       Keir: Jesus! Bloody hell! A seiji is in control of YOUR body!
       Jumping jehosaphat.. no wonder home is going to hell and taking
       the Living Realm with it. Keir says in complete surprise with a
       fair amount of anger. He walks closer to Anna and Keirran. Keir:
       Anna, can you be an angel and get me a double Jameson on the
       rocks? I'm going to need for this one.
       Anna smiles a bit to Keir. Anna: Sure thing, Keir. She then runs
       off to the ballroom where the liquor bar is.
       Keir: As for you, Keirran. If I can stand in a room for 12 hours
       helping your mother deliver you, then I can handle your long
       story, lad. Keir says as he returns his attention to Keirran.
       Keir: Please enlighten me about how this seiji managed to get
       your body.

       Kierran: Well then... I should start by asking. How much do you
       know about Drakath's rebellion? He asks Keir. Depending on his
       answer, it would determine where Kierran would have start his
       explanations. Depending on when Keir cut himself off from death
       wraith society, he might know that Drakath was leader of the top
       dark souls hunter team in the death wraith society in the same
       way Kierran was considered one of the best lost soul hunters of
       the death wraith society. Drakath and Kierran had competed many
       times in combat competitions, with their teams often friendly
       competing with each other before Drakath rebelled. However, that
       went out the window after Drakath and his team rebelled after
       the death of Kierran's adopted father, Revon Black. After
       Revon's death, Drakath took a violent rebellion in order to try
       and force the death wraiths to allow emotions as Revon's
       peaceful approach hadn't worked (and not till later found out
       that his death was planned by one of the death wraith council
       members). Although it turned out Drakath's ultimate goal was
       taking over the death wraith order himself and changing the
       rules from what he felt was a self destructive path. All of this
       would be before Anna was exiled, and that didn't cover Drakath
       and some of his team's escape from containment which happened
       after Anna was exiled. While Kitsune managed to make it to the
       living world and hide from the death wraiths, Drakath was found
       by Kierran and his team (or what was left of his team after Anna
       had been exiled and Tarich had left the death wraith order to
       live in the living world) and taken down after a long war
       lasting years against Drakath's followers.

       Keir: I know of Drakath's Rebellion and even trained some of his
       people in death wraith medicine and field medics. Many
       self-exiles on Earth have helped him at one point, but he tried
       to keep most of us and our living realm families out of the
       rebellion involvement. Lost track after dark spirit and shadow
       demon attacks on the Living Realm became steadily more frequent.
       Obviously I found out about Anna's condition and been trying to
       solve it since. He pauses a moment as he thinks about Revon and
       a look of loss crosses his face. Keir: And your adopted father
       was a good man who I wished had taken my advice. Now how about
       catching me up from around Anna's exile. He says with a sigh and
       returns to a more neutral look.
       Anna reaches the bar and makes Keir's drink.

