Chosen for the Realm

Brother of the Fallen

SEBASTION

We all file through Moira's office, sitting in silence before trying to discuss the events that had just transpired in front of us. Not fully understanding what's going on, we thought we would let them figure things out for themselves so they could talk to us when they're ready, knowing the tension could cause issues if they weren't able to get a grip on what was happening. "You heard Emile, right?" Moira asked me, and I nodded my head back at her although I hadn't told them of what Dr. Morris had informed me of. He took their DNA, and he told me that it was a full blown match for siblings between the both of them. The day Daxton had showed up here, I knew he would be back someday. What I didn't expect though, is all the information that had been flooding so quickly, especially the day Alpha Christian and Luna Margaret had showed up at our domain with Emile in tow, causing a reaction between them all I hadn't expected at first, nor did I fully understand at the time. Emile is the supposed fallen Rowan Torsney, and I couldn't be more excited for Daxton. He has apart of him back, and maybe that will help him figure out his grieving and be able to get himself together for the war to come. "I have a feeling there's more to it than that." Karielle chimes in, before a knock on Moira's office door sounded. Moira moved quickly to her feet and opened the door, Daxton on the other side of it. "You can come back now, I think this is something we need to figure out together." He says to us, before we all shut up and stand to follow him back out and down the corridor, moving back into my office. Alpha Christian and Emile were sitting on the small love seat, silently waiting for us all to file in. I go to sit down at my chair in front of my desk, Moira coming to sit on my lap and Karielle moving to the one man lazy boy chair at the opposite side of the love seat. "So.. Is everything alright?" I ask, when no one had spoken up thus far to break the silent stare we had been holding for the last few minutes. "No.. It's not. Alpha Christian has something he would like to tell everyone." Daxton replied, looking to Christian with a bow of his head and a slight smirk on his face. Christian stumbles incoherently before forming a sentence. "Uhm.. Yes, I do." Alpha Christian stated, clearing his throat. "I don't know how to tell you this, but you being apart of the war that saved us all, I feel you should all know before we head straight into another battle. Do you remember the brother of Alpha Collin that perished protecting his brother from the sword ready to impale him?" He asks, and we're confused to his statement, but we remember clearly the event he mentioned, all except Karielle as she was not here when it happened. "You mean Leo?" I ask him, and he subtly nods his head before going on. "Well, he's not dead." He bluntly says, and I shake my head in confusion. We all watched him take his last breath and drop to the ground after Sasha's sword impaled through his chest, in place of Alpha Collin, ultimately saving his brother's life that day. "We watched him die in front of everyone. What do you mean he's still alive?!" Moira questioned begrudgingly, and we all looked forward to his awaited response to explain further. "He didn't die, well. I-... I am the Brother of Alpha Collin, I am Leo." He revealed, and we all were starstruck for a moment, not knowing what to think of the information we had just learned. I couldn't help but burst out laughing, knowing this had to be a joke. "You're not serious, right?" I laughed again, wiping the silly tears from my eyes that come after you giggle too hard. When no one came forward to discredit me, I had turned my full laugh into a straight line, now knowing their revelation had some type of truth to it. No one had disputed Alpha Christian's words, so something was definitely amiss. "B-But...how? If we watched him perish, how.. just how could he have lived?! There isn't a reasonable explanation to coincide with this..theory." I had regressed, not able to put together anything that would make any sense as to how this could have happened or came to be. "I'm gonna be honest... I did die that day, physically. But.. my soul did not." He started, so we all listened intently to try and understand these forthcomings that hit us out of nowhere. "After I was stabbed, I blacked out. I heard all the voices above me, before everything just turned into pure darkness. It felt like a peaceful black hole, the one where you;re just there. No more pain, no more sacrifice. When I thought I had opened my eyes again, I felt I was in some sort of dream. Except- It felt so real. I walked around in this dreamscape type of environment, and saw nothing but beauty. Flowers had lined a field, woods all around. But it was something you would see in a fairytale, not in real life. I thought this was some type of heaven for the supernatural, that I somehow had made it to be with the moon goddess again and I had given my life for someone I had loved dearly, my baby brother. Someone who deserved a life vs me. I didn't have a wife or kids, nothing to live for or look forward to. Collin did... He had a wife and a son, and that was a sacrifice I'll never regret. I'd do it all over again if I could. As I was thinking back on my life and the good deed I felt I had done, suddenly a beautiful tan skinned woman with hair as black as night, shining in all it's purple and blue hued glory, had walked towards me, seemingly appearing from thin air within the field of flowers. I had not met her ever in my life before she appeared. She told me her name was Celenara and that she was our Creator, a goddess in her own right as she had given us all life, and couldn't fathom the choice I had made. She told me that she needed me here, that I wasn't supposed to die and she would make me a new person again. She went on to say that I would eventually have a chosen mate, and I would marry and be blessed with a child to raise. At the time, none of it registered with me, but today.. Today it all makes sense. The reality she showed me if I hadn't been reborn into another broken soul.. Our realm would perish for the decisions of a few bad apples. I couldn't let that happen, so I went with her plan. I refused to die in vain, I died to protect my brother. It wasn't enough though, as it led to the events of him and his wife's passing, and my baby nephew disappearing along with my nephew being left behind all alone. He was all by himself, sharing with no one but a traitor who had caused his drastic life change, pretending to be his closest ally. I had to come back and follow her plan to ensure it would lead us all here today.. I couldn't reveal anything, so I dealt with all the misgivings I was dealt in order for us all to have a safe life here.. And to defeat the dark witch that I had willingly married. I didn't know all of her misfortunes, as Celenara didn't reveal that to me at the time. She told me that I would need to go on with my life, and whatever happens to accept it. And that's exactly what I did.." He finished off, seemingly wanting to say more, but held back. "SO.. You're saying you were reborn into someone else, not like a new person or anything?" Karielle asked him, and he shook his head. "All I knew was that there was a broken man ready to take his life, before I was suddenly thrown into the picture, reality changing and giving the guy a reason to live. His name really was Christian which I had to go by since the day my soul was transferred. He was an abused child that didn't even want to live long enough to see how things would turn out for himself. She prevented two tragedies with her decision, ya know. And I'm glad I agreed with it, or I wouldn't have had a family with Emile or shall I say Rowan, or anyone else around here. She saved my life and Christian's, and she gave me everything I wanted. However, I was unsuspecting the reality of what would happen. I questioned her when everything happened with Margaret and Emile, asking her why she would bring me back just to have me hurt all over again. After everything that has happened, I'm starting to understand that had I not accepted her offer of living again, everyone would be alot worse off, dead even. I had to be here the day Daxton and Rowan found out the truth, and with Daxton finding his mate whom is the key with all of this, I knew I had made the right choice so everyone could meet the destiny that was bound to happen. Even my boy, he may not be blood, but I love him as if he was such and I will never stop being his father. I extend the offer to Daxton as well, and will be here for both of them every step of the process. By the way, Rowan, have you told them about your mate, son?" Christian looked to Rowan, and Rowan's eyes went wide, not expecting Christian to even touch on that subject, let alone put him on the spot. When Christian saw his expresion, he shook his head with a smile. "I think the King should be well aware of who is mated to his niece." He finished, and Sebatian and Moira both looked to Rowan, an expression we couldn't unlock in our minds. "So that's what Alarah was talking about. I'll be calling her in the morning. You both have some explaining to do."
