Inside the tower, the leader walked straight down the hallway. Burning lamps lighting the way.
At the end of the hallway was a dimly lit cell.
The leader placed his hand on the cell door, then the cell bars etched with strange symbols began to glow, red. The lock came undone, and the prison cell opened. The leader walked in.
Despite the bleakness of the cell, the figure standing at the end of the cell was visible. Dressed in faded clothes, arms and legs tightly bounded to the wall with thick cuffs.
The faint light that filtered through the small barred window glinted on the figure's thick past hip-lenght straight hair which completely curtained their face. Their gender unknown.
" It's been…what? Three years. Three years since my last visit. And you look worse. How are you still living is beyond my comprehension."The leader said while looking at the figure.
The figure didn't reply, but remained motionless. The leader then continued, " Erasmus, you haven't seen the light of day since you were captured ten years ago. You weren't allowed to move or speak and you hardly had any food or water at all. You have been severely tortured, yet you still wouldn't give in ?!"
" You know, at some point, I was almost feeling sorry for you , a legend. But it is the way of life. I am now closer to reaching greater heights." Torturing Erasmus has earned him connections to wealthy and powerful people.
Seeing that Erasmus still wasn't talking, the leader couldn't help , but be annoyed. He walked briskly towards Erasmus, and pulled his hair harshly, jerking his head forward.
" Listen here. My name is Gideon Windsong from a branch family of the Windsong household. It's your pleasure to know the name of the one who has been making your life a living hell!"
With that said, Gideon raised his other hand in a fist, and punched towards Erasmus head.
" Really? " A throaty voice asked, breaking the silence.
Gideon's fist halted, and that was enough for Erasmus to act.
*BOOM!!!*
Erasmus headbutted Gideon. Without a moment to spare , his chained hands directly pulled out from the stone wall to its roots. Blocked bricks came smashing Gideon's head and torso knocking him out. The fight ended just like that. Gideon wasn't able to react.
" Is that all you've got ?" Erasmus red blooded eyes brightened as he stared at the unconscious body on the ground.
" It should be your pleasure." Lightly shaking his hands, the chains binding them came undone shattering into pieces. He outrightly ripped the chains on his legs into bits.
Erasmus yawned, and stretched lazily as he scratched his hair shaped like waterfall.
Suddenly, a weird sound came from somewhere. Surprised, he parted his front bangs, his pale young face came into view.
" Is this real?"

A bright blue screen appeared in front of Erasmus.
BING!
{ To see attributes, say ' STATUS ' in your mind. So people won't think you are crazy, even though you look like one. }
" Right…Crazy ? I have been called many things, but not crazy. " Erasmus said as he smiled brightly at the floating screen.
" But since you said I am, why don't I show you how crazy I can get , huh?"
Erasmus picked a broken stone with a sharp edge, and slid it on his finger drawing a drop of blood, while saying " If I slit myself with this you would cease to exist, right? So let's get CRAZY!"
Just as he wanted to jab it into his throat, the system stopped it.
{ Wait!!! Wait!Wait! We…can work together..Ermm.. Check your status. } The system said nervously.
^I was right. This man is crazy. ^
