me in increasing fear as I approach. "Considering I don't even know what my sister looks like and the fact that I never have stepped foot on Menagerie shows how disconnected I am to Faunas." I say starting to growl with my voice as she steps back. "I grew up in constant fear and abuse from my peers for no reason other than I was the only faunas in that Orphanage or maybe something else entirely." I say right in front of her as she quivers in front of me. " I never knew what happiness was until I left with some Divine Intervention."

"The Irony in what you just said is through the roof" I hear Diablo say in my Mind which i try to ignore to maintain focus."I-I-I'm sorry I-I, I didn't k-know." she say in pure terror. I could only imagine how terrifying I look to others. my expressions soften and i hold my hand out. "Good, glad we came to an understanding." I say innocently which leaves her frozen. she then grabs my hand and I lead her to my couch. "look sorry about scaring you, that just happens when I try to prove a point. What I'm trying to get at is you need to realise other people's perspectives on subjects okay." I say which calms her down and she nods. "Right, o get some sleep you'll need it." I say and she goes to leave my room. " it's nice to know I'm not the only Faunas in the room. Thanks" she says with a smile and leaves.

*End Flashback*

I get my stuff ready and leave my room and go to the Kitchen. There I see Leora sitting there looking at her Scroll. "Early Morning Person" I say which startles her. i chuckle and go to the counter to make us some coffee. "I was intrigued at this device Ozma gave to me. although it isn't a scroll, it isn't made of scribe paper." she says which gets a laugh out of me. "you can consider them the modernised version. All the info you need is on the Internet which you access using it." I say as I give her a cup. "What is this" she asks as she takes a sip. "It's coffee, helps you wake up, if you don't like it I'll make you some Tea." I say only to see her enjoying it. "No Need" she says as she continues to drink it.

I finish my coffee and go to make something for everyone to eat. This is where having complete control of fire trumps out on ovens I finish in about 10 minutes. after I finish the others walk in in their uniforms to see me in my jacket and Leora in her armour. "Before you ask, both me and Leora don't have to wear Uniform, Ozpin allowed it. Anyway enjoy" I say as i set out breakfast.

They all sit down at the larger table and dig in

They all sit down at the larger table and dig in. I go to eat at he smaller table with Leora talk her through the scroll. After we finish I check the time to see we have 10 minutes before classes, luckily our room is closest to our first class. " Alright let's move don't want to be late" i say and we head to Port's class.

Timeskip

Now I wish I was late as Port is blabbering on about random crap. I decide to tune his drabble out by putting on some Sweet and Sexy Jazz Music. unbeknownst to me i begin to softly sing with it.

(Song above, Not Mine)

Street's are a flame.
It's a mad game
Make's you stop and stare.
Need an assist
You can't resist
We'll make quite a pair.

We'll slide on in.
A magic little wicked queen.
Take a spin
The evil cannot get us
Who do you do?

The place is a wreck
We're hitt'n the deck.
They don't have a friend
Something strange from far beyond
Is haunting all my dreams.
Everything was inside out, not quite as it seems.

We'll slide on in.
A magic little wicked queen.
C'mon take a spin
The evil cannot get us
We'll take 'em on jackpots

Snakeskin boots on a Saturday night!
Kicking down doors, tryin' to make it happen!
Swing, don't miss in the wicked fight.
And then we'll start to stroll
Sway and roll
Take control! Yeahhhh

(Instrumental)

You just need to slide in.
You little wicked queen.
You can't take another spin
They want to get it
Trying to upset it.

Snakeskin boots on a Saturday night!
Kicking down doors tryin' to make it happen!
Swing, don't miss in the wicked fight.
And then we'll start to stroll
Sway and roll
Take control! Yeahhhh
Snakeskin boots on a Saturday night!
Kicking down doors tryin' to make it happen!
Swing, don't miss in the wicked fight.
And then it's out, then dark, and then
we'll go, sway, roll.
Snakeskin boots on a Saturday night!

(Stop Music, or don't I don't mind)

I notice Ruby was listening to me and was tapping to my singing much to Weiss' Ire. Port decided to shut up about his story and say something interesting "Who among you thinks they embody these values" Weiss' hand immediately shoots up and I put mine, "Excellent, Young Man, you first" he says as I draw Vulcan and Hephaestus. He opens a cage and a Ursa Major comes out. it doesn't live long as Vulcan's concentrated Fire bullets and Hephaestus' Lightning rounds tear right through it. it dies before it even tried to hurt me.

"Bravo, now Miss Schnee it is your turn" Ports says as he unleashes a Boarbatusk at the girl. "Go for it's belly it has now Armour there" Ruby yells to her Partner who struggles to damage the Grimm. "RUBY I'm trying to focus!" Weiss Yells in frustration which causes Ruby to look down. eventually Weiss kills the thing, but then in true ice Queen fashion she storms out. Ruby follows her and I walk in their direction. "Ozpin made a mistake " I hear Weiss say and storms off once more.

"Well, That escalated quickly I mean, that got really got out of hand fast" i say which scares Ruby. "Dialon, do you think Weiss is right." she asks sadly as crouch down to her. "Maybe, maybe not. it remains to be seen whether you're up for the task. Weiss doesn't realise it but anyone can be a leader, no matter of skill or experience. You have a large burden as you now represent a team as their Leader. so sometimes you can't act like everything is alright and anything is possible. sometimes you need to roll with what the world gives you and make the best out of it. In my eyes, You'll be a perfect Leader in time. Weiss just needs to realise it"

My speech sparks some new confidence in the Crimson Reaper and she heads for our next class. I pull out Mephisto's Soul Stone and sigh. "Now how do we get you out." i say to no-one as Blake approaches. "get who out of what exactly." Blake says as i see comes from behind. "oh, nothing just rambling to myself," i say quickly which she seems to buy into. "Alright, we might want to hurry to our next class though"

when she walks forward I follow silently sighing while engaging mental conversation with Diablo. ' Diablo any ideas on how to wake him up.' he thinks for a moment before replying. "When you awakened me you were overflowing with Terror, Mephisto may need a large source of Hatred to awaken ."I realise it seems plausible so I go along with it. 'So I need to provide the crystal enough hatred to unlock, how do I do that' I thin as I enter my next class.
