My Beginning After the End Downfall

Our Friends

Virion Leywin

"Veer, you were going to tell me something earlier." My mother said as we sat around the table, Seris and Cylrit weren't here, they were downstairs, in the lab, they knew what I was about to break to them. "Is this why your brought us all here?"

"Yes." I answered, looking at her, then turning to my father who was sitting across from me, my mother was sitting at the head of the table, which was funny, my sister was beside me. "Dad, mom, El, there has been an incident in Dicathen." I turned to my sister, her appearance clearly different from when we showed up here, the tips of her hair had changed slightly to a pearl color, and two small horns were on the top of her head.

"Incident? Is everyone okay?" My father asked, making me look back at him.

"Uhh, well, not exactly." I answered, then went on. "Everyone in the bunker is fine, but, I-I guess I'll say it." I started off, looking around the room at each of them while I spoke. "Aldir, the Asura, has attacked our homeland."

"What?!" They all exclaimed, their eyes widening, my mother spoke next. "Attacked where, who, and why?" I would laugh, but this was no laughing matter, it's just the sudden bombardment of questions.

"He destroyed the Wall, killing four thousand people, I got some of them out in time while the clones fought, then he attacked Elenoir, the Elven Kingdom does not exist anymore." It does, but, not really, there were about eighty thousand elves left, I saved as many as I could. "Millions dead, it was bad, really bad."

They didn't respond, they just took in the information, it was lot, hearing that a whole Kingdom was destroyed, I mean, I saw it coming, there really wasn't anything to do, with the real me gone, the clones were, well, I wouldn't say powerless, but outmatched by Aldir.

"Oh my god." My mother said, holding her hand over her mouth, my father was speechless, I turned to Ellie, she seemed both shocked and angry from the news, I get it, she now has power, she will want to use it, which makes sense.

"How is everyone in the bunker? I have to imagine that it is chaos in there, the Elven Kingdom being destroyed, Commander Virion has to be heartbroken, everyone was probably heartbroken." My father said, looking at the table, not at me, thinking about what he had just heard.

"They are taking it, not well, but well enough, that's pretty much how I would explain it." I told them, then went on. "Obviously, they aren't exactly the happiest, if you know what I mean, but I think in time they will use this anger to take back Dicathen." If my parents went back to the bunker, they will learn of what I had planned, me handing myself over, I felt bad not telling them, but it isn't a big deal, I have no intention of ever harm a family member, possibly, I don't know what the real me is thinking.

"We need to go back now!" Ellie said, standing up. "I've trained enough with Seris and Cylrit, I can help them, and they need you, Veer, they need the real you now." Ellie had a very serious look to her, she really wanted to join the war now. "I can handle a fight, mom, dad, you both can't hold me back any longer."

"We know, El." My mother said before I could speak. "I suppose you are right, though, I would rather stay, Veer has become a lot calmer, not wanting to fight as much, you still can get stronger, it's safe here, I just don't know, Rey?"

"I agree." My father said, looking at the two of us. "I agree with Ellie, I'm sorry Alice, but after an attack like that, they need Veer, and now, Ellie, I don't see a reason to stay here any longer, I understand we came to get Veer out of the war for a little, and just allow his clones to handle everything, but like you said, he is a lot calmer, so maybe it is time to return."
