Ever since her arrival, she had to remain quiet and observant. She had to keep her guard up and not bring in suspicion from those who were living in this world and thanks to Doctor Sauer, he had gotten her far for quite some time. However, the soldiers who she had to encounter within the town were often asking her what did she do for the doctor as she would only have to shrug them off. A smile fell upon her face as she remembered how the Ice Queen acted before she broke down her mask for the rest of Team RWBY. Remnant, what was going on back in her world ever since she was defeated by her foe?963Please respect copyright.PENANABuIKpJN0ov
963Please respect copyright.PENANAs67XDueL2d
Then she was brought back into reality when the shopkeeper had grabbed her attention. "Excuse me miss, but here is your groceries. They're all been accounted for." Stated the German manager behind the counter as he brought a paper bag to her. It was small, but she knew that the doctor had a liking to the chocolates. "That would be fifty-two Reichsmarks." He said in English, but his accent was present. "You're lucky, once the Americans start hear about chocolates, they would run me dry."963Please respect copyright.PENANA5c1pEkVCed
963Please respect copyright.PENANAO7BNkbUtom
Pyrrha smiled before handing him the money. "Its a good thing I got here first." She stated as the manager chuckled. "What is so funny?"963Please respect copyright.PENANAqoQxc9TW5r
963Please respect copyright.PENANABDY0knrhYz
"The Americans, they're not going to in here for awhile after last night." He stated.963Please respect copyright.PENANAeB3xTDzMeQ
963Please respect copyright.PENANAh2YYX3CMJn
"What happened last night? Did something happen?"963Please respect copyright.PENANAvtJbWLTlZm
963Please respect copyright.PENANAomfNTTxiQF
"Ja." The manager answered in his native tongue. "One of their officers went missing ever since his kameraden left him behind at the bar. The last person who last saw him was Mr. Burgstaller, so the MPs are investigating him if he had a hand in this."963Please respect copyright.PENANAyjO1vi9Ktc
963Please respect copyright.PENANAaD7mxJW6ow
A questioned was brought up. "What could possibly cause him to do something terrible?" She questioned him.963Please respect copyright.PENANA2qgKcEYUPq
963Please respect copyright.PENANAhzGY5UtG3W
Then he shrugged his shoulder. "I don't know, his cousin was rumored to have been killed by the Americans during the Ardennes Offensive." The manager continued. "Maybe he wants revenge for Germany's second defeat against the Allies, but was too old to fight in this war."963Please respect copyright.PENANAqeamlBmR2p
963Please respect copyright.PENANAcFeyFKWZgj
"How could he hold such a grudge against them?" Pyrrha wondered. "It doesn't make sense."963Please respect copyright.PENANAXzLaX1gaby
963Please respect copyright.PENANAXsjRx3S5Tl
"Young lady, our country was humiliated in the Great War. Then the Americans, the British, and the French-they all just told us to pay for all of the damages both sides created." He stated. "I don't blame my government for trying to be a great country again, but I do blame Hitler and his war-like party for going to war for stupid reasons."963Please respect copyright.PENANA3LgN7hXOl8
963Please respect copyright.PENANADKggJrgFSR
Holding the bag in her hands, she brought another question. "Why would you let them take power in the first place?"963Please respect copyright.PENANAkPdEJUJapO
963Please respect copyright.PENANAKpieDGm4eu
"Miss, I think that's enough questions for today." The manager replied before turning away from the counter.963Please respect copyright.PENANAI2zrgpCPpa
963Please respect copyright.PENANAQWzy1qxSZC
Then Pyrrha turned away as she slipped out of the store as she saw a sight of military-grade vehicles driving past her as she took notice of the soldiers sitting in their seats as she saw their rifles slung over their shoulders. Trucks followed after as she saw dozens of men, clumped together to be transported to a designation she knew little of.963Please respect copyright.PENANAr8BYcSXLGx
