My Beginning After the End Downfall

My Brothers

"What do you mean Arthur is gone?!" My father screamed at Helen and his other Twin Horn members. "What about Veer? You all just left him there?" He was in Helen's face, upset with them, but I think he was more talking to Lance Aya more than anything, because his eyes kept on darting from Helen to her.

Right now, standing in, well, a sort of circle was Jasmine, Tessia, Commander Virion, King and Queen Eralith, my mother, my father, Helen, Adam, Durden, Lance Aya, and me. We have been here for a good two or three hours, it was a lot, and is still a lot, we found out Tessia wasn't dead, and we just found out from Helen and Lance Aya news on the battle in Etistin.

"Rey..." Helen said, I looked at Lance Aya, then my mother stepped up.

"How could you all leave him?!" My mother stood now next to my father, but she wasn't backing down to the Lance who was standing there by herself, somewhat crying. "I understand Veer's clone said he would safe Arthur, and he would end up somewhere else to you, but how could you leave my boy there with three Scythes?!" She pleaded with Aya. "You left him there to fight three Scythes!"

"Don't blame her." Jasmine spoke up, stepping in front of my mother. "If you are going to blame anyone, it should be me, I was the one who went and got him, then brought him to Etistin, he told me he could handle it."

"He's twelve Jasmine, and you followed along with his plan!" My father added, I could tell both my parents were kind of mad, I was mad, both at the people her, but also Veer and Arthur, my brothers.

"And you!" My mother pointed at Tessia. "I know Arthur and you are close, super close, but how could you fake your death just because Veer told you too!" Tessia seemed to be crying a little, she was the first person that greeted us when we arrived, saying how sorry she was. "That is ridiculous!"

"Alice." Commander Virion said from next to Tessia who was looking at my mother with teary eyes, crying as well. "You know very well that if anyone can take on three Scythes and hold his own, it is Virion." He paused, nodded his head, then went on. "Yes, he might not be able to take them on, but he can distract them long enough to allow more people to survive the battle."

"That doesn't matter!" My mother screamed at Commander Virion, not caring who he was. "My two sons have been doing everything for this continent! We all know it, and I am tired of everyone putting everything onto their shoulders, I'm done with it!" She paused, tears flowing out of her eyes. "Veer made us hate him just to protect Tessia, he went crazy for us, he took on an army for us, Arthur did the same, took on horde, took on Retainers and Scythes, and all we ever do is sit here and allow them to do it."

Everyone was silent, my mother was right, she cares a lot for Veer and Arthur, I know this must be hard. She was mad at him for killing Tessia, we all were, but we knew it was because he was crazy, but now, Tessia was here, alive, she never was dead. He faked her death to protect her, that was what she told us, then Jasmine added that he wanted to change Agrona's sight from Tessia to himself.

"You are right." Aya said, speaking up for everyone. "You are right." She repeated herself. "We allowed them to do everything for us, there might have been people calling the shots, and I am not saying that it was bad, but we all allowed them to do what they wanted, in doing that, the two of them might be lost."

A person stepped up from our side and spoke. "No." We turned to the boy in silver armor, his ashy brown hair showing us exactly who he was. "Arthur and Virion are both alive, that isn't the issue is it, everyone?" The clone of my brother spoke looking at the Twin Horns and Lance Aya, my mother was already on him.

"Veer!" She hugged my brother, my father joining her. "Are you alright? What is going on in Etistin? Is everything alright? Where is Arthur?" She backed up slightly, holding her hand to the clone's face.
