A call comes across on excelion's guantlet

excellion hits the answer key on the gauntlet and speaks clearly- this is excellion mavros.

Hey son" an older voice says coming over the speaker "I got your location and thought I could perhaps talk with you for a small while. It has been years since you've been home." The voice says coming from vile.

excellion smiles.- thats fine with me father -sends him the coordinates to gallop-polis- ive come to a strange town and my armor is in dire need of repair due to a thunder dragon.

At least you are doing something with your life." He says with a small bit of contentment.

thats true dad. how are apocolytha and ragnarok doing? along with mom? he asks sounding curious-

Vile became quiet for a moment. "You haven't heard?" He said in a quiet disbelief, "Shortly after you three left to join the military, your mom passed away, peacefully in her sleep. Ragnarok..... was at the battle of New Orneighans. He was in the first wave to hit the fight and was able to defend the town's levy when we was caught in a fire bombing. He's gone." Vile began breaking down into tears. "Apocalytha came home shortly afterwards and has been helping me cope." He was quiet for a moment. In the last month, so much has changed around here. Swift has moved back to canterlot and had begun leading as head of the Royal Research Division. Pyronaga left back to his kingdom because there was no-one left to lead it and political unrest was beginning to sprout. Even though, I was married to his sister, I am not royalty myself so I was considered unfit to lead so I had to leave. Omicron has gotten old and blind in one eye. What more, he has vanished without a trace, but since he has lived a lonely life so it's not that surprising."He took a breath. "Just, glad to hear you are doing all right."

why dont you and sis come to this town there seems to be alot of work available needed here. -
he says in reassurance as hes still in shock about his mother and brothers death-

Vile sighed, "We would love to, but I am in no shape to travel. Besides, we are needed around these parts as I have become one of the members of the city council. So, for the time being, we can't leave here. Just continue doing what you are doing and make us proud."

he smiles. i will father just make sure sis stays safe.

"I-ill try, just stay safe yourself, I don't know what I would do if I lost you" he says with a tinge of sadness and worry

excellion speaks with a reassuring tone- i will father and i dont know what id do if i lost you as well.

Take care son......... see you later. Hopefully" he says

As Excelion hung up, Lighthooves ambled into the tent. After trying and falling, he looked at him. "Um... sorry for eavesdropping."

excellion shakes his head a tear falling from his eye about his mother and brothers death.- its fine. -but in his eyes lighthooves can see excellion is at a state of sorrow and anger that he wasnt there to protect his family.

He looks at him. "Sorrow about your family. I don't know what it's like to lose a mother..... mainly because I was abandon at a young age, but I know what it's like to lose a sister. It's rough. I know. Things are going to be all right though."

i lost my younger brother. my sister is helping my father. - he drops the crimson guard armor on the floor as he taps his gauntlet opening a special function as he sighs activating a different function as he puts a memorial icon for his brother-

Light hooves sighs. "My sister meant everything to me. The only pony I could trust. She taught me everything I know, took care of me, and made sure I never fell into harm. One day she headed off to work and she made a mistake. In the morning, she was happy and told me to have dinner ready, but she never came home. I found out she wasn't coming back in the newspaper headlines the next day."

excellion sighs. i see but my brother sister and i joined the royal guards on the same day my mother fell and when i took on the job of dragonslaying my brother fought in a war and died in a fire bombing. - he punches the floor- i wasnt there to help them.

Lighthooves grabs him. "You are not alone."
