Brothers' Fate

*shakes this like a bag of treats* Come and get this, Scott and Xornoth angst enjoyers!!

This chapter takes place between A Force Apart's bonus chapter and chapter 6, enjoy!

Geminitay followed the human-like Zebrak to his ship to end the ongoing war of the Galaxy. Scott was silent after they left the medical room to the ship. Probably worried about confronting Xornoth.

“Are you nervous?” Gem broke the silence and spoke her thoughts.

“Yes,” Scott replied almost flatly. “Confronting a Sith is fine for any Jedi, but one who’s your own blood? It hurts.”

“And you know it might end in death?” Gem pressed.

Scott stopped in front of the ship door, attempting to hold back tears. Attachments are forbidden in the Jedi order, but that's hardly an excuse for killing your brother.

“Maybe it doesn't have to result in that.” Gem continued.

Scott turned with a pained expression on his face with a small hint of confusion. “How is that so?”

“Could you not convince him to stop? Remind him of the bond you had with him when you were young?”

Scotts countenance sunk more. Gem and him both knew their relationship was tentative in their youth. As if that thought was carried to Scott, he replied: “Xornoth is never the type to listen to what I have to say. Me attempting to remind him of that could just make it worse for both me and him.”

“Or heal your relationship,” Gem encouraged. “ Take Mythical Sausage for example.”

“Your padawan?” Scott raised an eyebrow.

“Yes,” Gem replied, ignoring the pain of hearing that title and what he said previously. “If it's possible to draw out the Dark Side of the Force within someone, separate that Dark Side, why can’t you draw back the Light Side of the Force in someone?”

Scott looked in her eyes, his deep blue-green slightly sparkling like the stars canvasing the night sky. A small look of hope appeared and swiftly vanished. “It's too risky, and who’s to say he will even have any Light Side left in him.”

Gem mirrored the same hopefulness. “At least do what you can. You can’t do things half-hearted, you have to do it all the way.”

Scott looked back to the ship, thinking of the upcoming events. “I’ll do what I can, but I’m still doubtful.”

“Let the Force do what it wills, it may will Xornoth to be given a second chance.”

“Maybe,” Scott seemed to brush off the comment, but Gem knew him well enough to see he was considering it.

***

Scott marched across the battlefield past the stormtroopers who were aiming and shooting at his allies. The blasts flew past his ears multiple times but none deterred him from his target: Xornoth. Gem was going to get Joey out of the way while he got to his brother. Joey would be the hardest to get away from him since he felt so attached to Xornoth, but when you need to talk some sense into your sibling, nothing will get in your way.

Scott could see Xornoth standing on a rock ledge staring right at him, the black and magenta Zebrak igniting his red lightsaber. He leapt down from his perch and landed ten feet in front of Scott.

“So, the perfect person has come.” Xornoth taunted, stepping closer.

Scott bit back the temptation to retort harshly, “You and I both know that’s not true.” Not the best way to start.

“Despite it being false, you constantly press on with this belief.” Xornoth’s words were filled with hate and a small amount of hurt that almost didn't fit the body the voice came from. But Scott knew why he was hurt.

“You don't have to do this, brother. We can talk about this!” Scott attempted to sound bold and compassionate, but that didn't come across to him.

“You chose your fate, I chose mine! Who’s to say this is not what the Force willed!”

With that last sentence, Xornoth swung his lightsaber around for a blow, but Scott ignited his and blocked it. Their fight commenced further, to the point where they both, unknowingly to Scott, manoeuvred onto the previous rock ledge. Scott was backed to the lip of the rock where it dropped into a ravine he could not see the bottom of. He regained his footing and held his saber in front of him toward Xornoth. Xornoth knew of this ravine. It is a trap.

Xornoth saw his plan working and stepped closer, unfazed by the teal lightsaber poised in his direction. He let out a sinister laugh and opened his hand forward, lifting Scott up and slowly pushing him over the edge of the cliff above the ravine. Scott felt a gripping pain around his neck growing tighter. He instinctively grasped his neck for the source even though he knew that would do nothing. He hung there, struggling for breath and footing while Xornoth stood with a devilish grin painting his face.

“Even the strongest Jedi can fall,” he spitefully said, holding strong eye contact with Scott, his once purple eyes now burning amber with hate. “Now for you to be shown as an example.”

Scott felt the grip on his throat loosen and had a gut feeling this will end with his body crumpled on the ravine floor below. In one last attempt to save both his life and Xornoth’s, he coughed as he spoke.

“D-do you, remember-meditating in-in the fields?”

Xornoth stopped Scott’s descent and was taken back by the question, but refused to show any response. Scott continued.

“You said you saw a t-tree, not just a tree, b-but a tree with a different branch grafted into the other branches. I-I saw it too,” Scott exhaled sharply due to suffocation, but Xornoth continued the thought. “The tree had purple bark, while the grafted branch was a deep teal.”

Scott relaxed his tense body, thankful that memory wasn’t lost. “I understand the vision now, the tree-was you, is you. The grafted branch is me. Though the branch is not the tree, it is grafted into the tree. It is still part of the tree.”

