We see a man locked within a dungeon with the only sound he can hear is the sounds of drips. He is seen barely naked and looking beaten up and have shown to have stab wounds at some parts of his body. He sat on the floor starving and thirsty as he is looking down on the floor in complete silence.

Suddenly there was a door open and two footsteps echo throughout the dungeon as the steps get closer and closer until it reaxh to his cell. The man looks up at the two guards as they open his cell and we then see him being dragged across the dungeon by two guards.

They soon leave the dungeon and soon after we see him being dragged across a long hallway that seems like he is within a castle or palaces judging by the mattress, paintings and statue is place around.

Soon they arrive at two large doors as the twin doors open and he was dragged inside. The two guards tosses him in the middle as he hit thr ground. He let out some coughs while he slowly gets up on his knees and we finally get to see his face.

He looks up and the man is actually Y/n who looks beaten up and extremely tired as he stared at The Emperor of the empire along with his prime ministers as they all look at him.

What makes Y/n surprise a bit is that the Emperor is nothing but a child which made him question who made this child the Emperor of the empire.

The Emperor: Tell me, who are you?

Y/n just glare at him, not saying anything which one of the prime minister snap his finger and one of the guards came over and wip him from behind but disbite that he doesn't show any pain and stays quiet.

The Emperor: You dare not to speak to me? Do you know who I am, I am The Emperor of the Empire. Your looking at one of the most powerful person in all of the land!

This made Y/n let out a small chuckle which caught everyone's surprise as he never spoke ever since he was taking here.

Y/n: Emperor you say? Your no Emperor......your a brat.

This shocked everyone that he just insulated The Emperor and so he was wipped three times at the back which vost him to groan in pain but stood tall.

The Emperor: How dare you insulat me assassin. You should know that I can just have my guards to give you even more punishment for insulting me.

Y/n: It will not change anything. My will is strong.

It made the Emperor mad and that's when one of the prime minister step foward.

Honest: If you were just a normal assassin then we should have killed you but.......you have something that we wanted.

Y/n: What can I have that you want me alive?

Honest: (smirk) We heard stories about a ancient relic that holds the power to control anyones will. They called it "The Apple of Eden."

Y/n: I don't know nothing about it.

Honest: (smirk) Is that so? One of your assassin buddies told us about it. In fact, it was the reason you were captured and ended up here. They waited in the shadows and when the time is right they drugged you and bring you to us.

Then he remembered what happened. He was fighting the knights and after all were taking out mysterious figures ambush him. He tried to fight back but they were quick and soon he felt something sharp and soon he blacked out.

Y/n: Why do you want it?

Honest: (smirk) To control the people of course. With that type of power it will make our lives even more better. Now tell us......where is it?

Y/n: I'll never tell you anything.

Honest: Hm shame. I believe we should get the information out of him, right sire?

The Emperor: I agree. Guards.

The guards grab him and drag him away so he can be tortured. He was wipped, drowned, stabbed, beaten, drugged, chained up, electrocute, burned and all those horrible things.

He show no yell or beg as he indoor the pain and never let his enemies break him. He was left to his cell after that as this happened each week as he was asking the same question only to be tortured and then left to his cell without any food or water.

(5 weeks later)

Two guards enter the dungeon and make theie way over to his cell so they can take him to The Emperor once again. Once there however they look at his cell and find his cell missing.

One guard open his cell and look around. They search around unaware that he is above the as he dropped down and quickly break their necks.

He steal their swords and peak his head out of the cell and make his way out of the dungeon. He climb up the steps and as soon he reach the door he was about to open but hear a guard at the other side.

Instead of opening it he knock on the door and then leaps up and stand on top of the lamp as the door open and the guard looks around. He make his way down the steps and once gone Y/n leaps back down and go through the door.

He slowly walk through the hallway as he peak around corners checking for guards and either the guards are not there or there are but move on, he slowly make his way through the hallways as he searches his way out.

He soon heard some voices ahead of him so he leaps up, climbs up the walls and soon grabs the chandelier as a group of guards turn a corner and walk by him. He waits for them to be guard and once they are gone he drops down and land on the floor with his feet.

