You slowly blink awake hanging from the ceiling of the torture cellar... Unusually your wounds have fully healed including your leg fully regrown, the door is open and Ieyasu lays at the enterence dead.

The confusion of awakening after such a horrible experience had taken away most of her ability to think, and the sadness she felt at seeing her friend, dead, certainly didn't help... but adrenaline kicked in. If she was alive, she intended to stay that way. But... it made no sense. Her wounds... she should be dead. And how was her leg still there?
Gritting her teeth, she pulled as hard as she could on the chains holding her... unaware of the new strength inhbiting her body. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 stones into Strength to pull on the chains as hard as she can, unaware that 'as hard as she can' is a lot harder than it used to be.

You pull as best you can breaking the chain and falling to the floor... you also see just outside the door is Aria... Dead chopped nearly in half at the waist.

"...?!! ...D-Did I just do that?" she said, hardly believing her eyes, the broken chain in her hands. She let go of it, letting it fall on the ground, as she stood up and... saw the body of her killer.
She slowly walked up to her, observing her for a moment.
"...Looks like fate caught up with you before I did..." she said softly. "I hope you burn in hell for all eternity", she added a lot more bitterly, as tears finally ran down her cheeks.
However, something caught her attention... the wound that killed the girl.
"...Could it... could it be? ...Tatsumi-kun...?" she whispered, as she took a better look. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5 into Intelligence +2 from Acute Senses to try to identify the wound that kileld Aria as one delivered by Tatsumi's sword and fighting techniques.

You observe the wound yeah it was likely from a blade of similar length, and skill.
You also see the body of a guard nearby his skin covered in strange runes.
"Come on, hurry up." A woman's voice rings in the distance.
"What's the rush, they're not going anywhere." a gruff manly voice said. "Besides why am I even here, it's just two f***ing bodies."

While the runes on that guard's body caught her interest, the voices somewhat frightened her. They could have been anyone, and she had no idea what was happening. Frowning, and gritting her teeth, the brunette quickly hid out of sight, wondering who the voices belonged to, and determined to find out. If only she had her bow, or any weapon, for that matter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6 stones into Thieving (Stealth) to stay out of sight so I can get a better idea of what is up.

Three people emerge from the forrest... a blonde catwoman, a man in black armor with a huge sword, and a man in shiny full body armor and a huge spear.
They go inside the shack. Seconds later you hear.
"WHERE THE HELL IS THE GIRL'S BODY?!!!" You here the woman shriek.
"What do you mean? It's not here, are you s***ing me!"
"That's odd, the boy is still here, as is the target, why would someone steal a one-legged woman's corpse?"
"Some sicko gettin' his kicks probably, guess the runt will have to make due with just his buddy."
"Waitaminute.. Guys I'm picking up a scent." The woman says.

"His... buddy?" she whispered, blinking. They were talking about Tatsumi, Ieyasu and herself! She slowly stood from her hiding spot. "...A-Are you... You're talking about Tatsumi-kun, aren't you?" she asked. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 stones (Ef.) into Close Combat (Hand-to-Hand) all into defense.

"What-"
"The-"
"F***! ZOMBIE!!!" The guy with the huge sword raised it and began to charge.
"Gatsu no!" The blond said grabbing him from behind. "You wanna explain to him how you killed his friend again."
The armored figure looks at you. "This is the woman? Funny she's not as... dead as you said she was, Leone."
"She didn't look that good before we came back Bulat." She said forcing Gatsu to the ground and ripping off his cape tossing it at your feet. "Here, you could use some modesty." She said smiling.

She almost tripped and fell when the man with the sword charged at her, but thankfully the blonde woman had stopped him.
"Yeah... thanks", she said, as she caught the cape, wrapping it around herself. "I... I have no idea what happened. I just... I woke up a couple minutes ago, and... my wounds healed, and my leg was there. And... well... I somehow managed to break a solid, steel chain with my bare hands. I don't know what happened, nor why", she explained.
Frowning, she insisted: "...But please, answer me! Are you with Tatsumi-kun? Is he safe?"

"The runt's fine, just traumatized, he's with us because SOMEONE thought he'd make a good recruit." Gatsu barked climbing up.
"Yeah come with us, and you'll be able to see him." Leone said as Bulat picked up Ieyasu's body over his shoulder.

Sayo nodded, following along with a saddened look at Ieyasu's body.
"...A good recruit for what? ...The army?" she asked.

"You wish... We are Night Raid, you've just been drafted as an assassin." Gatsu said smirking.

"Night Raid... an assassin", she repeated, still busy making sense of all that had happened. "...Aria's family... it was... protected by soldiers. They were members of the Imperial Army, weren't they?... Why... why are those... those despicable monsters protected by the army?" she asked darkly. "Why would they allow such horrible things?"

"That is the true face of the Empire kid." Gatsu said. "A corrupt Plutocracy where the rich and the powerful have free reign over their lessers to do what they wish."
