Two shadows could be seen flying at high speed in a dark forest. If one were to observe closely, they would realise that they had painted the sky, With white and black.
Yes, They were Lucian and Leviathan, The two brothers had travelled across two continents just to meet a certain someone.
They were currently at Eternal Nox Forest, Where there was no light. It was specifically known for it's unbearable cold temperature.
Deep within the mountains there were an army of wild creatures. They included of several animals and beast. But the most noticeable were only two groups. One was a pack of cunning and vicious wolve fenrir and another was ferocious purple yetis.
Usually this creatures would be at each other's throats but from past six years this guys had to submit to somebody else. That somebody was right now in deep meditation state in a ice slab covered with different ancient symbols, it was even drawn all over the place and it would release cold energy at the centre, where the slab was situated.
Beside the slab there was a humungous figure just laying and slumbering. But it's aura was spread throughout the whole mountain.
Lucian and Leviathan reached the foot of the mountain and were practically trembling right now. Both of them looked at each other and nodded and slowly turned around, Just in a flash they vanished from there original place and could be seen some meters ahead but under a huge pressure.
'What did you expect coming in the core region of Nox? Now obediently come over. Or I will come down' both of them could feel cold sweat on there back and naturally it was not due to the weather.
They just turned around and sighed. Lucian said "Might as well check out, Big sister is always upto no good. But this time..." both of them started climbing the top slowly and in respectful manner.
They saw the whole mountain and nearby area filled with several beasts, even purple yeti and fenrir were not spared. They instantly slowed down there speed of climbing.
The voice again spoke 'I will count to three, if you are not here by then... hehe'
The two boys were on verge of crying. They reluctantly sped upto mountain and then entered the cave.
They regretted entering the cave after seeing the humungous figure lying around lazily.
But When their eyes landed on the figure in slab and the symbols around and on it, they sighed in relief.
But the creature was not happy with this reaction from the two chicks and gazed at them.
Feeling that reptile eye on them, their body screamed danger. They wanted to run but were petrified and stayed still. Now they really wanted to cry.
At this moment a melodious but cold voice rang in the mind of the three 'You two idiots can't even handle that much pressure? You are not worthy to serve our master. And you Kurakami stop playing around with kids and tell me the next step'
The twins had their heads down and didn't spoke back. On the other hand Kurakami withdrew his gaze and pressure and whined "Come on Eira, Don't be a party pooper. We were just having fun right?"
He gazed at two chicks, and they nodded ferociously as their life depended on it. Eira ignored their banter and said in cold voice 'I said what's the next step?'
"Ahh, what next step you have been here for so long sucking all energy out of this..."
Thier conversation went on for long and duo just stood their without uttering a word.
Finally the ice slab started melting and the next scene unfolded was only registered by Kurakami. The otherworldly beauty called Eira descended on the land in an elegant way. Nobleness was seeping out of her aura. It gave soothing feeling yet very cold at the same time.
She had beautiful white hair. which turned back into black. But It just in turn increased her beauty. She had pink lips, pale face with red hue. Sharp eyebrows and cold eyes. She had white training suit on her. She seemed to be most pristine and heavenly beauty.
The duo didn't dare to even take a glance at her. They knew one thing about their big sister, she didn't like when people except their own master saw her face for long. They respected it.
Eira turned to Kurakami and said "Thank you for your assistance ancestor"
The duo were stunned hearing that, Leviathan who would always be silent and shy among them spoke "Big sister does that mean you..."
Eira raised her hand and told "I know what I am doing and tell me why did you sent the distress signal. I couldn't come so I sent you my current location"
The duo was silent for while then Lucian spoke "Senior sister, Master has left this world and as expected, Icarus has initiated the succession ritual"
"Hmm is that so... So it has come to this. Icarus oh icsrus" said Eira.
Lucian said in confused tone "Big sis, You seem to only hear half answer. I said master has left the world"
Eira smirked at the three confused expressions and said "Well I knew that guy can't be contained in here. So I already kept a mark on that ba*tard of master's soul. The mark disappeared when his soul left the boundary of this world"
The three people had a dumbfounded expressions on their faces. Leviathan couldn't help but ask "But that shadow is almost everytime with him, how did you put that mark on him? Unless... Don't tell me you two.." he had an expression of disbelief on his face.
Eira put a finger on her luscious pink lips and winked at the three. She turned around and walked towards the exit of the cave "Well guys, I'll be off then. I have to cut someone's wings" she said coldly and left.
The three just nodded in daze. The duo also turned to leave as they wanted to follow their senior sister but they suddenly felt the pressure on both of them increased.
Eira peeked in the cave and said "Ohh I forgot to tell you two, The reason why I let you come here in the first place is that Kurakami will be training you, for the next forced breakthrough. So bye bye"
The duo instantly screamed but they couldn't move even an inch and just stood there with a look of utter disbelief and betrayal.
Eira fled the scene while thinking 'Joe you fu*king ba*tard, you better be training wherever you are. If I found out that you were connected to any naughty buisness, Hmph'

Right now a carriage was headed towards the House Sean main mansion, In the carriage, there was only Travis who was conversing with Vlad. Vlad was riding the horse because his father had a fever.
"Haha, you must have been a lady killer in your past life, my lord. Your tricks worked like a charm for me" he was referring to Travis' lessons on how to woo a lady. he started taking lessons in it after gaining attention of Aira's cousin.
To this Travis had a wry expression and thought 'You have no idea about that Vlad. In my past life I was in the state of wondering begger most of my life. At the beginning it was due to circumstances and later due to my identity, haha. what lady killer, I didn't even have a luxury to spend time with any lady'
he pondered a little and thought 'Now that I think about it, In my past life, all the ladies would flee the scene seeing me. I don't get it why was that the case? till now' he suddenly felt chill over his body and thought someone is surely cus*ing him.
he dropped the matter when he felt cold all over his body for some reason.
'Sigh some mystery are really hard to solve, let's just focus in the present'
The carriage stopped and a loud voice came from outside.
"The Young Lord Of The House Sean has Arrived, Welcome My Lord. Travis Sean"
He had finally reached the destination of the banquet.
