We open to Cinders face fully healed and walking through a street of Mistral wearing a cloak with her teammates.

Mercy: so how long till we get to the place

Emerald who was looking over a map.

Emerald: it should be about a few more blocks or so.

Mercy: gods.

Cinder looks at her fixed hand feeling a tingle in it making her hand shake, she sighs looking up the street. But just behind her a hat floats by. followed by a cloaked figure with a slight orange in their hair 

(Meanwhile)

You: We need to take the Relic to Atlas?

Team RWBY, JNPR, you and Quill Branwen are seen back at the house in Mistral.

Quill: That's what Oz said.

Everybody looks to Weiss Schnee.

Weiss: You've got to be joking...

Nora: I mean, bright side, we finally get out of this house!

Weiss sighs.

Quill: Well trust me, I'm not crazy about it either. And without the Spring Maiden here to seal the Relic back in its Vault, it's our best option.

Rin: Atlas may be the safest kingdom we have at the moment, but their borders are closed. General Ironwood called everyone back.

Qrow: Eh, not everyone. (activates his Scroll, showing a hologram of a highlighted portion of land) The city of Argus is a ways north of us and it's the primary trading port between Anima and Solitas. They've got the largest Atlas military base outside the kingdom. There's no way they'd leave it abandoned, and if we play our cards right, I think there's a good chance we could convince them to escort us straight to Ironwood.

Blake: I mean, we do have the missing Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company.

Weiss: Ex-Heiress, actually.

Yang: True, true. But if there's a chance of reward money, I say we go for it.

Weiss: Ugh...

Ozpina: Hopefully the first option will suffice.

Octavia Pine, letting Ozpina take over, walks into the room.

Quill: Glad to see you're feeling better.

Ozpina: Likewise, and while I'm sure we could all use more time to recover, I'm afraid time is of the essence.

Blake: Right, as long as that thing's out in the open, its power could fall into the wrong hands.

June: Speaking of, what does it do exactly? Quill never really told us.

Everyone looks to Ozpina, who turns around to face them.

Ozpina: Of course. (detaches the Relic from her hip) The Relic of Knowledge has a wonderful, and incredibly dangerous ability. (the Relic grows into it's original size as it was found) Its user can ask any question, and the Lamp will provide an answer.

Ozpina places the Relic down, and it floats on the table.

Rin: (in awe) Intriguing...

Blake: That's incredible...

You: mystical.

Ozpina: Indeed. However, it's not without drawbacks. The Lamp cannot tell of events that have yet to happen, and it will only ever answer three questions every one hundred years.

Yang: Well, I guess that's not so bad. Adds a lot of pressure though.

Nora: Then let's put it to a vote! (zips around the room, causing Ruby to jump and Quill to spit out her coffee) What should we ask first? Oh! Can we ask for more questions? CAN WE ASK FOR MORE QUESTIONS?!

Rin: (facepalming) They're not wishes...

Ozpina: (chuckling) I'm afraid you won't be able to ask it anything at the moment. (Nora grunts in frustration) The questions were used before I sealed it away.

Ruby: Well, at least now we know what it is. we'll be sure to keep it safe and secure.

Back in the present day, You scour through the train wreckage. You picks up Dust bullets, before looking to see the Relic of Knowledge slightly buried in the snow nearby. Yang can be heard complaining as she struggles to get Bumblebee out of the snow.

Yang: Great! This is just great! We're stranded, we lost a third of our party, and we've gained a strenger who somehow y/n knows!

With one final heave, Yang manages to extricate Bumblebee, but falls over to the ground, with her motorcycle following suit as she's partially covered in snow.

Maria: My name is Maria Calavera, and I am not a strenger, I know y/n because he sheltered me once

Ruby: how did he

Maria: it was an old Atlas bunker he treated me and healed me.

Yang: huh so you shacked up with him

Maria: no I didn't!

Quill: (grunts) Yang, knock it off, will ya? If we lose our cool now, we'll just be inviting even more Grimm.

Blake: Does that even matter? Apparently, we've been attracting Grimm ever since we left Haven.

Yang: Oh, and how could I forget about that? (turns to Octavia) What happened to no more lies and half truths?

Octavia: Yeah, I think it's time we got an explanation...

Octavia's eyes glow as control of her body is switched to Ozpina, who furrows her brow at Yang's accusations.

Ozpina: I did not lie to you...

Weiss: Well you certainly didn't tell us everything about the Relic.

