Dimensional Descent

Leonel lowered his leg once again and looked toward his uncle. He didn't say anything for a long while, and neither did Montez. It was completely silent, the scent of blood raising through the air as the countless corpses continued to bleed out.

"I can give you another chance to come up with a better lie," Leonel said lightly.

Montez's lip twitched, but he didn't know what to say. He knew nothing about Aina's ability. In fact, the last time he had seen Aina was the last time he had seen Leonel. He had never actually been to Earth before, and when he first met Leonel, it had been nothing more than a projection. As such, when would he have even had a chance to see Aina recently at all, let alone know before Leonel that she was pregnant?

Montez had been around the battlefield when everything happened. He felt that Velasco was too arrogant, arrogant even to the point of disrespecting their own father by refusing to take on his legacy when he was clearly so much better suited for it than Montez himself. But how could Montez not understand the inner turmoil within Velasco? There was a point in the latter's life where he didn't care about anything other than gaining his father's approval.

The truth was that despite the love that Montez and Velasco had for their own father, he hadn't been the best parent. The loss of their mother had led Ishmael down a road that seemed to have no reward at all, and though he never directly took it out on his two boys, he drifted away and apart from them until the day they received news of their death.

Montez and Velasco reacted very differently to this news. Back then, Montez had only been in the Sixth Dimension. His progress was so much more similar to the Cataclysm Generation than it was to his genius of an elder brother. He couldn't do anything but lash out and rage within the confines of his own home.