963Please respect copyright.PENANAqafNSWB6cI
One of the men took notice of her and grabbed her attention. "Hey lass, what's with the bandage over your chest." He commented on her fresh wound.963Please respect copyright.PENANAZbfjwDFQFw
963Please respect copyright.PENANAZh4N4wp4fM
Her scar... the humiliating scar she received from that girl she could not defeat. She stared at the soldier who mentioned her with an icy glare.963Please respect copyright.PENANAPZrsONRC6Q
963Please respect copyright.PENANAEczMTi9qA2
The reaction to her changed his expression as he brought himself back into his seat and returned to watching the convoy pass. Then there was a showcase of tanks as the first tank was heavier than the first, but it stopped its tracks from moving any further.963Please respect copyright.PENANAK3jbsWOagi
963Please respect copyright.PENANALHEUKERPOr
The tank's hatch opened up with a man who wore a cap instead of a helmet as he gestured his hand to tell her to move along.963Please respect copyright.PENANAIuNz3Wwjbn
963Please respect copyright.PENANAi9pAKm7iyK
Pyrrha nodded her head in respect and crossed the road without hesitation as her high-heel shoes clicked the cobblestone street.963Please respect copyright.PENANAhY9mKR1zkY
963Please respect copyright.PENANATJPNRuV3Fl
As the tanks proceeded to continue their journey, she was met with another woman dressed in black. Her dress exposed more of her legs until it reached above her knees. It brought the attention of many of the soldiers riding the tanks who whistled and waved for her attention; sadly, it was all for naught since she ignored their calls.963Please respect copyright.PENANAHhRdJUfCsN
963Please respect copyright.PENANAQoab09hPr6
The woman who stood in front of her was familiar, very familiar indeed. Pyrrha knew who she was and tightened her grip on the doctor's bag as the last of the military convoy had finally left the street they stood on.963Please respect copyright.PENANAUNIwpuBTun
963Please respect copyright.PENANAEXMH4NIJeq
Then they both confronted each other as the brunette smiled at her. "Hello Pyrrha Nikos." She began. "I see you are still alive after all of this time."963Please respect copyright.PENANAN0DBBFd40T
963Please respect copyright.PENANAEfWCmTLUGG
Pyrrha gave a cold glare towards the lady in front of her. "Why are you here?" Came her demands. "Are you here to finish what you started?"963Please respect copyright.PENANAXRijmhnn6h
963Please respect copyright.PENANAy0zbi0zsGN
"No, but allow me to introduce myself. I'm Cinder."963Please respect copyright.PENANAa9YNpHkmij
963Please respect copyright.PENANAgZT8pCzIx9
"What are you doing here?"963Please respect copyright.PENANAadG4PKKXXx
963Please respect copyright.PENANAP6JQolgyei
Cinder smiled. "I'm here to give you an offer and its one you will need to hear about."963Please respect copyright.PENANAR9LrCUvbrD
963Please respect copyright.PENANAUN0r1RJfFu
Pyrrha prepared herself as she continued to tighten her fists. "What kind of offer?"963Please respect copyright.PENANAf9GzMexb9O
963Please respect copyright.PENANALujB5Ioibo
"Don't worry, I am not here to end you since this place nullifies my aura as well." Cinder stated. "Now to the matter of this offer. I will let you live if you do not return to Remnant, but if you try to return to stop me I will finish what we both started back at beacon." It could have been said that her eyes were burning. "However, I am not here for you, but for someone else."963Please respect copyright.PENANA2bVgVhmNhy
963Please respect copyright.PENANAckhKspOrsW
"Who?"963Please respect copyright.PENANA7C0kmY7EWT
963Please respect copyright.PENANApkDBNCFQsI
"This is a matter I have to discuss with Doctor Sauer. Don't follow me, it's very personal. If you do, I may drown this place in Grimm." Then Cinder began to walk past her as she continued her way down the street.963Please respect copyright.PENANAoSgywTgGHf
963Please respect copyright.PENANAb1QeTaV1rj
