Chapter 25 - Updates for a member

Everyone gathered around by the spring. Anyone who knew about the topic, apart from Prince Ralis, was there. They could all tell that the Prince was suspicious of them all. No wonder he had joined into this update. He was sat in the spring as Odin had stood there in his horse form. Light was sitting on Odin with Serah, Zelda and Fang were leaning on him while Nero and Link sat on the ground as the twins carried on standing around, pacing.

"Prince Ralis," Zelda began. "I assure you with full confidence that there is nothing to be worried about."

"Please give me the answer to my question then. Explain why I feel different auras coming from each and every one of you. A stronger one comes from you three. Vergil, Dante and Neo."

"It's Nero. Well, Prince Ralis. You should know by now that Dante, Vergil and I are related."

"Of course I know that."

Nero rolled up his sleeve. "Well, we are half breeds. That's why we look human but have demonic aura coming from us. We are Half Human, Half Demon. Devils. So we are like humans but with demonic power."

"But we're here to help," said Vergil. "We, devils, always repay a favour."

Ralis looked at Fang, Serah then Light. "You three have a magical aura coming from you. It's not the one I'd like to feel. It sends a shiver down my spine."

Light jumped off. "We aren't from here either, just like the devils," she replied. "We are l'cie. Branded by Fal'cie. That's what makes us different."

"L'cie? Fal'cie?"

"We really have no time to explain. Each of us have brands. Me, Serah, and Fang." Fang and Serah showed the Prince their brands. He stared at them but looked away once they both flinched from something. Light was holding her chest while the other two held their arms, at the point where their brands were. The Prince looked at the devils. They were holding their hearts. He saw that Zelda and Link were holding their right hands, where their Triforce marks were.

"Are you guys okay?" the Prince asked, his eyes full of concern. "What's wrong?"

The pain stopped and they stopped clutching the places where it must’ve hurt. Light looked at him. "I'm not sure."

"I felt as though...the power of the l'cie has been dropped or been taken away by a level," whispered Fang.

"Yes," Serah agreed under her breath.

Nero looked at Dante. “Did you feel that?”

Dante nodded. “It was like…our power was being…reduced…”

Link stared at his hand. “Same here…” he looked at Zelda. “Did you feel the same?”

Zelda nodded. “What do you think is happening?”

The chosen ones shrugged. There was a silence between them all. The Prince knew that they were all thinking about what that was all about. To be honest, it was something to be curious about.

He cleared his throat. “Back to the matter at hand, please.”

"As I was saying, l’cie’s are cursed people who have the ability to cause a major change or cause a difference in something,” Light continued. “They are given the ability to do things regular humans can’t. Like use magic. Anyways, back to brands. Fang's brand isn't active as hers is white. Serah's and my own are very much active and we don't have a lot of time. Is there anything we need to tell each other before we go?"
