The Rules of the Family
-----
Some minutes ago, just when Valen sent his four Gods to fight against the invaders which he deemed too weak to bother with, he suddenly was contacted by someone he knew very well through one of his Artifacts.
The spherical crystal ball resonated with a bright light, as he couldn't help but touch it and infuse some Mana so the artifact could show him who was calling, but due to the intensity of the call, he could already tell who it was.
FLASH!
A magical hologram emerged before his sight, as Valen saw the figure of a man, slightly older looking than him, with short whit hair and red eyes, wearing black clothes similar to his as well. He seemed like an older version of him.
"Older brother Jacob, what a surprise…" Said Valen, pretending to be calm and acting cool with his older brother, who looked down on him from within the hologram.