She watched her foe make her way before the voice of an older man stepped up. "Are you looking for me?" Turning her head behind her back, she was met with a stoic face of the doctor's who brought out a different side of his personality.963Please respect copyright.PENANA6xvz8bv3Kf
963Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZjGzeyC9I
"I have and I have awaited to see you again." Cinder stated as Pyrrha stepped back to see two confront each other in the street.963Please respect copyright.PENANAzjWW4uWLvV
963Please respect copyright.PENANAtfIUsAVNC3
"Return to the Americans." He stated. "I must speak with her... alone." His emotionless gaze aimed at the woman who almost killed her.963Please respect copyright.PENANAuoXxhR1kQL
963Please respect copyright.PENANA5AD9El5Eid
Pyrrha protested. "Doctor Sauer, do you know who she is?"963Please respect copyright.PENANALekpX2pYPL
963Please respect copyright.PENANAEjVIF3JbBb
"Definitely." He answered. "You are just getting caught in a mess of a cobweb."963Please respect copyright.PENANA3ST7ROh5qh
963Please respect copyright.PENANAkMJ1JjEdPF
"Why should I leave?"963Please respect copyright.PENANA19Qi7fTgLS
963Please respect copyright.PENANAqfqsQK4Oje
Then she was immediately met with the doctor's eyes. "Please, these are matters you won't understand." Honest eyes, it was almost as if he was pleading with her.963Please respect copyright.PENANAmzpG5ebYsg
963Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ0VCGPmYw
Whatever business she had with Cinder, Pyrrha didn't like it. However, she did take Doctor Sauer's advice as he walked away from the duo in the street. With her attention focused on the road, she tried to hear out their conversation while she continued to leave them be. Between the clicking of her high-heels, she overhead their conversation.963Please respect copyright.PENANA3uXWWYhEXe
963Please respect copyright.PENANAukPgJxlf1C
"Why are you here? I know you wouldn't do anything without reason."963Please respect copyright.PENANAZnfDGDk54c
963Please respect copyright.PENANACfREKw4uPo
Cinder returned with a seductive reply. "I'm here to recruit you." She stated. "We could change man's place on Remnant forever and possibly, here."963Please respect copyright.PENANA77uhz9RUZz
963Please respect copyright.PENANAPkGo8oPVO2
Doctor Sauer's tone was very angry. "This is where I disagree..."963Please respect copyright.PENANAbbsjjHRuzy
963Please respect copyright.PENANAU82TBddi03
She didn't know how Cinder knew Doctor Sauer, even though he went missing nine years ago. Could it be that they knew one another beforehand? Before he ended up on Earth. How did she even get here in the first place? It was these thoughts which concerned Pyrrha the most about the doctor. They could possibly conspiring together, but how? Then the matter of the danger occurred to her. She mentioned about recruiting the doctor to work with her, but he mentioned something about a disagreement between Cinder and himself.963Please respect copyright.PENANA7Kds1PFxM6
963Please respect copyright.PENANAYkgvCYsv08
Some of Cinder's words echoed through her mind. "...I may drown this place in Grimm." The thought was terrifying, if she could bring the Grimm into a world where there was no auras or dust to protect the people of Earth from the soulless creatures. How could they defeat them?963Please respect copyright.PENANARinbTIlUwv

After Johnny Vastano didn't report to Conti, everything went to hell. The Military Police told Monte Durante and his fellow officers that they were to remain in the command post until further notice... and it pissed him off. Durante knew that rules were there for a reason, but sometimes he hated them for getting in the way. Now that the Military Police were looking into his disappearance and didn't want any of the company commanders to get in the way of their investigation, especially Captain Durante and Fox Company. It was duly noted by the command structure that he was known for not going by the books and often not following regulations within the US Army, but don't understand the use of not having a command structure in situations like this. He could possibly find Johnny faster than these MPs could do since they could possibly piss of the people living in Lorch and the last thing they needed was to fight a war against a civilian population, just like how the Germans had to put up against the French, Polish, and the Dutch.963Please respect copyright.PENANAQETXzaEUsk
