IN SECTION SIX'S MEDICAL DIVISION, ONE OF THE WARDS. FRIDAY, 2 DAYS AFTER WEDNESDAY

Yuuno's head throbbed painfully, and he was drifting in and out of consciousness. He remembered something that happened when he was about seven years old.

There he was standing in an enclosed dark room, with his hands bound in chains to the ceiling.

The place reeked of decomposed rubbish; it was unbearable. He saw a woman in front of him, her right hand holding a whip, with a dark purple emerald embedded on the handle.

"Little boy, if you tell me truthfully, you won't have to get hurt. Or else, you will be ruthlessly tortured," The woman spoke.

The woman stepped forwards and Yuuno took in the sight. The woman had her jet black hair all the way down to her waist, with dark purple eyes and fair skin. She was wearing a dark purple coat that reached to her ankles, a matching black shirt and pants that showed off her body.

"Now, entertain me with your enormous power. The power to control the Lost Logia items," The woman crackled.

"I was told not to use my power in front of strangers like you!" Yuuno glared at the woman.

"Hm? I guess sweet talking doesn't work with you," The woman hissed.

She brought up her right hand, and swept the whip down hard on the little boy. Yuuno yelped in pain, and his chest was bleeding from a whip mark. The woman continued a few more whips, and ceased the whipping.

"Now show me your power, or I won't show you any mercy!" The woman ordered.

Yuuno did not budge and merely stood there, his green eyes boring anger and stubbornness into the dark purple eyes of his torturer.

"Why you! I'll whip you until you show me!" The woman raised her voice, enraged.

With each sounding whip, Yuuno howled and screamed in agony. The woman whipped Yuuno until she was panting heavily, and her whip was bloodied by Yuuno's blood.

Yuuno's clothes were stained crimson red; he had whip marks all over his body. He was bleeding all over his body, blood oozing profusely out of the multiple wounds.

"Hmph, I'll come back tomorrow and ask you again. You better cooperate with me, or I'll whip you til you're half-dead." The woman stormed out of the room, her high heels making noise as she stepped out and closed the big vault door.

Yuuno forced himself not to cry, as the salty tears would sting his wounds and increase the tremendous amount of pain he was feeling. He created a green magic circle under his feet, and with a Chain Bind, he crushed the chains that held onto his wrists.

He fell down head first to the ground, and he struggled to bring himself up. With a last effort, he teleported himself out of the terrifying place.

The young boy could feel his life draining away with each passing minute; he needed to find someone who would help him. He was in the middle of a forest when he teleported himself out. He could not afford to close his eyes; he knew he would sleep forever and never wake up again.

The four year old Yuuno was in a pitiful sight; his hair was covered with dirt and dust. His clothes were ragged and caked with dry blood. With each step he took, he was wasting time and energy.

That woman with the whip might chase after him and he would have to be whipped mercilessly again. Gathering all of his magic power, he created a large magic circle. He called upon the nearest Lost Logia artefact he could sense.

The Lost Logia artefact responded immediately to his call; the magical staff that was being buried to the ground emerged, glowing with magical power. The Scrya Clan was nearby, digging the ground for hidden artefacts. All of them stared at the magical staff with wonder; it had appeared out of the blue moon.

The staff released an energy wave, and flew to the direction of Yuuno. The Scrya Clan followed closely behind, and they were stunned to see the little boy on the ground, covered with whip marks.

The Scrya Clan brought the boy back to their camp, and all those that could use healing magic commenced the healing on the little body. The Chief of the Scrya Clan looked at the young boy, and the staff lying still on the ground.

When they had reached the boy, the staff stopped glowing and remained still. The Chief then sealed the artefact and brought it back together with the fallen boy.

After a week of continuous healing, Yuuno finally regained consciousness. His whip marks were all gone, and his clothes had changed to a simple plain shirt and pants. He was wrapped in thick blankets and he felt safe and warm. He was lying in a tent, and he could hear voices outside.

The young boy got up slowly; a wave of dizziness swept past him and he was weak. Just then, a kind-looking middle-aged woman stepped into the tent, and gasped. She rushed to the boy's side, and pressed him gently back into the snug bed.

She told the boy to wait there, and dashed out. The woman came back with a bunch of elderly people. Four old man with grey hair and beards and one of them with a necklace of beads around his neck. Four elderly women with gentle looks on their faces accompanied them.

Yuuno studied the elderly people with green innocent eyes. The four elderly women began healing the little boy while the old man with the necklace of beads spoke.

"What's your name, boy?" He asked gently.

"Yuuno," Yuuno said.

"Yuuno. That's a nice name," He smiled, smoothing the soft hair of the boy.

Yuuno smiled, and he asked, "What's your name, kind old man?"

The middle-aged woman leaned forward and was about to say something to Yuuno when the elderly man stopped her. He shook his head and answered the boy.

"I don't have a name. Why don't you give me a name?"

"Then, can I call you Grandpa? I don't have a Grandpa, or a Grandma, or a Papa, or a Mama, and you are so nice to me," Yuuno replied naively.

The elderly man laughed and patted Yuuno's head affectionately.

"All right, you can call me Grandpa. From now on, you belong to the Scrya Clan. You'll have lots of Grandpas, Grandmas, Papas, Mamas, and siblings. Your name would be Yuuno Scrya, okay?"

"Okay!" Yuuno grinned.