       Kierran: Alright then... He leans against the wall as he thinks
       on where to start. Well... After Anna was exiled, not too long
       after, the incident seemed to serve as a means for Drakath and
       his team to escape containment awaiting their exile to the
       Twilight Realm. Drakath and many of his team members escaped. My
       team pursued. It took me years, but I managed to finally hunt
       down Drakath and kill him. He wasn't alone though. Something the
       Council never told people was that Drakath had the support of
       the Seiji on his side when he rebelled. I only know because I
       fought them. But the Council never told people just how angry
       the Seiji got at us. He looks to Keir. I'm sure you remember...
       What happened when the first Seiji died. How no one knew what to
       do with their "souls." There was no place in the Hall of Souls
       at the time, and they couldn't go to heaven. They couldn't be
       sent back to hell, and they were human enough that they could
       escape purgatory. So when the death wraith did the "logical"
       thing and threw the Seiji soul into the void, it really pissed
       off the Seiji who felt we screwed over one of them and felt we
       were going to do the same to them when they die. He sighs.
       Apparently, Drakath convinced them that the reason it happened
       was the lack of emotions and cold logic the death wraith had. So
       the Seiji sided with Drakath, and Drakath went from just trying
       to change the death wraiths, to trying to take over both the
       Council AND the living world. After years of struggle, my team,
       or what was left of it after Anna and Tarich both went into
       exile, beat Drakath and killed him. Kitsune Resei, his second in
       command, got away, but Drakath himself was finally taken out. He
       then points to his body. However, one particular Seiji named
       Aeron Kazara came up with a plan to take over the Death Wraiths,
       and used a body switch Seiji spell on me. We don't know enough
       about Seiji to know their full abilities, so he was able to pull
       one over. And thanks to special Seiji wards and magic, he made
       his "soul" feel just like mine so no one would know that he
       wasn't me. He left me for dead. Thankfully I was saved by his
       brother, Alathen Kazara, who has been training me to take on
       Aeron Kazara. From what I understand, Aeron has built a new
       team, and according to Alathen, is seeking to evolve the death
       wraiths. Apparently, the last council was hunted down and killed
       by dark spirits who infiltrated our home land. We don't know
       how, but I assume it was Aeron Kazara who let the death wraiths
       into our home land. After the deaths of the council, everyone
       was too scared to step up because anyone who did would soon die
       of "mysterious" circumstances. Eventually "Kierran" was forced
       to take command by the other death wraiths once they got
       desperate and called for him to take command because he was the
       only person who could take on dark spirits. Apparently, as me,
       Aeron kazara built his own team, the Black Moon group, based on
       the demon lord Balor Beimnech's own group, in order to manage
       the path to the living world. Ever since the death of the
       council, and the dark spirit storms that started plaguing our
       home after that, Aeron has pretty much run the place uncontested
       because he's slowly building the death wraiths back up.
       Supposedly, he has an art that can allow a death wraith to, one
       time, absorb essence from another being and gain power from
       another being. He used it when he fought Balor Beimnech or
       something, and got his demonic power, including his demonic eye.
       Aeron has been trying to build up the death wraiths, though what
       he's planning to do with the death wraiths, we don't know. We
       only know that supposedly, he's been rebuilding the place after
       the storms of dark spirits started, and his team basically is
       trying to protect the death wraith home. However, considering
       the death toll has been catastrophic, there isn't enough people
       to protect the path to the living world. Especially with the
       fact that Drakath's team no longer operates there, because he
       killed about 90% of dark spirits that came into our territory
       when his team was operating.

       Keir: Jesus... He sighs as he listens to Keirran. Now he wishes
       he had taken a more active role in fighting the Council than he
       had done. Unfortunately, this also means that he and other
       self-exiles from the days of the 3rd Death Wraith Council
       (council prior to Keirran's, Drakath's, and Anna's births) were
       absolutely correct in their predictions of what would happen.
       The weakening of death wraith abilities necessary for fighting
       dark spirits and the declaration of all royal and high noble
       death wraiths as enemies of the race was all Keir and others
       needed then to predict the events of today. Keir: With the
       exception of unforeseeable aspects, what you just told me is
       something that I and other self-exiles had predicted and warned
       about before the Hoshu-teki cult took over the Council
       completely. Once the royal bloodlines of Toranoraos became
       declared enemies of the death wraith race and hunted down by the
       Hoshu-teki controlled Council, the signs of critical decay of
       our people and the protection of the living realm became clear.
       Another self-exile often exclaimed and accused the Hoshu-teki
       cult of making dark deals with Xeles and the dark spirits back
       before I exiled myself. I use to think that was a far stretch
       back in my younger days as what Death Wraith would be that power
       hungry and desperate to gain their desire. Now I have to wonder
       if that death wraith was right as killing off and reaping the
       souls of those who are no longer of use isn't below those types
       of entities. He says as he thinks about what Keirran has told
       him about what has happened since he lost touch. Keir: Still I
       am surprised that you actually lived long enough to see the fall
       of the Council and have your body stolen by this fool Aeron.
       That's where Revon gains more of my respect for pulling off
       considering your royal bloodline.
       Anna puts the bottle back after finishing pouring Keir's drink
       and begins heading back to Keirran and Keir.

       Kierran sighs. Kierran: I only wish I'd seen the signs sooner...
       I should have picked up on it when they had my father kille- He
       stops as something Keir said just clicked in his mind. Wait,
       what? Did you say "royal bloodline"? My father wasn't a royal
       bloodline. He says, completely confused thinking that Keir was
       talking about the Black family, and talking about Revon.

