"I have a feeling Aragrith may have just the thing." Volrund says as he returns "He grabed the one he was fighting on his way here he's getting all worked up over it so it has to be something good. He isn't stupid enough to get so worked up without reason."
"Is he certain it's someone who counts?" Sinreve asks
"Oh this one counts!" Aragrith says "Even if not to them to us, this one counts." he enters smiling, and dragging a struggling Llyr behind him. "It's just a pity Aldric can't join us. He's the one who will really enjoy this."

"And this maggot is whom?" Atronus snaps.

Aragrith smiles "Remember that little experiment I did a while back with Aldric's son from the woman who we thought was Rowan's biological daughter but was just adopted?"
"He isn't." Rodetta says
"He is! And the one we want too!" Aragrith smiles "To clearly answer your question Atronus, this maggot is our maggot, more specifically, Aldric's maggot. This body is the one from that human we picked up, but it has Aldric's boy's soul and so on in it. And here's the the best part: it worked. He can cross the Wall." Aragrith says with clear excitement.
"Excuse me?" Llyr says

"So...we had a loophole...and we didn't know it? So...I lost my son...to Vadris' little plan...FOR NOTHING?" Atronus yells.

"Well, we didn't know until just now." Aragrith says "Remember Atronus we thought it was a failure. But when I saw this one I sensed who he was, and then sampled what power he had, and I realized we were wrong...I'm sorry it wasn't in time to save Garrok."
Rodetta frowns "Vadris has seen this one shouldn't he have noticed?"
Aragrith shrugs "Ask him."
"What makes you idiots think I'll even help you?" Llyr asks

"You can save your people if you do...Nephew." Atronus says.
"Vadris seems distracted. That Vanora...he's too invested in her." Crytax says.

"You think I'm dumb enough to believe that?" Llyr says
"It's the truth though, you are powerless to stop anything now. But if you were a good Grandson, and helped free your grandfather, I don't see why he wouldn't spare your people. We wouldn't have to kill any more of them really either." Rodetta says

"You could save the Animus, Cathias and even your queen. I'd even...let the one who killed Garrok go if it meant freeing Sardoth." Atronus says. "I am a man of my word. The Holfinhelm name demands nothing less."

"Yeah well word on the street is it also demands backstabing of a both figurative and literal sense. As well as plotting and schemeing. So do understand my reservations." Llyr says
"Hey remember that's your name too kid. It that was you really believe why not keep up the family tradition?" Belgae says
Llyr frowns, as it sinks in exactally who they were telling him he was.
Rodetta scowls at Belgae "I'm sure we could arrange some sort of reassurance for you."
"I don't even know if your telling the truth now..." Llyr says
"Ahh, best skip the denial stage I think I could give just the proof you need other than a paternaty test." Aragrith says.
Satine looks at Llyr a moment before smiling "Now now everyone...perhaps it would be better to let him rest and think on it." she stands and looks at him "It is quite a bit, and we wouldn't be able to go right away anyways." she looks at Atronus "Uncle, why not have Aragrith proove to him he is Alridrc's missing son, and let him think a bit, and we can take care of Garrok's rites?" she asks, with a little glimmer in her eyes that meant she had an idea to gain his trust.

"Deal with it however you need to, just...get him out of here before do something rash in my grief." Atronus says, sounding saddened now. "In fact you're all dismissed until then...I...am in no mood for meetings anymore."

Rodetta nods "Until later then." she says and turns to leave.
Rorik grunts and follows her.
Aragrith smiles at Satine "Going to come along dear?"
"Yes I think I will." Satine says and picks up Belgae, holding him like a doll and giving him no choice but to come with them.
Aragrith nods "Right, come along Kalrath."
"My name is Llyr." he grumbles and follows, not wanting to be around Atronus anymore.
Volrund silently walks out.

Once he was sure no one was around red tears begin to form from Atronus' eyes as he sits there, his face stone cold.
------------
"Poor Dad..." Trophis says as hey leave.
"Yeah, I honestly feel bad for the guy." Crytax says before looking back at Llyr. "You really should consider accepting his deal kid. It's probably the only thing holding him back."

Llyr frowns a bit, thinking on it.
Aragrith nods "He's right you know. Truth be told if you refuse I think he'll only be madder." he says. "It's a pretty good deal though. You get to protect your friends, get to know your real family and once I clear out all that animus fluff surpressing your power you'll have that. We get Sardoth back, which is good for you too because he's your grandpa and you'll probably be on his list of keepers."
"You forgot to mention the part where he kills everyone else." Llyr says
"He's not going to do that. Your not seeing both sides, only what you've been told." Satine says.

"Like we'd be helping to bring back one who would destroy us." Kilborne says. "You are none too wise child."
"Truth be told I can do what he can, so can your little Princey friend, the new Mysticslayer. Gamuldar too but he won't, none of us will and do you know why?" Durmalga says. "BECAUSE WE'D DIE TOO YOU IDIOT!!!"
"Don't yell at cousin." Trophis says.
"Yeah, you're related to Stupid there. My sympathies." Crytax says to Llyr.

"eh." Llyr shrugs. Trophis was the least of his concerns.
Satine looks at Durmalga "Oh, so you know I saw our servant cleaning your room while you were out. Might want to make sure she didn't mess anything up." she says to direct his anger away from Llyr
Aragrith leads Llyr to a ring on the floor and makes him stand in it. the ring binding him loosens and forms a barrier "Alright, let's see what we can do here hmm?" he smiles and goes to a nearby pedestal with markings on it. "This contraption, allows me to view the magics within a person. So spells, potential abilities. That sort of thing." he explains and turns it on. a sphere glows and hovers above it, with sevveral streams of magic spiralling around it. "Leeeet's see....yup there it is...Animus magics. must have been some sort of last defence they put in place in case a demon figured out how to teleport in. See? the white stream is keeping the central orb dim." he points out.
Llyr was even interested "maybe that's why they all like me so much..."
"Maybe it's why you can never beat your little Ancient friend in a fight?" Belgae chuckles.
"Belgae leave his mind alone." Satine frowns
"Right so let's get rid of this." Aragrith says and seems to pluck the white stream off.
Llyr jerks and stumbles back. he feels a surge of magic in his body "Geez!"
"That should do-Oh what's this?" Aragrith looks, seeing the white stream was replaced by a black one "OOOOH!" he saays with excitement "You're father...is going to be so proud...or jealous." he smiles then looks at the others "He got the transformation gene!"
