The sun rose above the sky, and Mike woke up. Morai came near while Mike examined the chart of the Universe and Liam saw. He decided to toss his pillow at Mike; the pillow knocked Mike and Liam grinned from ear to ear. After some minutes, Theo woke up too and they went to have some breakfast. After they finished eating, Theo told Mike to enter a vehicle with Liam because they had a surprise to show.
"I believe you are the first person that doesn't blame me for what I have done and show compassion," spoke Theo recalling about his past being sure Mike would not blame him for his actions, " I am convinced you've done the same if you were a few years ago,"
"I had someone to learn from. I tried to make you realize, you are making a mistake and can be redeemed," explained Mike to Theo while tried to make him feel better, "you are lucky to have someone like Liam by your side, and to be there for you when you need him the most,"
"Not to mention, we are first cousins, but I will explain that later," resumed Liam the idea of Mike while tried to mark something important, "at that time, we become so close, but we didn't know we were cousins,"
"Yesterday days ago you rescued me from Monroe," recalled Theo about his experience explained to Mike why Monroe did that, "Since Beelzebub has been whipped, the people doesn't fear the supernatural, but the world is split up in two sides,"
"For supernatural and against supernatural," guessed Mike after hearing the explication of Theo.
"True," confirmed Liam and shared to Mike how they ended up in the same room, "Theo's pack left, he slept in his car, and because I owned a vacant room for guests, I decided to invite him to stay with me,"
"These years, I feel bad because his family treated me as their kid," spoke Theo about his experience with Dunbar family specifying, "the reason why I felt bad was that I never told anybody my story and how I become such a monster,"
"You were frightened because nobody would understand, and the one who made you like that used a leash in such a way that you would only feel close to them," realized Mike with shock that happen recalling about two apprentices, "that happened with Anakin and Maul; driven with psychological methods to view Sidious as their sole friend or dad,"
"You really understand his situation, and you are not bluffing," admired Liam recalling the moment when Maul saved his life, "Theo finally told me how it became like that and in the next morning, I found a letter from my father that explained why left my mother without a reason,"
"A day before that happened, Liam with some members turn up another werewolf called Alec whose parents were murdered my Monroe," stated Theo telling to Mike how the hunters arrived in the town, "Because Alec was rescued, Monroe sent a qualified team of liquidators after us, but two of the strike team had other intentions,"
"Monroe found a key with a book about Grimm," spoke Liam explaining to Mike why Monroe thought him so important, "she believes if gets a hand on me, she will find the other keys,"
"Do you desire to cook me slowly?" wondered Mike after saw Liam had a wood staff in the bedroom and took it after him, "you carry a staff made from wood, and as far I can sense, that is not ordinary wood,"
"That is a piece of the tale that you find at the end of the story," shared Theo to Mike while described the events before the attack, "somebody us, and the strike teams are betrayed from the inside, resulting in the death of the strike team and the appearance of some unknown creatures that we have never seen before,"
"The unknown creatures called us Decapitare, a term that we've never heard in our life," murmured Liam because at that time didn't understand that meant, "in that night, I've discovered my dad after fifteen or sixteen years and I uncovered what the word Decapitare means,"
"This is a caravan?" wondered Mike because did not understand why the caravan is so special.
Liam and Theo opened the entrance and let Mike enter first. Mike was shocked to see tons of books, potions, and primitive weapons from medieval age. Morai sat on Liam's shoulder and Theo smiled when he saw Mike's reaction.
"You are not the only one who has had such a reaction," spoke Theo and after that laugh, because Mike was amazed, "Liam's father as quite shocked to see him as a werewolf and doesn't understand how I am a Grimm, knowing my father,"
"What? They didn't know they were brothers?" wondered Mike being curious to know how was that possible, "I guess the gene of Grimm activated after Liam become a werewolf,"
"Yes," responded Liam while showing old documents, "The story starts during the crusades, in the twelve century, the Grimm knights burned Constantinople and stole something that they believed, the one who had it, would have the world at their feet,"
"The knights were betrayed by the Royal Families who utilized the Wesen as the military and attempted to take the thing," informed Theo explaining to Mike how important it was the object, "the Royal Families were responsible for the surprise attack, their predecessor betrayed the Grimms and the Wesen were some sort of supernatural creatures,"
"I have heard many methods about how to acquire ultimate power, but I have my hesitations," spoke Mike after understood from Liam and Theo, the Royals attempted in last 900 years to take that power, "most of them are fairy tales,"
"The Grimm crusaders survived and built seven keys like this," showed Theo one of the Grimm keys and the Grimm book, "if you look carefully at the key, the drawing on the posterior side of the key forms a map where they hid the treasure,"
"The treasure is so important, that it made Azazel, Prince of Hell, attempt to get the Grimm treasure," shared Liam to Mike to cook him in his own juice resuming, "Theo's dad managed to beat Azazel and almost slaughtered him, but was severely wounded with small chances of survival,"
"I suspect your dad is fine," told Mike to Theo.
