Conquer

Chapter 12: Wise words

So, it started like this all young and talented under the age of 20 could enter the Seven suns domain. It's long to explain why I had to go, but as the name goes, the domain had, in fact, seven suns, and we were all sent to a specific sun to make it ours.

There were about five hundred people selected for each Sun, and we all had to battle day and night to make that so-called Sun ours. Of course, you had the people that hid and waited for everyone to fight it out and then you had the people who formed factions for one of them to win. All the basic strategies, so can you guess what I did?

"Created your own faction, right, dad?" Miko replied with glowing eyes.

"There's no way Dad would have done that; you fought everyone on the sun, didn't you, dad?" Hyde laughed, pushing Miko.

"I can't think of anything," Demios added with a puzzled look.

"He blew it all up," Black laughed, slapping his thighs before Grey slapped the back of his head so hard that he created a hole with the impact.

"I believe Grey wanted to express that to the boys." Frey snickered.

I blew it all up before anyone got onto the Sun, and they progressed me to the next round because of it. After they all saw my destructive power, they couldn't believe their eyes, and some people were rubbing their eyes so hard that they started to cry. Akuma couldn't get enough of it! He started mocking all of my so-called opponents and begged them to come to his Sun so that he can show them the power in our blood.

As you can tell, none of them was happy about so Akuma had to fight near one thousand and something people. He killed them all unfortunately, the examiners didn't let me stop him because they thought I would only make it worse after I destroyed the sun. So they gave us the name of the Sun and Dark brothers. Oh, I forgot there was this guy called Hans Gremio who was the favourite to win the whole thing. All the major clan representatives started betting magic crystals because of these two fools over here.

'Magic crystals huh, its really like the novels' Demios cusped his chin deep in thought.

"Genius idea I might add," Frey smiled, adjusting his spectacles.

"Your Dad is only upset because we gave him a ten per cent share of the profits, "Black grinned, explaining in grand detail how they scammed all the major clans, organisations and even the wanderers in the seven suns realm.

Ignore them, So this Hans Gremio guy was hailed as the demon of my generation because of his so-called 'unrivalled martial talent' preached by his dedicated followers. It was like he was running a cult. But listen to this I already beat him black and blue a day before in a couple of days before because he didn't want to let me leave without kissing his feet or something like that, I mean, a lot of stuff happened prior, but at the end of the day. He was begging to get punched. He even had the potion I needed for an experiment I was doing at the time, so it all worked out in the end. I even offered to pay him a very reasonable amount for the potion; I mean, his part of the city was in recession, so it made sense.

Well, it turns out that he wandered into Akumas 'death' Sun at the same time; and the things we saw Akuma do to him and those thousand or something people are still indescribable to me to this day. It wasn't even the items, the gold, the lustre, which used to have such lore on me in those days that I even knocked out both Frey and little black to control myself at one point but the way he did it... that is the one time I've ever seen a demon living in the flesh and I'm not talking about the race but a true uncontainable demon," Grey explained.

Watching his son's radiating eyes, Grey continued, " Stories spread when the word of mouth goes around thing usually spiral out of control. anyways after Akuma and I won they teleported us into an open grass field where we all had the run up the stairs into the clouds with no Orbis, I can't explain in detail how they managed to remove Orbis from that field, but I believe it had to with the laws of the realm," Seeing both Freya and Black motioning for him to stop as if telling him that this wasn't according to the script Grey smiled.

"Being stripped of the one thing that saved Akum and I was incredibly funny to the point that we almost pissed ourselves laughing. it was difficult because the seven of us had no idea how to run up those stairs, incredibly difficult actually."

"Isn't it just stairs though like the one we have here," Miko asked a puzzled look plastered on all of the brother's faces.

"He's not wrong, but I know somethings missing" Demios thought.

"What seems simple can be the most complicated," Grey calmly said rubbing Mikos's hair.

"Wait! Grey, you're forgetting the bit where you pulled out the bamboo stick, thinking it was your sword till he nearly cut off your arm," Black laughed.

