The Twelve Scions Chapter 99: Battle of Desperation
The Grand Serpent spoke, and his voice was ethereally terrifying as Lars imagined him to have. His black scales resonated with silver glow that ran from his body to his head. The silverstream gathered around the Grand Serpent made Lars wary of any incoming attack. Lars thought perhaps that was when the Grand Serpent took the fight seriously.'You fought... well...'The Grand Serpent did not open his mouth, but the voice was definitely booming from him. Lars wasn't sure what to answer, so he let his Celestial Calibur did it for him. The sword streamed out a river of burning light. The slashing wave Lars emitted from it was blocked by the barrier again.This time, the barrier looked more defined and more silver. Rachelia's roses and Vayu's flames also didn't make a single dent on it. The Grand Serpent made a repeated sound of chaotic cacophony, which Lars could only interpret as a deriding laugh.Then, in the distance, they came. The Chimeras from all over La Shania Mirepa rushed
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 98: Seraphic Knight
That morning, a blinding white star rose from the ruins of Regulus. The star burned so bright it took the full attention of a certain cosmically colossal creature. The star shone and dispersed the wild silver ashes in the skies. All eyes were on the star's ascension, watching it unfolded into bursting wings of light.Lars has transformed into a white armored angel with six divine wings hovering behind his back, connected by a golden halo. The armor was his own solidified Scion Force, sparkling in majestic grandeur of white and gold. A sword patterned crown rested on Lars' head, having the same royal pattern as his brilliantly burning Celestial Calibur.The Grand Serpent hissed, the loudest Lars ever heard so far. The storm of buildings turned ghastlier as some of them were caught on silver flames. Foul smell still permeated across the battlefield and Lars willed himself to not catch a whiff. By quick observation, he realized some parts of the Regulus has rainforests, mountains and
The Twelve Scions Chapter 97: The Light Within
The white crystal resonated as if welcoming Lars and Len. The entire place was alight by swirling lights, and the air felt like they were in meadows. Though it was silent, the serenity and ambience of the place only reinforced the crystals' ethereal atmosphere. For a second, Lars thought he found a piece of heaven buried deep within the earth.Len let go as Lars made his steps forward. Lars walked to the majestic divine crystal before him and fell to his knees soon after. However, there was a relieved, happy smile on his face. He was finally to meet his savior and guardian deity in person."Hello, Alt'ma."'My Scion.'It was the same voice as Lars remembered, echoing and ethereal."I don't know if you've been watching or not, but... we are in very deep trouble."'So I've seen. Moreover, your body is defiled and I am slowly losing you.'"Yeah, it's because of those damn bombs." Lars then gasped. "O - oh, sorry for cursing in front of you."'Worry not, my Scion. It seems
The Twelve Scions Chapter 96: A Light in the Dark
In the darkness, Lars was trapped in a vicious cycle of fainting and waking up to a numbing pain. He groaned every time, making sure to himself that he was alive despite the severe agony. He also felt repeated sensation of being dragged, carried, or held. Each weren't in the nicest or careful ways as the grip always too tight and the stones always scraped too rough.What truly woke Lars up was the sight of a light. It wasn't his, but someone else's. It was purple and menacing under the dark, but Lars figured any light was a friend to face any darkness. He tried to raise his neck and felt like dying just for it. He wondered why being a Scion could still feel this much hurt.Deliriously, Lars called out to the tailed devil in the shadows. "Len...?"Len didn't turn nor answer. His gaze was fixated at an amulet where the purple glow came from. Lars was stunned for a while, thinking how that amulet somehow find its way home to its creator. He remembered leaving it on his bag at Regulu
The Twelve Scions Chapter 95: The Silent Colossus
The Grand Serpent watched the world laid before him in such a curious gaze. Lars was shuddering from the sheer size of that creature. His trembling hand found his star necklace, and its chain rattled alongside his tremors. He kept taking quick, deep breaths but they weren't as helpful as he hoped.Lars braved himself to look away, but the dread caught him by the throat to the point it was physically hurt to move his neck. He watched as the others were in shambles like he did. Mell was backing away as he looked up, stumbling to a few rubbles. Rachelia supported herself by her umbrella and Wilhelmina was on the ground next to her, leaning helplessly to the ruins of Regulus. As for who held Lars' hand, it turned out to be Vayu. Though Vayu was trembling, he didn't let his gaze broke away from the Grand Serpent."V - Vay..."Vayu's spiteful gaze was a thinly veiled look of fear, but at the very least Lars noticed a form of resistance from him. He realized for Vayu, it was probably li
The Twelve Scions Chapter 94: Silver Eyes
"Len! Len, please snap out of it!" Lars exclaimed.Magnus laughed in the most obnoxious way possible to Lars' ears. "Don't even bother. He already knows. He just chooses to be here. After all, he is reborn as a new god and destined to bring us the promised world."Lars looked at Magnus and then to Len. He didn't want to believe the word of a man who had been lying to them for years, but those unflinching silver eyes deterred Lars quite a bit. Lars wanted to jump down but the synchronized aims from the Sovereigns' guns everywhere stopped him."Len, don't listen to anything he says! He's a monster! He lied to us the whole time.""Lars, please," Vayu said behind him. "If we don't do something, we're gonna be dead here."Lars wanted to scream and break things out of frustration, but he knew Vayu was right. Without turning, Lars nodded and Vayu took the cue. The reflecting threads spread into millions and slicing the Sovereigns in front of Vayu. Their fallen, mutilated bodies made
The Twelve Scions Chapter 93: Duties and Decisions
When Edwin didn't scream, everything was quiet. Too quiet. Lars was sitting in the other room with Tirana and Vorpaltinger, not wanting to see Rachelia's 'infamous' interrogation method. He sat on the couch, lost in deep thoughts of processing what he feels about the recent reveal about his friends.Vorpaltinger sat next to Lars and leaned back, resting on her wings. Lars gave her a fleeting smile before he spaced out again, and this time Vorpaltinger didn't let him."It might seem cruel to you, but The Mandate is important for all of us mythfolks to keep. It protects us from the world too, so... I completely understand why they did it."Lars blinked. "You heard that?""I heard everything. Blame my rabbit ears for that."Vorpaltinger raised her foot on top of the table and stretched. "The Scions... can be quite intimidating to say the least, but they do care. They just happen to understand what's important and the scope of their duties so they won't exert themselves unnecessa
The Twelve Scions Chapter 92: A Scion's Mercy
Lars, Vayu, Mell, Rachelia, Tirana and Vorpaltinger had descended into the giant pit and exploring the corridors of Rasalhague Castle underground by then. Lars was starting to feel himself sweaty and greasy, and it wasn't because of the narrow, humid spaces they were traversing. He could feel himself deteriorating, both from inside and outside.Everywhere Lars looked, there was always something made of slitherite. The walls, ceiling panels, floor tiles, the doors, everything. It made Lars sick, literally and figuratively, and the feeling was shared with the rest of his Scion friends."God fucking damn it, I fucking hate this place," Mell breathed out, sweating."Yes, Mell. We've heard you the first fifteen times," Rachelia said.Vayu didn't say anything. Lars could see that friend of his was slightly falling apart as Vayu held his own hand to stop his fingers untangled like a candy wrapper. Lars reached out and held Vayu closer to him by his shoulder. Vayu just smiled in respon
