Maledictus Ignis

Lobotomy

He sat there, staring onto the horizon just as the sun rose, he reminisced on old long gone memories. The nostalgia made him smile but deep down lied a well of sadness within him, knowing he would never have those times back a single tear crept down his cheek as he thought about those memories with a fervent rose tint.

Two pairs of footsteps came from behind him, both of them laughing and talking like old friends who had just met up for the first time in years. Or at least that's how it sounded to him, wiping his tear he turned around and greeted them.

"Well look who it is!" Said Luke with a smile.

Cole and Dustin look up at him, both with happy expressions, they looked like drinking buddies catching up.

"Hey! Luke." Dustin waved, being in a good mood he wasn't so nervous.

Cole looked at him and his smile faded just a little but he still said nodded his head to acknowledge him. Luke looked a little upset to see that but still kept a smile.

"What're you doing up here?" Asked Luke.

"We- Well, I came up here looking for you." Answered Cole.

"You did?" Luke said surprised. "I figured you wouldn't want to see me."

"I didn't really but.. I wanted answers." Cole explained.

"So why are you here?" Luke asked Dustin.

"I got bored, and I don't really know anyone here." Dustin shrugs.

So nonchalant.

Luke thought to himself.

"Well then, what do you want answers about?" Luke returns his attention to Cole.

"Isn't it obvious? For 1 you said your my brother but I have no memory of this." Cole begins.

"And second.." Cole's tattoo and his left eye shine faintly and his smile is gone, replaced by a dour expression.

"Why the hell do you look like the man who killed Adrian?" 

He points a finger at him in an accusatory way.

"Cole!" Dustin starts.

"Wait a second." Luke interrupts him.

Luke puts his hands up in a defensive gesture.

"I can explain." Luke says.

Dustin stops and waits.

Cole puts his hand down and his face relaxes a little.

"So that man that killed your friend, he is my or rather.. our father." Luke explained.

At that Cole looked incredibly confused. Dustin also looked confused but not as much as Cole.

"Our father?" Cole asked.

Luke nods. "His name is Dominus."

"I guess I got unlucky with my looks huh?" Luke chuckles.

But nobody else was laughing, what about this was funny?

Cole looked at him with disgust as well as anger now.

"Is this some kind of sick joke? First you claim to be my brother, next you say the man who killed Adrian was my father?!" Cole began to heat up, literally.

"Whoa, ok I realize why you may be mad but hear me out ok? I'm not doing this as some sort of messed up joke, we really are related and he really is your- our father!" Luke explained.

"What reason would I have to lie to you two?" Luke finishes.

Cole stopped for a moment, realizing the truth in what he was saying, regardless of how he felt he couldn't argue with him.
