~Love of Light and Darkness~

Chapter 5:~Brothers~

Celine sighed as she looked at Emersion's empty seat and the dining table. Emersion hadn't come out of his room since he had collapsed three days ago. She wanted to talk to him to find out what was wrong. She stood up from her seat and made a plate of food for Emersion before she left for his chambers.

When she reached the door, she carefully knocked on it. "Emersion?," she asked gently. She sighed deeply when she received no answer and entered the room. Emersion sat on his bed in complete silence, fiddling with his Eldstar. Celine walked over to him and sat down on the right edge of the bed. "I thought you might be hungry," she said gently. Emersion shook his head and Celine sighed and set down the plate on his nightstand. "Please, Emersion," she said gently, "You have to eat," And she put a gentle hand on his shoulder. Emersion pulled away and looked down. Celine could tell that he had cried. His eyes were red from crying. "Emersion," she said softly, "My child, what's wrong?," Emersion looked up at her weakly. "Do you think I'm evil?," he asked pitifully. Celine gently shook her head. "You are everything but evil," she answered, "You have a good and loving heart, Emersion. And I am grateful that I get to call you my son," Emersion smiled weakly and Celine hugged him tightly. "Let's eat something, okay?," she asked, "You have to be able to train if you shall be able to get your final Demon Hunter Rune. Demonic Power is only given to those who are full filled Demon Hunters," And Emersion smiled.

Emersion trained together with the others in his class. One of them being Blake. Celine was very impressed by Emersion's rapid development as a Demon Hunter and she knew that he would absolutely get his Demonic Rune by the end of this month. Emersion glanced towards the woods behind the Demon Hunters magical barrier and he sighed. The Demon Hunters were interrupted by a Demonic wolf storming into the area. Emersion for the first time in a long time used his magic to defend him and the other Demon Hunters.
Blake shot an arrow at the wolf and the wolf set off towards Emersion when it got hit by another magic blast. "Hey! Beastie! Haven't anyone taught you not to mess with the Dark Ones!?," A voice interrupted. Emersion looked up and saw his brother. Aldon smiled towards Emersion. "Missed me, little brother?," he asked teasingly. Emersion gave him a nod and they used their magic to kill the demon wolf. Celine took a step towards Emersion but stopped as soon as Aldon walked over to him. "See you've gotten some runes," Aldon smiled at Emersion. Emersion looked at his brother and sighed. "What are you doing here? Isn't father going to go mad when he realises you're gone?," he snapped, "You're the favourite son after all. And you've never cared so much for me either," Aldon sighed and looked down. "You really hate me so much?," he asked, "I'm sorry. I never realised how much harder and sad you really felt because of that. Because of what father did to mother. What he did to you. You always kept yourself away out of sight. You spent all the time in your chambers. I thought you wanted to be alone. I never thought you were so broken," And Emersion looked at him angrily and sadly. "Because you never even asked me if I was alright even when we saw each other during dinner. You never said anything to me," he explained, holding back his tears. Aldon swallowed and looked down. "I am sorry. If I would have known," he began. "But of course you couldn't!," Emersion snapped, "Just leave," And he turned to walk away. Aldon sighed sadly and started to sing,

[Verse 1: Aldon]
I wish I could have known what you
Were going through
I thought that you were fine
Why did you have to hide?

Emersion turned towards his brother and sighed and continued to sing,

[Verse 2: Emersion]
I didn't want to let you down
But now the truth must out
It's tearing me apart, hiding all my pain

[Pre chorus: Emersion, Aldon]
I really want to stay
And I will not stop you
Even though I've changed
We don't have to change

[Chorus: Both, Aldon, Emersion]
'Cause you're a part of me
And you can find me through the bound we share
Where our two worlds come to meet
I'll never be out of reach
'Cause you're a part of me so you can find me in the bound we share
You'll never be alone
No matter where you'll go
We can meet through the bound we share

[Verse 2: Emersion, Aldon]
Nothing can stay the same
My memories hunts me every night
Be proud of all your scars
They make you who you are

[Pre-Chorus: Aldon, Emersion]
I know you want to stay
But I will never really leave you
Nothing's gonna change
Even though we've changed

[Chorus 2: Both, Aldon, Emersion]
And you can find me through the bound we share
Where our two worlds come to meet
I'll never be out of reach
'Cause you're a part of me so you can find me in the bound we share
You'll never be alone
No matter where you'll go
We can meet through the bound we share

[Bridge: Emersion, Aldon, Both]
There are no more words left that I can say
And I know you've gotta find your place
But this is not the end? (no)
It's a part of who you are
Even when we are worlds apart
You're still with me
It will always be
You and me

[Chorus: Both, Aldon, Emersion]
You can find me through the bound we share
Where our two worlds come to meet
I'll never be out of reach (I'll never be out of reach)
'Cause you're a part of me so you can find me in the bound we share
You'll never be alone
No matter where you'll go
We can meet through the bound we share

And Aldon hugged his brother and Emersion hugged him tightly back. Celine smiled and glanced at her husband and Samira. "I think Emersion has already found his Bounded Sibling," she explained and Celine nodded. "Yes, he has," she smiled. Emersion broke the hug and looked at his brother. "Aldon, would you ever consider becoming Bounded Siblings?," Aldon smiled softly at his brother and gently took his brother's arm with his hand. "Emersion, I would like nothing more than to have you as my Bounded Sibling, brother," he declared and hugged him. "I should get back before our father finds out I'm gone," he explained, "But I promise, I will be back for your Demon Hunter ceremony, Emersion. And this is where you truly belong. With your own kind and a family who loves you," And he glanced at Celine and Eiran who smiled weakly at them. Aldon soon disappeared and Celine walked over to Emersion. "He is right, my son," she declared, "It's here you belong," And she hugged him slightly.
