The Twelve Scions Chapter 21: Revelation of Scions
"Good morning!"Vayu's burst of fervor caught Lars and Len by surprise. They jolted out from the bed almost immediately and instinctively clutched the blanket to cover their naked upper halves."W - What the... how did you get in?" Lars said in incredulous frown."Please." Again, Vayu waved it off as if the answer was already so obvious. "Y'all missed the breakfast time, by the way."Len stretched and cracked his neck. "You were here but you didn't wake us up?""But y'all were sleeping so soundly. I don't have the heart to disturb you." Vayu sat on the edge of the bed and playfully patted Len on his foot. "That, and because I turned into this blondie here earlier. Thanks for the free breakfast!"Lars shook his head in disbelief and heaved a conceded sigh. Vayu was too much for him to bear in the morning but he quickly took it aside. Lars was rather preoccupied by the fact that Len didn't wake up early as usual. He must be really spent as well, Lars thought.Vayu casually
The Twelve Scions Chapter 22: Energy Alchemy
It was a week since their picnic in the Garnidelia, and things had been great with Lars and Len. Lars began training with Vayu on the deeper, more secluded parts of forests in Antares. He always came back by nightfall, bringing dinner and a proud smile as every day he got better grasp of his powers. Len was truly happy watching the development.To show his support, Len also strived to make himself better equipped in handling their now fantastical lives. He had been spending his time with Tirana on the workshop, learning VEIL compendium that disclose every fine details of them, ranging from abilities, weak spot, attack patterns, hunting habits and more.While he studied of VEIL, he also took his spare time learning alchemy from Tirana. He got the basics covered in theory, but to practice them was an entirely different matter. It was only two days prior when Len almost spilled an enhanced nitric acid on himself, which could instantly decay his skin to the bones. Tirana was wary of hi
The Twelve Scions Chapter 23: A Forlorn Future
On a sleepy forest in the middle of nowhere, but somewhere in Antares still, there was an enormous hexagonal prism being erected. The prism was undetected to human eyes, but to any other animals, its mesh of colors was like oil on water. Birds flew circling or over it. Animals scurried about to avoid it. They all cleared the way, for a battle between higher beings was in place within the prism.The prism was Vayu's creation, originating from delicate rainbow strands that came out of his fingertips. Vayu claimed to Lars that his Scion Weapon, Arcus Ignis, consisted of divine threads that completely shrouded his body, allowing him to shapeshift his appearance and creating virtually any object he desired from it. It was with this weapon that Vayu created a cage for Lars to fight Chimeras.Lars was flying in the sky, making a sharp turn to evade the giant horned frog that spitted burning acid. The acid made a sizzling noise and melted upon hitting the prism wall. Lars couldn't imagine
The Twelve Scions Chapter 24: Stagnancy
On a particularly lazy Sunday, summer rain swept Antares. Len took a break from alchemy lessons and Lars was the same with his power training, so the group were just hanging out together in their room. Tirana was occupied by her romance novel, Vayu and Len were playing video games from their phones, and Lars settled to his most favorite activity, sleeping. Or at least he tried to."Hey," Lars called out lazily.The three made a chorus hum to respond without turning away from their pages or screens. Lars got up and scratched his head, hair completely messy. He had re - dyed his hair back to dark brown because he didn't get the chance to experienced it more since his resurrection as a Scion. In fact, Lars' new predicament started since then and he felt it amplified more and more each day."I've been having trouble sleeping, lately. I don't know why.""You still have nightmares?" Len asked, still playing."Not really now, no."Vayu still mashed the buttons on his phone screen
The Twelve Scions Chapter 25: Catching Up
"Skylar? Skylar Sykes, is that you?"Lars' eyes widened. He hadn't been called his actual, let alone full name, for quite some time. Especially rather because he was only referred as that by mere acquaintances or family members. He turned around and saw who it was, much to his surprise.A tall young man stood by the Angel's Snack door, smiling ear to ear. He looked much different than how Lars remembered him. He used to be a brunette, but now his hair turned dirty blond. The suede cornflower blue suit he was wearing was a major improvement than his usual unkempt - clothes - wearing self that Lars remembered him by."Hey Brodie, it's been a while, man," Lars said, greeting the young man with casual, swung handshake."You know, at first I wasn't sure, but that hoodie looks familiar. How's it going with you?""All good here," Lars said. "What about you, man? What brings you here?""Just a little business trip," Brodie said. "I finally got a job now! I'm working at the MSC. I w
The Twelve Scions Chapter 26: The Ghost Train
"Duncan," Lars hissed.Lars was reminded of how the man before him so callously slaughtered innocents and his blood boiled. The man himself, Duncan, was smiling but not with friendliest of intentions. It was a smile one would make before engaging in a fight, and Lars could tell Duncan was itching for it."Why are you here? You're supposed to be put away right now!"Duncan sneered. "Kid, you done really messed up involving yourself in something you shouldn't, and you all will pay for it.""I... I don't understand," Len stammered. "H - How did you know... about us?""Hah. Don't worry about it."The people in their cart cleared off, and the door slide shut. Lars took Len aside get closer to him. He realized they made a trap out of a cart in the train. Lars was astonished yet also terrified they could pull this kind of string just to get rid of something."Lars, what do we do?" Len asked in a whimper."Vay, can I - ""Only if without using you - know - what, because techn
The Twelve Scions Chapter 27: Moonless Night at 13th
"Len, wake up! He's doing it again."Len hadn't even fall asleep when Lars so rudely shook him around. He got up and watched Lars peeking outside through the blinds of their room window. This had been quite an obsession of Lars for some time, and Len was none too happy about it."Maybe he just going off to the bar or something.""No, he's definitely going to that place again tonight." Lars rushed to the wardrobe, quickly grabbed his black leather jacket and threw Len a few hoodies. "Come on, quick! Let's follow him! You don't have any reason to say no now."Len grumbled but he put on his dull gray hoodie anyway. Before then, he could always hide behind the pretense of needing to sleep early for school, but since they have recently graduated, Len had no excuse. Hence, that night, Len decided to humor Lars' obsession for once.Lars and Len lived in a modest suburban neighborhood of Algedi outskirts. That means their nights had been mostly quiet and people always knew whose car
The Twelve Scions Chapter 28: Unfinished Business
"Wow, honestly, y'all really do be asking for it."Vayu's little remark was met with a playful jab by pouting Len. Lars was entertained with that though, and his little chuckle showed that. Before Antares, everything was such a mess in their family and it snowballed from the death of their father.Lars was spacing out so Vayu slightly tilted his head to found his eyes. "So are you going to run for the next... I don't know, a hundred years later? When those people who chase you would be too old by then?"Lars hummed, his eyes slowly darted everywhere. "What do you suggest we do?"Vayu made a neck slicing gesture that successfully froze Lars in place. If Lars had to admit, that dark curiosity intruded his mind sometimes, but never once he thought of actually doing it."B - But I thought you said - ""Well, exception definitely applies if someone put us in jeopardy.""I'm not sure I can do that," Lars said. "Have you?""Way before I'm a Scion, even. It's just the good ole'
