CHAPTER TWO: Unfounded

Although they are adults and no longer living in the headquarters they still have their old rooms there. He rented his first apartment at the age of nineteen hoping for a small degree of freedom, alas that was not the case. Yes. He was a prisoner in his own home, how far he has fallen.

They respect and feared the repercussions especially if Commander was to get ear of this, that knowledge silenced the bravest one.

She collected herself and walked away. Thankful no eyes are drawn to their exchange Kade stormed the opposite direction, to the training room to pound his frustration on the damn punching bag.

Cassidy followed daring, more like taunting Kade to spar with her. Of course Kade is more brain than brawn compared to his sisters. His wickedness definitely made up for his short comings.

Forming a staff of ice, she took a cheap shot knocking him on the ground, the moment they entered the empty room. Grabbing his own from a line of weapons he faced her.

‘’Not fair!’’

“Life is not fair. Get up lets fight!”

"Geez how does Alex stand you? You so violent."

She laughed attacking with a cry of war to which he blocked and positioned to kick her but she caught his leg flipping him on the ground. Ducking a blow which resulted to shards dicing and he watched it grow once more.

He rolls out of danger and grabs his staff that was long forgotten during this one-sided battle. She swiftly flips attacking as she watched her brother going on the defense. Slamming her formented water staff against his own they both watched it shatter. Having the advantage, he lost balance and fell.

‘’What the hell? You froze the floor?’’

 Shaking her head, she points at the door to a grinning Phoebe as they stood tall.

"No rule were established."

He refuses to play tagger wars so he crushed the ice below him and used his fire elemental to melt the rest. His sisters were quick to respond as he was bound in ice.

‘’Seriously!’’

"OH. Look at that, more ice."

“Told you ice-skating is a form of training.”

“It looks like you can’t walk on frozen water, more less fight.”

“Therefore by default we win, brother.”

Their taunts urged him to break the ice and his confidence flairs, but his sister cuffed his hand together as one punched his face. When he fell on his knees, they connected it to the ground.

Most elementalist are unable to use their elements without controlling it with their bound (hands) but Kade can not just because of practice but power.

That was the first thing his father taught him by tying him on a chair blind folded, with water raising in an alarming rate and no ultimatum its either he survives or die. Mind you he was about five or six at the time. 

Heating the ice making sure the fire does not roar in untamable flames. He used his air to slam them together, he has had enough of them cheating. Trapping them in ball of wind and earth to ensure they do not escape and waited till they concede to defeat.

‘’You never use your elements in fights nor do you practice. How the hell are you good?’’

"Who said that I don't practice?" 

His chin throbbing from the punch, and he headed upstairs desperate for a shower.

"Ah. Who punch."

Both sisters looks away shrugged and whistled walking off. Tsk. Checking his phone was a mistake May tried calling twelve times, meaning whatever she wanted or needed was either urgent or life threatening.

‘’Hey May...’’

Drying his skin he called her and thankfully he did not have to wait long before she responded.

‘’Are you available Friday night?’’

Knowing whatever favor she was about to ask, I would eventually cave and do anything for her. She was like a sister although their relationship was way too odd, given he could'nt leave his house so he was basically the face and alibi which granted her freedom he didn't have.

His the only one that did not benefit in their little play. What brought his anxiety was the fact in a couple of months he would be a sacrifice. She had to atleast experice life before being trapped in family obligations and he would help her any way he could. 

‘’For you, any day.’’

 May's parents wanted to organize her wedding to some entitled douche bag, not being able to disappoint her parents she decided to fib. Telling all about the relationship they are in and as a favor to his best friend he decided to help her out.

Besides if she’s not happy she would literally not allow him any peace, it’s like a game except there are no winners. She's happy his not happy, she's troubled and his not happy as well as troubled. As said she has to live as much for the both of them as she could, that's all he asks. 

"I'm getting married."

"You sound happy."

"I am... Remember Pete?" 

The guy she had a crush on but fears his way out her league. He rolled is eyes, women. 

"Yeah. Your first secret love?"

"Yeah. His perfect! Save the date."

"If course I will, I'm hurt you won't need me anymore." 

"I will forever need you bro. I love you too much, so I can't let you go in my heart."

"Good."

After a few pleasantries they dropped the phone call and he trothed down the stairs ready to face a matter at hand.

‘’Are we really going to do nothing about father?’’

The twins both knew where he was going at. They were insync with each other they wanted to protect their little brother. On the other hand he wanted to make sure the man that gave him nightmares as a kid, is punished to the fullest extent of the supernatural law.

His luck with fathers. One almost sacrificed him and the other his blantly giving him to a stranger. Everyone sees and knows the wrongness of this situation but none would say anything agaist the commander.

His sisters were way ahead of him. They tapped on the many computers.

‘’Cats are curious I am certain at least one of them identified suspicions activities.’’

Both his sisters went to go interrogate shifters, while nodding to each other they agreed to take out the threat to their humanity and survival of their family. All he assigned himself to do was to go to the dragons and speak to his old master, who trained him through the flames fire and control.

Dragons are long lived and after all these years they have surely acquired possession with great significance to the future. Like for example the scroll, an objective only` heard about but on the Lord Dragons possess.

Kade has been to sanctuary, the land of dragons. Dragons never interact with outsiders but at a rare chance they might be mates, it is said they are possessive and be borderline caveman. On the arch gate in bold letters creatively framed along with burnt tips reads

dragon clan sanctuary.