He looks back seeing they are gone and he keeps going. It war long for the bells to go off meaning they found the dead bodies at his cell and now they are in high alert. He now makes a run for it. A group of guards on his right spotted him and they chases after him.

He keeps running and seeing a open window so he leaps out of the window all across the wall and soon he lands onto the wall. Then multiple of warriors charges towards him. He pulled out his twin swords and begin to dual them both.

He dual them as he cuts a few of them down and clashing their blades. He soon gets them off and climbs up at the edge of the wall and leaps off.

He calls and soon lands into the small forest as he make his way to the final wall in front of him. He keeps running while we cut to the guards at the gate as they were not ready. Soon Y/n burst out of the forest as he leaps over them and got through the gate and keeps running and into the capital.

The other knights catches up and they look around seeing a crowd of citizens everywhere. They decided to split up and find him and so they did. They ask the citizens about this assassin but none of the citizens have no idea. While that is going on we see Y/n stolen a cloak and use it to blend into the crowd of the citizens as he stay low until he manages to escape the capital and make his way back home.

(4 days later)

He was been walking for a long time. He stop to catch his breath. He make some hand build weapons so he can hunt his meal but unfortunately he couldn't catch anything large. He only catches some rabbits, birds and other small animals.

He still eat them and then continues his journey home. He make some stops in villages or towns as he tried his best to stay low as possible so the guards will not spot him. While on his journey he thinks about his clan and he couldn't believe they expose themselves to the empire and tell them about the Apple of Eden.

He was filled with rage as everything they believed in was burned and turn into ashes as they now became corrupt. He wishes to seek his revenge but for now he wishes to go back to the Night Raids as he continue on his journey. Along the way he gets attacked by wolves, bears, Bandits, monsters and other dangerous elements. He even gotten sick bit disbite all of that he doesn't give up.

His will was powerful. Normally a person would just give up and either brought in or take their own lives but he will not let anything stop him. Determination fill his soul and heart as he keeps going as he journey.

His feet was in pain, he was freezing, hungry, thirsty, tired and exhausting, not to mention injured but he keeps fighting. He keeps believing that he will make it and he will return home.

(A week later)

His journey came to an end when he climb up a hill and at the distances he sees the Night Raid base as his determination finally paid off and he make his way over. He walk through the forest, small lakes and everything until he finally arrived.

He stood there as he look up at the base while breathing heavily as his eyes started to give in and soon he collapses onto the floor and falls unconscious.

(Hours later)

We see him waking up in a bed with Najenda beside him as she was the first to see him awake.

Y/n:.....Clan master?

Najenda: Y/n! Thank god your awake.

She immediately hug him which surprised Y/n and made him blush a bit. She hug him a bit longer but soon she let's go and tells him.

Najenda: Lubbock noticed some movement while outside and when he investigate it he saw you laying on the floor barely naked and mess up. What happened to you? We thought you were dead?

Y/n: No. I was captured and taking to the capital. They ask me questions which I refuse. They tortured me but I never say a word. Then I escaped.

Najenda: (surprised) You escape the capital? Impossible! Those go to the capital are never to return!

Y/n: And yet I escaped.

The two fall silent with Najenda being disbelief by all of this and soon she gets up and tells Y/n.

Najenda: I have to report this. Right now everyone will know you as an assassin who escaped the capital alive.

Y/n: I understand.

Soon Najenda leave and then Sheele came in as she stared at him with disbelief in her eyes. The two stared at each other and soon she begins to burst into tears and collapses on both knees.

Sheele: (sobbing) Y/n! I am so so so so sorry for abandoning you! Your like this all because of me! I'm truly am sorry for my mistake! Please forgive me!

Y/n:........I would never blame you Sheele. I choice to sacrifice myself so you and Mine would escape and not suffer the same fate as I have. As long you and Mine are okay......my sacrifice was worth it.

Sheele keeps crying and soon leaps up and hugged him while crying which he comfort her as she continues to cry seeing that Y/n is alive and well and the Night Raids has their assassin back and alive after so long.

To be continued.................................................
