Heart Attack

Let her go

Damian walked towards us, after noticing how much we were observing Altair. He gazed into those hypnotic eyes. They seemed to recognize each other, neither Oscar or I understood the situation.

"The prince of the shadows is being recognized by one of them"

 Oscar and I nodded, deciding not to question it. 

"Amyr, it is an honor to meet you," said Altair with a nod.

"Likewise zil," said Damian calmly. 

"Damian, Ozpin is back, you need to take oscar"

"Of course Kori,"

"I have things to do, Pine, come with me, I need us to talk." Damian left me alone with whom he called a shadow.

"You both seem close" commented Altair.

"We have turned close...we are like family. All of us are" I answered looking back at him. "Are you and your team not as close?"

Altair looked at the others who were practicing, as well as Nora looking dejected, they had said something that made her sad. Either that or she was still stressed about the recent arguments she has had with Ren. They all seemed close, therefore it was strange to hear him saying we were close that curiously.

"We separate our job from our personal lives. Doing what we are told without the hindrance of emotions" answered the man looking back at me with those molten gold eyes. Did he notice? "Yet, I am not completely against it. Sometimes personal feelings can unite, make us stronger as they make us weaker. Something many do not understand"

"Would you explain?" I asked him, it was intriguing to hear someone say that.

"Most of them are not united, or at least, those who we consider mentors decided to be only doing their job. They do not notice that unifies them already." He told me he then extended his hand. "You see, we have fingers, they are separated but united. What completes a hand? A hand without fingers is useless, and fingers without a hand are as well. Tell me, what would happen if the fingers think they can detach themselves just because they are separate?"

"They would end up useless" I smiled understanding at last his point. "You are concerned for your mentors...and you are the one who strategies among the students"

He had a ghost smile on his lips and nodded. "Yes, I have done as much as I can to unite those of us who are under those mentors, to avoid that philosophy from creating gaps. I have learned that as well from the league of shadows. The reason as to why some believe some emotions are weaknesses is because its a double-edged sword."

"Indeed" Dick, he was one, he used to be my strength, my normality, what made me feel part of that world. But now...

"Whoever was the double-edged sword that made you make that expression has dulled" his voice, though serious it was comforting. I blinked astonished by what Altair said. "You need to let it go and cease using it. Lock it in a box, anything, but don't use it anymore"

"Thank you Altair, I'll keep it in mind"

"Of course amyrti" I didn't understand what he said. I still hadn't learned the language. "Would you like to spar?"

I nodded excitedly, allowing the man to distract me from my previous thoughts. After that, it was time for us to separate my dear brother Oscar from the other soul. We had prepared everything, at least Damian and I did, Qrow was at the door to avoid anyone from entering. It had been hard to convince Bart not to come, but we told him to distract the rest in order to do what we needed. We were ready. We held a crystal in hand, sent to us by Rachel. It was green within a black choker just for Oscar. He laid on the bed as Damian and I got to work. Closing our eyes we entered his mind.
