Author's Note: For the Danish people (and people with online translator), the Dragon's name holds a nice translation bonus in its' first three letters and Darkar's in the whole of it ;)

"I still want to kick your ass though." Darkar said upon releasing his brother. "You do realize that?"
"I guess I should be glad it's only ass-kicking." His brother said. "I truly have no idea how I could have become so power-drunk…"
"Make that two of us, brother." Darkar turned to Faragonda, smiling gently at her. "I assume you hoped this would happen?"
"Perhaps." She looked up at him, before looking at his brother who stood back. "As you said yourself: this confrontation was long overdue."
"Yes." Darkar offered his hand to his brother. "Come, I feel we have some explaining to do."

"So… Everything was a lie?" Bloom stared at the Dragon, who had given his true name as Lysdon.
"No, I truly did create planets." He softly said. "And I rebuild those that were there so they were indistinguishable from before I did so. Andros is one of those planets if I remember properly…"
"I laughed my ass off when seeing what you had done to it." Darkar commented, sipping of some of the water in his glass, who had reluctantly revealed he once had been named Skyggon . "Hilarious."
The golden wing of Lysdon twitched at his brother's completely serious expression. "Do you have to give your commentary about everything I say?"
Skyggon grinned. "Consider it payback for having your brother murdered several times."
"I never ordered any fairy to attack you." Lysdon countered.
"But you did create both Charmix and Enchantix so they could do just that." The Phoenix bit back. "Those increases in power just made them more confident."
"They had to be able protect themselves!" The Dragon answered in an equal voice. "Must I remind you of the creatures who neither of us created? The Ashwars, the Canido's, the Derondes…? Must I really remind you of the time where WE almost got killed by an old Ashwar?"
Skyggon fell silent for a bit. "Just continue talking to them, brother."
Lysdon snorted, turning back to their audience. Only Faragonda did not seem to be in some kind of shock.
"But how could no one realize…. This?" Sky asked.
"A translation-mistake and me simply being unwilling to correct it." The golden wing twitched again, this time in discomfort. "Back in the day it was common practice to call your children after things. Some translator thought my mother's name wasn't the name of a person but of a thing. So Sarana became Starlight and our father lost a simple punctuation-mark in his name to become The Void, rather than Vo'id."
"And so we both became beings of mythical proportions, rather than humans with an awkward Genealogy." Golden feathers rustled as Skyggon joined his brother. "Or rather, half-humans."
"What?" Bloom felt like she was being bombarded with information. She probably was.
"Where do you think they got their wings from?" Faragonda pointed at said appendages. "I can assure you, they are not magic-wrought, but fully genetical."
Lysdon threw a glance at his twin, but only got a soft 'later' as an answer. "Well, yes… Our mother was a skilled Fire-mage and her transformations were so accurate they fooled her own body. She truly would become what she turned herself into. Biological processes and all…"
"By circumstances we won't delve into here, she ended up as a dragon in a dragon – village, one could say – which then resulted in… well…" Skyggon looked at his brother, feeling rather awkward.
"Which resulted in those two." Faragonda sighed. "They're half-dragon, half-human."
