[A/N] TW-Mentions of blood and injuries
[Y/N POV]
Y/N groaned, his head pounding like a timpani in a marching band. His vision blurred, and when he tried to move, he realized his hands were bound behind his back. The sound of dripping water echoed in the dim chamber, his senses slowly coming back to him.
Where the fuck was he? The last thing he remembered was being ambushed during a quest. He strained to focus, attempting to make out his surroundings. The air was dank, heavy with the scent of mildew and something metallic.
As his eyes adjusted to the low light, he discerned bars and stone walls—a cell. Y/N's heartbeat quickened. His friends and Artemis were nowhere in sight. Anxiety clawed at his chest. What had happened to them?
He struggled against his restraints, the cuffs biting into his wrists. With a jolt, memories flooded back. A skirmish. His capture. He winced, recalling the confrontations that led to this imprisonment.
"Y/N L/N, the Son and champion of Aphrodite," a sardonic voice taunted from the shadows.
Y/N's gaze darted towards the source of the voice.A young girl aged about 10 stepped into the dim light, her expression grim. She looked worn and her clothing was torn in many places. Her presence only added to Y/N's anxiety. Why was she here?
"What's going on,little girl and what is your name?"Y/N asked, his voice soft and gentle.
"We've been captured by a group of men who said something about someone named lord Kronos wanting you,"The small girl explained, she seemed close to crying. "They're holding us for a titan to take us to Kronos. We're in their stronghold, and they've separated us into different cells."
Y/N's mind raced. He had to find a way out, and quickly. His friends, his camp, and the fate of Artemis could be at stake.
But as he tried to break the restraints, a jolt of electricity surged through the chains, sending searing pain through his body. He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to endure the shock.He looked at his body and audibly gasped in shock as he saw the many wounds and the blood on the floor due to his cuts which looked deep and infected.
"Careful!" the girl warned. "They've rigged the cells with traps. We need a plan."
Y/N nodded, his mind working furiously. They needed to escape, regroup, and find a way to turn the tables on their captors.
As he leaned back against the cold stone wall, the realization hit him. This wasn't just about their escape. It was about protecting the world from a new threat, a threat that had to be stopped, no matter the cost.
With determination burning in his eyes, Y/N began to devise a plan—a plan to break free, reunite with his friends, and face the looming danger ahead.
Y/N's mind raced with ideas. The key was to find a way to outsmart their captors and evade the traps set in the cells. He knew his mother could help.
"Hey girl what is your name and, do you know anything about their defenses?"Y/N asked, trying to glean any useful information and the girl's name.
The girl shook her head. "Not much. My name is Anisa. But I overheard guards mentioning a central control room. If we can get there, we might be able to disable the traps and locate the others."
Y/N nodded, formulating a plan. "We need a distraction, something to draw the guards away from this cell. Can you create a diversion?"
Anisa smirked. "Leave that to me."
With a sly grin, she rattled the bars of her cell, raising her voice in a taunting shout that echoed through the corridors. The guards, drawn by the commotion, rushed past Y/N's cell, leaving it momentarily unattended.
Seizing the opportunity,Y/N focused his concentration on the restraints. He prayed to his mother so that she could help him, the familiar rush of energy surging through his veins. With a controlled shove and tear, he shattered the chains binding his wrists, the strength dissipating into nothingness as the shackles fell away.
Free from his constraints, Y/N hurried to the cell's entrance, examining the locking mechanism. Drawing on his remaining strength, he kicked the door, causing it to weaken. With a swift kick, he forced the door open, the damaged lock giving way and falling on the floor.
"Let's move!" Y/N urged as he gestured for her to follow.
Together, they stealthily navigated the labyrinthine corridors, evading patrols and disabling traps. As they approached the central control room, Y/N's senses tingled with an incoming threat. He held up a hand, halting Anisa just before a corner.
Two guards patrolled near the entrance to the control room.Y/N glanced at Anisa and silently gestured a plan. Swiftly and silently, they ambushed the guards, rendering them unconscious before slipping into the room.
Inside, a complex array of monitors and control panels lay before them.Y/N scanned the displays, searching for any sign of an escape route. He finally spotted a screen displaying various doors and escape routes
"Anisa, we've found a way to escape,"Y/N whispered, relief flooding through him.
While Anisa worked on disabling the cell traps because she had knowledge on eletronical devices,Y/N focused on overriding the security measures that guarded the stronghold. The alarms blared momentarily, sending guards scrambling to contain the breach.
With the traps disabled and the security momentarily in disarray, Y/N and Anisa sprinted to the door that held the exit. The joyous feeling was brief as they swiftly were ambushed by around 20 guards, who held the doors to the exit shut and protected so as all hope seemed lost Y/N and Anisa held their breaths and prepared to fight when the doors burst open and the guards were impaled with silver arrows and standing there was Artemis with fury evident on her face as she swiftly cut down all the guards and pulled Y/N into a hug and simply held him there in her warm and safe arms as she looked over him seeing many injuries and she swore she saw some infected cuts.
A/N:there we go our first mature chapter done and a new character who knows what the future holds for our small band of friends.
