My Beginning After the End

His Return Pt. II

I was standing in front of the portal, that led to the dungeon I was going to. My parents, Ellie, Elder Virion, and Aldir, were all here to send me off. I had my cloak over my armor, my mana ring full of blood, food, and extra stuff. If I was not a Blood Deviant, having blood in the mana ring would be very weird, but I was, and this made it easier to use my magic.

"Virion, stay safe in there." Aldir told me with a head nod.

"Yeah, Virion, make sure to watch over Tessia as well." Elder Virion patted me on the shoulder. "Good luck."

"Thanks." I nodded to them both.

"I love you, make sure to eat well." My mother hugged me. "And don't do anything stupid."

"Love you too." She let me go, and my dad came up. "Love you too, dad."

We hugged. "Love you, remember, tell the Twin Horns hi for me."

"I will." I turned to Ellie, she looked mad, of course she wanted to come with me. "Ellie, you'll join me in the field one day."

I walked up to her, and I hugged her. "Don't die, brother."

"Ha." I laughed as I backed away. "That is some pep talk, El." I smiled at her and made my way to the portal. "I'll see you all soon." They all sent me a smile as I stepped through, and into the base of the dungeon.

Standing there, waiting for me, was Helen. "Veer, you're here."

"Helen, it's good to see you." I said as I approached her.

"How have you been?" She asked me as we started to walk through the base. I received a couple of glares from the fellow soldiers and adventurers, which I understood, I was a kid.

"I've been good, how about you?" We stood in front of the main tent I assumed; it was the largest one. The Commander should be named Drogo, I'm like pretty sure, it may be like Draco or Dragon, I don't know remember.

"Ehh, we were involved in a skirmish with Alacryans the other month, but other than that, pretty good." Helen smiled, and then opened the tent flap, then we both walked in. "Drogo, this is Virion Leywin."

A bulky guy with red hair turned to me, and his eyes went wide. "This is the boy who supposedly killed a hundred Alacryans?" Helen nodded her head as I stared at him. "Virion, it's a pleasure." He walked up to me and held out his hand.

"Commander Drogo, right?" I took his hand and shook it.

"Firm handshake for a kid." I pulled my hand back and he took a step back. "I was told you were going to be staying with the Twin Horns, but you have free range to go into the dungeon whenever you want."

"That's what I've been told." I shrugged. "I probably won't go in today."

"Okay, if you need anything, come to me." Drogo told me. "Make yourself at home as best you can, we are going to be here a while."

"Maybe not." I turned away from him, Helen joined me, and we walked out. "He seems cool." I told her as we started walking toward the Twin Horn's tents.

"Yeah, he's a fellow adventurer." I knew that from the novel. "And he was quite a good one."

"I bet." I said as Adam and Jasmine came into view. "Tess's team is here too, where's their tent." In the novel, the day the Twin Horns arrive, is the day that everything happens really, but they are early because of me. Elder Virion moved them here to keep me safe, which was not needed.

"Over there." She pointed at a tent that had nobody there at the moment. "I think they are in the dungeon."

"Oh." I answered as Jasmine and Adam stood up and looked at us as we approached them. "Hey, Adam, Jasmine."
