As clichéd as this sounds, if any of those predictions come true, I do believe Mercury’s redemption will be him sacrificing himself protecting Emerald. After Cinder’s death, Emerald will scream out at Ruby that she is a murderer. Ruby will say nothing but look at Emerald with pity. Emerald will reluctantly tell Team RWBY how to get to Salem’s castle and will call some sort of a truce, with Emerald telling Ruby, “after this, I never want to see you or your friends again.”

That is unless Emerald snags the lamp, which is the more likely prediction to come true.
