"Hello Aero," I greeted as condescending as I could. "I need you to tell me everything you know and I mean everything."
He looked at me puzzled but understood nonetheless. He noticed V at my side and I assume could guess he was cleared of any suspicion.
"So even though you caught the other guy red-handed you still think I might be involved," Aero said.
"I think you more about our friend Edmund and I want you to tell me what you know, NOW!" I demanded. "Fine, fine, no need to shout," he said. "I recognized Edmund the first time I saw him at your grand ball. I told you our families knew each other but I am not as old as he is."
"His child, what do you know about his child," I asked Aero.
"Not much, I didn't know them, I told you my family just knew about the tragic accident," He said.
"Accident?" I questioned. "So, his son died during the war? Which war?"
"Son? I um, the war," Aero studdered.
"Oh, don't worry Aero, I already figured it," I told him. "Notis was his son and the war was during my father's third life. He lost his life fighting a war on a small planet, Cendium."
"How is this possible?" Paul said.
"It can't be," Cloud added.
"How did you figure it out?" Aero asked.
"I had a vision of a fire, a fire that caused much destruction. I knew it looked familiar. My father told me about all the great battles he has ever had but I know stories wouldn't be as vivid as actually being there. I knew it was the same fire because now I have all of the memories of every Phoenix King that has ever lived. That fire was caused by Noctis when he killed every person on his planet. Sec must have been lurking around in the shadows and took advantage of this boy who wanted more power. My father must have gone to stop the destruction but lost his life. Noctis killed his mother and tried to kill his father. Noctis was born without a spirit just like Edmund said he was. Edmund must have wanted to be a good father that he never told anyone or used his spirit ever again. Noctis grew hungry for power and well we all know what happened. I think the only person as the time that could fight him off at the time was his father but still took his spirit nonetheless."
"So, he took Edmunds fire spirit and his mother's air spirit and joined the royal guard," Paul said.
"Yes, he left Edmund alive on a planet with no one left. He came to Callisto to start over, the fact that Aero's family knows of the tragedy just proves my theory. It's like Aero said, Edmund is older, he had time to build his story and make his past a distant memory, where his son did, in fact, die," I said.
"So, did you know Noctis was his son?" Cloud asked Aero.
"No, we didn't even know if he had a son or daughter," Aero said.
"I know you didn't have anything to do with this Aero and you keeping Edmunds secrets from me isn't really treason just stupidity. I know you had concerns about him just like V did but it doesn't matter anymore even I let my guard down," I told Aero. "I will find Edmund and he will lead me to Sec."
I told my guards to let Aero go, he bowed and took his leave. He was an okay guy but I had no use for him anymore. I had bigger things to deal with. I went to have something to eat with Cloud and V. This trio we had formed was weird but neither of the men made me feel bad about it. V was a bit more upfront about his feelings and his flirtatiousness was always on display. Cloud was just protective and caring. He was showing me how he felt piece by piece. This is the exact love story my mother and father had but I had two people who cared for me and I needed both of them by my side.
I went to the hot spring to relax. I was about to take off my gown when I felt hands grasp my shoulders.
"Let me," V said. He slipped the gown off my shoulders and slid it down my body. He kissed me on the back of my neck and slipped his hands on my bare breast. He cupped them and gently squeezed them.
"I finally have you alone and I think I have waited long enough," he whispered in my ear. He came from behind me and led me into the hot spring. It felt so hot on my skin. I looked into V's dark red eyes and knew he was lusting for me. He came towards me and kissed me ferociously. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He immediately pushed himself inside. I cried out and he covered my mouth with his. His thrusts were hard and fast. The water around us was boiling and my body was extremely hot. His lips were firm and devouring mine.
"Oh, V," I moaned in his mouth.
"Now your mine too," he growled. I jolted up as his push became even more intense. I scratched his back as we both reached our c****x and let out a curse and loud moan.
After, we both went to my chambers. Cloud was standing guard, I grabbed his hand and led him inside. V looked at me and I motioned my head for him to enter.
"You both don't mind, do you?" I asked them. I waited for their response and went to change into a nightgown. They were still standing by the bed but I walked over and took Cloud's hand. I pushed him on the bed and got in myself. I stayed in the middle and V slipped himself in on the other side.
"I need both of you," I whispered. They both replied, " We know." I fell asleep and it was nice and safe. I think it was the beginning of us. Between the three of us, we had immense power and strength. I really did need them.
