// Kidnapped //

"(Name)." You hear your name being called, but felt too much exhaustion to even move or even awake. "Get Down!" Upon hearing a rough voice yell, your eyes shot upon adjusting to the darkness in the space you were in. "(Name)!" Yona says, a sigh of relief escaping her eyes when you stirred awake. She practically threw herself into your arms, as you returned the embraced.

You noticed Lili watching from afar, and gestured her over. "Lili, come." You call over, your voice rather hoarse. She made her way over, relaxing in the embrace of you and Yona. When the two let go, you finally got a good look of the place you were in. "It seems like we're in a carriage." Yona says, as you recall the recent events. "We were kidnapped." You add as she nods in response.

The door to the carriage opens and a rough brute older man appears by the door. "I told y'all to get out!" He yells, as he pulls your arm and yanks you out the carriage. You stumble slightly before steadying yourself. He does the same to Yona and Lili, basically throwing them out the carriage. You extend your hand and help them steady themselves.

Yona's expression turns into one of shock when she finally gets a good look at her surroundings. You follow her gaze, and stare in shock at the scene before you. There was a huge wall being built, and there were multiple people being forced to work and build the wall. They were pushed to do labor against their will. The wall towered before you, its height only growing as the people worked unwillingly.

The condition of the people was incredibly dire, some were skinny and looked incredibly malnourished, some were covered in dirt head to toe, some were covered in blood, wounds, bruises and seemed exhausted. It was a hell hole. Lili moved closer towards you and Yona, and you felt her lightly hold on to the sleeve of your clothing. You felt rather warm at the thought of someone depending on you.

"What is going on here..." Lili mumbled, taken aback by the situation unfolding infront of you. "Sei?! You're saying this is Sei?!" A man yelled at a soldier from beside you. You weren't surprised at all since you had predicted that you would be taken to Sei.

The soldier stayed quiet as more and more people came and yelled at him, arguing about how they want to go back and that they were taken here without their will. The soldier eventually reached a breaking point, when he unraveled his whip. He mercilessly hit the man infront of him multiple times as you gasp in horror.

"Those who resist will be killed. You have all been brought here to be slaves. Your job is simple, build the fort here." The soldier explained, holding the whip in his hand. He domineered over the crowd and successfully instilled fear into them. "What is this fort?" Yona asks the soldier, taking a step forward. You pull her back in fear of her getting hit.

"Quiet! You're not allowed to ask questions!" The soldier responds, his tone harsher than earlier. "Just keep your head down and do as your told! If you finish, we'll let you go back!" The soldier yells once more, before walking away. You took in your surroundings before noticing a familiar woman in a distance. "Tsubaru! Were you brought here too?" Lili asks as she makes her way to the said lady.

However Yona and You watched from afar. "Tsubaru is the one who brought us here." Yona leaned over and cautiously says, as you nod your head. "I know. She chased after me when I attempted to escape. If i'm right, she's involved in the nadai incident as well, and she approached Lili on purpose" You say, as Yona squeezes your hand comfortingly.

"Lili! Stay away from her." Yona yells, approaching the two cautiously. Lili tilts her head, looking confused. "Tsubaru, who are you? Why have you brought us here?" You ask, pulling Lili towards you. "...I'm a merchant from Sei." Tsubaru finally speaks, a guilty look taking over her features.
