UPDATE 10.2: New Muses
Underneath Shade Academy... Headmaster Theodore Dhu'l-Khalasa would open up an old door leading downwards into the deeper recesses of the Academy. "It's surprisin' enough how long you've been keepin' this a secret, Theo." Qrow said as the Headmaster looked back at him. "Yes, My family had to keep this as a secret... for generations only we were allowed to enter these catacombs for some reason."
"Yet, I'm surprised the blood of the Antiquitous (Ancient Humans of Remnant) lay with within you.......I suppose your family does have a connection to Shade." Ozpin who spoke through Oscar said. "Indeed, at first I didn't want to believe it myself, but then I did. But seeing what I saw here.. would be nothing more but amiss to what other ancient secrets Vacuo could be hiding....." Theodore said with the trio entering an underground oasis grotto...
"An Oasis?!" Both Qrow and Ozpin said in unison.. as Theodore would continue walking with the two following behind. As he stopped at what seemed to be a massive Lotus Flower...
"Huh...? That's it? That's the secret weapon that the God of Darkness talked about? What a joke...." Qrow scoffed, while Theodore shot a glare at him..."It's not a joke.. unless if you look closely." He said with Qrow rolling his eyes. "Yeah, look closely. As if thats ever gonna-"
"Wait. I sense....no. Impossible. An Antiquitous?! " Ozpin said as the Lotus flower began to open up with a human being inside of it as she took her first breath of air... in ages....and properly clothed...
Leaving Qrow shocked and his jaw dropping while Theodore had a prideful smirk.
OST: The Greatest Genius of Vacuo
"Ahhhh.. it has been too long since I have tasted the fresh oxygen of Vacuo!" She spoke, with a sense of eloquence as she turned to face Theodore, Oscar/Ozpin, and Qrow. Grabbing her cane as she walked out from her nest.
"Now then...."
"How long have I been away. For Vacuo's Greatest Genius has returned!!!"
VACUO'S GREATEST GENIUS- MARID!!!
_____________________________________________________________ OST: The Beast of Furious Sorrow.
Amongst a blood moon night the Scions of Salem were marching through the old ruins of an Ancient Castle that Salem believed a great power source was there for her plans... something else was watching.
As thieves who walk into the Lord's domain They trespass and believe that they are within safety When they clearly are not...
Finally one of them finds a leech like creature that is floating as they ignore it... Yet the Lord's own servants.. watch with bated breath Hungering for the essence of the trespassers All but waiting for their masters order.
Finally one of them, tries to attack the leech like creatures, but is taken down by them quickly as they horde and drain him of his essence. Before the second one meets their fate... with the same leeching. With the final survivor backing up to run away... but the Leeches would immediately block her path. With a rumbling growl the trespassers met their fate The survivor attempting to run away but it is too late For the Lord of this place judges the weight of their sins
Finally as she turned around she looked up to see a large figure basking in the blood moonlight.... spreading it's wings as the leeches flew to it.. offering the drained energy in return.
For even should they survive... They cannot drive out the lord who thrives here.
THE BEAST OF FURIOUS SORROW- Furio
