On a S-rank mission, said Captain Orion.

Towards the morning sunrise, everybody in the city of Eldrado gathered in the graveyard to mourn Arthur and his wife, Marcella.

Eldrado is the capital city of the Tarkir Empire.

Everybody gathered, including Captain Orion, his wife, the council members of Eldrado, and all the captains in the whole of the Tarkir Empire, because Arthur and Marcella were both senior Captains who belonged to the Tarkir Arm forces, with over 1000 S-rank missions.

The council announced that they were both assassinated with their newborn baby while they were sleeping.

While everybody was mourning the couple, Cassius was watching them from a very far distance on top of a mountain closer to the graveyard where they were mourning.

Let's join them said Queen Aurora, who was standing beside Cassius.

No am not interested he said, those hypocrites who call themselves the council

Annihilated my whole family 20 years ago

And now they have killed the only person I cared about, he said I will avenge my sister. But now is not the time he said calmly.

Suddenly, Captain Malcolm noticed Cassius' presence, then turned to face Cassius. Captain Malcolm was an old man in his early 60s with hair and beard, dressed in the Tarkir Arm forces Uniform. Using his Avatar's stronghold, Falkor, who is one of the Twelve dragons of Samphram, he was able to connect Cassius and Queen Aurora from that distance by bringing them into his Avatar's stronghold.

Old man Cassius said Queen Aurora remained calm, she was just looking at Captain Malcolm. Long time no see, said Captain Malcolm. he continued, " I see you came here to mourn your sister.

I know about Thane, he said. Hearing this, Cassius remained calm with his cold attitude, so he knew about the boy. Cassius said within himself, Captain Malcolm, continue. Don't worry, no one will find out about him, he said.

I knew you would find one way or the other

Cassius said in his cold expression,

You made a good decision taking him to Orion, Captain Malcolm said, I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect your sister he said

Cassius replied I don't need your apology,

All I will tell you is this hold this in mind if

Anything happens to Thane I will turn

Tarkir Upside Down.

Let's go he said to Queen Aurora leaving Captain Malcolm's Avatar stronghold.

Then the stronghold disappeared, Chief Commander, Chief Commander said. Captain Orion, Captain Malcolm, still facing the direction, felt a warm hand on his shoulder. Yes, he said What is it, Chief Commander? You have been looking in that direction for a while now. What is the problem? Captain Orion asked.

Nothing replied Captain Malcolm; Captain Malcolm is the Chief Commander of Tarkir Arm forces and one of the most powerful people in Tarkir.

What do you mean you didn't kill the child;

Asked King Sorbet, King Sorbet is the king of the Tarkir Empire. A fat-looking man with yellow hair and a round face. He's not just the king of Tarkir, But His Avatar is Asgorath, one of the Twelve dragons of Samphram.

Leaving one member of the Verde family Alive is A treat to the world. He said, kicking the Assassin, making him bleed through the Head.

I was About to kill the Baby before Captain Cassius showed up.

Dam that Cassius, his always in my way

He should have been killed alongside his

When the Verde family was 20 years ago.

Suddenly the Assassin remembers when he and his elder brother Lucas were

Assigned to lead the annihilation of the Verde family

20 years ago with his brother's Avatar Ancalagon and his own Avatar Bahamot

No one could stand a chance against them

Because they were both Dragon users.

They were the perfect match to lead the Verde family annihilation.

The assassin whose Name is Leon, was seeing his memory flash before his eyes

Remembering how they both annihilated

The Verde family. The scene continued with Cassius grabbing the hands of Marcella, running towards the bushes outside the castle walls. Then suddenly Lucas appeared before them, about to strike them with a sword; Cassius couldn't act because he was still very young with no strength, he was around age 5, while his sister was around age 3.

Lucas thought about their Age, having a second thought, suddenly he noticed Captain Malcolm flying with his Avatar towards them, to rescue Cassius and Marcella.

Big brother, Big brother said, Marcella, who was crying and running towards Cassius. Then Cassius hugged her, saying Don't worry, I'm here, no one can hurt you.
