The man peered upwards, there were guards heavily armed with rifles, and anti-magic rounds. Soldiers in mech-suits ready to pounce upon them at a moments notice. "This is the ultimate prison in the world. It is designed specifically for the Neoven Empires hardest to control. Some of it's occupants are monsters, demons, and humans with unique abilities divided among 3 different levels. You certainly had to do something to wind up with me in level 3. But you soul is pure for a half-demon. I also feel a familiar presence from you. Someone I have met before from long ago. I can also see something inside you that others cannot" he stated.
"Heh heh... Honestly. Their biggest mistake was placing you with me in this cell. I have no desire to leave this place. For when it is my time I will be free. But you. You have a power deep inside you that Dynastone cannot hope to repel. All demons even half demons have dormant non-magical strength and toughness. You are certainly a rare breed. I can tell by every fiber of muscle I can see that you have only just begun to discover this strength. You most likely have magic inside of you as well. What Element do you possess?" he asked curiously.
Yedo blinked for a moment not seeing the harm in revealing it as he stared down at his dynastone cuffs. "Gravity Manipulation" he stated.
"Darkness attribute magic. Fitting for a Demon. But Gravity manipulation is a very rare and high level skill of magic. Most demons possess either fire or darkness attribute magic. Beyond darkness is shadow magic and beyond that again is gravity. It takes a great deal of skill to master. Could you tell me more?" he asked.
"Um... sure... So far my range has been limited to within about 50 feet from me. I can't extend it any further than that" he explained.
"Hmm... I see. So you should have a high skill in personal gravity manipulation. This is not a bad thing if you know how you can use it. You don't necessarily have to raise or drop objects with gravity. You can manipulate you own. Make yourself light as a feather. Increase the power of your blows and your strikes. With even further skill you can concentrate your gravity magic into a ball in the palm of your hand and pull an enemy to you. Yes. Your magic is a powerful one and certainly one that can help you be free from here" he stated.
"Hey old man? How do you know so much? Why even bother helping me if you cannot escape?" he asked. "And for that matter who are you?" he added.
"Heh heh heh... I have lived a very long time young Yedo. I can tell from the aura you give off that your father was a demon. A powerful one at that. I remember him well in fact. His name is Moonreaper Cresentscar. Head of the Demon Knights from long ago. As for who I am it doesn't matter. I am choosing to stay here because it is my will. Just as it is your will to want to escape. Give me some time and I will help train you during the nights. I want a few of your years and in return you will be able to get free of this place" he stated.
"My Father?!! Mother never really spoke of him.... But I do want to be free. Please tell me as much as you know of my father" he asked.

Four Years Later

"Heh heh heh. It is time Yedo. I have confidence that you will make history upon our world. Are you sure you don't want to wait for nightfall? The guards thin out more after dark." spoke Mikhael.
"Yedo smiled, "I do not fear the guards any longer. I will show them all. I will not be caged. I foresee a great future that I will carve myself. I will go into the world and gather allies and become a great force in our world. I will make alliances but I will not war for revenge I wish to change this world for the better where all can be free. Stay back now. I pray thee well" he stated as he walked to the edge of the bars. He waited for a few of the guards to turn their gaze to him before he pulled his arms out to his sides snapping the Dynastone cuffs. Everything began to happen in slow motion as the cuffs hit the ground the Neoven guards began to open fire. Bullets started to rain down on Yedo bouncing off of his skin. His body was strong, even stronger than he could imagine. He grabbed the bars and pulled them open with ease. He then started to take off running. Red lights started flashing and the alarm began to ring. Mech-suits began to drop down from above turning towards him and firing more rounds. A gate closed in front of him. Despite his powerful body he began to feel the sting of the bullets starting to get to him. He quickly used his gravity magic and pulled the door open before slipping into the next section. Using his gravity magic again he became light on his feet as he used speed to move forward sliding underneath the next gate before it closed. Continuing forward he ran into some guards that had dropped down from level two on the stairs. They laughed gas canisters around him spewing forth a knock out gas. Again he boosted his speed as he pushed forward. The guards spraying everywhere as he left them in his wake. Quickly he started racing up the steps to arrive at the 2nd floor.
At the top of the steps of course there were more mech-soldiers waiting for him opening fire. He held up his arms using his gravity magic around him to increase the gravity in his area forcing the bullets to fly straight down to the floor in front of him. His magic was indeed powerful as it kept him safe from the barrage but he didn't want to race through another floor. changing the gravity he began to float upward to the ceiling as the spray of bullets began to strike him again. He did his best to ignore them while concentrating his strength punching into the thick steel of the ceiling and slowly prying it open. He hadn't realized how thick it was. But his strength helped him through it. He had to punch and pry his way through 3 feet of steel to get to the first floor.
Turning towards the direction of where the stairs would be for the second floor he saw another large group of armed humans. He then heard the earth shake next to him as a gust of air blew past him. Yedo turned around to see a very large mech-machine blocking his path. It was a class X model. The largest in the Neoven Empire and one of only a few ever made.
"Prisoner number 403825 surrender!!!" spoke a voice coming from the speaker box at the front of the large mech-machine. As it spoke a few compartments opened up revealing explosive shell canisters.
Yedo looked at them knowing even he wouldn't walk away from them as easily as everything else so far. He didn't want to admit it but he was quickly growing tired. His muscles were feeling sore and worn out. But this was their last line of defense. After that he would be free.
"This is your last warning!! Surrender or Die!!" spoke the voice. The guards stayed back. They kept their distance while half bent down with their guns up and another half stayed up with guns up. More reinforcements began to arrive behind them.
Yedo took a deep breath, "I came here over 4 years ago. You humans have repeatedly opressed me. I am not Prisoner Number 403825. My name is Yedo. Yedo Cresentscar. I am a Half-Demon more powerful than any before me. I will escape this inescapable prison. If you stand in my way it is you who will die!!!" he shouted.
As he finished his speech the giant mech-machine opened fire bombarding Yedo with explosive canisters. The area Yedo stood was engulfed in concussive fire. In that instant the mech-machine flew backwards crashing through the titanic sized iron gate blowing the doors wide open. In turn the mech-machine exploded. A cold breeze erupted from the now open gate as fresh air flew into the prison. The guards looked in disbelief as the fire slowly dispersed from around Yedo. blood was dripping onto the floor as they looked upon him.
One of the guards looked completely in disbelief as he witnessed exactly what happened. It raced through his mind as he concentrated gravitation energy to his left and right hands. Using his left hand he drew the canisters to it letting his arms take the brunt of the damage while he used the gravitational energy in the right to make a solid punch of force into the mech-machine resulting in the devastation before him.
Yedo winced slightly as a little more blood spewed to the ground. His left arm was gone all the way up to his shoulder. The clothing he wore had been burned off of his body. He still had some magical energy left as he started to walk forward at first until he heard the sound of guns loading and ready to fire. He held his left shoulder with his right hand as he concentrated his power again to his legs and took off out into the cold. Just as soldiers began to move out after him a snow storm began to erupt seemingly out of nowhere.
A figure on a nearby cliff watched from his vantage point as the boy ran from the inescapable prison. The young looking man watched through his one revealed blue eye, his other eye hidden under a shawl of red hair. The male was thin looking with two large ice dragon wings on his back. He began to speak aloud to himself, "Destiny is a funny thing. Everything happens for a reason" he said as he began to stand.
"Well I guess Moonreaper owes me a favor now" he said to himself as his wings unfurled and he took off into the sky disappearing into the storm.