"That happened last years, but thanks for the concern," informed Theo about his dad condition and explaining, "the camera recorded the fight and my dad said that Liam's dad is his brother,"
"My dad took me and Theo to Burkbelly to look for aid from an old friend of his that is a Hexenbiest," shared Liam explaining how Theo's dad was saved, "Theo's father passed away, but she succeeds to save his life with the help of a serpent,"
"That's not good," murmured Mike because knew the risk of such procedure from his girlfriend, "I guess such magic has its cost,"
"At the clinic, our fathers tried to explain what was going on," shared Liam to Mike recalling at that time had many questions without an answer, "meanwhile, our companions were at the police section and some of the Sheriff deputies, who work for Verrat spied us listening to their conversation,"
"Verrat and Verrat Ahnenerbe represent two parties that emerged during the World War two and were under the power of the Royals," explained Theo to Mike who was the factions, "the Royals, with all their double agents that worked in all type of functions, learned nearly everything,"
"These people have their fists in many tarts if I guess correctly," realized Mike after heard how the Royals operated to know everything at any time.
"More than you would think, and under the control of Royals are the reapers," informed Liam telling to Mike was a faction that fought against the Royals, "there exists a faction called the Resistance that fights against the Royals,"
"My dad was freed from the clinic and we eventually found out how it is possible they were brothers," shared Theo to Mike explaining how that was possible , "everything started when the grandpa of our dads meets Nyna who is a half human and -half Aen Elle and arrived on Earth with when was little,"
"In the first place, the parents of Nyna were quite disappointed, but in the end they let them be together to see their daughter happy," shared Liam to Mike what happened with the couple, "Kevin kept working as a Grimm, Nyna gave up the custom of Aen Elle and both had a baby that is a Grimm,"
"Let me guess," murmured Mike trying to understand what happen, " I recall what Ahsoka said about their desperate attempts to inherit the Lara gene from Ciri, is that it will not be such big problem to split your dads at childbirth because if they are two babies, it is impossible that one of them doesn't possess the Lara gene,"
"You did your homework," spoke Theo being happy Mike understood the reason, "my dad was dispatched to an adoptive family that raised him in the life of Aen Elle and because the Elder Blood is considered magic, was sent to the Academy of magic,"
"As it occurs with each adopted child, Theodas felt it was not their kid and the adoptive parents experience that and told him," divulged Liam how Theodas found it was adopted, "his adoptive parents helped Theodas to locate his real parents, and that was forbidden,"
"What happened with your dad, Liam?" wondered Mike after heard pieces of information about Theodas life.
"Kelly was instructed to be a Grimm by Justin and Kevin and Nyna passed away from old age," responded Liam explaining how Kevin found about the lost child, "Nyna, before she died, confessed to Kevin what she had made and Kevin, to keep Theodas safe, started behaving as a madman,"
"With a week before Kevin was to die, my dad saw him and told him everything about Grimm," spoke Theo about the meeting between his dad grand-grandfather, "he delivered him a key that nobody knew about in the family,"
"Your father's encounter before the night when you discover you are Grimms?" questioned Mike.
Mike inadvertently knocked the glass with Coca-Cola and stopped it with the force in the last second before it hit the books. Liam took some tissues to absorb the spilt Coca-Cola, and Theo smiled at him.
"Don't panic, it is just some Coca-Cola," comforted Theo seeing the reaction of Mike when wet some old documents, "my dad inadvertently devastated a few towns here and on Aen Elle and Kelly went to discover some responses. They ended up working side by side,"
"Years passed, and each of them made their own family," shared Liam about the life of his and Theo's dad, "I am very upset because I judged my father when he left without saying anything, leaving just a piece of paper behind,"
"The force and destiny work in mysterious ways," explained Mike recalling what happen with Ahsoka when left the Jedi order, "why did he leave?"
"The Royals spotted him, he left and resided in Burkbelly, where his officer discovered who he was and asked him to enroll in the Resistance," spoke Liam to Mike showing signs of sadness and sharing problems about his past, "this produced anger issues that caused problems, and I was dispatched to a new high school because I wrecked the vehicle of my professor. Not to mention, I swallowed capsules to calm myself,"
"You had to manage an internal conflict, a burning question that provided no answer at that time and ground you from the inside," explained Mike to Liam what why experienced that, "why did nobody think to exploit you anger by providing a direction?"
"I started doing that when I come from the adventure on other planets and times because of the Wild Hunt," responded Liam to Mike's question showing a clip with a fight between him and a Hellhound, "are you fine?"