963Please respect copyright.PENANANHPSeoZd3u
Sitting in his seat and looking at he map of Lorch and the surrounding area, Monte decided to bring a conversation. Then he looked to the youngest officer who led Baker Company. "Hey Bill, what do you plan to do after the war?" He asked. Ever since the Germans surrendered to the Soviets on one side and the Allies on the other, home was on everyone's mind. However, with Colonel Conti telling Monte and his fellow captains, it was difficult for anyone to not protest against the idea.963Please respect copyright.PENANAbZlnrWcBcr
963Please respect copyright.PENANAu8cApXfS09
Captain Edwards came to him with two mugs of coffee as he placed on mug on the table for Durante. Then he leaned back on the table full of maps of Lorch. "I don't know." The officer answered as he looked down into his caffeinated drink. "I think I'll stick around for the Army for a few years. "963Please respect copyright.PENANA3gXe51NRMK
963Please respect copyright.PENANA2eOMWAdSVn
"Guess you'll try to fulfill the family tradition?" Monte wondered.963Please respect copyright.PENANAQkthtXQyWM
963Please respect copyright.PENANAsmW6P67ldp
He took a sip of his coffee before he added. "Yeah, though I doubt I'll get to see the stuff like what we did at the Ardennes." Both men chuckled in the command room as the officers almost forgot about the radio operators who were at their stations. "I remember you asked me to take out those command trucks back at Espeler and loot all of their weapons; though, I didn't mind the infrared assault rifles you gave to me."963Please respect copyright.PENANAOViRoxxQSB
963Please respect copyright.PENANAryRwS4Wa98
"Those? You needed something to compensate for your cav, I obliged to do so."963Please respect copyright.PENANABJ8NJOMESZ
963Please respect copyright.PENANAbcVy81NOjv
Within their conversation, they almost forgot the third captain whose invaluable experience was almost forgot. "Yet, you boys decided that it was funny to steal those bazookas my men were using." Monte turned to his left to see the old man in his uniform sitting in the chair on the side of the room. "I should've hanged both of you by the balls for that stupid stunt." Then his beady eyes were aimed at CO of Fox Company. "I'm looking at you Durante."963Please respect copyright.PENANAgIBDnYjuT2
963Please respect copyright.PENANAbkQFqezrXZ
Then the captain shrugged his shoulders at the memory. "Well, it's not my fault that my men needed it more than you did." Monte replied. "You refused our request for anti-tank rockets every time." Derby muttered to himself in his southern ways.963Please respect copyright.PENANAx8j2DrlzaQ
963Please respect copyright.PENANA7exgnopYVH
The memories of himself arguing with Kurt had left a bad attitude for quite some time after the German war machine extended themselves from the frontlines. He couldn't blame the old man, he was a grizzled veteran from the Great War. The problem was, this wasn't the Great War. No one fought in trenches, tanks were quite common, and Army officers didn't send their men to the meat grinder. That being said, Monte hated being reminded of the Ardennes. Plenty of his Rangers died trying to hold places like Stavelot and St. Vith. All trying to hold the line and stem the tide through smaller tactics against the German forces from bringing in the big bad kitties from kicking Bill's ass.963Please respect copyright.PENANA1kIkwemzsw
963Please respect copyright.PENANAjcuHYV5pax
A familiar figure stormed the room with his red beret as the company commanders turned their heads to see the British officer. "Lads!" He shouted. "Where we're you when Colonel Conti was killed?!"963Please respect copyright.PENANAVMmCHd55KH
