My Beginning After the End Downfall

Execution Pt. V

Eleanor Leywin

"El, where are you going?" Lilia asked me as I was about to leave the house, we were in. Aunt Tabitha and Uncle Vincent moved in with us since there aren't a lot of houses down here, and if Virion kept bringing people here, we would run out of room eventually.

"Oh, Veer was by the fire on the edge of the bunker by himself when I walked past earlier, I was going to go join him." I told her, then went on. "And with Lance Varay's execution, I figured I should be there with him, I thought he was going to leave, but he didn't to my surprise."

"I'll come with, you are right, we should be there with him." Lilia said, getting up and walking up to me, the girl that knew me since I was a baby was now only slightly taller than me.

"Okay." I said, walking out of the house with her and towards Virion. "I still can't believe that they are broadcasting her death, I get it though, they are showing the people that no matter who you are, if you disobey them, they will kill you."

"Yeah." Lilia said grimly. "It's sad, truly, and we need someone with her strength, our numbers are low, Veer's, Lance Bairon's, and Lance Aya's strength make up for that, but it won't in the long run." That's true, the fire pit could be seen, sitting around it sat two people now, it seems like someone else had the same idea.

"Speaking of Lance Aya." I said, looking at Veer and her sitting on the same log, her arm wrapped around him as they stared into the fire. The two of them were close, I knew that, so that's good for him, he is in a dark place right now. "Actually, maybe we should let them be, it could be good for Veer to spend some time with her alone."

"Are they close?" Lilia asked as we stopped, I forgot, she wasn't in the Floating Fortress at all, so she never saw the two of them together, training, joking, they bonded there.

"Yes, Aya is like a sister to him, he loves her like us." Lilia was like a sister as well, so it was a fair comparison, but I hope he loves me the most, I was his twin after all. "Come on, Boo is by another fire sleeping, we can go join him there."

"Alright." We turned towards another fire pit, more in the middle of the camp, more people were around it, but my bond didn't care, he just laid his body down and went to bed. "Lance Varay's execution is going to be broadcasted in an hour, right?"

"Yeah, I believe so." I said with a sad tone. "There are artifacts set up in the center of the bunker, the people who want to watch are already there, waiting, they don't want to see their Lance die, but they know they can't miss it for her sake." It was sad when you thought about it like that, we were in here safe, while they were out there about to kill a Lance, there was nothing we could do.

"I haven't been able to spend a lot of time with Boo." Lilia said, looking forward as my giant bear sat up and looked at us, sensing my approach. "He is so adorable; I just want to jump into his fur."

"You can, I do it all the time." I said with a smile. 'Boo, be nice to Lilia.' He gave me a head nod as we got closer to him, I looked around, there were some people still wondering about, gathering supplies they needed, or just walking around to think about things.

The two of us stopped in front of Boo and Lilia slowly placed a hand on his head. "Hey, Boo." She started rubbing his head, and it appeared that Boo liked it. "He is so cute, just like Arthur's bond." I froze as I went to sit down, did she not know that she is dead?

"Lilia, do you know what happened to her? Sylvie?" I asked, she removed her hand from Boo, he turned away, facing the fire as Lilia looked at me with a worried expression now, we told her that Arthur was in Alacrya, but we never said anything about Sylvie.
