The Twelve Scions Chapter 79: Trust
Lars had seen the splendor that was Castor - Pollux in holiday brochures advertising it, so it was truly a shame that when he got there, the pure white buildings and artistic architecture of Castor - Pollux had engulfed in a calamitous scene of fires, smokes and people screaming. He was just about to had it with all the pesky VEIL and Silver Sovereigns by then.Thankfully, Lars was still sensible enough to regroup with his allies first at the Librarium of Records. Looking at it with his newfound knowledge, Lars couldn't believe the mountain of white buildings before him turned out to secretly housing a mystical pyramid structure underneath all that civilization.The hidden pyramid was called the Librarium of Records, and as the name suggested, was said to hold every records of every single thing that exists or happening in the world. The known and the unknown. It was traditionally guarded by the Scion of Castor - Pollux as its sole librarian. There was a tinge of melancholy that La
The Twelve Scions Chapter 80: The Lost Name
"Who's Len?"The question was unanswered, and the silver scaled young man was starting to get irritated. His siblings, Clione and Axylia, were bathing on a clear pool of silver light, the Silver Spring. Their bodies were slowly regenerating and the boils on their skins closing. When they first arrived, their condition was much worse with half their heads almost completely melted off."Some chick earlier also called me Margaret.""Don't listen to them," Axylia said. "They're probably remnants of your old, feeble lives. You two are Prophets now, Clione and Ophinael. That's all that matters."Ophinael. Yes, his name was Ophinael now, he thought. However, the name 'Len' intrigued him very much. It felt natural coming out of his mouth. He pondered about it, and then thought of how the guy he fought earlier in Al Tarf was almost identical to him."He has... my face.""Of course he has your face, he's your brother."It was from someone who came from the cave, the one they called
The Twelve Scions Chapter 81: The Evacuation
Lars and Vorpaltinger were riding on the Astral Express into Antares. Their mission was to evacuate everyone in the northern regions of La Shania Mirepa, and this made Lars anxious, being entrusted such large amount of lives to be responsible for. He kept fidgeting his feet and fiddled on his star necklace, seeking comfort from Alt'ma in his mind."You're good?" Vorpaltinger asked."Yeah, just... preparing myself."Lars threw Vorpaltinger a little smile, but instead replied with a sad look in her eyes, which was aptly suitable with the gloomy blue filter of Astral Realm. Lars quickly suspected what was it that she was going to say."I'm sorry about your brother. I heard about it from Mell a while back.""Thanks." Lars maintained his smile. "By the way, you don't have to feel like you owe anything to me. I know you did your best."Vorpaltinger was stunned to hear that. Lars had known about it for a while, that Vorpaltinger kept addressing Len's situation and went out of her
The Twelve Scions Chapter 82: Determination
At the end of the day, there were only so much people that could or willing to be evacuated. Lars watched the people entered the blue smoke entry to Astral Realm with the look of hesitation, suspicion, thankful, or somewhere in between. No matter how great their intentions were, it was only natural for people to be wary of them, so Lars forgive those looks.The ghost train of Astral Express was most people's first experience of supernatural transportation, so it was to be expected most of them looked around in awe. Some, on the other hand, was left feeling nauseous or too on guard to be impressed. Lars was told by Vorpaltinger earlier that astral energy could have debilitating effects for some people, but it was objectively better that than dying by rampaging alien creatures.During the train ride, Lars found Tirana sitting by herself. He gave her a smile. "Hey, Tir. How are you holding up?""I'm alright." Tirana stared off into the distance. "I... I met Margaret."Lars blinked
The Twelve Scions Chapter 83: The Still Sea
With the force field containing it, the sea around La Shania Mirepa turned eerily still. The waves no longer came ashore and so did the wind, leaving only stagnant salty air. As someone who liked beaches in the summer, this sad, unnatural scene broke Lars' heart to pieces.Lars gazed at the little black line in the horizon that was Piscium region and tried to remember how long has it been since his last visit there. He remembered its warm sandy beaches and shady palms, but he was too young when they had a vacation there, so he couldn't think of much else. Perhaps Len remembered more, he thought."Hey, when was the last time you go there?"Mell stopped his beer - chugging and scratched his beard, looking up. "I don't know, man. It's been ages, I think. Out of the twelve regions in La Shania Mirepa, only Piscium that I don't tamper with too much. I'm kinda lazy to cross over the sea."Lars nodded and hummed. He turned to Wilhelmina but she didn't answer, which he found odd as she
The Twelve Scions Chapter 84: The Black Thorns and the White Beast
When Lars arrived at Castor - Pollux, he saw Vayu stood at the sundial plaza on the peak of Librarium, watching as the sky darkened. The smokes blended in with the darkness, but the fires that caused them became only more prominent. Lars landed near Vayu and greeted him with a smile."Hey, how's the evacuation going?" Vayu asked."It went well. Mell and Wilhelmina are on their way here now with the depthdweller clans. I just went ahead because... you know, I can fly."Vayu chuckled. "Did we got all of them? Coral Coven, Slicerfin and such?"Lars lost his smile as he shook his head. "There aren't many who can go with us on the land, and they've lost a great number of their clan members already.""Oh... well, I guess that should be expected.""How about here? How's the fortification thing going?""We haven't even started, bud. We're waiting until all the Alliance is here."Lars didn't want to look stupid so he just nodded along, pretending he knew why. During the discussi
The Twelve Scions Chapter 85: Till The End of Times
It was only after things truly settled down that Lars could take a more casual stroll to appreciate the wonder that was Librarium of Records. For the past two days, he had been busy with the evacuation and didn't have time to unwind. Although, he actually still didn't, as the battle will soon to commence and he was running out of time.In his spare time, Lars often haunted the spiraling corridors of the Librarium. The records were kept in runes all over the walls and to access them required aether energy tuning of a Scion. Vayu had kindly taught Lars how to did that and since then, he began his tireless journey of scouring the records to undone Len's condition.Lars touched a white rune symbol on the wall and it lit up, flooding his brain with words and information. He didn't fancy the numbing feeling it caused, but he tolerated it for Len's sake. He had looked through almost everything regarding the Silver Devils - or VEIL in VERSE - and learned more than necessary about nearly ov
The Twelve Scions Chapter 86: Dawn of War
The sky was still dark when they left Librarium, and the air was bitingly cold, too cold for summer. It made Lars wondered whether it was an ill omen, but he put that thought away as quickly as it appeared. He looked over behind and he reminded himself that he wasn't alone and it will be alright. He watched as the Alliance marched towards the impending battle against the Sovereigns under the guise of early dawn.Lars was in the sky, standing on top of floating red poppy platform. Rachelia navigated its flight as she enjoyed her prim and proper breakfast, served by Wilhelmina. On the other side, Mell and Vayu played some poker instead. Lars couldn't believe in tense moment like that, they could still act so casual like they were heading for a picnic, not a war."You guys are really something else," Lars muttered.Rachelia made a slight chuckle, apparently hearing Lars. "It's good to lighten up first and clear your head of unnecessary worries, you know?""Yeah, we know who we're
