A Grimm portal opens on top of a mountainside overseeing Vale and Beacon. The Wyvern is flying over Beacon, clearly injured from its fight with Sol Invictus. A humanoid Grimm with a birdlike face/mask wearing dark robes and a wide brimmed hat stands on the mountainside with their arms crossed.

The Grimm gives an affirmative growl before jumping down the mountainside and quickly darts towards Beacon Academy. The Herrscher summons a portal that he walks into.

Port: That's it! Everybody on board! This is a mandatory evacuation!
