Thoughts



::.::Unknown Place::..::

"Unbelievable, how dare that ungrateful grandson of mine do this to the Nassau family name! First he brings a commoner into his life and now that woman he calls his wife bears children, heirs to the city of Athlum!"

Serina paces back and forth in front of a round table filled with scattered documents and the blueprint map of Athlum. A man with a black mask was standing at the doorway with his arms crossed, watching the elder Nassau deep within her thoughts.

"Lady Nassau, there is nothing to worry. I'll get what you want, I'll get you Athlum, besides I want to give that Rush a piece of my mind after what she has done to me."

Serina stopped pacing and looked at the man before her, "Yes… Yes… You will get your revenge and mine, however we must be patient, we must wait until the y let their guard down. For now my friend, we will stay in the dark."


6 YEARS LATER::.::



David was at his office, sitting behind his desk trying to complete his overdue paperwork regarding some water issues in Xiphos Way. Sighing as he finally finished reading the request, he took hold of his pen and scribbled down his signature at the bottom of the page and placed the document at the completed stack which was almost as high has his lamp. He let out his millionth sigh as he saw yet another request from the citizens of Athlum, not wanting to procrastinate; he went and read the piece of unwanted request. He suddenly heard his office door open and close rather quickly which made him look up from his document in curiosity, only to find no one in front of him. Shaking his head, he placed his attention back to the paper; that is until the door opened and closed the second time. This really bothered the Lord, as he was about to stand from his chair, he suddenly felt two heavy loads jump on his back and wrapped their arms around his neck and waist. Turning his head, David saw blue eyes and obsidian eyes watching his every move, which made him smile as they spoke,

"Good morning Dad!" The twins Leon and Reina said in unison.

David let out a chuckle and plucked them from his back and setting them down onto the carpet floor, "Good morning my children, did you sleep well last night?"

The twins nodded and smiled showing off their pearly white teeth, "Yes Dad, we did!"

Reina grabbed a fist full of her father's blue and red coat and looked up on him, "Leo kept kicking me while I was sleeping."

Leon narrowed his eyes, "I did not."

"Did so!"

"Did not!"

"Did so!"

David did not even notice Rush walking into the room with a raised eyebrow, "Well, aren't we a little loud this morning?"

The twins looked up and saw their mother leaning against the doorframe smiling brightly at them, "Mom!!" They jumped off of their father's back and ran over to Rush, crushing her legs with their hugs.

Rush laughed, "I missed you guys too."

David stood up from his desk and went over to kiss Rush on her lips, "I'm glad you came back from the meeting with the Duke of Qubine."

Rush sighed, "I nearly survived, Dave, how could you handle all these meetings which are so boring! I almost fell asleep during the meeting!"

This time it was David's turn to laugh, "Practice and patience."

Rush pouted and the twins giggled.

The family of four left the room and went over to the dining hall where all the Generals, Irina and Alexis were. John and Marina Sykes returned to their building in Athlum, continuing their researches. Reina and Leon grew up pretty fast and they are intelligent as well, being taught by Pagus of course. Leon is a lot like David, cool-headed when it comes to serious times, but got a little bit of Rush too, stubbornness. Reina on the other hand is exactly like Rush, she is carefree and very stubborn, kinda like the opposite from her brother. Everyone in Athlum adored the two Nassau and the two would play with the city children whenever they snuck out from their private classes with Torgal and Pagus. Torgal told David about this, which made the Lord laugh.

"You know Lord David; they are very much like you when you were young. You would always try to skip your classes, especially Pagus's class."

Upon reaching the dining room, Reina and Leon ran over to Alexis and Irina and jumped into their waiting arms.

"Mom is back from her mission!"

Irina giggled and touched Leon's nose with her free hand, "So I've heard!"

Rush went over to the table and sat down at her seat, which was next to David's, and let out a tired sigh, "I am so tired! David, never ever let me go to those meetings again! Oh so help me not to kill myself from boredom!"

