Discovering

Calm before the Storm

Drave's P.O.V

I was in a tight spot, maybe a tighter spot than that time the Vatlan asked me to become part of the Vatlan army. I mean yeah, I don't mind destroying the Vatlan but I won't destroy all of space with them. After all, I do love in space.

"Look it's complicated. I was going to take the artifact and threaten them. Buy Drave, Lyris, Maddie and Matthew time to rescue Anathelia. I mean they could see the future but it was worth a try."

"Uh huh," Lyris said, "So what if they gave you cause to do their dirty work for them."

"What do you mean?" I asked her confused.

"I don't know, what if they persuade you into destroying the entire galaxy or worst cases scenario, force you to destroy the galaxy. What then?" Lyris asked as if she was amused with the idea.

I wasn't sure if she knew but my mental capacity was great. And she seems to be forgetting that I was the one protecting her for fifteen years of her life.

"I have had past experience with these kind of things," I said slightly annoyed.

"Yeah I get that, but threaten people who can predict the future by practically giving them something to destroy the universe when that is their life objective is messed up," Lyris said.

"Hey you guys are on my side right?" I asked gesturing to my brother, Maddie and Matthew.

Come on, I mean I would honestly see why they would be on Anathelia's side here but they had to see my reason. They always do.

Matthew shrugged his shoulders,"I guess."

"Look Lyris," Druim said, "I kinda see his point. He needed a distraction, if he is in the Vatlans way, then it would buy us enough time to rescue Athelia."

Maddie nodded her head in response.

I guess things are looking up for me after all. 

"Seriously, you guys are taking his side?" Lyris asked incredulously.

"You didn't even know about all of this a week ago," I protested, "I was practically doing this my entire life, taking risks. I mean stupid risks, very stupid but I was doing this since I was born."

Lyris rolled her eyes at me. I get what she means, well in a way. By doing this I was risking the entire universe and I had to admit that this was the dumbest thing I probably have ever done but I had to do something. 

Technically, it was Lyris' fault because I would destroy the entire universe to protect her. I do live in the universe as well and so does she but hey you got to try right.

"Maybe, I wasn't here or didn't know about any of this as long as you did but it wasn't my choice to come to this planet or Radon. It wasn't my choice to even leave that stupid planet in the first place!" Lyris yelled.

Okay, now I felt really guilty. I never thought about her point of view of things or how any of this sudden transition would affect her. I was only thinking about protecting her rather than protecting her and making sure she's comfortable and happy with any of this.

If I grew up in a world where I never felt like I fit in and I got ripped out of that world to come to a place where I still don't fit it, I would be overwhelmed and confused too. At least I think she's overwhelmed an confused.

Sadly, however, I didn't think this was the case here.

Much to my dismay, Lyris thinks I am going to destroy the universe for my selfish reasons. Which by the way come like her reasons not mine.

"Look, Lyris, I know that wasn't your choice to leave Radon or Earth. Well technically leaving Earth was your choice not mine but-"

"Wait, wait, wait," she interrupted me,"My choice, as far as I know I haven't had a choice as yet. You have made all my choices so far. Even leaving Earth, I didn't come to you but you came to me and asked for my help and I said yes."

"You can't seriously blame me for any of that," I said,"All of this I did it for you."

"How did you do any of this for me?" she asked.

"To protect you Lyris."

"First of all my name is not Lyris, it's Cassie. Second of all you are not protecting me," she said.

"Yes I am!" I yelled.

"How?" she yelled back.

"Everything I did, everything I am doing is for you. It has all been for you."

"Why? Why do you even care you're practically a Prince, so why do all of this for me?" she asked.

"Because you're my sister!" I yelled.

That shut her up pretty quickly. It felt good to get that off my chest though.

"Wait but if you're my brother then that means the Queen of Radon is my mother," she said.

I nodded. What she did next surprised me out of my wits. In front of everyone Anathelia, her brother, Maddie, Matthew, Druim, everyone she walked up to Mr and slapped me.

"You remember when I said thank god that woman wasn't my mother and you were like yeah. Do you remember that?" she asked.

I nodded my head slightly preparing for the worst.

"Don't you think you should've told me the truth right there and then?" she asked a little amused.

"Life was complicated at that point time," I said not knowing what to say.

"So isn't even more complicated now?" she asked.

"Well," I guess.

"You want to know why you didn't tell me sooner?" she asked.

I nodded wanting to see her point of view of all of this.

"Because you were to much of an idiotic jerk," she said her voice calm and deadly.

I felt like the biggest idiot and jerk ever and clearly that is what Lyris, sorry Cassie was trying to do clearly.

I mean the look on my face had to be priceless because she grinned and then walked out of the room leaving me to feel like an idiot.
