Chapter 20 - Abraham Stanford And Lara Smith

After the ultimate battle between James and the Corpse. King Vladimir discussed the history of his family to the whole crew.

"I am honored to introduce to you my older brother James Stanford also known as Ian Whitlock. He deserved to be the King of Gaia and now, I am going to formally announce that King James is our new king starting this day." Vladimir announced the new King.

"Not to disrespect your offer brother but i'm better off as an ordinary warrior willing to help protect Earth and Gaia so I will bring back the throne to its rightful owner King Vladimir Stanford. it is my first and final order." Ian replied.

Everyone laughed and praised Ian.

"That's the noblest order I've heard from a King." JackSpark said.

"If King Ian is the King of Gaia, then would you give your throne to Samantha your Highness?" SpecLady addressed Queen Archandia.

"Well if she would like to put her life in danger, that would be fine with me." Queen Archandia responded.

Everyone laughed again. After the laughter, King Vladimir became serious and changed the topic of their discussion.

"We are very happy today to finally found the Sun attuned wizard and I guess it's time for me to render the truth behind our family." King Vladimir shared their family's history.

"Abraham Stanford, our beloved father, is a simple man just like Ian. He only wanted to have a simple life with ordinary lifestyle. He is blessed because he was considered to be the only Sun attuned wizard living on Chrono. He met our mother when they are still studying magic together, my mother was a moon attuned, they have different personalities but they did end up together. The real name of Death is Zacharias Grey. He was bullied in their school and became best of friends with my father. Zach envied my father because all the great things happened to him and he got our mother Lara. That's the reason why he committed himself to the darkness. Father and mother had their first son James, my brother, but he died after mother gave birth to him. Abraham decided to hide the truth regarding James and passed his sun abilities to him. By the time James was born, Zach offered himself to the darkness and made a curse which made a contract with the supreme being of darkness, Thalos. Thalos commanded Zach to offer his identity to him and his wish will be granted. He wished for the death of the first-born son of Abraham and Lara. That's why the curse was casted by Thalos to James combining the moon and blood magic which symbolizes death. Zach is long dead since Thalos used his body and called him Death.

Abraham decided to build an alliance called the Stan Guardians including my mother but now that Valkyrie and DragonKnight overheard the conversation of the Corpse, mother is the one who is the traitor among the Stan Guardians and infiltrated them to help Death easily get what he desired and that is to become the King of Chrono. He defeated father. Mother gave birth to me before their fight. Father became a nomad after he lost to Death and had many sons and daughters. When Death cleared Chrono by killing the people who are against him that includes our brothers and sisters that hold the Stanford last name, I'm the only survivor because mother protected me from him, father decided to sacrifice his life to seal him. He has no contract to the supreme being of the Blood magic that's why he can't use the Blood Contract Magic. He got the soul stone that mother created and he built the time-stopper machine. He successfully execute the sealing process but the effect is the separation on Chrono. That's why up until now, we are hunting Death. Mother on the other hand was imprisoned to one of her soul stone as a result of the sealing process and the separation of Chrono and we will find out her secret after she will be released. I would like to order all guardians, that include you Archadians to search for our mother's soul stone before Death and the Corpse regain their strength. I know he will gather more allies to invade us again. We don't know what dimension or planet he is lurking but we should be fully aware of his invasion in the future. I will train my brother and you need to train hard too guardians." King Vladimir told the whole story.

"That's clear enough brother. We will prepare for Death." Ian assured his brother.

"For now, let's enjoy our victory together. Ian, can I invite you back to Earth for awhile. You get to spend time with Samantha anyway so you're going back and forth." Queen Archandia requested Ian.

"Of course your Highness, Earth is Samantha's home and I need to protect her." Ian replied.

The room is filled with Oooohhs all of a sudden.
