My Beginning After the End

Arrival

(Next Day)

Today was a big day, at least if I got to go with them. We were supposed to meet an Alacryan messenger at some point, they don't know where though yet. I want to go, because I want to see who takes Uto's place, if someone takes Uto's place.

Last night, before I went to bed, I created a clone with half my strength, but it only had my ice and illusion deviant powers, to go back into the dungeon and watch over the Twin Horns, I knew Adam died at some point, and I wanted to prevent that from happening. The clone was a replica of me, so they knew the clone could be trusted, but I gave it a cloak to hide its face just in case.

I yawned in my bed, stretching my arms out into the air, and sat up in my bed. I've been having trouble sleeping, so it's super early here, no one is up, not even Arthur. I got up off my bed and started to get dressed.

I was planning on switching up what I wore, I slipped on my black tights, I grabbed a pair of black shorts and a white t-shirt, slipped them on, then I put on my usual armor set, lastly, a cloak given to me yesterday by Elder Virion, which was also completely white.

After I got dressed, I went into the bathroom and ran water through my hair, made it so I didn't have bed head, and then made my way out of my room.

I walked the hall, the guards that were up, all bowed to me as I passed them. They knew and respected me, the guards in here knew about everything that I had done. If I had to guess the time right now, it was around six in the morning.

"Virion." A guard bowed and spoke.

"Abold." I said as I stood in front of the council room. "You mind if I go in there?"

"No, go ahead." He opened the door for me, and I walked in.

To my surprise, Aldir was there. "Didn't know you were up." I approached the desk, and took a seat across from him, his third eye following me as I did.

"Virion, still having trouble sleeping?" I smiled at the Asura.

"How'd you know about that?"

"You may have blood magic, but I can still sense when mana is being used." He told me, I never really tried to hide it in the morning. "You just got back yesterday; you should be sleeping."

"Yeah, I can never sleep when I get back from the dungeon." I shrugged at the god. "It just means I have more time to get stronger and absorb mana more often." Since I was in white core, all I could do was add mana to it, and get to the integration phase, which I didn't know that much about. I used my ring on my hand daily, but I had to keep that a secret from the man before me.

"That's good to hear, the you getting stronger." Aldir emitted a powerful presence, I knew that, but with my blood magic I could block it off. "But you should make sure to sleep."

"I do." I leaned back in the chair. "Aldir, you mind if I ask, can I come to the meeting with the Alacryans?"

"There has been talk about bringing you with, since you have been the main player in the war so far." Aldir was right, I mean, I don't want to brag, but I kinda did carry us the last two years. "Since you're up already, you might as well come with, we could use your age as an advantage."

"Huh?" My age? That's why he wants me to come? I mean it's fine with me if I get to go.

"If we show their messengers that it's true, a boy defeated one of their Retainers, they'll start to think about everything. What can that boy's brother do? What could an adult do from Dicathen? They haven't even seen the Lances fight; they don't know their strength. Their soldiers and other Generals will start to question their real strength." Aldir brought up some good points about what my age could do to them.
