High King Vacation
Talia had no idea why she named one of her sons, Rayan. It was not her planned choice, but her subconscious made her think it was right for him.
She needs a good excuse, however, or else her father might kill her and her infant son.
"Father, the pits had reacted in favour hearing the name when I was suggesting it near it "
Ra expression turned thoughfull, and he lowered the blade that was at her throat.
"Father, I only gave him this name because the pit had seemed excited. He will, of course, never betray the league's legacy"
In the end, her son Rayan could live but never be allowed to be addressed by his name.
It was the best that could happen. She raised both twins separately, one to be the heir and the other an asset to the league.
The first time Rayan saw the pits of lazarus water,he looked enthusiastic, in awe and a gleeful expression. It was strange since he was already trained to not show emotions.
She was not aware of what happened when she was focused on Damien training, but Rayan had been allowed to study the pit.
After a few months, she realised the training of Rayan she was in charge of were the physical ones. The rest of them were handled by the father's tutor.
She focused on Damien training, pushing till he was the best, and sent him to mission victorious.
Her son Damien was battle ready ,a great strategic and a leader. He was the perfect heir, and she made sure of it.
When Damien learned of his father name and identity, she had put Rayan behind her mind. He was not as important and valuable as Damien.
He did not need batman protection during the take over risk, nor did he need batman training.
Ra did not like the second twins name, but he was useful for the league. The brat had proven it, he up to standard in stealth,information gathering, emotion control and combats but the brat excel in science,chemistry ,weaponry creation and language.
The brat had the same awe he had when younger upon anything related to the lazarus water.
He asked not about his father like his heir but the original state of the water when he discovered it, he asked permission to try bringing it to it's prime.
He allowed it of mère curiosity, and each and every experiment and reaction was brought to him. Some had better results than others, but there were improvements in the water, so he allowed it to continue.
When not busy with the water research, he was creating poison ,making weapons, or improving already made ones. Sometimes, the child would ask if he could use death sentences people to experiment or record the side effects.
The child,his grandson, had eared the title of head researcher was now to be referred as such. Ha had earned his place and proven loyalty.
Taking upon his training was the right choice.
He will not meet his biological father like the heir, as that is not his purpose to train and become a warrior.
