Chapter 10 - Sebastian
Forty years ago...
A young Sebas was sold off by his own parents to the underworld.
Deemed a child of potential, he was sent to the assassin guild where they discovered he had an innate talent for killing and a rare skill called Silent Step. It was perfect for silent and efficient assassinations.
So they trained him.
Day and night, he honed his craft. His hands grew steady and his heart colder. Before long, he had become a professional killer.
Eight years flew by in a blur of missions and blood.
Then, unexpectedly, he was tasked with something new... Training a new recruit.
He was stunned when he saw the newcomer. A boy no older than eight. Even younger than Sebas had been when he was first dragged into this world.
But this child... he was different.
He exuded confidence, almost as if he wanted to be here. There was no fear in his eyes, only ambition.
It didn’t take long for them to grow close. Despite the age gap, they became true friends which is a rarity in their brutal world.
