CHOICES

A week after the Blood Moon training, Cesar has gone inconsistent when it comes to combat training, Andree was able to notice that, and she finally tried to tap into Cesar's mind.

Since Andree was a kid, he had never tapped into Cesar's mind since the first time he attempted to, the first time she tried to do it, it was not a good idea. As she enters his mind, she had come face to face with a dangerous individual. Cesar's mind back then was filled with intermixed powerful negative emotions and positive emotions. When she tried to access his mind to know why he was acting weird lately, she was again confronted with the same environment.

Cesar was a warrior not by choice, but by circumstances in order to survive. His physical strength and combat ability made him one of the best elite warriors of the Paglaum, but he became a follower of Prince Leon or whom they knew as Leon one of the guardians of the Alpha bloodline. From the moment he got to know who the person really was, he stoops down as being part of the Elite team and became Leon's companion until the time the attack of the Alkantans happened that brought about the banishment of the remaining future heirs to Alpha.

Aside from having been engaged in various battles and combats, where the need to kill an opponent has become a necessity to save your allies, he have kept every dark emotions of his at the back of his mind, Although Cesar was not like Andree whom can use the extent of her mind ability, but he was learned how to forget things specially the painful ones, he was so good in brushing off any  feelings he had that he deemed unnecessary, he might have turned a blind eye to its effects on him.

Andree entered Cesars mind and saw him in a middle of a circle, it seemed like it was a magical one, no it was a circle made from his good thoughts, memories and emotions, they seemed to be circling around him and keeping him away from the black smoke-like creatures at are trying to penetrate the circle. Cesar was at the center of it, she saw Cesar holding a sword with a stance ready to attack. 

Andree was able to distinguish that those smokes were the emotions she had been detecting the moment she tapped into his mind.

Cesar saw Andree emerge from the black smokes and hollers to her, "Andree! you dared to use that against me!"

"No! It was not against you; I am here to help you". she answered to remove any negative impression Cesar had knowing that Andree used her mind ability on him. "You have been acting different lately, man! I was worried." she added.

"You said you would never use that with us?!" Cesar said, shouting hysterically.

Andree noticed Cesar's unusual behavior, so he tried to calm him down. "No, No, If I needed to, if I could use to help, I would use it with anyone!"

Cesar was seemingly getting anxious he kept shouting, "traitor! Traitor! you said you only use that to enemies!"

Andree has caught herself in a situation where she felt like she caused Cesar to end up being emotionally and mentally demoralized. She had no idea how to handle the situation, she stood there in the middle of the black smokes that are seemingly becoming more unsettling for a couple of minutes trying to figure out what to do. Whenever she tries to approach Cesar, he would point his sword at him and attack him. 

Andree saw that the white smoke circling around Cesar was thinning down, the black smoke was taking over. She knew that it would lead to a fight, but she has no weapon to par with Cesar's sword. Suddenly she saw that Cesar was not in his former place anymore, she tried to feel his energy and detected that he was approaching him in a fast speed and ready to attack her with his sword. Andre could only dodge the attacks coming from Cesar as he could not go near him because of the distance between caused by the sword.

Cesar was looking terribly agitated so Andree decided to try double up her speed knowing that it will use up his energy twice as normal, she decided to do it to contain Cesar by grappling with him.

"Cassius! stop acting like me!" She shouted while initiating her plan. Andree went for the mid part of Cesar and by attacking from the back so she could get away with the sword.

She successfully got hold of Cesar's torso, tackled him down for him to be unable to make some movements specially his hand that was holding the sword, She was able to contain Cesar and had him calm down by hugging him and telling him, " I am you child, you would not want to hurt me, I know, Please also know that I intend not to cause you harm by doing this."

She felt Cesar was not anymore struggling, he seemed to mellow out and started crying. I was sorry, I am getting overwhelmed by this negative force within me. 

“Remember when you told me what my father was always telling you,” I will use my abilities to whatever I wanted to, and I know you and father have faith in my decisions.

“Sorry for keeping everything a secret from you, we needed to.” Cesar replied.

“I understood, just like how my father needed to stay with my brother instead of staying with me, I knew that he knows I have you.”

Andree has a younger brother that was also determined as one of the heirs, Leon strategized and thought of taking only one of the heirs instead of two. Leon and Andree's mother, Perlas agreed not to have both their children in one custody, as what they say, do not place your eggs in one basket.

Both children were banished from their homeland, Andree goes with Cesar and the younger brother, Fernan was sent to an orphanage that was tied up with the hospital Leon was helping with. Leon as a Dayton was a healer as part of his Will. To put it another way, Leon was the guardian of Fernan, and Cesar was the guardian of Andree.

Upon knowing that their father chose to look over her younger brother, Andree felt a tiny amount of enviousness since in her case, she grew up in search of an answer to the frustrating void that she felt in his heart, void left by memories kept hidden from her.

At first, she got a little rebellious with upholding cause she was entrusted to keep fighting for, but eventually along the way and whilst she come to know and discovers things, her enviousness had been put to an end. She came to understand why their father chooses to take his brother instead of her.

While discovering her past, Andree was also able to discover something about herself either by chance or intentionally, it was her she longing to transition to male. Although having a well-formed female body with a captivating appeal to both men and women could be one of her Aces, she dislikes the fact of using her female charm to keep going with her mission.

She started her journey to becoming a man.
