Virion Leywin


I appeared within a room, not knowing who, or what was going to show up. I had one job right now, and it wasn't to talk to Sylvie. That was simply an excuse to come here without question, and I understand Arthur might be mad about that, but there is a chance he'll never know.

"So, you've come." I heard a voice, and as they spoke, the god stepped out of the shadows and into the room. "How did you manage to locate this place?" He asked, and I just stared at the phoenix. 

"I read Chul's mind." I answered, shrugging as I looked at the Lost Prince, Mordain. "Hmm, but I'm assuming by your attitude, you knew I would be coming at some point." He nodded his head, taking a seat on the couch. 

"There's nothing I can do to stop you, not anymore, it's over, the asuras, it's all over." Mordain said, looking at me with a, I'd say calming expression, like he has accepted death to some extent. "I'm both glad, and scared, reincarnation is my specialty, yet I know, after this death, I want be rejoining the world of the living."

"Why not?" I asked, tilting my head as I looked at him. "You don't want to be a Lesser?"

"Why would I?" He asked. "Go from god, to Lesser, it makes more sense to die, and I've accepted death." I nodded, understanding his complaints. "And there is no point in fighting you, I already know I would get my ass kicked."

"Haha." I laughed, strolling alongside the back of the couch facing him. "I'm happy I get to have a conversation with you before you die. I was going to send my children, but I wanted to meet the great phoenix who escaped Kezess's grasps."

"I can't say I looked forward to this conversation, but I'll admit I find you to be quite interesting, Virion Leywin, more interesting than your brother." I smiled from his words, enjoying them, I was more interesting than my brother. "I knew from the start that you would grow up into such a powerful mage, but never to this extent."

"From the start?" I said questioningly, looking at him with a confused expression. "What do you mean?"

"I've been watching your brother since he was young, and when you came into his life, I sensed something, and it didn't take me long to figure out that you were special." He paused, then added. "Then I discovered that you weren't a reincarnate, but simply a creation, a true child, yet designed by Agrona."

"To be his vessel." I said in annoyance, not direction at him. "Yeah, I always thought I was a reincarnate, it took my own phoenix magic to tell me otherwise." He nodded his head, still looking at me peacefully. "So, you don't have the answer either? The answer to my blood magic?"

"No, I do not." He shook his head. "If I had to guess, it was Agrona, maybe not on purpose, but something he did granted you the knowledge to develop the ability to control people's blood." I sighed, wanting to understand how I obtained these abilities. "I don't know though; it could be the Djinn."

"What?" I asked, confused still. "The Djinn blood within me? I don't understand how that would give me these abilities. I understand your point, but not really how they would be able to do that with just putting blood in me."

"I don't think it was your Djinn blood, but your connection to the Djinn, or maybe it was your brother, who knows." He shrugged, not having a clue on how I obtained my blood magic. "I have to ask before I die, are you going to kill Chul?" His eyes were searching mine, but he wasn't going to find an answer like that. "I need to know."

"I don't plan on it." I told him, speaking the truth. "However, once they learn about what I have done here, I can't say I won't hurt the half-breed." Mordain nodded in understanding. "Then again, I'm simply not going to tell them."
