Virion Leywin


I stepped through a portal, ending up in a town or city, I didn't know what it was considered, it was where the Leviathans live, the place I stayed for a little. The place was on fire, the dragons came here after the battle and destroyed the place, wiping them out completely, but I could sense some survivors, people who hid when the dragons came.

The portal closed behind me as I looked around, yawning a little, it was pretty early. I wanted to do this now rather than later, there was so much to do, and this was going to be bothersome. "You good?" Hades asked as he slithered out of me. "You seem stressed?"

"Haha." I laughed as I started to walk again, heading towards the Leviathans I sensed hiding out in some sort of bunker. "Am I stressed? You should know better." I looked down at my bond and added. "I just want this to be over."

"Well, this war is going to take some time." Hades said, and I nodded, knowing that. "You still have to set up the Dicatheons, your clones are still working on that, but again, it's going to take some time."

"I know, I know." I said, shrugging as I turned the corner. "Uhh, I forgot about that, fuck." I shook my head, thinking about what I had to do. "I don't even know how Arthur will act, I can't predict that, but I do look forward to see my parents, my family."

"Sylvie?" Hades asked with a questionable tone. "I know you still think about her, like all the time, so what do you think she'll do?" I sensed the Leviathans, about two hundred, a couple of them were moving towards me.

"I don't know what she'll do." I said simply. "I don't care, as long as she is happy, and is okay, I don't care. I did what I wanted, I resurrected her, made her herself, that's all I ever wanted, now it's time to make this world safer for her, and my family to live in."

"Yeah, but you love her still." Hades told me. "Deep down, you want her to accept you, but you know you can't go back to what you were." I rolled my eyes as I looked forward. "Being there in Dicathen, after everything you did, it's going to be tough."

"Maybe." I said, knowing it was going to be tough to be there, be with the people I loved who may or may not hate me. "We'll see what happens." I paused for a second, then went on. "Alright, here we go, time to have at least a little fun."

I stopped walking, Hades slithered under my feet, and I felt for the mana in the ground below me. The Leviathans were in some bunker below me, hiding out, and now, I was about to open up a hole in it.

"You really should think about what you are going to say to Sylvie." Hades said as I was about to form a hole down, but stopped to look at him with an annoyed face. "All I am saying, Veer, you have planned for a lot but Sylvie, going after her, you haven't."

"Is this really the best time for this conversation?" I asked, looking at him, then went on. "I haven't planned for it, because there is no reason to, Hades. I'll handle it when the time comes, there is nothing to do right now."

As I said this, I felt my mind fade for a second, then shook my head, freeing myself from this feeling. "It happened again, didn't it?" He asked, and I nodded, stretching my back out. "Is that the reason you haven't thought about talking to Sylvie?"

"Shut up." I said, looking down, feeling for the mana once again. "I'll take care of everything, I always do." I pushed downwards, moving the stones and we began to free fall, I pushed mana into my legs, reinforcing them for a brief second, then as I entered a large bunker all the eyes of the Leviathans looked up at me.

I landed on the ground, creating a small crater below me, then as the dust settled, Leviathan soldiers circled me, water flowing around them as they got ready to fight. I noticed a lot of children and women in the back, looking at me, fear in their eyes, knowing very well who I was.
