Decendant of Two (Discontinued)

The Ruins

"Alicia. Where are we going to go to get a heading?"

"I think the ruins are the best place to find clues or even better a relic, but I doubt it though."

As we walk to the ruins, Garroth and Vylad stare at each other awkwardly. I mean I guess it's because they haven't seen each other in a long time as brothers, but I how should I know? I never had a sibling. The stares between the two just get more and more intense, to the point where Garroth doesn't see where he's going and falls down a hole and Vylad right after. The tumbling of Garroth and Vylad makes the ground below me crumble and I fall down as well. There's a short pause, then a great laughter right after from all of us.

"Heh, heh, how are we gonna get out now?" I ask them both.

"I didn't fall too far down; I'll climb my way up and get you two out." Vylad says.

Vylad get Garroth and I put of the holes. We brush the dirt and dust off our clothes. A few minutes later we arrive at the ruins where there are caskets, signs of struggle, and a painting of the divine warriors.

Garroth says "Alright then. Let's begin searching."

I open a casket and a huge dust forms. I cough immediately from the horrible stench of the disintegrating bones and the thick vivid cobwebs. 'Dang it nothing here.' I thought to myself.

"Woah, what the nether is this?" Vylad questions as he turns towards Garroth and I while holding a dark blue cloak and a white mask with a purple stripe going down on each eye.  "Looks like someone was here before us."

"Lillian." Garroth and I growl in unison.

"How do you know her?" Garroth asks.

"How do you know her?" I ask.

He points at the cloak. "It was her's. I know it was. She's the one that consoled me after my heart being broken and the one that made me switch over to Zane's side briefly."

"Didn't you your heart get broken twice?" I inquired.

"Yes, Alicia. By Laurence and Aaron." Garroth looked very irritated talking about his past.

"Ah sorry for asking. Well I met Lillian because at the time she always wore an mask and threaten the the jury of nine. Especially Katelyn and I." I said.

"You were in the jury of nine?" Vylad questioned.

"You helped Zane?" Garroth was furious.

I sighed "Yes, but-"

"But nothing, Alicia. You helped Zane end thousands of innocent lives."

"I was going to say that Aaron told me of his plan and so I had to get Shad's relic from Ivy."

"Whatever." Garroth said unbelievably.

I sighed knowing that Garroth could never understand. "Anyways, it looks like there was a big fight here since there's a tear on the cloak and blood on the mask."

"Who would she be fighting with?" Garroth asks.

"Well it's most definitely a shadow knight because there's traces of shadow knight majiks everywhere."

"Well whatever it was it must've been over something important for someone to fight this aggressively." Garroth comments.

"Well, we still haven't gotten clues as to where she could've gone, let's keep searching." I say.

A few minutes into searching I hear a huge crash. It's in Vylad's direction. Look to see what's happening. Vylad opened Kul' zak's coffin.

Garroth shouts "Vylad! You can't just open a coffin. The ruins can still cave in."

"Hey guys, what's this?" Vylad questions, completely ignoring Garroth's scold. He moves the spine which completely disintegrates in his touch. It reveals a slot.

"Oh, that. That's normal for divines without an heir to have in their coffin. It hold their relic. That's why I wanted to come here, but since it's empty, I guess Lillian took it already." I inform.

"Dammit, we're too late and we have zero clues as to where she could've possibly gone to." Garroth says.

"Calm down, gar gar, we could still find clues." I comfort. I pat Garroth's back. I see Vylad pick up Lilian's cloak and pull a long strand of red-orange hair.

"Well will you look at that? I wonder who's head the hair belongs to?" Vylad asks while holding up the hair.

"Cadenza." I answer.

"Heh looks like we're going to New Meteli."

~~~Time Skip To New Meteli~~~

We're at the foot of New Meteli's gates.

"State your business." Cloud said sternly.

"Aw come on, Cloud! You don't recognize me?!" I shout.

"I do recognize you Alicia. But you still have to star your business in New Meteli."

I sigh. "We're here to get some clues on a runaway criminal."

"Heh, that's all you had to say." He opens up the gates.

"Cloud! I need to speak with you about something important!" I shout, think that since he's always guarding the gates, he might know what business Lillian was here for and better yet where she could gone. I split from the Garroth and Vylad, but before I can run off, Garroth grabs my wrist.

"While you're talking to Cloud, we'll be talking with Cadenza." Garroth informs me.

"Ahem, correction. Garroth will be talking to Cadenza and I'll be talking to Vincent." Vylad says.

"Okay, then lets all meet up at Cadenza's house in an hour." I suggest.

They nod and split up. I walk up the stairs so I could get to the top of the gates to reach Cloud. Only to see midway up the stairs, Cloud walking pass me going downstairs.

"Cloud, where are you going?"

"Hmm? Oh?" Cloud says dumbfounded "Well my shift ended, so I was going to my house to freshen up for you since I'm really sweaty."

"Oh okay. Let's go then."

We walk to his house which is right next to the guard station. Cloud must be very dedicated to his work.

Inside his house it's a bit messy. Only a few clothes on the sofa. I took a seat on a stool in the kitchen.

"Umm go ahead make yourself some tea. It's you favorite right?"

"Yep." I say as I hear Cloud go to his bathroom and turn on the faucet. I make myself some chamomile tea. Everything is very calm until I hear so foot steps in the living room.
