Ancient War - TBATE

Aurora

Virion Earlith -PoV-

This man was Zedd's father? It would certainly explain his strength, the one thing I don't understand is how Zedd is winning, his father looks much older meaning he has a lot more experience.

"Please Aurora, just let me end this war so we can avenge our people." Zedd's father pleaded.

"I'm not going to let you ruin people's lives for something as vague as revenge." Zedd scoffed "Just what is your plan after killing off the asura? Living a normal life without worries?" Zedd added on.

His father didn't respond as he looked deep in thought, looking back up at Zedd he smiled and said something inaudible, as soon as he finished talking purple and black flames engulfed his body and tore it apart.

Zedd looked solemnly at the ashes of his father and flew up to us, Zedd's clothes were torn apart he was bleeding heavily, as he landed he held his hands up to signify that he comes in peace, as he withdrew his bloodlust.

"I apologize for what my father did." He apologized.

"Please get Sylvie and Tessia to a meeting room so I can explain what happened." He requested.

-----------
Although what he said was a request, all of us took it as an order after all he was probably the most powerful person we've seen, as soon as Tessia and Sylvie entered the council meeting room they drew their swords out and got ready to strike him down.

"Now that you're all here, please take a seat." Said Zedd his expression showing that he was nervous, not afraid of Sylvie and Tessia pointing their weapons at him.

Seeing that Sylvie and Tessia were not lowering their weapons, I intervened.

"Calm down, little one. Lower your swords." I attempted to calm her down.

"How can I calm down after what he did?" She said with tears in her eyes as Sylvie raised her sword ever so slightly.

"While what happened to Arthur is regrettable, that was not an action I performed." Stated Zedd.

"We both saw you give him that elixir, how is it not you?" Sylvie asked in an enraged tone.

"Those were the actions of my father when my brother and I were born I was the only one who would've lived past infancy, both my brother and I were born with an asuran body-- of a dragon no less." He explained.

"Given the fact we both were born with mana core, my father extracted my brother's mana core..." He added on his expression full of hatred. "He used my brother mana core to create a new type of cores. He also fused his mana core with my own to give me more power than an asura could ever hope for." He explained his expression full of disgust.

"During that process, he gave up his body and fused his personality and memories into my own. In the room, I was the only one left alive after my mother died giving birth. A human with a dragon physique and thousands of years of my father's memories."

Looking around the room I could see everyone looking at Zedd or the floor with a disgusted and sorrowful expression, although Tessia and Sylvie did slightly lower their weapons they were still ready to attack.

"Then how are you alive? Even if you had memories of the last living ancient mage you were in a toddler body." King Glayder asked with suspicion.

"You can thank a traitorous alacryan spy for that, thanks to her taking me in I didn't have to be absorbing mana all day long to survive." He added on.

"Is Zedd your name or the name of your father?" Sylvie asked.

"That is the name of my father, my name is Aurora." He answered