Ozpin: Please, now is not the time.

Yang: No, we're past that! I wanna know why you're still not telling us everything!

Ruby: why didn't you tell us about the relic.

Ozpina: It is true that the Grimm are attracted to the Relics. It's faint, but undeniable. I believe it has to do with their origin, but I'm not entirely sure. Regardless, I feared that making you all aware would only add anxiety and negativity. It seemed like the safer option.

Weiss: You know, I'm getting real tired of people choosing what's best for me.

Yang: Is that why you chose to lie to everyone about Lionheart too?

Ozpin: Yes, as a matter of fact, I believed the Kingdom of Mistral deserved better than the truth. And I believed Leonardo deserved to be remembered for his lifetime of service, and not for the unfortunate missteps he made in his final years.

Yang: Missteps?!

Ozpin: What Professor Lionheart did was reprehensible. I am not here to argue differently, but does one lapse in judgment truly negate all of his good? Do we not all have regrets? You may have met Professor Lionheart, but you never met the man he was before Salem found him.

Yang: Look, we're supposed to be in this together. You can trust us! We're not gonna turn our backs on you.

Ozpina: (raising his voice) Do you really think Leo was the first?!

Everyone stops.

Ozpina: That he didn't say those exact same words to me? I'm sorry, but you have to understand that my behaviors are backed by experience. I'm not saying that I have reason to think you will betray me. I'm saying that I have reasons for the things that I do, the secrets I keep, the reason I... (suddenly stops and realizes something) Where's the Relic?

You: I have it.

You show the relic behind your back holding the snake pistol in the other.

You: it was scattered in the crash

Ozpina: Please, hand it over.

Ozpina reaches her hand out, but you were hesitated.

You: So all those times you talked about having faith in humanity, that was just for everyone else?

Ozpina: (sighs) That's not what I meant to suggest. Mr. L/n, the Relic is a powerful item and I simply feel as though it is my burden to bear.

You: Oz. You said it couldn't do anything right now.

Blake: Why does it matter who carries it?

Ozpina: I need you to listen to me--

Ozpina reaches her hand out, but suddenly is stopped, stuck in her position.

Quill: Oz?

Octavia: (fighting back for control) Hurry... She's... trying to stop you!

Yang: Stop him from what?

Octavia: She's afraid... you'll find out what she's... hiding!

Octavia suddenly collapses, Ruby Yang, Weiss and Blake glare at the girl with intense looks while you holds the Relic of Knowledge defensively.

Octavia: Her name is Jinn. Say her name to summon her.

You: Her name?

The wind picks up much more gradually, blowing snow even harder. The Relic starts to glow in your hands.

You: Jinn?

Suddenly, the snow stops, floating in midair. The wind stops blowing too.

Quill: What?

You then lets go of the Relic as it floats a short distance away, cyan smoke emanates from it. Suddenly, the lamp is enveloped in the smoke, and from it, a giant, semi-nude feminine figure emerges. Her skin and hair is colored blue, and decorated with gold jewelry and ornaments.

 The figure stretches and moans as she has been awakened once again. This is Jinn, the aforementioned being inhabiting the Relic of Knowledge.

Jinn: Wonderful.

Everyone stares in awe at Jinn.

Jinn: Tell me, what knowledge do you seek?

(Meanwhile)

Back in the streets of Mistral Cinder and her teammates were walking through the cramped street with covered in the cloaks. Cinder looks to her side and notices a holographic screen showing portraits of her and her allies. A subtitle below says "LAST KNOWN LOCATION: HAVEN ACADEMY, APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AGO".

Newscaster: The perpetrators, Cinder Fall, Hazel Rainart, Emerald Sustrai, and Mercury Black have still not been seen since the attack and are presumed to have fled the city. The Mistral police department is offering a reward to any citizen...

The three now realising there wanted criminals. They put there hoods up further and start speed walking.

They walks out into the rainy streets of Mistral, among crowds of people with their umbrellas up. People still carry out their businesses as usual, both legally and illegally.

As Cinder continues walking filled by her team, she notices a symbol - a spiderweb with a spider in it - etched into the wall.

Emerald: this is the place.

Cinder and her peers then walk into a restaurant, with some of the customers bearing tattoos similar to the symbol she found. While Emerald and Mercy sit at a table, Cinder then walks up to a woman who is presumed is leader of the gang. The woman has light skin and short blonde hair kept in a bob haircut. 

