User blog:Datadragon Seraphim/Birth of a Dream (Age of Industry story - Louis Syphre II)

(Since my compatriots Alador and Emperor Maximus created short stories about their characters, I might as well.)

''In all worlds, reality and falshoods can be conflated, swapped, bent, broken, merged. This is the very nature of the world I live in, the world I breathe in, the everchanging lands that I stride. One day, my friend could be my enemy, another, my enemy could very well be my lover.''

-Louis Syphre II, during the great advancement of the Aurorans.

After Ada was banished/destroyed/whatever:

Louis Syphre II stood silently as the white portal closed, severing all links his former friend Ada had with the Auroran world, casting her adrift into somewhere, perhaps Mundus, perhaps Oblivion, perhaps the Void. His subordinates all cried out in anger "Louis! This is not like you! You never left anything to fate! You could have used the Luminous Demise to kill her!"

"I could, but I shall not. She used to be close to me, a friend. my hand will lock even if I tried to end her. This is the best I can do. I think you agree, Commander Zeill. Your daughter got off light, her execution at least was not public and not by my blade" said Louis, as he raised his free hand. The Auroran ministers and commanders all fell silent.

When most of the Aurorans had left, muttering curse words, Commander Zeill hung back. Louis asked quizzically "what is it? You still sad over the loss of your daughter? It cannot be helped, I had to follow the rules. In fact, I feel like crying after I banished her. It was all my fault. I didn't ... control her well enough."

Commander Zeill smiled and patted Louis on his arm gently, saying "chin up, Louis, I know it's as hard for you to see her go as it is for me. After all, I was your trainer all the way from when you first picked up a sword to today. I know you Louis, you are hardly the cold, calculating man you try to be. Ada was practically the little sister you never had."

"Yeah, I ... I guess you are right Commander. I ... I still can't believe she's gone, by my hand" muttered Louis, as a single tear squeezed it's way out of his eye. A rare sight. Louis had only ever cried when he was betrayed by his lover.

"Well, it's the best you've given me. It's the most you could do" said Commander Zeill, looking at the tears drip from his pupil's eyes.

A few weeks after the birth of Louis' children with Marya, with Louis' sister as the Surrogate Mother.

"Prince Louis. What are you going to name the Children? I mean, it's a few weeks already and you haven't named them. If so, we can't let them grow up in a simulacrum, like you did, since we need their names to send them into the the place where the time flows differently" said the Auroran Head Maid, a slightly flustered expression on her face, since Queen Meridia was getting her to hurry Louis to think of a name.

"I don't know. I mean, the Princess, she ... she contributed 50% of the genetic material. I don't want to name them without her permission. I can't even find her now, though" said Louis, his voice low, his tone conveying infinite melancholy.

Besides his mother, of course, all the women who had influenced his life were dissapearing one by one. It was painful to watch all of them go. Every one of them who dissapeared seemed to take part of his feelings away.

"Louis! You must decide! Don't make things difficult for me" said Meridia, as she teleported behind her son and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Mother, can ... can you just leave me in peace. I am thinking. I have considered many, but none fit my ... wait, the boy, I'll name him Levith and the girl, Lyrissa" said Louis

"Does everyone in our family have to have the letter "L" to start their name other than me? It's fine, son, I'm joking" said Meridia.

"Well, yes, i know you are joking, seeing second sis was called Andromeda. The only one of my siblings who do not have an "L" in their name. Mother, she hates it when you forget her."

Meridia gave a small laugh, saying "yes, yes, nobody ever remembers her, which is why she is the head of Spying and Intelligence. I think your children are ready for the Simulacrum."

"Yes, goodbye my children, Levith and Lyrissa. I will see you again when you are ready!" said Louis to the two babies in their cots, as light seemed to pull them into another dimension.
