Raiden's POV
It's dark, I'm not able to breathe properly, it's stinky and I'm suffocated
I want to get out...
This chain is killing me right now, I'm not able to use my power because this chain has an anti-magic thingy in it
Darn it all
I cannot blame lady Eloise for this, this is all my fault
Each day and each night, I've been blaming all the faults on myself
The enemies almost burned down the entire empire because of me
The mages are turning their backs on me
I've disappointed all of them, especially lady Eloise
It's driving me insane every time the whole scene of that certain night are flashing back in my memories
It was painful, I cannot scream for help, I feel like I'm in hell with satan that night
I'm losing my mind for I am not able to control myself and acted so strange. I let them use me and I hated myself for it
Augustus died because of me
Lady Eloise never visited me... and I know exactly why
Everything is just all messed up for me, my fate is blurry, and I can't do anything
I want to disappear right now
I heard someone's footstep
I raised my head and found a lady in front of me
"You must be Raiden, the fallen mage." She said
"Fallen..?"
"Everyone is calling you that."
"Who are you?"
"Does it matter?"
I didn't answer
"Look here, do you want to escape this chamber or nah?"
"What...?"
She raised her eyebrows, "Did they torture you and it made you deaf? I said, do you want to escape this chamber or nah?"
"I do, but how did you manage to enter this floor?" I asked, I'm confused
"It doesn't matter,"
She opened the metal door and unchained me
"How come you had those keys?"
She looks at the keys, "Oh, this? I stole 'em."
I look at her, she's suspicious
"What? Don't look at me like that, hold my hand."
"Why?" I asked
"Just hold it."
I hold her hand and in a blink of an eye, we're deep inside the woods
"Wha---"
"I helped you escape, that's what you wanted after all these years, right?"
I nod, "But how come---"
She placed her hand in my mouth "Shh, let's save the talking for another time."
"What about you?"
"Don't worry, I'm stronger than you, besides I have to go back because I have to return these to those big dumb guards." She's about to go away but I tapped her shoulder
"What's your name?"
She looked at me blankly, "Just call me, Sam."
"Sam?"
"Yeah, S-A-M, Sam."
"Thank you, Sam."
"Yeah, welcome, now go on, get outta here and go take some hygiene man, you stink."
"Is that an insult?"
"Does it sound like one to you?"
"Not really,"
"Then it's not an insult. Now stop talking and run along now."
"Thanks again,"
She just smiled at me and disappeared
I'm confused and curious about her
Sam... Never heard of that name before
