Would THEY kill a maiden if she acted unreasonably to keep the secret? I mean, if they do, the power would just go to one of them or someone random.

___ The "MY Dust" expression is canon, now I can use it without guilt in fanfiction.

Good question. I feel like if they refused protection, they wouldn't get a choice and you would have people like Qrow tailing them in the shadows.

If you abused your power... I could see them maybe taking you down. I don't know about killing at this point. Ironwood I definitely could see killing. But I feel like they'd go with Isolate before killing. Assuming they could isolate.

But if someone like Cinder has it and cannot be stopped... I  Could see elimination as an option. I wasn't precisely thinking about the maiden turning out evil, more like wanting to openly use her powers to help people like the original madens.

Though Qrow did say sometimes the people that hunted the maidens in hope to get their power succeeded. .. so I would think an evil maiden must have happened in the past.
