My Beginning After the End Four Armies

Great Eight

Hersius Eccleiah

I stood there within the great hall with the other clans and their members, with me, I had my leaders, my daughter Selena was also with me. The future bride of the Devil, and my path to greatness. The Indraths were nowhere in sight, there were no dragons present within the great hall.

"Father." Selena said from beside me as we stood within our force, my guards and leaders on the outside, we were supposed to mingle, but I had no time, everyone knew that the Dragons and Leviathans weren't always allies.

The Hamadryad race was the most loyal to the Dragons, their alliance has lasted years, but then again, all the alliances have. There has been no one capable of overthrowing Lord Indrath, but there was now, an opportunity laid there with the Devil of Dicathen, Virion Leywin.

I know the Pantheons and Dragons aren't on the greatest terms, this meeting is about that, it's about how Lord Indrath sent seven asuras to kill a bunch of Lessers, and how they were killed in the process by them, by mere Lessers, his power is slipping

The closest clan to us right now were the Sylphs, Clan Aerind, their leader was speaking with a Titan, but no one of worth. Our members were somewhat mingling, speaking as they guarded their leaders, me, and Lord Bealon.

"Father." I snapped out of my thoughts as my daughter said my name once again. "When do you think I'll see him again?" She asked, looking at me as she ran a hand through her blue hair. "You know, V ---"

"Not the place, Selena." I told her instantly. "I understand it has been a while, and you would like to know him better, but read the room. If someone hears you, it would mean the death of us right here and now."

She went silent, but I could see the disappointment in her face. "I don't even know why I am here; I should have stayed with Holden back at home." She stood up from her seat, looking around the room. "I don't understand why you brought me here."

"To learn." I told her. "There will come a time and place if everything goes the way we want, where you will need to know how to handle certain situations." She nodded her head in understanding. "I know you like to fight, Selena, but there is more to being a leader, you can already defeat your brother in battle, but you need to learn to lead."

"Father, I know how to lead." She told me. "I was merely asking a question of when I would meet him again, that was all." She rolled her eyes at me as she stormed off, going towards the exit, her blue dress swaying as she walked. I motioned for two guards to go with her, knowing she was probably not going to come back, she is very intelligent and a great fighter, yet, she is so young.

"You should give children their space, Lord Hersius." A female voice could be heard as she walked into my circle, passed my men without being questioned, which meant she could only be one person.

"Lady Zelyna" I said as she bowed to me. "It's good to see you again." She was an important figure among our clan, she has ties to the Thyestes clan that connect us. "I'm surprised you came, especially since your past lover betrayed the Indraths and is being hunted."

"Aldir is going down a different path than me at the moment, but you know very well that we will be one a similar one." I nodded, of course the leaders of my clan approved of my plan, they helped me form it, well, they helped my father form it who was now a part of Virion Leywin. "This meeting should be fun, that is why I came."

"Fun indeed." I said with a smile as we both looked at one another. "Have you spoken to Windsom?" She shook her head. "I haven't seen a Dragon yet since I got in here, quite the host they are, but that's to be expected."