“And you let that choose your destiny! You forgot the tree became black while the branch turned white! We both followed the vision how it showed, you stayed with the Light, I followed the Darkness. I’d say this is how the Force orchestrated this!”

Scott’s voice became soft. “That was what you saw after the dreams. I continued to see the tree turn black, but I also saw the tree turn back to purple after a while. Did you not see?”

Xornoth stood silently for a moment, seeming to recall the memory Scott was prompting. “Even if I saw the tree revert to its original colour, that may not speak in my favour. Mother and Father might have learned to accept you, but that will never mean I will!”

“M-maybe we can-rewrite our fate. Together.”

Xornoth pulled Scott back to him and gripped his garments, pressing his lightsaber against his neck. In Scott’s blurred vision he could see tears swelling in his brother's eyes, the amber colour slowly fading to peach. Xornoth choked, “After everything I did to you, I can never forgive myself.”

Scott’s eyes in turn, started to form tears as he replied, “Then let me forgive you first.”

Xornoth let go of Scott and held his own garments where his heart was positioned and knelt down. He gasped for air as if he was strangled instead of Scott. Xornoth let go of his lightsaber, making it retract. He then cradled his head in his hands as sobs came out of his shaking form. Scott knelt down to him. This could be another trap, he was deceitful before, what's stopping him now? Scott pushed the thoughts down, only focusing on the voice in his heart, Your brother needs you.

Scott put his hands on Xornoths quaking shoulders. Xornoth lifted his head slightly, only revealing his now purple eyes still filled with tears continually running down his cheeks. Scott could not hold back his emotions anymore. “I thought I’d never see those eyes again.” Xornoth sprung unto Scott in a hug as he continued to cry, only able to form a few words between gasps. “I am so sorry.”

Scott held his older brother tight, “I forgive you, brother. I love you.”

If you wanna look into the tree reference, I recommend reading Romans 11:17. You can read further than that, but it doesn't really apply.

God bless

Finally finished this Xornoth peice that's been in my back log forever - not enough fun designs for their demon form so here's take and some head cannons under the line

I like the idea he was the favorite kid who was expected to be the champion of Aeor when they and Scott were kids. Like Xornoth was the golden child, except he wasn't. He was trouble maker, charming and loved by all of rivendell but because every mistake he made was hidden and they got away with it due to being the expected champion; I like to think they got the fire powers from Exor but was born with nether plant magic, which would seem much more beneficial and charming in rivendell where there's already snow all the time making Scott's powers useless and seem like a bad sign.

I like to imagine this made Xornoth delusional as he got older, thinking they actually were meant to lead rivendell and be the champion of Aeor, but Scott stole his fate. That Xornoth thinks he's still the good one and this is all Scott's fault for ruining their fates. I feel like it's a fun motivation for them to despise Scott more and more. Also imagine he started to follow Exor out of curiosity, thinking he was so above it all that it wouldn't matter if he dabbled in it. Ie: Xornoth's Ego is their downfall while Scott's self loathing is his.

life series/empires art week day 5: past/future

[kitonuki]

siblings (sudden urge to draw scott and xornoth again)

[wonderinqrache]

So I was reading some reincarnated villainess stories and got an idea for a fic. It's like Empires s1 but set in an academy. The life series members are also there. And the Hermits.

I'm calling this the reincarnated villain au.

The life series winners (Grian, Scott, Pearl, Martyn, Scar) are part of the student council with Grian as the Student Council President.

Grian is only the Student Council President on account of being the one to think of a way to elect council members without it being a popularity contest (the life series)(idk how it works yet, plz give ideas). He has as much power as the Headmaster.

Grian hates his job and leaves everything for the other members to do. The only thing he actually does is sign whatever papers they tell him to because they need his authority as President to do anything. But he doesn't bother reading what he's signing. This leads to chaos and problems that Watcher 1 and 2, the Headmaster and Vice, have to fix.

Cleo is not an official member of the student council, but hangs out with Scott and Pearl in the student council room so much that she's become an honorary member. Everyone is a lot more scared of her than the actual student council members.

Joel and Lizzie are betrothed. Despite this, Joel ends up getting a harem. Somehow. And Jimmy is part of this. Somehow.

Xornoth isn't a demon, they're just Scott's overprotective twin but kind of like Loki (marvel). Sausage is his best friend and Joey is his betrothed.

Xornoth wants Jimmy and Tango dead. Why? Because Jimmy and Scott were betrothed since they were children, but Jimmy falls in love with Tango and accidentally humiliates Scott by calling off the engagement in front of all the students and their parents at a House Blossom Ball.

But now that Scott is no longer betrothed, other people are trying to win his hand in marriage.

Meanwhile, Jimmy is trying to make amends (while Xornoth chases him around with a Very Big Sword) because he never meant any harm but his stunt has caused Very Big Problems (Bigger than the sword Xornoth is chasing him with).

This entire thing is an excuse for Scott rarepairs.
