Blackstones & Kingsleys

For sure, Cedric Kingsley had filled his children's heads with negative things about the Blackstones.

So rather than spend his time giving Luke his own opinion and trying to change what he had been taught, Loki thought showing Luke some facts—by giving him a tour—would be better.

Luke had a lot of things to go back to, like today was the 2nd day of the academy's trials, but he didn't mind knowing some history.

There were framed pictures all over the castle, especially along the hallways.

Loki knew where to begin, so he started at one end and walked with Luke, explaining the history of both families from the time the Apocalypse descended two centuries ago.

The pictures were the kind you'd see in patrician homes, showing important family members and the events they had taken part in. The difference was that these were summoners, so their beasts were included in the pictures too.
