Akane, Sei and Mira are walking into the castle. The Queen and King stand up.

KING: You were supposed to be dead!

QUEEN: Where's Adira?!

AKANE: She is dead.

KING: What did you do to her you traitor?!

AKANE: I may be a traitor, but I'm doing that for the greater good.

QUEEN: Greater good?! You betrayed you're country! You betrayed your home!

AKANE: Home? This is no longer my home.

She takes her dagger and cuts her tattoed symbol.

AKANE: I will no longer be an assassin.

QUEEN: You dare say that before your parents?

AKANE: I am no longer your daughter. I am me! And if you don't like that...

She puts her sword before her.

AKANE: Then fight me.

Queen and king step backwards, scared and shooked.

AKANE: I'm not afraid! Afterall I know you don't even know how to fight.

They are shooked, their body shaking. They fall to the ground.

KING: We're s-sorry.

AKANE: If I ever see you again.

MIRA: You are free now...

They were about to leave when Mira says.

MIRA: You never taught me that.

DAD: What?

MIRA: Mercy... Go now, go as far away from me.
