I saw a review asking if Gregor would be returning to the underland in my fanfic. Yes he WILL be returning soon, right now, I am just giving my fan characters some time to settle into their new lives. :)

Chapter 4: The Reunion

Brad didn't know what to think anymore. It seemed every minute he was finding out new things about himself...he had a sister. And a queen at that...making him...king? No, no it couldn't be true, he couldn't lead a army, he couldn't lead a whole city. Yet the woman who was starring at him right now...with her mouth wide open and frozen, could...it had been rough, but she did it. Could she need his help? Could she need her brother to help her rule? All he knew was that the whole room was silent, and this time, even Ripred was surprised. They all starred for a while...it got very uncomfortable, he didn't like to be noticed that much. "He is not my brother! I have no brother!" Luxa said in a breathless but cold tone. And then she flew off towards their destination.

Brads feet couldn't move, it seemed as thought a whole new weight pressed down on his back, one he had never known before."Sister? ...I have a sister?" he said still not believing what he had heard. "Yes, I don't have much time to explain, I but I will try my best on the way, shall we depart?". Brad had a hard time moving, he tripped on his way to Thanatos, when he reached him, he jumped up on his back and lay down, watching the darkness above him as they lifted off. Everyone was quiet, for a while they started to worry about Luxa, they couldn't catch up with her. But soon, Aurora convinced her to rejoin the other, but she still refused to talk to anyone, especially Vikus and Brad. The silence nearly drowned him, nearly made him fall to sleep, and he didn't want to wake up. If what Vikus had said was true, he was legally the king. Of course, he was sure Luxa wouldn't have it that way, but she needed the help. He decided to talk with her, try to calm her down, they were brother and sister yet they haven't even had a normal conversation yet. But as he moved closer, the look in her eyes told him...this was going to be a long trip, and they were probably going to spend a lot of it arguing.

Luxa POV

Who was this man? Why did Vikus say he was my brother? Is it true? If so, why haven't I ever heard of him? What did he want? A home? Or a place to rule? Did he know? So many questions tugged at her from the back of her mind, but she was too stubborn to ask. "If they want me to know, Vikus will come to me, I wont go to him." she thought. She didn't want a brother, but at the same time...she did. She would never admit it, but she needed help, she needed someone to be there for her, someone she could trust, someone who could hold her when she didn't know what to do. When Gregor has left, she lost that...could this be her chance to love someone again? Not in the same way of course, she loved Gregor as a boyfriend, not as a brother, but any love counted. But who was he? They never talked, they don't even know each other. Is he really my brother? She squeezed her eyes shut while her head tried desperately to find the answers in the little information she had been given, but failed. "Oh! Why hadn't Vikus told me!" she thought angrily. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes, when she did, she saw Brad and Thanatos coming towards her. "He is not my brother...I don't have anyone else, I am alone." and as he got close enough to see her face, she put on her best effort to look extremely angry.

brad POV

"Great.." he though. Now not only do I have to possibly rule a kingdom I don't even know about. Who these people they way back to my old...home. AND convince Eris to come to Regalia with us. But I also have to have a sister who hates me already. Thanatos sense his anger and fear and spoke, "talk with her Brad, in time, she will understand that you are he brother, and she will be thankful for this.". At this point they were close enough to talk, and Brad started. "Luxa, I don't know you, but if what Vikus says is true, then you are my only known family, please, let us at least get to know each other before you rule out having a sibling." Luxa scowled and said, "You are not my brother, I have no one! Understand?". Brad could feel the anger coming to him, but he tried his best to push it down. "Listen Luxa, I can help you, I can-" but he was cut off by her next words. "Help me!? Help me!? You do not understand anything about me! I can do it on my own! I don't need you, or anyone else! And once we get back to Regalia, you may gather your things and leave, you are not welcome here!". The words were loud, hurtful and full of anger, and now, Brad couldn't hold his back any longer. "Luxa! Don't be stubborn! It's easy to see you need help! You are ruining yourself by trying to rule it alone! You may not think it, but you are young yet, you are still a child! and I didn't come to Regalia to find you, I came to find a home! If you are going to keep being childish, then maybe it's better we don't speak again!." he yelled and then signaled Thanatos to slow down.

He felt all eyes on him and Luxa, again, he felt uncomfortable. "Man! She is really annoying!" he thought. "Brad, do not feel anger, Luxa has spent her whole life alone. It will be hard for her to accept you after she has learned to be dependent on herself.". Brad feel a stab of pain, he had acted kind of the same way when he was her age. He didn't have a bond, and didn't want one. It took people a lot of arguing and even fighting to make him break down and find a bond. And when he found Thanatos, he was rude, he felt he didn't need him. It wasn't until the War was declared and Brad saw what real war was, that he accepted Thanatos. He looked at Luxa but she turned her back on him. "geez, she could at least try to like me" Brad said to Thanatos. Thanatos laughed and said, "one day, she will be thankful for you, until then, just be there if she needs you." They landed, ate quickly, allowed the bats to rest, and lifted off again, in complete silence.

"Brad we are almost there, but something is not right." Thanatos said in an urgent voice. "What is it Than?" he asked quickly. "I smell bloodshed, lots of if. I think our kingdom was attacked. Brad's heart went cold, he thought of Eris...no, he was thinking of another woman. The one who had been his most favorite...and his most hated friend, Juliet. She had teased him to no end, they had argued, fought, and even for her age, she was head soldier of the kingdom, and an amazing fighter. He couldn't lie to himself, he loved her. He would always do anything for her, always be with her, they were friend to speak...but they fought a lot more than anything. Brad had refused to confess his feelings because he was afraid she would use it against him, she had a way of breaking people's hearts. Still, she was an great person, when she was in a good mood...and sober. She has a drinking problem, and when she drinks she wants two things, sex, and a fight, and he was usually a victim of the second option, never of the first. She didn't sleep around with many people, in fact she had only had sex two times, but that's because she she got drunk, she usually beat the hell out of her company. He had been thinking so much about her, that he didn't even realize that the rubble he was looking at was all that was left of his old kingdom. Whatever had fought with his old kingdom had won, and destroyed everything.

Once they touched down, he slowly got off Thanatos and sank to his knees. "My home...this is my home...". He was surprisingly sad about what had happened, he really hated this place, he was always teased, nobody ever left him alone, and he didn't fight because he was afraid his rager side would do something horrible. But now as he stood at the base of what used to be a 150 foot castle. He could see, that no one had survived. But there was one place, a place where Eris had found, much like Ares's old cave, if anyone survived, they would be there. Before explaining he ran from the others towards the building that held the cellar, the cellar was a place Brad and his few friend would go to be alone. It was heavily fortified as a safety bunker in case of emergencies, and well hidden. Because he spent most of his life in there, he found it instantly and opened the hatch. And when he did, he found himself eye to eye with the woman he loved, and he never felt more relieved.

yea, so I decided to give Brad a "broken relationship" because I'm just that mean. But what could happen now!

P.S. For those of you wondering, I will be going into more detail about Brad and Juliets relationship (if you know what I mean ;)) but I will not add it in this story, it will be a oneshot. So don't worry! :)