Everyone in the room laughed, except the twins began to cry, "No Mom!! You can't! Dad! Please don't send Mom to another meeting!"

David looked at his children with wide eyes and then turned to Rush, who was covering her mouth trying to contain her laughter.

"I promise not to send her away, please do not cry."

The twins looked at their father with watery eyes, "Promise?"

"Promise."

The morning continued through the afternoon, Rush was in David and her room, fast asleep, the toll of her not sleep and not getting enough sleep caught up with her. David was with the twins watching them practice swordsmanship with Emmy and Torgal. He smiled at the fact that his children inherited the usage of the swords from him. What surprised him most was Reina using magic on her feet which made her a whole lot faster and performed many parry blows towards Emmy. Leon twisted and turned his body as he fought against Torgal, who was only using two of his arms. Two hours later, their training session was done and they went over to the garden, just to enjoy each other's company. Emmy and Torgal went back to their posts in helping Blotcher and Pagus with some citizens' requests.

"Dad, where is Mom?" asked Reina as she played with some flowers.

"She is sleeping in the bedroom, Rei. She'll be awake soon."

Leon looked at his father, "Dad, can you tell us some of your adventures?"

Reina's eyes perked up, "Oh please do! Deity has told me many things about what happened in the past, but I wanted to hear from you!"

David's eyes widen in shock, Deity talked with Reina?

"Rei, can you describe Deity?"

The little girl looked up at the sky and thought about it, "Well, all I saw was an angelic figure can't really say the details… Sorry."

David shook his head, "It's alright."

Alexis suddenly came into the garden running, "David! David! Come quickly!"

The said man stood up and looked at Alexis, "What is it?"

"It's Grandmother, she's returned!"

Now, Serina Nassau has not shown up to Athlum for a long time, the last time he saw her was on the incident with Rush's Marion's Blessing. Why would she appear now?

"Alright, let us go." He then turned to the twins, "I want you both to head to the bedroom where your Mother is, alright?"

Leon protested, "But Dad! We can't just leave you with her! What if she will do something to you?!"

Leon knew a lot about his Great Grandmother, thanks to Rush who was told by David specifically not to tell but did so anyways, and feared for his Father.

"I'll be fine, just take your sister and go to your Mother, now."

Reluctantly, Leon took his sister's hand and went off to the bedroom corridors of the castle. Once they were no longer ear shot away, David cursed loudly, making Alexis sigh,

"What does she want now?"

"Dunno, might as well go see."

Running a hand through his golden locks, David followed Alexis out of the garden and to the throne room.


WITH LEON AND REINA::.::



Leon continued to lead Reina to their parents' bedroom. Reina stared at her older brother's face. She noticed his expression was blank, but deep in her heart, she knew he was scared for their Dad.

"Leo, Dad is going to fine. He said so himself! So try and cheer up!" Reina said with a smile on her face.

Leon sighed and stopped to look at his younger twin sister, "You're right, I'm sure he'll be fine. Like those times before, especially when Mom was captured. He didn't let anything bring him down."

The twins knew this story by heart (A/N: If you don't remember or don't know the story, read Returns!!) for Deity, from time to time, appear in their dreams and often spoke of Rush's and David's adventures.

"See? Now, let's put that frown of yours upside down!"

"I was not frowning!"

"Was too."

"Was not!"

"Was too."

"Was not!"

While the two were bickering, they did not see a figure approach them from behind; Reina was the first to notice the person and pushed her brother out of the way and allowed the hand that reached over to grab her neck.

"Reina!!!"

The grip on her neck was too much for the girl and soon she lost consciousness.

"No!" Leon was about to lunge at the person who had his sister captive, but suddenly a cloth was placed over his mouth and the weird smell soon took him over, and Leon fell into darkness.

The two captors smirked and the large one lifted the twins over their shoulders, the other, who was smaller than the first, walked up to the larger one,

"Good work, now let's move before they find out these two have gone missing."

With that said, the two captors disappeared into thin air along with the Nassau twins.
