Meetings

Ever since Averice was a young girl, all she stood for had been good. Her moral and spirit had been high, her parents were often there to coach, while she went for things in her own time.

But it all changed the moment the war started.

Her parents were quick to pick a side, though her brother had other things to say. Crypto had always been the opposite of his family, often being known for being witty, careless, and impulsive. Everything his parents had avoided to instill in their son, which wasn't exactly careless on their part.

Crypto always knew what he wanted, and even his own parents and sister couldn't have changed his mind on certain matters.

Including who to follow

When the war started, Crypto chose Viren's side, saying that Viren has a more rational point of view. But his parents brought out that although Viren had a few good teachings, most of teachings were wrong and vile. And always ended up someone getting hurt.

There was a lot to say on the whole matter

But even Averice couldn't have stopped her brother from leaving, and as much as it pained her, she chose to go with him. He was her brother after all.

It was the wrong choice, and yet she knew it. But Crypto would've gotten himself killed many times if Averice hadn't been there, though he still continued to choose many wrongs and little good.

'He's just going through something, it'll end soon," Averice told herself, to keep her from going insane from all the current events.

But nothing could've ever prepared her for all the hate

The war ended as fast as it started. And although Averice was relived, there was still much to be done about her brother's matter. Crypto continued to be obsessed with Viren's teachings, constantly scrolling through different articles and books.

The books changed him. The Crypto that Averice knew was no longer her brother, he was more of a stranger. Though, she didn't run, instead she stayed by her brother in every waking moment.

But when the crowds rushed in to kill them, Averice ran. She ran with everything she had because there was so much fear running through her veins.

This wasn't supposed to happen

Nor was taking Prince Callum for her brothers benefit. And yet here they were, trying to find out a recipe for a strong sedative to give the prince as that would avoid squirming and alerting the guards to Callum's horrible predicament.

'This feels wrong,' Averice had pointed out to her brother one night.

But instead of validating his sister, he had just scoffed. 'Stop complaining, you'll thank me one day.'

Though Averice already knew that day wouldn't ever come

DRAGON PRINCE

"You're late," Soren grumbled. "Again."

Callum came running into the meeting room, his face flushed with embarrassment and exhaustion. He quickly sat down. "I'm sorry, I got so invested in my research."

"What about?" Ezra, who was Callum's very lighthearted brother.

"It's still in progress, but I've learning about the Air Primal. There are so many components. " Callum said, very excited about his latest discovery. "Though, that can wait. I hear that we have some important stuff to talk about."

His younger brother nodded eagerly. "Yes, there is much to discuss in such little time. Luckily, we'll start with the current events. Has anyone of you ever seen Slivergrove, minus Callum?"
