Chapter 4 - Rionel

They keep working out for hours before the master calls out to them suddenly and they all convene and line up in front of him.

He looks at them once again, his eyes stopping at kelvin

"Kelvin, you say you're brother is stronger than you, why do you say so?"

He replies "Well, I tried to fight him twenty different times but I got knocked out everytime without even getting a hit in".

The master asks "Do you know your brother's story kelvin?"

"Well yeah, he was kidnapped by our uncle back when he was a baby and dad only got him back after he was 10, I was there when he was brought back, he slept like a log for a day and a half"

The master nods saying "you know your brother was kidnapped as a baby but it seems you dont know the full story, he was kidnapped by a league of assassins and not any league of assassins but the best among all the league of assassins. They called themselves 'deicide', they carried out assassinations on immortals, demi-gods, gods and even assassinated a sovereign once. Your uncle was their leader, he was the sovereign of assassinations anax and was also the one who orchestrated the kidnap-"

"But why would he kidnap his nephew??" Astrix asks

"He wanted power, the power of an elemental sovereign" he says as he pointedly looks at gwayne.

"It was me he wanted!" Gwayne says in a calm voice.

The master answers "Yes"

Freya asks "but how did he even know she's an elemental sovereign".

Their master pauses before he talks again "A divination is made by several gods of divination every decade to find out the next elemental sovereigns."

"A thousand years has passed since the last elemental sovereigns disappeared, the universe has lost it's balance because of that, entire solar systems have fallen apart and many destroyed, planets swallowed by the sun while some adrift in space, countless dead while those those who managed to escape have lost everything, as such finding the next elemental sovereigns and training them to become sovereigns was of great importance."

"Word got out that your mother was going to give birth to an elemental sovereign but even though many coveted your power none dared to try anything."

"That was because I along with your father anat and his brother anax were ready to die to protect you and your mum, your father, the sovereign of money. I, the sovereign of training and your uncle the sovereign of assassinations with the gods and immortals under us and all the gods and immortals under your mom, the sovereign of knowledge Ishem."

"After your mother gave birth to your brother, your father named him rionel. He was taken by one of the immortals to be bathe and cleaned, your uncle volunteered to go with them just to keep a eye on things but after thirty minutes of silence we decided to check up on them before we finally found the immortals dead, your uncle gone with rionel along with all the gods and immortals under him, none of us saw it coming. After all we all trusted your uncle very much."

"In a twist of fate nobody saw coming, you we're born an hour after your brother was born, and it turns out you we're actually the elemental sovereign." He says as he looks softly at gwayne.

Astrix asks "master, so what happened. Did they suddenly grow a conscience and gave him back after ten years?"

The master answers "No... Ten years ago, the day rion was found, anax contacted his brother since the incident giving him a location to come and pick his son's dead body, anat moved immediately but when he arrived at the place, all he saw was dead bodies strewn across the field and the assassin's headquarters on fire, he searched the place until he finally found rion's body far apart from the rest, but miraculously he was still alive and breathing and even more suprisingly uninjured. While anax nowhere to be found and hasn't been heard from till this day."

"I'm afraid what transpired that day can only be answered by rion himself."

"Now, you're all dismissed."

They all turn and leave the room chatting among themselves as the master looks on before he turns looking at the obstacle course with furrowed brows deep in thought.

In a solar system far away in a hidden plane, with eight planets but the only one with life being the third planet closest to the sun called earth. The sun shines in a place covered with large green tress close to it is a huge wall stretching wide with a gate. Inside it is vast space stretching from the start of the forest with tarred road all the way to the end. The villa decorated with beautiful flowers, well trimmed trees with various parking spots with all sort of luxury cars parked in it. In the middle is a fountain with a golden statue of a man and woman holding each other.

A large white mansion stands tall at the end of the villa, inside the villa with many rooms, in a room at the far left side of the mansion a handsome youngman with smooth and spiky white hair curling forward stirs awake, even though he's just waking up, there's no hint of wrinkles or eyebags on his face as he opens his eyes which appeared glazed over with white smoke covering his eyeballs.

Just then the door opens as a man looking like him but older with short white hair and short beard and mustache comes in with a tray of food with different dishes prepared saying

"Good morning rionel"

Rionel groans before answering "Morning father"

The man smiles as he looks at his son saying

"All you've been doing is sleeping, watching and playing games since you came back, why don't we spend some quality father-son bonding time just for time today, huh?!"

Rion starts eating his food with uninterested eyes as he says "No" with a cold tone.

The father undeterred says "come on, it'll be fun, it'll be just the two of us"

He gets the same cold reply "No"

He makes puppy dog eyes at his son saying "please?." And once again the same cold reply rings out "No".

He says "pretty please??."

This time rionel sighs a heavy sigh saying "You won't stop till I day yes won't you?."

The father nods and with a heavier sigh he says "fine".

The father celebrates pumping his fist in the air saying "It'll be really fun, you'll see" as he leaves the room.

Rion heaves another sighas he finishes his food and enters the bathroom to bathe.
