For someone like Alexus Luciana Lovell who desperately wanted a “normal” life, there was no worse family for her to have been born into then the Lovell family; she was doomed from the start.

The aforementioned start of it all, began in mid ‘70s. Regulus Lovell was only five when he met his future wife. Likewise, Virginie de la Roche was only six when she met her future husband. Regulus was from a family of Plebians. They were a part of the Impedio Society and were sometimes given menial tasks but were for the most part left out of the loop in regards to more important information. Virginie, on the other hand, was from a family of Patricians. They were considered more important amongst the ranks of the Impedio Society. They may not have been part of the main leadership but they were influential nonetheless. Regulus’ parents were excited for their family to be moving up the ranks of society. Virginie’s parents just wanted their daughter to marry into an easily controlled family. They were not going to allow a family with more power than they had to take their secrets. That would be the end of their family status and their livelihoods. And so the marriage was arranged despite the fact that it was the 1970s and a wedding date was set for approximately twelve years into the future.

Regulus and Virginie grew up together as friends. They went to elementary school together. They ignored each other (well, Virginie ignored Regulus) because of their one year age difference and because cooties. In middle school Virginie got a boyfriend while Regulus focused on his studies. In high school, beautiful, buxom Virginie went through boyfriends like there was no tomorrow. Quiet, intelligent Regulus was top of his class. They were complete opposites and ignored each other when they passed through the school hallways, but at home the situation was completely different. At home they were best friends. They knew what the future held for them. They had known since he was five and she was six. However, through all the years that passed, though they were good friends they never fell in love with each other.

As planned, once they graduated high school, Virginie and Regulus were married. The wedding was small and intimate. It was a loveless, political marriage but it could have been worse. At least they were friends and could tolerate each other. Usually it is the girl that is brought into the husband’s family but thanks to some clever maneuvering by Virginie’s family, Regulus was soon absorbed into the de la Roche family. Virginie and Regulus Lovell were Lovells on paper only. As they adjusted to their newlywed life, pressure from both sides for them to have children was starting to grow. What the parents did not realize was that both their children may be married to each other but they were in an open marriage. Virginie had her men on the side and Regulus, well, it turned out he had his men too. The pressure for them to have children was avoided as much as possible until it became unbearable. The last straw came when the de la Roche family threatened to take away the kids’ finances. With no other choice, the children copulated (awkwardly and reluctantly) and nine months later, their first child was born.

Caius Nero Lovell was a healthy, baby boy born on the 28th of January. As reluctant as the couple was to have children before, they both loved their son dearly. They decided that they would have one more child, one for each of them, or that was the idea anyway, and move on with their lives and respective lovers. About eleven months later, Alexus was born and the family was a dysfunctional but happy one. The parents may not love each other but they loved the children dearly and they were given everything. Sadly for Alexus, the “normal” aspect of her life happened mostly during her first few years of life. When Caius was five and Alexus was four, thing changed. Alexus did not understand what was going on, but it later on in life she would receive the brunt of it.

You see, the de la Roche family is infamous in society ranks for wielding a certain magical item. Well, at least that’s what most people think. It is rumored that the de la Roche family owns a magical incense burner that when used will produce incense that can detect those with potential to be awakened as well as those that are descendants of past people. As a result, the de la Roche family has some sort of influence in the Impedio Society because they are one of the main forces in searching for new members and awakened people. However, the rumor is just that: a rumor. But rumors do have a touch of truth. The de la Roche family is actually the only family of botanist on the planet that has access to an extinct tree from when the kingdoms were around. These trees are crucial in creating the incense that detects links to the past and as such are what allow the de la Roche family to create their special incense. And now the de la Roche secret has been passed to their daughter and her family.

So as it happens, one day when Virginie was making a new batch of incense, she lit some to test out the batch and ensure that it was acceptable. As per usual, the smoke drifted towards the family, attracted by their links to the past. Unfortunately, when it touched her son, the smoke glowed. The light was dim, but there was no mistake. The glowing of the smoke was an indication that her son had the possibility of being awakened. It was catastrophic for the family. The Impedio Society has a history of killing those that are to be awakened in order to prevent disasters. The couple now faced a choice: kill their son or give him up to a family free from the Impedio Society. In the end, the choice was clear. They would not allow their son to die even if it meant that they would have to be separated from their child. Caius was adopted into a kind family with another little girl. Caius was dead, killed by a poisonous snake while they were on vacation in the Grand Canyon. Nathaniel Brandt was “born”.

Alexus’ parents were never the same again. They loved their children but the loss of one shattered them. They had taken everything their family and the Impedio Society had thrown at them but losing their son was the worst thing that could have happened. Regulus began drinking in order to forget the pain. Virginie coped better and took care of her daughter but poured herself into work for a majority of the time. Everyone around them believed that it was because of the death of their child. They did not realize that most of the heartache came from protecting their son from the shadows watching and him grow without them. Alexus could no longer rely on her parents.

With only one child remaining, both the Lovell family and the de la Roche family turned their attention to the little four year old girl that was left. All of the family politics, the secrets, and the work would be forced onto that child. And that was just by the grandparents. The Impedio Society had their own plans for the child as well. When Alexus was thirteen, training began. Under the guidance of the combat instructor, Arcturus, Alexus learned fighting skills and honed her body to be able to do what the Society wanted. Her body hurt like a bitch after the training sessions and the workouts but she did learn from them and became stronger as a result. Also, as the sole heir to the de la Roche family, Alexus needed to learn all the secrets and techniques that made them the best recruiters and searchers on the planet. Alexus was not allowed to have a “normal” life like other children. Alexus had school, then tutoring, training, and at night she would study plants and their properties so that one day she would be able to take over for her mother.

When Alexus was sixteen, her father died of liver poisoning. He always was a weak man. But, what Alexus could not forgive was that as he lay dying, he turned to her and implored her to fulfill his final wish. He begged her to care for her brother and to never let him fall into the hands of the Impedio Society. Alexus was stunned by her father’s words. She knew that Caius was alive. She knew that her parents secretly watched over him and protected him from being found. But why was it that even as he lay dying, it was still her brother? Why had they never shown her so much attention? She had worked hard for years, and given up so much of her life to fulfill their hopes. And now, she had another one added to the list. It was unfair.

Alexus was hurt but she did as she was told. The night her father died, she visited her brother for the first time. She hid from the shadows and she watched, like she had been trained to do. She saw the boy drinking and partying with friends. She saw the boy acting intimate with his girlfriend. Then she saw the boy go home and go to sleep like a normal teenager. She saw a life that she wanted and had to give up because he needed to die. Alexus hated him. She hated the person that she once called a brother because he was the sole reason that she was put through a life of pain and responsibility that she did not want. But Alexus fulfilled her promises. It was one thing that she was proud of. She protected her brother. It did not mean that she had to enjoy it though.

Years passed and she graduated from high school and from all the training and teaching she underwent in order to become part of the Impedio Society. As a fully fledged member of the Impedio Society, Alexus goes out regularly to walk around town for no reason. Alexus no longer hates her job, nor does she hate Nate. It really was not his fault, he was only five at the time. Even so, Alexus has become bitter and pessimistic about the world. She just really hope this whole thing blows over so she can actually do something she wants to do with her life for once.
