"The vision began with a young boy desperately trying to find someone" Genesis began as she bent down to pick up the book she had been reading about Zeal.
"What did the child look like?" Magus asked.
"He was about ten years of age in humans years with short blue hair, pointed ears, green eyes, and he wore a purple robe of some kind, behind him was a purple cat"
Magus froze when he heard those words leave her lips. She was describing him when he had been younger. Eclipse went over to the fiend lord and purred around his legs. A small smile came upon Magus's lips and he bent down to pick up Eclipse.
"He likes you" Genesis said pleased as Magus began to pet the top of Eclipse's head. She then continued about the vision.
"The boy arrived in a chamber where a young woman about eighteen stood alongside an older woman, with three men standing behind them, I could sense the older woman was some sort of royal as was the young lady and boy I saw"
Genesis suddenly stopped when her dragon growled.
"What troubles you?" Magus demanded gently noticing Genesis hesitating.
Genesis shook her head and turned to her lord.
"My dragon" she replied. "She is very angry"
Apologies little one but the vision just really alarmed me her dragon told her.
Her dragon decided it was best to sleep. A few moments later Genesis felt her other half was asleep.
"It must be interesting to share thoughts with your dragon counterpart" Magus stated.
Genesis smiled a little before returning to the vision story.
"Both of the women had blue hair like the boy, the princess had hers held up in a high pony tail. While the queen had hers down, the boy had entered the chamber calling out to the princess and I clearly remember him calling her Schala"
It was then Genesis sensed Magus tense. His red eyes suddenly held anger mixed with sadness. Sadness she recognized as losing a loved one. Magus sighed and decided now was to reveal the truth to her.
"What you saw was a vision of the past" he started. "That child you saw was me"
Genesis felt her eyes widen in shock.
"Schala was my older sister and we were royal siblings, children to Queen Zeal, back then I went by the name of Janus, I didn't have many friends and the only ones I had were Schala and my cat Alfador which was the purple feline you saw"
"But I thought Zeal was destroyed in 12,000 BC"
"It was by a creature named Lavos" Magus explained. "Lavos was the large green creature in your vision, my mother became obsessed with that damn thing after our father died, his death devastated her and her descent into madness started, she used Schala's magic to call to Lavos and it succeeded, because of that monster I lost everything and I've spent centuries trying to make a right"
"How did you get here to this time?"
"Through a time gate, the same way you were brought into my forest" Magus explained. "A gate had appeared beneath me and I was dragged into it, I never knew what happened to my sister, but I plan to destroy Lavos after I summon him"
Genesis could see the determination in the fiend lord's eyes.
"Are you hoping another gate will open?"
"One will leading back to 12,000 BC if I fail to kill Lavos, I want to save Scala"
Genesis could feel the love this man had for the sister he lost, the same feeling she had for Stefan when he was still alive.
"I see in your eyes you loved your brother" Magus said interrupting her thoughts.
"He was all I had left after my parents died" Genesis agreed. "Eventually I will find his murderers and slaughter them"
A few moments passed with both mage and dragon shifter remained silent. Eventually Genesis looked to Magus again.
"Did Lavos kill anything else besides the people of Zeal?"
"That thing was responsible for a large number of dragon shifters dying, that's why your dragon half was so angry" Magus answered.
A swear came out of Genesis's lips amusing the fiend lord. Genesis saw Magus smirking.
"What?"
"I just never heard a woman use such language before that's all"
Genesis felt her face turn red slightly and Eclipse meowed. Magus put the cat down and the feline disappeared from the library entrance. Without thinking Genesis walked over to Magus and she pressed a kiss against his cheek. The fiend lord was surprised at this but appreciated it nonetheless. He then picked up Genesis's left hand and the dragoness froze when his smooth lips kissed her hand.
Inside her chest her heart was pounding as Magus removed his lips from her hand.
"It is late" Magus said. Genesis looked to the nearby clock and it was almost ten. The fiend lord then offered Genesis his arm. "I'll take you to your room if you'd like"
"I would like that" Genesis said accepting his offer. She then placed her arm into his and together the two of them left the library.
