Bustling patrons and loud music created the ambiance for the well know Shattered lounge in the heart of Ramal, the capital of Vacuo. Travelers from all around Remnant would come to experience the finest of what the kingdom had to offer, drink, food, art, music, and for some the women.

The blonde stowaway was here for none of these reasons, this was his home, the lounge that had taken him in as it’s watchful protector after the fall of his former self. A seemingly new person was inside the shell of Sun Wukong, yet despite his seemingly brooding nature, not much had changed to be honest. 

Nevertheless, the monkey faunus stood there in the back corner of the upper deck of the lounge, back pressed against the wall as he overlooked the entire floor plan from his post. Arms cross over his muscular chest as he waited for something, anything at all to happen. Not only was he the watchful protector of Shattered , but was also the go to individual when someone needed any sort of information on what went on in the cities walls, no one was more knowledgeable about it’s streets than he was. 

“What, are you tellin’ me there’s another damn alter? ... Well, at least you’re not a Saberface...”

Ruby’s disappearance years ago had left a void in the remnants of Team RWBY.  Blake, who’d had her happiness ripped from her in the Fall of Beacon and the subsequent time afterward, felt it keenly.  Still she was hunted--by Adam, who had made good on his promise to destroy everything she’d loved, and by Salem’s forces, who sought and tortured anyone who once knew the silver-eyed huntress for her whereabouts.  For everyone knew of Salem now--there were only a few pockets of resistance left, led by the survivors of the four kingdoms’ destruction.

Blake wasn’t one of them, though.  She knew that if she stayed in one place for too long, she’d be found.  Whether she was the only one left of RWBY, she didn’t know--she’d never heard from her teammates again after that first domino fell.  Nor her friends.  She was alone, and she would stay that way, for the safety of all.

“Let’s see.. Who do I have for today.. Wow only one?” He said flipping threw papers. “Ruby? You mean..” he glanced up and sure enough. There she was. He’s heard of her but to just have her in his session today was odd.