"I know what you feel, and I have the same doubts as I had before, but life goes on and this is the cycle of life, we were born to die," shared Mike to Liam to make him feel better , "I don't know if I call myself a force user because I wasn't born with enough force to use it,"
"How is that possible?" wondered Theo hearing Mike's response after had seen him the battle with Devon and the hunters, "you are a skilled force user,"
"My grandmother fought in the first month of Clone Wars and left the Jedi definitely. She left the first time long before the Phantom Menace movie because was pregnant, but returned at times in case the Jedi needed her help. When she left definitely, she met Ahsoka and wished her luck because she passed the trial to become a padawan," spoke Mike about the meeting between his grandmother and Ahsoka, "she cut from the force because she wanted to live an ordinary life and all her force was passed to me after her death,"
"Don't be upset because she would be proud of what you have grown into," comforted Liam because knew how it felt when lost a person that loved.
"I spotted her lightsaber and a holocall, and when I triggered, Ahsoka's ship came," shared Mike how his journey as force user began, "Ahsoka after the duel with Vader on Malachor learned new things about the force and collected force sensitives children to keep them safe from Empire,"
"Can you tell a specific event when you become a force user?" asked Liam curiously to find more about Mike.
"With three years after the Battle of Jakku and when Luke build his Jedi Order on Yavin 4, I join on it with Ahsoka and other force sensitives children find by her," responded Mike knowing wasn't new such new in this new world, "Ahsoka took me as her padawan and when she saw the lightsaber, she recalled to who belonged or who I am and after the destruction of the second Deathstar, Luke build the Academy of Jedi,"
"You overlook Shi-Cho, because I let the force guide my actions and I am quite skilled with Shien too," revealed Mike his secrets about fighting style, "Ahsoka, like me, was supposed to be a Jedi Consular, but what was she to do when Anakin and Kenobi were some of the most skilled duelists, and both of them were Jedi Guardians?"
"Consequently, Ahsoka trained you as Anakin and Kenobi trained her," concluded Theo because recalled the events from Clone Wars animated show, "after Liam's dad left, my family stayed in the town and some elves from Aen Elle discovered what have done years ago with those towns and framed him,"
"Theodas was blackmail and force to offer Theo to a family where they threatened him horribly. The Dread Doctors came to him and explained what was going on," spoke Liam while thinking of Gaunter O'Dimm because knew the evil strike when you are the weakest, "when we go to his dad to ask for responses, we strike him out,"
"I was nine years old, and I didn't have a clue as what to do," spoke Theo with regret about his traumatizing experience, "my options were to take pills to suicide or live by the side of Dread Doctors. I took my sister's heart to become a chimera of Dread Doctors,"
"The evil strikes in the second we are the most vulnerable," spoke Mike while looking at Theo and rubbed him on the back a bit.
"I had killed my sister, my family left and I taught those dumb people who destroyed my family," shared Theo how remained alone, "after some years, my mother died because of a disease. The doctors, in order to treat her, forced my dad to join Black Claw, but my mother forbid it, making him promise to take care of me,"
"Black Claw was a band of Wesen intent on living in a world where Wesen do not have to hide their true selves from society. They were unhesitant to execute anyone who stood in their way, including any Wesen who refused to join them or weren't a part of their cause," spoke Liam about the malevolent group called Black Claw adding, "after the death of Anastasia, Theodas joined the Hadrian's Wall that fought against Black Claw,"
"How did they get into this mess?" wondered Mike trying to understand how Black Claw entered in conflict with the Royals.
"One from Black Claw joined Monroe and spied on everything, and the Royals fled, but the idiot from Black Claw didn't escape," shared Theo to Mike how the conflict started, "Monroe believed him to be the one responsible for the failure of the strike team, spiked the cable TV and revealed without knowing the guy was from Black Claw,"
"Monroe declared war against Royal Houses, demons, and the supernatural," spoke Liam showing to Mike the record of Monroe, "the cretin observed all the planet that is regarding him, escaped from guards, transformed in Wesen, yelled Ocultatum Libera, slashed his throat, and made a claw on the wall while his body fall the ground,"
"Black Claw fights in a wicked way for their independence and the self-sacrifice of that Wesen, united all of the cells of Black Claw," deduced Mike understating the conflict started because of a sacrifice, "the Royal Houses used the Wesen as pets, and I can imagine it culminated in a war between those,"
"Indeed," approved Liam resuming the story, "Black Claw didn't have an opportunity to send their message over the world and Black Claw had the same system of spies as the Royals,"
"We have to return to the house," spoke Theo looking at the clock, "we will tell you the rest in the vehicle,"
Mike was surprised to discover their story, and wondered if he came here by accident or had something to learn from their adventures. While Liam, Theo, and their friends fought for the good of the world, Mike had to confront his own demons.