       It doesn't take more than Keirran's comment to tell Keir that
       Revon never told Keirran the truth. Keir: Revon never told you
       the truth of your birth. Oh this might be a longer talk.
       Anna interrupts just briefly to hand Keir his drink. Anna: Here
       you go, Keir.
       Keir: Thank you. He then takes a sip and looks to Keirran.
       Keir: Keirran, Revon and his wife weren't your birth parents.
       Revon was your uncle who adopted you when you were but a month
       old. His sister, Maiti, is your mother and widow of the last
       leader and crowned king of the Rajnish family. You're
       technically a prince. Revon must have hid that knowledge in
       order to protect you from the Council.

       Kierran: That makes no sense... I was just a child, abandoned at
       birth. Revon Black found me adopted me. That was it. That was
       all anyone knew about my birth family No one was ever able to
       track down my birth family. Not for lack of trying. Revon Black
       tried to find my birth parents for years. And I know he did try
       because I remember that. Are you sure you're not confusing me
       with someone else? He says, not wanting to believe the news that
       someone just randomly come along and casually mention him being
       part of another family. Considering what Kierran said, it was
       full possible that even Revon Black didn't know the truth of
       Kierran's heritage since Revon Black had just found him as a
       child and took him in.

       Keir: Diabhal go hifreann é. Keir curses in Irish after
       listening to Keirran. Keirran's own response speaks volumes of
       how much was actually withheld from Keirran, but Keir couldn't
       blame Revon and the Black family. If the Council had learned of
       Keirran's true heritage, then it could have been Keirran's death
       long before now. Keirran sighs as he pulls out a smartphone,
       turns it on, and unlocks it. Keir: I am absolutely not mistaken.
       A death wraith doctor with as much experience as I have doesn't
       forget a soul of such importance.. especially one they
       delivered. He opens the text message app, opens a text message
       chat with Callahan's name on it, and begins to type a text
       message. Keir: The only way I can truly prove it is to get your
       brother, Callahan, to grab a special item that identifies the
       Rajnish family considering that getting your birth records will
       take to long. I told your mother that it was a bad idea to
       separate you from herself at such a young age. I warned that
       this would happen because of the threat the Council posed, but
       she insisted that you be raised by family and in this universe.
       Keir's voice turns to one of being more annoyed that no one took
       his advice on how to hide from assassins and evil councilmembers
       as he hits send. Keir: Said it's your destiny to help restore
       the Death Wraith society to the way it was before the Council.
       Now I have an adult royal death wraith trapped in a seiji body
       when he probably could've prevented it from happening with
       proper training and having to prove his heritage. Keir sighs a
       bit and recomposes himself. Keir: Sorry that I am ranting, lad.
       I am just not one for hiding the truth in my over 200,000 years
       of life and never will be. Keir's age should ring impossible
       without some kind of technology, magic, or other supernatural
       enhancements that extended Keir's natural death wraith lifespan.
       Anna listens to Keirran and Keir and is in disbelief herself.
       She had learned that royals and high nobles had been declared
       treasonous and rumored to have been hunted to extinction by the
       Council after the last known royal confronted the Council and
       was slain in the council chamber.. a couple of months before
       Keirran was "found" by Revon Black. She then gets a very shocked
       look when Keir mentions his age as she never knew that he was
       that old though she does know that he uses modified ancient
       Atlantean stone master mystic technology.

       Kierran: This is just very hard to take in... This is like one
       of those stories where someone grows up a nobody and then
       suddenly finds out they're from some important family. I never
       thought I'd be the main character in a story like that. And now
       I understand why they react the way they do... He says with a
       shrug. He then sighs at the comment about his destiny being to
       restore death wraith society. I have no intention of going back
       to the death wraiths after we solve this Aeron Kazara incident.
       This "destiny" about rebuilding the death wraiths... I want no
       part in it. I should have left the death wraiths years ago. I
       lost everything working for them, and somehow thought I was
       making a difference. But I'm done with all of that. All I want
       now is to live my life here. He then looks down, regret in his
       eyes. If I'd have known what all would happen... I'd have left
       when they exiled Anna. I should have followed Tarich's lead when
       he left. Sometimes I think I should have let Drakath wipe them
       all out... He understood my father's message better than any of
       us did, even if his rebellion got out of hand.
