"Wow" Simon mumbled when Kira had finished.
"You and Rythian have been through a lot" Lewis continued.
"Yeah, but at least now you know the whole story" Kira muttered.
"Your hair used to be blond?" Hannah asked.
Kira nodded.
"It used to be long, but I had to cut it short because otherwise it was dangerous. You know, because I was the queen"
"Maybe we could help you get it back to the way it was before" Hannah suggested.
"How?"
"Healing potions?" Duncan said.
"How would that work?" Hannah asked.
"You...don't know?" He frowned.
Hannah shook her head.
"Technically, you cut off a piece of yourself, so healing potions would heal it back to the way it was before" Duncan explained.
"So...we could heal it back to its normal length and colour?" Kira asked.
"Maybe not colour...but we can always dye it"
Kira smiled faintly.
"Maybe later, but now we need to find that MFSU"
"Oh...about that..." Duncan mumbled.
He turned to the machine placed down behind him.
"It needs more power. It won't charge in time for Ridge to come back"
"Could we all power it?" Hannah asked.
"Like, connect it to all the power stations on the server?"
Duncan thought about this.
"Hey yeah...that could work" he finally said.
"Is there anything else we need to do or say before we move on?" Kira asked. Everyone was quiet.
"Good" she mumbled, then turned to look at Duncan.
"Because I have something to sort out"
She stood up, an walked over to Duncan.
"What are you?"
"Not this again" Lewis mumbled.
"You are obviously not human" Kira continued, her one visible eye narrowing.
"What does it matter that he's not human? I'm not, I'm a dwarf" Simon yelled.
"That's different" Kira muttered back, her eye not wavering from Duncan.
"You are human like. Duncan is something completely different"
"Do you have any proof?" Sjin asked.
Kira remained silent for a few seconds.
"When we were at The End, I was secretly watching him. At the orphanage, you disappeared for a few minutes, and I saw an Enderborn go around the corner to look for you. You came back, she did not"
Duncan frowned.
"It was a big place, she probably went to another room or something"
"When we went to the city, they smelt Zoey out because she was a human, but you blended right in. You didn't have a human scent on you"
Duncan smirked.
"I do a lot of science, my human scent died long ago"
"The torture rooms" Kira pushed on.
"You didn't even flinch when we saw Lemon in her state. Even Rythian looked away"
Duncan thought for an answer, making Kira more suspicious.
"I...I've seen a lot of horror movies. I've seen a lot of blood and gory stuff, I guess it didn't get to me"
Hannah frowned. She knew Duncan had seen his share of horror movies, but he wasn't one for gory stuff.
"Ok..." Kira grinned, which made Duncan a little nervous.
"The tower. The one we teleported out of. I teleported you, but at the last second, I let go, which means you would have either one; not been teleported or two; been ripped through time and space, yet here you are, perfectly fine. Why is that Duncan? If that is your real name?"
Everyone expected Duncan to instantly deny it, coming up with some obvious reason that he was human.
But he didn't. He just smiled, which made Kira stand back a little.
He started to sarcastically clap, the smile still wide on his lips.
"Good job. I thought it would take you longer, I'm very surprised"
Kira stared, a little shocked he had said this so easily, but curiosity soon brought her back to earth.
"Who are you?" She almost whispered.
Duncan laughed.
"I am a lot of people. Duncan Jones was one of them. Lanar, the 'great, powerful Enderborn' was another"
"You're..." Kira stammered.
"You're Lanar?"
Duncan's smile turned into a grin.
"You didn't even see that one coming did you? I faked having a 'mighty and powerful vision' so you lazy Enderborn's would get off your ass and get your hands a little bloody"
Kira stared.
"You lied to the Enderborn's. You made them believe that they could defeat super mutated clones"
"And they still can" Duncan insisted.
"When I told them they can, then they could. But as soon as you found out I wasn't one of them, then they can't do it"
Kira thought about this. It made sense. But if Duncan was Lanar, then...
"Why didn't you come back? Why didn't you save them?" Kira asked, her eyes narrowing again.
"Because, like Duncan Jones, Lanar never existed" Duncan smirked while rocking on his heels.
"Lanar and Duncan were just cover ups, for who I really am. If I had just stayed in my true form, then you all wouldn't either, run screaming, or attempted to kill me. Attempts at each would have failed"
Hannah grabbed Lewis' hand and whimpered softly. It wasn't everyday you found out that your friend wasn't actually human and was a different creature involved in a war in a different dimension.
"I, my dear Enderborn, am Lalna" Duncan smiled.
"Ok...what are you?" Kira specified.
"Would you like me to tell you? Or just morph and show you?"
"Morph" Kira said instantly.
"Prove that whatever you are, you can use alchemy"
Duncan shrugged.
"If you insist" he sighed.
And then started to grow.
A black skin wrapped around him, and spread apart into a scale like pattern.
His bones started to crack, moving around as his body reshaped itself.
His nails grew, and became sharp. His eyes turned white, and four white lines appeared around them (refer to cover of book)
His mouth grew, but remained a wide smile, his teeth splitting into little sharp daggers.
A tail spread out, little purple thorns covering the top half.
Then a huge crack was heard and eight giant sticks grew out of his back, aligning themselves with the weird scale pattern.
When he had finished morphing, Duncan, or what was Duncan, stood over five or six metres tall.
And he was still grinning.
He bent down, so his face was right in front of Kira's.
"Hello Enderborn" he said, the smile in his voice.
Kira stared, at him, not breathing, not moving. Then she screamed and ran. The strange creature that had once been Duncan laughed at her fleeing the room, leaving the other five members there.
"Duncan?" Simon breathed.
"Didn't you here me tell her?"
'Duncan' said. His voice was odd. Like twenty people, all male, female, young, old, some with accents, speaking at once.
"I'm not Duncan. I never was. Duncan never existed"
"Then who are you?" Hannah exploded, tears running down her cheeks.
"I'm Lalna. I'm an Endarian"

Woah plot twist bet you didn't see that coming.
Anyway, I've had serious writers block for a while and I'm putting this book on hold. Not for long, just until I write another few chapters. Don't worry, there's still plenty of chapters until the book finishes and I'm still deciding on how it will finish >:3
Anyways, I'm quite busy so it'll be sometime after Christmas. January ish. I have violin and piano tests, Christmas and birthday shopping, prize giving practise, concert practise, and I'm building a computer. So you can see why I don't have time to write.
Anyways, sorry for the short on hold, but I'll be back next year! (Or maybe late this year, who knows?!?!?!)
Bai bai
