The Twelve Scions Chapter 34: Insignificance
For a week, Len had developed a new habit during his stay in Lyme Belle Theatre. He always got up early in the morning when the sky was still pale blue, had a little jog in the forest path nearby, and ended up on the hill where his family used to go camping.On that hill, Len always sat on a specific fallen log to rest. In those moments of quietness, Len always enjoyed the chilly morning air as he watched the morning sun ascending. The hill overlooked a state road where it would lead back to Algedi outskirts or Rukbat few miles away south.Len recollected his pleasant memories of the hill every time he went there. He would remember the exact spot where his father would light their bonfire, which trees where his mother would put on their hammock, and how Lars and him always ran around there playing tag with uninhibited excitement.On that morning, it was slightly different than Len's usual routine as he got a company coming. His mother showed up from the forest path, her every ste
The Twelve Scions Chapter 35: A Sword's Name
Lars thrown off by a powerful attack and sent crashing on a giant stone pillar. Pain spread all over his back and the fall did the same on his front. He was dirtied by the settling dusts and rubbles. His clothes tattered and his breaths were in erratic rhythm.Two figures approached Lars with their weapons drawn. Mell was carrying a giant morning star mace that rested on his shoulder, the handle was redwood colored and almost as tall as his gigantic self was. The enormous spiky head was entirely made up of sharp stones and they glowed amber on every cracks. The stones looked oversized for its mace handle, making it almost like he was wielding a mountain on a stick to Lars.Next to Mell, Vayu was only wielding a long piece of cloth as a weapon, but it was the one that Lars scared the most. With Mell's mace, at least he could predict its swing and range, but he couldn't with Vayu. The rainbow glowed cloth was the battle form of Arcus Ignis that elegantly draped over Vayu, making an a
The Twelve Scions Chapter 36: A Rose and Her Winter
Lars woke up extra early that day. Part of him was giddy by the thought of finally meeting all of the Twelve Scions, and he wanted to make sure he made an impression. He put on the nicer clothes available which were a plain red shirt and a leather jacket. After he got dressed, Lars psyched himself up in the mirror.The star necklace that adorned Lars' neck and chest twinkled by the reflecting light and Lars took it as a sign it psyched him up as well. Despite never got to talk to Alt'ma again since that day, Lars was consoled by the fact the deity must be still watching over him either way."I won't let you down, Alt'ma." Lars whispered as he smiled.Lars got outside of his room and inhaled the crisp morning air that came from the big hole on the roof. Over time, the ambience of Lyme Belle Theatre really grew on him. He liked how spacious and quiet it was, but not to an unnerving state at all. Lars thought perhaps it was because he could felt Mell's presence all over the theatre
The Twelve Scions Chapter 37: Memorable Meetings
Lars found the gathering of Scions as something of an uncanny circumstance that noon. He knew how the Scions were mostly on their own but even during the gathering, it seemed to had their own factions. Rachelia and Wilhelmina went everywhere together touring across the Lyme Belle, Vayu were mostly with Lars, and Mell were alone and contempt enough with his beer drum."Hmm... I wonder what happened to them?""What is?" Len asked. He was playing a mobile game and paused it to listen to Lars."It's just that... they know each other for a very long time, and they may look like they're friendly, but I still can't shake off this feeling that they're so... estranged."Len hummed to contemplate. "Maybe it's because at the end of the day, they're on their own protecting their own region? I mean, they know their duty."That answer just got Lars thinking more. He thought of his newfound enhanced longevity and could already imagine how lonely it will be spending a hundred years fighting
The Twelve Scions Chapter 38: Conference of Scions
"Rach, if you will."Vayu nodded towards Rachelia and she took the cue. She snapped her fingers and the air surrounding the round table was distorted by dark rainbow. A magic circle appeared on the stage's wooden floor, enclosing the area around the meeting table of the Scions.Lars was in awe of the effects as it was his first time seeing a magic spell casted. He turned to Rachelia and the pretty little magus just winked playfully at him. He did not know what was the magic circle for, but if Vayu requested it, he deduced it must be for some precaution.Vayu cleared his throat and began raising his voice. "Recently, our new Scion of Regulus, Lars Sykes here, exposed a massive case of human trafficking in Algedi port. People are taken and delivered from here to global scale and presumably, also to the entire Mirepa. It is conducted by the inner circle of higher - ups in MSC, Mirepa Shipping Company."The Scions looked at each other and some shrugged, failing to see the significa
The Twelve Scions Chapter 39: Always Something Surprising
The rest of the day after the meeting was spent on drowning in papers with corporate lingo that Lars had absolutely no clue about. At first he put off checking it out because he figured it'd be a better when he did it with other Scions. As it turned out, Lars was just clueless and rather leave the analyzing parts to somebody else more competent.Over the week, Vayu, Mell, Len and Tirana had checked out the documents as well but found dead end in leads. Now that the Scions had gathered, there were hopes that the others could complete the puzzle in case they knew of something.On the round table, papers sprawled everywhere. Lars, Vayu, Rachelia, Sophia, Edwin, Alicia and Len discussed about the documents that sometimes led to a collective sighs of frustration. Mell was away putting back the container to the underground hall, Wilhelmina left to prepare lunch for everyone, Claros and Tirana discussed about the research on alien material, and Dar Lugal was still in Astral Realm, occasio
The Twelve Scions Chapter 40: The Missing Scion
The Scions' quiet afternoon was stirred by the arrival of an angel bearing bad omen. Vorpaltinger was one of the highly respected and most skilled guardians in Mt. Alnath, where a secret settlement for mythfolks was built in Aldebaran region. The rabbit - eared angel's tribal clothes were tattered and fresh wounds behind those cuts made Lars feared the news she brought."Hectrias... captured?" Claros asked in disbelief."Who's Hymnchanter Hectrias? A Scion?" Lars asked to Vayu but even his nod was uncertain. Must be another newer Scion the originals knew nothing about, he thought."Tell us everything," Rachelia commanded."I don't know how it started! Those Silver Devils suddenly jumped on us and wreak havoc! They somehow snuck in to our homes. I can't save everyone! I... I...""Deep breaths, Vorpal," Edwin said. "What about Hectrias? She couldn't stop them?""I don't know! Everything went to shit and suddenly I saw the Hymnchanter lying on the ground. I had to leave to war
The Twelve Scions Chapter 41: A Dance of Ice and Fire
The sun starkly shined and daylight still had a lot of time until it passed. Though Aldebaran region was mostly a vast mountain range where people aren't usually around, Vayu still wanted to be careful. He couldn't afford being seen attacking the invisible force field with his brightly burning flames."Damn it! This thing won't break!" Vayu shouted.Vayu had been blasting his flames from afar or pummeling with his burning fists, but the force field didn't crack in the slightest. Wilhelmina was not far behind him, but didn't share his enthusiasm to launch her attacks. She looked at the floating violet orb next to her and shook her head."We're not here to destroy it, remember?" Wilhelmina said.'Wilhelmina's right, Fox. We should just stick with the plan and get going.'Sophia's voice came from the orb as its violet light resonated every syllable. It was part of her Scion Force that allows her to disperse the orbs linked to her mind, allowing her to extend her telepathy range
