He goes down the stairs and enters the kitchen. In the kitchen, he takes a small bottle of alcohol and opens the back door. He lands in the cableway of the door and looks at the backyard. In the yard at the foot of a tree, a beautiful woman is lying on the grass. This woman is 1m75 tall, she has long red hair that cascades over her shoulders and back. She opens one eye at the noise the man-made when he opened the door. His eye, emerald color, shows joy and a little sadness at the sight of the man. She opens her second eye and stands up. Her blood-red dress, going down to her ankles, gives her a wild and sophisticated look at the same time.

She walks slowly towards the young man. The man smiles when he sees the expression of happiness and sadness displayed by the woman. She comes up to him and takes him in her arms. The young person also takes the woman in his arms. They hug each other for a few minutes.

The woman broke their embrace first. She puts him at arm's length.

"Look at you Saibus, now an assassin, I feel like it's been over a decade since a little teenager came to my house to be his mentor. At the time, you were a very small child, seeking to become stronger, to learn more about magic, alchemy, blacksmithing, fighting techniques. Now you are an assassin in your own right. A powerful mage and fighter. " the woman declares with emotion.

A smile appears on Saibus's face. He puts his hands on the woman's and brings them down from her shoulders. He keeps his hands in his.

"You know I owe you, Trinity, a lot, you taught me a lot, you guided me, advised me… You are and always will be my mentor and some kind of aunt that I can always count on." Trinity already moved becomes, even more, several tears come out of her eyes, and run down her white cheeks.

"Yes, you will always be a too serious and calm nephew. I'm quite happy to see that by being around me, you have become a little more smiley and fun. You have lost a little of your dark side." Trinity speaks softly between two sobs.

Saibus takes her back in his arms and gently rubs her back.

"Come on Trinity, we'll meet again, it's just goodbye."

"I know, but it feels weird to me. I was on my own before I took you on as an apprentice. I got used to you, your seriousness, your intelligence. The house is going to be empty now that you are gone. . As I know you you will not stop taking missions and not a day off. "

"Don't worry, I will take days to rest or to work on my chemistry, my forge or my fighting techniques. I will take the opportunity to visit you." Saibus said softly.

"You better visit me, I'm your mentor and your aunt, you dirty kid."

Saibus smiled at Trinity's comment. He gives his adopted aunt one last hug before exiting the back yard through the side door that connects to the front yard.

"Kyaak" A cry echoed around. Trinity looked up to see a hawk hovering over her with the house. The falcon flies above Saibus, following it from the sky.

Trinity wipes the tear stains from her cheeks.

"Take care of yourself Saibus."

8 Velen 1193

It's been a month since Saibus became a League Assassin. During this month, he did not undertake any mission. He does not need money because he amassed a small fortune during his years under Trinity, he received part of the rewards of the missions. He only made this direct to (place of birth). Saibus arrived at the scene of his old home.

Contrary to what one might think, the house is not in ruins. It is in perfect condition. Ezio, Saibus's uncle, maintained the place until the day Saibus was an adult to keep it.

He enters the house through Eden's wooden door. As he walked through the entrance to the house, Saibus felt a great deal of nostalgia, a lot of memories came back to his mind. Visions of the moments he spent with his mother and father appeared before him. Saibus spent the next three hours revisiting his old home and recalling the memories he had there.

For a person who had no emotion, Saibus is now very emotional when his loved ones are in question. In the early afternoon, Saibus walks the paths he used to take when training with his father or playing with Yennefer. He walks for a few more minutes before finding himself in front of the waterfall where his father was preparing his body. He looks near the shore and sees his parents' graves. He slowly approaches them and tells them about his last years.

After several long minutes, Saibus lets out a heavy sigh before smiling and removing his gloomy expression. He walks along the bank then over the rocks to get behind the waterfall. Behind the waterfall, a large dark cave continues deep into the earth.

Saibus ventures into the cave. He lit a torch with the magic of fire and oil. The torch illuminates the walls of the cave on which the shadow of Saibus dances.

Saibus footsteps echo through the cave and create echoes that reverberate through the cavern. For a few minutes, he walks through the dark alleys of the cave. He finally arrives in a flooded room. There is just a small platform at the room's entrance.

Saibus looks at the room filled with water, but he can't find what he wants.

"Sir, are you there?" Saibus cries out and hears the echo of his voice echoing off the walls of the cavity. But, unfortunately, Saibus receives no response.

He waited a few seconds and was about to call back but stopped when he observed a ripple on the surface of the water. The small surge multiplies and ends up forming waves on the water in the room. In the center of the waves, the water rises to reveal a gigantic sea serpent with green and blue scales. The snake has a long red crest above its head that runs throughout its body. His emerald eyes harmonize with those scales.

"It's been a long time, young. You've been through a lot in all of his years. But, you are now an assassin and worthy of learning the story about your young Auditore line."
