Y/n's POV

"F/n, wake up. Fight the serum, please.." A hand was placed on both my shoulders as they lightly shook me.

"..." I don't have the strength to reply, so I merely made a sound.

"F/n.. you have to wake up.."

"Who..?" I slurred.

"F/n!" He embraced me in a hug. F/..n..? Wait.. F/n.!? Suddenly, I was on high alert and pushed the boy away.

"Back off!" How does he know my former name!?

".. F/n..? It's you.. Isn't it..?" His eyes glowed with hope and despair.

"I'm not F/n... I'm.. Y/n.."

".. oh.. sorry.. I mistook you for my friend.." He backed away to the other corner of the cell we are in, curling into a ball. A.. friend..?

"... Who are you?"

".. nobody important, heh.."

"Of all the.. sigh.. I'll start naming names I know. Tell me if I got yours." He looked up with a sliver of hope in his eyes as I continued, "Bonanus. Bosacius. Indarias. Menogias. Baal. Definitely not Tsaritsa or Morax or Barbatos or Alatus.. ... Ricky-"

"It's... Ricky.. ... You.. know me..?" He uncurled himself.

"... You're alive!?" I would jump up and down if I weren't so tired.

"I don't know anyone called Y/n-"

"F/n.. I was F/n.." I interrupted. I can't believe I found Ricky! After all these years.. "Where have you been?"

"So it is you! I knew it! Well.. I was knocked out during a big fight. Next thing I know, here I am."

"How long have you been here?"

"I'm not certain.. I think woke up.. about a month ago? Time's difficult to keep track in here.."

"Oh.. you've been out cold for thousands of years.."

"Thousands!? ... what about-"

"I don't know.. I never found the god who saved us from you know what."

"... F/n... These walls are sealed with something that suppresses my powers.. I don't know how to explain it.." Ricky said as he points to symbols.

"Sigh... this again I see.. Well, there's only one way out, and that's when they let us out."

"You.. mentioned a lot of names I don't recognise.. is there someone who could help us?"

".. I forgot! One of my Adepti friends can hear prayers! But I better warn him not to act rashly.." Hey Xiao, don't come right this instant. If you do you'll be trapped. I don't know where I am but it would be nice to get rescued. Xiao, I hope you're not too worried, I am doing ok.

"So..?" Ricky asks.

"Message sent. Now, we wait."

"Growl.." A rumbling sound was heard.

"Huh? What was that sound?" I asked.

"Ehe.. sorry it was me.. I'm really hungry.." Ricky placed a hand over his belly. Now that I look at him properly, he is very thin..
