The Twelve Scions Chapter 100: The Aftermath
"Did we just... lost?"Mell's exasperated question snapped Lars back to the reality. He watched as the Grand Serpent's towering scales spread out in the distance, amidst the smokes of ruin. From them, silver colored monstrosities excused themselves into the world, causing destruction in their wake."No. We've won. We pushed him back, didn't we?" Lars said, desperately trying to sound cheerful."But at what cost?" Rachelia said in a tired whisper. Wilhelmina gave her a side hug."Let's just get out of here first, those things are coming," Vayu said.Everyone agreed to the suggestion and the Scions walked through the ruined Regulus that had been deformedly transformed into chaotic nature. There were trees grown in the middle of the street, with reptilian scale textures on their trunks and leaves. Gravity also arbitrarily nullified in some parts, leaving some debris and ashes floating."Is this all because of silverstream?" Lars asked as he touched a speck of floating dust.
The Twelve Scions Chapter 1: Dark Coast of Antares
It was a night in the beginning of summertime when those destined pair began their journey. Their paths in life finally lead to this moment, to a place where everything began. This place was miles away from their home and they had never been on a train this far and long, away to somewhere completely new to them.The region of Antares was the northern edge of La Shania Mirepa island nation and many of its parts were still lush with untouched nature. The only presence of civilization were tiny lights cascading in the distance like fireflies. Other than that, there were only outline of pine trees, crags and hills loomed in the darkness of Antares, creating a mysterious, wild yet enchanting landscape.One of the twins, Skylar 'Lars' Sykes, were looking at this beautiful Antares' scenery from the train windows with a contempt smile on his face. Despite the calmness, his heart was beating hard with overwhelming sense of unfamiliarity, dread and excitement, all rolled into one. It felt lo
The Twelve Scions Chapter 2: Woman in White
The woman in white had no stringy black hair, but there were ominous air surrounding her that seemed to reinforce her spectral qualities. Her dress was completely covered and evenly white, long skirt with long sleeves and came with some sort of a hood. The moonlight glow that enveloped her only further reinforced ethereal qualities that were both chilling yet captivating. She still sang, dutifully as if praising the full moon and her voice echoed across the building that seemed to amplify the volume to be heard a block away.What was she doing there? Why did she do that? There was no explanation that the twins could come up with about the uncanny sight before them then. They were facing the singing woman's back and rendered completely still, dreading that she will turn around.Despite the twins' effort to not raise the woman's attention, the ambience was shattered with the sound of heavy thud somewhere. Lars and Len looked around but nothing seemed amiss, except they quickly realiz
The Twelve Scions Chapter 3: Lesath Beach
When Lars woke up, Len was no longer in bed. Len had always been more of an early riser than Lars did and that day was no different. As usual, Len left some foods for his brother to have breakfast with, which were tuna sandwiches and fried eggs then. After finishing his meal, Lars opened the window to soak up the remaining morning air despite the sun was already high enough by that time."I would say good morning, but that doesn't seem right."Len just entered the room, with a big smile on his face. He was carrying several brochures."Oh, hi," Lars said between his stretch. "How's the breakfast?""It was amazing! Everything's on the buffet are so delicious! Kinda feel bad that you missed that, I mean that's the whole experience of staying in a B&B.""Well, I got more bed, you got more breakfast."Len faintly chuckled. "Anyway, what do you want to do today? I was thinking maybe we could visit the beach? It's pretty close from here.""Beach's cool. Yeah, let's check it out.
The Twelve Scions Chapter 4: Hibiscus House
Lars, Len and Seth were far enough along the beach that they could barely see anyone around, save from some swimmers looking for the more solitary water. The high sun was descending by at the time, stretching their shadows longer behind.Eventually, Seth directed Lars and Len to a rock gate decorated with red hibiscus engravings. It led to a small brick path deep into the woods, pitted between hibiscus shrubs. It wasn't a long walk and a set of buildings was quick to emerge from all the greens.The buildings were three separate compounds, with big terraces and tribal engravings all over its columns and some walls. There were no sounds of construction, only loud concert of little animals from the forest. It was a bit alarming for Lars as he gave Len a meaningful, suspicious glance."There's no one here," Lars said."Maybe the other workers are resting inside. It's still lunchtime, I think," Seth said.A faint conversation whizzed through the hot air. It came from a different c
The Twelve Scions Chapter 5: Creature in White Mist
A monstrous growl erupted, shattering the silence. Lars and Len were no longer quiet with their breaths. They were trapped in a room with unidentified, most likely dangerous creature waiting outside. Should that thing out there come inside, they knew they were doomed for. They cornered themselves by hiding there.The door was moving. Something seemed to nudge it open, but there was nothing on the other side. Instead, there was a curtain of pure white mist that seeped in through the room. The mysterious mist was crawling across the room, unmistakably the same as previous night."Lars, what do we do?" Len whispered."I don't know, Len. I... I don't know."Lars and Len knew that one mistake could cost their lives in this situation. One wrong move was all it takes. They looked at each other in a moment of silent understanding and nodded. They went for it.The terrified twins took off in a scrambling run, disoriented and aimless amidst the world of pure white. Lars tightly grabbed
The Twelve Scions Chapter 6: Sword of Starlight
'Can you hear me, o brave soul?'In the void, a voice resonated. Lars could never remember how this event fully transpired and what was it that said to him. All he knew was that a voice called out to him. The voice was calm, with certain warmth of welcoming yet also with a melancholy of bitter parting.Lars opened his eyes and found himself in an empty white chamber. The room was brightly lit, like the pristine white walls were made of light itself. There were runic writings on the wall and some were on the floor, circling the entire room.The runes were alien writings for Lars and yet despite he couldn't understand any of it, he was captivated. The soft golden glow emanated from the runes felt so soothing it was almost hypnotizing him. The runes glowed in unison, in a manner that resembled a heartbeat resonance."Where... am... I?"Lars' voice echoed across the room, yet it traveled ever so slowly to his own ears. He was completely delirious, mind hazy and body felt like hot
The Twelve Scions Chapter 7: Mist Lotus
After being screamed at, Lars immediately went to lift the monster's body for Tirana to wiggle herself out of there. He found the body surprisingly light despite he was moving roughly an adult bear sized creature with ease and no assistance at all. Len's jaw was dropped due to either too shocked or too confused watching Lars' incredible display of strength."Thank you," Tirana said after she could finally stand up. "And thank you for the earlier, as well."Tirana looked at Lars for a while before she smiled, showcasing her pretty dimples. Her prominent cheekbones were rosy and sweaty from the earlier battle. While Tirana dusted off dirt from her white clothes, Lars picked up her spear and handed it to her. She clicked a switch on the spear's socket and the handle was significantly retracted, turning it into a rod more than a spear. She put it on her bag and fished out a fancy bottle containing turquoise tinted water."Are you hurt anywhere? You should drink this if you do."Lar
