"... Because that tattoo is...."
He looked at Kaede with a serious expression "The symbol of the Ignari"
***
Kaede froze, her caretaker, mentor, and family. Was an Ignari? Why did she leave? Was it so that she could find others?
"If she never came back, but did indeed leave then it was probably to get something. Your description fits my mother as well, so I can assume she is. She was probably left to get me."
"..."
"Like how she left me... To find you."
Kaede looked up, surprised "What? What do you mean, to find me?"
"Surprising no? Like you said you were 4 when you woke. My mother left me when I was 4 to go find something. It was you she needed to find."
"But why? Why would she-"
"Has it seriously not clicked in your head yet!? Kaede, me and you... Are siblings."
"Not just any kind of siblings, we are twins. However why you were in Arcadia and I was... Wait? Where were you exactly?"
"Not near Arcadia for sure... I think on the area between Esfaria and Cadis, but I had walked away from Esfaria and then met... Our Mom where she took me to the Arcadian area."
"I wonder why"
"... How was it growing up here?"
Kael sighed "Hell, since they knew I was an Ignari they beat it into me. Every day the knights would beat me till I could fight them. They didn't teach me anything, I had to learn through pain. Once I gained my abilities I almost slaughtered all of them. That's when the King turned me into a soldier.
"He told me he'd help me find my mother if I helped him capture Khione. So I did."
"Well let me help you find her, we'll do it together!"
Kael looked at her coldly "Why would I depend on some weak Ignari?"
"Because this weak Ignari is your sister. Doesn't that mean anything to you?"
Kael wanted to say something back, to go against everything she was saying, but nothing came out.
Kaede ran up to him and hugged him "As my brother you must teach me! Protect me, or something... Come on Kael!"
"I..." He hugged her tightly "I promise I will, we'll find Mom together." He looked at Isamu "After we beat him."
Chapter 60: The Battle at the Auction (5)
Story by: LordKoi
"Who is he?"
"Isamu, The Black knight of Honor, however he wasn't always Honorable. What made him honorable was Charlotte. She mentally tortured him till he became like a dog."
"Isamu could grow incredibly powerful, but what stops him from reaching his peak is that he does dishonorable things. He doesn't even know he is, like hurting people, enslaving."
He looked at Kaede who was ready fight.
"However him and Kingsley aren't the only one's we gotta worry about."
She looked at him with a confused face "Who else do we have to worry about?"
"Many others, but one in particular is Apep Deimos he has an innate ability called Absolute Chaos."
"Well let's get to fighting shall we little sis?"
Note: Kael is calling her little sis, because he's more experienced than her. Not because of age.
Kaede nodded
They walked up to Kian and Isamu.
"I'll begin with your first lesson."
Isamu kicked Kian away.
"Your still so dis-"
What interrupted Isamu was 2 punches to the face by the last Ignari.
Kael Ignari
and
Kaede Ignari
Children of Alisha Ignari
Isamu was send back a bit. He looked up to what hit him. "K-kael?" The person who was supposed to help him was now... Attacking him?
"Isamu you don't have to fight anymore. We can defeat the King!"
"... What?" The knight stopped "We can defeat the King?... Why in the absolute hell would I ever DO SOMETHING AS DISHONORABLE AS THAT!!!" He swung his sword hard into the ground sending everyone back.
"A three on one?! DISHONORABLE!" His armor began grow a golden aura.
Fighting against your Kingdom?! DISHONORABLE! Dirty fighting?! DISHONORABLE! Alliance with the enemy to fight an ally?! DISHONORABLE! All of it is... DISHONORABLE!!!" With each Dishonorable his Aura grew more and more.
Kael grunted "Damn it!"
Kaede turned to look at him "What? He's just blabberin"
"No... He's judging us, this is Dishonor at it's peak... Judgement."
"I thought you said he couldn't reach his peak?!"
"Yeah he wouldn't have, but we gave him a lot of what he needs, which is why I wasn't to into fighting him, but... Your little friend needed the help."
Isamu looked at all three of them "It's time to judge your Honor."

Kaede looked around her as the area darkened.
Then she saw her younger self. Covered in blood.
"What is this?"
She then saw herself eat humans.
"Why am I seeing this?" She stepped back and stepped on a twig.
Her younger self turned with murderous intent and dashed towards her.
She grabbed her hand "Stop! I'm you, you can't hurt me!"
But it wasn't going to work, the girl before her didn't understand a thing.
Her younger self opened her mouth...
Chomp
***
Kian saw his younger self as well. He was on the ground dirty and beat up.
He looked at the boy "... What... What the... WHAT THE HELL!!!?"
The boy turned his nose bleeding
"Where are those bastards! I'll kill them!"
"They're gone... They'll be back to hurt me again tomorrow. Then the day after that."
"THEN TELL GRANGRAN!"
"I can't... She might try to solve things and get hurt."
"Then ..." He bit his lip.
I'm hopeless, even now I can't save myself. Am I really that weak?
***
Kael saw his younger self standing above a boy who was breathing slowly, bloody and motionless except the breathing.
"Get up"
He kicked the boy "I said get up!"
"... So, this is Judgement huh?"
He looked around "I guess you go by our past and see how honorable we are. I wonder what will happen to me." He smiled "I can't wait!"
And with this, Judgement begins
