<b>RE: A New Fate for the Twins [Razgriz x Karameida x Serenity]</b><br/><br/><div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 15px"><a class="link link--external" href="http://liangxinxin.deviantart.com/art/Qingyin-393181862" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Tsukiko Kimiko</a></span>​</div><br/>Tsukiko glanced at the tall grand windows that let in light. Tsukiko could see it battle against the deep darkness in the room. Fed and nurtured by Mortimers own thoughts and feelings. The light and darkness in the world was either made stronger or weaker depending on the hearts of the people who inhabit the world. And the people in this era held much darkness and treachery in their hearts. It was feeding the darkness at an alarming rate. What little light was left was slowly being consumed by the darkness. But with Hikaru's emergence into the world the light gained a foothold that helped them stave off the tendrils of darkness that sought to devour their natural light.<br/><br/>"<b>I think for this conversations he's right Hikaru. For what we have to tell him it might be best if he remained sitting.</b>" She said softly. She watched him relax as he looked at her twin and let out a little sigh. His inner anguish would not be helped by her. She would forever belong to the dark.<br/><br/>They both understood where his thoughts were going and knew they had much to explain. Where to even begin? At his question about where his father was she felt a twinge of guilt inside of her. "<b>Well, it's not unreasonable.</b>" she said closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. "<b>But first to address your earlier thoughts. We <i>are</i> bound to you; you are our contractor. The people who were trying to kill you were the descendants of traitors who sealed myself and my twin away aeons ago.</b>" she said as if telling a story. The usual brusqueness and harshness in her demeanor gone. "<b>As to who we are? Well. Thats a little more difficult to explain. The short version is we are beings who were created in another time and era by the gods. We were sent to the world and tasked with restoring and keeping the balance. We don't fully aid the light nor the dark. We do what we must so that light and dark remain even in power.</b>" she said. "<b>And this world has fallen to darkness. The light in the world is almost entirely gone.</b>" she said trying to convey the seriousness of the situation through her voice.<br/><br/>There was no kind way to tell him about his father. "<b>Your father as well as the rest of the cult are dead....</b>" she said lowering her eyes and trailing off. Taking a deep breath she looked up and straight at him. "<b>I killed them.</b>" she said. "<b>While my twin was healing you down there I killed.</b>" she said again. "<b>I am a warrior. Hikaru is a healer.</b>" she said so that he knew their natures. "<b>As to why they were trying to kill you? We arn't really sure. It's possible that they misunderstood something and thought to unseal us a sacrifice was needed. But what they were after was our power.</b>" she said. Even though she had told her twin to do the explaining she ended up explaining it anyways. But she felt that she had to tell of her own sins to their contractor.<br/><br/>"<b>From here....it might be best if Hikaru explained things a little more.</b>" she said looking at her twin. Hikaru would be able to put him at ease just by being in her presence. Her voice would soothe him and comfort him. Her words while true held no comfort. Just simple truth. But because of her very nature, none could find relief in her presence. The only time one felt at ease around her was in battle. Her abilities and prowess let those around her feel safe. For comfort you went to Hikaru. "<b>This might all seem unbelievable like a big lie but please listen. It's all true.</b>" she said. The people in this world were far more closed off to possibilities than people in the past. "<i>This might take a long time, Hikaru...</i>" she thought to her twin, the thought transmitting to their contractor as well.
