Its been a few weeks after Qurin was released form the amber. Varian was exstreamly clinging which didnt bother Qurin at all. He liked having his son with him, he liked hearing Varian talk about Alchemy, the inventions he has created and the ones he plans to make. He made a promise to Varian that he would be more open with him, to let him know how he feels. That he loves him, that he is proud of him. It really hurt Qurin when he found out that Varian thought that he wasn't proud of him, that he viewed himself as a disgrace and that he has disappointed him. That everthing he ever did was to get the approval of his father. Qurin knew he needed to tell Varian about where he came from, it was only right after all.
"Varian, I need to talk to you about something" Qurin yelled from the main floor to the basement where his son's lab was.
"Comming" Varian turned off his burner and removed the beaker and placed it on the table. Varian ran up the stairs meeting his father in the main room, Qurin was sitting on the couch with a worry face. This got Varian scared, while he knew nothing was going to happen to him, he still had a fear that the guards will come and take him away, he would have nightmares about it all the time.
"H-hey dad. Is everything ok? Am I going to be ok?" Qurin knew about the fear Varian had and he dispised that Varian has now learned to have a fear of the guards, fear of not being protected and safe.
"No, Varian you are safe, like I said, nothing is going to happen ok. They will have to get though me first" Varian smiled at that, thinking that his dad could beat a bunch of trained guards, but the sentiment did make him feel safe.
"Dad, I love you, but I dont see you beating a bunch of trained guards in combat" Qurin chuckled a little. Oh if he only knew.
"Thats actually a great segue to what I want to talk about son" Varian was intrigued and sat across from his dad.
"Varian I promised you I would be honest. That I wouldn't keep any secrets form you. While I have told you almost everything, there is one thing that I haven't and you deserve to know." Qurin was looking at Varian wondering if he would feel hurt that he didn't say anything earlier, but no facial exsprtions of that sort were made. Varian nodded, wanting his father to continue with the story.
"Before I meet your mother, before I lived in Old Corona, I lived in the dark kingdom" Varian's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his head.
"WHAT! Like the same one Rapunzel, Cass, Eugene and Lance went to. The one where Eugene meet his dad? The one that... that was covered in black rocks?" Varian realized that his dad knew much more about the black rocks then what he even tough. He dealt with them before. Qurin nodded.
"Yes, I and three others Adria, Hector and Edmond were all swear to protect the moonstone. We were called the brotherhood, were were professionally trained fighters." Varian couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"So you are all siblings? And also is brotherhood a little, I don't know sexist for the fact you had a sister" Qurin chucked.
"Adria would agree with you on that, and honestly I don't know why we called it that, I guess siblinghood doesn't have the same ring to it" Varian laughed at that. Qurin loved hearing his son laugh, it warmed his heart to see him happy.
"You kind of know the rest, Endmand went to grab the stone to destroy it, a shockwave broke and black rocks grew, causing my brother Edmond to abandoned Eugene."
"WAIT! If Edmond is your brother, would that make he is my uncle? If thats a yes then Eugene and I are cousins!"
"well, your not blood related, but I think Edmond would love to be an uncle and Adria I think she would secretly love to be an aunt and I don't know about Hector" Varian just stared at his dad for a few moments. He found it so shocking that a farmer could secretly kick some butt. Like he could take the guards down.
"Thanks for telling me dad. Now I'm going to go tell Eugene we are cousins!" Varian jumped up and ran out the door and ran all the way to the castle. Qurin smiled at the the open door that Varian forgot to close. He was worried that Varian would change after he herd what happend when he was in the amber. The only thing he noticed was he was a little more guarded, but other then that he was basically the same Varian. He couldn't wait till Adria and Hector meet him, he knew that Varian had the power to melt their hearts. That the two worriers who acted like they had a stone heart would fall in love with their nephew, how could they not; he's a bundle of joy.