963Please respect copyright.PENANAQaDivXUB5g
Monte rose from his seat and recognized him. "Major Blackmore, what happened?!"963Please respect copyright.PENANAJzGvB2gDf5
963Please respect copyright.PENANAc8UBtpfJ65
"We found Colonel Conti and his staff killed on the side of the road before I returned back." Came his answer. "Why weren't you all with him?"963Please respect copyright.PENANAG8YaIPHOGn
963Please respect copyright.PENANApiFiVYTVa5
"The MPs were investigating and told us to back off." Commented Edwards.963Please respect copyright.PENANAwvrKwy25U8
963Please respect copyright.PENANAH4jEOvkInU
"I wasn't told of any military police units."963Please respect copyright.PENANARBfdMdWeYL
963Please respect copyright.PENANAWdGRtdwiRG
Then two more people entered the room, but this man was Blackmore's superior. Nearly in the same age-range as Kurt Derby were it not for his eyepatch on his left eye. The second man joining him was easily recognized since Monte knew he fought with him at Lorch, Captain Argall.963Please respect copyright.PENANAsvmY2U3sv6
963Please respect copyright.PENANAd1YgIZxggs
However, everyone's attention was trained on the British colonel in his officer's cap. "Major Blackmore, I think that's enough." He stated. "Everyone I am Colonel Strudwick, I serve the OSS and I've been in this section far too long to know that someone... has infiltrated this town. Someone who wants something of importance or someone by that matter." It was immediately noted that Colonel Blackmore was using a cane as he leaned on it for support. "I believe it is safe to assume that-"963Please respect copyright.PENANAja9fFBr58R
963Please respect copyright.PENANAV47wb4TjbU
It was to their surprise that someone had penetrated this deep from the entrance of the mansion the command post was located. This time, Durante recognized the red-head girl who stopped at the doorway. "Doctor Sauer is in danger!" Pyrrha stated. Her mouth opened, but suddenly an MP ran up behind her and wrapped his arms around her mouth.963Please respect copyright.PENANADzGnSZEEU6
963Please respect copyright.PENANAapduTLZ9fY
Shocked by the action, Durante stepped forward. "What the hell are you doing?!" He demanded.963Please respect copyright.PENANAz4EfQIznur
963Please respect copyright.PENANAX8NJ0tn6Ux
The MP was trying keep a grip on Pyrrha before she kicked him in the foot with her high-heels, but this time she smashed the back of her head into her assailant. The officers stepped forward, but the MPs helmet flew off as they all stopped in their tracks. The sight was very noticeable as Durante couldn't comprehend the fact that the MP who was struggling to handle the girl had wolf ears.963Please respect copyright.PENANAtPY7k3giCR
963Please respect copyright.PENANA7jPI0HD6rn
Before the officers proceeded to pry his arms off of her, the disguised MP reached down for his holster. Suddenly, the captain of Fox Company saw the British colonel reach for his sidearm faster. The revolver discharged a shot as the man with the wolf ears became the weapon's victim with his hands loosening his grip on Pyrrha.963Please respect copyright.PENANAtqy7zHdMRr
963Please respect copyright.PENANAMKz92xGDZz
Durante came forward to see to the need of the girl, but she raised her head and gestured him of little need for his assistance. Turning to the rest of the room, it was like the hole place froze.963Please respect copyright.PENANAxKMoNKY50c
963Please respect copyright.PENANA3mrdQ7xtUe
Immediately, the present caught up to everyone. "Alright lads." Colonel Strudwick began before turning to the radio operators and the officers. "Its clear that we need to alert everyone." His cold gaze was aimed at the radio operators. "You there, organize everyone in Lorch to investigate all of the MPs that are present." Then he added more orders to the rest of the officers. "Major Blackmore, disperse the lads to search the town and find the infiltrators."963Please respect copyright.PENANADzlhNYFfzN
