YN POV

YN: Well, so much for sneaking- oof.

I was punch to the face by a short guy name Stonefell while I'm in a cell. My weapons were taken when I got captured. You're probably wondering how I got captured, let's look back to the beginning, shall we?

3 hours earlier, 3rd POV

After they see their fake selves hanged by the sun tree, they went looking for Keeper Yennen. She led them to one of the old resistance hideout.

Scanlan: Hey, I'm a huge fan of taverns, but this place kind of looks like shit.

Yennen: Looks can be deceiving.

She then opens the a secret door. Once they enter, they made it to the basement.

Scanlan: No, its, uh...its shitty on the inside, too.

YN: Would you want to stay outside with those zombie giants?

Scanlan: On second thought, this is nice.

Yennen: An old resistance hideout. We can speak freely here.

Grog notice there's barrels of ale and he quickly grab a mug before getting ale.

Grog: (Smiles.) Yes!- wait.

Grog opens it but nothing came out.

Grog: (Groan.) Wait.

Grog breaks it open but nothing and does the same to the other barrels and still nothing.

Grog: No. Oh, gods, no. (Yells.) WHAT IS THIS HELL!?

Yennen: Thanks to the Briarwoods, all our resources are dwindling. Including ale.

Grog: (Enrage.) I will fucking murder EVERYONE!!

Grog throws a empty barrel at the wall out of his rage.

YN: Easy Grog, once we kill the Briarwoods, we'll go get drunk later. And if that's not enough, you can kill Vax after the Briarwoods.

Vax: Hey!

Grog: Fuck yeah!

Yennen begins to explain that they needed the resistance help if they all want to win. But the resistance isn't strong enough unless they rescue the leader who's been captured. Claiming that he's set to be hanged tomorrow and the resistance leader is name Archibald Desnay which made Percy surprise.

Percy: Archie? But how?

YN: Friend of yours?

Percy: We...(Smiles.) We grew up together.

Percy explains that his father worked in the kitchen. He and Percy are best friends and raise hell all over the castle. Meanwhile Keyleth approach to a root of the Sun Tree, trying to speak to it until YN interrupted.

YN: So um, trying to speak to the tree?

Keyleth: Yeah, but for some reason, I can't hear it. As if its light is too weak.

YN: Huh.

YN looks at the tree but he sees its still alive.

YN: It looks alive. Must've been forever since the sun was blocked ever since.

Keyleth: Oh...

YN: Hey, don't worry, I'm sure there's a way.

Keyleth: You sure?

YN: Definitely. There was an old man from my world when I was a kid, he once said "The light lives in all places, in all things. You can block it even try to trap it. But in the end, the light always find its way."
