As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into months, Raden began to acclimate to his new life in the prison. He learned the rules and how to navigate the complex social hierarchies that governed the inmate population. But even as he grew accustomed to the routine, he never forgot the reality of his situation. He was trapped in a seemingly impregnable prison, with walls that towered 50 stories high, and were reinforced by powerful magical barriers. The guards were not just mere mortals, but highly trained knights and mages, making any escape attempt an exercise in futility. Raden knew that he was destined to spend the rest of his life in this grim place, and the hopelessness of his situation weighed heavily upon him.
In the period Raden had been there he had made some companions as well, Geneviève and Kevin. They used to get along pretty well. The three of them wanted to get out of prison and live prosperous lives.
"How long are we going to rot here?" questions Kevin.
"It's impossible to get out of here Kevin" Replies Geneviève.
"The guards were talking about some Grand Banquet which will happen in a month, so we can use that opportunity to get out of here," says Raden Firmly.
"However, seeing our strength, we can't get out of here," says Raden with a tinge of regret and self-loathing in his voice.
"You can understand the language they speak?" asks Geneviève in wonder with her eyes wide open.
"I've been here for four years already and I always hear the guards speaking while they are drunk at night. And since I don't sleep properly in this terrible place anyway, I always overhear their conversations." Says Raden.
"Hence, I learned it hearing them speak" continues Raden.
"WOW! You are a geni- "Kevin interrupts while Geneviève was speaking and Shouts "ENOUGH"
"You were saying something about the festival, weren't you? Well, we will use that opportunity to get out of here! Every guard here carries a master key which allows them to open any of the handcuffs. I will steal one of the keys while the guard is drunk and asleep tonight. Let's get out of here!" Shouts Kevin
Raden looks at Kevins eye's and sees how determined he was. Takes a deep breath and says "Fine"
At night, just as planned, Kevin gets out of his cell using his thin body to easily get out of and behind the bars. He snakingly grabs one of the Guard's Master keys kept in his breast pocket and leaves silently. Raden was looking at Kevin from his cell and felt his heart beat harder and faster at every step Kevin took.
Just as planned they were now waiting for the night of the festival. Raden notices Geneviève and Kevin weren't paying attention to him and ignoring him after getting the keys. Raden thinks to himself that they weren't paying attention to him because he was an Outsider.
The commendation of Prison Break
Despite the seemingly insurmountable odds, Raden's desire for freedom never waned. He spent countless hours studying the prison's layout, looking for any possible weaknesses or vulnerabilities. And finally, after months of planning, he came up with a daring escape plan. It was risky, and the odds of success were low, but Raden knew that he had to try.
Raden despite not being physically gifted; asset was his strategy and thinking capabilities. Geneviève was good at magic and Kevin was more physically strong hence Raden makes a plan on taking out the guards. He had searched for some secret passages and Shortcuts as well. They all agreed on the plan just before the day of the Great festival!
There was a bombardment outside not just the prison but the whole of Brittania was celebrating. The sparks of the festival were enough to make a person blind. The sparks enlightened the passage hall which at one point looked like a never-ending abyss. Raden and his inmates took a step closer to seeking freedom
Kevin opens their handcuffs and the three of them stealthily run toward the end of the building. Geneviève spots one of the guards still in patrol and whispers "pigaínete ston esoterikó ýpno" And the guard falls asleep. Raden was in awe because he had seen someone doing something so amazing right in Infront of him. They see several guards but Raden shouts follow me grabs the master key from Kevin and goes to the opposite exit.
Raden opens the empty cell which was literally pitch black and jumps into the hole. It was the secret passage Raden had discovered while studying the layout of the building.
It was an underground, narrow passage that could barely fit an adult. Three of them crawled their way down and just as they were moving forward. Raden gets bitten by a Scorpio and A snake. He sucks out the poison and ties the cloth to his legs despite being in a narrow passage and moves forward.
Just as they saw the exit they felt Joy as they were halfway done! Just as they stretched their arms and went toward the exit their joy crumbled Immediately. A soldier had spotted them and closed the exit.
"You brats! Expected to get out of the prison so easily!? Well, you shouldn't have cause now you kids are dead. Prepare to suffer a fate worse than death," Shouted the Knight.
He attacked Raden and the group and stroked Raden's right shoulder. It was a deep cut but he had to withstand It. The knight's movement was slow and clumsy. Kevin figured that he wasn't that strong.
The guard attacks them again and again but Kevin grabs a dagger which he had grabbed in the cell earlier and strikes the drunk soldier. Geneviève Whispers "Chain of thorn" and thorns of rose started stabbing the knight but it was nothing to him and he cut the chain. Just as he was too focused on Kevin and Geneviève. Raden struck him from behind. He grabbed the axe and hit the soldier with it right in his head. He bled heavily and died.
As they made their way through the labyrinthine prison, they encountered numerous obstacles and setbacks. But through sheer grit and determination, they persevered, fighting their way to freedom against all odds.
Now all left was to Climb the 50 Meter wall. Raden was injured so it was hard for him to climb the wall. Geneviève and Kevin went ahead and promised to throw a rope after reaching the top. They reached the top and threw a rope and Raden started climbing up. He could feel himself reaching toward freedom step by step but the scene at the top left him in awe.
There were mages and they patted Geneviève and Kevin head and said "Well done brats ".
He was betrayed…
Before Raden could ever say anything, Geneviève Pushed him opposite to the building.
She had a wicked but excited grin in her face. Raden's kindness had backfired him. And he was in the abyss of despair.
As he falls down the building he shouts "I TRUSTED YOU!"
In the face of betrayal and despair, Raden's world crumbled around him. He had placed his trust in Geneviève and Kevin, only to be met with treachery and deceit. As he fell from the building, his anguished cry echoed across the prison, a testament to the pain of broken trust.
