Chapter 42: Farewell

An 18-year-old man stands in a room. The youngster is slim, athletic, and 1m80. He comes out of his room with his equipment. His equipment consists of a white and red outfit. He wears black pants with a long white dress held by a red belt. Leather armor for protection and sheaths at his hips to store his twin swords. Along his belt, needles are stored. On his forearms, two leather protectors with steel plates on the top are fixed by leather straps. Its protections are the famous secret blades of the League of Assassins. This weapon and the leap of faith are the two symbols of the League. On the steel plate of each blade, the Assassins symbol is inscribed, A.

 

He goes down the stairs and enters the kitchen. He takes a small bottle of alcohol from the kitchen 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 looked at the man's nose when he opened the door. His emerald color vision 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, simultaneously gives her a wild and sophisticated look.

She strolls toward 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. Then, 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 tiny child,  seeking to become stronger and to learn more about magic, alchemy, blacksmithing, and 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, guided me, advised me… You are and always will be my mentor and some aunt that I can always count on."  Trinity has 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. But, I'm quite happy that you have become a little more smiley and fun by being around me. 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 will 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 work on my chemistry, forge, or fighting techniques. Then, 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 hugs his adopted aunt before exiting the backyard through the side door connecting 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.

"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 and received part of the rewards for the tasks. Therefore, he only made this direct to (place of birth). Finally, Saibus arrived at the scene of his old home.

Contrary to what one might think, the house is not in ruins. On the contrary, 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; many memories came back to his mind. Visions of his moments with his mother and father appeared before him. Saibus spent the next three hours revisiting his old home and recalling his memories 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 is 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 and 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 cave walls 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 water-filled room but 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 water's surface. The small surge multiplies and ends up forming waves on the water in the room. The water rises in the center of the waves 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 worthy of learning the story about your young Auditore line."
