The Devil&#039;s Advocate WP wrote: Wow, that would work and actually make sense. I mean, it is clearly indicated that Amber's body was killed, but she was still in the stasis chamber. If Pyrrha's Aura was tied up with Amber's then it could be enough to jumpstart Amber's body since she wouldn't have been dead too long and the extra Aura may heal her. Similar to how in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy died for a few minutes after drowning thus prompting a new slayer to appear, Amber's temporary death passedon her Maiden powers (I am calling them that WC and you can't stop me!) yet she gets revived afterwards.

That would also not leave us feeling like we got cheated since that whole thing with Amber transferring to Pyrrha's body seemed to be hinting at a potential "two souls" problem confronting Pyrrha. Maybe that is why Pyrrha made that comment about destiny as perhaps she got a little voice in her head from Amber saying it would be alright. Since Pyrrha's Aura got broken, maybe that unlocked some part of Amber's Aura that had been transferred to her. It also goes well with my suggestion that Pyrrha did get some of the Maiden power and sets her up as a foil to Cinder.

Oh, and for all this talk about Ruby's silver eyes, keep in midn that the legend only mentions it affecting Grimm. There is no suggestion that it affects humans or other non-Grimm. When you think about it, the "silver" eyes syncs up with her being Red Riding Hood since silver is typically said to be the weakness for werewolves. Sure, she froze a dragon, but it still matches her character inspiration. At any rate, since it seems to be something that specifically hurts Grimm, we can presume Cinder is still out and about. I imagine she just bugged out when Ruby literally stopped a dragon in its tracks.

I agree that Cinder is still at large. Afterall, Qrow made no indication that she was also frozen. And had she been detained, I think Qrow would have made mention of this. However, at the same time, it makes little sense that Cinder would kill a defeated Pyrrha, but would let an unconcious Ruby, who just froze a dragon, walk away. Ultimately, I believe that is because Cinder was unable to do so at the time.

Which leads me to consider a few posibilities.

1) The Silver eyes actually have more to them than freezing Grimm. Thus, was able to harm Cinder, or blow her away.

2) Ruby was able to fight after the flash but it is blacked out of her memory (some sort of subconcious awakened state).

3) Cinder was forced to retreat because the flash affected the Grimm bug that was infused into the glove, and then infused into her body. Whether it be the creature was frozen inside, or overwhelmed with fear.

4) Ruby was rescued by Qrow before Cinder could consider finishing her off.
