51 Chapter 40

[A/N:Is anyone reading this?.]

Hadrian was a brother figure to William and Marcus.He was now watching the two brothers spar with each other. Blade-to-blade, they were identical. After thousands of hours in sword fighting, they knew each other better than brothers, they were complementary halves of a single warrior. In every exchange,both showed their power and skill.

Marcus was the calm one,who was calculating eqch strike and mgave ground. It was his way.

While William style was the aggressive, each strike was quick and instead of technique it was based on strength and speed

The exchanges flashed. Leaps were sideslipped or met with flying kicks; ankle sweeps skipped over and punches parried.

While Hadrian clapped seeing the two brother sparing come to end and said"Bravo, I must say you both have grown leaps and bounds in your training."

William and Marcus puffed up their chest with pride,they knew Hadrian was not one fo give false compliments.

Marcus was curious questioned"Did father ask you to come?"

Hadrian nodded and answered"Yeah,I have something to discuss with him."

Marcus and William nodded,while Hadrian noticed somone watching them from a distance.

Which was the third son of Alexander, his name was Istvan and he was not born immortal,but had the pure corvinus strain in his DNA.They gave the son on adulthood a chance to be immortal,but the third son felt immortality was not for him and distanced himself from the family.Their mother Helena couldn't do anything to change that and both parents have to watch as their youngest child grow old and die.

Alexander was worried about his third son,both of them were not close especially after the fact Istvan did not have the same abilities as his brother's.While Alexander and his wife Helena tried to include his son in everything, the boy just grew bitter and even when they told him, how he could become a immortal he stayed the same.

Hadrian spoke up"Istav probably having insecurities regarding the fact didn't inherit the powers from you like his brothers did."

Alexander took a gulp of his whiskey and replied"It didn't change the fact he was my son."

Hadrian nodded understanding Alexander's emotions, while Alexander added"Now he wants to move away and I don't think Helena will take it well."

Hadrian knew Helena wouldn't and just like they thought when she found out about Istvan moving away, it broke her and no matter how much she pleaded Istavan didn't look back and Helena was completely devastated.

But this was't all as time passed another disaster would strike the family in the form of a gene mutation.As the two brothers Marcus and William'a lives change forever.