She has a spider in its web tattooed on her left shoulder, a beauty mark under her right eye, lipstick on her upper lip and purple nail polish on her fingernails.

The top of her dress is white and backless, with long sleeves and details, such as beads and straps, in purple.

Below is a purple corset, and a long pleated skirt that is yellow on its top layer, purple in the middle one, and white in the lower layer. Her shoes are brown and decorated with a green ribbon.  

Lil' Miss notices her just as she was about to have her meal.

Lil' Miss: That's far enough.

Her two bodyguards walk up to Cinder, blocking her way.

Emerald and Mercy get d

 Cinder tosses down a sack full of Lien on the table.

Lil' Miss: Okay.

The bodyguards step back and Cinder takes a seat across from her.

Cinder: You're Lil' Miss Malachite?

Lil' Miss: (takes out her hand fan) I'm Lil' Miss Gon'-Skin-You-Alive if you ever take that tone with me again. (looks to the Lien on the table) Looks like your life's savings.

Cinder: It was somebody's.

Mercy mind: yeah, mine.

Lil' Miss: (laughs) Cute. (closes her hand fan) What do you want for it?

Cinder pulls out her scroll, showing portraits of June, Rin, Nora, you and Team RWBY.

Cinder: I'm looking for these travelers especially this one.

 She zooms in on your photo making Lil' Miss raise her brow

Lil' Miss: Well, sweetheart, you came to the right place.

Cinder jolts a little as she looks behind her, noticing a man entering and being greeted by his group of friends sitting around a table.

Lil' Miss: (chuckles) A little jumpy today, hmm? You know, I used to be afraid of spiders. Want to know what I did about it?

Cinder: Learn to kill them?

Lil' Miss: Oh no, the world needs spiders. I just made the spiders work for me.

Cinder looks around, noticing all of the customers have the tattoo of spiderweb, insinuating that they all work for Lil' Miss.

Lil' Miss: Give us a week, we'll find your travelers.

Cinder then gets up and leaves.

Bodyguard: Lil' Miss, we already know where they are. That big guy asked about 'em last week.

Lil' Miss: I know we know, but what we don't know is who here in Mistral might be asking about her...

She was watching Cinder going to her team and sitting with them. She smiles slightly knowing who she is.

Back in the snow, you adjust your glasses to get a better look at what's in front of you.

Jinn: I am Jinn, a being created by the God of Light to aid Humanity in its pursuit of knowledge. I've been graced with the ability to answer three questions every one hundred years. You're in luck, as I am still able to answer--

Ozpina: That's enough!

Everyone looks to Ozpina, who managed to regain control over Octavia's body.

Jinn: ... two questions this era.

Everyone is shocked, despite Ozpina telling them that the Relic won't work for them beforehand.

Jinn: (chuckles) It's a pleasure to see you again, old lady.

Ozpina: y/n, please... Don't.

Quill glances to Ozpina, and steps forward.

Quill: Hey.

Suddenly, Ruby Yang, Weiss, and Blake get defensive at Quill. You stares in disbelief.

Quill: (relenting) Do whatever you think is right, kiddo.

You pounder over the many questions until finding the one.

You: Jinn?

You turns around to face Jinn, who has a curious look on her face, while Ozpina grits her teeth in anger. You look to Ozpina who continued to grit her teeth but tears were forming in her eyes.

You: I'm sorry Ozpina.

You face Jinn

You: Jinn, I ask a question and I hope for an honest answer.

She perks up a bit smiling.

You: what is, Ozpina, hiding from us. What is she so afraid of.

Ozpina: NOOOOOOO!!

You look to Ozpina who lunges forward and is about to tackle you, but suddenly, you find yourself alone in a blank white space.

You: what? Weiss? Yang? Ruby?

You go off screen, Yang comes from your position.

Yang: Blake? Ru--

Yang goes off screen, and Weiss then appears, also calling out for their team leader.

Weiss: --by? Ruby?

Weiss goes off screen, and Blake then appears.

Blake: Yang? y/n?

Suddenly, an environment manifests, showing a path leading to a castle in the distance. A woman humming can be heard in the background.

Jinn: (narrating) Once upon a time, there stood a lonely tower...

Smoke envelops Blake, and Quill appears where she was. She looks behind her.

Jinn: ...that sheltered a lonely girl.

A rather beautiful woman sitting in front of a mirror then appears. Ruby is seen walking up to her.

Jinn: Named... Salem.
