The lost soldier (re-write)

YN's past

YN gets home from work and immediately goes to his study and opens his drink cabinet. He pours himself a whiskey and goes to put back the bottle, but he stops.

YN: That, that'll take more than one to forget.

He walks over to the fireplace and sits down in a high backed sofa chair and puts the bottle on the adjacent table.

It is at this point when Johanas walks into the room and jumps int YN's lap.

YN: In all that I have done, I know I am innocent in your eyes.

Johanas yawns and curls up on his lap.

YN: Yeah, I know.

There is then a knock at the door.

YN: Who is it?

Glynda: It is your wife to be.

YN: Come in then, sit with me.

Glynda then sits down in the chair opposite to YN.

Glynda: So how was your first day?

YN: Not what it could have been.

Glynda: How so?

YN: I assaulted one of my students.

Glynda: Which one?

YN: Russel.

Glynda: What did he do? He can't have done anything worth you doing that as a teacher.

YN: He insulted my brother.

Glynda: And?

YN: My brother is dead.

Glynda: I'm sorry, how did it happen.

YN: I killed him.

Glynda: WHAT?!

YN: He was suffering from a poison gas attack and I snapped his neck to put him out of his agony. I don't regret my actions as there was nothing else I could have done for him.

Glynda hugs YN.

Glynda: I am sorry for what you had to go through, you have suffered as no one should.

YN: I have suffered as I should for what I have done.

Glynda: Well, tomorrow is another day, and it will be better than the last.

YN: Thanks, If you don't mind, would you mind cuddling for a bit, I think I need it tonight.

Glynda: Sure. (Kisses forehead)

The sun sets, the sun rises, and YN heads to beacon to teach.

YN was at the chalk board and he was teaching the class.

YN: I know that last class I was a bit... emotional. So as an I'm sorry, I'll let you ask one question each about myself and I will answer them to the best of my abilities. Ren, you may go first.

Ren: What rank are you now?

YN: I am currently a colonel in the army. However if this whole experiment of training you to be the officers of the future works out I may just become a general.

Nora: Is it true that you had an affair with Miss Goodwitch?

YN: It is not true, an affair mainly means that it is behind someone's back. Me and Glynda are in a pleasant relationship.

Yang: What is your net worth?

YN: Last time I checked I was worth over a billion Lien.

Blake: So your teaching here, why exactly?

YN: I'm bored, it's as simple as that.

Ruby: What is your favorite kind of cookie?

YN: Gingerbread men, the way mum used to make them.

Jaune: Do you have any children?

YN: I have a few who are still around.

Pyrrha: What are their names and ages?

YN: I can't remember all of them, however I can tell you that some of of them is related to some of you

The class then looks at each other and then back at YN

Class: Tell us!

YN: Maybe!

There is a moment of silence and then Weiss asks her question.

Weiss: This may be a bit personal, but how are you still alive? It's just you're one thousand and ninety years old.

YN: Two things. One, does this hairstyle really make me look younger? And two, its a long story, so I'm gonna sit down for this one.

YN: (sits at desk and pulls out a cigarette and schnapps) It all started when.

Jaune: Mr LN, you're not supposed to drink or smoke in here.

YN: Well you're also not supposed to beat tree frogs with golf clubs but we all do things we aren't supposed to do. (Mumbling) Fucking noisy green leaping bastards. (Back to normal) It all started when I tried to hang my self after my brother's death. I had just started to climb onto the chair when a Holy Spirit appeared in front of me. It asked me why I was doing. I told him that I was going to kill my self because I failed my brother. The spirit then told me that I could avenge him whilst also guaranteeing myself a spot in heaven when I die. The proviso was that I kill five thousand people. At first I thought he was nuts. But then he told me of a place where there were over five thousand enemy soldiers and that I could do it all in one swoop and that they wouldn't resist too hard. Naturally I jumped at the chance, I grabbed my unit and we picked up flamethrowers from the commissary before heading out. We arrived at the location and we surrounded a large old wooden building, about three stories tall. I ordered them to hang back while I burned the building, I heard, never mind, that's a story for another time. At the end of that the spirit then told me this, I killed six thousand and since I killed an additional thousand I had another option. My brother would go to heaven and I would live forever, or I would go to heaven but he would stay in purgatory. I knew that either way I would never see my brother again so I chose the first option, that is why I am here today.

The class is silent until Cardin asked his question.

Cardin: Is your daughter the Salem, as in queen of darkness Salem?

YN: I was planning on just ignoring you lot but that is a good question. Ant the answer to that one is yes. My daughter is the queen of darkness, and I am very proud of her.

Russel: Hey my question is.

YN: IRREVERENT! I still haven't forgiven you for what you did and if you bring him up again I will sew your lips together, cover your backside in honey, and leave you in front of a very horny manticore.

Russel slowly backs away while YN stares him down.
