"Stupid bugs, Shoo! Shoo!" Adamai growled, swatting at the insects swarming at the large white and blue dragon. Flying from tree to tree, he began to grumble to himself as he got closer to the Sadita castle. "I cant believe Yugo didn't even bother with me. 10 years, and nothing. No attempt to reach me through our bond, regardless of how broken it is, not even a letter! I know he's not dead so he had better be at least mildly excited for my arrival." The grumbling dragon hissed.

Landing in the kingdoms courtyard, Adamai stretched out his wings, enjoying the feeling of the sun on his wings after flying through the cool shade of the trees for so long. Suddenly seeing something rushing towards him, Ad spread his stance just in case. Realizing that it was two somethings, Ad opened his arms and caught the rushing forces charging him. His arms now full of laughs and fire, the white dragon released his younger brothers.

"Grougaloragran, Chibi, it's good to see you again little brothers. Look at how big you've both gotten! I haven't seen you since you were babies." He laughed.

Growling, Grougal clung harder. "And why is that?" the younger black dragon asked. Quickly letting go of Adamai and moving to his other side to hug his twin to calm him, Chibi looked up at Ad, also waiting for an answer.

"I'd like to know as well, it's not good for an old man to not know where his sons are." Alibert huffed as he walked at a much slower pace after his sons. Helping his eldest son off the ground to properly hug him, the old enutrof realized how much bigger Adamai was now.

Returning the hug, Adamai began to explain. "Sorry dad. I was so angry at Yugo that I didn't want to be reasonable, the moment I found some people that I thought I could trust, I did everything I could to put everyone else behind me. But they either had me stuck inside or traveling with a chaperone to make sure I didn't do anything wrong. I felt trapped, I couldn't go anywhere without someone looking over my shoulder that I couldn't help but feel remorse for having left everyone and the freedom I had behind. Even when I realized I wanted to come back, I was so stubborn that I had decided to wait until Yugo came to me to apologize first before I would do the same." Adamai explained as the others finally caught up to the family. With a curt nod of acknowledgement, Adamai continued his tale. "But about six years in I realized that he wasn't going to. Why would he, his plan worked and I was wrong. Then last month, one of the people I was working with warned me that I should not trust our leaders.

"What do you mean leaders? Leaders of what?" Evangeline, who had been standing beside Dally asked.

"They call themselves The Siblings, or The Brotherhood of the Forgotten. It was a group of people comprised of the children of the Gods and Goddesses of this world who were out to kill the Gods that had supposedly abandoned them. They were going to attack about 9 or 10 years ago. I don't know what changed but I saw what was becoming of them. 10 years of being stuck talking to the same people, in the same place, about the same thing, and at some point you begin to pick up on some twisted ideals being tossed around. Then, one of the leaders, the daughter of the goddess Eniripsa and a Dragon, though I don't know which dragon, told me to leave. She said she was sorry for what she sat back and let happen, that she wasn't out looking for blood, and said I should go home, or rather 'Back to the beginning dear one, to where it all began for your family to find what what else it now hides from you. What he had taken away from you so many years ago.' awfully cryptic, I'm not quite sure what she was talking about, but I knew that I couldn't stay any longer, so I took off as soon as I could." Adamai told the group of people.

Taking a good look around at the old Brotherhood of the Tofu, Adamai could see that Evangiline and Dally had made quite the family for themselves with their three children, a reality that he bitterly understands wouldn't be if Yugo had listened to him. Rule had a woman that Adamai recognises from his time with the Siblings, Arpagone he believes her name was, standing next to him with Junior laying at his feet. Amailia seems to be well, and Alibert, Chibi, and Grougal were all healthy and moving about. But he saw no sign of his younger twin. Speaking up again, he says "Maybe she meant I should finally make up with Yugo, but it seems he still doesn't want to be bothered with me if he couldn't even make it out here to great me." Adamai growls with a sad look on his face.

"What do you mean he doesn't want to be bothered with you, we thought he was with you this whole time? Or that you at least would know where he is." Evangiline asked, confused.

Taking his turn to look confused, Adamai took a step forward. "With me? Why on earth would he be with me? I havet seen him since our fight in the forest. Our bond broke a bit so I was never able to feel his wakfu as clearly as before, but I know that if he was that close, I would have sensed him." The dragon explained.

Lifting her head a bit more, Amalia closed the gap a bit more towards Adamai. "We haven't seen or heard from Yugo since you left. After the battle with Ogrest, Yugo and Percidal returned Ogrest to his Father Otomi. Later that night, while the rest of my kingdom was celebrating and repairing, Yugo snuck away. Took advantage of the aftermath and lack of attention to steal all the dragon dofus and the eliacube before he disappeared. We had all assumed that he had ran off to join you because he hasn't shown his face around here in about ten good years." The princess says hotly, a slight look of disdain adorning her features.

"Excuse my bluntness princess, but you make it sound as if Yugo is nothing more than an irritating thief. I understand that you may be frustrated, but that gives you no right to criminalize him like that." Evangeline provides, stepping in front of her own children a bit.

"Of course, that so called 'little king' was a guest in my kingdom, my castle. I would never think to look down on the one who broke into the deepest levels of the castle to steal the cube and dofus like that traitor Qilby, and then disappear without even trying to use his 'eliatrope powers' to help clear some of the mess that was caused. No, I would never." Amalia says clearly, her nose in the air.

"Maybe you should go back inside princess. If your going to do nothing but talk down on my son after all he has done for you and your kingdom for nothing more than taking back what belonged to him and his people and leaving to find his brother without asking for your permission. I am upset that neither of my oldest sons thought to write to their old man, didn't even stop to say goodbye, but I don't fault them in their decisions. They're children, as their father, I will always be on their side and support them, as their friends, I should hope you do the same." Alibert stated firmly to the princess

Moving closer to mayor and inn keeper, Amalia stood before him as Alibert moved Chibi and Grougal to have them stand behind Adamai. "They were what, 19 at the time? Hardly children if you ask me."

"You already know that they age much slower than the other races." Alibert retaliated.

"Sure, whatever. I'm just stating facts, you know. Anyway, I kept my promise and allerted you all the moment my guards caught sight of one of them. And now I have other, more important tasks to handle." Amalia grumbled with her head held high as she turned to walk back into the castle, everyone's eyes trailing after her.

After a moment or two of silence Adamai knelt before his two younger siblings and said, in an even tone so that the rest of the group could hear. "You know little brothers, Yugo used to have a crush on her. But he was so afraid of telling her because she was growing up without him. I never approved of her or her attitude, but I did my best to support Yugo. Really glad it didn't pan out. Now, about Yugo disappearing? Did he leave any clues behind, anything that we could use to follow his trail? It's been years, so nothing will be fresh or easy to track, but if we had a starting point, I may be able to get him." Adamai said.

Thinking back, the rest of the group tried to remember if Yugo had told them anything before he left, which ended with everyone shaking their heads.

"All I know is that as soon as Yugo was cleared by the eniripsa for his injuries, he went pretty quiet. He seemed so small and then he just disappeared. I didn't say anything to him because I thought he just needed a bit of space and time, I should have talked to him." Evangiline said bitterly. "I suppose the room he use to have here is as close to a starting point as we'll get."

"It'll have to do! Lets go." Adamai said, standing tall once again, regardless of his little eliatrope brother hanging off his arm when he refused to let go after Adamai stood. Adjusting Chibi so that he was sitting on his shoulder, the group headed back inside the castle, and headed straight to yugos old room.
