Aion's Key

by Ayyarin

Bera once heard herself being referred to as the Key, heir of a prophecy that has been kept silent in the shadows. She knows nothing of what her fate is, yet her half brother seems to know, and no matter how she wishes for him to tell her, he refuses to shed light on a destiny that he says is filled with despair. What is he trying to protect her from? Who is he? Who is . . . she?

10. Aion Legions

Aion Legions (In alphabetical order)

Cloud Runners: A Legion specialised in air combat above all.

Main members:

Brigade General: Merihim

Deputy: Maramai

---

Eternal Watchers: An unusual Legion led by Illuyanka who Ascended when he just twelve over a hundred years ago. It is a Legion of speed, patience and offence, specialising in ranged melee, magical attack and assassination. While their offence is fatal, quick and often explosive from magical attacks, it is not so good on defence. Their tactics usually ensure that an enemy is taken down quickly without too much concern on defence.

Main members:

Brigade General: Illuyanka

Deputy: Alexander

---

Guiding Lamp: Often closely tied with the Punishing Light Legion. Not because of the similarities in their names or that the two Generals are sisters, but because of the opposite roles the two Legions play. The Guiding Lamp is seen as a bright Legion with the most helpful members in Elysea. Knowledgeable scholars as well as surprisingly good fighters. Its members are kind and thoughtful and as their name suggests, they are like lamps that gently light the way for the lost.

Main members:

Brigade General: Helena

Deputy(s): Alicia and Tharion

---

Punishing Light: Often closely tied with the Guiding Lamp Legion. Not because of the similarities in their names or that the two Generals are sisters, but because of the opposite roles the two Legions play. The Punishing Light is a strict Legion of incredible discipline and sharpness. They do not tolerate disobedience and are the main Legion when it comes to torture of prisoners. They are sometimes considered as have no heart, being cold and emotionless.

Main Members:

Brigade General: Lauraia

Deputy: Crystal

---

Ritual Serpent: A Legion like Sudryl's sword with a variety of different classes. Well known for their sly tactics.

Main members:

Brigade General: Sirfilas

Deputy: Lin

---

Shield of Divinity: Set up by the Lord of Justice five centuries ago, the Shield of Divinity is a Legion primarily specialised in defence above all others. It is made up of Templars and Clerics as its main class, with a few exceptions to other classes. But as its name suggests, its main focus is on defence, not offence.

Main members:

Brigade General: Sameth

Deputy(s): Ryael and Thron

---

Sudryl's Sword: Originally called the White Feather Legion. It was led by Brigade General Thrandil – a Musician with a very soft personality. The White Feather was an average Legion of all classes with a general good reputation. After Thrandil was killed at Amaurea's Fortress however, his Deputy – Julius – became the new Brigade General and renamed the Legion, Sudryl's Sword. No one is entirely sure who Sudryl is, but no one has ever thought to question it either, aside from a few of the higher members of the Legion (Beralin, Amia, Michael and Seregon). Since Julius took over, the Legion's power grew shockingly quickly and is one of the most relied on Legion's in Elysea, most respected for their strategy.

Main members:

Brigade General: Julius

Deputy(s): Michael and Surion

Centurions: Beraline, Amia and Seregon

---

Wearers of Destruction: Its members are expert frontline fighters in melee defence and attack, making it a Legion with few Daevas of magic in Sorcery or music. They are often the second port-of-call after the Shield of Divinity Legion.

Main members:

Brigade General: Khamshin

Deputy(s): Makilin and Ari
