half brothers (FTO au)

chapter 5

Bryan was saying his goodbyes to the protectors, seeing as today was his last day with them for a while. When he gave his goodbyes to everyone but Jakey, the time wizard had pulled him into a hug.

''Stay safe, okay Bry.'' Bryan nodded before Jakey pulled him in for a kiss, while Bryan had no hesitation and kissed him back.

The two pulled apart and continued to hug eachother until the flapping of wings could be heard. The group had turned around to see Bri on the back of Phantom, waiting for Bryan.

''Are you all done with goodbyes?'' Bryan nodded before saying one last goodbye to the guild and heading towards Bri and Phantom.

Bri had helped Bryan get on Phantom's back, before the large dragon had took off into the sky. Phantom flew back to the sanctuary, making sure to stay high above the clouds to make sure that anyone working with the garden, someone working with the evil twins, or even one of the evil twins don't see them.

By the time they arrived at the sanctuary, Bryan had fallen asleep. Bri let out a sigh before telling Phantom to lower himself to the ground. Once he did that, she hopped off of him before picking Bryan up, being careful as to not wake him.

She carried the sleeping dragon slayer into the sanctuary with Phantom at her heels. They walked over to where Clarity was, before Phantom curled up and Bri leaned Bryan against him. Bri sent a smile to the sleeping boy before leaving the sanctuary and heading to her house, ready to go to sleep.

Bryan let out a yawn as he was gently shaken, causing him to wake up. He woke up and saw that Silver was the one shaking him, while Phantom, Clarity, and most of the other dragons were awake.

''Wake up bud. We're going to be hanging out with eachother for the next three days.'' Silver chuckled and offered him a hand, to which Bryan accepted as Silver pulled him up.

''You ready to go.'' Bryan looked towards Clarity, who shrunk and flew onto his shoulder, before turning back to Silver and nodding.

Silver grabbed Bryan's arm before teleporting the three of them to his guildhall. Once they arrived there, Bryan and Clarity noticed how rundown the place was. Clarity had immediately began to clean up, much to Silver's confusion. Bryan saw his confusion before explaining to Silver what it was.

''According to Bri, Clarity can't stand filthy places and will clean them if she's in an area that is safe. She also doesn't let anyone help her, so she'll just clean while we're here.'' Silver nodded before motioning to one of the tables.

''Up for a game of cards?'' Bryan nodded and the two of them went to the table.

While in the middle of the game, Silver thought back to the conversation he had with the guild leaders about telling Bryan a bit of what was going on, because the evil twins were involved with that and they are targeting Bryan. The guild leaders decided that Silver should be the one who tells Bryan, since his guildhall is usually empty.

''So Bryan...'' Bryan looked at Silver and raised an eyebrow.

''Me and the other guild leaders decided that we should tell you a few things that no one other than me and the other guild leaders know, seeing as how it could involve you because the evil twins are definitely involved.'' Bryan hesitantly  nodded while Silver let out a sigh before deciding on where he should start.

''The other guild leaders and I have reason to believe that Grandmaster Johnathan is working with the garden and plotting against the guilds, meaning you're not allowed to be in the same room as him without two or more guild leaders.'' Bryan looked shocked at this but nodded.

''We also believe that he is the one who... killed Reaper...'' Bryan frowned at the time in his voice, but decided to not pry for an answer.

After that, the two decided to talk about something else, not noticing the fact that Clarity was almost finished cleaning the place. Eventually, right after they finished a game, two people walked in to the guild hall. They both raised an eyebrow when they saw that a dragon was cleaning the guildhall, and that the guildhall was in almost perfect condition.

''Hi Bryan, Silver, tiny dragon who seems to enjoy cleaning the guildhall.'' Everyone turned to them and stared, except for Clarity who just nodded at them before going back to cleaning.

''Hello Stu, Brick.'' Everyting became an awkward silence after that, until Bryan had broke it.

''So... you guys up for a game of cards?'' Stu and Brick looked at eachother before coming to an agreement.

''Don't see why not.'' The two had walked over to the table before sitting across from eachother.

After a few rounds of crazy 8s, they decided to start talking with eachother. And, believe it or not, Stu and Brick actually enjoyed chatting with Silver and learning a few things from him. Bryan smiled at this, knowing that Aiover and his guildmates didn't really get along all that well.

They talked for a bit longer before they began to tell eachother about their past. Everyone felt bad when they heard about Silver's backstory, and the two wandering coins had realized that Silver was putting a lot of pressure on himself.

After a bit more conversation, and Brick and Stu apologizing to Silver, it was time for Bryan and Clarity to head back. The group was honestly a bit upset about him leaving, but they knew he would be back tomorrow and the day after.

Stu and Brick said bye to Bryan and Clarity, while thanking the dragon for cleaning up the guildhall, before Silver teleported the dragon, dragon slayer, and himself to the sanctuary.

Bryan said goodbye to Silver, who said the same back before teleporting back the his guildhall. Bryan walked towards Phantom before sitting down and leaning against the large white dragon, while Clarity hopped off of his shoulder and increased her size before curling up to the two.

''Goodnight Phantom.'' Bryan let out a yawn, barely hearing Phantom respond.

Remember to always try and have a good day/night. Bye wolf pups!!
