So you believe you're ready to declare your loyalty to the brotherhood? Then let's begin.

=================================

Y/N's POV

Every night I sleep, I have a recurring dream. Playing like a memory that I desperately wished would not repeat ever again. And when I open my eyes to the world, it's always the same. Loneliness, no one to greet to, no one to be welcomed home by. The feeling of being loved and happy? They were fast becoming a distant journey to the realm of wild fantasy.

I'm Y/N L/N, and it all started when I was brought into the world, five years before the second tiberium war started and came to an end within one year. I was an only child when I learnt about my parents. They were around to help raise me until the age of five when the second war began.

During a long evacuation procedure, the town I was raised in was burnt to the ground when an intense battle between GDI and Nod took place. The end result was both sides losing dozens of their forces and a town left in ruins, with innocent civilians that got caught in the attacks. 

I somehow survived despite being a baby carefully snuggled into a small basket, but my parents...they didn't make it. I was upset over this, but scared as well, so I hid under a fallen shelter. The attacks finally stopped, but the damage was done by the battle.

And how did I know all of this? Because I was founded by a group of Nod soldiers who were looking for survivors, along with a bald man who was with them. But it was so long ago, I can no longer remember his face. Who was he? And was he associated with Nod?

I was then brought all the way to a subterranean city deep underground in Croatia, where I was looked after by a team of carers, who spent their time to help me grow up healthy and I was well cared for. Yet, I still felt like I was alone in the world. Was it really too much to ask for affection?

Well, in the years that followed, I was well educated on all subjects, thanks to the Brotherhood's underground education society that originated in Temple Prime. Due to how frequent the military presence was, I grew a fondness for wanting to do that as well.

So when I became a young adult, I volunteered to gain experience as a solider. Three years after studying in Temple Prime, I graduated from the Brotherhood's education society, with an impressive standard that even impressed a few Nod generals, with one of them believing that I had potential to be a commander someday.

Now in my mid-20s, today was going to be the day that my life would change and set forth my path for the future of the brotherhood. I was scheduled to meet Nod's leading General of the army, who was rumoured to also be a member of Kane's Inner Circle.

Stretching upwards, I woke up and got cleaned before putting my commander uniform that I received yesterday in advance. This was going to be my first day as a commander for Nod. Of course, I wasn't the only one they had. There were others too, but they had their own assignments. When I was ready to go, I left my bunker room to see two Nod soldiers.

"Excuse me, Mr. L/N?" One of them said. "General Killian is ready to see you now. Follow us, sir."

I nodded and was escorted by the soldiers who walked with me down the long corridor which was the crew quarters of the underground. We past on by the large mess hall and left the hand of nod building before taking the elevator up to the famous monument room where a female general was waiting, standing in the middle between four monument stones.

"Thank you, soldiers." She said. "Please leave us."

The Nod soldiers nodded and left the room.

"Greetings, Y/N L/N." She spoke. "I'm here to officially welcome you to the Brotherhood Of Nod. I am Kilian Qatar, leading General of the army, and it is my duty to provide you a brief history of our existence. Our relationship with Tiberium has always been greatly misunderstood. Most people do not realize that the roots of our faith extend back several centuries, long before the emergence of the green crystal on Earth in 1995...an event foreseen by our great leader, Kane."
