Altora: The Chronicles Of The Ren-Ky Warriors

Hunter looked up to see a large building in the distance, Lowell stepped out in front of them.

"Welcome to Indala, the capital of the Inroar Dynasty and where you shall see the King, my grandfather."

Hunter went cold as he listened to Lowell announce where he was. Hunter walked up to Lowell. "Wait, your grandfather is Lovell's?"

Lowell raised his brow at him, "who is this Lovell?"

Luna came closer. "Lovell Quacey Krisnik? The late Princess Ulva's son?"

Lowell's eyes widen. "Wait, you mean Uriel Quacey Krisnik?"

Luna looked at Hunter, "Wait, what?"

Lowell smiled as he looked at them. "Lovell, or Lowell in my case, is a nickname for young wolf beastmen. Where we are called this until we become a.d.u.l.ts. It's not surprising that you never knew. I am betting Uriel doesn't even know his real name?"

Luna turned her gaze to the ground. "Well, you see, we have some bad news to tell you about Lov—sorry, Uriel."

Lowell stared at her. "What do you mean?"

Hunter began to rub his arm, "Well, you see is I killed him a while ago trying to save my friend that the Faremin were using against me, and their goal was to kill Uriel, my friend and I in one go."

Lowell began to growl as he looked at Hunter, then calmed himself. "Just like his mother, he probably sacrificed himself to save you from them?"

Hunter nodded. "Yes, plus, I am his clone." Lowell stared at him, then lifted his shirt. Hunter pulled him away. "Hey, what was that for?"

Lowell looked at him. "Hunter, you are not a clone because you smell of Ulva?"

Hunter and Luna looked at each other, then Hunter turned to Lowell, "what do you mean? I was born from a tube. There is no way I was born from Ulva?"

Lowell shook his head. "No, you were because clones have no belly buttons?' He pointed at Hunters stomach. "That's how I figured that out. You and Uriel are twins."

Luna gasped as Hunter started to lose his balance. "But how am I?"

"Human and not part beastman?"

Hunter stared at Lowell, "Yes?"

Lowell sighed as he looked over to the capital. "My—sorry, our grandfather can explain that to you, but this also means you have no legitimacy to the throne either."

Hunter nodded as they made their way to the capital.

Hunter looked around, seeing the eyes of many beast folks staring at him. Luna looked back at him as Hunter felt confused by everything that was happening. His very identity stripped from him as he now knew that Lovell was his real brother.

The guards open the gate to the throne room, the wall adorned in silver as they walked down. Lowell knelt before his grandfather.

"Your majesty I bring before you, Lady Luna and Master Hunter. They have journeyed here in search of allies to aid them with defeating Demora?"

The king looked over at Hunter and scorned. "What is the most treasured tool of the Faremin doing here and not with his people?"

Lowell looked up at his grandfather. "Because he has defected. Plus, we have also found out what has become of Ulva and her unborn children."

The king stared at Lowell, "what are you saying? That her unborn pup is alive?"

Lowell nodded, "Yes, and no. Forgive me, but Uriel is dead, and Ulva's other is here before you."

The king stood from his throne. "Are you telling that Hunter is the other? How is this possible? She was found to have only one life force within her?"

Luna stood up, "I have no idea what you mean, but Lovell and Hunter are identical where Lovell inherited everything, and somehow Hunter is only human? We know you must be confused but we need your help. I—"

"Enough child, you have no right to speak to me like that! Only ones I will trust, and you are nobody. Just another rebel from the Faremin kingdom asking for our aid! So—" The king stopped as Luna began to glow an unprecedented glow. As the mark started to shine on her c.h.e.s.t. The men stood in shock as the king stared in shock at Luna.

"You have no idea at all who I am. Well let me tell you! I am Luna, the reincarnated Goddess Lunatica! Your late grandson Uriel was the Ren-Ky warrior of light, and he had died protecting me and as well as Hunter here. Even before we found out who Hunter was, Lovell saw him as a brother. A bond that cannot be broken! So, if you are telling me that your grandson of your late daughter is not welcome because of his past, then you have no right to be on the throne!"

Luna glared at the king as Hunter looked up at him. Lowell cringed at Luna's actions, feeling that his grandfather was going to tear her apart. The king stared at her, seeing that she had gone through a lot to get to where she was. He sat down and looked at Hunter.

"Ulva might have been my daughter but was actually part human. She might not have seemed it since she looked exactly like any ordinary beastman. Yet she never knew nor did any of the other gods. Lady Luna, please forgive me, but my people had but given up on ever seeing you win this war?"

Luna calmed herself before bowing at the king. "It is alright, I am just glad you were able to see the error in your thinking."

The king nodded, "Call me, Alaric. Now you two came here originally to seek for allies to fight with you. What of the other Ren-Ky warriors? Have they been found?"

Luna looked away as she could not find the words. Hunter stepped forward. "Alaric, sir. They left us shortly after Lovell's death. Things became tense after what I have done. My brother left me to the ren-ky jewel of hope in his wake. Yet because of the fresh wounds that I caused they left to find themselves. We have no idea when or where we will all meet again, but rest assure when that comes, it would be nice to know that the kingdom of Inroar is on our side."

Alaric stared into Hunters' eyes, "You have the eyes of a true king young man. But not as the leader of the Ren-Ky." Alaric closed his eyes. "Very well, you have our support." Luan turned to Hunter in excitement. "But you shall both stay here for a while."

Luna looked back at Alaric. "Whatever do you mean, your majesty?"

Alaric smiled, "I wish to know more about Lovell, and you as well Hunter. I feel I might gain some closer if I know the whole story?"

Hunter bowed. "I think that is reasonable, um—grandfather?"

Alaric smiled at Hunter as he led them away. "Now let us talk. The two of you have much to say, but that is not until later."
