It is incredibly hard to make out however some letters and lengths of words can be made out. The text is the same length and the same number of words (with appropriately sized words) as the Hugin and Munin poem of norse mythology.

Hugin and Munin fly each day over the spacious earth.

I fear for Hugin, that he come not back, yet more anxious am I for Munin.

The poem is about two ravens that belong to Odin and how they fly over the world gathering information for him. Their names translate to Thought and Desire respectively.

It leads me to believe that the two ravens of Odin (maybe Qrow and Raven being the "ravens" of Ozpin) are on a mission to gather information pertaining to enemy movements. This means that they likely infiltrated either Cinder's faction directly or the White Fang. There is no way of knowing for sure which one correlates to which raven of Odin, or how far either of them have managed to get in infiltrating the enemy's ranks, or what they have had to either do or give up in regards to completeing their mission. This mission may have started 17 years ago when Raven (if she is Yang's mother) left her family, meaning that Cinder would not be the main player in the game and that she is working for someone probably closer to any one of the professor's ages, namely Ironwood, being one of the older characters aside from Ozpin himself.
