My Beginning After the End

His Return Pt. VI

"Yeah, but I would keep that a secret, like I said, I don't know if you were supposed to know that." We stopped in front of the bathing area. "This is it."

"We are going to talk more when I am done." He sent me a smile. "Honestly, it's good to see you, Veer, truly, you've grown so much." He opened the door to get into a spot to bathe in. "I want to hear more about this fight with the Retainer."

"I'll tell you all about it later." I spun around. "I'm going to be in the main tent waiting for you."

Arthur entered the door, then responded to me. "I'll be out in ten minutes." I started to walk up to the main tent, where Drogo and some others did their planning.

I couldn't help but smile, my brother was finally home.

The war will pick back up soon, but now, I'll be fighting with Arthur. I totally forgot about the ships, I knew they were coming; however, I am pretty sure we will discover them the same day Arthur returns.

I stepped into the tent, inside was Helen, Tessia, and Adam. "You didn't wash your cloak." Helen pointed at me, and I realized it was still on my shoulder.

"Oh, shit." I pulled off of me. "I'll probably just run it under water, I don't feel like walking back to the bathing area." I threw it on the ground, near the entrance of the tent. "I'll deal with it later."

"Haha." Helen and Tess laughed.

"I can't believe Arthur is back." Adam spoke up from the chair he was sitting in. "He took out a horde, just like you do, Veer, maybe not as aggressively."

"He seems off." Tessia spoke up. "You think he's still the Arthur we knew, right?"

"Yeah." I told her as I sat down across from her. "He's the same, you have to talk to him, and you'll see."

"He's probably a little off, because he just got back." Helen answered her. "He'll warm up."

"I guess." Tess will see eventually that he is fine. "How are you going to deal with the whole him not wanting you to be here?"

"I think he's accepted it, to some degree." I was fighting in the war no matter what, but I still want my brother's approval. "He seemed proud of me when we parted ways moments ago."

"Arthur is an older brother, of course he would worry about you fighting in the war, and I'm sure all he's been told, is how strong they supposedly are." Helen was right, I don't remember what the Asura's tell him, but I do know they throw the fact that the Retainers and Scythes are insanely dangerous.

"Oh, I know, I wasn't upset when he got mad, I understood." The other soldiers were returning to the base, I felt Drogo approaching the tent. "They are back, Drogo should be here in about a couple seconds."

Tess had her head in her hands, leaning on the table, thinking about something. "Veer, did you know?"

"Know about what?" I asked Adam.

"That Arthur was back, you started to clap while everyone was freaking out." Oh, he was referring to that.

"Yeah, I did, but I wanted it to be a surprise for everyone, I didn't know he was going to make other soldiers piss their pants." The tent flap opened, and Drogo walked inside.

"Good, you're all here." Drogo made his way to a seat at the table. "If it wasn't for you Veer, I would have thought taking a whole horde out alone, was in impossible." So that's why Drogo didn't question Arthur as much, he knew that it was possible because of me. "You two must be the most dangerous brothers in Dicathen, maybe the world."

"Haha, you're probably right." Adam turned to me. "We got Demon one, and Demon two."

"You can't call us both Demons, that's stupid." I told Adam as I turned to Drogo. "I want to apologize for not giving you a heads up, I knew he was there the whole time, so if he scared a couple soldiers, that's on me."
