The Ardoni Legacy: Return of The Angel

'the meeting'

Lily sighed and sat down on one of the beds in the dorm room, she pulled out her 'The Tales of Thalleous Sendaris' book and lay down, she opened the book and started to read, ''oh, are you reading my book?'' Thalleous asked Lily with a warm smile, ''indeed I am! I love your book series! And, its kinda like a diary in a way, and I love to read these books because I get to see what other people's lives are like!''

''same with me'' Thalleous chuckled, ''wow! me and you have got a lot in common!'' Lily giggled as she lifted her head up from the pillow. Thalleous got off his bed and sat by Lily, Thalleous deeply cared for Lily and he wanted to be by her side at all costs, same with Lily, she wanted to stay by her new friend's side all the time and, ever since they've first met, Lily has always been by Thalleous's side, but Thalleous didn't mind, even though he's more of the personal space type.

Luna walked in as her gaze landed onto Thalleous, Thalleous and Luna were locked in a stare before Thalleous awkwardly looked away, ''theres a meeting you two!'' Luna said in a happy yet serious voice, Thalleous got up as his tail swished, the fin on his tail glistened in the sunlight. Lily awkwardly got up and held Thalleous's hand for comfort, since Lily was half Ardoni, she's always had to go to Ardonian clan meetings, but she hated being in rowdy crowds, it makes her feel lost, so she used to always hold her mother's hand when going to a meeting.

Thalleous clutched Lily's hand as he smiled softly at Luna, ''we're coming, lead the way'' Thalleous said as he looked down to Lily with a warm smile, Lily returned the smile as she held Thalleous's hand tighter.

Luna walked out of the dorm room as Lily and Thalleous followed, eventually, after a couple of minutes, they reach the place where the tournament took place, the four clan masters stood in the middle whilst all the Ardoni stood around they place where the masters were. Luna, Thalleous and Lily entered the crowd, Lily held Thalleous's hand tighter, Thalleous signalled for Luna to stop as he bent down to Lily, ''what's wrong?'' Thalleous asked Lily as he looked straight into her eyes, Lily looked down a bit nervous, ''I just hate being in crowded places...'' Lily replied in a low voice, ''I could help'' Thalleous smiled as he bent down even more, ''hop on my back''

''oh, o-okay'' Lily clambered onto Thalleous's back, Thalleous stood up as he used his tail as a seat for Lily, Lily felt stronger and taller being on Thalleous, ''yeesh, how tall are you?'' Lily asked as Thalleous followed Luna, ''pretty tall on what I can tell'' Luna said in a happy voice, and Luna was right, Thalleous towered over all of the Ardoni, the Ardoni looked up at Thalleous as they bowed as he passed through.

Eventually, the small group reached a less crowded place, Thalleous gently bent down so Lily can get off, Lily got off as she landed with a loud thud due to her armour. Everyone was chatting and whispering until the Mendorian master stamped his staff on the ground for silence, and it worked surprisingly well because all Ardoni shushed when it echoed through the cave like place, ''SILENCE!'' The Mendorian master shouted, everyone's gaze landed on the main center  where the masters were, ''may all Ardoni old enough to fight please listen to this clan meeting!'' The Sendarian master shouted, all warrior Ardoni listened in as Lily looked at Thalleous, she looked back at the masters as she sat down, ''as we all know, Thalleous Sendaris, our Champion, has been telling us lies about the Voltaris clan! But today we have something interesting that Thalleous has brought up'' The Kaltaris master started, ''he has told us that one of his friends has been killed in cold blood by a Voltaris on Mt. Velgrin, but we have no evidence of it what's so ever-''

''but we know that Thalleous wouldn't lie about that...'' The Nestoris master interrupted, ''as I was saying...We are going to patrol the Nether portal on Mt. Velgrin for now on, just in case'' Thalleous looked down a bit upset as he thought about his friend, Hawken, he was good company to Thalleous, and a good friend.

Lily sighed and held his shoulder, ''THALLEOUS SENDARIS! please step up!'' the Menodrian master shouted, Thalleous shyly left Lily, but Lily wasn't leaving him to suffer, Lily got up and followed on, eventually, Thalleous was in the spot light, Lily stood behind Thalleous as he turned around, ''Lily! go back to Luna!'' Thalleous ordered, ''nu-uh! You seem upset, so Im coming with you!''

''who is this runt Thalleous? she's as skinny as a stick!'' The Mendorian demanded a answer, Thalleous hissed, ''don't call her that! Give the child a break!" Thalleous hissed, ''tell that twig to go back onto a tree!'' The Mendorian master hissed back, ''Say.That.Again.'' Thalleous hissed, the Sendarian master tugged the Mendorian master back, ''I'm ever so sorry youngster, this master just hates children...'' he glared at the Mendorain master, he gave up and stepped back, ''its alright, just don't make him herd me like cattle!'' she laughed, Thalleous let out a small chuckle, then he looked at the masters with a serious face, ''so, Thalleous. Why have you brought this rumour up hm?'' The Mendoris master asked as he raised an eye brow, ''because my friend died?''

''tell us the truth Champion...'' The master hissed

''I am telling the truth!'' Thalleous protested.

''TELL US NOW!'' The master shouted, making Thalleous flinch, ''this is isn't wise Mendorian master...'' the Sendarian master sighed. The master's tail lashed angrily at Thalleous, Thalleous looked down a bit upset, but then he looked up angrily, ''I. Am. Telling. The. Truth.'' He hissed, Lily looked at the Mendorian master angrily, the master charged at Lily, pinning her down, ''now you listen here twig, don't you even thing about looking at me like that.'' he hissed as he bared his teeth to scare Lily, but Lily didn't flinch, ''that's all ya got?'' Lily said with a smirk, ''WHY YOU LITTLE-'' the master pulled his fist back, ready to punch the young girl, with little moments to act, the other three masters grabbed the master's arm before he could do any harm, ''OI! LEAVE THE HYBRID ALONE! AND WE BELIEVE THALLEOUS, ALRIGHT?!'' The other three masters shouted at the Mendoris master, the master sighed and got up, Lily shook in fear, she's hasn't been so scared for years. Lily lay there, frozen in fear, Thalleous helped Lily up, Lily hugged Thalleous out of fear, Thalleous sighed and wrapped his tail around Lily as the masters bowed in an apology.

''We are ever so sorry Thalleous, especially you young warrior'' the Kaltaris master sighed as he bent down to Lily who was still hugging Thalleous, ''I-i-i-its okay...'' Lily stammered, ''now, Thalleous? You are going to stay in the A.A.C with your little fellow, our new leader needs a deputy at hand, like an assistant, and we know your perfect for the job'' The short Sendarian master said as he patted Lily on the back to calm her down, ''alright, c'mon Lily, let's just forget on what just happened, okay?'' Thalleous sighed. Thalleous bent down so Lily could get on, Lily reluctantly got onto Thalleous's back, then they entered the crowd, Lily knew that  the Voltaris are going to return, and she'd do anything in her power to stop the clan once and for all, for Ardonia's sake.
