Hell on Earth! [bxb]

Chapter 22: The End of the Line!

The first year was the worst year to get through for Daetrin. Even though the war was over, he still trained the Royal Pack in order to prepare them for anything that could possibly happen. At first he thought that if he had enough work to do, he would not have enough time to think about Khaldun and would therefore not feel any sadness at all. He was, however, soon proven to be wrong. But as the time went by he learned how to hide what he actually felt from anyone and everyone in the pack. Well, everyone but Elois. After all, a Sinclair cannot lie to a Sinclair. He could see Daetrin put on a brave face every day but Elois  knew how he really felt. After all, he was once separated from his soulmate for a decade as well.

However, Daetrin would have to go through three decades of suffering. And Elois  would never forgive himself for not being able to protect Daetrin from that kind of suffering but there was never really anything he could do to prevent that from happening. Sinclairs were always meant to suffer by Fate's hand. And even though Daetrin wanted to break down so bad, he still walked with confidence radiating off of him. After all, he was the one meant to raise Ryan who happens to be the boy who would be the new Fate. Daetrin soon learned that Ryan was a very easy child to satisfy and teach. Ryan never asked for a lot and was a friendly child who had no trouble making friends. And Daetrin found some comfort in the small boy who often changed his hobbies and found different things interesting. The people in the pack grew to like Daetrin and no longer harassed him. Well, most of them liked him.

There were still a few of them who only saw him as the late shifter and nothing more. And he often got to see the difference in their treatment towards him during the training. He still could not understand how was it so hard for them to accept him into the pack he was born into yet they had no problems accepting a demon into the pack.

Fifteen years had passed sooner than anyone thought it would but it felt like eternity to Daetrin. Ryan was now a twenty two years old boy who grew to be a kind and just person in the pack. However, everyone knew not to piss him off for Ryan could be very scary when necessary. Ryan grew up having an enormous family and he never missed out on anything in life. Daetrin was his brother, friend and a father figure and so the boy felt most connected to him. Daetrin trained him to become a strong warrior in case he ever needed to fight. And he trained him well. Ryan was known among the younger members of the pack as the best warrior in the pack and Daetrin has never been more proud of him and his achievements.

Still, Ryan could see the sadness hidden deep inside Daetrin’s soul. He could see how much he missed his soulmate even though he would never admit it out loud. And Ryan found himself often looking up at the Moon and wondering when will his father finally be reunited with his soulmate and get to be happy once and for all. When will the Sinclairs finally stop being tortured just because of their name? Ryan has started getting the Fate’s powers since the age of fifteen and at first he was terrified of them but he always had Daetrin there to help him out. Sure, the hellhound could not understand the powers he was getting but he was always there to lessen the pain if there was any. But Ryan also had help from the infamous Wicked Beast called Gehenna Pandemonium, the Rebellious Rainbow Wolf known as Enfys Dynas, the Red Wolf called Sebastian Saga Appollyon and the Bloody Phoenix known as Elois Barin Sinclair.

The boy grew up being surrounded by the most famous and powerful people in the world. He was taught how to control himself by Sebastian and Elois who knew better than anyone how to not give in to the darkness deep inside their souls. He was taught how to know when to let the darkness out by Gehenna and Enfys and most importantly…. He was taught how and when to fight back. He was taught not to harm anyone innocent but also not to be lenient with those who attack him first.

Once twenty five years had passed since the world had burned down to the ground, Ryan has started getting visions of the future and sometimes they could be very overwhelming for him. And Daetrin was always there to calm him down when he would get panic attacks because of them. Ryan was 32 years old by now but Daetrin still saw him as his own son and it hurt him each time he would hear Ryan scream himself awake from a nightmare. He also knew that Ryan wanted his soulmate too but he never got any indication that they were near him and that made him sad but he was used to not complaining. Ryan was close with Elois and Sebastian’s child but he was not too close with her.
