Hello everyone I totally have not gotten caught up playing the Mass Effect Trilogy. I don't know what you're talking about.

Anyway, I recently had the plot come to me and decided to write something down before I got distracted again.

Also the pairings, the options are either Salem, or Sienna Khan. That's it.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything and blah blah blah.

Chapter 2: The Die is Cast

As Salem's generals were mocking Cinder for her defeat Salem walked in.

"And just how did Cinder fail?" asked Salem, "She became our new Fall Maiden, she destroyed Vale's CCT, and she killed Ozpin."

"Yet she failed against some random warrior," said Watts.

Salem smirked, "So in other words you are saying I am weak?"

Watts's eyes widened, "No I'm not saying that at all, I'm just saying that Cinder…"

"Is completely justified in losing to someone who rivals even me in power," Salem Interrupted.

Everyone's eyes widened.

"Dovahkiin was an old friend of mine, we ere kindred spirits, both cursed with Immortality, but when it came to my ancient battle with Ozma, he showed up at the wrong time. He only saw me standing over Ozma's corpse, and the bodies of my Children," said Salem as a tear went down her eye for a moment.

"I see," said Hazel, "That would look bad."

"Why didn't you warn us about him?" asked Emerald angrily.

"Because I didn't think he would be relevant, you see after our battle he went into solitude, up until his confrontation with Cinder, he had never been seen nor heard from. The only hint I had to his location was some kind of village where the Grimm did not go. Since he wasn't doing anything I left him alone. Partly because he wasn't actively opposing me, and partly in respect for our friendship."

"However, on to business, with Dovahkiin now in play Cinder must remain by my side for the time being, Tyrian you must seek out the Spring Maiden, Watts, I need you to meet our contact in Mistral, and Hazel, I need you to arrange a meeting with the White Fang Leader Sienna Khan. Adam has been Agreeable, hopefully she will as well."

Cinder whispered something into Emerald's ear. "Cinder wants to know what about the Silver Eyed Girl?" asked Emerald.

"Yes that would be a problem, especially with Dovahkiin around, Tyrian the Spring Maiden can wait bring me the one called Ruby Rose alive."

Tyrian looked nervous for a moment, "As much as I love serving you milady, what if this "Dovahkiin" shows up?" he asked.

"That is why I will be sending you back up."

Tyrian laughed at that.

(The Road to Mistral)

Raven was talking to Qrow, "And you should be careful about who you stalk I hear you've been stalking a certain Dragonborn."

"How do you know about that?" asked Qrow.

"Because I told her," said a voice.

Qrow turned and sure enough the warrior from Beacon was literally at the next table with a drink of his own.

"Well my work is done," said Raven as she made a portal out.

Qrow sighed and walked over to Dovahkiin's table.

"I don't like being followed," said Dovahkiin.

"If it makes you feel any better, and less wary I might add, you're merely a secondary objective for me, I'm keeping an eye on someone else, whom you also seem to be keeping an eye on apparently," said Qrow.

"You speak of the Silver-Eyed Hatchling," said Dovahkiin.

"She's my Niece," said Qrow, "I care for her, but also know that the enemy is likely gunning for her."

"So she is bait to draw out Salem, I'd say I don't approve, but I'm doing the same thing so that would make me a hypocrite, so what do you see we work together for now," said Dovahkiin holding out his glass.

Qrow toasted him, "To our new alliance I guess."

(Elsewhere)

Salem walked to a shrine and Molag Bal appeared, "Is there something you need?" he asked.

"Datan has finally come out of hiding," said Salem, "I need you to send someone to aid Tyrian in his mission as Datan is likely to interfere."

"Ah yes, I even have someone in mind, someone who had been looking forward to settling a score with Datan."

"If I may ask, what does Datan being here mean exactly?" Salem asked.

Molag Bal cackled, "I'll tell you what it means!" he said, "The Die is cast all of the pieces are in place, and now the true battle is about to approach."

Okay I'm not gonna lie, I finished the entirety of the Mass Effect Trilogy before evening writing a majority of this chapter and finishing it lol. And now I have another fic idea in my head. DAMN! YOU! BRAIN!

Also I saw Gen:Lock, made a good first impression so far. Also Been watching Zero Period Productions' playthrough of Rigmor of Cyrodil. Ironically one of the villains of that is also Molag Bal.

Fucking Molag Bal am I right? Lol.

It's always Molag Bal. If you ever a mod maker and need Daedra Villain? Use Molag Bal, everyone loves to use Molag Bal lol. With a few exceptions.

Anyway if you have any comments, questions, concerns, suggestions, constructive criticism, or you just wanna say hi, please leave a review, it really does help out a lot.