"That's a different story for another time," Grey replied

"That's not all; they fought for three days and nights, destroying half of the mountain in the process, the light even dimmed down, forcing the guardian to change the realms name. Oh, and Grey was forced to kill him after he activated this blood art that let him double his strength. He couldn't handle the fact he lost *Sigh* what a waste of talent," Frey added.

" What are you talking about?" Everyone turned and faced the blue-haired man who was struggling to adjust his spectacles as he buried his face into an old black book.

"Great! will the two commentators let me finish," Grey laughed sadistically causing both Frey and Black to shudder in fear.

"I through sheer luck found a way to get to the clouds, everything was put into reverse and now" Standing up Grey patted his trousers, releasing small smoke from his trousers but the children could see was a man lying upon a cloud with oceanic sunset bringing forth eye-piercing stars.

" This is me," Grey voice resounded in his children's ears as they could only see a cloud moving gently through the sky.

*Click*

Waking up from their stupor glanced around the room suspiciously with Hyde lifting the couch and Miko pinching his forearms.

"Boys, your lesson is after dinner," Grey said calmly, taking the book out of Frey's hands as he left the room.

"Remember, actually no forget about it," Frey said, watching Grey who was slowly walking out of the room, leaving everyone else in the room silent.

Uncle Blacks Lesson

Dressed in casual attire of just a shirt and some shorts, Black had transformed into his human form. Standing at one hundred and eighty-five centimetres tall black looked incredibly handsome, with luscious black hair put up into a man bun and pin going through it. He also had black magnetising eyes that looked like it could pierce your soul, but despite his charming aesthetics, the marks caused by his bloodline wasn't anywhere as appealing as Frey's; instead, it just made him look like a handsome face and only that.

"Alright, today we will do the negotiations made for shopping. Demios come up here; we will do an example, and as always, you look the least interested. You know I'm teaching you for free any school would be begging on all fours for me to teach them the same thing," said Black

" Sure, sure," replied Demios looking uninterested.

"This incompetent brat already going through puberty at only four. I feel sorry for all your partner as you would probably be impotent there when you are of age* sigh*."

"Uncle, what do you mean?" asked Miko

"When you are going through the same stage as Demios ill tell you," replied Black causing Miko to look at Demios enviously."

"Hyde start it!" announced Black.

"Ok, 3 2 1 Action," yelled Hyde and as if professional actors, both Demios and Uncle blacks expression changed, although Uncle blacks expression was difficult to configure since he was still in his beast form.

"Hi there, how can I help you, Bird?" asked Demios politely

"* Ahem* dear sir, I would like to buy that armour over there," replied Black, and in response, Demios went back and picked up the air, pretending it to be armour. He then lay it out on the table, dusting off the air on it.

"Sir, that would be two hundred demon spirit coins," said Demios with a polite smile on his face.

"*Cough* demon," he muttered, causing Demios to smile even more. Uncle black then suggested," Two hundred demon spirit coins is a fair price, but what would be needed to be done to lower the price, f*****g your ancestor? Or just f*****g your girlfriend while your watching?"

"* Ahem* dear customer, we are not here to talk about private matters as you said already; it is a fair price. Or is it that you cannot afford to pay?" asked Demios, keeping on the polite facade.

"Afford it, of course; I can. Just like I bought your wife last night at the brothel but don't worry, I gave her a tip," laughed Uncle Black, which kicked off a heated discussion with one using a polite tone to speak thinly veiled insults to the other while the other was pouring insults in with no cover.

"It's always like this, isn't it?"

"Yeah, do you want to play the usual"?

"What hide and seek? Sure"

Four months later

In front of the same giant tree, the boys and Grey stood in what they considered to be their 'fighting arena' with their Uncle Frey and Uncle black standing beside Grey like the groups were about to have a Mexican standoff. They all had severe expressions on their faces, not willing to lose this battle of stares one bit. Until Grey spoke

" Boy's its time for you...
