The Fated Twins

Chapter 37: Luck and Fate

Sorry for the lack of update last week I was recovering from a bad urinary infection as well as work has created less availabilities to write my chapters. Still trying to catch up on my chapters but I'm doing my last year in university so I'll try my best to keep up with my weekly upload. Anyway, hope you enjoy the chapter. 

Breathing deeply, Cale was in a state of deep meditation in the underground training facility of the Henituse mansion. Basen and Lily would occasionally come to watch their brother training.

Cale had decided to focus on training his divinity to better utilize it in combat. He had been sweating from meditating to properly understand and control his powers.

'This is a lot more difficult than I anticipated.'

Opening his eyes he focuses both his aura and divine power.

"Shit."

Only to immediately close them upon receiving a visual overload.

"I put too much power, how does Kim figure this type of stuff out instantly then again... he's always been a genius when it comes to anything that requires quick thinking."

Sigh.

"Please come out from your hiding place I already know you're there."

Two shrieks came from behind a pillar nearby.

Cale had sensed them since they first started to come but despite it being a few days now they had never attempted to approach.

It wasn't long after Cale's call that Basen and Lily had finally come out.

"I hope we weren't disturbing brother in any way."

"We were only curious and wanted to watch."

"Not to worry you weren't a bother at all, I could just tell that my siblings seemed as though they wished to speak to me as well."

Cale looked into his siblings' eyes with a brow raised as the two brown-haired siblings looked at each other. Basen sighed.

"Hmm, well let's just say that your older brother has only never truly had time to properly heal regarding the passing of Kim and I's birth mother the late countess only since Kim's waking and rapid recovery. Although I've now had time to process the loss there are still emotions and negative memories associated with the location Kim had headed to I am not quite ready to confront yet."

"Does brother Cale mean Harris village?"

Kim looked to Lily who had asked the question and patted her head.

"That's right Lily, Harris village was the place your eldest brothers' mother happened to be visiting just before she passed so even if I'll have to confront those feelings soon I don't wish to rush either. Kim has just been a lot more emotionally mature than myself so had already healed from our mother's death."

Although Cale's smile was one of sadness the siblings could still feel Cale's warmth when he looked at them.

"Okay that's enough of me, what about the both of you? Basin how are your studies going and Lily? I heard that you've started practicing with the swords that we bought for you. Are you training well?"

Basen and Lily smiled as they both began to recount how their training and studying was going.

Meanwhile, back in the Forest of Darkness Kim had just squashed a group of Hontas with his shield after having used his wind ancient power. Surprisingly there was barely anything left looking nothing more like squashed pancakes by the sheer power of the strike.
