3rd POV

Vox Machina and the resistance ran through the towns from any guards pursuing them.

Archie: (To resistance.) Spread word of our escape. Rendezvous in the morning.

She nods before they split up. Once they pass through the sun tree, Keyleth stop for the moment and see that the fake Vox Machina were still hanged. Making her worried that they may share the same fate until YN comforts her.

YN: It won't happen to us.

Keyleth: (Looks down.) How can you be sure...?

YN: Because we have each other, and we won't go down without a fight. Let's go before they spotted us.

She smiles for a bit before they continue until they made it to the hideout. But as soon as they got inside, Vax starts talking to Percy with a glare.

Vax: Time to start talking, Percival. The fuck happened back there?

Percy: I assure you, I'm in control.

Vax: Oh, were you in control when you point that at me? I saw you're eyes!

Percy: The pepperbox is a potent tool. I...I may have gotten carried away.

YN: Carried away? Carried away!? You know damn well that we barely escape with our own lives no thanks to you.

Percy: And it would've been worse if I didn't do something about it.

Vax: Oh, I swear, if you turn that thing on any of us again, (Grabs Percy collar shirt.) I will not hesitate. I will kill you!

YN: I have a better idea, chop his hand off so he doesn't use that thing again.

Vax: Not a bad idea, but either way, I won't hesitate.

Vax walk away to cool himself while Vex speaks up to Percy.

Vex: Percy, holding that weapon, its like you're a different person. What is it?

Percy didn't say any while the room was quiet for a minute.

Vex: When we came here, darling, you promise no more lies. You owe us the truth.

Percy: You're right....the creation of the pepperbox beginning five years ago.

Percy explain that after he escape from the Briarwood, he had no way to strike back. His only option was too fled and end up being washed away from the Whitestone. Fearing that his family name was a death sentence.

    So he hid and struggle to survive ever since. Nights filled with fear, blood and cruel nightmares. Fearing that he'll go mad from grief as the hatred inside him grew like fire confining his soul.

    Until one moment, a new vision came. A weapon that will aid his vengeance. A machine of darkness that only have one purpose, death.

Scanlan: Yikes. No wonder he's single.

Vex: (Scoff.) Not the time, Scanlan.

YN: I don't know, I'm with Scanlan on this one.

Vex: YN!

YN: Just saying.

Vax: Do you normally build instruments of death you find in your dream?

Percy: Not the first time I've been inspired. Does it matter where it came from?

Vax: At the moment? Yes, I'd say it does.

While they're having a conversation, Keyleth, hears the sun tree as she look at the roots.
