The Nude Maiden

In an undisclosed location sits a massive black citadel now abandoned or so you would believe for only a select few know that within this ancient ruin lies the Immortal Queen of the Grimm Salem; currently training her newest apprentice into becoming one of the worthy vessels for the power of the "Four Seasonal Maidens", Cinder Fall and while she in her own right was talented Salem couldn't help but notice for the past couple of weeks her young Maiden in training's latest choice in clothing or lack thereof.

Location: Cinder's Room

Salem: Cinder?

Cinder: Yes, what is it, My Queen?

Salem: I like to think of my many centuries alive have made me into a very patient and forgiving individual so you can imagine why I've held my tongue on asking you about this new 'fetish' you've been practicing for the last few weeks yes?

Salem: I'm not angry and I won't hold this against you I simply wish to hear your reasoning for why you have done this?

Cinder: It's very simple My Queen since my training's progression into becoming a Maiden I've concluded that if I am to be a truly worthy vessel of the power, I must shred all doubts I may have and ensure that my body is without limitations.

Salem: …

The Queen of Grimm looks at her with one eyebrow raised while trying very hard to keep a poker face waiting for what she'll say next.

Cinder: With that in mind I see clothes as nothing but a hindrance that will impede my progress down the line so I've decided to do away with them. As of right now aside from wearing shoes and a few other minor accessories, for the sake of power I Cinder Fall shall walk the path as a nudist to realize my destiny!

With her disciple's proclamation, Salem couldn't help but sigh and pinch the bridge of her nose and asked herself ("What in the Brothers of Grimm are girls her age getting up to?")

She soon shook her head and looked up to see her soon-to-be Maiden had eyes filled with determination and a smile oozing with confidence.

Salem: What if you get cold?

Cinder: My aura can protect me from the cold plus my semblance can control heat.

Salem: Where will you keep your weapons and your scroll?

Cinder: I can carry my things in a bag and take it with me wherever I go and when the time comes, I need to prepare to go into combat I can wear a utility belt to holster my blades, it also comes with pouches to hold my dust, glass, and hold my scroll.

Salem: And how do you suppose people will react to you when they see you like that? Won't you be arrested for indecent exposure?

Cinder: They passed a law across Remnant not too long ago which allows for people to be naked so long as they have the proper clearance for it.

Cinder walks over to her bag, pulls out a small card, and shows it to Salem.

Salem: …When and how did you get this?

Cinder: I had Watts contact Lionheart and had him procure the legal documentation plus since he is also serving as your mole, I also took the initiative to have myself signed in as a student of Haven Academy to act as camouflage for when it is time to enact our plan for the Vytal Festival to obtain the relic.

This was the first time the Immortal Queen Salem was left dumbfounded she couldn't believe that this girl went so far out of her way to make sure she was a bonified nudist but also have the foresight to plan for the future when they could get their hands on the relic under Beacon. For just a brief moment she allowed her face to produce a genuine smile like a mother watching her little girl blossom into a woman albeit a completely naked one.

Salem: Well, it would seem whatever epiphany you had seems to have strengthened your dedication to becoming a Maiden. Very well then if that is the case you have my full support dear child continue on this new path that you've undertaken; who knows this could prove to be useful.

Cinder: Thank you for your understanding My Queen I won't let you down!

Cinder: I suppose I should begin looking into finding some pawns that will be of use in capturing the Fall Maiden.

Salem: Fret not my dear for aside from learning the truth behind your nudity I also came to bring you a list that Watts has compiled of individuals who may prove to be of some use to you and the success of your mission.

Cinder: Much apricated My Queen.

Salem: With that out of the way now why don't you come with me I have a few other things that I'll need to impart to you my dear Cinder. My Dear Nude Maiden.
