Chapter 2: Luxia and the Lord
"I forgot about the castle's view. I've really missed this place."
A teenage boy with light blond hair is gazing up at the clouds while standing on top of the royal family's castle. The sky is a pure, beautiful light blue; the same goes for the boy's eyes as he gazes at the sky. He is wearing a white suit, black pants, and a white cape with gold accents.
As the boy feels a change in the wind, he faces a pillar behind him. "It's been a while, elder brother Lucias. In fact, it's been a whole year."
Lucias appears from behind the pillar as he is being addressed.
"Yeah. You've grown taller, Luxia. Not to mention, I could sense your power before I even got up here."
The boy is Luxia Brayvhart. The second prince of Regnidus, and the twin brother of Lucias Brayvhart. One year ago, Luxia departed on a journey to Danahria, a small neighboring nation. He was in search of strength, both magical and mental. He believed that he could obtain that strength from the Sage of Danahria, who happens to also be the figurehead of the nation. For that year, he studied meditation and secret magical arts.
Lucias and Luxia begin to reminisce, thinking back to their childhood.
"Hey, Luxia ," says Lucias as he gestures his brother to come closer.
Luxia begins to walk toward his brother while bearing a concerned look on his face. "What is it, brother?"
Lucias looks up to the sky and smiles gently. "Do you remember when we used to stargaze up here?"
As Luxia hears this, he smiles. "Yes, I do. You normally would be up here crying because of mother, and I would just find you here and tell you to look at the stars."
Lucias gets embarrassed and lightly punches his brother on the shoulder. "Come on. I didn't ask you all that."
Luxia chuckles. That chuckle turns into all out laughter, reacting to his brother's bashfulness.
"Sorry sorry. It's just that your reaction was amusing!"
Luxia's expression softens into a slight smile. "I've really missed you, brother."
Lucias wraps his right arm around his brother. "Yeah. Same here."
As Lucias finishes his sentence, a man sporting red garments and a pitch-black cape covering his clavicle area and his entire back, appears floating in the air way above them.
"How touching!"
Both Lucias and Luxia surprised, look up to where the voice came from.
"Lord Himura, " shouts Luxia in shock.
Lord Himura or Himura Sagaki, is the technical ruler of Danahria. He is referred to as the technical ruler, because his father Miura Sagaki is still the king. However, Himura makes all the decisions, while his father acts as a figurehead.
Himura smiles as his crimson red hair gently sways in the mid-day breeze.
"I never knew you were that polite, Luci boy. And this is your brother, I presume."
Lucias grinds his teeth and Luxia stands there looking up, frozen in fear. He can feel an immense pressure coming from the man in the sky as he looks up at him.
"Who are you, and why are you here, " asks Lucias.
The man places his hand on his face as he laughs hysterically.
"Patience, young one. We can get introduced later. As of right now..."
As the smirk on Lord Himura's face turns into a sinister look vacant of any compassion, his magic power and pressure increase threefold.
"I'm here for your father. So bring him out for me."
Both Lucias and Luxia realized exactly why Lord Himura is in Regnidus as his smirk disappeared. They're scared. They fear that Himura wants to kill their father. For what reason, they do not know.
Lucias is trying his best to not scream out in fear. Instead, he covers his mouth with his hand trying to control his emotions.
"We won't let you kill father!"
Lucias removes his sword from its sheath and takes off, flying toward Lord Himura, who is standing above him, unamused by his futile attempt at an attack.
"Lucias, no ," screams Luxia. "He's way too powerful!"
Luxia gets frustrated at his brother for charging in and at himself for not being able to act.
"Dammit. I have to let father know."
The Brayvhart bloodline has special abilities that are unique to a few bloodlines that are either closely or loosely related to their bloodline. One of those abilities is telepathic communication between other blood-related family members. At this very moment, Luxia is trying to use this ability to notify his father of the situation. However, the ability doesn't work too well over far distances. But he knows well that the king is the only one with the power to defeat Lord Himura.
"Please come quick, father. Or else Lucias will die ," thinks Luxia.