963Please respect copyright.PENANATZWsX1WKGw
The major nodded his head. "I'll leave a detachment to secure the CP." He acknowledged before leaving the room.963Please respect copyright.PENANAXb1ciGidB8
963Please respect copyright.PENANAZJqgYexz7I
"Captain Argall, you stay with me. I'm old."963Please respect copyright.PENANA4pxLBX6Q9B
963Please respect copyright.PENANAlwIexjjfAi
Then Durante stepped over to bring himself to the colonel. "I guess... we'll get our respective companies together."963Please respect copyright.PENANAc2rU6ZYYTX
963Please respect copyright.PENANAmnOvni4QlD
Strudwick turned around as he brought Durante over to the table full of maps covering Lorch. "Yes, I need all of you to create an encirclement around the town and comb from the outside to the inside." He suggested. "All of you come here." Soon Edwards and Derby came over to see his idea. "Captains, I'll inform Major Blackmore to move men from the west." His finger was aimed at Derby. "You're going to sweep in from the north and block their route to the vineyards."963Please respect copyright.PENANAHKidWebzZJ
963Please respect copyright.PENANALOhKF8fQXn
Derby nodded. "I'll get my boys to scorch some of those places."963Please respect copyright.PENANAW7cI133Xso
963Please respect copyright.PENANAKUGKwDAsP9
The next was Durante. "You will come in from the south and deny them access to the castle."963Please respect copyright.PENANASbPVQlqVtX
963Please respect copyright.PENANAUQ7eQ1C1Hl
Monte Durante acknowledge him. "Got it, hit'em hard."963Please respect copyright.PENANArWQ1tO0Mcg
963Please respect copyright.PENANArD0Fk3IXW8
Then the last order of business was brought to Edwards. "Lad, I'm going to need you to act as a net for us. You will be blocking the infiltrators from any escape to the east. Kill them if you must, but try to obtain any prisoners."963Please respect copyright.PENANAVqxu6adh9g
963Please respect copyright.PENANA9zhYGhe6Bm
Bill was professional to his duty. "Understood sir. They won't go through Baker Company."963Please respect copyright.PENANAmGDsS5iiy8
963Please respect copyright.PENANA2IbT3Hg4Ba
"After reading all of your profiles, I'm sure you all are going to get this done easily."963Please respect copyright.PENANA64HeAdVCWr
963Please respect copyright.PENANAhae1EzIzOa
All of the American officers stared at him.963Please respect copyright.PENANA8JLV9m1PiF
963Please respect copyright.PENANA2QLvhAY3Yu
Colonel Strudwick sighed. "I work for the OSS, I'm sure you all should know that." Sounds of gunfire were heard outside as he rushed them. "Come lads, get to work! God isn't giving us much time to work with."963Please respect copyright.PENANAYZOjgs5Cqt
963Please respect copyright.PENANAIkqLgf0Q2U
The COs of Baker, Dog, and Fox Company stormed out of the room as the fighting grew louder.963Please respect copyright.PENANALVAv5K0p2T
963Please respect copyright.PENANAvMUROpxKgr
However, Durante stopped to see the girl. "Miss, you shouldn't be here."963Please respect copyright.PENANAaTGeqMfXvX
963Please respect copyright.PENANACj0DV2Deba
Then Strudwick made his comment. "Captain Durante, she's important-so she stays here."963Please respect copyright.PENANAd3kiyNatOy
963Please respect copyright.PENANAxmPTeXwfOb
"Got it." Replied Monte before turning to Pyrrha standing in the room. "Alright miss, stick with them they're the good sort." Then he ran through the hallways as he pulled out his sidearm.963Please respect copyright.PENANA4OIwNvloSf
- - -
They were not far from Lorch. Rather, they were watching over it and Doctor Sauer hated moments when he had to meet Cinder like this. "I take you proceeded with Salem's plan?" He asked her. Both individuals were sitting on a bench as a tree acted as their shade.963Please respect copyright.PENANAt2cE1Cnx0H
963Please respect copyright.PENANAL8lFlY1d6H
Cinder watched the fighting from afar. "Yes. I have managed to get Ozpin out of the way." She stated as if she was amused by the memory. "He tried to stop the coming chaos which I shall bring."963Please respect copyright.PENANAU15ZgU7NUy
