Back at Beacon Academy, Velvet Scarlatina didn't feel comfortable being with lots of people.

  When she first entered Beacon, she was  afraid of what people would say about her faunus heritage. She even feared that she might have to go through trainings alone.

  Then, she had her supportive team. She had a great leader like Coco Adel. She had Blake Belladonna, who she just found out, is also a faunus. She had Yatsuhashi, who looks out for her anytime. Most of all, she was loved.

  Until today...

As she was recovering from the dizziness that swept over her, She tried to focus her vision and she saw that she is in a busy street filled with people. Rich and poor. Suddenly, she was overwhelmed by the sight of it.

'Till a familiar voice called out to her.

"Velvet. Over here."

No. It can't be. "Yatsu?" She called out.

And there she saw him. Yatsuhashi Daichi with his familiar green tunic and large orange sword. Just the sight of him unharmed made Velvet broke down crying.

" Hey, it's okay. I've got you." He reassured her as he wiped her tears away.

"Oh. What have I done? I-I wasn't be able to help you and Coco fight back against the strange white-cloaked men until I was knocked out." She sobbed. "I'm a failure." She added  with a sigh.

"I wouldn't allow my strong Velvet to call herself a failure." said Yatsuhashi, his tone firm.

"What are we supposed to do?" asked Velvet.

"We need to know where we are in the first place. And I'm going to need your help." He added.

"We can asked the locals." Velvet suggested.

Good idea Scarlatina.

-------------------------------------

"Excuse me, may I know which part of town are we in ?" Velvet asked one of the locals.

"In King's Landing. The capital of Westeros." The locals answered. "Be sure to pay respect to the gods in the Great Sept of Baelor." Others may reply. "Beware of the filthy muggers at the Flea Bottom."

"Well, the people here are quite nice." said Yatsuhashi.

"Mhmm.." Velvet replied while munching on some pigeon pie, the capital's most iconic food.

They were strolling around King's Landing's markets. Here they bought some clothes to match the citizens' attire.

"In my honest opinion, you look way gorgeous in their attire than the rest of the citizens. Yatsuhashi commented. Velvet wore a thin brown linen dress with a shawl while Yatsuhashi changed into a red jacket and black pants.

Velvet felt her cheeks blush. "It's nothing. Brown is my favorite color. And I always liked silky cloaks." She replied. "Although you still look better with your green tunic." She added. "It's more..you."

Yatsuhashi rolled his eyes "C'mon. Let's go visit some more tourist spots.

-----------------------------------------

It is already nighttime and Velvet enjoyed the company of the stars. It made her calm. But as passed by an establishment, it seemed to shine brighter than the stars in the sky, with its white-bricked road and its dome-like structure. Velvet noticed that one of the window's mosaic design is what looks like an seven-pointed star with a red gem in the middle.

"This must be what the locals are talking about, The Great Sept of Baelor." said Velvet.

"For religious rituals and stuff like that, yeah." Yatsuhashi replied. "It's such a beautiful sight." He added silently.

Suddenly, Velvet stopped walking causing Yatsuhashi to bump her. "Velvet, what is it?" "What's wrong?" He asked.

But Velvet could not answer his question. Because the sight in front of her made her heart contract and her nerves paralyzed.

A group of white- cloaked, armored men marching towards their direction. All armed with pointy spears and swords.

"You, over there," One of them called out pointing to Yatsuhashi. "Civilians aren't allowed in the Great Sept during late hours of curfew," "You must leave at once." He added firmly.

"I'm sorry Sir. But we are lost." Velvet replied and tried to look bewildered.

"Ugh. Petty civilians with their petty excuses." said another guard. "Take them to the king for trial."

"No, you don't understand, we can't find-" Velvet tried to answer back. But the guard cut her off and grabbed her bunny ear. Hard. Velvet screamed in pain while Yatsuhashi held his sword , ready to attack. "Defy us and you will have your throat silt." He spoke with such menace that made Velvet shiver. The guard then pushed her to the ground. "DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" He said enunciating each word.

Velvet couldn't help but sobbed uncontrollably.

"Leave her alone." Yatsuhashi snarled. He already had his large sword drawn and pointed at the man's throat at sword point. "Or taste the wrath of my blade !!!"

The rest of the guards had already had their swords drawn and are already charging towards Yatsuhashi.

But Yatsuhashi, having super strength as his advantage was able to dodge their attacks and knocked out a lot of guards. Velvet couldn't do anything but watch as the fight unfolds.

Blade after blade, the plaza filled with blood yet the dance is not over for them. Yatsuhashi was so busy in fighting he didn't notice another guard behind him. The guard kicked him and his comrades seize hold of him. He tried to break free but ended up struggling with the fierce hold of the guards.

"You think a large sword will earn you victory, big man?," He taunted. "Well, it won't save you now." He grabbed Yatsuhashi's sword. "I will make sure you will die slicing your head with your own blade." He said as he positioned the blade in his neck.

Velvet couldn't take it any longer. She activated her Semblance of Mimicry and produced a deadly-looking Crescent Rose.

The guards seemed surprised by a small and shy girl like her wielding a deadly looking scythe.

Velvet swung her scythe and attacked the guards all at a same time by knocking them out with her added speed. Just like Ruby Rose. Soon, the guards were all thrown on the ground.

Then, she produced Myrtenaster, a sword with different types of dust to produce different effects. Weiss Schnee's choice of weapon.

She froze the remaining guards on ice and left them there. Then she advanced on the guard holding Yatsuhashi. The guard expression told her that he was intimidated.

"Let him go, or else..." She threatened as she held him at sword point. But the man simply laughed. "Little girl, how foolish you are. Can't you see we're showing disrespect to the gods, why don't you use your little brain for once." He cackled.

Velvet irritation turn to rage and is about to bring the blade down when she heard a voice.

" Ser Waymar , what took you so long in patrolling the areas." said a woman's voice. The woman has long and curly blonde hair and she wears a long red dress trimmed with gold details. For some reason, Velvet found this woman disturbing.

"Thank you Ser Waymar, you and your fellow Kingsguard soldiers can return to the Red Keep." said the woman, not knowing about the frozen soldiers.

Ser Waymar gave her a respecful bow and left without his patrol group. Then the woman turned to look at Velvet and Yatsuhashi. "You two, come with me," "We have a lot to discuss."

"Who are you?" Velvet asked.

The woman paused for a moment, as if she was thinking about it.

"Cersei. But you will address me as Queen Cersei." She replied coldly and started to walk away with Velvet and Yatsuhashi following her.
