It's All Changed

Volume 4 Ep. 6 - Taking Control

Narration
-Y/N-

Once arriving at the Evernight Castle, Tyrian's whimpers became louder and more frightful. "Tyrian..." The raven-haired male let out annoyed. The Faunus pays no attention and walks towards his queen that stood only a few paces away with the Fall Maiden.

Once entering the room, Tyrian falls onto his knees and bows towards Salem. "Sorry..." He softly lets out. "Pleeeease. Forgive me." He lets out in a small voice.

"Tyrian!" Salem calls towards him. Tyrian raises his head and looks up at the woman. Y/N stopped close behind the kneeling Tyrian. "Your task... were you successful?" She asks the Faunus.

Tyrian looks back at the teen behind him. Seeing him softly nod, Tyrian looks up at Salem again, before looking down ashamed.

"N... no." He finally answers. Salem's face was masked with a face of disappointment, before walking away. Y/N and Cinder watch their leader for her further reaction.

"But... but hope is not lost!" Tyrian lets out. "My tail, my stinger, I -- I poisoned him, Qrow! He will not be a nuisance to you any longer, no... no longer. I've done that..." He continues, hoping to please Salem.

Tyrian turns to Salem, still on his knees. "H -- H -- Have I done well? Have I pleased you?" He asks her. Salem continues to walk away. She turns her head over their shoulder, looking down at Tyrian.

"The last eye is blinded... you disappoint me." She replied, leaving the room. Tyrian freezes in shock, before clawing at the ground. Then, he starts to sob loudly.

Tyrian suddenly turns to Y/N. "You! You promised she would forgive me! You lied... Why would you lie to me?!" Tyrian shouts towards the boy. "Tyrian, I can't see into the future. I don't know how the Mistress would react, Tyrian." Y/N tells him.

Tyrian gritted his teeth and slowly stood. "But you promised!!!" Tyrian lashes out, now angered. He thrusts his wrists out, activating The Queen's Servants.

"Crap..." Y/N mutters under his breath, equipping Acheron. "Tyrian! We can just... you know! Laugh it out! Like you usually do!" Y/N reasons as he eyes Tyrian cautiously.

"Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!!!" Tyrian shouts at him. He dashes towards the teen. Y/N was fast enough to bring Acheron up to his face, shielding it from Tyrian's attempt of an attack.

Tyrian slowly started to chuckle and pushed down on Y/N. Gritting his teeth, Y/N pushes in the opposite direction. "Tyrian... you're just wasting your time..." Y/N lets out.

The teen looks up at the Faunus and noticed his once before golden eyes were changed to his more sinister purple ones. Swiftly, Y/N detaches Acheron's spearhead and swiped up at Tyrian, cutting a shallow gash on his cheeks.

"Agh!" Tyrian cries out in pain, jumping off of Y/N. The raven-haired boy took this chance and teleported behind Tyrian. Before the Faunus could regain his focus, he is knocked out and slumps to the floor.

Y/N heaves a sigh while he detaches his spearhead back to the shaft. "We could've just laughed it off, Tyrian..." Y/N sighs out, patting the Faunus' head.

"But you had to act on your crazy side..." Y/N continued. "And now..." Y/N pauses and heaves Tyrian over his shoulder. "time for your bedtime..." He finished and starts making his way towards Tyrian's quarters.

. . .

Upon request, Y/N entered the Conference Hall where Salem was, looking out the window and staring into the Land of Darkness. Quietly closing the door behind him, he walks into the room and stops a few feet behind Salem.

"You called, Mistress?" Y/N lets out, announcing his presence in the grand room. Salem turns away from the window and towards the young male. Upon seeing him, she smiles.

"Have you had the chance to use my gift, child?" Salem asks him. "No, I haven't, Mistress." Y/N humbly replies. Salem walks towards the boy and looks down on him, still smiling. Y/N hung his head low, feeling guilty for not keeping his promise for his Faunus friend and not accomplishing his mission.

"I couldn't help, but felt the need to apologize. We failed in catching the girl. I apologize, Mistress." Y/N softly lets out. Salem places her hand on Y/N's cheek, bringing his head up towards her.

"There's no need to apologize, child. It was Tyrian's mission, not yours." Salem assured him. "But, it will be your mission to retrieve the girl now." Salem tells Y/N.

"I will do my best to please you, Mistress." Y/N replied with determination. Salem smiles and kisses the boys forehead. "Y/N, if you have the chance to, use my gift to your advantage." Salem tells him, letting go of the boy's cheek.

"Yes, Mistress." Y/N nods. "I will be on my way now." Y/N humbly lets out, before turning away from his mistress and leaving the room.