963Please respect copyright.PENANAJwL1EcFqgu
Doctor Sauer sighed. "It is a pity that you do not know Ozpin like I do. He has his ways to fight you and Salem indirectly." A great explosion erupted in the town as the volume of gunfire increased.963Please respect copyright.PENANAt02UtsJEVm
963Please respect copyright.PENANAmmJFgaz8Ud
"You know, she plans to invades this place-Earth these people call it. After Remnant falls, there will be nothing to stop her."963Please respect copyright.PENANAdRszK9zuVx
963Please respect copyright.PENANAYBPfkEBGm6
"I disagree, she underestimates how humans can fight back."963Please respect copyright.PENANAdm17gGieqp
963Please respect copyright.PENANAnc0CgHBVvj
Cinder giggled in delight. "How can humans try to fight the darkness? They know little of the ocean she brings."963Please respect copyright.PENANAne2Poigfxx
963Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8B5YTjzd7
"Sometimes, they often find the courage to fight even when the odds are against them." He argued. "Especially when it feels like there is no hope."963Please respect copyright.PENANAnkfIrTTOXZ
963Please respect copyright.PENANAha0fedw7Je
"Even though it is all in vain?"963Please respect copyright.PENANAzdVg0CKxsA
963Please respect copyright.PENANAkK4A5vWsCL
"Sometimes. However, I have heard stories of simple men simply following orders until they suddenly realize that they themselves have become great."963Please respect copyright.PENANABpIHHAFQmL
963Please respect copyright.PENANAXrpkXUnC7b
A question occurred to her. "May I ask you a question?"963Please respect copyright.PENANA9FaWQbcHFr
963Please respect copyright.PENANA3yKVnrykfj
"Of course." He answered, both of their gazes aimed at the fighting in the town. "My answer depends on it."963Please respect copyright.PENANAprTUw0222C
963Please respect copyright.PENANATi6PhNaXxA
"Do you plan to return to Remnant, to meet your friends and family before she takes it away?"963Please respect copyright.PENANAenbXFLVrfs
963Please respect copyright.PENANASmk80xe9eG
Doctor Sauer paused for a moment. "Cinder, you know your mother and I will fight once more and my dedication to protecting man from her monsters has already been decided. So expect my return home."963Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0ujvAsq6v
963Please respect copyright.PENANA2IFc1n3qEA
Cinder stopped watching the fighting before turning her sights on the man sitting beside her. "Father, I missed you." It was a long time since she last done this, but she gave her father a hug. "It is a pity that you and her have made your battle lines."963Please respect copyright.PENANAFEJABsDpZv
963Please respect copyright.PENANAVCLO6esStG
The doctor returned the heart-warming gesture, his hand pressed on her arms while he kissed her silky hair. "I know, I know." His ears perked up when the sounds of engines were close and the shouting of men were nearby.963Please respect copyright.PENANAtnkivkSl8V
963Please respect copyright.PENANAdKp5rQ5GOd
"I don't want to leave you."963Please respect copyright.PENANAR0PlFcPYtx
963Please respect copyright.PENANAgzjPZlIJDe
Sauer closed his gaze before he felt a teardrop drip from the crevice off his eyes. "But you must." He squeezed Cinder close before he released her out of his arms. "Now go." Immediately, he reached down into his pockets for a handkerchief before he watched his daughter rise from her seat and walk away from him without a glance towards him.963Please respect copyright.PENANAUoGApSRINa
963Please respect copyright.PENANANIxTqMfTxO
"Goodbye father."963Please respect copyright.PENANAhMVZr7AMXH
963Please respect copyright.PENANATHD53EmpCj
After clearing his face from his tears, the man waited as he regained his composure while the sight of his daughter grew smaller and smaller as she continued the distance. "Goodbye, Cinder." The voices of men were close by. "T'is is the burden for us monsters."963Please respect copyright.PENANAFDDalWOO4M
