Axis:Legacy

Chapter 14: Light of Life

Boom!

Headmaster Myrlus Kain looked around as the ground suddenly shook, he shook his head remembering that Hathaway had reported him earlier that he had allowed Kyle and Petra to spar with their younger half-siblings Thomas and Lissa so the explosion was likely from that, eventually he returned his attention to the box on the table.

It was a small and intricate box containing two Nephilite shards from Crimson Edge and Azure Blade, unlike the others that were dormant at most. These two shards were very much 'alive' in a sense, the only reason that Myrlus hasn't gone insane is that he was present during their creation.

He slumped in his seat as he ran a hand through his face as he eventually reached out to the two shards and transferred a significant amount of Ki and Mana into them. This caused the already dark room to be illuminated as two faint figures of light, one was red and black while the other was blue and white, appeared within the room, both of them seemed to have taken a seat on the sofa and were facing him.

"Forgive me, my dear students," Myrlus said almost on the verge of tears looking at the two figures. "I swore to protect your family and prevent them from following the same path as you two did and yet here they are."

In life, both Andras and Arios were not just Myrlus' close friends. But were his students even bordering on the closest thing he had for sons, as a result, he promised that he would do whatever he can to not only preserve their legacy but also protect their lovers and their children, not just the Clones. Making sure that such bloodshed like the Axis Conflict would never occur.

"You did everything you can to ensure that they could at least live a peaceful life before this." The Blue one said. "There are some things that you cannot prevent, and eventually they'll learn the truth one way or another." The Red one continued.

"But they cannot carry the burden that is the Legacy that you two left behind once they find out about the fact that you two are their fathers," Myrlus argued looking down. "If I had known...I never should have accepted them here."

"But they seem to have chosen to enroll there themselves. And if they were to find out about the truth behind them then you must make sure that they learn the truth." The Blue one pointed out as he proceeded to stand up and fly past him eventually disappearing in a stream of blue and white light.

"Besides just because they're our children doesn't mean they're going inherit our legacy, it's their choice if they want to continue what we left behind or not. As for us, we simply wish for them to grow into the fine young adults they would become." The Red one said as vanished in a stream of red and black light as well.

As soon as they were gone, Myrlus let go of the shards and let out a sigh as the room darkened again.

"The Kingdoms of Jorouse and Exavis would like to disagree on that," Myrlus said removing the curtains and found both Lissa and Thomas, face planted on the ground after being defeated by Petra and Kyle. Since the years from the Axis Conflict, both kingdoms have begun to gain a much stronger influence within the region over the last few years to the point where not even the actual government of Axis could barely do anything but accept orders from both ambassadors.

It was because of their interference that many resistance movements began to crop up, all of which were aimed at the liberation of Axis from both powers. For a time, Myrlus and the Academy could have intervened, but he chose not to. It wasn't until an incident involving several of his best students were caught working together with several Resistance factions leading to their expulsion. He had hoped that through their expulsion, they might consider living peaceful lives but instead, it only intensified his fears as it resulted in most of the Factions banding together and forming what is known as the Axis Liberation Coalition.
