I can't quite tell why it was there. I'm starting to think that Raven was channeling and going to appear after sensing the danger/transfer, but Qrow made it there first and she stopped. Whether it's because both are guardians of the maidens and she knew he could handle it and/or they both are guarding the maiden but for different reasons/don't get along (different factions) or she just wanted to stop Cinder from attaining the power. Or, the portal was related to Qrow. Would make sense that they have similar looking abilities. Too little information to go in. But I personally don't think Raven was involved.

On Topic:

I feel like we're going to get a horrible Cliff Hanger. Since Fall was the origional cliff hanger ending planned for Volume 2, it only means they are shifting the ending just slightly to the right. Which means it'll end at a point that would be during what may have been mid season 3.

Thus, I feel like we'll get an ending that's either the outbreak of Cinder's plan, or at a point in the battle that suggests even if the heroes salvage a victory, it comes at a cost.

So, the leading up events will probably be Ruby trying to clear Yang, one more full tourney match between Pyrrha and Sun/Penny. And then a final match that's interrupted by Cinder's plot.

Does anyone think we will actually see the end of the battle against Grimm/Cinder with the volume end?
