A Warden's Tale

Chapter 6 - Factions

Francois Redoux

The school auditorium was filled with students. They're here to witness the faction headed by that Vettore kid. I've never seen the second son before at social events so I think he must be weak since he wasn't openly recognized.

My white doves are still the most organized among the factions. We implement military discipline to our ranks.

I stand proud as my wardens stand at my back to show our factions unwavering ideals.

"Francois Redoux."

I glanced back. I wasn't surprised to see who it was. A small man with black hair and a tanned complexion was in front of me.

"Diego Cardiz." I answered back. The heir of the green seat and the head of the faction, Serenity's Embrace, just nodded. He was with his supporters as well.

Since two of us are of the americas, our factions have an alliance and as such always stand side by side in the events.

From the far corner I see Jayce Cheng. The heir to the Gray seat and the leader of the Thousand Sons. His faction is the most numerous out from all the others. He's the most mysterious out of all the leaders, he always wears a bandana that covers his face.

I am seeing Theodore at front, never knew he'd jump ship that fast. He used to be my right hand. That fucker will pay when the time comes.

I see the Vettore kid going up the stage. What a wimp. My attention was peaked, the moment the red head went up to the the stage with the blonde girl. Who could ever forget Luciana Orsini. I made a mental note on stealing her away. They were followed by 2 guys. 4 of them were in front while Cael was at the back.

"Is that it?" Lionel said. He's my second in command. The one who replaced theodore.

"I am sure somethings gonna happen. Theodore won't go there unprepared." Diego said amused. Theodore did always hid something under his sleeves.

Theodore spoke up to call everybody's attention. "I have gathered you all here today for our new faction's debut headed by the heir of the black seat."

Everybody fell in silence and I scoffed.

"Caelum Pontus Vettore shall now speak."

So the vettore kid's name is Caelum.

"I the heir to the black seat hereby announce the existence of my faction, Daemon's Anarchy."

"Thats it?" I blurted out.

"Support us or go against us. I don't care." Caelum turned his back and his the 4 at his back stepped to the front. So he thinks he doesn't need the other wardens?

"How arrogant. Even if he has one follower that has a deity, he can't expect everyone will flock to that." Lionel was fuming at my side.

"He must be that confident." I said. Diego was just shrugging his shoulders.

"Isn't he a charmer?" He was already about to leave when the people were gasping. It made us look back at the stage, I even saw Jayce cheng standing up from his seat in my peripheral sight.
