Chapter 23 - 23: Salem's circle

Salem's POV

" So you're starting your trouble again, ozma," I say looking over the reports of Grimm outbreaks and the recent raid on Domremy. Touching my scroll I zoom in on one particular Beowulf.

" Lykaon, the wolf king," I say as I look at the other figure in the video. " Hmmm, already has Aura and a decent and stable amount, defeated a named Grimm. Just who are you, someone with a heart or another one of his ploys to lower my guard."

As I'm looking at the scroll contemplating the next course of action, the office elevator opens up. Stepping out is two people I trust enough to be in my circle of friends and protectors.

" Richard, Gwen, so good to see you're back in one piece. I got your message and I've been looking into this worrisome news," I say as they sit down in front of me. As they do the elevator opens up and several other people walk into my office.

Summer Rose, Quill branwen, and Raven branwen, Roma torchwick, Thumbellina Peach, Ivy sustrai, Glynda goodwitch, and finally Gale "giggles" goodwitch.

Summer is a spitting image of her daughter Ruby from the photos she keeps sending me across scroll book. Pale white skin with deep silver eyes framed by shoulder length black hair that gradiated to red. A white cloak frames her motherly body as her huntress outfit is Gothic in nature.

Quill and Raven are both identical twins with pale skin and red eyes but the difference between them is their hair style. Raven has long meticulously cared for hair while Quill has shortened wolf cut hair that looks like she has just gotten out of bed, or fucked, probably both.

Rebecca torchwick also known as Becky, is a woman with a sense of style with her bowler hat and suit combo that matches her brother Roman. She's also wearing a set of knee high leather boots. She's the financial and law teacher.

Thumbellina Peach is a fair skinned mouse faunus with large brown mouse ears that match her hair. She is the professor of dust studies and theory.

Ivy sustrai is a dark skinned fox faunus with green hair and a green fox tail. A warm smile graces her face bringing beauty to her scared face. Her eyes are deep red like the branwen twins. She's the school nurse.

Glynda goodwitch is a tall buxom blonde woman with a pension for teaching, thought she has a sweet side for cute things. She's the Combat instructor

Gale Alexander goodwitch (g.a.g) aka known as giggles, is a tall man with mid shoulder length blonde hair that's braided and a goofy grin. His eyes are the same shade of green as his sister and he's casually holding Becky in his arms, as they sit together. He teaches history and is the school's certified counselor.

" Glad everyone has made it here safely, and I'd like to say as of this year professor port is retiring and next year we will have a new Grimm studies teacher. A Sierra wolffe, she's retired from being a active huntress recently after the Domremy raid the other day," I say as I pour myself some tea and pass the pot around to the others.

" I just met the young lady recently and she's retiring due to her almost loosing her life," says Richard, "surprised me when I read over the after action report and found out my grandson had taken a lot of Grimm down himself. "

" Oh is it this the same man that defeated the named Grimm?" Asks Raven as she looks at the projection I've started up.

" Seems like he has a stable Aura, but the main question is who unlocked it," says summer narrowing her eyes at the screen.

" Unfortunately it wasn't anyone in my family," says Richard as he sighs," my son isn't that considerate of my grandson's life."

" This could be bad , ozma has used this tactic before. Giving Aura to a man before slowly transforming them to Grimm. Using the lure of named Grimm and the strength they give. I fear he may be using your grandson Richard," I say sighing as I sip my tea.

" I agree with you but it may be something else," says Richard," Jaune has the marks of two named Grimm. Bitores and lykaon, I don't know if he's with the Grimm king or if he's just unlucky to get his attention now."

" I say bring him here this next year, the reason is to watch him. Either to protect or keep an eye on him," says Gale as he plays with Rebecca's hair.

" Agreed," I say as I sigh looking at the broken moon, " strange times are ahead, the maidens have lost most of their power ever since the sealing and all the transfers from hosts. The great war, faunus war and this terrorist group have severely weaken the kingdoms. Atlas staying in their own little world above the clouds isn't helping."

" I agree, corruption runs rampant in that city and mantle suffers. Willow, Winter, Fiona and Jane are trying to curb the council's foolishness but it's a uphill battle," Glynda says shaking her head.

" Aww missing your girl buddies," Snickers Quill until summer slaps her across the back of the head.

" Quite you," says summer as she pouts," or your in the dog house."

" Shit, I'll behave," says Quill as I smirk at the teams antics.

Soon everyone leaves as I sigh and grab the teapot again pouring some more before I look at the video again. His semblance, his fighting, the look on his eyes.

" The rusted knight, protector of the people, do you plan on continuing your duty or would you be the Grimm knight and watch the world burn," I say as I sip my tea.
