"It never get old, does it Asher."

"Of course not, you chose this path for yourself brother. father had plans for us but in his stead you went with uncle, working with those worthless freckles, calling themselves puritan. you brought this upon yourself Alexander".

still and quiet raced along the mountains into the lower lands, a gust of wind swept through mount magia. the mountain was named after the source of magic, or as they thought it was. The scarlet orb.

Magia the magic energy, flowed  through everyone from the region of drakken. the only strong magic zone left in the continent of pangea. the puritans also known as the human race had led an attack to exterminate all magic life forms, betraying the peace treaty held between them and Asher, the representative of Drakken. The attack led by their leader. 'Alaxander the great.'

" You do know that uncle ervine's  intentions are good brother, just a small price to pay for salvation. you have to join me brother, let's show father how wrong his view on the puritans are. " Alexander said, advancing towards his brother with outstretched arms.
"you leave me no choice Alexander,  i wish it never came to this."  drawing his sword. Alexander heard the blade cut through air. Conducting a spark as both swords clash. The frequent clanks, sounded like a clap of thunder happening in quick succession. the energy of magia, being manifested from both royalties began cracking the ground around them, they were of royal blood, drawing magia from the orb directly was a great addition of power.

" you're barely keeping up brother " dragging the part 'barely'. Alexander smirked. amused by how fast he, himself  moved.  "well brother, mother made you an abomination, a creature of cursed, sacred scarlet magic. and it took her life." he grunted abit, feeling more solemn than ever. "But we all know how this ends" said Asher trying to draw his breath.

"You speak as one without wisdom brother, we both chose the path of the  Phoenix, class aspect of fire, more fighting and less talking." he finalized, attacking with his blade.

Asher casted the illusion spell of flames, a magic of illusion somewhat dreams, of a dancing Phoenix, which left Alexander  deceived only for a moment.  " you know better than to do this brother, your magic doesn't work on me." as Alexander held Asher  a feet above the ground, he pulled Asher  towards him and began taking in a fraction of his force of magia with a forbidden script he had charred on a piece of hexagonal crafted wood.

    Indistinct chatter from Asher as he smirked. " your love for magia will be your own undoing. Release me." He commanded   as he detached himself from his brother, using his flame magic to trap him. "You came prepared brother"Alexander admitted with disgust.

Alexander looked at his brother  in a manner of disgust, he was held prisoner to the circle of venek, the spell was named after an ancient hunter who was said to discover the scarlet orb. "Even you cannot escape this, the scripts is lined with Phoenix ash."  he said. Alexander took a glance around him, he noticed the rune scripts designs at each tangential point on the circle, indeed he could not break free. 

" talk about low standards for a hunter." teased Alexandria their sister, crown princess of drakken, she had just cleared the faction of magicians, who stood in her way, she was the fairest maiden of the land, a practioner of the aspect water, the path Aquarius, the first of the royal family, which was constantly blessed with practitioners of the aspect, fire.

"So expected of you to do something like this,"
Nero knew there was no way he could fight Alexandria and still in prison Alexander her twin brother. he needed help.  "If i wasn't here on time, you will have failed uncle, alexander. let's just say you owe me one" said Alexandria as she charged with her katana swinging with the intent to end her brother. "you were always daddy's pride, respected and loved, the most loved of the us three" she said angrily as the clanking continued.

Asher lost his control over his brother. mount magia, now trembling at the enormous flow of magia within the trio. Asher pushed to a corner, he gathered every last ounce of magia inside his body, a sudden script glowed from his blade, "Oh no" she muttered. " forbidden magic". Alexander followed up.  the ritual of jude, a spell which sucks the life force of the practioner in order to summon a certain evil, a magic even the x-class of drakken had forbidden. The ground shook with great ferocity and there was a crack through which beasts at least nine feat tall, with faces condemned as though being tortured with fire and brimstone. The leviathans emerged.

"first you turn on your siblings now you do this" said alexander as he was restrained by a leviathan. He struggled all the more, but to no avail.

" I won't forget this Asher, you will die and we will return"  yelled Alexandria. She muttered a couple of words and a shadowlet  crept out of her body and disappeared out of sight.

They were under the power of the leviathans. as the leviathans possessed the ability of defiance,they can cancel any kind of attack or magic absolutely, there was nothing alexander or Alexandria could do now, the scarlet orb, the bargain for the peace treaty was covered with Asher' s flame magic.

They had both failed uncle ervine, he was surely going to die now, he was in a condition, and now his death would be on there hands.

In Asher's last words, as his body started withering, the seal magic covering the whole vicinity.  the mountain began crumbling. in time Asher had withered to dust, the orb also being sealed with them, a small price for Asher to pay for salvation of all hunter kind.
