I don't own Timecrest all rights belong to sneaky crab

Right this first chapter of the story is going to be a manipulation, This chapter shows how this happens when Riley manipulates Young ashes mind to believe that his brother is evil. This is very important to note because this is the whole point of this story so I could learn something from it later on in the story, then we'll get to the adoptions of the two kids AC will be first, and then Roger. I didn't do it right all right let's get started.

A few weeks later

Riley

I was upset when I came back all those weeks ago when I found out that Ash left and went to those lines I told him to stay home or stay at the Elden, but he didn't listen to me. I punished him with some chores I love you I said, but you disobeyed me and obedience good at least you understand what I'm saying.

now that you understand me, I'm gonna do something you're an only child I am your guardian sister Riley the elders are your parents, but then I took you and made you mine. Now I'm your guardian Ashna good I make you a Voran because it keeps you safe from being detected as a human descendent, do you understand good your brother is a bad person he destroyed Volder do you ever trust him warping the young kid's mind was fun. I enjoyed every minute of it mine was vulnerable to manipulation at the age of eight so it was easy to control him. Good my little child now.

to drive it home I changed Ashli's appearance there now no one will know that you are a human descendant or related to Luther. She said I said as I finished up the touches of it I think my handiwork looks great. I love it it looks great.

giving him a loving patent embrace, I sent him off to his room now I just need to figure out ways to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid I taught him the ways of being Volan. I told him the ways of how to hate Luther because of not because of being a Varian, but for the destruction of evolved or things, because my pain should be his pain, if he ever discovers who he truly is, I'm ruined and I hope that never happens because if it does find information could be used against me and found out he killed me for sure for this, but what do I have? What other choice do I have?

I'm doing this for his good I hope he realizes this one day then we wait to break this bell to discover his true self and I hope that ever happens now I have to teach things and I'm not sure how to start as the former princess, I have things I need to do as I continue to warp his mind around things, I started feeling bad about it but I don't care. This is the only way I thought the only way to keep him safe the only way that he doesn't get discovered and no one will find out no one.

no one the next day I chose to well start him on his chores and teach him things like how evil, his brother is, and then his parents died because my father killed them. I love you. I said remember that I remember Riley Ash said, taking my hand and trusting me you ever think of going to ion and do you think you ever try to find out the truth about yourself? Don't you ever do any of those things because if you do, I will have to hurt you for it?

remember what I told you and taught you Kronos is a bad man he only wants to hurt you. He killed all my people my people mostly you're a human descendent. I only turned you into a Vald Orion to keep you safe, but he destroyed my people in a single day, remember that but what did the watch activate Ash said I've been trying to get it to work on my side of course he has. He's his brother's sibling after all and his and the daughter and the son of this and the youngest son of Julius well I can't control if you get the Watch open but and working I guess that might help me discover my heritage Ash said you can't stop me if that happens, no Riley said I said but I don't want you to do that. I don't want you to become a mage but I feel like I need to be said because of what happened in the caves. I want to become a mage so I can help people, Ash said.

my worst spheres were coming true. Ash wants to join a guild when he gets older no, I said you won't become a mage you won't go to Wiggle you'll stay here in Lyle with me and the elders forever. You can't keep me forever Riley Ash said you might be able to manipulate me somewhat, but you can't manipulate me into not wanting what I want to be, and if I decided to discover my heritage you can't completely stop me. I thought he was his brother's sibling. Lulu would think that way this is not gonna be easy work.

boy, I have my work cut out for me. Don't I well I guess so.

I said fine Ash, you win if you decide to discover your human descendent lineage I don't I won't stop you, but I still don't want you to go to Ion to find out anything. It's dangerous there are people there who want to kill you.

Yes, Riley he said he sunburned off to his room kids I thought what am I gonna do? I have my hands full.

Why me I thought why me.

I'm eating the chapter here I know it was a short one but the story is a little shorter and having shorter chapters and not such super complex chapters is the best waiver. The story flows evenly. In this particular story type is the lighthearted, somewhat story with a little drama, but not much and I thought that maybe this would be best. If it's just a little bit more lighthearted, even though it is a manipulation chapter the story is still lighthearted enough that we need at least shorter chapters all right see you later.
