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
The Twelve Scions Chapter 42: Dark Earth
Somewhere northwest of Mt. Alnath, a battle took place which Mell heard by his feet. He looked at Rachelia and Claros who had been waiting for such signal and they nodded in unison. Mell stood before the invisible force field and closed his eyes.In his head, Mell saw the pattern of leylines. Green and gold, swirling in the darkness beneath his feet. He tried to dig deeper into the dark and found a way in but he couldn't locate any. It took a while, but he found it. A single crack that could be their opening.Mell's eyes shot open, revealing his green tinted eyes back to the stark daylight. He placed his hand on his belt and pulled a great, amber colored lights out of it. The light energy materialized into Balor, his earthen mace.Mell knocked his Scion Weapon to the ground and the earth split open. The fissure grew deep into the darkness below and its rumbling stones sound still echoed. Mell looked to his three audience with a wide, proud smile."Let's dig in," Mell said. He k
The Twelve Scions Chapter 43: Mt. Alnath
"Both teams are in battles right now."Sophia's announcement perked Lars and Edwin up. She had been channeling her thoughts into smaller copies of her Scion Weapon, Oracle Orb, and she was practically in a trance the whole time. She could still hear Lars and Edwin talk about their favorite movies and occasionally pitched in, but otherwise she was quiet and her eyes closed."Alright, what's our next move?" Lars asked."Once the force field goes down, we'll head straight to Mt. Alnath. Lars and I will get to the peak chamber to aid Mell's team rescuing the Scion of Aldebaran. Edwin, you take care of the evacuation and heal the wounded. Got it?""Leave it to me," Edwin said.Lars, Sophia and Edwin were placed in reserve team due to a number of reasons. Sophia could use her skills to monitor the situation and prepare a safe evacuation route, Edwin was there because his Scion Force greatly involved healing and effects enhancements, and Lars was an addition to the last line of defe
The Twelve Scions Chapter 44: Precious Seconds
"What... are you saying?"Lars was stunned. He found it hard to believe why Sophia could make such suspicion towards a fellow Scion who supposed to protect La Shania Mirepa together. He couldn't even begin to think why a Scion would be working with Silver Sovereigns and VEIL."Look, this attack towards one of the prominent mythfolk settlements in Mirepa is not just done out of random impulse. This is a planned attack, meticulously thought out, and completely calculated. Something this big definitely has its coordinator.""You're saying the Scion of Aldebaran is that coordinator?""She has full access within Mt. Alnath. She could easily sneak VEIL in and the force field device when no one's looking. With the revelation of the cloaking alien material, it's even more probable they came in undetected by the mythfolks.""Anybody else could do that!""Lars, the mythfolks are suddenly attacked and all rounded in the tree chamber far below. They said the Scion, Hymnchanter, was def
The Twelve Scions Chapter 45: Screams in the Dark
Lars tried to listen intently of where the footsteps coming from. The voice that taunted him earlier was of a female, husky and reek of ill intent. Faint melody of a violin also echoed in the darkness, beautifully haunting and Lars knew was threatening."Hymnchanter Hectrias, is it? Why do you do this?""That's the only puzzle left, isn't it? The whys of everything." A low, mocking laugh traveled across the dark hallway. Lars clenched his teeth in annoyance. He regretted his decision and just wanted to get out of there, but he knew the second he'd make a move, whoever lurks in the dark will attack."What do you gain from this? Those are your people!""My people are a bunch of traditional idiots who can't see a better change for this world." The voice felt closer to Lars at this point. "That, and because I'm sick of your kind."Lars was even more on alert. However, he tried to stay calm and coaxed more of the Hymnchanter in case he learned something valuable. Although, Lars
The Twelve Scions Chapter 46: Storm of Sorrow
Finding Edwin to heal Sophia was Lars' utmost priority at that moment. He looked around but the heavy storm severely obstructed his line of sight. He was flying far enough to not sense anything from Mt. Alnath. Thunder crackled about above and around him.A loud boom ruptured the air. Great shockwave burst from somewhere and Lars saw something flew towards him in high speed. It was Hectrias, aggressively playing a violin and from every friction of the bow and the string, more visible slash waves launched across the sky.Lars maneuvered through the slicing waves and passed Hectrias by. He wanted nothing to do with her just yet. The mountain gained definition as Lars flew closer, hoping to sense Edwin somewhere. Just as Lars looked around, barrage of wind bullets stopped him from getting close."Goddamn it!"Lars' hot, furious breathings awakened Sophia who had been repeatedly passed out in his arms. She clutched her wound and moaned in pain. Lars was even more panicked seeing So
The Twelve Scions Chapter 47: The Fall
Len couldn't keep his eyes off Vorpaltinger. He was fascinated of seeing an actual mythfolk before his very eyes and that she was nothing sort of what he knew. He learned from Dar Lugal that Vorpaltinger was a woman of therianthrope descent, people with strong affinity to animals and capability to transform into the ones matching their spirit.Therianthropes, or as commonly called beastmen by some, tend to have a partial or full body transformation of one designated animal. Two would be a rare case and three is even more mythical. Vorpaltinger having the latter was something that completely blew Len away with sheer amazement."What?" She asked between munching her meals. Her rabbit ears slowly swayed."N - Nothing, I'm just... never seen someone like you before." Len was sitting across Vorpaltinger, watching her gluttonously devoured the meals Wilhelmina left for them."How come a mundane human like you got involved with all of this, anyway?""Oh, my brother was recently chos
The Twelve Scions Chapter 48: Candle in the Dark
"Len! Mom! Where are you, dammit! Len!"Lars searched high and lows for his family. He ran around Algedi trying to pick up any semblance of their presence. He went to MSC headquarters but stopped by the guards. He went back to their old home but found no one there. He even went to Brodie's apartment that he visited once but told by the landlord he had already moved out.Lars had no clue where to look. He was exhausted from all the running, panting and sweating. His muscles screamed at him to stop but he didn't listen. Lars wanted to fly but thankfully, he still had common sense to not reveal his Scion Force for the world to see. However, even if Lars wanted to fly, he was too spent for it."Len... Mom... "Lars' aimless search led him to a playground. It was late at night at the time, and the playground was completely dark. The night wind picked up and the swing's chains softly rattled. Lars took a seat on one of the swings, and he poured it all out in the darkness.That day
